• HA restarts the virtual machine if the storage connectivity is lost? If how is HA needs to be configured?

  We plan to go forward with a single dual-port HBA in each of our ESX servers. My concern is that the HBA becomes a single point of failure. HA supports restarting the virtual machine which lose connectivity to back-end storage. We did some testing and it does not appear that HA does not handle this. Even when 'enable us VM monitoring' the machine virtual do not restart on other ESX servers in the cluster that they hang just basically. I've read a few articles which seem to indicate that it should work, but I'm not able to get there. Any thoughts there?

  HA checks the availability of default ESX host. There is an option to monitor the heartbeats reviews, as well. Maybe this will do, but sometimes a guest still works for awhile even if the disk is lost. And as for a long time VMware tools send heartbeats...

• Monitor devices blackBerry Z10 - black except for the storage tab

  Hello

  My monitor of the device (from quick settings) is completely empty except for the storage tab. This means that battery, processor, and memory are all does not properly.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  Each time a random strange behavior or slowness comes, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:

  • Pre-BB10 ONLY devices. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes.
  • Peripheral BB10. Hold the top button until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the unit to be completely stopped (for example, nothing appears on the screen, no lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red light. Wait through the entire boot process. If this fails, you can try the method of battery-pull above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.

  See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

  Good luck!

• How to remove a virtual machine that has lost the storage

  Hello

  I want to remove the drive a virtual machine that has lost its storage. This storage kept OS files and so on. The problem is that because it is lost I can't access most options since they are grey (eg. delete disk). I can't get out of the inventory, but I want to remove it completely. It is impossible to recover the storage that was missing. What is a way to remove it?

  Thanks adavance

  It's because everything else for the virtual machine has been wrapped in storage.

• Why do I have multiple paths to the storage with 1 NIC?

  We try to get our facility to the place where there only one active correction in a data store by setting only 1 active NETWORK card on a switch or a port group. It works well for some data warehouses, but not others. Our storage is active/passive and data warehouses on the LUNS accessed via controller B show a path which is what we want and on accessible LUNS via controller data warehouses a show 2 paths to the data store that we don't want. Ive attached a few screenshots.

  Active cards and active paths are not the same thing.  An active NIC on the server, but several destinations, gives several paths through this unique Server NIC, but multiple cards storage network destination.

  If you really want to limit the number of paths, you must limit your destinations as well.

  In addition, on this screen where you can see/manage the available paths to the storage, you right-click and disable the path you want to be usable.

• If the ESX host in cluster lost the connection to the storage what will happen?

  Hello everyone

  Could someone clarify if the HA agent monitors the availability of storage on an ESX host or is it only the availability of the network on the vSwitch COS?

  Thanx

  working with your team of storage, they probably have the right tools to monitor and alert to such problems.

• command to monitor the connection of ESXi 5 iSCSI storage

  Hello

  What is the command to monitor the charge of iSCSI (vmnic 1 and vmnic 2), I have done in a single switch & configured

  It prescribes by vmware.

  any more command to list the network traffic on each card network & vswitch.

  ??

  Thank you

  You can also use performance graph ordinary in vCenter to monitor the two streams of network interfaces for iSCSI, as well as the number of orders, latencies and similar.

• Disconnect from the storage data store

  We have two datacenters (Server Vcenter linked mode) - A & B

  Site servers A and B are replicated via san (at the end of storage no SRM)

  Note - what is the known issue in environmental - issues of SAN - every day there are stores in the event of disconnection from the storage data. (Question is 4 months old now). in the Windows Server performance issues.

  For the recommended HP fix update the firmwares of controller on both sites (3 HP EVA controllers) which has been successfully complete however problem has not been resolved.

  There are a lot of outages caused by the problem of storage in the environment. As an example under Server is unresponsive due to the store being disconnected from data storage.

  What about port enc on connected to EVA in SAN switches? You have CRC errors and if so, whether the counter has increased? Reset the counter if necessary so that you can monitor it.

  What, EVA connect? Any excessive number of links and housing check the errors of State?

• Differences between the ISCSI connections to the storage in vSphere 4.1 and 5.0.

  I'm in trouble of setting up the connections of storage in a new VSphere 5.0 test environment. In our environment VSphere 4.1, it was possible to create a virtual switch add two Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709 NIC. Set assets. IP Hash value as load balancing. (LACP Etherchannel on physical switches) This configuration uses a grain port and a single IP address. Then add our NetApp NFS storage and ISCSI Equillogic storage. In VSphere 5.0, I can't create this same configuration. I have to create separate with separate IP addresses vmkernal ports? The idea was to have redundant connections to the storage and flow of these two NETWORK cards. Possibly adding additional if necessary to the futuer NETWORK cards. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  How can I work around this:

  "VMkernel network adapter must have an active link exactly and no waiting rising to be eligible for the iSCSI HBA connection."

  I can certainly say that the way which allows you to configure the iSCSI Multipathing is incorrect.

  The main idea is to let Native Multipathing Plugin to decide what network path to choose, not the vSwitch.

  At the level of the network layer, you must have 1 VMK by a physical NIC.

  This technique applies as well for vSphere 4.1 and 5.0, but with the 5.0 it is configured easier and more quickly.

  Here's a very brief consequence of steps

  1. get 2 VMK interfaces and assign an IP by each VMK.

  2. set each VMK to use only one physical NETWORK adapter

  3 GB with storage iSCSI software adapter, turn it on and bind your VMKs 2.

  4 connect to your iSCSI storage space

  5 rescan devices, create the VMFS datastore

  6. set the desired load balancing VMFS method or just set up a prior default create new VMFS

• State "Unknown" to the storage controller on one of our servers, PowerEdge R730

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with one of our servers. I tried to add all our servers PRTG to monitor the State of health and the hard drives. On two of our three servers, it works absolutely perfect, on our third-party server, all the disks are red because 'the component status' is 'unknown '.

  Then I checked this server iDRAC interface and noticed, that under the "storage->-> health and properties of physical disks" the status field contains a question mark for each hard drive. Under 'Storage-> controllers' fields status for 'Health and Properties' and 'Battery controller' it shows an exclamation mark.

  

  

  

  On our other servers, all statuses are all green. Version of firmware and driver are exactly the same on all three servers. I don't know if it's a hardware problem or if it's just a setting error.

  Any ideas?

  Hello.

  What version of OpenManage Server Administrator, OMSA do you use on a server? You are able to view the status of controller and physical drives in the BIOS of the controller, using Ctrl + R? What version of firmware BIOS, H730P and iDRAC?

• The storage control blocks were destroyed

  Tonight I was check my Microsoft color management system and made a demonstration of calibration results. I run a laptop.

  I do this in preparation to rework some of my photographic images in preparation for printing from a site selling products online of art which I am a member. ICC color profiles and so on was my reading today on the internet - Phew!

  In any case, I made a mistake. I had downloaded a profile soft proofing (zip file, I scanned with my anti-virus and that's okay). However, I had not checked out files.

  While I was still in the color management, I clicked on the Add button to add this profile soft proofing, and when I finally found the file and clicked on it once, I got the message: "the storage control blocks were destroyed." Does OK, no information on what to do.

  Then, I went on the internet and do a Bing search and found that it is supposed to be an indication that there is corrupted system files. And, later, I'm a little lost as to what to do.  I didn't run any programs to solve this problem, even ' tho there is something called RepairImage.exe. I decided to come here instead, go to the source. Any help please? Thank you.

  Have you tried to start the computer in safe mode? If so, what was the result? Was question still persists in safe mode?

  Safe MODE: open and used two programs I normally use, and they recorded the changes that I made for them. In clean boot mode, I could see these changes had "taken."

  I tried to calibrate a screen, but only got the following message:

  Red X: display color calibration

  Display color calibration can not calibrate the selected screen [which is my LAPTOP LCD flat screen] because it cannot determine whether the display is in 'mirror', which means that the office is duplicated and show on different screens. Calibration of the color screen cannot calibrate a screen reflected.

  What has been the result of clean boot?

  Starting in MINIMAL MODE: the system enabled me to follow up to completion with screen calibrate (although I didn't want to load the profile of different color referred to in my original post). There is no messages of any kind.

  Re-started in Normal startup mode.

  What can I say? I tried not to make a screen calibrate mode.

  Re views 'mirrored' - I had recently a problem with my Optus Mobile Broadband, which is connected to my PC via a dongle, and the person that I spoke on the phone asked me, and I said yes, although normally I'm not agree to such a thing, remote connect to my PC while we were both on the phone; in other words, a type of Assistance Remote Desktop connection where he was responsible for what was happening on my PC. I could see what he was doing, of course, but not what was going on behind the black screen in the background.

  The program that was used to do this is called LogMeIn, lmi.exe. I have removed this program once we had finished and made sure my Services have been in the appropriate configuration. However, there are now two other installed programs with respect to the service - hwdservice.exe and ouc.exe. And the Optus program is set to automatic in the Services. Previously, it was manual. This has fixed the problem (intermittent network connectivity).

  I wonder if it could have been the cause of this current calibrate display problem.

  I will presume that rebooting the system Safe Mode and clean boot has authorized, on the matter.

  Thank you, Ramesh. Best regards

• See the number of paths per LUN by host

  Hello

  I saw so many scripts these days on how to check my connections of storage, but I still don't get the info for that I'm looking. I'd like to see for each host for each LUN (RDM / Datastore) the number of paths. I found scripts that show me the active paths, paths of deaths and work, but none of them helps me to see the number of paths for each host.

  The following Luke good script seems to be a good starting point, but again once it shows total by hba, that I need for each host per lun.

  $esx = get-VMHost vcdvm580.virtualcenter.lan

  foreach ($hba to (VMHostHba Get - VMHost $esx - type "FibreChannel")) {}

  $target = ((get - see $hba. VMhost). Config.StorageDevice.ScsiTopology.Adapter | where {$_.} Adapter - eq $hba. Key}). Goal

  $luns = get-ScsiLun - Hba $hba - LunType 'disk '.

  $nrPaths = ($target | % {$_.}) Lun.Count} | Measure - Object - sum). Sum

  Write-Host $hba. Device ' target: ' $target. County "devices:" $luns. County ' path: ' $nrPaths
