At the time of writing the Brocade 2 port 10GbE Converged Network Adapter for IBM BladeCenter (81Y1650) is supported on VMware ESXi up to version 4.1.

To install VMware on the blades, a custom VMware ESXi 4.1 ISO image with Brocade CNA drivers is required.

The Brocade 2 port 10GbE Converged Network Adapter for IBM BladeCenter drivers are available on Brocade web site:

http://www.brocade.com/services-support/drivers-downloads/adapters/IBM_BLADECENTER.page

Download the latest Adapter Driver Package for WMware ESX 4.0/4.1 (brocade_driver_esx4x_v2-3-0-2.tar.gz at the time of writing).

I used the VMware KB Adding third-party device drivers to ESXi 4.1 to include the Brocade CNA drivers into the installation media.

First, download and install the VMware VIBDDI Image Customization Tool for ESXi 4.1. I recommend using 32-bit version for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Anyway, vtar binary is 32-bit only inside the 64-bit package.

Copy the ESXi 4.1 installation media ISO image to /opt/vmware/vibddi/iso.

Mount (loop) the ISO:

# mount -o loop /opt/vmware/vibddi/iso/<VMware-VMvisor-Installer-iso> /mnt

Decompress the imagedd.bz2 file:

# bunzip2 < /mnt/imagedd.bz2 > imagedd

Umount the ISO image:

# umount /mnt

View the contents of the ESXi image:

# vibddi -i imagedd -q

Extract the network and Fibre Channel HBA offline bundle ZIP files (BCD-bna-*offline_bundle-*.zip and BCD-bfa-*-offline_bundle-*.zip) from the two ISO files inside the Brocade Adapter Driver Package for WMware ESX 4.0/4.1.

Add the Fibre Channel HBA driver (bfa) to imagedd:

# vibddi -i imagedd -o BCD-bfa-*-offline_bundle-*.zip
Setting up configuration for esxupdate
This may take a few seconds...
Checking bootbank filesystems (pre-install)
Installing offline bundle: BCD-bfa-*-offline_bundle-*.zip
Update operation completed successfully
Checking bootbank filesystems (post-install)

Confirm the driver is in place (look for vmware-esx-drivers-scsi-bfa) in the query output:

# vibddi -i imagedd -q

Add the CNA network driver (bna) to imagedd and generate the custom installation image (-g flag):

# vibddi -i imagedd -o BCD-bna-*-offline_bundle-*.zip -g
Setting up configuration for esxupdate
This may take a few seconds...
Checking bootbank filesystems (pre-install)
Installing offline bundle: BCD-bna-*-offline_bundle-*.zip
Update operation completed successfully
Checking bootbank filesystems (post-install)
Generating customized ISO: /opt/vmware/vibddi/iso/VMware-VMvisor-*.x86_64.iso
This may take a few minutes...
Generated new ISO: /opt/vmware/vibddi/iso/custom/VMware-VMvisor-*.iso


Confirm both drivers are in place (look for vmware-esx-drivers-scsi-bfa and vmware-esx-drivers-net-bna) in the query output:

# vibddi -i imagedd -q

The VMware ESXi 4.1 custom installation image with Brocade 2 port 10GbE Converged Network Adapter for IBM BladeCenter is in /opt/vmware/vibddi/iso/custom/VMware-VMvisor-*.iso. Use the image to install ESXi 4.1 on the blades with Blade Tasks / Remote Control / Remote Console under BladeCenter H AMM.

Check about vHBAs and other PCI devices may stop responding in ESX/ESXi 4.1 when using Interrupt Remapping.

FS-Cache
FS-Cache is a new feature in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 that enables networked file systems (e.g. NFS) to have a persistent cache of data on the client machine.

… and nothing about the limitations or how to disable fscache.

Tried to add install fscache /bin/true to /etc/modprobe.d/fscache.conf with the following dmesg result (of course, no NFS filesystems mounted):

1. Enable HTTP KeepAlives and persistent connections

2. Enable server-side output compression

3. Enable MySQL query caching

4. Install a PHP accelerator and optimizer

1. Enable HTTP KeepAlives and persistent connections

From Apache 2.2 manual:
The Keep-Alive extension to HTTP/1.0 and the persistent connection feature of HTTP/1.1 provide long-lived HTTP sessions which allow multiple requests to be sent over the same TCP connection. In some cases this has been shown to result in an almost 50% speedup in latency times for HTML documents with many images. To enable Keep-Alive connections, set KeepAlive On in your httpd.conf file [1].

2. Enable server-side output compression

Use Apache Module mod_deflate to enable on the fly server-side output compression before being sent to the client over the network. Compression decreases the bandwidth usage and also decreases the page load time [2].

First, make sure the mod_deflate module is loaded in httpd.conf:

LoadModule deflate_module mod_deflate.so

Enable compression for text files:

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript

3. Enable MySQL query caching

The MySQL query cache is a unique caching strategy that is currently not utilized by other database engines, and one that can greatly enhance the performance of most any system that experiences high degrees of read activity. Because both physical and logical I/O activity is all but eliminated by the query cache, even systems that must bear the brunt of inefficient SQL statements can many times perform faster than those on other database platforms. [3]

To enable MySQL query caching, add the following two lines under [mysqld] block in your my.cnf (/etc/my.cnf on RHEL / CentOS) file:

query_cache_type = 1
query_cache_size = 16M

and restart your mysql server.

4. Install a PHP accelerator and optimizer

I use eAccelerator which is a free open-source PHP accelerator & optimizer. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times.

On RHEL / CentOS you can install eAccelerator from Fedora’s Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL):

yum install php-eaccelerator

and restart your web server:

service httpd restart

The configuration file is at /etc/php.d/eaccelerator.ini, default settings should work for most users.
Precompiled PHP files are stored in /var/cache/php-eaccelerator/.

To display old and stale cache files, run:

find /var/cache/php-eaccelerator/ -type f -atime +30
