ScaleIO 1.32 environment with a new SDC 1.31 host

Hi guys!,

I Need your help for the following scenery:

I builded a ScaleIO 1.32 scenery with 8 Centos 6.5 hosts, 3 of them as SDS and SDC, 1 as SDC only and everything is working fine as it supposed to be, but now I need to add a new SDC host to add in the environment and I'm afraid to do something that will compromise my environment.

The problem is that the new SDC is a VMware5.1 environment with 3 ESX hosts and the Scaleio SDC VIB version available for this VMware version is the 1.31. Is there anyone that can tell me if this kind of configuration can be done and if this can work?

Hi,

ESX5.1 is no longer supported and the ScaleIO SDC exists only from ESX5.5 and up.

ESX5.1 was using iSCSI implementation, which was dropped after the first version of 1.31.

Can you upgrade the ESX to 5.5 and install the appropriate VIB ?

Hi Alex,

To clarify the environment:

  • The 8 SDS servers runs CentOS 6.5 with ScaleIO 1.32 on legacy servers;
  • The SDC in 2-layer implementation, are ESXi 5.1 and we want to install the VIB of ScaleIO 1.31.2 SDC;

It´s already running an environment with ScaleIO 1.32 for SDS and our SDC´s will be the ESXi 5.1 host with ScaleIO 1.31.2, using the SDC VIB.

At this moment the ESXi upgrade will be not possible to do it.

The ESXi Hosts are production host of our customer and we need to confirm that the configuration will work correctly.

Could you help us?
