• Best practices for vsphere 5.1

  where can I find the doc more up-to-date about berries EQL configuration / best practices with vmware vsphere 5.1

  Hello

  Here is a link to a PDF file that covers best practices for ESXi and EQL.

  Best EqualLogic practices ESX

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../20434601.aspx

  This doc mentions specifically that the storage Heartbeat VMKernel port is no longer necessary with ESXi v5.1.  VMware has corrected the problem that made it necessary.

  If you add it to a 5.1 system it will not hurt.  It will take an IP address for each node.

  If you upgrade 5.0 to 5.1, you can delete it later.

  Here is a link to VMware which addresses this issue and has links to other Dell documents which confirm also that it is fixed in 5.1.

• Best practices for migrating workflows, actions, patterns between environments

  Hello

  Is there a better document practical to migrate workflows, actions and configuration between vco (-> production development) environments. We want to lock all the workflows/action/configurations in prod. Migration can be done manually through package. Is there something more than that.

  Thank you

  Create a Package using Orchestrator (change the drop-down list in the client in CREATING packages of access mode).

  Add the desired workflow, actions, resources and Configurations to the package. As they added, dependent actions, workflows, resources and configuration items will be detected and added to the package.

  Right-click on the package and either export or synchronize.

  Backup file system export package / archive. Then import it on the server (test or production) target.

  Synchronize to test or prod server when you are ready.

  In both cases, you will be presented with a comparison window that indicates what workflow / actions/configurations/resources will be updated on the target system.

  Make an element by element synchronize would be tedious and could miss dependencies packages are the preferred and recommended best practice.

  For additional info of workflow development lifecycle, see blog of Christophe here: http://bit.ly/vroWdlc

• Best practices for network configuration of vSphere with two subnets?

  Well, then I'll set up 3 ESXi hosts connected to storage shared with two different subnets. I configured the iSCSI initiator and the iSCSI with his own default gateway - 192.168.1.1 - targets through a Cisco router and did the same with the hosts configured with its own default gateway - 192.168.2.2. I don't know if I should have a router in the middle to route traffic between two subnets since I use iSCSI ports linking and grouping of NETWORK cards. If I shouldn't use a physical router, how do I route the traffic between different subnets and use iSCSI ports binding at the same time. What are the best practices for the implementation of a network with two subnets vSphere (ESX host network: iSCSI network)? Thank you in advance.

  Install the most common iSCSI would be traffic between hosts and

  the storage is not being routed, because a router it could reduce performance.

  If you have VLAN 10(192.168.1.0/24) iSCSI, VLAN 20 (192.168.2.0/24) ESX

  MGMT and VLAN 30 (192.168.3.0/24) comments VMs and VLAN 40 (192.168.4.0/24)

  vMotion a deployment scenario might be something like:

  NIC1 - vSwitch 0 - active VMK (192.168.1.10) MGMT, vMotion VMK (192.168.4.10)

  standby

  NIC2 - vSwitch 1 - current (VLAN30) guest virtual machine port group

  NIC3 - vSwitch 2 - active VMK1 (192.168.1.10) iSCSI

  NIC4 - vSwitch 2 - active VMK2 (192.168.1.11) iSCSI

  NIC5 - vSwitch 1 - current (VLAN30) guest virtual machine port group

  NIC6 - vSwitch 0 - MGMT VMK (192.168.2.10) standby, vMotion

  VMK (192.168.4.10) active

  You would place you on VLAN 10 storage with an IP address of something like target

  192.168.1.8 and iSCSI traffic would remain on this VLAN. The default value

  gateway configured in ESXi would be the router the VLAN 20 with an ip address of

  something like 192.168.2.1. I hope that scenario help set some options.

• Best practices for vSphere 5 Networking

  Hi all

  Given the following environment:

  (1) 4 physical servers, each server has 16 (Gigabit) network interface cards will install vSphere 5 std.

  (2) 2 switches with SAN storage battery function

  (3) 2 Equallogic PS4000 SAN (two controllers)

  (4) 2 switches for the traffic of the virtual machine

  As for networking, I intend create some vSwitches on each physical server as follows

  1 vSwitch0 - used for iSCSI storage

  6 network adapters are associated with IP-hash, multitracks with iSCSI Storage consolidation policy. and storage load balancing is round Rodin (vmware)

  (vmware suggests to use 2 cards for 1 traget of IP storage, I'm not sure)

  2 vSwitch1 - used for the virtual machine

  6 Teamed network adapters for the traffic of the virtual machine, with the hash intellectual property policy

  3 vSwitch2 - management

  2 network cards are associated

  4 vSwitch3 - vMotion

  2 network cards are associated

  You would like to give me some suggestions?

  Alex, the standard set by the storage and VMware is used by dell for their servers and tested sound on their equipment and the publication of the document, it is recommended...

  This sound is the best practice for dell server with this model mentioned in the document to use.

  Hope that clarifies...

• What is the best practice to merge both vMware vSphere environments?

  We recently bought another company that also manages vMware 4.

  They have a 4-node cluster and we have a 3 a node. Each is managed by its own vcentre.

  What would be the best practice to migrate all the guests and the hosts on the server main vCentre.

  Thank you

  Lance

  I choose one of the vCenters, unplug and remove hosts from the other and connect them to those elected. Configure the cluster after that (all in the same or keep the separation of the group, which I think is the best)

  You can also use related modes.

• SAN Best Practices for VSphere

  Hello world!

  I am new on VSphere and newest on the SAN, but I want to make all things right from the beginning. Where can I find a best practice document on the SAN and VSphere? I am looking for some recommendations on the design and deployment of SAN. What size for VMFS? How many virtual machines are recommended?

  I hope some of you can help me. Thanks for taking your time to read this

  Good bye.

  Are what types of SAN you using FC/iSCSI/NFS? Nor the means, you should architect your storage space redundant with several storage processors connected to several switches / HBA several guests. For the size of the LUN, between 400-600 GB would be a good thing and not put too many guests on a single LUN to prevent the conflict in booking iSCSI and tend to be I/O-bound and result in "fly". Standard rule is 4-6 VMs by heart and it depends on the types of loaded applications. Always start with 1 vCPU and 1024 MB of ram, started by and increase if necessary. Not recommended to use extensions to within the data store so plan accordingly. If you use RDM to sql, exchange or file server purposes plan accordingly because it has limits on the mode to use. I read VMware best practices guides and use your practices best sellers as well. Good luck in your design!

• Best practices for migration .rpd

  Hello
  Can someone please share with us the best industry practices for the migration of the file .rpd from a source (QA) to a destination environment (Prod). Our Oracle BI server is running on a unix machine, and now what we do to migrate is to save copies of the QA and prod .rpds on our local machine group and perform a merger. Once merged, we the .rpd resulting for the machine of destination (prod) via ftp. This approach seems unreliable, and we are looking for a better approach for the migration of .rpd. Kindly help me where I can find Documentation... Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

  I don't think that there is a best practice of the industry as such. What is true for one client doesn't necessarily apply to another site.

  Good read of this from Mark Rittman, it should give you some good ideas:

• HP stream 11-d008tu: best practices for migrating to Windows 10?

  Hey there, I have a HP flow 11-d0008tu and received the notification I can upgrade to Windows 10. I want to do a clean install with a downloaded ISO but knowledge first of all, it is better to upgrade so that you get the activation done.

  Can someone give me some ideas on best practices for the upgrade? The stream has only 30GB HD so I have no recovery disk, I'll just do a recovery later on USB or SD card. When I do the upgrade can deselect recovery option or delete?

  Also, any other suggestions appreciated, especially which helps make effective for small HD

  See you soon

  Hi, I posted an installation procedure for Windows 10 fresh for the Tablet HP Stream here.  Also, I have a laptop 11 flow but do not have that yet. I think it must be the same because they both the same drive of mem 32 GB Hynix. A change would you probably want to use the 64-bit instead of 32-bit Windows 10 ISO file, the Tablet has only 1 GB of RAM.

• vSphere 5 ESXi host - RAID config best practice?

  Hi all

  I'm pretty new to VMWare and wonder what's the best Setup for RAID

  I have a HP DL380 G7 with SAS 4 x 600 GB discs.

  It is a simple server lab/DR, and I intend on creating a RAID-5 volume with no hostspare. Can I partition the RAID and put the ESX software on a small partition and use the other partition for the data store? If possible it is best practice?

  I imagine there will be a performance by having the same RAID volume, making of the reads/writes on the ESX software and storage at the same time. Would I be better to throw some 72 GB in RAID 1 on the server so just for the ESX software and maybe to store some ISOs?

  Thank you!

  B

  Don't worry ESXi. It works entirely in memory and only stores the configuration changes and logs on the HARD drive. I'd go with the RAID5 configuration that you mentioned.

• Issue of best practice

  Hello

  I mounted the UN lab pour assess vSphere 5.

  I have a switch and 2 servers.

  Problem:

  vCenter is currently on a VM Server n ° 2. Resources are not sufficient and it is possible that I will reinstall.

  Question:

  More than the way of the East which simple / Secure / quick pour transfer this VM on the server # 1.

  Good evening

  Without the use of special features, you can also:

  -clone the virtual machine

  -migrate from the

  fishing - your vcenter server.

  -start the clone vcenter server.

  and:

  -Since the clone migrate the original stop the clone / delete it and restart the original.

  UO:

  -check that the ok to EST vcenter.

  -delete the original and keep the clone.

  After I know best practices, but in any case by causing, you Microsoft have almost no interruption of service and you have a backup available in 2 clicks.

  He must just ensure that the 2 vm (original and clone is not started at the same time, otherwise you will create a conflict of @ ip).

  Good luck.
