Is the concept of "refreshing" volume groups possible
Is the concept of "refreshing" volume groups possible on an existing copy of a volume group? Let me rephrase. Say I setup a volume group (VG) of 24 volumes (PRD01) that are for a production database. I want to snapshot that group of 24 volumes and create a copy of it to repurpose as a prod support DB copy (COPY01) and another copy to mount on another server to get backed up (COPY02). When its time to backup the server again can I refresh the data of PRD01 group to COPY02?joshua_buck3 years agoNovice I69Views0likes18CommentsHi Guys - a customer has pointed out some confusing information regarding FA, ESXi ISCSI and port binding
According to https://core.vmware.com/resource/best-practices-running-vmware-vsphere-iscsi#sec7262-sub12 port binding is unsupported if the FA has iscsi-interfaces in 2 subnets. On https://support.purestorage.com/Solutions/VMware_Platform_Guide/User_Guides_for_VMware_Solutions/FlashArray_VMware_Best_Practices_User_Guide/VMware_and_iSCSI_FAQs#NIC_Teaming_vs_Port_Binding.2C_which_should_I_use.3F|https://support.purestorage.com/Solutions/VMware_Platform_Guide/User_Guides_for_VMware_S[…]ay_VMware_Best_Practices_User_Guide/VMware_and_iSCSI_FAQs it is stated "So which should you use? The answer here is clear, port binding whenever possible. This is not only recommended as a best practice with Pure Storage but by VMware as well."Solvedah3 years agoNovice I78Views0likes12CommentsIs there a way, on the flasharray (either GUI or CLI) to check connections hitting a specific port on one of the controllers?
I've got a support case open on this as well, but it appears that we have no hosts hitting one particular port on our array despite all configs looking correctjhunter3 years agoNovice I38Views0likes10CommentsHaving issues with Long HBA rescan times
Having issues with Long HBA rescan times. Any point in the right direction is appreciated. We already have a high priority ticket in but this coummunity has been helpful more than once!

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of planning a new infrastructure for a client. 90% Vmware, 2 Arrays in Active Cluster - kind of standard. Now the big caveat - it's a critical infrastrucure (german "KRITIS"), so a "dark site". What are my "losses" if I'm cut off the internet. Are there technical limitations (besides no cloud mediator for example), or are they only in support/managability (Pure1 etc.). What is the SOP, from a pure support perspective if dealing with a dark site?chaoshead3 years agoNovice I21Views0likes8Comments
