We don't use Replication at the moment, but in this case you have to use 3 10 Gbe NICS with 6 10 GBe ports to follow your logic. 2 Ports for MPIO, 2 for bonding and 2 for Replication....In times of...

So that means you have to use two dual 10 Gig NICs and 4 10 Gig Ports on 10 Gig Switches at minimum if you want to use Open-E in a unified redundant NAS and SAN configuration based on 10 Gig ? We...
We would like to use Open-E both for iSCSI and SMB on the same Host with different Volume Groups. For iSCSI we want to use IP Addresses outside the standard network range and in an own VLAN, which is...
I am talking about the whole MegaRAID Line, like the MegaRAID 924x, 926x, 927x and 928x RAID Controllers. The new driver MR 5.6 (Linux Version 6.506.00.00-2) is out from Mar 02, 2013 and replacing...
Just one hint for LSI Megaraid owners: Donīt upgrade your card to the 5.6 Firmware ! It is not compatible at the moment with Open-E Version 7.0up07.xxxx.7356 2013-02-15 b7356 and earlier. The volumes...
We tried this but were not able to get some useful information's out of our Samsung SSDs connected to a LSI RAID controller with it...Did somebody manage to read out these values to get some early...
Thanks for this information. We have had some similar steps in mind to restore this setting to a new server. Did you mean by "recreate your VG" the configuration within the RAID controller software...
The idea was just to rebuild an Active-Active Open-E System when one of the servers has to be replaced. This should be done at best without stopping the degraded Failover state. We are running nearly...
We tried to figure out a way to restore a degraded A-A Cluster without shutting the cluster down (or at least with minimum downtime). We want to use the A-A Cluster as a kind of RAID 10 between two...
We tested V7 with ESXi 5.1 very intense the last weeks and did not have this problem. We use VMXNET3 nics which we would strongly recommend for VMs because of stability and performance. We also had...
If you check the replication feature on the volume group it cost you nearly 2/3 of the performance compared to a VG without this checked. This is especially the case for IOPS. This happens regardless...
Applied this update already but wanted to know how to use it....(s.a.)
Just saw that the Smartmontools and the LSI Smart API is part of the Open-E package. We need to monitor the health of our SSDīs on a LSI Megaraid Controller with these Smartmontools and the necessary...
We have the same problem here with DDS V6 und ESXi 5. Especially removing snapshots takes endless time. I don't think that the iSCSI handling differs with the DDS V7 version so this problem might...
Can somebody explain the difference between DSS V7 active-active as a Vsphere Appliance vs. VSphere 5.1 Storage Appliance included now in VSphere Essentials Plus 5.1 ? At a first look is seems to be...
What does the limitation in DSS Lite to only one CPU mean ? Is it one physical CPU or one core ?
Although this is a little bit old I would like to answer this in case anyone needs to know. Itīs no problem to mix SAS and SAN on the Areca Controller, although I would prefer to do this on separate...
