EVA Max IO Transfer Size


The HP EVA storage is optimized to perform at 128KB Max IO transfer size or less. If the host operating system uses large block size, it may reduce the storage performance. For example, ESXi use 32MB by default. To tune the value, you can go to host software advanced settings.

Host IPMI System Event Log Status


Sometimes you may still receive ‘Hosst IPMI System Event Log Status’ alerts (which means the system event log is full) even after you reset event log and reset sensors. In my case, the solution is ssh into the ESXi host and restart the sfcbd-watchdog service. ~ # /etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog statussfcbd is running.~ # /etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog restart~ # … Continue reading Host IPMI System Event Log Status →
