Hi!
This is given: two identical systems with 4 CPU-Heads (2core? 4core? don't know yet, but enough), 16 GB of RAM (should be enough) and each with ca netto 6.7 TB of 15krpm-SATA RAID
Both systems have DSS 5.0up60.7102.3511 32bit
On each system, I want to create two iSCSI volumes for use with VMware ESX. Each volume with 3328 GB. Then using replication and iSCSI failover.... but I am stopped wihle creating the volumes...
On the first system, I succeeded without any problem.
On the second system, I could create one volume successfully. But when I try to create the second one, I get an error message, that the Vmalloc was too low, and therefore the replication flag couldn't be enabled. And, right, it isn't enabled. Bad thing, ESX recommends to use File-I/O, and with File-I/O, I can't enable the replication flag subsequently, it must be set when initialization starts.
This behaviour is reproducable: delete the volume, create it again: same error message, no replication flag.
Bad thing: the Vmalloc value on both systems is 348, e.g. identical. I set the value to the highest possible number, but no effect.
Any idea how to debug this? Another case when missing a linux console...
Regards,
Robert
