I have two PGs, so I need to create two vmkernel ports. Like so:. If your hosts are all the same, you just have to do this once, instead of once per host. Saves A LOT of time. Now analyze the impact. If nothing is being moved from something in use, you should be green. If something is impacted, triple check what is going on. If we go to the host and clusters view in vCenter, click on one of my hosts and then go to Configure, and then vmkernel adapters, we see the new ones:.
But no IPs. Furthermore, my port groups access all of my physical NICs and therefore its vmkernel adapters , but software iSCSI requires that all of the vmkernel adapters only have 1 active NIC and zero standby. So that needs to be changed on the port group. This has two uplinks physical NICs. Move all but one down to unused. Each port group should have its own active uplink. Do the same for your environment, ensuring each port group intended for iSCSI uses just one uplink and it is uniquely used by that port group in other words, it is not set to active for another port group also intended for iSCSI.
PostgreSQL is one of the most popular databases. Protecting the data in it with CrystalDiskMark is a tool for benchmarking the performance of storage devices and issues with MariaDB is an open source relational database management system.
This article shows how to MySQL is one of the most popular relational databases. MariaDB is a fork from I can only use the standard vmware switch because I have the Essential Plus License. If I usedmultiple subnet, i need to use the Vlan because in the two HP Switch there is also the normal traffic of the VMs and the other clients of the network with IP So if you do only use one subnet, you can use that guide you originally posted, however instead of creating multiple switches and binding them to the same NICs, I would instead create only one, configure your VLAN, and then create multiple vmkernal vmk interfaces on that single switch each with their own IP on the network.
Keep in mind, that if you were to use both switches with different subnets , then you would have added redundancy to your configuration in case one of the switches ever failed. This is just a consideration. Hi, finally the MSA is arrived in my lab. That should work great. When you created the Vdisks, did you choose auto for owning controller?
If not, I would advise to change it. I have chose Vdisk1 — controller A vdisk2 — controller B. Now I have manual select Controller A and controller B.
Tomorrow change the ownership to Auto. I understand that I should not do port binding in this case. But I wanted to confirm if that this case holds true if your host has 4 nics for iscsi. I was looking at putting vmnic7 and vmnic6 on subnet Would you do portbinding on the nics with in the same subnet? Make sure that pair of NICs that are on a single subnet are configured on their own vSwitch or Distributed switch.
Just curious, how do you have everything wired? Do you have seperate physical switches? To confirm, the host is directly attached to the SAN? I would still like the answer to my question though so I know it is done correctly. I have 1 host currently, but I will have 3 eventually after testing is complete. The SAN has 2 ports from controller 1 connected to storage switch 1 and 2 connected to storage switch 2. I then connected 2 from conroller2, to storage switch1, and 2 from controller 2, to storage switch 2.
Hello, great article. Where can the problem be? First and foremost, on the array itself, have you configured all the cache settings and everything? Also, is it using any of the VMWare accelerated features? The new setup gave me perfect write speeds but half read speeds. Just one question, to disable it is it enough to remove the 2 vmk ports from the network tab of the iscsi initiator on both hosts? Do I need to reboot the hosts? Most important, my array is using Block IO, not virtual disk.
You mentioned you have jumbo frames enabled on the hosts, are jumbo frames also enabled on the NAS as well? One more question. I have no port trunking on the qnap nor on the switch and on the vmware i have only one vswitch with 2 nics, but the 2 vmk adapters are using vmnic1 vmnic6 unused and vmnic6 vmnic1 unused rispectively. The answer shoul be no, i hope. I cant really understand why is perfect but one way only…:. My interest is now pointing towards the fact you only have 1 vSwitch… Do you have multiple separate port groups under the vSwitch for each NIC?
Just for the sake of troubleshooting, it might be worthwhile removing that vSwitch, and creating two separate vSwitches and dedicate one to each subnet… If this helps the situation, it confirms the configuration of the single vSwitch was wrong, and you could either keep 2 vSwitches, or create a new single vSwitch with the proper configuration….
Sure I have 2 separate port groups. Do you think that creating a second vSwitch may really help, as I demonstrated the write speeds are real? I still have concerns about the iSCSI port binding. For the heck of it, delete the vSwitches, and create two separate ones from scratch, each dedicated to a subnet for testing. Many thanks again.
