VMware vsphere Connectivity Md3200i

VMware vsphere uses Ft,vmotion,ha to use external storage, some simple version can also be used, such as Openfiler free products, but the actual use of professional products are relatively strong, such as Dell's md3200i, Md3200i is not a very good product, now facing the edge of elimination.

The md3200i has two controllers for redundancy, with 4 Gigabit data network interfaces on each controller, a network interface for control, a command-line console interface, and an extended hard drive interface. Is the data NIC interface too much, it is more troublesome. The new EqualLogic PS4100 series has two data interfaces on each controller.

VMware vsphere Continuous md3200i Of course use the iSCSI protocol.

The installation of VMware vsphere is not mentioned here. This example uses the 5.5 version.

First, md3200i.

The new Machine default control network card IP has been configured, the above is 192.168.128.101, the following is 192.168.128.102, in their own PC installed random CD-ROM control software, you can go to the latest Dell website Modular disk Storage Manager Client. Turn your PC's IP into communication, open control software, edit-add storage array, use out-of-band management, fill in the default control card IP address under the RAID control module, and add it to find. In the found array, right-click, manage to store this column.

A new management window appears, and in the settings on the right, select Configure iSCSI host ports.

Configure 8 network card IP addresses, the following enable ICMP response to be selected, you can let VMware detect the state of storage.

Here configuration:

Control 0 Port 0 192.168.100.10/26

Control 0 Port 1 192.168.100.70/26

Control 0 Port 2 192.168.100.130/26

Control 0 Port 3 192.168.100.200/26

Control 1 Port 0 192.168.100.11/26

Control 1 Port 1 192.168.100.71/26

Control 1 Port 2 192.168.100.131/26

Control 1 Port 3 192.168.100.201/26

There is no gateway, originally this communication will speed, if the gateway has a speed it! Do not go with advanced IPv4 settings, in addition to the VLAN is the IP priority of this kind of useless things, will affect the speed of things, how may be in the network storage also run IP priority Ah, you think it is the Internet ah.

These IP configurations are very much related to VMware
