vSphere 6.5 and UCS B200M4's

$

Hi All,

 

I am working on a deployment involving vSphere 6.5 and Cisco UCS B200M4's. I cannot get the M4's to detect any iSCSI storage adapters and cannot create any software iSCSI adapters. If I provision B200M3's, I see a "MegaRAID SAS SKINNY Controller" storage adapter and can create a a software iSCSI adapter off that. The M4's boot blank from a storage adapter perspective.

 

I downloaded the latest Cisco VMware driver pack from Cisco's website and it tells me to go here "https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/details?downloadGroup=DT-ESXI60-CISCO-FNIC-16028&productId=491" That link talks about FCoE which isn't something this deployment is going to use (just using 10GB iSCSI). Regardless, I try deploying that driver via VUM and the host doesn't detect it as an applicable install and goes into a Compliant mode with VUM.

 

Has anyone deployed 6.5 with UCS B200M4's? Any tips on what driver is needed to get a Storage Adapter to show up? I am trying to do a stateful AutoDeploy install of ESXi to a boot lun...but since I cannot get any storage adapters to detect, the stateful install fails to find the datastore/boot lun. I can get this to work just fine on the M3's, so not sure if its something different on the M4's, missing driver, etc.

Hmm. What can I do to achieve redundant storage because I'd like to be able to take out one or more of the thee but still have my vms online?

vRA 6.2 requests getting stuck in Submitted state

$

I have a vRA 6.2 distributed environment. It was working fine this morning, but then suddenly all requests submitted started getting stuck in the Submitted state.

 

I did some online research but couldn't find this symptom reported anywhere.

 

All vRA/vRO services showed as REGISTERED on the two appliances' VAMI interfaces.

 

I ended up rebooting the two appliances (first the secondary, then the primary, via their VAMI interfaces), and now the environment seems to be working OK. But I've got 14 vRA requests still stuck in the Submitted state.

 

Do any of you happen to know:

 

  1. What does it most likely mean if vRA requests are all getting stuck in the Submitted state?
  2. Is there any way to "kick" a request stuck in the Submitted state to get it processed?

 

Thank you!

Okey, scrap my last post

didnt realize is was DAS expansions, different ball game then.

 

None of these expansions are on the HCL so you can end up with multipathing problems on the d2700, or it can work just fine

I wouldn't go with unsupported hardware in a production environment though

 

Still, you stated these was JBOD expansions. VMware doesn't work with plain JBOD unless you are using vSAN so you need to have an expansion that can create raidgroups/storagepools and hook it up the ESXi'es via an Passthrough HBA

or an JBOD expansion hooked up to a RAID controller in the server (i understand this is the case for the MSA70), this will count as local storage though and can't be shared with other hosts

Thanks for the information

Yes it works the Windows 7 Aero

I think so the VMWare has been errores, but i don't know about this

Previously when don't works in VirtualBox (NOW YES), but months ago why doesn't works the Windows 7 aero in VirtualBox if i already installed the guest additions

You ll need shared storage for vMotion, it seems like your D2700 does that, just verify that you have enough SAS ports to hook up a third host to it.

Your MSA on the other hand can only be hooked up to one of the hosts, then you can use vSphere Replication or VDP and use it as a replication/backup target if you like

So i can have 2 hosts to the d2700 with 2 sas connections to each and have the msa70 be directly raid controlled to one of the hosts in the cluster or is it possible to have the msa70 attached to another esi host that is not in the cluster and be able to setup replication? Or but i dont think this is smart but i have 4 sas ports on the d2700 put 1 sas cable in each host and have one host with 2?

Re: VSAN Streched. - VMs ?

I was just coming here to discuss something very close to this.  We have L2 stretched across the two sites (also running vSAN stretched cluster).  So, If site A goes down, when the VMs boot in site B, they will be on the correct subnet, but let's say that site A's entire rack went down, taking the L3 gateway with it.  Now the VMs in site B have an unreachable gateway.  Would VRRP be a recommended way of handling that?

Si tengo maquinas virtuales creadas con una determinada mainboard y si se ésta se reemplaza afectará a las MV?

Buen día, recientemente hemos reemplazado la mainboard de un servidor Lenovo x3550 m5, enciendo el servidor con el software cargado ESXi 6.0 U2 todo normal hasta ahí, pero al encender la máquina virtual, no termina de cargar los servicios, es una máquina servidor web y no funciona correctamente, quisiera saber si el cambio de mainboard afectó a la máquina virtual y cuál sería el procedimiento para solucionarlo. Agradezco su atención.

Here I am assuming vmhba0:C2:T0:L0 is your local/boot storage ,

 

path "vmhba0:C2:T0:L0" Failed: H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0x5 0x20 0x0. Act:NONE

2017-02-23T14:08:16.307Z cpu2:34366)ScsiDeviceIO: 2369: Cmd(0x412e86932dc0) 0x4d, CmdSN 0x105a from world 34608 to dev


This is not errors but information returned from the SAN /LUNs

 


Here is decoding of this code

 

Host Status [0x0] OK This status is returned when there is no error on the host side. This is when you will see if there is a status for a Device or Plugin. It is also when you will see Valid sense data instead of Possible sense Data.

 

Device Status [0x2] This status is returned when a command fails for a specific reason. When a CHECK CONDITION is received, the ESX storage stack will send out a SCSI command 0x3 (REQUEST SENSE) in order to get the SCSI sense data (Sense Key, Additional Sense Code, ASC Qualifier, and other bits). The sense data is listed after Valid sense data in the order of Sense Key, Additional Sense Code, and ASC Qualifier.

 

Plugin Status [0x0] GOOD No error. (ESXi 5.x / 6.x only)

 

Sense Key [0x5] ILLEGAL REQUEST

 

Additional Sense Data 20/00 INVALID COMMAND OPERATION CODE

 

For Cmd 0x4d scsi command 4d LOG SENSE (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCSI_command )

 

 

 

How to obtain a VMs IP address along with other parameters in PowerCLI

I know it's a strange question, but with all these different new parameters, along with Get-Member, VIProperty and all other kinds of stuff rolling around in my head, I needed to know the answer to something i think is simple.

 

When you export the data from a VM listing in vSphere web client, you can customize what columns you do or don't want; including choices like IP Address and Notes

 

I've gone through all of my notes and I cannot for the life of me find where to request the info for IP Address (IPv4 preferably) 

 

Can someone 'show me the way'?  (That's for alf of us who are old enough to remember Peter Frampton *LOL*)

 

Thanks in advance as always,

Miguel
