Hardwares:
- Hosts: Two Dell Precision T5400. 4GB memory each.
It came with the Intel E5405 processor which supports VT and 64-bit. I was using Precision T3400 first and didn't check if it supports VT. Of course, it does not. Check if Intel CPU supports VT here.
- For configuraiton: check this article. (read the section of Volumes – Important Information (for the clarity of mind)
- Downloaded and installed OpenFiler. A little bit hard time getting it configured properly till reading this good white paper by John Borhek, VMsources.
Notes:
- Install ESXi 4.1.0 Build 260247 on each T5400.
- Create a VMKerner on the same switch for iSCSI connection.
- Select iSCSI Software Adapter in Storage Adapters, go to Properties. Enable "Software Initiator"
- Then go to Dynamic Discover and add OpenFiler's IP address as the target.
- Go to Storage, you should see the new LUN. If not, click on Add Storage wizard.
- Install OpenFiler on Precision 390.
- Using auto partition option which is not recommended by the instruction.
- Add a secondary hard drive for iSCSI shared storage.
- Install vCenter 4.1.0 Build 258902
Tested to migrate vCenter VM between hosts. No problem.
