VSA 5.1 storage planning

We plan 5.1 VSA deployment on two servers ML350p Gen8 with two cages of HARD drive: HDD first cage 6 x 600 GB 15K RAID 10 for storage, second cage 6 x 2 TB SAS 7.2 K RAID10 for VM shared cluster VSA and backup.

Here, I have several questions for the deployment of VSA 5.1:

  1. Can use us first cage to HARD drive for storage of shared cluster VSA, second cage of disk for backup and standalone VM?
  2. Install VMware ESXi 5.1 on 5.1 VSA deployment USB flash is a security?
  3. What happens with ESXI VSA cluster host if USB flash goes down? After changing the USB failure it is necessary to reinstall ESXI?

1. If you build a VMFS on the first HARD drive cage, but do not format disks in the 2nd cage, the ASB should only use this cage VMFS 1 for the device. Once AUV is deployed, you can format the second cage as an another VMFS and use it as local. * WARNING - I tried it myself, but I think that's how it should work *.

2. my understanding is that used in making ESXi supported cluster VSA same standard as ESXi host deployment mechanisms. It would be good to check with the technical support, however.

3. There is a procedure of node to replace you need to run after installing ESXi. Refer to the documentation on how to do it.

I invite you to spend some time trials 1 & 3. I do not know 1 will work, but have not tried. Node to replace in article 3 is a proven procedure, but it would be good to be familiar with the steps rather than try them for the first time at 03:00 on Sunday night! ;-)

  • iCloud storage Plan Confusion

    I recently received an email:

    It is a reminder that on 29/03/2016 you will be charged $10.99 for your 20 GB storage plan

    What?

    I currently have a 50 GB for $0.99 per month plan.  I can go down to 5 GB for free, or switch to 200 GB for $2.99 per month.  There is no such thing as a plan of 20 GB.

    Anyone can shed some light?

  • Creative photographers Cloud Storage plan

    I would like to upgrade 4 of Lightroom and Photoshop 5 to plan creative cloud photographers, yet 20 GB of storage is not enough. How can I get more storage and extra how much is?

    I wonder if perhaps you misunderstand what that 20 GB of storage for. It's not not to store your images of masters. It's a way for you to create collections of images you want to share about Lightroom Mobile to allow editing or share it with others. Your main images remain on your local hard drive.

  • VSA configuration and storage before installation of VSA on ESXi

    Is someone can you please remind me how storage should be configured on ESXi until I'll start building VSA?

    VSA is use the local storage of the ESXi hosts.  Should I use local data warehouses already formatted vmfs or raw devices (volumes) and formats?

    Is it true, that, before the installation of VSA, you can no more data VMFS (local) 1 store? If so, this means that VSA will use (use) all available space on the Local data store on the left after installing ESXi (if I'm installing ESXi on local DS as well)?

    Thank you very much!

    VSA manager uses the data store local vmfs to create VSA data warehouses. During the creation of the VSA cluster, you can specify the size of the VSA data store. For example if you have the local data store of 500 GB, you can build cluster VSA using 100 GB of space, so you can have several virtual machines on VSA datastore and a few virtual machines on the local data store. There is an option to extend the VSA data store after creation.

  • VSA 5.5: Storage increase VSA Cluster fails

    Hi all

    I'm new with VMware Virtual Storage Appliance 5.5.

    I installed a Cluster environment only 2 knots with two HP DL 380 Gen 8 with 3 TB of Local storage.

    ESXi hosts are in Version 5.5 and newly installed.

    After the Installation of the two ESXi hosts, I installed the VCenter 5.5 on the Local storage on servers.

    After successful installation and configuration of the new VCenter, I installed the VSA-Manager on the VCenter and perform a brownfield industrial-Installation of the VSA Cluster.

    This works all that very well and once the configuration is successful I migrating the VCenter to the local database of one of the among databases VSA ESXi host.

    Now, I want to increase the storage capacity of Cluster VSA with available space of the database local after the migration of VCenter.

    I now get the following error message:

    ATTENTION: Extension VMDK on VSA - 0 and waited 1 200 seconds for storage to online entities. Please stop i/o to data AUV for the increase in storage warehouses continue

    I'm not able to stop the action of the increased storage capacity.

    Can someone help me with this problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    first: sorry for the late reply.

    Yes, the solution solves the VMware Support.

    Of more the Strorage stopped working, because the jobed wrote the journal in the database and does not illuminate.

    The cancelled Suppprt EIB job remove the log of the database.

    I moved the VCenter in another data store (QNAP), which should initially be used for backups of Veeam.

    After moving it in another data store, the work of increasing the data store has worked well.

  • storage planning

    Hello

    I need to understand who is the underside of planning well for my plan of virtualization.

    I have 3 Dell blades 2 with 64 GB and 1 with 16 GB with dual xeon processor and the storage of 1 TB HDD 10 x.

    What I expect is for virtualization of Exchange 2007 with MBX-2, 1-HUB/CASE, 1 - 1 - DC-2008 Transport.

    As a result, here's the plan

    1 TB + 1 TB - lun mirrored to contain all VM C:\ drive i.e. OS

    1 TB + 1 TB + 1 TB - Raid 5 LUNs to contain all the database VM i.e. D:\ By car

    1 TB + 1 TB + 1 TB - Raid 5 LUNs to contain all the VM connects i.e. E:\ By car

    And 2 HARD drive as a hot spare.

    Well, that would be a nice plan... If you were building a PHYSICAL machine.  There is only 1 RAID card in this area.  So ESX STILL must run all VM through this 1 card.

    Simply put ALL local drives in a RAID 5 (or RAID 6), make 3 or 4 warehouses VMFS data (via virtual disks separated) and go from there.

    disks / pins more = better performance.  So put ALL preparations of VM data across ALL local drives will be better, and you can't make a store of data from more than 2 TB, so DIVIDE the disk space at RAID level in pieces of 2 TB.

  • Storage plan

    How to use storage space additional ipaid for in icloud only used 51 but the rest is untouchable and my phone keeps saying no memory

    Your phone said you that there is not any additional storage space. The storage you paid in iCloud is on the iCloud server, not on the phone: it is not possible to increase the storage capacity of the phone. The only thing you can do is to find some data to remove the phone.

    Because once payment hovering around (the date of the credit card is usually charged) and the current month is finished, it will change.
