Hi everbody,
we are using two Open-E DSS V6 so far with iSCSI replication and failover.
As we are using the infrastructure now for more and more applications we think about moving to FC with the...

Hi enealDC,
good hint on the memory, but at the moment of the 4 GB less then 1 GB is used...so I dont think about a bottleneck in this area...?

On jumbos I get a decrease of throughput of about...

Dear Support,

I read in this forum about iSCSI tuning options in advanced settings at Open-E.
As these settings have to be matched with XenServer I am asking if somebody has recommendations /...

Hi there,

does anybody can recommend settings for the DRBD tuning options in Open-E as it is shown at http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/s-throughput-tuning.html?

We have
* 2 x TAROX ParX iSCSI...

Anybody any experiences? Think have to open a case...;)

I disagree with red...escpecially because of the inefficiency of data...
This will not work for
- regular basis backups
- need for differencial / incremental backups
- high amount of VMs / data...

Well...as I have just 3,7 TB total capacity and just 2 TB active in volumes...I should have much less then 3 TB a day...;)

AFP? For what...I always thought since Mac OS X AppleTalk is so what deprecated...why not NFS? Even SMB/CIFS is some kind of better then AFP in my understanding of the protocol

Thats why we've chosen our Windows DC servers. And we have two, and as I read both ping nodes must fail to perform a failover?
I was against switches as I wanted to put the ping node into the iSCSI...

Hi Forum,

some general question on the failover config for iSCSI.

Background:
- 2 Open-E DSS
- 4 NICs each
-- 1 NIC LAN (Management, SMB NAS acccess)
-- 1 NIC replication
-- 2 NICs Storage...

Hi webguyz,

yes we do MPIO on eth2 and 3 and the double make sense for replication, BUT:
- the initial replication is finished
- the replication link on eth1 is a GBit link...so a peak of 80...

The build is 6.0up75.8101.5377 64bit

I attach the images I mean.
The auto-scale you mean is what I already know, but the values seem to be strange.
You can see eth1, eth2 and eth3.
Eth1 is Gigabit Cross-Link for replication
Eth2 and...

Dear *,

I've some issue with the naming / scale units of the network statistics of Open-E.
In my bandwith statistics I have
* title ethX bits/s
* scale maximum at 100M

That would say to me a...

Hi,
I read in a thread here that it might help to tune drbd config for getting better replication performance. I searched through all forums now but didnt get really actual or helpful results.
...

Well, I just learned that too from the open-e guys, but bonding will not help at all.
And it makes completely sense. In bonding mode the source is selecting one path - lets say per session. So if...

Hi *,

I am just trying around with volume replication, sync or async mode, and so on.
So I got all these mails about the state changes when a replication task is stopped or started.
This sounds...
