  • ESXi disk (LUN) property check

    Identifying disks when working with VMware ESXi/ESX (1014953)

     

    Run these commands to collect disk and LUN information from ESXi 6:

    • Run the esxcli storage core path list command to generate a list of all LUN paths currently connected to the ESXi host.
    • Run the esxcli storage core device list command to generate a list of LUNs currently connected to the ESXi host.
    • Run the esxcli storage vmfs extent list command to generate a list of extents for each volume and mapping from device name to UUID.
    • Run the esxcli storage filesystem list command to generate a compact list of the LUNs currently connected to the ESXi host, including VMFS version.
    • Run the ls -alh /vmfs/devices/disks command to list the possible targets for certain storage operations.

  • How to create/delete/assign RDM in ESXi6

    Create RDM map file:

    Login into the ESXi6 shell terminal,   and execute the rdm.sh (  rdm ) to create the RDM map file

     

    Attach / Detach RDM to VM:

    Launch vmware vshere client v5.5 to attach /detach the RDM disk, the existed disk  to VM

     

    Delete RDM map file:

    Launch vmware web client to delete the RDM disk map file

  • Local Storage as RDM

    https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1017530

    /vmfs/devices/disks           for local or SAN-based disks.

    /vmfs/devices/lvm               for ESXi logical volumes.

    /vmfs/devices/generic        for generic SCSI devices.

    To configure a local device as an RDM disk:
    1. Open an SSH session to the ESXi/ESX host.
    2. Run this command to list the disks that are attached to the ESXi host:# ls -l /vmfs/devices/disks
    3. From the list, identify the local device you want to configure as an RDM and copy the device name.Note: The device name is likely be prefixed with t10. and look similar to:

      t10.F405E46494C4540046F455B64787D285941707D203F45765
    4. To configure the device as an RDM and output the RDM pointer file to your chosen destination, run this command:# vmkfstools -z /vmfs/devices/disks/diskname /vmfs/volumes/datastorename/vmfolder/vmname.vmdkFor example:

      # vmkfstools -z /vmfs/devices/disks/t10.F405E46494C4540046F455B64787D285941707D203F45765 /vmfs/volumes/Datastore2/localrdm1/localrdm1.vmdk

      Note: The size of the newly created RDM pointer file appears to be the same size and the Raw Device it it mapped to, this is a dummy file and is not consuming any storage space.

    5. When you have created the RDM pointer file, attach the RDM to a virtual machine using the vSphere Client:
      1. Right click the virtual machine you want to add an RDM disk to.
      2. Click Edit Settings.
      3. Click Add.
      4. Select Hard Disk.
      5. Select Use an existing virtual disk.
      6. Browse to the directory you saved the RDM pointer to in step 5 and select the RDM pointer file and click Next.
      7. Select the virtual SCSI controller you want to attach the disk to and click Next.
      8. Click Finish.
    6. You should now see your new hard disk in the virtual machine inventory as Mapped Raw LUN.

  • Backup ESXi virtual machine

    Backup:
    Copy the whole directory of the virtual machine in VMFS to NFS

    Restore:
    Copy back from NFC to the same VMFS location

    Clone:
    Using vmkfstools to clone between different VMFS or Virtual Machine Name

  • Update HP P410 Firmware

    Updated the P410 Firmware with HP SPP2015040.2015_0407.5.iso

  • Four ways to update HP iLO firmware

    http://techmolecules.blogspot.com/2014/08/four-ways-to-update-hp-ilo-firmware.html

    HP iLO firmware are scexe (self extracting files).  To get the iLO firmware, search system model on support section of hp.com.

    ONE : From OS (Linux) CLI use scexe file

    – Download iLO firmware say CP023069.scexe
    – Unpack it
    $ cd /tmp
    $ chnmod 755 CP023069.scexe
    $ ./CP023069.scexe
    – follow online instruction
    – Check iLO new version
    $ curl http:///xmldata?item=All

    TWO : From iLO CLI load bin file

    On some webserver ( that should be on same same vlan as iLO valn and network), copy firmware bin file in DocumentRoot.

    $ ./CP023069.scexe –unpack=firmware
    $ cd firmware
    $ cp firmware/ilo2_NNN.bin $DocumentRoot (usually /var/www/html/)

    – Login on iLO over ssh and upload firmware
    $ssh -l Administrator
    – To see current iLO version
    iLO> show

    – to check if your web servers is pingable from iLO (to get iLO bin file)
    iLO> cd /map1
    iLO> oemhp_ping
    iLO> load -source http:///firmware/ilo2_NNN.bin

    – Your session will seems to hang for 2-3 minute – do not worry ! If all is good. iLo firmware will be upgraded and iLO will be rebooted. Check iLo version
    $ curl http:///xmldata?item=All

    THREE : Using iLO WebUI to upload bin file

    – Download and save ilo firmware bin files extracted above by keying in below in you web browser
    http:///firmware/ilo2_NNN.bin
    -access iLO Web UI, go to Administration tab and upload bin file to upgrade iLO firmware

    FOUR : HPSIM to push firmware

    – Use HPSIM if you  paying SIM license fee !
