Seems like in order to install to the HDD you have to boot off the ISO.
I'm installing from a USB thumb-drive that I created using the instructions in the QuickStart.txt found on the ISO.
The version is dss6.0up98_b7337.
The HW is a Dell 2950, RAID1 with two VDs, a...
What is the quantity and type of disk that you are using?
Before you get into testing with ESX, I'd test performance using Ubuntu or another recent Linux distro.
Here is a suitable multipath.conf...
I'd strongly recommend ARECA controllers. The independent, out of band management is really critical.
It just so happens that I'm a reseller lol. Let me know if you want a quote on a 1880!
We had to re-install our DSSv6 and load our backup configuration. When attempting to activate the product online, I get an error "internal error..".
I've tried the manual activation process as well...
What kind of data is on the volumes? If it's VMs, then you can use your hypervisor to snapshot, export then import into the new datastore.
If you are running DSS in HA, you could always try booting...
Check your spanning tree configuration on your ports. Make sure you turn on portfast or if you are using RSTP, that you make your ports edge ports.
You can also adjust the iscsi client timeouts as...
Ahh yes. Go ahead and set it to VPD to 1. You won't loose any functionality or performance.
Hi. I'm almost 100% that the blocksize is 512. The only location where block size can be changed is for FC targets.
Are you sure that is your issue? Can you provide a dmesg output after you've...
Right now Open-E only supports Active Passive HA. So if you want to get the most out of your hardware, you will have a hard decision to make about HA. Do you just use replication between the nodes...
I've always stressed on this forum that performance testing should not be an afterthought. Meaning, you should test the bare metal hardware using a live cd or a light installation of linux.
I...
Is it possible to tell if target is fileio or block io from the log files?
well more specifically, is a fix available today that I can give the customers :)
The problem is that the log file is filling up with these errors:
megasas_register_aen[4]: already registered
Not really turning up anything about this. You said its "already being fixed". What...
regarding a restart - i don't want to restart. is it a way to clear it w/o a restart?
I have a customer that continually runs into this error. The only way to resolve it is to reboot.
I believe they are b5794
Getting a 500 error. Trying to log a ticket. If you guys can resolve, I'd appreciate it.
What does your multipath.conf file look like?
I encourage everyone running XenServer or XCP to run this test. Really insightful.

Thanks. Ticket is opened
Hey. DRBD supports SDP (sockets direct protocol) for IB HCAs. It does require the OFED stack. Does Open-E support this? I know it supports IPoIB.
Thanks
Are you using iSCSI through the virtualization layer? or is iSCSI lun mounted on the hypervisor?
Are you using file or block i/o volumes?
You didn't comment on the number of disks in your Open-E box or the number or RAID type or the controller, etc.
When the time outs occur, does it correspond...
Your mileage will generally vary when adjusting some of the settings. Most of the settings are negotiated with the initiator.
I wouldn't adjust the defaults unless you are attempting to resolve an...
For LAN replication over GBE or better, the defaults and Open-E are already optimized. HOWEVER.. you may not have enough memory. IMO, at least 8GB is a good starting point depending upon your...
