Where should I store my data Which storage systems are reliable and provide a high level of security In this how-to guide you learn about efficient storage monitoring with PRTG. This group until you add the default management gateway.ĭedicated management network is enabled. The default management gateway is not configured. The documentation for the PS6000E is some of the worse I have ever seen. This is for managing the device from a separate network than the iSCSI traffic is on. An alternative is to use the CLI to configure the settings:Ģ) Select the member you'd like to configureģ) Activate the Mangement NIC. The Dell EqualLogic iSCSI SAN supports an out-of-band management network interface. And.rather than me pound my circuit all at once for a few hours a day.I'm gently tapping it all day.I installed a new EQL but didn't want to physically connect into the ISCSI network to configure the management IP addressing. The good thing is I'm not replicating the entire volume.only the changes so it's minimal.
I have been talking to SolarWinds support, and they have suggested Storage Manage Monitor product.
But by the look of it it is probably very tedious process to configure all this for 100+ individual hard disks on SAN.
#HOW TO SETUP EQUALLOGIC SAN HQ SERIES#
The general server network is 192.168.1.X and the san network 192.168.2.X. We have an iSCSI SAN setup with Dells EqualLogic PS series SANs. The server Im attempting to connect from is a virtual machine running on the vmware host. Im attempting to connect to the group ip so I can use SAN HQ to monitor the SAN. Basically, to get a near copy I would have to adjust my replication schedule.the closest it lets you configure is every five minutes. Dell SAN has got its own management SAN HQ environment, but I just though to consolidate everything in SolarWinds. Hi, I have a vmware esxi 5.5 server setup connected to a dell Equallogic 4000 SAN. The Dell EqualLogic Configuration Guide is provided as an aid to help storage administrators determine how best to build an iSCSI infrastructure for use within an EqualLogic SAN solution. I assumed what needed to change and I called Dell/EqualLogic to confirm. directly impact the overall performance of the SAN storage solution. Ok.so I had my volume collections scheduled to replicate every four hours.
#HOW TO SETUP EQUALLOGIC SAN HQ MANUAL#
I explained to my boss because of the way we have replication configured.if we must revert to the data at our DR 's only going to be recent to my last replica that was performed AND there is some manual intervention. It has to be configured and replication times have to be scheduled. Replication doesn't work that way with Equallogic. "We don't want a backup.we want failover", I was told. The EqualLogic Group was running firmware 5.2. BUT.why isn't my replication partner just taking on the data as it changes at the primary site. An alternative is to use the CLI to configure the settings: Resolution: 1) Console to the EQL 2) Select the member youd like to configure dr-eqlgrp01> member select dr-eql0 3) Activate the Mangement NIC. Had an issue recently where we lost connectivity to our switches due to some power problems, the SAN went down, VM's.ugh.it was a messy 30 minutes or so.Īnywho.I was asked.well why didn't our SAN at our DR site pickup and start taking on the load.why didn't the vm's out at the DR site just start working.It's complicated.įor one, we don't have that piece of VMware setup and configured. Scenario: I installed a new EQL but didnt want to physically connect into the ISCSI network to configure the management IP addressing. To do a total wipe and factory reset of a EqualLogic SAN there is a simple two-step process to follow. Currently we have two members at our main site with an array offsite setup as a replication partner. Well I finally have run into a situation that I couldn't explain very well until some research was performed about my EqualLogic SAN.
