    Question about using P2V to move a domain controller

    tried this a while back at the request of a customer, spent the folowing night with a Microsoft consultant rebuilding all the AD. wouldn't advise any one to do this as a migration.

    Monitoring EMC CX300

    is there a reason why the CX300 is on the Backup LAN? the IP is purely for management purposes and nothing else. There is no where to put routing information on the clariion unfortunately.

    Monitoring EMC CX300

    yes, go to the monitors tab and select templates, right click it and select "create new template", configure the email portion of the template. it's really pedantic as regards the email address lines, if you want to use more than 1 to or cc address then they must be seperated by a "comma &...

    AIX Hosts need downtime to update CX700 FLARE Code?

    I've run the EMC CPG for a Flare upgrade to see what is says specific to your issue, here's the explanation hope it hels: AIX Servers: • Stop all I/O from any connected AIX server during the NDU process if it is running the native HBA driver. Refer to Primus Solution emc67186 for more...

    configuring multiple targets on an ESX based VM via the MUI

    just a note for future reference, I have had a configuration where a single VM required 33 LUNs (vmdk) to be presented, this is well within the limitations of the VM however we've discovered that it is a limitation of the ESX MUI. if you follow the Admin guide you should be able to add more than...

    Overprotective, friendly and very very bad

    in addition to the above, the rebuild to the hotspare shouldn't take long so it should be back to normal performance within an hour tops (depending on the rebuild priority set for the raid group with the failed) if your cache is disabled it may be wise to check the SP event logs and see if...

    VMware with EMC Clariion

    haven't progressed as my customer isn't ready, however what I'm now being told is since flare 14 you can no longer have the same LUN in more than 1 storage group so it looks like that option is off the table.

    P2V information

    I've recently attended a VMware training course which included P2V, as a product it's simple enough (I'm not a salesman so I can't comment on cost), however the guys running the course said Platespin is in some ways a better product but didn't elaborate. The VMware guys also use Ghost so that...

    VMware with EMC Clariion

    I think I concur, until VMware/EMC say otherwise we'll go with 2 SG's with the same LUN in each. cheers Paul

    SAN Suggestion

    i believe Apple have just released a SAN option which may be worth a look, I am supporting EMC clariion which will handle most of what you are looking for but not too sure on the mac side.

    Dell Powervault 110T SCSI Issues...

    Hi Craig, there lies the problem, the P1000 was only Diff (HVD) or Single Ended. If yours was a Diff library it'll be HVD as will the card that attached to it, you'll need to get a LVD/SE card for the standalone drive (adaptec 39160 works well). if you are in the UK drop me a mail and I'll see...

    VMware with EMC Clariion

    the question is over the storage group setup within navisphere. as we are looking at VMotion we will use 2 ESX servers but both will need access to the same disk, in a standard clustering environment I'd put both Hosts in the same group however this is different in that both hosts will be...
