PC 6224 setup Help
I have two PC6224's hooked up to an MD3000i. (Non - Stacked)
I've set up the 2 switches so that the left half of each switch (ports 1-12) are for iSCSI traffic, only and isolated (this appears to work well) VLAN 250
Now my issue is this,
the right half of each switch (ports 13-24) need to be connected to 4 PE1950's (running Vsphere 4.1) and the vm's running on those 4 1950's need to have different IP address and see different subnets (in and out)
If the vm's only need to be on the x.x.128.x subnet all would be well and functioning (I know this because this is how I've been using it for the last 3 years) the vm's get a x.x.128.x address and that can see all our subnets.
the problem is this,
Since I've re-purposed this hardware, the iSCSI is working fine, the x.x.128.x is working as desired, BUT, I need the vm's to be able to have ip address other than x.x.128.x such as x.x.228.x.
If I create a vm with an x.x.228.x it only sees the 228 subnet and nothing else, If I switch that VM to 128 it sees all subnets
Summary
VLAN 250 isolated iSCSI traffic - working
VLAN 1 x.x.128.x traffic - working sees everything (except the iSCSI)
VLAN 5 x.x.228.x traffic - only sees 228 traffice
HELP!!

Quick note, your discussion involves two layers. Let me see if I got this right.... xxx.xxx.128 Net = VLAN 250, where xxx.xxx.228 = 5. Both SAN and VMs ports reside on both respective switches. Correct....
Also assume your trunk config to the Cisco/PC are 802.1q with no problems... don't see trunk mode on this config, unless its one of the xg ports.
the 128 subnet is VLAN 1 - the management net
the iSCSI, is VLAN 250
the 228 subnet is VLAN 5
both switches are the same, NOT Stacked
yes, trunking is my issue, I believe on ports 13-24,
I basically want 13-24 to see all subnets, and be able to create VM's in any subnet, and see anything
ports 1-12 on both switches are working as designed iSCSI traffic.
xg ports are not used.
thanks
Ok. Let's get the interconnect paths squared away first - I'm still not clear on this. Sorry, I'm going to go granular. Provide what you can and we can take it from there.
________________________________
CISCO ?? Switch
- 2 switchports in Trunk mode.. allow VLAN 5, 250
- ? Each switchport trunk connected to 1 Powerconnect switch each?
- ? 1Gig ports used not 10Gig
- ? Is the switch L2 or L3 switch... Hopefully it's an L3
- ? Routing protocol? You need this protocol for L3 segments (128 to 228) to see each other! Otherwise your VMs will never see the SAN side.
______________________________
POWERCONNECT 62xx
- Two Switches
? Each switch has an uplink to the Cisco - not clear which switchport is uplink?
- Switch Management
One of the switch's info is 192.168.128.100 /24 on VLAN 250 (not on VLAN1)
- Both Switches switchports 1/g1-12 (Left side)
SAN ports
VLAN 250
Tagged VLAN 250, untagged PVID 250
- Both Swiches switchports 1/g13-24 (Right side)
VM ports
VLAN 5
Tagged VLAN 5 only, discard untagged frame... otherwise affix a PVID of 5
- Switchports 1/xg1-4
Not used

I should add I have verified that the two source ports for each switch (Cisco something ) are indeed trunk ports
