So we can see hot-sparing is active and replacing for the failed disk 5_1_7 Multipathing is working really well now that the hosts are in ALUA mode.Naviseccli arrayspa getdisk > h : \ getdisks. ESXi hosts are new HP BL490c blades with the HP/Emulex CNAs in iSCSI mode. Got the FAST suite and Total Protection Pack. Some background for you we got a VNX5300 for Block (2 actually, one for the DR site), using 10Gb iSCSI hooked up to Nexus 5k's in the primary site. We also have yet to configure Replication Manager to get app consistency for SnapView and MirrorView. We were also under the impression (from numerous sources) that ALUA was going to be the default failover mode with the VNX alas this is not the case.īut otherwise I am quite happy, and I haven't even installed the VSI plugins yet. It had to be done with NaviCLI, and the process was apparently less than thoroughly documented (our partner had to muster some support resources to get it done). I must admit to being a bit disappointed that Unisphere does not yet support linking systems into a Domain, which prevented configuring MirrorView via the GUI. Well Chad, our VNX has been up & running for a little over a week now and I must say it is FAST (pun intended)! Anywhere from 6-10x faster than our old array depending on Iometer parameters (though it's not a fair fight, the old one was all SATA).
Remember – there are resources for support ( ) and general info ( ) but if you ever have questions about VMware/EMC together, you can always interact with experts on the Everything VMware at EMC community ( ) – which is monitored and supported by vSpecialists.Įnjoy (and always – follow after the youtube video for high-rez MOV and WMV)ĭownload the high-rez MOV and WMV files….

The posts that are done with integrated demonstrations are quite popular – these are useful for customers, EMC partners, and EMCers themselves.
