]]> Comment on RecoverPoint Fake Volume Size Error by Matt Taylor http://vblog.matt-taylor.org/2011/06/22/recoverpoint-fake-volume-size-error/#comment-68 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 14:55:34 +0000 http://vblog.matt-taylor.org/?p=144#comment-68 RandomPunter

Thanks for the information. I’ve actually encountered this issue with 3.4, however flare code was not at 30 yet. I think the key here is that flare 30 is used in conjuction with 3.3SP1 or above to take advantage of larger replica LUNs.

RecoverPoint and RecoverPoint/SE 3.3 SP1 implement “fake sizing” for CLARiiON splitter environments. It is no longer required that a replica volume added to replication set be exactly the same size as the production volume it is replicating. If an exact size volume is not available, a volume that is larger than the production volume can be used as the replica volume instead.

I will comment on the solution and have EMC support update this

you will see a message stating the selected volume is larger than the production volume. To enable failover the extra capacity will not be used.

At this point you can continue.. or Choose a lun of a different size.

]]> Comment on TCP/IP Stack Corruption on VMware Host. by Robert A'cat http://vblog.matt-taylor.org/2009/09/28/tcpip-stack-corruption-on-vmware-host/#comment-65 Fri, 17 Jun 2011 07:56:26 +0000 http://virtualmt.wordpress.com/2009/09/28/tcpip-stack-corruption-on-vmware-host#comment-65 I had a template that was not setting TCP IP setting from custom script or manual process.
It appears the template had become corrupted.
I cloned another version from the master template and this worked ok.
I have also seen corruption affect inventory and the ability to edit settings for the virtual servers.
I have effected a repair by removing the template from the inventory and then re adding it backing by clicking right click *.vmtx.
Please make a note of the storage are the templates is on for instances the LUN number removeing from the inventory. Then browse to the LUN open template folder right click *.vmtx.
add to inventory. This appear to repair some link in the inventory file to allow the edit settings to work.

As always please test in a non live environment.
I accept no liability or responsibility for the above procedure used at your own risk.

Do I have great answers there? No, I wish I did…but more just to emphasize the point…
