Symptoms


這是關於 VAAI UNMAP 附掛程式問題,刪除狀態顯示為不支援:

[root@ESXi:/] esxcli storage core device vaai status get -d naa.<WWN>
   VAAI Plugin Name: VMW_VAAIP_CX
   ATS Status: supported
   Clone Status: supported
   Zero Status: supported
   Delete Status: unsupported <<<<<<<<<


The UNMAP feature became available for Unity arrays from VPLEX 6.0 Service Pack 1. So, must confirm if the VPlex is running on the correct version code that supports UNMAP.

But, when the VPlex is running on the version that supports the UNMAP feature for Unity, the UNMAP feature reports unsupported. The use of UNMAP is limited to Thin provisioned volumes. So, need to check if the the LUNs are thin provisioned or not:
 
[root@ESXi:~] esxcli storage core device list -d naa.<WWN>
   <Output is truncated>
   .
   .
   Thin Provisioning Status: unknown <<<<<<< It means that the LUNs are thick provisioned





 

Cause

在 VPlex 上執行的版本不支援 Unity 的「取消對應」功能。

或者

如果 VPlex 在支援 Unity 的 UNMAP 功能的版本上執行,原因是 LUN 已完全佈建,或 LUN 已在 Unity 上精簡佈建,但 VPlex 虛擬磁碟區上的精簡功能已停用。

Resolution

如果 VPlex 未在支援 Unity 的 UNMAP 功能的版本上執行。客戶將 VPlex 升級至支援 Thin UNMAP 的 6.0 SP 1。

否則,

會檢查 VPlex:

1. 確認佈建至 VPlex 的儲存磁碟區是否具備精簡功能:
 

VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/storage-volumes> ll Name VPD83 ID Capacity Use Vendor IO Status Type Thin Provision Thin --------------------------------- ------------------------ -------- --------- ------- ----------- ----------- Rebuild Type Capable --------------------------------- ------------------------ -------- --------- ------- ----------- ----------- ------- --------- ------- VPD83T3:514f0c5b94e0002c VPD83T3:514f0c5b94e0002c 15G used Unity alive normal false legacy true


2.確認 VPlex 虛擬磁碟區上已啟用精簡型功能

3.啟用虛擬磁碟區上的精簡型功能 (如果已停用):

VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/virtual-volumes/testvolume_vol>set thin-enabled 1

檢查 ESXi:

4.掃描 ESXi 伺服器上的儲存裝置。這可以透過命令列和 VCenter 完成。

[root@ESXi:/] esxcli storage core adapter rescan --all

5.針對 VPlex 虛擬磁碟區執行儲存核心路徑命令 Naa id i :

[root@ESXi:/] esxcli storage core path list

6.在卷上創建分區或數據存儲之前,ESXi 無法獲取該卷的精簡置備狀態,因此仍報告不支援該功能:

7.在磁碟區上建立資料存放區,或為磁碟區手動建立磁碟分割表格,精簡隨需分配狀態將變更為是,取消對應將會「變更為支援」。

[root@ESXi:/] esxcli storage core device list -d naa.6000144000000010b021768279d4285d

8.執行上述步驟後,如果 ESXi 仍無法更新取消對應狀態,請檢查 VMware KBA,並從 ESXi 端進行調查。
