• Teddy bear information is not available from the vswitch object

  I am using Perl SDK to extract the informtion Teddy form a vswich object, but the bear is not intilized when I assigned the vswitch object.

  My $netSys = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = & gt; $moref - & gt configManager - & gt; networkSystem);

  My $vswitches = $netSys - & gt; networkInfo - & gt; vswitch;

  {foreach (@$vswitches)}

  My $pNics = $_ - & gt; Teddy bear;

  My $Switch_name = $_ - & gt; name;

  My $portgroup = $_ - & gt; PortGroup;

  Print "$pNics";

  }

  no idea why this is happening?

  Thank you!

  Try this script: getdvSwitchInfo.pl

• Need a script to create standard vSwitch with virtual and several computer port group VLAN

  I want to create standard vSwitch for all hosts in the cluster for virtual machine port group and add one or more groups of ports VLAN for the same standard vswitch.

  Kind regards

  Try something like this

  $clusterName = "mycluster.

  $nics = "vmnic0", "vmnic1.

  $vlans = 123456789

  foreach ($esx in (Get-Cluster-name $clusterName |)) Get - VMHost)) {}

• How to find what vNIC uses this Teddy bear on ESX 4

  So I remember in ESX 3 you can use "esxtop network" and find what a vNIC VMs has been mapped to as uplink but in ESX 4 it looks different.  I have searched for the answer and can't find it anywhere.

  So here's the situation:

  I have a Dell M610 blade which has 2 x pNICs, 1 x vSwitch and multiple groups of ports.

  How can I find this Teddy bear traffic for my individual virtual machines use?

  Thank you!

  You are talking about "esxtop" and then hit "n" in esxtop?

  This will show you what vnic uses each vm and then the host configuration you can see what Teddy is mapped to the vnic.

• Behavior of vmotion with dVS/standard vSwitch?

  Hello-

  I move 5.5 hosts in my cluster to a distributed vSwitch. About half my hosts and virtual machines are now fully on dVS; other ESXi hosts and virtual machines in the cluster are still on their standard vSwitches history. I want to turn my back on "fully automated" DRS He is currently manually. If I do this, is it true that the DRS is smart enough to figure out it shouldn't vMotion VMs connected to vswitches to these hosts standard migrated to the dVS (where no standard vSwitches equivalents do exist)?

  When I try to vmotion a VM running to the dVS from the host without first setting migration in this VM network, it doesn't let me do and tells me that. I guess that behavior is also coded in entirely automated DRS? Sorry if this is blinding obvious, but I'm just thinking that fully automated DRS will not make a decision that kills the virtual computer connectivity in this situation? Thank you!

  Fully Auto DRS certainly not going to do anything that disconnects from your virtual machine running, in short DRS includes vMotion compatibility very well and accordingly it will act.

• In vCenter, standard vSwitch displays duplicate network connections

  I have an ESXi 5 sandbox / vCenter 5 environment using VMware Standard vSwitches. If I move a virtual machine (with a virtual NETWORK card) to a group of ports to another port group, it appears as if it were in TWO groups of ports throughout the GUI screens possible.

  If I connect directly to the 5 ESXi with VIC, I can see the appropriate configuration. This could be very annoying in production environments. Is this a bug?

  -J

  It seems that your VM has a snapshot! With a snapshot, you will see the currently active network/port group as well as that on which the virtual machine was connected when you took the snapshot. Once you remove the snapshot from the 'old' connection will disappear.

• vCenter standard vSwitch trade + different VIRTUAL local network settings

  Hello

  In vCenter Standard vSwitches, vCenter allows, the same standard name exchanges on different ESX hosts on different VLANS. It is considered to be a bad configuration? Or is it not seen? (Or better yet, can there be real use cases?) Because eventually the traffic would not pass by with this configuration of vlan different, even if the exchanges have the same name for them.

  For example:

  ESX1 - vswitch1 - MYportgroup (vlan5)

  ESX2 - vswitch2 - MYportgroup (vlan10)

  In distributed vSwitches, we have this problem, since it will be a unique portgroup for all the esx servers.

  Thanks in advance for anyone who can shed light on this issue.

  Certainly a use case of vDS in a production system, where this problem would not be a problem. Think about it, however, there might be something useful in a test environment, where you may need to test the configurations or to connect to different parts of the network on a machine virtual 'utility '... If NIC of the virtual machine is configured to use DHCP, the IP configuration could be changed automatically when it moves on different VLANS, etc... It might be useful when you have a network configuration where you had to plug some VLAN specific to specific hosts. Then by simply vMotioning fast virtual machine to another host, you can dynamically change its location on the network.

  Certainly, I would say that it is not a best practice for a production environment, although...

• Standard VSwitch vSwitch vs distributed

  Hello

  I connect my SAN to host the virtual machine. I have only three hosts. We have a very small envirnoment. We're going virtual around 20 servers.

  What is the best practice to connect the san using Standard or Distribution vSwitch vSwitch.

  Thanks in advance

  Yes will be able to switch to a switch distributed later - Yes, you'll need vCenter to implement a distributed switch-

  Yes, you will be able to move local storage to SAN storage vcenter-

• Behavior of a virtual computer when it is placed on Standard vSwitch with multiple active adapters

  Hey everybody

  Right now I'm focusing on the aspect of vSphere network design and I have a question about this:

  If I have a vSwitch with a group of ports and attached to this group of ports there are 2 vNIC or NIC better and I chose road based on the Port ID and all cards are active, what happens to machines when I unplug a power cord? Lets assume vm1 is vnic 0 and vm2 on vnic1 and I unplug the power cord of vnic1. VM2 will switch automatically to vnic0 or should I restart? How should I take care of this problem when there is no automatic failover? Create an etherchannel and two assets assets adapters?

  Thank you and best regards

  Michael

  Hi Michael,

  your virtual computer will be moved to the other vmnic again access to the network after the failure. No reboot needed.

  It is indeed a very simple way of load balancing / team. When you turn on a virtual machine is bound to a vminc. As you said correctly for this example, vm1 goes to vmnic0, vm2 to vmnic1, to vmnic0 vm3 and vm4 to vmnic1.

  This is the default setting as it is quite simple and you don't need any additional switch configuration.

  If you want to change this behavior, for example to build an etherchannel, remember to change the policy on the vSwitch / exchanges, which would require a load balancing of "route based on the hash of the IP.

• How do I create standard vSwitches in a HA cluster where the virtual machine switches to the same network?

  I have a lab put in place with 2 hosts 5.5 ESXi and vCenter.  I want to create a situation where each virtual machine must have a dedicated network card.  If I create vSwitchABC on host 1, what should I do on host 2?  Create vSwitchABC on that host too and connect it to the same physical switch?  Which will allow the host 1 failure and the virtual machine to arrive on host 2 on the network because the same vSwitch names?

  Thank you!

  Welcome to the community-Yes, you need to create a vswitch on host 2 has a virtual machine port group with the same name on host 1 connection on the same subnet as connected to the host - 1

• vSphere networking performance counters - Teddy bear use of flow compared to its use

  I am responsible for a vSphere 5.1 environment that uses NFS data warehouses and I'm trying to collect metrics on how much bandwidth is used to access NFS data stores.  When I did it first a week ago, I ran esxtop and looked at network and sort by Mbps passed parameters and what he was able to indicate what vmnic NFS vmkernel was linked to.  I then took a look at the usage meter vmnic for a total of send/receive KB/s.  During my research, I ran across another counter: "use of flow rates for NFS Teddy."  Here's the problem, when we look at the use and Teddy flow using the counters from NFS on the same vmnic over the same period of time, the use of flow for meter NFS shows bandwidth much higher than that of the meter use (see image).  What gives?

  What I forgot to mention, is that measures to counter throughput.usage.nfs report a higher flow rate than the physical NETWORK adapter can handle.  The highest Summit on the graph shows about a flow of 13 GB/s on a network card 1 GB.  I spoke with a VMware engineer friend and he said it looks like the meter is mislabeled in vCenter.  I verified this by looking at the use of the NFS in vCenter Operations Manager metric and compared to the metric of its use on the same physical NETWORK adapter and the metric NFS for the NIC I was looking at showed approximately 23.8 MB/s (if I assume that the unit of measure of labelling was supposed to be B/s and not KB/s) and usage was about 24.2 MB / s.  The metric of higher use is due to the fact that the environment is badly designed by my predecessor and the NFS Sharing vmkernel rising with VM networks (something that I am trying to solve).

  The Ps and the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

  On the portgroup, the script finds all available ports.

  Then, it checks all virtual machines that already have a connection to this portgroup and removes this Portkey to the list.

  I keep the portkeys in a hash table, because that makes it easy to remove entries.

  $nicTypes = "VirtualE1000","VirtualE1000e","VirtualPCNet32","VirtualVmxnet","VirtualVmxnet2","VirtualVmxnet3" $ports = @{}$pgName = "MyPG"
  
  # Get all the portkeys on the portgroup $pg = Get-VirtualPortGroup -Distributed -Name $pgName $pg.ExtensionData.PortKeys | %{$ports.Add($_,$pg.Name)}
