You will want to change your IP scheme to this:   EX-Node1             iSCSI-1                  192.168.130.130 EX-Node1             iSCSI-2                  192.168.131.130 EX-Node2             iSCSI-1                  192.168.132.140 EX-Node2             iSCSI-2                  192.168.133.140 Prod-Node1          iSCSI-1                  192.168.130.10 Prod-Node1          iSCSI-2                  192.168.131.10 Prod-Node2          iSCSI-1                  192.168.132.20 Prod-Node2          iSCSI-2                  192.168.133.20 Dell MD3200i        Controller 0 Port 0 - 192.168.130.101 Jumbo Frames 9K Controller 0 Port 1 - 192.168.131.101 Jumbo Frames 9K Controller 0 Port 2 - 192.168.132.101 Jumbo Frames 9K Controller 0 Port 3 - 192.168.133.101 Jumbo Frames 9K Controller 1 Port 0 - 192.168.130.102 Jumbo Frames 9K Controller 1 Port 1 - 192.168.131.102 Jumbo Frames 9K Controller 1 Port 2 - 192.168.132.102 Jumbo Frames 9K Controller 1 Port 3 - 192.168.133.102 Jumbo Frames 9K   Your iSCSI sessions will then be: For EX-Node1: - 192.168.130.130 to 192.168.130.101 - 192.168.130.130 to 192.168.130.102 - 192.168.131.130 to 192.168.131.101 - 192.168.131.130 to 192.168.131.102 For EX-Node2: - 192.168.132.140 to 192.168.132.101 - 192.168.132.140 to 192.168.132.102 - 192.168.133.140 to 192.168.133.101 - 192.168.133.140 to 192.168.133.102 For Prod-Node1: - 192.168.130.10 to 192.168.130.101 - 192.168.130.10 to 192.168.130.102 - 192.168.131.10 to 192.168.131.101 - 192.168.131.10 to 192.168.131.102 For Prod-Node2: - 192.168.132.20 to 192.168.132.101 - 192.168.132.20 to 192.168.132.102 - 192.168.133.20 to 192.168.133.101 - 192.168.133.20 to 192.168.133.102
Hello Everyone,  I have been working on this project for a while now. I have done lots of research and have contacted Dell multiple times. I need some help. I have 2 sets of identical servers to be used for Hyper-V clusters. We purchased a Dell MD3200i in November, we also purchased a Dell 5424 switch and a Cisco SLM2048 switch. These servers have Real Tek network cards 2 each for iSCSI, Jumbo frames is on to 9K  The Dell MD3200i is dual controller SAN. The Dell 5424 is the iSCSI optimized switch and the Cisco is a 48 port switch. iSCSI is on its own network nothing else is connected to it. (There is a Iomega NAS and a Promise Tech Vtrak SAN with the domain controller all running with iSCSI) Dell MD3200i  Controller 0 Port 0  192.168.130.101                    Controller 1 Port 0  192.168.131.101                             Controller 0 Port 1 192.168.130.102                    Controller 1 Port 1   192.168.131.102                             Controller 0 Port 2 192.168.130.103                    Controller 1 Port 2    192.168.131.103                              Controller 0 Port 3 192.168.130.103                   Controller 1 Port 3    192.168.131.104 Cisco Switch has 1 VLAN #1 on it and only the 130 subnet items in it. There are 8 connections to the switch. 4 from Controller 0 and 1 from each of the servers. This has an IP address of 192.168.132.4 but that switch IP should not make any difference. Jumbo frames turned on Dell Switch has 2 VLAN's #1 for the misc stuff like the DC, Vtrack and the NAS. Subnet 2 is 131 and has a total of 8 connectors in it. 4 from Controller 1, and 1 each from the servers. Jumbo frames turned on. IP Address of the switch is 192.168.132.2 Server Groups. Each Server node is running Windows 2008 R2 SP1 and running hyper-v clusters with Virtual Servers / file storage on them. 2 Realtek NIC's with Jumbo frames turned on to 9K ProdNode1 and ProdNode2 have 12 Core i7 CPU with 12 GB Memory, EXNode1 and ExNode2 have 12 Core i7 CPU with 24 GB memory.                   ProdNode1 iSCSI-1  192.168.130.110                       ProdNode1 iSCSI-2  192.168.131.110                  ProdNode2 iSCSI-1   192.168.130.120                       ProdNode2 iSCSI-2  192.168.131.120                 ExNode1 iSCSI-1         192.168.130.130                      ExNode1 iSCSI-2        192.168.131.130                ExNode2 iSCSI-1         192.168.130.140                       ExNode2 iSCSI-2      192.168.131.140 iSCSI Discovery portal on ProdNode1 went to 192.168.130.101 from 192.168.130.110 and 192.168.131.101 from 192.168.131.110 Each of the other servers discovery portal were pairs like that. iSCSI Targets Tab click that, add 8 sessions MPIO to each of the ports on the Dell MD3200i. For example I added 1 session from 192.168.130.101 using this. Add Session, --> Enable Mutlipath --> Advanced --> Local Adapter iSCSI --> Initiator IP 192.168.130.110 and Target IP 192.168.131.101. Repeated this on all servers. 4 Connections for each NIC. The network is very slow. It was running around 2 to 4 MB / MIN and it should be much faster. At first we only had the Cisco Switch with only 1 VLAN and everything connected directly to it. I read somewhere that MPIO was the problem so I went through the same setup but did not check MPIO checkbox above. Once it was done, the network speed increased to 1.5 GB / Min but the Dell Modular storage wasn't happy and the Virtual servers would fail and not very stable connection.  What is wrong with my setup? Can I do direct attached and attach the Servers directly to the PowerVault and will that make it stable and allow for failover and NIC redundancy? I need to get this stable so I can move on with something else.   Thanks Ron
