• Mapping of several physical network adapters to virtual network adapters

  Hi all

  I am wanting to know how to combine physical network adapters to virtual nics in Vsphere 4.1. I have a gateway virtualized device that supports multiple WAN connections and balancing on these connections. The bridge is all authentication PPPoE/A, so I need to have separate cards for each PPP connection. So, how can I connect a physical NETWORK adapter to a virtual NETWORK adapter and have all access the same VM virtual NIC?

  Hope that makes sense!

  James

  Right-click on the virtual machine, and then select change settings. On the Hardware tab, click Add, and then add the virtual NICs that you will need.  On the network connection screen, you will be able to select a network label which corresponds to VM port groups you created.

• Bind Virtual Network Interfaces to the physical Interfaces

  Good day to all.

  My situation is as such:
  

  I have a virtual machine running Red Hat Enterprise Linux as guest OS and my host machine is a laptop running Windows 8.1. Each operating system has two network interface cards. I want to place the virtual machine on the line between a router that would be on the left (side Intranet) firewall followed by Internet on the right (side of the internet). I hope there is an option that would allow me to effectively "bind" one of each virtual NETWORK adapter to each physical NETWORK adapter, so that when I place the machine host on the network line, it would be like the VM would be online also. So, basically I want to accomplish what is highlighted in RED in my small figure above.

  The full rectangle is the guest OS with its two network cards on each side, and the incomplete rectangle is the host device with its own two network cards on each side. I hope that someone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

  VMware Player, "Configure the adapter" parameters are indeed not unique for each virtual interface. You use VMware Workstation to meet your requirement. For workstation, you can create two VMnets and link your two adapters to them, then connect your two cards in the comments to the VMnet respectively

• virtual network card to the physical network mapping and default loadbalancing

  What Virtual Machine virtual network card is map physical NIC.

  For example.

  lets assume Vswitch1 on host1 esx dedicated for the network of the virtual machine (port group) and it has 6 cards network linked to it (vmnic1, vmnic2, vmnic0, vmnic3)

  Load policy (default) Balancing - from the originating virtual port (it balances only outbound traffic through all the nic assigned to vswitch1 right?)

  ESXi host1 <-Vswitch1 (the VM network) <---(vmnic 0-vmnic 3)

  Lets assume that esxi hosting 6 virtual machines and each virtual machine has two network cards configured.  Through some documents, come out of that when the virtual machine is running, it gets connected to the ports of availabe on virtual swicth. say, I turn on the virtual machine in the order VM1, VM2... VM6.

  Vmname virtual adapter port on virtual switch1 Mapping of the physical network adapter                        

  VM1 eth0, eth1 1.2 which mappeed of the physical NIC to eth0, eth1?

  VM2            eth0,eth1                              3,4                                      ?

  VM3            eth0,eth1                              5,6                                      ?

  VM4            eth0,eth1                              7,8                                      ?

  VM5            eth0,eth1                              9,10                                    ?

  VM6            eth0,eth1                              11,12                                  ?

  Since we use load balancing based on the virtual port, can two virtual map of the same virtual machine are mapped to the two physical NETWORK card I want say eth0 VM1 is mapped to the (physical nic) VMNIC0, VM1 eth1 get connected VMNIC1 (physical nic).

  It would be great if you could explain how the virtual network adapters are mapped to the physical NIC Y at - it a command or a script to the list NIC(of all vms hosted on esxi) virtual NETWORK adapter mappings physical in detail.

  Is there a way to know what virtual NIC to connect to which physical NIC

  With the virtual NETWORK adapter, you hear the virtual card inside the VM? If if and when you use several VMNIC like you, there is no visibility in vCenter (usually vSwitches, we see with Distributed vSwitches).

  However, you can use the command-line ESXTOP tool in the view 'n', for the connection between the virtual machines and the outgoing vmnic.

• Error of grouping of HP network adapters

  After conversion of 2 HP DL360 G5 with NIC team I now get the error when you try to launch the below HP Network Configuration utility:

  "An error has occurred due to invalid data in the xml file that is used by this application.  The XML file has been damaged and needs to be reinstalled from the installation media.

  This has happened on both servers, up to now, I converted and although the lack of consolidation of network cards is not a huge problem, I fear that this is a code that do not have the conversion process a sweetness that it appeared and there may be more corrupted files hidden.

  Anyone know if there is a known issue?

  I am using Stand Alone Converter 4.3

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Hello from the Canada

  After the P2V conversion, you MUST remove all agents of the material of the Virtual Machine that includes the consolidation of NIC from HP, it will not work properly

  on your VM and it can cause a lot of weird problems

  As you can see on this Ko under the section of "Tasks to perform after that conversion is complete" http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004588

  Tasks to perform after that conversion is complete

  After the conversion is completed:

  1. Check the settings of virtual hardware:

     • Adjust the number of virtual network adapters. If you need customize the host name or IP address, leave all network cards present but disconnected.
     • Remove all devices useless such as USB controllers (if you are running on ESX), COM ports, or floppy drive

  2. Start the virtual machine Mode without failure. For more information, see start a guest operating system Windows in SafeMode (1004011).
  3. Click on Start > Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs.  Remove all unnecessary programs used to install or support device, drivers such a RAID, network software of grouping or management, software management of wireless card management tools and drivers audio and video. Do not restart if you are prompted by an uninstall program.
  4. Restart the virtual machine in Normal mode.
  5. Remove additional devices or device drivers that have been used in support of hardware on the physical server. Use the Device Manager or control panel, depending on the version of Windows to remove unnecessary devices. It may also be necessary to view the event log to clear the messages failed rest device startup.
  6. VMware recommends changing the HAL in the uniprocessor virtual machine if the source server is configured with an abstraction layer multi-CPU hardware (HAL), and the destination virtual machine is configured to use a single processor. For more information, see modification of the Abstraction Layer HAL for a Windows virtual machine (1003978).
  7. Install VMware Tools and reboot if you are prompted.
  8. If necessary, customize the identity of the virtual machine. VMware recommends using the Microsoft Sysprep utility to achieve this, however, it can also be achieved by manually changing the host name, IP address, and any other record of unique identification. For more information, see How to use Sysprep: An Introduction http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457073.aspx.
  9. If the System Configuration Utility (msconfig) has been used before the conversion, select Normal startup switch to return to a normal boot configuration. For more information, see using the Windows System Configuration utility (1004010).
  10. Apply any previously deleted static parameters IP address, as requires it.
  11. Reconnect any disconnected NIC virtual, as required.

• No error network adapters installing ESX 4.1 at the current Summit ESX

  I'm trying to install the server ESX 4.1 in one of my virtual machines created in the current ESX 4.1 box.  The installation failed because no network adapters have been detected.  Anyone know how to put in place or find a network adapter inside a virtual machine running on an ESX Server?

  That explains it. ESXi does not support these virtual network adapters. Configure the virtual machine with the E1000 NICs and it should work.

• Can not see the physical adapters in the virtual network Editor

  I installed VMware Server 2.0 on my computer running Windows 7 64-bit edition Home premium.  I'm trying to make sure that the network card virtual vmnet0 only connects to my thread of material gigabit NIC, not my wireless card.  I went into the virtual network editor and none of my physical computer network cards are listed.  The bridge networks tab the checkbox next to automatically connect to the network device is checked and grayed out.  Any ideas on why my physical network cards are not listed.  Thank you.

  Hello

  Are you running virtual network editor with "RunAs as Administrator"?

• Advice on how best to configure the network adapters and virtual switch in ESX host

  I'm new to VMware and am its implementation.  I got my training a few weeks ago, and now I'm configing my hosts.  I have 3 guests, each have 2 network cards.  There is a virtual switch that ESX creates when it is installed (vSwtich0).  The books said that it is advisable to delete the VM network port of virtual machine that is assigned to the value group default virtual switch and put it on another virtual switch so that you keep your management network separated from the network of the vm for performance and security.  If I do this, all my virtual machines will have to go to 1 NIC b/c I only have 2 NICs per host.  I thought that I have just to keep all my groups of ports on the default vSwitch0 and add my second NETWORK adapter so that I can take advantage of the Association of NICs for redundancy and load balancing.  However, I'm not sure on the performance and the security risks.  Do you have any ideas or advice?  I could also create two virtual switches and put my virtual machines on one which would have a NETWORK card dedicated and put my service and Kernal VM console on another virtual switch with a dedicated network card.  However, in this scenario, I have no fault tolerance or load balancing.  We are a small shop and we have about 10-15 VMs on each host.  I don't have access to b/c distributed switching we paid only for the company (not more).  Thank you.

  Hi and welcome to the forums,

  With 10-15 VMs per box and I guess that I would seriously consider adding two extra cards for each host in the production machines. You could then do something like:

  vSwitch0 - vmnic0, vmnic2, vmnic3 - Console of Service, VM LAN network

  vSwitch1 - vmnic1 - VMkernel

  That would give you redundancy and performance to access your hosts (SC) and also for all your virtual machines. The VMkernel would get a NETWORK card dedicated for vMotion and could be on a separate network. He didn't need redundancy really as if the NIC sank the only issue is that you cannot vmotion virtual machines. In this case you would just move one of the NIC workgroup through to those switches manually.

  If you only have 2 network cards, then I would say having a vSwitch with two attached network adapters and VLAN the VMkernel may be off. I want absolutely to the redundancy of having two cards together.

  Hope this helps,

  Dan

• Trying to count the number of network adapters on the virtual machines

  Hi all

  Have tried to create a script to simply count the number of network adapters in a virtual machine? In all honesty, don't have a clue where to start? I don't know there are a number of 'ownership' but can't seem to figure out how I can integrate this counting cards network

  Thank you very MUCH in advance

  Munster

  Try this way

  $vms = Get-VM
  
  foreach ($vm in $vms)
  {
       $vm | Select @{N = "VMName"; E = {$vm.name} },
            @{N = "VMNICCount"; E = {$vm.Networkadapters.count} }
  }
  

  Inside of the foreach loop, you select in each $vm name and County NIC.

• Impossible to locate or select network adapters in the virtual network editor - W2K8 host

  I am running VMware 2.0.1 on a W2K8 64-bit host (with the windows firewall is disabled for now). VM images are all able to start and use the network bridged the host connection. I can access these images of virtual computer on the network, and even each image virtual machine running on that host computer has access to the public network.

  My problem is that I have three network adapters available on the host, but I can't individually select one of them in the virtual network Editor. The "Automatic gateways" checkbox is grayed, outside, tab automatic bypass, and if I try to select an adapter to exclude none appear in the dialog 'Add adapters excluded' that opens. In the virtual network mapping tab VMnet0 host, is set to be filled to an automatically chosen adapter and VMnet1 & 8 are configured to use their default VMware network cards. If I open the selections from drop down menu to one of the network adapter 10 VMnets listed in the virtual network mapping tab host there is no available alternative.

  Note: three network cards available on my W2K8 host server, one of them is a fault tolerant team consisting of two individual adapters and two other network cards are not associated. The team of the adapter has a network on our local network connection, but the other two adapters are connected to a private network. The fact that the images of the virtual machine running on that host are available on the network and be able to use the network indicates to me that my VMnet0 connection automatically open is finding and using the adapters together somehow (Luckily, by design?).

  I installed VMware 1.X and 2.0 on many host W2K3 servers and never encountered this problem before.

  If Win2008 follows a similar to Vista security model, then you must run AS administrator virtual network Editor.  Otherwise, you cannot make changes selections.

• How to retrieve information about the network (NIC) for each computer virtual (vim, perl)

  Hello

  I have this simple code to retrieve the name of the VirtualMachines in my infrastructure (filtered for data center)

  [.. .other code...]

  	use VMware::VILib;
  	OPTS::add_options (%OPTS);
  	OPTS::parse();
  	OPTS::Validate();
  	Util::Connect();

  My $datacenter = $DCFILTER;

  My $clusterFilter = $CLFILTER;

  My $datacenter_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type = > 'Data center', filter = > {name = > $datacenter});

  my @values = split (/ \ | /, $clusterFilter);

  foreach my {$val (@values)

  My $cluster_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type = > 'ClusterComputeResource', filter = > {name = > qr / $val /});

  My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = > 'VirtualMachine', begin_entity = > $cluster_view);

  {foreach (@$vm_views)}

  		Print $_-> name. "\n";
  		$vm = $_-> name;

  }

  }

  Util::Disconnect();

  This code runs, but now I need to recover some information about each virtual computer network, specifically:

  (1) the labels of each card network to NETWORK interface (for each virtual computer)

  (2) the adapter Type (optional)

  (3) the device status: connected to the power (yes/no) (option).

  I have seen that there are being managed - network, property of the VirtualMachine managed - object, but I don't know how to use it in my code and if contains the information I need (maybe "Summary")

  Example here is one:

  

  in this case, I would like to know for this virtual machine

  (1) LANBACKUP...; dvPP_LABO...; dvp_LABO...

  and if it is possible information 2) and 3) for each NIC... in this case for NIC LANBAKUP...

  Flexible 2)

  (3) connected to the power supply: Yes

  Can you help me to integrate my code to retrieve the information above?

  Thank you very much, for your help.

  I realized prior extraction DVS elements:

  My $dv_switches = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'DistributedVirtualSwitch', properties-online ['name', 'uuid']);

  Then, you can search by UUID:

  ($this_dvs) = grep {$_-> eq {'uuid'} $the_uuid} @$dv_switches;

  This will give you the best performance as well, since you don't have to hit the API for each request (just the first effective request DVS).  You can add additional DVSwitch object data if you need it in your logic.

• Configure the virtual server to 2003 to use two physical network adapters on the host

  I have a virtual server (Server 2003) that I'm trying to point two virtual NETWORK card to two different physical NICS on the host computer.  The two network adapters on the host are on separate networks, and I can't get virtual network cards to connect properly.

  I use VMWARE Server 2 with the virtual network manager.  All good instructions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Run the virtual network Editor.  Disable the automatic bypass.  Then, specify which of your physical NIC to the bridge to VMnet0 and specify the other physical NETWORK adapter on one of the switches (2-7, 9) unused VMnet.  In the settings of your virtual machine, select a virtual NETWORK adapter to be filled, and a 2nd we use custom connection and specify what VMnet switch to use (the one you filled the 2nd NETWORK card physical to).

• Try to change several network adapters on a virtual machine

  Here's what I have to change several virtual machines with an adapter:

  $test5 = import-Csv C:\test5.csv

  {foreach ($vm to $test5)

  $server = $vm.name

  $networkname = $vm.networkname

  Write-host "Changing $server to the new $networkname network.

  Get - VM $server | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - networkname $networkname - confirm: $false

  # #Start Server

  Write-Host "Made from $server"

  Start-VM $server - confirm: $false

  Write-Host "complete!"

  }

  It looks like a spreadsheet with the name of a column and networkname in the other and sets the adapter accordingly.  It works so much that there is only one network adapter to set... for example if there is a virtual machine with vlan1 for 3 network cards on a virtual machine, it will define all 3 cards to the vlan 1, but if a network card is different from vlan 1 it will fail.  How to fix a vm with multiple NICs?  I tried to separate them by a comma, but he doesn't like it.  Any ideas?

  You can add additional columns in your CSV file.

  Something like that

  Name, NetworkName1, NetworkName2, NetworkName3

  VM1, net1, net2 net3

  VM2, net1, net1 net1

  Then, you can change the code something like this

  $test5 = import-Csv C:\test5.csv

  {foreach ($vm to $test5)

  $server = $vm.name

  Get - VM $server | Get-NetworkAdapter | %{

  if($_.) {Name - eq '1 network card')}

  Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkAdapter $_ - NetworkName $vm.networkname1 - confirm: $false

  }

  ElseIf ($_.) {Name - eq "Adapter 2")}

  Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkAdapter $_ - NetworkName $vm.networkname2 - confirm: $false

  }

  ElseIf ($_.) {Name - eq "3 network adapter")}

  Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkAdapter $_ - NetworkName $vm.networkname3 - confirm: $false

  }

  }

  Write-host "Changing $server to the new $networkname network.

  # #Start Server

  Write-Host "Made from $server"

  Start-VM $server - confirm: $false

  Write-Host "complete!"

  }
