Storage Connect: Nexenta ?

I'm back after about a year, 3.0.0 didn't go so well in my evaluation, but I'm retooling my lab VM environment with 3.1.1 to give it another look for the next while. Got the OVM Manager up yesterday, I see the Storage Connect plugin selection has not progressed too far. I know that Oracle's position is that the customer should be putting pressure on the storage vendor to build the plug-in, but such an approach is doomed, chicken and egg, perceived competitors, priorities etc..
Lets face it Oracle, the customer should not need to do marketing effort for OVM with any storage vendor, Oracle needs to internally and externally socialize the benefit of storage vendors building a storage connect plug-in. Nexenta for example is a nice low cost feature rich modern storage solution. That's what we have in the lab. It would be nice to see how OVM would operate with the managed storage api implemented.
Just saying, Oracle should recognize that their own storage solutions are not the only choice in the real world and that a OVM VM platform with a different storage vendor such as Nextenta would be a win and drive business for Oracle.

Zpool status shows ONLINE even if storage connectivity is lost

Hi experts,
I have seen that zpool status reports zpool as ONLINE even if storage connectivity is lost.
is there a way to get zpool check for actual status rather than reading it from cache?
Even a statvfs64 on zfs on top of it do not return error.
I have cache seeting to none aspool is imported with AltRoot.
I am looking for a comand that can be used to monitor the health of pool which will be schedule to run.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I asssume you mean the scqsd process is running on the QS, right?
A QS is shown as offline, it the monitor could not reach it when it last tried. This is usually due to a networking problem.
If you issue a clq status, the monitor checks again and if it can reach the QS will change its status back to online.
If this does not happen, check your logs, what kind of error message showed up.
Does clqs show on the QS show the correct information?
It is obvious, that if a node dies and the QS has been offline prior to the node death, that the other node will die as well due to lack of quorum, i.e. it has less votes than needed. You seem to have a basic networking problem or something is really wrong with your QS.

How can I add more LUN to SERVER?Reboot your Oracle VM Server -- the discovery process will find the new LUN and automatically add it to the Unmanaged FC Storage Array for you. There is no released IBM Storage Connect plugin, yet. You should talk to IBM for that.

E-Series storage connectivity questions.

Hey all, Long time NetApp FAS engineer here and this is the first time diving into the E-Series devices. Have some questions about the storage connectivity of these systems, mainly the 2700 series. As I understand it there are 3 options for storage connectivity, 2 or 4 ports 16 Gb FC\10Gb iSCSI optical, 2 port 10Gb iSCSI RJ45, 2 or 4 port 12Gb SAS DAS. So my questions are: 1. With the 2 port 10Gb iSCSI RJ45 -> Will thie negotiate down to 1Gb iSCSI connectivity?2. With 2 or 4 ports 16 Gb FC\10Gb iSCSI optical -> A customer received the "Cable,Direct Attach CU SFP+ 10G,2M". Do they have optical GBICs with fiber connections? Will this negotiate down to 1Gb speed or is that just for the RJ45 connections?3. Can the onboard 1Gb ports be used for storage connectivity? Thanks all.

Hi, 1. With the 2 port 10Gb iSCSI RJ45 -> Will thie negotiate down to 1Gb iSCSI connectivity? Yes 2. With 2 or 4 ports 16 Gb FC\10Gb iSCSI optical -> A customer received the "Cable,Direct Attach CU SFP+ 10G,2M". Do they have optical GBICs with fiber connections? Yes, combined FC/iSCSI SFP modulesWill this negotiate down to 1Gb speed or is that just for the RJ45 connections? Yes, will negotiate to 1Gb speed 3. Can the onboard 1Gb ports be used for storage connectivity? No, those are for storage system management only, not host IO

Storage Connectivity with Nexus 5548

Hi all,
How to do storage connectivity in N5K. Is is possible to connect my storage in N5k normal port or we have to use FCoE ports.What is the config required for the Same.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Ajith

Lo,
To connect Native FC/FCoE into any port on a N-5548 you would require the N-5548UP model, Short for Unified Ports meaning the ports can take FC/FCoE/Eth. If you have a N-5548P you will require one of the expansion cards for your SAN connectivity as all fixed port are Eth only.
The expansion modules available is on the data sheet here.
The configuration guides are available here.

Remotely access usb western digital 2tb storage connected to airport

Hi everyone, just wanted get some feedback on this set up, if it is possible, and how to configure the settings properly. I want my Netgear n600 router Version 1 + Airport Express + WD 2tb hard drive to = a personal cloud that I can remotely access. I have a netgear n600 WNDR3400 that has a 2.4ghz and a 5.0ghz wifi network capability. I 30-30-30 flashed the netgear n600 router so that I have dd-wrt firmware( DD-WRT v24-sp2 (12/08/11) mega) running on the router instead of the restrictive built-in netgear web interface. I have an Airport Express 802.11g version 6.3 that I have connected to the netgear n600 router via ethernet cable. Connected to the airport express, via usb 2.0, is a Western Digital 2tb hard drive (externally powered). When I am booted up from the internal macbook pro hard drive mac side (I also have Bootcamp Windows 7 installed that I can boot from) my mac's time machine application starts backing up to the WD hard drive when I connect the usb hard drive to my macbook pro. The entire WD hard drive is formatted as HFS+, however I am considering partitioning the WD at least 3 ways, 1250 gigs HFS+ for mac storage, 500 gigs NFTS for windows storage, 250 gigs for unux / linux storage to host my website. I want to remotely access the WD storage space connected to the Airport Express, specifically, each individual hard drive partition based upon what remote system I am using and the respective partition storage format. If I am on a windows computer, I want to have a 500 gig "cloud" that I can access any computer via a windows Start -> Run or map the network drive. I want the same home server ability as a 1250 gig cloud that any mac can access. I want to have remote read or write priviledges when I connect to this server through the mac finder. Similarly, I want to connect through a linux terminal to have access to my 250gig partition for unix. One last thing, I want to host my website on the WD plugged into my Airport Express. Does anyone have any suggestions what dd-wrt settings I need to change to make this work? I do not understand port forwarding very well at all. I think I understand that I need to have a static ip address and then forward the ports. I just do not know what to set my static ip to, or what settings I need to change in the dd-wrt web interface for forwarding ports. Can anyone please tell me which ports do I forward to remotely access my usb storage and personal website? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Much obliged, Keento

The Express doesn't support HDDs.

N95 Mass storage connection issue.

I have a strange problem with my N95. When I connect to my PC Vista cannot install the drivers for the mass storage/data transfer application. The drivers for PC suite, media player and image print work fine, but it appears that the drivers for Mass Storage are not on the CD.
I decided to upgrade my firmware to attempt to solve the problem, but when using Nokia Software Updater, the program stalls at the detecting device stage (step 2/3).
Can anyone help? As without the ability to connect the phone as a mass storage device, I cannot use Nokia Map Loader (again it will not detect my phone - despite PC suite detecting it fine)

i also have the same problem, but wonder why no one has replied a solution to this issue. as you describe exact same problem. if anything ive found with this phone so far, its a NIGHTMARE.
there was definatly a problem with the firmware when it was first shipped, after this was updated fixed some things, but the WLAN wouldnt work and needed alot of research online to fix it, nokia support to note didnt have a clue. The problem i had was due to setting the aerial to always on, and not power saving. Anyway if someone has an answer as to why the mass storage driver wont install and so i can put the nokia maps on the phome, it would be much appreciated.

'mass storage' connection option showing error mes...

Up until a yesterday , my phone was working fine . Then , yesterday , when I tried to connect it to my PC via the nokia-provided USB cable , things went kaput.
The phone began by working normally, asking me to select a connectivity option, while my computer gave me the message that it had detected a new MTP device , and then asked me to insert the disc that might have come with this device. I cancelled this , as always, and selected the 'mass storage' option on my phone. At this point , the phone gave me this error message :-
"Memory card in use by another application. Please wait."
and the computer , instead of treating the phone like an external storage device , began going through the same sequence of " found MTP device . Please insert disc " over and over . This is happening even after I reset my phone to factory settings. What do I do now ?
Can anyone please help ?

Are you sure you selected Mass Storage mode on your phone in the connection prompt, and not Nokia Suite / Ovi Suite / PC Suite? If you have restored your phone to factory settings and are stil having problems, then you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for them to inspect.

Asha 501- usb mass storage connectivity issues.

hey guys, I've just connected my phone to an android tab using usb mode. 1st thing is it didn't detect my phone as mass storage. 2nd thing is after unplugging my phone, all the content in my memory card seems to be scrambled, everything looks in different language/characters. Not sure what to do apart from reformatting the memory card. Any suggestions...
I tried restarting the phone, reinserted the memory card. All info on memory card is scrambled.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Interestingly this just published today but not familiar with Asha 501 USB connectivity behaviour other than as a Windows USB mass storage device: http://conversations.nokia.com/2013/08/05/nokia-asha-501-how-to-add-music/

Trekstor pocketair wifi storage connecting with airport express

Hey there!
Is is possible connecting a Trekstor wifi Storage with airport express? I wanna use Itunes and this storage for streaming music with mit mac pro book (OS X 10.9.3)
Or is it nessaray to use a apple wifi storage like airport extreme?
Thanks!
Best regards
Michael

Is is possible connecting a Trekstor wifi Storage with airport express?
In theory, the Trekstor should be able to connect to an existing network either via a wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) connection. The AirPort Express, depending on the model, can supply both.
On the other hand, the Express DOES NOT support hard drives connected to its USB port; whereas, the Extreme and Time Capsule base stations do.

Kyocera Brigadier as mass storage connecting to Debian Linux

Hi all. I have a new Kyocera Brigadier but I can't get it to transfer files using Debian. The phone is running Android 4.4.2 and I'm using Debian Wheezy 64bit current. I set the android to Media Sync Mode but I can't find it as a device. If I don't set it to Media Sync Mode, then it registers as a CDRom but I can only see a few system folders (looking into the ISO), not anywhere to put my music files. Thoughts?
Here is a dmesg http://paste.debian.net/163512/
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-106426/ My phone, but I don't have the Mass Storage option.
Why is it difficult to transfer files when Android is Linux-based? I've never had a problem like this before. I've had an ADP1 and an Android X2 before and this never happened until now.
I found this thread Kyocera Brigadier as mass storage but that was for Mac.
Thanks!

You need to install the Android File Transfer application for Mac in order to get the mass storage functionality on your Mac.

Pegasus R4 storage connection to Thunderbolt monitor

Promise tech support tells me that the Apple Monitor (thunderbolt) needs to be last in the chain. This will totally defeat the ability to plug the MacBookAir into the montor accessary power and the thunderbolt connector with the power "y" connector. Currently I have the MacBookAir near the Thunderbolt Monitor for the utility of the power and thunderbolt connector. I used the 2 meter Apple thunderbolt cable from the Apple Thunderbolt Monitor to the Promise Pegasus R4 storage.
And it just works!
Am I doing anything wrong? Unless I want to have the storage box on the desktop...NO...this is the only way reasonable.
Thoughts?
WT

I have an R6 and it is the LAST in the chain - Mine works fine with no issues. I can not imagine why it would matter - Did they give you any reason why they thought it would make a difference?

Help with Oracle 10g Client Connectivity from Linux to IBM SAN storage

Hello Oracle Experts,
This is my first post. My client is having oracle 10g database up and running in IBM SAN storage.
We have some NMS tools running in Red Hat Linux version 5. So, these tools require connectivity to Oracle database which is residing in SAN storage connected with the Fibre cables.
How do I establish the connectivity from Linux to SAN storage. If would be glad if you can explain me the steps and also if there is any pre-installation/post-installation, patches and procedures involved.
If it is IP based network we normally give the IP address of the host running the database server. I have no idea about SAN storage connected with Fibre cable.
Please guide me to establish the connectivity from linux 5 to SAN.
Thanks.
Regards,
RaviShankar.

Hi Rajesh,
Actually I will not be touching the Oracle instance SAN box directly. I will only access the database from another machine. I my case it is Linux box.
So, my question is how do you make the Oracle Client in Linux box to connect to Oracle instance running in another non ip based machine SAN storage.Install Oracle client on this Linux machine ..
Make sure you have network connectivity from linux machine to database server. You need to connect to server where db instance is running and you need not to bother about SAN storage.
make tns entry into client $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora file.
Use sqlplus to connect to database using client.
