• Stretched cluster VSAN with SRM

  Hi Coomunite,

  Stretched cluster VSAN can use replication on Bay?

  Is it for the use of VSANS with MRS?

  Good afternoon, a stretched cluster vSAN is not replication table that can be used with MRS.  He's tense storage which is synchronous and for use in areas without installation at disparate locations.  Thank you, Zach.

• All disks in a single host went from vSAN

  Hello

  I recently had a power cut at home. My 3 node cluster came back OK, but I noticed that the vSAN was missing lots of storage.

  After investigation, it seems that all the disks in a single host have been abandoned (all 4 were operating before the incident).

  I tried to reboot the host, but this has not solved the problems I encounter.

  My file server is unable to turn on because of that, I think it was resynchronize components during the power failure happened.

  Because I have data on these discs (my file server), I hesitate to re - install ESXi on the host or do something with the disks

  I am due to upgrade my version of 3 disc format, but that he was reluctant to do this either at the present time because of my data!

  Environment:

  - vCenter Server Appliance 6.0 U2 (build 3634794)

  -ESXi 6.0 Update 2 (build 3620759) on all hosts

  Please can someone advise on the measures I should then carry out?

  See below for information and some screenshots.

  Thank you

  Metadata health check informs me that the disks have failed, but all 4 disks functioned as expected before the power failure:

  

  Research in the "Virtual SAN health status" column, it shows no health information on disks

  

  Comparison to another host:

  

  The host CAN display the disks on it's HBA, see below:

  

  Update:

  Managed to find the size of the memory heap LSOM and the command 'secret' to increase

  For my own sanity and to keep track of what I did, here's what I did.

  You can see where I had already changed their values before the default.

  

  Edit:

  The command VMWare wanted to keep this secret is in their archives here:

  http://vmware1140.rssing.com/Chan-4263175/all_p2889.html

  I do not understand why VMware wants to keep this command of the community? Currently, I am testing now with the two heapsizes to the maximum configuration. My host is starting

  He typed at the origin:

  Dear Simon,

  I tried:

  vsish EI Setup/config/LSOM/intOpts/heapSize 2047

  to increase the heapsize memory LSOM has allocated,

  then did restart, without success on 192.168.240.55,

  He is still unable to establish the Group of disks with memory error...

  And this has changed to:

  Dear Simon,

  I tried the command you gave me in the SR to increase the

  HEAPSIZE memory LSOM allocated, then did restart.

  without success on 192.168.240.55.

  He is still unable to establish the Group of disks with memory error...

• SRM 5.5 - vSphere replication - error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine. A snapshot operation cannot be performed

  Hi all, we have just run a test DR failover of a couple of virtual machines in our protected our failover site and all site swung perfectly, two virtual machines came online and all applications work well. However when we cam to r-eprotect machines virtual, we get some errors.

  One of the virtual machines seems to have lived the reprotect end process, it is still running, but has not moved to 89% for some time. The virtual machine has a couple of grand (a little less than 2 TB) VMDK. slow progress is just a consequence of the large VMDK?

  More worrisome is the virtual machine which don't reprotect at all. It generates an error whenever I click on the "Restore" button (error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine.) A snapshot operation can not be performed).

  
  Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Andy

  Finally got to the bottom of this. The issue was that reprotect SRM work was trying to dispel any snapshots that were taken on the computer object virtual destination in VMWare, but could not clean snapshots.

  The reason why snapshots would not consolidate was because it was snapshots of temporary VEEAM who in fact any snapshot file listed in the VSAN data store. So when we looked through the browser data store, no snapshot file existed in the virtual computers folder. Trying a manual removal also failed.

  To fix this, we created a snapshot of the virtual machine in the original data center (note is the engine to the bottom of the virtual machine), this effect was to get rid of the 'fade' snapshot that was visible in the Snapshot Manager that VEEAM backup had left behind. Once this had disappeared, the reprotect back to DCA worked perfectly.

• SAN replication vs VMware SRM on?

  Hello

  I wonder when should we choose as VMware SRM on the owner SAN replication method?

  for the moment, I see a plan of the DR site that would be well if my production environment data can be reproduced by the SAN in the DR site.

  Thank you

  SRM is nice, because it gives you a a (wonderful) DR failover button

  Of course, the disadvantage is the cost and the fact that once you have switched, you will need to reconfigure to backspace.

  SAN is generally cheaper (because the assumption is that you should replication stoarge for SRM anyway), but requires scripts on measurement or manually export and import of virtual machines to operate. It's also a bit harder to work around the question if your VLAN don't is not strained between sites and if the INVESTIGATION period.

  If you're used to the script thouhg, it shouldn't be a problem, so your decision simply come sdown to ease of use, cost and skills,

  Personally, I scripted before and would take the same approach again (even if the SRM is a very good tool) - but I think it is different for a lot (more) like not everyone a) the script, b) trusts their scripts.

  Finally, if you pay someone to adapt, it will be easier to understand what is happening with MRS with a bunch of custom scripts and SRM allows 'dummy runs', which scripts cannot do.

  Good luck and post with your final word please.

• To better understand the SRM

  Hello

  We have 2 sites, each site, we have 4 ESX servers and on each site, we have a Clariion CX380 but everything is run by a single Virtual Center. All ESX servers are on the same VC data center. Finally, we have 2 physical sites that we have succeeded in one site.

  I know with the MRS, we need two VCs, one on each site, but we need two data centers in VirtualCenter? Why I ask this question is in fact we use MirrorView/S sync LUNS and we have LUN will concern because we cannot display the mirror and lun mirrored with the same uid when all the ESX servers are managed by a single CR.

  Can RS we manage this for us?

  I hope I'm clear with my problem

  Thank you

  Dominic.

  First of all the current version of MRS. can't a single VC use case, so if the customer doesn't move on this one there then you cannout currently using SRM. It has many disadvantages in terms of DR to use a single VC, so reason why SRM architecture uses two.

  When you have two SRM of the VC can work active / active and by that I mean you can have two production datacenters each replicating to the other, each acting as DR to another in the event of a site loss. SRM supports this configuration.

  From my experience of VMotion between sites with more current VC25/ESX35 never really gives you a lot in terms of use cases since it is really an option for customers which is DC are close together and even in this case you end up with is a virtual machine running on a site that is accessing its virtual disks at the other site not that desirable. Another point here is what to do with this way of working, you should also have areas of SAN that accepts the LUNS are accessible on the sites and also potentially beyond safe limits.

  Granted, I can see some obsucre use cases you want to to be able to vmotion VM on the site but nothing which makes it really interesting architecture this now, ok one day you might want to vmotion all around for the other site while you perform a hardware upgrade of hugh, but there are other ways this round with storage vmotion which give you even without interruption... Go ahead there is much more to come that will make vmotion over distance, a closer integration with the most interesting storage replication.

  When you're right, now I think that the more important thing to establish is that it really your customer wants, is it simply a solution allowing them to run two production DC so they don't have standing kit slowed to a place? If yes then MRS can do for them now in a configuration active / active. I find lots of customes think they must cross the vmotion site without really thinking through and without thinking about the implications for things like vCenter design, such as:

  The VC inventory / layout, be careful with the design, because everything is tense, to be very consistent and accurate with conventions of naming across all objects of inventroy will use the virtual machine

  DRS/HA settings, ensure that you know which VM is important and set the correct settings by VM for recovery. Unless you have N + 1 reserve capacity on each site, you will need to set up the parameters HA/DRS that highlight the most important line of the first VM and not end up in a situation of failure with all your virtual computer online dev/test and half the production of 'Down' of the VM because you have not set the correct priorities in HA. In SRM, it is something that the descriptors of recovery plan and you can control.

  Half brain, if you run the two sites as a big cluster HA/DRS ensure test you different failure scenarios, for example if the DRS (or manual VMotion) moving a bunch of VM is site1 to site2 but no failures that took place at that time there will now be left with contexts of CPU/memory/network of the virtual computer running on hosts to Site2, but accessing their VMDK on site1. This will work but is not always desirable from a perspective of latency (maybe no problem if enough bandwidth) However, what will happen if you suffer now Site1 disk failure, at this point the VM will not crash immediately Site2 and HA will take awhile to achieve those VMS have a problem. Try it and see, if you disconnect the storage for a virtual machine, the virtual machine will cling to life (assuming that IO is normal) for some time before a blue screen appears.

  Presentation of storage, if your customer wants the area sites to actually be 'open' to all ESX hosts, then check that understand you the implications of the ESX LVM parameters with regards instant / will of the disc. You will potentially have ESX hosts that might at one point access to a source and target LUNs at the same time if someone or something to change LVM default settings. As we discussed earlier, with architectures of SRM this is handled by RS as the SRM architecture, you would not have this kind of open area.

  Zoning by-law if the vsan / zones are truly open or guests as well then as certain events of fabric can be a potential pain. No event of thugs this RSCN disrupt both sites at the same time if all ESX hosts are on the same fabric open so be careful here. Not something that is too often but I have seen hurt some customers, usually comes down to bad HBA or cable can be a real pain to track down.

  VC / limits ESX, you build out of campus cluster design ensures the design will you quickly to reach the limits of what she has supported this concerning things like the maximum number of machines virtual/VC, max number of LUNS/ESX host, max number host ESX/lun/paths etc.

• SRM in NetApp

  Hi all, I'm about to SRM configuration in a 3.5 U 3 and V.C. 2.5 environment and I just want to know what I should do to prepare the NetApp SANs FAS3070 and FAS270. I mean the Group configurations, Volumes, aggregates, deduplication, etc... If anyone can point me in the right direction I'll greatly appreciate. The only document that I found was the administration guide, the anyoby has no NetApp documenets that could shed some light on my investigation.

  Thank you

• Investigation of Wal-Mart instead of Internet Explorer

  July 13, 2011 I tried to get INTERNET EXPLORER on my computer so that I would be able to discuss with Time Warner Cable.  I had problems with my computer and IE was one of several Internet sites, they used.  I tried two times to connect, but whenever I tried, I got a survey by Wal-Mart, not my favorite company. They had three offers to complete this rose, which was a credit of $1000.00 at Best Buy.  I thought that WOW, why not.  Try to fill in this questionnaire, I realized it was the same investigation, I had done once before.  These people, a sort of diabetic or medical supply (safe) club would fail at the end of this questionnaire until I gave them permission to call me.  Not wanting to let this happen again, I closed this site and got angry with Microsoft.  It would have been nice to spend $ 1000.00 at Best Buy.  It would also be nice to connect with Time Warner Cable.  Instead, I got involved with a scam, which makes feel me like a fool, I'm not.

  In the future, it would be nice to not deal with this interruption, the next time I try to use INTERNET EXPLORER.  Please tell me how has escaped this problem in the future.  In addition, if an owner Microsoft is around, could they give me credit at Best Buy?  I guess you don 't have to answer this question.
  Thank you.

  Looks like your system of malware infection.

  When you use your browser to go to a place and you end up somewhere else, it is a sign of "browser hijacking".

  This is due to lack of Microsoft it's usually fault someone else to leave their system to be infected by malware, or the fault of your current antivirus/antimalware software that has not failed to protect your system (and probably last).  It does not mean that you are a fool - you just have to take better precautions and jack your skepticism of a few notches when you are on the Internet.

  These problems are very common when you "fall for her" (the plan) and not particularly difficult to solve.

  It is difficult to prescribe the right solution when your system knows nothing, but that's the way they choose to run MS Answers forums.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.   Really, I can't imagine how things could be worse here.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  What you see you don't think you need to see?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

• I updated to XP from SP1 to SP2 and rec'd an investigation re firewall to block xrxfptlt. I can't locate any file containing this sequence

  Original title: what is xrxfptlt?

  I updated to XP from SP1 to SP2 and rec'd an investigation re firewall to block xrxfptlt. I can't locate any file containing this sequence, including any system or hidden files. A search in the registry also has given no result for this combination of letters. Does anyone have an idea?

  Hello

  You are probably referring to xrxftplt.exe. xrxftplt.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files".

  XrxFTPLt.exe file is a Windows core system file. The program is not visible. Start the application at Windows startup (see registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run). Program has no file description. The file is a reliable file from Microsoft. The program uses ports to connect to LAN or Internet. XrxFTPLt.exe is able to connect to the Internet.

  However, some malware camouflage themselves as XrxFTPLt.exe, particularly if they are located in the folder c:\windows or c:\windows\system32. Check the XrxFTPLt.exe process on your computer either on the pest.

  I recommend that you use the Microsoft Safety Scanner to run a full scan on your computer to verify if this is a malicious file.

  Note: You may lose any infected files by eliminating malware.
