VM of Cluster on the NAS storage

Hello

Anyone who has created a cluster virtual machines on ESX3i with NAS storage MS.

I have a configuration with SCSI storage works perfectly when two VMS are grouped using MSCS. However, it does not work with storage NAS (open file server).

Thank you

Welcome to the forums - it is not possible to use the NAS/NFS for a VM Cluster on hosts - a VM cluster on hosts requires the use of RDMs supportΘes only on VMFS warehouses of data residing on a SAN LUN

  • Access NAS storage of ESXi Server using VMKernel Port?

    Hello

    I would like to know the best procedure to connect to the NAS storage of ESXi host 5. I am able to connect to the NAS storage according to the screenshots listed in the link below.

    http://www.tintri.com/blog/2011/11/connecting-vSphere-to-NFS-the-easy-way/

    But, I saw different configurations in the past where port dedicated VMkernel is assigned to NAS and all storage goes into network 10 G. I try to do the same and created a VMkernel for NAS port. But I don't think that traffic is going over there as it is not used at all.

    I gave the IP address of the ESXi server on the NAS box to get access. I couldn't give address IP VMkernel sideways NAS. How can I make use of this IP VMKernel dedicated NFS storage?

    I want to implement the best way to pass NAS 10 G network traffic. In addition, How can I test if storage traffic crosses VMkernel port?

    Suggestions needed.

    Virtualinfra is right that you must use a different subnet for NFS traffic. You masked the IP range, so I don't see what you use, but make sure that the vmkernel and storage using a single subnet, not the management subnet. If you get an error, your use of a subnet that goes out the default gateway of the management port, or that you are using the same subnet.

    I wrote a few articles on the use of NFS with vSphere: http://wahlnetwork.com/2012/04/19/nfs-on-vsphere-a-few-misconceptions/

    Also, make sure that the vmnic can route traffic on that subnet, as in the case of the use of VLANs.

  • Use the case of the Cluster data without DRS storage store?

    Can someone tell me please the use case of the Cluster data without DRS storage store?

    Virtually no,.

    The only one that is useful is the aggregation of resources of data warehouses in a cluster data store. But it is aggregation of resources in its crudest form. When you create a virtual machine and the use of a cluster as the destination data store, you must always select the data store that will store the virtual machine.

    Storage DRS off =

    No calculation of initial investment

    No space load balancing

    No I/O load balancing

    No rule affinity VMDK

    No maintenance mode

    For this purpose a group of data without active DRS storage store is a kind of a data store folder.

  • Lightroom loses the files on a network (NAS) storage disk

    I use Lightroom 5.7 on a PC under Windows 7 64-bit.

    A couple of weeks, I've installed a network (NAS) storage system as I was running out of HDD space.  I created a logical drive on the NAS for the Photos.  In Lightroom, I dragged photo on the new drive files.  Backup and catalogue files remained on the internal hard drive.

    My photos are arranged in chronological order, in directories (years) and its subdirectories (days, named using the format "2014_12_31").

    Since files on the NAS, Lightroom has been giving me some error messages in the develop module, that it cannot find the files.  Previews discovers very well in the library module, and the files are still there when I look for them in Windows Explorer.  The errors do not occur in the directories subdirectories integers (years) (days) - only some files in the respective subdirectories are affected.  And only the files of 2015 seem to have the problem.  And, when I drag the directories back on my internal hard drive (again, within Lightroom), the errors disappear and everything works fine.

    See the instructions on how to connect back to Lightroom for NAS: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  • Change the Cluster File System-> ASM storage mechanism? Options?

    Currently I have set up RAC 11g to the following address:

    * cluster of 11g two knots on Red Hat Linux 64-bit on Oracle VM Server 2.1.2 E5
    * a node 11g in Oracle VM used for NFS share for the two nodes of Oracle on Red Hat Linux E5 64bits

    Could I take a node 11g in Oracle VM and reinstalling Red Hat Linux and allows to create ASM storage? and how could it be shared for two other nodes? Thank you

    Hello

    Ricardo brings a good point. I understand that you currently have an HR / node Oracle VM running as a server NFS, NFS to provide storage for RAC database.

    Given that you have no support for your system - because it's a test system - and you have your 2 node RAC running on the same physical machine (same Oracle VM host), then you can use the local storage of the physical server as a base for ASM. If there are not enough local storage on your system, this could be a problem. In all cases, instances of ASM should run in the Oracle VM hosting the RAC instances.

    Please, take a look at the updated recently in the CANTON "[Oracle Real Application Clusters environments Oracle VM |]» http://www.Oracle.com/technology/products/database/Clusterware/PDF/oracle_rac_in_oracle_vm_environments.PDF] ", which has a section on the storage configuration update.

    Thank you for choosing Oracle VM on VMware!

    Hope that helps. Thank you

  • SAS storage attached to the FC NAS storage

    Hello

    I am designing a solution of BC/DR with VMware SRM using vSphere replication. Our ESXi 5.5 site production servers are SAS attached to storage, while our ESXi 5.5 DR site servers are FC attached storage. I wonder if it is a supported configuration, attached to the attached FC SAS?

    Thank you...

    Exactly. It is one of the main advantages of vSphere replication. It is based on the host to the underlying storage is not serious.

  • Firefox update prevents access to the NAS web page

    Firefox is the likely cause of the web administration of a Buffalo Linkstation Live 1 TB network attached page being inaccessible storage device.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    is every attempt to open the NAS web administration page after that Firefox updated to level to 3.6.6

    With some effort, this has been resolved. and it is the browser of the cause.

    Test with configuration as a result of security changes made no difference to the outcome of the error reported. It took uninstalling internet security suite to expose Firefox as being the cause. The default settings have been the "use system settings" option in the tools/options/advanced/network Panel. I never had the opportunity to change something in this space, because I started using Firefox, and when I installed the Sep 09 NAS, access via FF using the ip_address was the norm.

    However, when you attempt to connect using FF to the security suite 'not there' a proxy not responding error occurred, which was the point on the cause. The FF network Commission review, a manual selection of the proxy server and if no proxy for local connections was the required patch. He continued to work after security suite has been reinstalled. A jpg of this working configuration image is attached.

    In the last 6 months FF suffered a number of updates. One of those - most likely 3.6.4 or 3.6.6 - changed something in FF mode of local network connection management. In which case the same ip addresses in the address bar previously authorized were no longer allowed - all without talking to the user in the update until the condition occurred in operations.

    This is the second time a mozilla product did that for me, on the automatic update, and I'm upset that a good product may be contaminated by defects of design and testing in this way. Updates automatic for FF and TBird are off my calendar. If the effects of the end of a change are not complete and explained in detail - I don't use it. the pain of the errors that it is caused is considerable.

    The volumes that make up the container are not easy to manage in this way.  He's going to distribute the space between the members according to their relative sizes.  You cannot select to be used.  The 6510E is so much more of the greater part of the reserve will be on the 6510.

  • Why my PC keep forgetting passwords network and lies on the use of the correct connection to the NAS?

    My PC Windows 7 has acted weird lately because whenever I login to Windows and try to access my NAS drive or laptop, he asks the user name and password, even though I chose to remember it.

    The bit about the lie in question is on the NAS drive.

    The NAS drive is an Apple TimeCapsule (shock, I know), but it still works as a NAS device perfect. When I try to open it, it asks username and password as usual, but when I type in it properly, it appears saying that it is incorrect.
    The way I managed to get that player is now of type a random fake user and try to connect, for example comments. It says that I can not log in as a guest so I then type the correct user name and password after and it works...

    If for any reason any Windows is lying to me about the use of the wrong username and password. Also, I tried it on another PC and it works fine so it only affects this PC.

    Someone at - it solutions?

    Hi themichaelkc,

    I suggest you open the credentials manager and see if your saved credentials are correct.

    In addition, remove the passwords stored in the vault and re - enter the user name and password for automatic logon.

    See the following article for more information on the storage of passwords, certificates, and other credentials for automatic logon:.

  • Unable to connect to the NAS network via a wired connection?

    Hi all

    I have 2 network NAS. They are both a Bay D-Link ShareCenter 2. One is full of media I use for streaming and the other is used to keep backups of my computers and some software. Both of the NAS are configured in RAID mirror. They both worked fine when I got them almost a year ago, they are mapped to letters pilot Y and Z. 2 days when I logged my office a popup notification came to say.
    "cannot reconnect to all network drives, click here to check the status of your network drives."
    so I checked it status and he said they were offline. I restarted my computer and both the NAS, but it made no difference. Then I tried to disconnect the drives, but when I try to reconnect to them I get this error;
    "Windows cannot access \\192.168.0.32\Volume_1\Joe, check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there could be a problem with your network. In an attempt to identify and solve network problems, click on diagnose. »
    When I click to diagnose it is unable to find a default.
    The next thing I did was disable my Ethernet card and connect to my network with my WiFi adapter. Then I tried to re - map the NAS is connected via the wireless. This time he allowed me to map them and they seem to work as usual via the wireless connection, but it is rather slow on the wireless.
    Then I disconnected my WiFi connection and reactivated my Ethernet card. When I tried to open the NAS I get this error message;

    "An error occurred while reconnecting Z: to \\192.168.0.32\Volume_1\Joe, Microsoft Windows network: the local device name is already in use." This connection has not been restored. »

    A friend told me that this error was because the drive letter is used by a USB storage device or remembered from a previous session, and to remedy, I should run these 2 commands CMD;
    NET use * / Delete Yes
    NET use / persistent: no
    After you run the two orders, nothing has been changed still the same problem. I also I have no USB storage device so it may be that.
    The next thing I tried was to ping both the NAS, I did this on Ethernet and WiFi connections, and both times I return a normal response both to the NAS.
    I defrosted then to restore an image from my Office I made around a week ago and I know that I don't have this problem at the time. The image I did was with Acronis. When I started on the CD of Acronis support, I discovered that Acronis software could connect both the NAS on my desktop Ethernet. After restoring I still have the same problem.
    Now, there's 1 thing I noticed, my laptop can still connect to both WiFi and Ethernet NAS with all the problems. I also have an android phone, and who can connect both of the NAS via a WiFi connection.
    1 last thing you to know is I can always get to the configuration of the NAS so pages I visit it local address in a web browser. I also ran a factory reset both the NAS and then re-applied my own settings. This does not solve the problem, and more that turning March my routers.
    Please can someone help me solve this problem. I'm running a Windows 8 Pro 64 Bit operating system. If you need more information on my system spec or how I have my setup of home network please let me know.
    Thank you Joe.

    This problem has now been fixed.

    For some reason any my AVG firewall had defrosted on its own to block access to the features as well as to define its self to disable the file and printer sharing of files on the NAS share.
    So a small trick to my firewall and everything works as it should.
    Thank you Joe.
  • Migration of all the catalog items to a different data store in the same storage profiles

    Hello

    is any possibility to migrate everything in the catalog (time and iso files) to a different data store that has the same profile (Silver) storage group?  Because I have 2 groups of data store with the same profile of storage (Silver) and I want to delete one of this cluster.

    I found this kb: http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2058094 but it speaks solely of media files of migration between different storage profiles.

    Have vCD 5.6.4

    You happen to use rapid Provisioning?  This is probably the only problem I can think of.

    Environments that have no linked Clones or shadows created from them, you can just Storage vMotion them between the same storage policy data warehouses.  Just make sure that the data store or a store of data clusters are visible in vCloud Director first of all in the framework of this storage policy.

    When you use linked clones, I don't remember the exact process... I think that I have in my office somewhere (I'm at home now).

  • How can I migrate an ESXi host since a vDS in a vSwitch with NAS storage on vDS

    I need to move some on a vDS esxi hosts to a standard vSwitch to move a new vCenter ESXi hosts

    I have two 10 GB network adapters that manage the ports VM, NAS storage and vmotion.

    Is there a documented procedure to move a vDS in a vSwitch, particularly for migration from NAS storage to a vSwitch?

    Thank you

    Tom

    No, you will need to do this on a per-host basis.

    I really recommend doing one by one, not in a hurry and checking all the networking before you proceed to the next step. Example: after migrating the vmkernel interfaces, check on a ssh connection to the host if it can vmkping the NAS. Before you move all the virtual machines on the host to the switch std, move one and check if the VM networking continues to function. This will prevent errors and downtime.

  • Problem migrating Vcenter server from the old cluster to the new cluster?

    Hey guys,.

    Just came across this situation, and I don't know what to do. I pass my vcenter server older glomerulus with hosts of esx4.0, to a more recent cluster with hosts of esxi4.1. The material of host machines are different generations, and vmotion don't migrate vcenter because of the cpu sets between cluster mismatch. If I could turn off the virtual machine and migrate it would work, but since it's my vcenter Server I can't do.

    Should I restore it on the new cluster?

    Thanks for the suggestions/tips

    Kevin

    Connect directly to the ESX host using your client vsphere, vCenter vm shutdown, vCenter remove inventory, then go to the new host, browse the data store on the vCenter vm is, and add the vCenter Server inventory.

    This assumes that the same storage is presented to both hosts.  If this isn't the case, you will need to use winscp or something similar to copy the files from the virtual machine.

  • The MSCS storage configuration

    Hi all

    I would like to create a virtual cluster using MSCS on Windows 2008 R2 to run SQL. I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around the configuration storage room. I would like to have a 2 cluster nodes with each cluster running on a different node.

    We use CF to the EMC CX Clarrion-340. I understand that I must use RDM disks.

    When I create a physical cluster, I create a LUN of ladd and storage on the SAN for the cluster group. I then to the area of everything and he my storage can be added to the cluster.

    How well it works with virtual machines? It is not as if they have cards CF connecting to SAN. So, how access to the SAN storage?

    Maybe I'm on that thought.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Kind regards

    Dean

    Dean, present you LUNS to the ESX host only, in the same way you present LUNS to storage data VMFS. Next, you will add these LUNS to your nodes in cluster as RDM disks. Once you have done your esx servers will create mapping files that take the first virtual machine to LUN IO, all consecutive IOs will be sent directly from VM to LUN by your ESX HBAS. I recommend checking your storage against the hardware compatibility list for Vmware for the support of MS Failover cluster in this configuration, but it could still work well without be supported by vmware.
