  • Get NAA.ID for Virtual Machine RDM's in VMware

    May 6, 2014 PowerCLI Storage
    Share on:

    This is a great script to keep handy. If you have multiple RDM’s on a VM and need to get the NAA_ID for them the below PowerCLI command will get you that information.

    1Get-VM VMNAME| Get-HardDisk -DiskType "RawPhysical","RawVirtual" | Select Parent,Name,DiskType,ScsiCanonicalName,DeviceName,CapacityGB | fl
    

    If you then need to match the SCSI virtual disk to the Guest OS this is a great article on how to do so.

  • Cisco UCS and Native VLAN Tagging

    Apr 29, 2014 Cisco UCS
    Share on:

    Building out some new servers today I came across an issue where the servers would have no network connectivity even though the vNICs were properly tagged and assign a VLAN ID. Upon further research, I noticed that “Native VLAN” was not selected. This is a must for any operating system that does not do VLAN Tagging such as ESXi.

    So remember to set the VLAN to Native if using an operating system that does not support VLAN tagging!

  • Nested ESXi and NFS

    Apr 29, 2014 HomeLab Networking
    Share on:

    I was working today on configuring NFS/Openfiler in my lab and came across an issue that my nested ESXi host’s couldn’t talk over the VSS (Standard Switch) I created. Upon further research when using nested ESXi you need to enable “Promiscuous Mode” on the VSS to allow the traffic to pass.
