Did you know that #EqualLogic HIT for Microsoft 4.7 with 2012R2 support is out of EPA? eqlsupport.dell.com/support/download_file.as... Yes? Why didn't you tell me?
ICYMI: #EqualLogic HIT/ME 4.7 EPA with Server / VMM 2012 R2 and cool #Powershell modules for ASM, RSW, MP is there: eqlsupport.dell.com/support/download.aspx
Using an #EqualLogic thin clone as a DPM custom replica volume for the cloned file data. Many TBs backed up, (almost) none copied by OS.
Auth type for connect-iscsitarget is ONEWAYCHAP, not onewaychap. thanks case-sensitive #EqualLogic overlords.
#Equallogic PS4000 and 6000 chassis type: "1603" = "Fatal error during installation" as a Windows error code. Oddly amusing.
Starting to update 15 #Equallogic arrays to FW 6.0.4, no downtime will be necessary, but it will take weeks to move data around.
Every time I add a few dozen terabytes and some arrays, I kid myself with "this should last a while". Thank god it's so easy. #Equallogic
... and fixed. Thank you very much, #Equallogic firmware 6.0.4. Great CS as always.
Oops, #Equallogic PS6110s have a DCB-bug, causing a 3-4 minute outage when array NIC port fails over. Support case pending.
#Equallogic #ODX (PS6100) create fixed vhdx during / after finished RAID conversion: 500GB: 30s / 5s, 1TB: 162s / 14s.
#Equallogic #ODX offloaded copy from / to same PS6100 runs at ~177MB/s while RAID conversion in progress, ~400MB/s during normal operation.
#Equallogic #ODX offloaded copy from / to same PS6100 runs at ~177MB/s.
#Equallogic #ODX (PS6100 connected to old host with a single 1GB NIC). Create fixed vhdx <= 162GB: 1s, 500GB: 30s, 1TB: 162s.
Lesson learned this week: SSD is cool, but not necessarily fast out of the box on Linux. And less is more with i/o-size. #equallogic
So, anyone already on the #Equallogic FW 6 EPA? Can I use SyncRep with current HIT? Compatibility matrix says "no".
I have now ~200TB worth of #EqualLogic arrays deployed into production. How was your day? #win
#Equallogic PS6100 vertical port failover is one awesome new / old feature. www.equallogic.com/products/default.aspx
Half the loot: 3 #EqualLogic PS 6100, 2 #Dell R910. Patience, my sweet babies, patience. #HyperV
Yeehaa! #Equallogic HIT/ME 4 finally out of EPA. Just in time for the next guest cluster.
When will #Equallogic HIT/ME 4.0 leave EPA? It's been a while now, still bugs to iron out?
Company ordered 6 additional #Equallogic (PS6100) arrays and 2 additional (40 core!) #Dell Hyper-V hosts. #iWin
#Equallogic HIT/ME 4.0's cmdlets will let you get #Dell service tags for each array + silent HIT install and new UI. Huzzah!
Aaaand Raid6 saved the day. Minor fire incident in a datacentre, warning horn (gas extinguisher) blasted an #Equallogic, 2 disks out, 1 dmgd
It took 27s from installation to being ready for failover for a replaced #Equallogic controller. Awesome.
#Equallogic #Powershell tools won't help me get #Dell service tags for the members, either. Thought this to be pretty basic info, guess not?
Seems #Equallogic #Powershell can't give me schedule information for volume collections, only volumes. No automated config report for me. :(
Just unplugged and relocated an #Equallogic array, during work hours. 0 downtime, bc/o transparent volume movement. Yay!
With #Equallogic FW 5.1's APLB, is defrag still "ok"? Seems it would mess with the load balancer.
