Use OpenFiler as your Free VMware ESX SAN Server. By David Davis - January 8, 2009 Many of the VMware ESX Server advanced features cannot be used without a SAN (storage area network). Besides the high cost of the ESX Server software and the Virtual Infrastructure Suite, a SAN can be a huge barrier to using VMware ESX and features like VMotion, VMware High Availability (VMHA), and VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS). In this article, we take a look at how you can download a free open-source iSCSI server and use it as your SAN storage for VMware ESX and its advanced features.
What is OpenFiler and where do I get it? OpenFiler is a free open-source SAN server. In my case, I downloaded the pre-built VMware virtual disk and used it. I let OpenFiler get an IP address via DHCP and then pointed my web browser to it. How do I configure OpenFiler as an iSCSI Target? Here are the steps you need to perform to configure OpenFiler as your iSCSI Target: Step 1 - Create a Physical Volume Go to Volumes, then Physical Storage Mgmt.
Summary. Formation gratuite VMware vSphere Virtual Storage, Networking & Security. Location of vCenter Server log files. Getting Started with VMware PowerCLI. Introduction With vSphere 5, the traditional ESX Server has gone away and the permanent replacement is ESXi Server. Of course, the big difference is that ESXi Server doesn’t have a service console. That service console was a special privileged virtual machine that was used for administration and scripting functions for an ESX host. ESXi Servers, with their tiny Busy-box Linux super-slim console isn’t going to work for scripting and isn’t efficient for mass administration & configuration of ESXi Servers. VMware recommend one of two options with one being the vSphere Management Assistant (vMA). For information on vMA, see my video “Using the vSphere Management Assistant”.
However, scripting in vMA will be done, very likely, using Perl. What You Need to Use VMware PowerCLI Minimally, to use VMware PowerCLI, all you have to do is to download and install the VMware PowerCLI application (free).
