    Fed up! How can we disable / block ICMP (ping) on ESXi 6 hosts? We need an expert!!!

    IPTables would make this very easy. Typically, echo replies to pings can be blocked by blocking port 7, which is why I tried to go that route. There are routers in between the subnets, but due to security policies in place, and for other reason, this has to be applied to each host in some way...

    Help needed working with Samsung SSD Firmware

    Thanks. I ended up stumbling across that and I have everything downloaded, but the drive isn't showing up at all on the latest motherboard i've connected it to. I'm not sure I'll be able to flash the firmware if I'm able to get it detected as jibberish again on another motherboard either. The...

    Fed up! How can we disable / block ICMP (ping) on ESXi 6 hosts? We need an expert!!!

    We have spent days on this and have gotten no where. Here's the deal. I need to disable ICMP, at a minimum ping/echo, responses from the management IP to all non-local subnets. So in other words, lets say a random ESXi server's IP is 10.10.10.101/24. I need all hosts on 10.10.10.x/24 to...

    In Desperate need of guidance - EMC Clariion CX3-10c

    I don't = \ I wish I could afford a service contract. They make it impossible for individuals to get the resources they need to learn this stuff. If that is what's needed, hopefully I'll come accross someone who will login to the EMC site and get me the image. The FLARE image and utility...

    Need help/advice with EMC CX3-10 SAN

    One more thing, the Amber LED is flashing very quickly. I'm going to let the unit sit/run for a while and see what happens. The activity lights for drives 0 and 2 are flickering, and those are the FLARE drives for SPA, which is connected to the first DAE, so maybe its still doing something...

    Need help/advice with EMC CX3-10 SAN

    I've read quite a few forum posts and it appears that the unit *might* be actually booting up and thats just the last log entry. If thats the case, it is my understanding to point the browser to the IP of SPA to load navisphere. But, I'm not sure what the IP address is. Since I have reloaded...

    Need help/advice with EMC CX3-10 SAN

    I recently procured an EMC CX3-10 from the secondary market. I'm trying to learn the basics of EMC equipment. I know its old, but even with its age it cost me a pretty penny to get everything.
