I love CLI (Command Line Interface).

It gives you control…

So therefore if I work with ESX and snapshotting:

# vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms
To get all VM’s andthier ID’s

# vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.create [ID] [Name]
To create a snapshot

# vim-cmd vmsvc/get.snapshotinfo [ID]
To get full information on snapshots on the VM

# vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.revert [ID]
To revert to a snapshot

# vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.remove [ID]
To remove a snapshot

# vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.removeall [ID]
To remove all snapshots from the VM

You need a HP ESXi image to run the command

Then you have following options:

If you for some reason think your Linux File System is read-only. Donot trust on the mount command, as it will show you your FS in rw mode.

Following command will show you the Read-Only mounted File Systems:

 egrep " ro,|,ro " /proc/mounts

A File System can becom Read-Only if it has been away to lang for the OS. To prevent data Corruption, Linux makes it RO.

• 1. Close the Cisco AnyConnect Window and the taskbar mini-icon
• 2. Right click vpnui.exe in the “Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client” folder. (I have it in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\”
• 3. Click on the “Run compatibility troubleshooter” button
• 4. Choose “Try recommended settings”.
• 5. The wizard suggests Windows 8 compatibility.
• 6. Click “Test Program”.  This will open the program.
• 7. Close
• Some people may need to repeat the above steps for vpnagent.exe. That is the local service that supports the client user interface.

Today I had to add 2 P4330 nodes to an already existing P4300G2 management group.

Both P4300G2 systems and P4330 systems where on FW level 11.5.
When adding them to the management group an error occurred:

Storage system did not join the management group <GROUPNAME>.
Failed to sync newly added system. Remove the newly added system and try to add it again.

Als the system gave me following error:
“Storage System Status Missing”

Searching the internet I got to a page that indicated that there could be a subnet mask mismatch.
Checking this I came to the conclusion that all was OK. So the “SAN”switches, subnet mask, VLANning.
I made a call with HP.

Seems that some P4x30 systems with FW level 11..5 loaded from the factory have a BUG in the system that gives this result.

So please make sure, if you have this error, you do a Re-Image of the system (keep license key at hand) and re-do the settings you made earlier.
But this will solve your error.

Have Fun!

We have had an installation of a MSA 1040 system. At the customer site, we discovered that the FAN’s kept running on full speed.

Current firmware was:  GL105P003

New firmware from HP (released 01 December 2014) fixes this problem (GL200R007).

Hopes this helps you all.

There are moments you need to get the old zoning out of a Brocade SAN switch. This could be, because you are re-using an older switch in your enviroment, or maybe you have been working on your fabric without noticing that you had a Fragmented Fabric.

To clean the config do following steps:

switchDisable
cfgDisable 
cfgClear 
cfgSave
switchEnable

.. and voila!!! A brand new switch.!
