RE: P2V w/ Windows 2008 x64
Replying to my own post for the sake of others. So far none of the p2v plugins I have came across have support for Win2008x64. ESX doesn't update the scsi drivers, so the inbox lsi_scsi.sys is all you need. Problem is it probably doesn't have a start type of 0 (boot). Boot from bartpe or whatever you use, run regedit, load the hive on the vm, change it in the services key. It already has a critical device db entry. jlc From: Joseph L.

RE: NetApp SAN For Virtualisation
I'm building our VMWare environment on NetApp right now. Just about the time I was getting into the testing and configuration of our ESX servers, I originally planned to use iSCSI on NetApp as the backend but stumbled across a TON of info regarding NFS. I grabbed a temp NFS key from our provider and started provisioning some NFS volumes to mount up on our ESX servers. http://storagefoo.blogspot.com/2007/09/vmware-over-nfs.html http://blog.scottlowe.org/2008/01/14/proving-vmware-over-nfs/ http://blogs.netapp.com/dave/2007/10/is-nfs-a-form-o.html The first link above is pretty telling. It explains a good deal of the WINS you'll get by using NFS over iSCSI. Performance was exemplary. I couldn't notice any discernible difference between booting an application server from a NFS volume or iSCSI volume. With ASIS I was able to clone 5 x 20GB windows 2003 servers with just an OS on them and dedup them down from 100GB of used space to about 6GB total across all 5. On iSCSI, it started to cause me some problems with slow boot, LONG nightly processing of ASIS, stuff like that. All 5 servers operated and behaved normally running from the ASIS-ed volume. Gotchas: 1) iSCSI isn't supported with jumbo frames from VMWare unless you're using an iscsi HBA. 2) VMWare recommended I turn off flowcontrol on my switches. 3) I was told not to put the vmkernel for iscsi and nfs on the same vlan/nic. 4) Exchange and SQL still need block level access to the storage. One of the vendors stated that we can mount up an iSCSI volume right to the ESX host and carve storage off that way for Exchange..another said we have to use RDMs to the client VMs for it. I haven't tested yet so the jury is out there. 5) Not necessarily a gotcha but something to keep in mind when deciding: My vendor that sold me my netapp recommends that when provisioning an iSCSI LUN, make the total volume 220% of the total space of the LUNS it holds. So, 100GB LUN needs 220GB of volume space. This is for snapshotting and other overheads.

DNS records not updating when DHCP IP is assigned
I have a problem. I think. I may be going mad. I've got a windows 2003 64 bit server. Its the sole server on the network. It's acting as the DHCP server for the network as well as internal DNS. The problem is that when the DHCP hands out a new IP to a client machine it doesn't always record it in the DNS. It seems to some times, but similarly sometimes it doesn't seem to update any existing A records. It does seem fine if we add a new machine however, so creating a new A record seems to be unaffected. As we have a large number of laptop users, and a large number of freelancers, we have a lot of moving around, coming and going. As a result, if we pluck a machine name out of the air at the moment, and ping that machine, the IP that the machine name resolves to is inevitably the wrong one. The same if we do a reverse DNS lookup against the IP, typically it gets resolved to the wrong machine name. Now the DHCP scope on the server *IS* set to create A records when a new IP is dished out, as well as to delete existing A records when a lease expires. We haven't got this issue at other sites, in fact this is the first time I have seen anything quite so significant. Anyone seen this before or know what may be the issue ?

DNS records not updating when DHCP IP is assigned
I have a problem. I think. I may be going mad. I've got a windows 2003 64 bit server. Its the sole server on the network. It's acting as the DHCP server for the network as well as internal DNS. The problem is that when the DHCP hands out a new IP to a client machine it doesn't always record it in the DNS. It seems to some times, but similarly sometimes it doesn't seem to update any existing A records. It does seem fine if we add a new machine however, so creating a new A record seems to be unaffected. As we have a large number of laptop users, and a large number of freelancers, we have a lot of moving around, coming and going. As a result, if we pluck a machine name out of the air at the moment, and ping that machine, the IP that the machine name resolves to is inevitably the wrong one. The same if we do a reverse DNS lookup against the IP, typically it gets resolved to the wrong machine name. Now the DHCP scope on the server *IS* set to create A records when a new IP is dished out, as well as to delete existing A records when a lease expires. We haven't got this issue at other sites, in fact this is the first time I have seen anything quite so significant. Anyone seen this before or know what may be the issue ?

Data execution prevention
Hello: Thoughts on settings for data execution prevention on Windows 2003 servers and XP PCs? I've had to use the registry hack to disable it on many of my servers since our custom apps just won't work. On the desktops it's turned off. It was on at one point but users were receiving a constant barrage of pop-ups about legit applications and services. And unless you use the reg hack the only settings are on or on. Nice.

RE: NetApp SAN For Virtualisation
Very incorrect. NetApp filers can be used as simple NAS devices if you wish, providing simple Windows network shares on an NFS based system if you wish. You see it as a server joined to your Active Directory domain, you browse to it and see the shares. .. or you can do the full bit level LUN thing to use it as a SAN type device. Enable Fibre Channel or iSCSI with a license key, partition up your disks, give your VMWare host server a chunk of disk to play with formatted with VMFS. Either way works. The deduplication features of the NetApp seem to work best with NFS however, and the killer feature on the NetApp's, their snapshot based backup and restore, likewise. With the Snapshots feature you can do a full backup or restore of 30GB+ databases or virtual machines in 3-5 seconds (!). Particularly if you use the new SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructure product which is VMWare aware and plays nicely with it, you can do your backups of live enviroments in a very small backup window, and restore far far quicker then conventional methods. There was a Webcast from NetApp the other month where a customer (one of Europe's biggest health care providers) was converting over to using NFS from iSCSI based LUN's for their VMWare farm as it was proving just as quick performance wise, much quicker to backup, and much simpler to manage. They had gone from Fibre Channel to iSCSI previously. With VMWare offering more and more support towards NFS, it seems to be the way things are going. -Original Message- From: Erik Goldoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 September 2008 00:51 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: NetApp SAN For Virtualisation Ok, let me ask a clarifying question ...

RE: NetApp SAN For Virtualisation
Correct. NetApp uses WAFL, Write Anywhere File Layout, for their file system. What this allows them to do is quickly commit a write to disk. Fragmentation isn't an issue, according to their engineers. What that also allows them to do is create EXTREMELY quick snapshots of the volumes/aggregates. Because all they do is progress the volume writes to the nth value for that block. What that does also is have 0 cost snapshots. The only time it starts to cost you space is when you start changing blocks. And they only start costing blocks and not whole file sizes. I'm in love with my NetApp. We're having some growing pains with backups and because of that our dual SDLT320 isn't hanging with the jobs it is being asked to do on a daily basis. We were quoted over 100k for a new solution that includes dual LTO4 library with ndmp dumps from the servers. That's too much, so we're looking to bundle this with our DR solution for budgetary purposes. What NetApp allows us to do is put a filer at a remote site and snap mirror to it. That's a complete copy of the data or volume or aggregate, depending on how it's configured, on a schedule or real time. Another part of this is SnapVault where we can vault backups to an offsite filer and as long as we have the storage to handle it, we can keep quick and easily accessible backups for months offsite. Then we can dump to tape monthly or whenever we want.

RE: NetApp SAN For Virtualisation
No. NetApp is a SAN and a NAS and has been designed from the ground up to be that way. Typically when you see a device that does both, it was designed to be one or the other and has been tweaked to do the opposite of what it was designed to do. NetApp runs DataOnTap which is their proprietary OS. What FS you run on your LUNs is no concern to NetApp / OnTap. For example, NTFS. I create a volume for my LUN's. Use SnapDrive on the Windows host to create the LUN, attach it and give it a drive letter, then it formats it as NTFS. NetApp doesn't care. As for NAS, create volume, use the CIFS wizard (or however you want to do it on the filer) and create the share. You can manage the permissions on the share or folders just like any system. You can use the Computer Management MMC to do the share perms or whatever you want. You treat it just like you would any file share. -Original Message- From: Erik Goldoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 4:51 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: NetApp SAN For Virtualisation Ok, let me ask a clarifying question ...

The line between SAN and NAS devices is blurring or even being erased with enterprise-level gear. Traditional SAN (iSCSI and FC) devices (like EMC) are adding NAS protocols - FTP, NFS, CIFS/SMB, and traditional NAS devices (like NetApp) are adding SAN protocols. Some relative newcomers (Equalogic) are multi-protocol from the start. As shown by this discussion, different vendors have varying levels of succcess - NetApp Filers were originally NFS network-attached storage devices, so it makes sense that they handle NFS better than they to iSCSI.

RE: DNS records not updating when DHCP IP is assigned
Are you running DNS scavenging? If not, you should be. If you are, what is your no-refresh timeout set to? Regards, Michael B. Smith MCITP:SA,EMA/MCSE/Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com -Original Message- From: Oliver Marshall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 6:44 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: DNS records not updating when DHCP IP is assigned I have a problem. I think. I may be going mad. I've got a windows 2003 64 bit server. Its the sole server on the network. It's acting as the DHCP server for the network as well as internal DNS. The problem is that when the DHCP hands out a new IP to a client machine it doesn't always record it in the DNS. It seems to some times, but similarly sometimes it doesn't seem to update any existing A records. It does seem fine if we add a new machine however, so creating a new A record seems to be unaffected. As we have a large number of laptop users, and a large number of freelancers, we have a lot of moving around, coming and going. As a result, if we pluck a machine name out of the air at the moment, and ping that machine, the IP that the machine name resolves to is inevitably the wrong one. The same if we do a reverse DNS lookup against the IP, typically it gets resolved to the wrong machine name. Now the DHCP scope on the server *IS* set to create A records when a new IP is dished out, as well as to delete existing A records when a lease expires. We haven't got this issue at other sites, in fact this is the first time I have seen anything quite so significant. Anyone seen this before or know what may be the issue ?

NetApp filers can be used as simple NAS devices if you wish, providing simple Windows network shares on an NFS based system if you wish. You see it as a server joined to your Active Directory domain, you browse to it and see the shares. .. or you can do the full bit level LUN thing to use it as a SAN type device. Enable Fibre Channel or iSCSI with a license key, partition up your disks, give your VMWare host server a chunk of disk to play with formatted with VMFS. Either way works. The deduplication features of the NetApp seem to work best with NFS however, and the killer feature on the NetApp's, their snapshot based backup and restore, likewise. With the Snapshots feature you can do a full backup or restore of 30GB+ databases or virtual machines in 3-5 seconds (!). Particularly if you use the new SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructure product which is VMWare aware and plays nicely with it, you can do your backups of live enviroments in a very small backup window, and restore far far quicker then conventional methods. There was a Webcast from NetApp the other month where a customer (one of Europe's biggest health care providers) was converting over to using NFS from iSCSI based LUN's for their VMWare farm as it was proving just as quick performance wise, much quicker to backup, and much simpler to manage. They had gone from Fibre Channel to iSCSI previously.
