Hello, Using 2 PS6600 as a standalone member (each), we need to change the raid 10 to raid 6. We did the change on the first PS6600 using the changing raid policy and it took 2 months to complete the operation. For the second PS6600 we would like to destroy al data, mean do a delete of the raid 1

We have two 6610X’s, each in it’s own group. Any data on Group A is replicated to Group B.  Any data on Group B is replicated to Group A.  This is done to ensure data safely exists in opposing groups in event of failure (and in addition to our VM backups). My question is: with 8 1TB volu

I need to replace a failed drive in our PS6100. If I purchase a replacement drive, does it need to be the same exact specs? Can the model and firmware be different as long as the drive is still a 600GB, 10K, 2.5" SAS drive? Model: ST9600205SS F/W: CE0B

Anyone seen this or have a suggestion to get the host to boot before I make the drive to this remote site to inve

I have a PS6210 group connected to 3 esxi hosts over a private LAN, all set up to use multipath. In EQ group manager, the 2 older hosts show duplicate iscsi connections for each nic (the ones with IPs ending with 21, 28, 29 and 30. The newer host (with the .31 and .32 IPs) doesn't have the duplicate

Hi all, Apologies if this is a bit of a newbie question as I have not really worked with Equallogics much. The setup is that we have Equallogics running with Auto Snapshot on some of the volumes (that VM's run off of). I am looking to implement a shutdown script with my UPS and just had a few

Hello, We have two 6510e units. One is primary storage, the other serves as a replica target. The replica needs to move to a new vlan (the same that the primary unit is on). We don't have the management interface configured, so I'm thinking this should be pretty straight forward... Pause replicati

Hi, We have 2 volumes which are limited to keep a maximum of 2 snapshots, however these go up to 8 or 9 snapshots. We can see the 2 scheduled snapshots but also the other snapshots taken at various times throughout the day. The snapshot times do not match with the scheduled times in ASM on the host

Hi, We have 3 volumes on our file server which are directly connected to the SAN using iSCSI Initiator. We have changed these to thin provisioned. The file server is running Windows server 2012. We have installed ASM version 5 onto the file server, however when we go to re-thin the volumes they ar

When adding a new baseline in VMware Update Manager for MEM 1.5, I see three different extensions to choose from with the same patch name, but different patch IDs (see screenshot). The documentation isn't specific about which should be selected. Should I select all of them, or one in particular?

I created an 800 GB Volume and have it connected to one of 3 ESXi Host. I did not create it as thin provisioned.  Also, Not using snapshots (i set this to 0) at this time. If I wanted to go back and set the vol to thin, is there a recommended setting for the slider bars below the thin provisi

We encountered some issues, so this is more of a question of whether Dell requires/recommends a different approach to moving EQ volumes from one server to another. We attempted to replace an old 2003 server with a 2008R2 server this past week. The server has close to 200 separate volumes. My proc

We have three members (PS6010's) which need to be removed due to a decomm. All volumes have been removed ready for decomm, two of the members show 0 connections but one shows "102 internal connections not shown". If we delete this member last what are the consequences as in all the ESXi Hosts and

I am newbie to Dell EqualLogic Host Integration Tools for linux. So hope to get some help here. We recently upgrade our RHEL from 5 to 7.3. After the upgrade, I re-install the HIT and Logging into a Volume with Multipath I/O. it's all fine. # ehcmcli login --login-at-boot --target iqn-name --por
