• Compare the performance of virtual machine using RDM for physical Machine with HBA

  With the help of some great users, I recently converted a node of a cluster, MSCS running Server 2003 and SQL 2000 to a virtual machine for the cluster resulting has a physical node and a virtual node using RDM drives. See http://communities.vmware.com/thread/187822 If you're interested.

  Now my question revolves around performance. Colleagues who manage programs running on that cluster related that a backup every night a database on the thesystem take 10 minutes on a physical hardware and takes 30 minutes. A restoration took 45 minutes and now takes a little less than three hours. Is this kind of drop in performance to be expected? Is there some specific changes that I can look to improve performance.

  The virtual machine works like a single virtual machine on a machine of update3 ESX3.5. ESX server has two processors Quad-cores and 32 GB of ram, 30 GB assigned to the virtual machine.

  Any help or pointers to more information would be greatly appreciated.

  Check your card vSCSI.  If you P2V'ed, you're likely to have a Buslogic adapter.  The Buslogic adapter will limit the length of the queue 1 and limit the I/O.  Replace with the free and see if that helps you.

• VMware vSphere 5 Essentials Kit for 3 guests (3 physical servers)

  Hello

  I currently use the number of servers with the free version of VMWare ESXi 5.

  So now I want to use more RAM and want to have more tools like backup tool, clone.

  I've been reading in vmware site but it makes me a bit of confusion.

  Can someone clarify this for me:

  1. what should I do after the 'VMware vSphere Essentials Kit' command that allows me to manage 3 physical servers, while I use "VMware vSphere Client" free edition?

  2 should I change or action with "VMware vSphere Hypervisor?

  3. the fee of $495 is a right to life or it's annual fee? The subscription is required for first year only, is that correct?

  4. "VMware vSphere Essentials Kit' supports up to 192 GB of RAM per physical server and max of 32 GB of RAM per VM?

  5. What is the difference with "VMware vSphere Standard" edition?

  It's a few links I've read:

  Thank you very much!

  1 + 2) Just enter the new license key. No need to reinstall the hosts or stop the virtual machines. In the oder to the Manager of all 3 hosts from the same management interface, you must configure vCenter Server, which is included in the Kit of Essentials.

  3.) after the initial purchase, it's your decision if you renew the subscription after the first year.

  4.) there have been a few changes since release of vSphere regulatory policy 5. With the release of vSphere 5.5 all material limitations (cores per CPU and RAM) have been removed (see http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf).

  5.) see page 6 in Licensing, Pricing and packaging white paper

• Physical servers to virtual

  Hi all

  I was responsible for 70% of our 67 physical servers migration to virtual.

  I crossed them, did some checking on what programs he works etc.

  I was hoping to find out, is there any software anyone know who would be able to tell me what process/RAM/Hard Disk Space etc. is used on the physical in a report server so that I can then look at that and see what I need in my virtual server.

  Hope that makes sense.

  Thank you so much as always.

• How can I check the disc for physical integrity on Satellite P305?

  I have P305-S8838.

  I had some freezing problems earlier this month, and on the notice here, I nu start-up and reduced services a little at a time.
  Now, I have a few more crash but don't know if it's a physical disk problem.

  For example... I have run CHKDSK and does many things and happens at the exact same spot and hangs at step 4 file 5 3498 or 421168 processed.

  I tried to run CHKDSK in SafeMode but tells me drive is locked and it will run when I restart. But the restart put back me in normal mode and get the same hang.

  Now, for more suspicion of a physical problem. I tried to make a disk image with ACronis and same problem occurs because he says impossible to reading data 226 964, 072 sector and ask if I want to ignore and continue. I say yes to everything. Log shows he made about three of these attempts and crashes.

  I ran sfc/scannow and it says found problems that he was unable to fix. The newspaper isn't so long and complex course that all means. I could send these log files if someone can help me understand.

  I ran the test of memory OK.

  I if I could put in DVD Toshiba and certain diagnoses, but when I put in the disk I get this big warning I'll crush, etc and I have chicken.

  This didn't stop me to use the computer, but its all irritating.

  How can I check the disc for physical integrity?

  Bob

  Hello

  He idea goo to check the HARD disk and run some diagnostic procedures.
  For this, I recommend the freeware tool called Drive Fitness Test.
  It allows you to check the HARD disk for certain physical defects.

  Google for this tool. You can get it from multiple pages download

• How the practice is to use iCloud for storage with a new MacBook Air documents

  I currently have almost 500gig in documents on my macbookpro 2012.  Thinking of getting a new MacBook Air. For storage, I need to iCloud or a external hard drive. Don't want to carry a second piece of equipment, so I think almost any movement to the cloud. It's convenient.  Safe?

  Simply store your 500 GB of documents in iCloud is a space-saving convenience and sharing between or on your Mac (s). It is not a backup strategy because Apple does not archive the user data stored in iCloud. External, 2 TB USB3 drive will fit in the Palm of your hand, weighs almost nothing and ensures that Time Machine is to backup your user data wherever you are. It is the solution that I use with my MacBook Air to 2014, even when sitting in a coffee shop (and using VPN for security). Time Machine also captures Users/yourname/Library/Mobile Documents, which is your application compatible iCloud files and documents.

  As well as a Time Machine backup of this 500 GB of documents, I would like to put them on another external drive that goes on the plateau to ensure the guard. Sometimes external drives completely fail without warning, including two Time Machine disks that happened to me over the past four years.

  If you choose to use another non-Apple Cloud service, read the fine print on this autonomy of providers to transfer data between international servers, and your rights under foreign laws and safety distance will always give you access to your data.

• Running one of the virtual machines on two physical servers at the same time. Server 2012

  Hello!

  I'll admit that I'm not exactly an expert Server nor I claim to be. I could use some help with the installation I build and eventually moving customers to server setup. In an effort to try to describe my question, here is a first draft of what looks like my setup.
  
  Rackstation 1 is therefore a Synology Rackstation, which runs high-availability Rackstation 2. Directly, cabledtogether, Rackstation 2 works passively and constantly updates a copy of Rackstation 1 Rackstation 1 failure.
  Host 1 running server 2012 and therefore host 2. Currently I have 6 servers virtualized on Rackstation 1, using Hyper-V Manager of 1 host. I created ISCSI storage for every server virtualized LUNS and currently have ISCSI targets to be used with host 1 pointing to the LUN. I created another series of ISCSI for Host 2 targets as well.  The idea is to have 2 host run the Hyper-V Manager and be able to connect to the virtualized servers same Rackstation 1 just like host 1 is currently. That way if nothing ever happens to the host 1, host 2 quickly usable for servers. All that seems to be able to do with host 2 is create new virtualized servers, instead of link those already created. Currently, regarding the RAM for virtualized servers, they use host 1.
  So, is there a way for host 2 to have the same virtual servers as host 1?  What I need to change my configuration to achieve this? IM open to ideas and advice on how to reconcile that far.

• features of vBundle/speed for physical host computers

  I was wondering if a cartridge is available, or if someone is using vFoglight for host computers physical montior and are you able to generate reports, dashboards, etc., with the same level of detail as you can get with vFoglight with vBundle and/or speed available with their views, etc.?

  You can use the OS cartridges or the new cartridge of the Infrastructure (depending on which version of vFoglight you are on) to monitor the physical host computers. I do not have readily available additional similar 1-vBundle-speed for the Physicla guests.

• With the help of several radius for authentication servers

  Hello.

  I want to install a PPTP to my router and I wonder if it is possible to use windows multiple IAS servers on a Cisco router?

  The scenario is that I have more than one business using this PPTP connection and they all have their own advertising on their own VLAN, I would like the router to forward the authentication request containing the username and password for all IAS of Windows servers that I specify or go through them one at a time until it receives an awnser.

  Is this possible?

  Best regards Tommy Svensson

  Tommy,

  This is not possible because if a radius server receives a user name, it will be simple rejection the user and send this response to the Cisco router. The radius Protocol is not throw or send any message to warn the router that the user is not present in its database.

  I know that with ACS that if a username has been sent with a special domain can proxy communication on the acs server and the Cisco router based on the user name.

  I hope this helps.

• Use ACFS for CFS is good idea?

  Hello Experts.

  Nothing necessary at the top of the ACF. He will manage by oracle itself as ASM.

• The kernel cache exists for physical Raw Device Mapping?

  Hello

  I use a SAN storage disk attached to the operating system as "Physical Raw Device Mapping" and mounted at/mnt/disk1.

  I was lke take backup of/mnt/disk1 with "SAN Storage FlashCopy function", which copy entire disk in the SAN storage box, bypassing the operating system Linux and VMware kernel.

  Summary of the backup script is as follows.

  Step1: Synchronize "clear the cache of the Operatiog Linux system

  Step 2: umount/mnt/disk1

  Step 3: ExecFlashCopy ' run SAN Storage FlashCopy function

  Step 4: mount/dev/sde/mnt/disk1

  But if the VMware kernel cache for 'Physical Raw Device Mapping Device', "Empty the Cache of VMware" is necessary in step 2.5.

  You know VMware cache exists for P "effective Raw Device Mapping Device", and how do I rinse it out.

  Thank you.

  Your proposal is false. ESXi is not linux and does not cache for VMFS.

  ESXi does not cache the IO VM guest operating system receives IO acknowledgement when the disk controller to acknowledge completion of e/s.

  ESXi doesn't have any cache for RDM, what is physical or virtual.

• Research in migration Exchange and SQL from physical servers to virtual machines... thoughts?

  Hi all, I use VMs for several years now, however back to the use of VMWare. I am currently running ESXi 4 on 2 servers separate host, with about 16 small resource type of the applications without any problem. I heard years keep intensive stuff like Exchange and SQL out of a VM guest, for reasons of system, but now I see a ton of articles from VMWare and windows push the thing to do. I have a relatively small environment compared to what they are touting... I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has any experience/thoughts on this? If I go this route I would probably look to buy some of the nicer features instead of using just the free version of ESXi.

  My current Setup uses HP DL360G5 servers that are coming out of warranty early next year, with the disk subsystem provided by a built environment of Equallogic iSCSI, on an isolated GB network SAN. I thought rather than buy 2 replacement servers that I can put the money to the full version of vSphere with some other goodies it offers.

  My Exchange environment is a relatively small number of boxes letters, but larger in size, running 2003 currently with 200 mailboxes to about 300 GB of space. I intend to switch to 2007 or 2010 next year as part of the migration of VM. I have to go to the next version will include likely standing another server, so I might be looking to buy 2 servers instead of 1.

  My SQL environment is small to begin with, a single instance of SQL 2005 with about 20 DB 120 GB in total size.

  2 guest machines I have are two Quad-processor Xeon dual socket with 16 GB and 24 GB of RAM, with less than 50% of RAM use each... and the processing power is hardly be affected at all.

  Sorry that it's a lot of info, I hope it makes sense for someone...

  Fix.

  You just need to do some analysis of storage before you virtualize servers in order to understand the needs of e/s. But if you move storage to local disk then any loss of performance, you can get to virtualize the server is offset by the gains in terms of the solution of SAN - faster storage & drives high-performance, virtual RAID, active\active controllers, cache... etc.
