esx所用的port列表

不翻譯了,直接看比較快

port 80
vCenter Server requires port 80 for direct HTTP connections. Port 80 redirects requests to HTTPS port443. This is useful if you accidentally use http://server instead of https://server.

port 389
This port must be open on the local and all remote instances of vCenter Server. This is the LDAP portnumber for the Directory Services for the vCenter Server group. The vCenter Server system needs tobind to port 389, even if you are not joining this vCenter Server instance to a Linked Mode group. Ifanother service is running on this port, it might be preferable to remove it or change its port to differentport. If needed, you can run the LDAP service on any port from 1025 through 65535.If this instance is serving as the Microsoft Windows Active Directory, change the port number from 389to an available port from 1025 through 65535.

port 443
The default port that the vCenter Server system uses to listen for connections from the vSphere Client.To enable the vCenter Server system to receive data from the vSphere Client, open port 443 in thefirewall.The vCenter Server system also uses port 443 to listen for data transfer from the vSphere Web AccessClient and other SDK clients.If you use another port number for HTTPS, you must use : when you log in to thevCenter Server system.

port 636
For vCenter Linked Mode, this is the SSL port of the local instance. If another service is running on thisport, it might be preferable to remove it or change its port to different port. If needed, you can run theSSL service on any port from 1025 through 65535.


port 902
The default port that the vCenter Server system uses to send data to managed hosts. Managed hostsalso send a regular heartbeat over UDP port 902 to the vCenter Server system. This port must not beblocked by firewalls between the server and the hosts, or between hosts.

port 902/903
Ports 902 and 903 must not be blocked between the vSphere Client and the hosts. These ports are usedby the vSphere Client to display virtual machine consoles.

port 8080
Web Services HTTP. Used for the VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices.

port 8443
Web Services HTTPS. Used for the VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices.

網頁上對於iscsi的參數說明

Could you please give me the detailed parameter of the 'IPfrag tuning', 'Jumbo Frames Config', 'NFS Daemon tuning' , 'Read ahead disk tuning' and 'iSCSI daemon option ' in the 'Tuning options'.
IPfrag Tuning - it si apcket fragmentation section. You can set arnage of it in this option

Jumbo Frames Config also called MTU(Maximum Transmission Unit) - refers to the size (in bytes) of the largest packet that a given layer of a communications protocol can pass onwards.

NFS Daemon tuning - you can set how many NFS daemons you want to have run in the system. On some system NFS causes NFS timeouts and chnging this value then helps. It also can improve NFS performance.

Read ahead disk tuning - with this option you can increase for better performance size of cache. In some cases it is rquierd to decrese it for better compatiblity.

iSCSI daemon option - in this option you can set values of iSCSI target:

a) MaxRecvDataSegmentLength - Sets the maximum data segment length that can be received. This value should be set to multiples of PAGE_SIZE. Currently the maximum supported value is 64 * PAGE_SIZE, e.g. 262144 if PAGE_SIZE is 4kB. Configuring too large values may lead to problems allocating sufficient memory, which in turn may lead to SCSI commands timing out at the initiator host. The default value is 8192.

b) MaxBurstLength - Sets the maximum amount of either unsolicited or solicited data the initiator may send in a single burst. Any amount of data exceeding this value must be explicitly solicited by the target. This value should be set to multiples of PAGE_SIZE. Configuring too large values may lead to problems allocating sufficient memory, which in turn may lead to SCSI commands timing out at the initiator host. The default value is 262144.

c) MaxXmitDataSegmentLength - Sets the maximum data segment length that can be sent. This value actually used is the minimum of MaxXmitDataSegmentLength and the MaxRecvDataSegmentLength announced by the initiator. It should be set to multiples of PAGE_SIZE. Currently the maximum supported value is 64 * PAGE_SIZE, e.g. 262144 if PAGE_SIZE is 4kB. Configuring too large values may lead to problems allocating sufficient memory, which in turn may lead to SCSI commands timing out at the initiator host. The default value is 8192.

d) DataDigest - If set to "CRC32C" and the initiator is configured accordingly, the integrity of an iSCSI PDU's data segment will be protected by a CRC32C checksum. The default is "None". Note that data digests are not supported during discovery sessions.

e) MaxOutstandingR2T - Controls the maximum number of data transfers the target may request at once, each of up to MaxBurstLength bytes. The default is 1.

f) InitialR2T - If set to "Yes" (default), the initiator has to wait for the target to solicit SCSI data before sending it. Setting it to "No" allows the initiator to send a burst of FirstBurstLength bytes unsolicited right after and/or (depending on the setting of ImmediateData together with the command. Thus setting it to "No" may improve performance.

g) ImmediateData - This allows the initiator to append unsolicited data to a command. To achieve better performance, this should be set to "Yes". The default is "No".

h) DataPDUInOrder - It tells initiator if data has to be sent in order. Defualt is "Yes", which is also recommended.i) DataSequencerInOrder - It tells initiator if data has to be sent in order. Defualt is "Yes", which is also recommended.

j) HeaderDigest - If set to "CRC32C" and the initiator is configured accordingly, the integrity of an iSCSI PDU's header segments will be protected by a CRC32C checksum. The default is "None". Note that header digests are not supported during discovery sessions.

k) Wthreads - The iSCSI target employs several threads to perform the actual block I/O to the device. Depending on your hardware and your (expected) workload, the number of these threads may be carefully adjusted. The default value of 8 should be sufficient for most purposes.
