Error installing MEM in vsphere 6.0

Hi, I'm getting the following error when trying to install MEM 1.3 in vsphere 6.0:

Could not bind vmk1 to any of the iSCSI adapters.


It always worked with vsphere 5.5. This problem ocurred with all my nodes including with fresh installed ones, if I try to manually bind the ports it works.

Thanks. I run this command:

/usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/general/credstore_admin.pl add -s esxnode -t thumprint

And now the script works

Hi,

When I login to the site I cannot down the the vSphere 6 MPIO driver for the PS6100x. I am guessing we are out of support. Where can I obtain this file and at what cost?

Thanks

Jeff

This is a very important information, thanks for sharing!

For customers with only 1 EQL array, using Round-Robin paths and changing the IOs for the EQL drive to 3 will make for a much simpler host configuration. But it's important to note that this same setting should not be applied to other NAS/SAN vendors, so use with care and always check your environment.

I found myself in a mixed testing environment with 1 EQL + 1 generic SAN, so choose RoundRobin for EQL, and Most-Recently-Used for the other array (which has Etherchannel setting using 2 ports). Simple performance tests inside the VMs showed similar performance with and without MEM.

Also, please note the following VMWare KB about this: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2069356

Sample command for vSphere 5.x/6.x:

for i in `esxcfg-scsidevs -c |awk '{print $1}' | grep naa.68b7`; do esxcli storage nmp psp roundrobin deviceconfig set --type=iops --iops=3 --device=$i; done
