Unable to access QLogic Fibre Channel HBA

Hello

We have RHEL4 on a Virtual Machine. We are using VMWare Server 2. Host operating system also is RHEL4. Material is Server Blade Qlogic Fibre Channel HBA. We have HP EVA SAN attached is this server blade and some virtual disks are presented.

I also want to access SAN on a Virtual Machine, unable to detect fiber channels. I installed the QLogic on Virtual Machine driver.

Help, please

Try to add a SCSI device to passthrough at the prompt (when turned off).

  • Fibre Channel vs. Fibre Channel over Ethernet

    Hello everyone,

    Have questions about storage of this connection technology:

    1. what kind of cards are required for the FC and FCoE?

    2. do I need these adapters on both sides, server, and storage?

    3. what switches and cables are required for the FC and FCoE?

    Thnx in advance

    1. what kind of cards are required for the FC and FCoE?

    FC = Fibre Channel HBA Qlogic QLE2462 or OEM of Emulex.

    FCoE = cards of convergent network (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre_Channel_over_Ethernet)

    2. do I need these adapters on both sides, server, and storage?

    HBA is required on the server. They connect to FC switches. The switches connected to the SAN, who also has the appropriate maps build-in.

    3. what switches and cables are required for the FC and FCoE?

    FC switches

    Cables could be Multimode, multimode or copper.

  • Can I disable the B200 blade Fibre Channel vHBA

    Hello

    I'm setting up my service to my B200 blades profiles and I was wondering if there was a way to disable the Fibre Channel HBA. I will not use CF as all my iSCSI storage.

    Thank you

    LTA

    When you create a service profile, you are asked if you want the storage (= CF) or not; you say no!

    If you missed this step and you have created vhba, just remove them later.

    It is not possible to disable vhna.

  • 4.1 and vCenter ESX only allows to use 1 Fibre Channel LUNS

    Hello

    I have 8 blades ESX 4.1 (build 348481) in a Cisco UCS 5108 chassis. Each blade has 2 x HBAs available. I also have a fiber channel storage array that is configured to provide 2 1.8 to LUN (for now and in the future).

    When I go in vCenter and select one of the ESX servers under "Configuration"-> "Storage adapters"-> "Rescan all...» "each server detects the table (and several paths towards it) but only shows a single available LUNS (LUN 0) when 2 LUNS should be available (LUNS 0 and 1 logical unit number). See the image below.

    esx1_singlelun.png

    Now, the thing that confuses me is that when I get on the command-line of the ESX via SSH server and run "esxcfg-mpath - b", I see a list of all the paths including the paths to the LUNS 0 and 1 logical unit number (see output below). Any ideas on why ESX and vCenter authorizes me to LUN 1?

    Its because the table shows two LUNS have the same value of ID of Page 83, ESX both think you have 2 paths to the same LUN.  Paths multiple ESX driver uses the value of the ID of Page 83 to determine if 2 LUNS are the same device.

    It was a problem with that code, that it resembles yours-based Solaris beginning according to the tables and other tables that used code based on Solaris pre-COMSTAR, as well as tables that use SCWIST.

    There is really nothing you can do about it, because it is a bug in the software of the array (it shouldn't be exporting 2 LUNS different with the same ID value of Page 83 - it is a violation of the standard).

  • Two R810s, each with two 8Gb Fiber Channel HBA + MD3620F + MD1220

    Hi people.

    I am planning an installation on this end, and I'm tender hand in the hope that the community can help me carry this all together.

    To explain, I have two servers Dell PowerEdge R810, each with two 8 GB HBA Fibre Channel adapters.

    I also have a Bay SAN of Dell PowerVault MD3620F 8 Gbps, with two controllers.

    I also have a Dell PowerVault MD1220 DAS SAS Expander Bay.

    I think to connects both R810 servers directly to the MD3620F, in order to consume all ports of four CF on the MD3620F. That is, one in each controller, from two HBAs in each server. (I can do this, or do I need a Fibre Channel switch? The MD3620F has 4 available ports, 2 per controller, so it would seem to be a natural configuration for only these two servers)

    Then, I will link the MD1220 to the MD3620F, so that its readers are also accessible through the two R810s on the link of Fiber Channel 8 Gbps. (what is the process to connect a MD1220 to a MD3620F?)

    Thoughts, tips, suggestions?

    Thank you

  • Fibre Channel card configuration on the host esx 5.1

    Hi all,

    I have three 5.1 esxi hosts.  I have new port 2 8G Fibre Channel cards installed in each and pass the cable FC since the card port goes to the fiber.

    It's my first time in collaboration with CF cards VMware hosts, what else should I do for these cards to be active or updated network in?  A good explanation, Docs and or video would be extremely welcomed.

    Just ask EMC technology to make the zoning on the SAN switch and the LUN masking and card introduced volumes to your hosts on the side storage... after the volumes, simply go to your ESXi, rescan your HBA and create data warehouses.

  • 10GB Ethernet - Fibre Channel

    Most of my clients can hold 10 000 to 15 000 ther budget for:

    Storage

    Infustructure network

    HBAs for ESXi host

    Are there tool or a way to find solutions for businesses who want to enter the field with Essentials more, but because of the e/s, we need more storage gigabit NIC.

    Is the next logical leap of 1 gigabit 10Gbe? Or is it Fiber Channel?

    Hey...

    "fibre channel" is essentially a storage architecture...

    You are considering fiber ethernet by opposition to the copper perhaps?... 1000BASE-SX or LX for example...

    That there is no increase in bandwidth over copper gigabit... It is used to connect longer distances, copper CAN... or connect two buildings where a connection copper between two buildings with two blocks of independent electricity is against the regulations (it is the case in the United Kingdom),

    The next viable step upwards of copper gigabit "done, team/shared resources" several gigabit copper... or 10GBE which maybe more fiber or copper.

    We use dual 10GBE fiber in our ESX host and our Center database to the production and satellite floor data centers.

    Hope that helps... after if is not the info you wanted... :-)

  • Unable to access several sites and install apps in the appstore. A possible malware issue. What should I do?

    Hey guys,.

    I am using a 8 GB Mac Mini with an i5 processor clocked at 2.6 GHz Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 (14F27).

    I don't have problems with this until I visited a torrent site (I hate invited but unfortunately I did this time). Since that unfortunate activity, I get mackeeper pop ups and my search engines by default on all my browsers like Safari, Firefox and chrome automatically replaced by trovi. I can't access to 90% of websites like YouTube except facebook, twitter, Netflix, gmail, google, yahoo and other email clients. I get a "cannot connect" on firefox and messages error 'Safari cannot connect to the server. I checked with the ISP settings and proxy but no problem there as my other devices such as the ipad and the iphone apple work fine on the same wifi network. I erased all the extensions, cookies and cache but without success.

    I am also unable to access the app store to install applications. I wanted to make its own memory and a removal of the malware, but couldn't that since the appstore could not contact the server.

    I mainly use this machine for audio production and browsing through Logic Pro X.

    What is a malware problem? If so, how to fight that? Should I format my HD and upgrade to El Capitan? Who will solve the problem?

    Kindly help.

    See you soon,.

  • Problem with XServe and XServe RAID via Fibre Channel

    Hello everyone,

    I have a problem with my blended Xserve RAID.

    I see in RAID-Admin and configure it successfully (via Ethernet). Connect with our Xserve via Fibre Channel, but the XServe and XServe RAID do not detect each other.

    The fiber on the Xserve channel LEDs are white on the Xserve RAID completely off and permanent.

    RAID-Admin status of Fibre Channel: 'No connection (1 table)' with a red square.

    If I try to open the utility of fiber channel I get the message: "card Fibre Channel is not found." Utility disk OS X can't, too.

    I changed the card connector cable, and made several reboots. But each time the same thing: they do not detect each other.

    Xserve (2009):

    -2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5500

    -Map of Apple dual-channel 4 Gb Fibre Channel (LSI7204EP)

    XServe RAID:

    -RAID 5 in an array (only on the left with 5 x 500 GB)

    -1.5.1 Firmware

    -Cable Apple 4 Gb SFP - SFP

    Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English!

    Hi Mpm-Mainz,

    Check if you have enabled LUN masking. To be able to see, you will need to download raid admin 1.5 not the 1.5.1

    Xserve RAID Admin Tools 1.5

    Have you also tried to use the other controller? Even if there is no disc in there, then it should appear in the preferences of fiber card system.
