Sorry to have to post this, but can't find any documentation on how I actually enable EX-X? I am at 4.1.1.4 but upgrade if required. Just trying to figure out how to turn it on? Thanks, Erik

IPMI Ports Show "No Connect" In BIOS

Hello, A few of the IPMI ports on a new installation (3K and 6K series) show "no connect" in the BIOS. The ones that are working show "Dedicated LAN." Our networking folks have verified the ports as access ports, and are active with the correct VLAN ID configured. We will be swapping the ports on the switch between the working/non-working IPMI ports to confirm if the issue is on the switch or node side. Could there be some BIOS settings we may have missed? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Active Directory configuration fails with "Directory config name is invalid"

I cannot seem to get Active Directory authentication configured and cannot figure out why. After following the directions in the support article "Configuring Authentication" I receive the message "Directory config name is invalid". Here is what I have tried: using the IP rather than the host name, turning off the firewall on the DC, using a different AD host, trying different ports (i.e. 389 and 3268), trying a different browser (firefox and IE), specifying the full directory path (/ou=,dc=,dc=) - nothing seems to work. I just keep getting the error message "Directory config name is invalid". I can ping the DC host from the CVM using the FQDN; firewall issues have been ruled out by turning off the firewall; the LDAP url is typed correctly. My thought is that this feature simply isn't working correctly on 4.1.3. Has anyone else experienced problems getting AD configured properly?

Cluster SSL Certificate

Team, I would like to install SSL Certificate for my cluster. I have 3 nodes in it and I am wondering how many certificates should I request. 1 single certificate for the entire cluster (The CSR will be generated using the Leader, but what is going to happen if the leader changes) or should I request 3 certificates (one for each cvm) ? Many thanks in advance, Regards, Thibaut

CVM network latency on new chips

Have a customer that we just installed new 6035 nodes using the Haswell chip. Found that they had an issue where CVM network latency checks would periodically fail. Inspecting the log with support showed occasional 70ms+ spikes both for CVM-to-CVM and CVM-to-gateway settings. This is a vSphere 5.5 U2 cluster, so we set the power settings for high-performance instead of balanced (default by foundation) and the latency issue went away. We're guessing there is some new ACPI tweaks required by VMware for ESXi. After configuring high performance, the latency between CVMs went from .2 to .3 millisecond average (typical) to more in the .07 - .09 range, and so far we're no longer observing any big spikes.

Prism UI - time zone and timestamps shown on events

So the hosts themselves have been changed accordingly for the timezone the customer wants, but was wondering, for Prism to show the correct timestamps on stuff being done, would this come from the CVM time zone or where is the setting for the switching PRISM to use the customer specified timezone for timestamps?

Default networking for hyper-v cluster

I'm trying to find out what the default networking setup looks like for a hyper-v cluster. If we were to take a 3x3060 for example, I assume the 10GB ports are teamed and then both added to a external switch of similar? what about the 1gbs ports? if anyone has a couple of screenshots that would help my curiosity... Cheers Dave
