Dell EMC Unity：如何解决 VPlex 调配的 Unity 卷的“删除状态：不受支持”问题（用户可纠正）

这与 VAAI UNMAP 插件程序问题有关，删除状态显示不受支持：

[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





 

如果 VPlex 未在支持 Unity 的 UNMAP 功能的版本上运行。客户将 VPlex 升级到支持精简 UNMAP 的 6.0 SP 1。

否则，

在 VPlex

上检查：1。验证调配到 VPlex 的存储卷是否支持精简：
 

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.验证是否在 VPlex 虚拟卷上启用了精简功能：

VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/virtual-volumes/testvolume_vol>  ll

vpd-id VPD83T3:6000144000000010b021768279d4285d
 
3.在虚拟卷上启用精简功能（如果已禁用）：

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

在 ESXi 上检查：

4.扫描 ESXi 服务器上的存储。它可以通过命令行和 VCenter 完成。

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

5.针对 VPlex 虚拟卷运行 storage core path 命令 ID i ：

[root@ESXi:/] esxcli storage core path list
fc.20000024ff548aa8:21000024ff548aa8-fc.5000144047b02176:50001442d0217600-naa.6000144000000010b021768279d4285d

6.在卷上创建分区或数据存储区之前，ESXi 无法获得该卷的精简资源调配状态，因此它仍报告不支持该功能： 
 
[root@ESXi:/] esxcli storage core device vaai status get -d naa.6000144000000010b021768279d4285d

7.在卷上创建数据存储区或手动为卷创建分区表时，精简资源调配状态将更改为“是”，取消映射将“更改为受支持”。

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

8.执行上述步骤后，如果 ESXi 仍无法更新取消映射状态，请检查 VMware KBA 并从 ESXi 端进行调查。
