Hi, WARNING: Long post ahead I have an issue when starting multipathd. The kernel complains about "blk_cloned_rq_check_limits: over max segments limit". The server in question is configured for KVM hosting. It boots via iBFT to an iSCSI volume. Target is COMSTAR and underlying that is a ZFS volume (100GB). The server also has two infiniband cards providing four (4) more paths over SRP

Hi all, I've been trying out Gluster Platform, so some info will be from the management interface. If additional data from logs is required, please let me know which logfiles. When using a Gluster NFS volume as a ESXi datastore, creation of a disk file (vmdk) takes a considerable amount of time (with unfsd using 10-50% cpu) and then crashes unfsd. A reboot of the system seems necessary to

Hi, I have a zfs volume that''s exported via iscsi for my wife''s Mac to use for Time Machine. I''ve just built a new machine to house my "big" pool, and installed build 129 on it. I''d like to start using COMSTAR for exporting the iscsi targets, rather than the older iscsi infrastructure. I''ve seen quite a few tutorials on how to use

The earlier post with the Dtrace probes definition (sent on April 23) was only to solicit feedback from all prospective users of iSCSI DTrace probes. I will follow up shortly with an updated document requesting approval from the community. thanks Priya -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Dtrace provider for the COMSTAR iscsi Target Port Provider - Review Request Date: Thu, 23 Apr

I apologize if this has been covered before. I have not seen a blow-by-blow installation guide for Ubuntu onto an iSCSI target. The install guides I have seen assume that you can make a target visible to all, which is a problem if you want multiple iSCSI installations on the same COMSTAR target. During install Ubuntu generates three random initiators and you have to deal with them to get things

I have added a specification of probes for the fibre channel COMSTAR port provider to the DTrace section of wikis.sun.com. The proposal may be found here: http://wikis.sun.com/display/DTrace/fibre+channel+Provider I welcome feedback regarding this proposal. Thanks, Sam

The iscsit_dtrace_draftv5.txt describes the Dtrace probes definition for the COMSTAR iSCSI target port provider. For all those interested in iSCSI, please take a look and send me your feedback/questions/suggestions etc by Thursday, April 20, 2009 thanks Priya -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...

Hi all, Using "old" way of sharing volumes over iscsi in zfs (zfs set shareiscsi=on) i can see i/o stats per iscsi volume running a command iscsitadm show stats -I 1 volume. However i couldn''t find something similar in new framework,comstar. Probably i''m missing something, so if anyone has some tips please share it :) Thanks in advance, Bruno -------------- next part

Hi, Nexenta CP and NexentaStor has integrated COMSTAR with ZFS, which provides 2-3x performance gain over userland SCSI target daemon. I;ve blogged in more detail at http://www.gulecha.org/2009/03/03/nexenta-iscsi-with-comstarzfs-integration/ Cheers, Anil http://www.gulecha.org

I would like to request approval of the the DTrace proposal for the COMSTAR iSCSI target port provider. I have updated the specification of the iscsi provider at http://wikis.sun.com/display/DTrace/iscsi+Provider. Your feedback is appreciated. thanks Priya -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed... Name: iscsit_dtrace_draftv8.txt URL:

Thanks a ton for the reply Matthias. I am little confused here. How to add volume on my esx server using virsh? I did SCP and copied my vmdk image to [datastore1] testNode/cluster.vmdk and also modified my xml file as you suggested. Now when I tried starting the node it gave me an error message saying: "error: Failed to start testNode error: internal error: Could not start domain:

Hi, Today I was trying to start a node using libvirt on ESX (esxi-5.1) hypervisor and I got the following error message: *virsh # define /local/myNode/esxdomain.xml* *Domain testNode defined from /local/myNode/esxdomain.xml* *virsh # start testNode* *error: Failed to start domain testNode* *error: internal error: Could not start domain: GenericVmConfigFault - Cannot open the disk

All, We are in the process of determining a virtualized infrastructure and wanted to hear from current users of Gluster and VMWare. What we were looking to setup was an HA ESXi cluster (2 heads) with gluster backend (4 bricks to start, replicated/distributed), all backend connectivity would be 10Gbe. Mainly the storage would be for VM images but may include NAS files later. So our

Hi, Is virsh able to access the VMX config of a virtual machine running on a esxi host? I would like to take backups of my virtual machine configs and the doku section "Converting from VMware VMX config to domain XML config" (http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html) comes close to this - but does not tell how to get access to the vmx file. I would prefer a solution where ssh access to the

virt-v2v is capable of accessing ESXi hypervisors now. There is only one remaining use of this tool - when converting from Xen hypervisors over ssh which are using host block devices for storage. --- v2v/virt-v2v-copy-to-local.pod | 27 ++------------------------- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/virt-v2v-copy-to-local.pod b/v2v/virt-v2v-copy-to-local.pod index

Dear Jatin, Maybe it’s a good idea first to implement Spice: <video> <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' heads='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video>

I have 2 APC UPS systems, one is connected to my ESXi host and the other to my FreeNAS. The battery for the FreeNAS will run out before the battery for the ESXi, so I need ESXi to shutdown first. If I wait until BatteryLow on ESXI, it will be too late as FreeNAS will have already shutdown. How can I change the configuration on ESXI to shutdown after a small delay so that it is done before
