Your ESXi host should now show up as a host on the VNX where you can add it to a storage group and assign LUNs.Ģ008 R2 (8) Active Directory (4) ActiveSync (2) AX4-5i (1) Backup Exec 2012 (1) Certification (1) Checkpoint (5) CIFS (1) Cisco (10) Cluster (5) Cluster Shared Volume (1) CSV (3) Data Insight (1) Data Loss Prevention (1) DataDomain (2) Dell (1) DLP (1) DNS (1) DPM (2) EMC (5) ESX (5) ESXi (3) EVA (3) Exchange 2010 (9) Expand (1) FAS2040 (1) Firewall (8) FortiAP (1) Fortigate (12) GoDaddy (1) Group Policy (1) h323 (1) HP (7) Hyper-V (11) ISA 2006 (2) iSCSI (3) Jumbo (1) KMS (1) local.Refer to the vendor documentation.
SSH into your ESXi host and navigate to /opt/brocade/bin/ by entering cd /opt/brocade/bin/.Now we need to configure the HBA for direct connection, or more technically, FC-AL mode another hosts connected same as the rebooted host will be relogin on SAN.
#BROCADE SAN SWITCH ESXI DRIVER DRIVER#
My issue: Whenever one of the hosts on any chassis reboot và boot driver FC HBA (installed ESXi 5).
#BROCADE SAN SWITCH ESXI DRIVER INSTALL#
You need to install at least the v3.1 I include the steps for the sake of completeness Since this HBA is not on the ESXi 5.1 HCL we need to install the driver. There are various OS specific ways to do it, easiest is probably to download the livecd from Brocade.
#BROCADE SAN SWITCH ESXI DRIVER UPGRADE#
The Fixįirst we need to upgrade the HBA firmware to version 3.1. Setting is on HBA driver layer, so it is global for the host. T10 DIF feature can be disabled on a host. To disable port n on a Brocade switch, run: portdisable n. This tells us that things are fine on a physical layer, but not much else is happening higher up the stack. When you disable the FC switch port of the host HBA port that counts most errors, problem is stopping immediately. SP UID: 50:06:01:60:BE:A0:72:F9:50:06:01:61:3E:A0:72:F9 The Emulex 32 Gb LPe32000/LPe32002 1-port and 2-port Fibre Channel host bus adapters (FC HBAs) for ThinkSystem servers are an ideal solution when requiring high-speed data transfer in storage connectivity for virtualized environments, data backup, and mission-critical applications. Running NaviSECCli.exe -Address 172.20.10.27 port -list –sfpstate outputs the following: EV_TargetMapEntry::GetHostInitiatorPort() - NULL HBAPort pointer.EV_VirtualArrayFeature::_mergeInternalObjects() - No parent for HBA,.When directly connecting the HBA’s to the VNX fiber ports the following events pop up in the SP event logs I’m documenting the symptoms here as well, so that the next person does not have to battle for two days. Only problem was that they didn’t work when directly connected to the front-end ports on the VNX. The order we placed with Dell specified Emulex 12000 HBA’s, but Dell got creative and shipped Brocade 815’s instead. I’m busy with a project which involves getting two ESXi hosts hooked up to a VNX5300 configured in block mode.
