In FC Zoning, the goal is to create “VLAN-Like” objects called zones that contain the WWNs of your HBAs and Storage.įirst off, lets zone in your SAN. A new Window will appear and look like this: (Each model varies slightly):Ĭlick Configure at the top of the Screen and Choose “Zone Admin”. Once logged into the Switch, you should be presented with the Main Switch Admin page that will look something like this. It requires a specific version of Java and I have found it works best in Firefox than any other browser. So you want to learn how to zone you fibre channel switches? This post will describe how to do zoning through any Brocade Fibre Channel Switch.Īfter installing your FC Switch and getting in an IP, Login to it by going to the IP address.

When the server is done Rebooting, go back into Roles and Features This IQN is unique to this server and covers all of the NICs installed in this server Once enabled, click the Configuration Tab on the ISCSI Initiator and Copy the IQN Name for the server: You should see ISCSI Initiator come up and prompt you to enable it. On each of my Hyper-V Server, hit the Windows Key and Type: ISCSI Select Hyper-V and Click Install (taking all the defaults) and Reboot the Server. On the Server Manager Dashboard, click “Add Roles and Features” The First Feature we install is the Hyper-V Feature: Local Hard Drive with Raid1 Mirror for Hyper-V Installįirst thing first, we start off with install Windows Server 2012 (Pretty Straight-Forward)Īfter you install Windows- install all the latest updates, assign IP info to primary NIC, join to domain, etc and whatever, its time to install a couple of features. Hopefully this post will make this install go a little smoother for you. There seems to be many holes and empty steps left in posts by other users.

I’m told that some HDDs increase performance when this happens because of the way their controller logic works but I think this mostly applies to SSDs not mechanical drives. This is faster than 4k because there’s more data read/written with less movement of the head.Ĥk: The same as above but instead of reading/writing the test data in 512KB ‘chunks’ it reads/writes in 4KB chunks.ĤkQD32: The same as 4K but there are more requests for the data sent to the HDD controller. This is fastest because the head on a hdd doesn’t have to move about a lot as all the sectors are adjacent.ĥ12k: CDM read/writes to random sectors on the drive, but it reads/writes 512KB of data at a random point, then moves to the next random point. That is to say it starts writing on a sector and then writes the next part on the adjacent sector and so on. Sequential: reads/writes whatever file size you choose when you start the test sequentially. Its super lightweight and runs a variety of tests with options you can choose.
