• Cannot add the VMNET2 (virtual switch)

  I had installed the VMware Server on vista professional. Requriment to add the vmnet (virtual switch) to create different network. I went and virtual network management, but on this page, I couldn't apply it but after selecting the Vmnet, so I had to click on the Cancel button.

  I thought that the problem occurred due to installed corrupted dump. I downloaded the new dump of VMware server 2 vmware.com and installed again but no luck.

  Could someone tell me why this problem occurred.

  Server 2.x is not officially supported under Vista or any other desktop OS but that said, it seems that it works ok although you can have problems with virtual machines to stick to 95% when booting on x 64. I run it, for test purposes, and I don't have the occasional other question requiring reboots or other corrective measures.

  The usual reason for the button apply shaded in vmnetcfg is because you do not like a true admin - with UAC turned, you perform a "run as Administrator". In addition, you may need to restart the VMware Host Agent services and Web Access after changes to these changes is visible/available.

• How to restore a distributed virtual switch.

  Hello

  I have a question where one of my esx host 4 i crashed and then we rebuild the host vmware and I have the backup of the file esx.conf with me since the day before. I had a virtual switch distributed in the vmware environment, and since I rebooted the backup config that my vcenter does not add the host esx to the distributed virtual switch.

  -How to restore the vswitch distributed on the esxi host settings.

  -When I look on the esxi configuration host configuration file indicates that DVS information are uploaded but vcenter does not overwrite the new settings.

  troubleshooting performed up to now

  I restarted the vcenter and all services and same problem.

  forced file configuration several times and same question

  has taken the esx host that out of the inventory and the same issue.

  any other suggestions.

  The answer to this has been found in Vcenter 5.1 where there is an option to save the DV switch. I connected this bug a few years back with vmware and this problem is fixed in vcenter 5.1.

• Distributed Virtual Switch 5.1 update

  Hi all

  We have a vmware vsphere Cluster with 7 v 5.1 ESXi hosts 838463

  We have the form of upgrade version 5.0 to 5.1 ESXi ESXi and vCenter Server since version 5.0 to 5.1 September 2012.

  Now, I noticed that (just a little late...  ;-)) all the distributed virtual switches (we have 2 DVS) need to upgrade.  Version of DVS resulted, in fact, to be 5.0.

  (I saw in vSphere client connected to the server vCenter Server - networking).

  I wasn't expecting this behavior, DVS independent upgrade of host or vcenter server upgrade?

  It is possible DVS upgrade during the normal activity of the infrastructure?

  Thanks in advance

  Anna

  Think about the situation,

  don't forget that a dVS is a virtual switch split on all hosts, if the dVS has been automatically upgraded to the new version and there were incompatibilities or new features that were not available in the switch downstream you might run the risk of a network outage.

  in my opinion rightly done VMware cela a phyiscal post upgrade task,

• A distributed virtual switch and create Portgroup

  I'm looking to automate the "creation" of the distributed virtual switches and exchanges.

  I was unable to justify these functions in the released PowerCLI.

  I only found orders that allow me to refer to an "existing" Distributed Virtual Switch.
  I've seen references to a "adventure".  But all the dates related to the 'adventure' seem to be well over a year.

  What programmatic support exists for 'creation' of distributed virtual switches and exchanges?

  Luc's response was right, that if you cannot use the fling then the module is probably the best place to watch right now.  While we cannot commit future versions, I can say that vDS is high on our list of priorities and we hope a future release will include supported cmdlets to work with.

• NSX 6.1.5 - distribute Firewall rules are not applied to the empty virtual switches

  Hi all

  We have a big problem since we have improved the NSX to version 6.1.3 to 6.1.5.

  I get a bug following this procedure:

  . In vSphere Client--> NSX, create a new virtual switch

  . Distribuer distribute the firewall, create a rule to deny traffic between two survey periods. Example: source: all, destination: all, service: all, Action: reject, applies: the new virtual switch

  . Connect two VMS to the virtual switch and you can test the other (this is false due to the firewall rule)

  . Publish ANY changes on the firewall distribute (could not be related to our rule. Example to change its name to another rule), and the rule starts to operate.

  Additional steps:

  . Remove the firewall rule

  . Identify the virtual machines in the virtual switch

  . Re-create the firewall with applies rule: the virtual switch (still empty)

  . Connect the virtual machines and ping between them. Yet once, the rule does not work.

  . Publish ANY changes on distributed firewalls and the rule starts to operate.

  NSX version 6.1.3 and 6.2.0 both work correctly. But I can't downgrade to 6.1.3 or upgrade to 6.2.0. 6.2.1 upgrade involves the upgrade of several other components.

  I use the following versions:

  . NSX 6.1.5

  . vCenter Version 5.5.0 Build 2414847

  . ESXi, 5.5.0, 2718055

  Please, any ideas?

  Thank you very much

  D.

  She seems to be a bug in 6.1.5 NSX and there is no solution for this yet. There are workarounds, but none of them apply to my "fully automated" environment

  We need to wait for a fix or upgrade to NSX 6.2.1 requiring an upgrade of several components as well.

• How to change the security policy of a group of distributed in a distributed virtual switch ports?

  Hello

  I am trying to write a Perl script that can modify the security policy of a group of distributed in a distributed virtual switch ports. I can access the values of security policy by using the following:

  
  

  $port_group_view-> config - > defaultPortConfig-> securityPolicy - > allowPromiscuous-> value

  $port_group_view-> config - > defaultPortConfig-> securityPolicy - > forgedTransmits-> value

  $port_group_view-> config - > defaultPortConfig-> securityPolicy - > macChanges-> value

  I try to use the method ReconfigureDVPortgroup_Task() of the managed object DistributedVirtualPortGroup. While creating a new instance of DVPortgroupConfigSpec, within the data spec config defaultPortConfig property object there is property of security policy and I couldn't find any other property pointing me to that I can update the security policy. I discovered that it is accessible via defaultPortConfig, stretching from VMwareDVSPortSetting where securityPolicy is a property of VMwareDVSPortSetting.

  What is the way to update? I am bit confused about terminology Extends and extended by and how it relates to the other.

  Concerning

  Akmal

  It is in DVPortgroupConfigSpec, but you will need to use the extended VMwareDVSPortSetting object.

  My $dvpg_spec = new DVPortgroupConfigSpec();

  $dvpg_spec-> {defaultPortConfig} = new VMwareDVSPortSetting();

  $dvpg_spec-> {defaultPortConfig} {securityPolicy} = new DVSSecurityPolicy();

  $dvpg_spec-> {defaultPortConfig} {securityPolicy} {allowPromiscuous} = new BoolPolicy (value-online 1, inherited-0 online);

  $dvpg_spec-> {defaultPortConfig} {securityPolicy} {forgedTransmits} = new BoolPolicy (value-online 1, inherited-0 online);

  $dvpg_spec-> {defaultPortConfig} {securityPolicy} {macChanges} = new BoolPolicy (value-online 1, inherited-0 online);

  You could probably simplify this by getting the config spec VGA and change it before using it in the ReconfigureDVPorgroup_Task() method.

• Distributed Virtual Switch supporting guests with different numbers of natachasery

  Our environment has had the same ESXi host model for some time. Each has interfaces from 2 to 10 GB for the traffic of the virtual machine. We use a virtual switch distributed with 2 uplinks. Now, we stand at a new environment where there are 2 types of hosts. (1) a small workload ESXi host with interfaces of 2 to 10 GB and (2) a large load of work sESXI host with 4 to 10 GB interfaces. They are seperasted in 2 groups (large and small workload workload).

  I had planned to share a Distributed Switch between the 2 groups, so I could move freely between them according to the needs. The only distinction of level of ESXi host is the power of horse and the I/O bandwidth (storage and networks VM will be used will be the same). It dawned on me that the distributed switch is configured with a particular number of uplinks. I'm trying to picture how this will work in this situation? I thought that I create a vSwitch distributed with 4 uplinks and finish by only using 2 of these uplinks when adding a small amount of work ESXi host to it. This is a valid configuration. Should I disable or do something special with the uplinks unused? I have not met this configuration so I wanted some tips on the correct configuration.

  I have validated this configuration as described previously. A dVS with 4 uplinks can take care of the guests with "up to" 4 interfaces. Hosts with only 2 interfaces will have 2 of the 4 links rising dVS associated with natachasery while the other 2 will remain unused. In my case, I decided to use the uplink 1 and 2. Uplinks 3 and 4 are not used with these hosts.

• Migrating from a distributed virtual switch pass

  I have a cluster that is approved for business-more.  I would like the host to a distributed switch.  The configuration of the virtual switch is as follows:

  4 NICs connected to a host, the NIC are part of an EtherChannel.  The network adapters are teamed up with ip route based on the hash of the IP.  All network adapters are connected to the same vSwitch with port groups created for access to the different VLANS

  I did the following to try to migrate to the new distributed switch: I broke the EtherChannel and removed three network adapters on the virtual switch and assigns them to the distributed switch.  At the same time grouping NETWORK adapters on the virtual channel switch based on the originating virtual, we changed the port ID.  I then migrated the service console more for the new switch successfully distributed.  I have created groups of ports on the virtual switch.

  The question is when I re - create the EtherChannel falls hosts on the network.  I have noted the following: "see attachment".

  Anyone using EtherChannel with distributed switches?

  Any help would be appreciated...

• iSCSI multipath with Distributed Virtual Switch error

  Ive followed the iSCSI SAN guide and have iSCSI multipathing works well with a regular virtual switch. Ive cancelled all configurations and have begun to see if I can get this working with a dVSwitch.

  I get the error "Add Nic failed in IMA"

  Someone at - it ideas?

  I recently worked on a case of iSCSI with VMware support and they mentioned a known issue with iSCSI and dVS, this is also described in the release notes, but may still have a problem. You can contact the technical support for confirmation.
