I recently purchased an HP Virtualization bundle and am trying to get it up and running and not having much luck. your help with the config below is GREATLY appreciated! :)
FYI - i'm new to this, so please be gentle...
I have two ESX hosts with six nics each. I've installed ESX and configured the vswitches etc. (see attached pic - not 100% on this config).
I've configured the included HP Procurve 2510G switch for four VLANs as follows:
Default_VLAN: ports 9-12 and 24 (untagged)
VLAN-200 (iSCSI-VSA): ports 1 - 4 (tagged)
VLAN-201 (VMotion): ports 5 - 8 (untagged)
VLAN-666: all unused ports 13 - 23 (untagged)
The HP Procurve switch port#24 connects directly to my production LAN Cisco switch. (That is probably not the best way to do this - if at all - but again not sure how to best set this up).
I've got the CMC installed on my laptop which is on the production LAN. I am trying to add the VSAs to the CMC but it cannot find them. I know i've missed something here but not sure where, can you please shed some light?
thanks,
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: ESX, VSA, CMC and HP Procurve setup
NICs 3 and 5 on each ESX host run to ports 9 - 12 on HP switch.
NICs 1 and 4 on each ESX host run to ports 1 - 4 on HP Switch.
NICs 0 and 2 on each ESX host run to ports 5 - 8 on HP switch.
thanks.

SolutionAlternatively you could assign your LAPTOP an IP address on the iSCSI LAN, and plug it into the iSCSI VLAN on the switch
Also - to take advantage of storage multipathing on vSphere 4 you will need 2 VMkernel ports, each bound to (only 1) separate physical NICs.

Re: ESX, VSA, CMC and HP Procurve setup
From the ESX console I can ping that laptop and I can also vmkping it. aslo from the ESX console i can ping any host on the 192.168.49.X LAN. However when I ping the VSA1 VM that is sitting in VLAN2 at IP: 192.168.200.10 - I get no reply. If I vmkping it I get destination unreachable....so not sure what's going on there.
Anyway, in regard to adding the route on the firewall, when I add the route, I was going to use a Destination of: 192.168.200.0 and
Net Mask of: 255.255.255.0 but not sure what Default Gateway IP I should use ????? - what address should I assign here? I have 192.168.49.252 free that I can assign if need be but where do I place it?
thanks for being patient with this newb.

Re: ESX, VSA, CMC and HP Procurve setup
I've got everything setup and working (sort of), however, when I try to upload some data to the VSAN, for example an ISO file - I get an I/O error after a minute or so. I am wondering if this is becaue I have STP & flow control running on the VLAN switch ports that are used for iSCSI?? Any ideas?
thanks,

Re: ESX, VSA, CMC and HP Procurve setup
If so I've had similar problems using the VI/vSphere client for file transfers. Much better (faster and more reliable) to use an SCP client like WinSCP or Veeam FastSCP to move files to/from datastores.
