vCenter storage iSCSI 5.5 and shared between virtual machines

I have just two 2012 Win computers virtual server in the cluster.  I've prested my iSCSI LUNS and the ESX host can see them and I might add in order to become a data store.

My VMs Win2012 need to share the storage for a cluster SQL database.  I have never done this and everything I tried at this point has failed.  I tried to create the ROW, but that only worked to connect it to a player on one of the virtual machines.

I'm sure this is possible, but I'm not even sure where to look.  Is it really that RDM is for or is there another way?  Looks like I have would be sufficient to use the initator iSCSI in Windows to connect to my SAN but that would probably slow.

Any help would be great!

Yes it can be done - have you seen http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-55-setup-mscs.pdf

  • LUNS shared between virtual machines? How?

    Hello..

    I shared LUN for ESXi host and now I want to have a shared LUN for my VMs too how can I do?

    Logic unit number that I want to do shared is already shared between my esx hos, can now do the same LUNS shared between my VMs? Is this possible?

    Tring to use RDMS, but when I assign shared my LUN shared for ESX host so not able to assign the same to another virtual computer that is located on another host ESX ESX LUN to my VM, its goingfrom

    Any idea?

    Thank you

    Once you have assigned to a virtual machine the RDM will be disppear. However as a virtual mode, there is a hard pointer created in the data store. then go on host2 make sure he has access to the LUN, and then add the pointer hard on the virtual computer via the existing disk option.

  • flow of traffic between virtual machines

    If I had 2 machines virtual on the same slide in a M3 of b200 on the same vswitch, is communication on traffic between the 2 vms strictly inside the m3 Server?

    What if I had a virtual machines on a b200m3 and another virtual machine to another b200m3?

    same chassis and the chassis is connected to the FI

    Traffic between virtual machines will stay on the FI or it will mount the switch to basic?

    so, if is blade1 VM1 and VM2 is Blade2 and both on the same vlan
    Traffic will remain within FI or it will go up North to core?

    Both is possible! as I said above: If the entry and exit are on the fabric a RESP. B, it is switched.

    However, it could also be A penetration, exit on B or vice versa and then must go to the North (and get switched L2)

    What if

    Blade1 is VM1 and VM2 is on blade2 but on different VLANS, the traffic will have to hit the correct base gateway?

    Yes!

  • Networking between virtual machines on different hosts

    Hello

    I need some advice on the basic approach to networking between virtual machines, each running on a different host machine.

    Consider the following configuration:

    I have a few processes that are running in a Machine virtual Ubuntu. Call this guest1.  I guest1 race inside a real computer running Windows XP SP3 and VMware Workstation 7.x; Call this host 1.

    I have a copy of this virtual machine that I put on another machine.  Call this Guest2.  I have Guest2 running on a separate physical computer, also runs Windows XP SP3 and VMware Workstation 7.x; Call this host 2.

    Now, I would like to guest1 and 2 comments to make networking with eachother.  I wish they were able to ping, SSH, etc., among others.

    This is where I am stuck. I tried setting the virtual machines to use the bridged network mode.  I tried to connect my router on each computer and manually assigning IP addresses to each host and each virtual computer.  When I do this, guest1 can Host1 and Host2 ping, but cannot ping Guest2 and vice versa.

    What is the right way to do this kind of network?  This seems like an obvious application, if you want to perform simulations on multiple virtual machines residing on different computers on the network.

    I apologize if this is the answer elsewhere, I had to dig and was not able to find the solution.

    Thanks in advance!

    Guests must be on the same subnet, like 'real' hardware machines.

    1 when you copied the VM and then started, what did answer you the question of copy/move? (this determines if a new MAC address is applied)

    2 view each guest and ' ipconfig/all' results 'ifconfig - a' by the hosts.

  • No ping between virtual machines

    Hello

    I use VMWARE 7 program... I installed two virtual machines (windows server 2008 and windows 7)... I have attached two pic for each other... .my problem is... There is no rattling between these two machines... I disabled the firewall in both entities... How you can help me in this...

    My respects

    Post edited by: a.p. - changed the subject of the "Greetings" to "no ping between virtual machines.

    I do a bit of practice for MCITP study... In windows server 2008, I use Bridge and in the Windows NAT using 07:00

    Well, I guess you should start your trip MCITP become familiar with the IP configuration and routing

    Addresses that you configured do not work that way. Assuming that the physical - bridged - network (if connected) is 192.168.100.x, you may be able to access the Windows Server 2008, but you will never be able to access the virtual from Windows 7 computer with the NAT configuration, because NAT is running on another network (vmnet8 - 192.168.201.x). Depending on the need or not to be able to access the outside world of the virtual machine, you should consider is instituted two virtual machines with an IP address in the range of vmnet1 (Host-Only - 192.168.80.x) or vmnet8 (NAT - 192.168.201.x). In the case of NAT, configure the virtual machine for DHCP or use IP addresses between x.x.x.3 and x.x.x.127.

  • Disable copying files between virtual machines

    When I go to several virtual desktops using VMware View 4, I am able to copy files between virtual machines. Virtual machines are located in various isolated networks. It is a security problem in my organization and how do I disable this feature? I am not able to find any related configuration in sight connection to the server. Thank you!

    I assume you are using RDP as the Protocol currently, correct?

    In this case, you will need to implement some GPO:s in the workstations to avoid copy and paste.

    Look in the 'Extras' folder on the view connection server, there are a number of ADM files that you can implement to restrict all sorts of things.

  • Commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player

    Where can I find the commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player on a host Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)?

    I need to start and stop the virtual computer from a script as I could do this by selecting the ' power on ' and his 'guest stop' or at least 'power off' options of the GUI of VMware player.

    If a control interface is not available, is available if I update to VMware Workstation?

    Concerning

    Marius

    With the player, the VIX API is a separate download (on the same page you downloaded the install drive in), so I guess you will have to install the separate package to use it.  But it's pretty easy to do...

  • VMware HA and recovery of virtual machines (not to restart them)?

    Hello

    I need help clarify something with VMware HA.

    When I do manually our primary ESXI host, the VMs appear and restart on the secondary host.

    Yes virtual machines are restarted automatically, but it does not resume the virtual machine without interruption as DRS and provides that vMotion.

    Is there a way I can configure HA to not restart and resume the virtual machine in place without interruption?  If not, what are my other options I can configure in VMware ESXi do exactly, if any?

    Thank you very much

    Jan

    HA is used in the event of a host failure, so there is no chance to migrate a workload (curriculum vitae) to another host. What you are asking for can be achieved with FT (Fault Tolerance) where a secondary VM is created on a different host and basically synchronized with the primary virtual machine. In case of failure of the primary virtual machine VM school can resume (almost) without interruption.

  • Sharing of virtual machines and the NETWORK adapter settings

    I usually have multiple NICs per physical machine, and I often map more than one NETWORK card in a virtual machine. This does all work well with 'regular' virtual machines and virtual network Editor. I use 10.0.1 on linux 64-bit Workstation.

    As soon as I share a virtual machine, the NIC mappings cannot be changed in any useful way. I can spend only NAT, HostOnly and connected by a bridge in a ComboBox control, without the ability to select a specific vmnet. Although connections are bridged, they are displayed as NAT, which makes no sense at all...

    What is the reason for this? I'm doing something wrong? If this is the intended behavior, it's shared VMs useless for me...

    Kind regards

    Thomas

    I reinstalled VMware Workstation and now I understand what happened.

    I need ever - and HostOnly-setting in NAT network, so the first thing I usually do after installing VMware is to remove them and fills vmnet0 to eth0 and eth1 to vmnet1. This works perfectly well with non-shared virtual machines.

    For shared virtual computers, this mapping has been messed up somehow. Now it seems to work fine, I removed all the vmnets and has created vmnet10-> eth0 and vmnet11-> eth1.

    If the problem is solved for me; but I can't say how the maps I screwed up. I certainly had two bridged devices, but has been shown only a single bridged device.

  • What is the difference between cloning and Coverting a Virtual Machine

    Hello

    I'm starting to learn more about vmware. My organization is already a VMware/Vsphere infrastructure, I am trying to familiarize myself with various aspects of VMware, so I wanted to know what is the difference between a virtual machine cloning and to convert a virtual machine using Vconverter?

    They both end up giving double a VM, or is there a difference between the two?

    Thanks in advance.

    Cloning can be done with the virtual machine or not.  P2V requires the source runs and you must install the converter.

  • iSCSI without Jumbo frames for 15 Virtual Machines

    I have a physical to VME to be implemented which took the material for the SAN already purchased and resources research I see I have a HP MSA2324i table, two HP DL 380 G6 servers with two HP 2512 switches, but I found that this switch does not support jumbo frames.

    This means that I'll have to stick to the default 1 500 bytes for Ethernet iSCSI frames and I worry, how this may affect the performance of storage network.  I have migrated 15 servers, and of them, I have both SQL Server 2005 and a role of mailbox Exchange 2010 for 100 users.

    My thought is that I have a load of really light work that the SQL Server, databases don't support every 20 users and I should be able to keep these virtual machines running efficiently without the use of frames.

    Are there experiences of the V sphere 4.1 functioning when using standard Ethernet iSCSI?

    See you soon

    Kyle

    I don't have not upgraded to 4.1 yet, but we ran standard ethernet iSCSI on 3.5 for several different machines and never encountered any problems.    VSphere is out with enabled frames, but I did not notice a huge difference.   I think you'll be fine, but you should definilty keep an eye on things.
