Add the second NETWORK card to vSwitch

• Call "HostNetworkSystem.UpdateVirtualSwitch" for the error of the object when you attempt to add the second NETWORK card

  Hi there - first post here, so please be nice :-).

  We are just trying to place an ESX4.1 own deployment in our environment (no previous installation of VMWare) to our main office, using Dell M610 and blades blades M600 to what would become our DR - two sites site hosting VMS on Equallogic iSCSI SAN disks.

  I configured 4 of our blade M610 with ESX 4.1 successfully and they work very well.  These blades have double NIC onboard, and after the initial installation of ESX, I could go to the virtual switch and add in the second NIC like vmnic1 (because one had already been detected during installation).  This fine workd for 4 guests on the M610 blades.  However, I came today to make my first installation on one of the old M600 blades and I encountered a problem.

  Installation went without any problems and I was able to add the host in my vCenter.  I can change all the settings without problem (created the Port of VMKernal for my connection to SAN iSCSI etc, but as soon as I try to add in the second NETWORK card, he paused for a while, and then I get the following error message:)

  Call 'HostNetworkSystem.UpdateVirtualSwitch' of object 'networkSystem-56 "on vCenter Server"VCEN01." ournetwork.local"failed. (network name has been changed for post).  When this happens, it locks up again for several seconds, and when the system returns, I can no longer communicate with the ESX host (Observer of events in vCenter watch 'host is not responding' and I find that I can not ping the host unless I reboot it.)

  If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it that I don't want to proceed down to the line with our Installer if theres an underlying issue and I need to redo everything.

• How to add the second network card?

  A server (VMware ESX 4.1) works well with a network card. Since I want to add a virtual switch, I need to add another network card. So I inserted into a PCI slot and reboot ESX. But the ESX does not. I need to reinstall ESX to let him find this network adapter?

  Thank you very much for the help.

  The added network adapter is Gigabit PCI Desktop Adapter, D-Link DGE-528 t.

  I tried several model D-link years... None of this can work.

  Use a broadcom or Intel card (and listed in HCL).

• CMS OVA, adding the second NETWORK card breaks the first NETWORK card

  I'm testing CMS 2.0 and when I try to add a second NETWORK card in VMware, he immediately interrupts the first network card.  As soon as the loading of the image, the first NIC fails.  Even if I disable iface b, it will allow all traffic where iface one.  If I stop the application, remove the NETWORK adapter and run it back again, it works very well to the iface one.

  I want to test the public face with box feature, but I can't if I can't add a second network card.

  How do you add the second network interface and interface you add?

  You should add 'VMXNET3' type if you use VMWare, if you chose something else, you invalidate your license, see section 3.3 of the virtualized CMS 2.0 Setup Guide for deployments.

  If you need assistance, you must move this thread to the section of telepresence of forums, where this device is actively discussed.  You can change your question and change the categories at the bottom of the page.

• Cannot add the secondary network card

  Hello! I bought specially for ESXi (Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter, model number 8390MT) a new PCI Intel network card. It is listed as a supported network component. I have pluged it started, the host, went the networking, but I still see only one, the old network card. It would appear there automatically or must something needs to be done in the linux command line? I'm not good with linux, maybe I should just re - install the ESXi?

  Make sure that you add the NIC in the vSwitch. If you just go to the page of networking in the VShpere customer, you won't see the second NIC automatically connected to the vSwitch. Did you do that?

• Is it possible to add the second graphics card for this model Y510p?

  I've been doing mixed responses from customer service chat lenovo so I'm posting my question here. Recently, I bought this laptop. It comes with a single graphics card. I heard this model has ultrabay and you add another graphics card. My question is - is it true that you can add a second graphics card in this system by using ultrabay? Please let me know. I'm confused if SLI and ultrabay means the same thing. If this is the case, then this system is not sli. I appreciate your help.

  http://shop.Lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/LENOVO/y-series/y510p/?SB=:000001 C 9: 00011E0A:

  Also, don't forget to find the extra $20 or sometimes $50 discount code for the Lenovo y510p and apply it to the Fund. The time I bought my laptop I used the code USPY5168320, you will find a similar code if this does not work.

• IMAQdx mind traffic on the second NETWORK card

  Hello!

  My system:

  -Labview 2011 SP1 with NO Vision and IMAQdx

  -Windows 7-32 bit

  -2 NICs (Intel Pro 1000)

  On a NIC (subnet: 192.168.0.x - Intel pro driver) a sick Ranger is connected. Store it works with Studio of sick Ranger or the Labview Toolkit Ranger.

  On the second NIC (subnet: 192.168.1.x - Realtek dreiver) a Vision of Basler GigE camera is connected. It works with the grun80 pylon Viewer and IMAQdx GigE functions in Labview.

  If I start the acquisition of two cameras using the Studio store and Basler pylon Viewer (no Labview) both cameras acquire images at high speed without any interference.

  If I use Studio Ranger or LV-store Toolkit for the Acquisition of store it works selection UNTIL I have start a Labview VI containing the screw IMAQdx to acquire images of the Basler camera. As soon as the VI performs stops Acquisition of Ranger and Ranger loses the connection.

  I guess the driver IMAQdx is somehow interfering with two network cards.

  Suggestions how to exclude one of the NICs of IMAQdx driver or can someone tell me what is happening on the network driver layer when loading of IMAQdx?

  The purpose of my request to LV, is that both cameras can be used at the same time!

  Thank you!

  Disable the identification of cams network solve the problem?  See also How to disable IMAQdx sending periodically a Ping 'discovery'.

• How to use the second network card physical to Virtual Machine?

  Two queries. We strive to VMware Server 2

• How to add a second network card to my VMs

  I would like for my VMs see as two NICs installed on my machine. What are the steps to get there there are only three options briged, host-only, and Nat which should I use?

  Probably want to make a host only NIC then and have a second VM on the host that too, assuming that the one you already have is filled, that simulates a machine on the inside of your network.

• Impossible to use the second NETWORK card on VM

  I'm under VMware Workstation9 and I'll put up a configuration 5.1 ESXi

  VM1 - Windows 2008 - acting as a DC and a NFS storage
  VM2 - ESXi 5.1

  I added a second NIC on VM1 and VM2 to IP storage but I can't PING vice versa

  IP address:
  VM1 - 198.168.150.10 SM: 255.255.255.0
  VM2 - 192.168.150.11 SM: 255.255.255.0

  VMnet2 is used for the management, no problem with this vmnet3 is used for storage traffic but no communication possible

  Any Suggestion?

  Check the response of jmattson to Re: operating system of the virtual machine attempted to activate the adapter Ethernet0 promiscuous mode. This is not allowed for security reasons. solves the problem.

• Adding a second NETWORK card on the server HP Proliant ML 350 G5

  I have a new HP Proliant with a guest of Windows 2008.  HP came with two network cards on the MB.  I need double-home this box on both networks, at least for a while, and this server will be the only road between subnets.  It's just a stand-alone installation inset.

  I looked in the settings of the BIOS on the HP and it's a little confusing, but I'm sure that the second network card is active (it lights up when it is plugged).  When I try to add a NETWORK adapter to the configuration of the host, it is as if the second NETWORK card is not present.

  My question is what is the best way to add this second NETWORK adapter and how do I do that?

  I'll need access to the host of the VI Client on both networks - at least for a while.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  If you go to configuration-card network in the vSphere client is the 2nd NETWORK card that there are listed?  If ESXi is able to recognize the NETWORK adapter (or other people that you add) they should appear in this list without any config changes and be ready for use.

  What kind of networks are you fill?   If one is considered not secure you could be better not add a management on this network port and prefer to have access via a VPN VM or a secure hosted VM / dual.

• Configure the 2 network cards in a VM for MPLS LAN and the other for internet

  Dear all,

  I have a HP Server with 2 NIC cards. ESXI 4.0 is installed and 3 VM was created in it. Initially that a NIC card was connected to the path of the LAN MPLS switch and another card NETWORK was not connected to the internet switch port.

  Each VM only had a single NIC in it. So I assigned MPLS IP LAN to ESXI host and VM 3 and everything worked perfectly.

  Now, I wanted to have the internet connection for my 3 VM. So I plugged the 2nd NETWORK card with internet port and added the second NETWORK card to the ESXi using the Vsphere client - & gt; configuration - & gt; Networking option. Now the two nic cards are ponting to the network of the virtual computer.

  I've added 2 network card to all 3 VM and assigned to the internet IP addresses to all of these NICs. order of MPLS and internet work at the same time, I removed the card NIC MPLS entry door and manually routed through route add command. After this MPLS and internet worked well in 1 VM.

  I tried the same thing in 2nd and 3rd VM but it failed. whenever I have add 2nd network card in the virtual machine, the first of this virtual machine network adapter does not work.

  I'm after the right approach? Help, please...

  Kind regards

  If I understand correctly your installation, you connected the physical NIC to two different IP networks.  Then you connected these cards in the same switch-v on the server.

  This essentially fills two different networks at the layer level 2 layer 3.

  You want rather than the two networks remain separated inside the host.

  • create a new v-switch on the host

  • move the internet NIC v-switch

  • Move the second NIC on each virtual machine to this switch

  • Make sure that access to internet VM NIC is one with a default gateway on a virtual machine OS

  • remove the default gateway of the NIC MPLS

  • creating persistent static routes to the NIC MPLS for any affected networks it beyond the same subnet as the NIC itself.  Addresses on the same subnet will be automatically accessible. Just roads for those outside this range.

• Lab Manager V3 and a second NETWORK card

  Hello everyone. I have a question I hope you can help me with. In Lab Manager V2.5, we were having a problem with fencing. Our fencing required 5 IPs and our customer wants about 100 fences. As we seek to do not use more than 2 C all classes of IP addresses, we hoped an alternative solution.

  Our current idea is to try to use the second NETWORK card on a separate internal switch. This option would use the internal IP for 4 IP addresses and an external IP address. Although this plan seems feasible in theory, the V2.5 Lab Manager did not work to achieve this end. Thus, we are now experiencing V3. Does anyone know if this plan of attack is feasible? If so, what measures are necessary to achieve this goal? The second NETWORK card will be detected automatically by the Lab Manager, or is there a configuration I do not see any there to achieve?

  In short, I need to know if a second NETWORK adapter is feasible with V3 before submitting a request for a second switch. Please let me know if anyone has any info on this subject. Thank you kindly.

  LM 3.0 allows to use up to 4 network LM by VM Interfaces.  A Network Interface is the combination of the virtual NETWORK card and a physical interface LM LM 3.0, or virtual network.  Networking has been considerably strengthened LM 2.5 days.  Instead of a comprehensive physical network, you can have several (limit)? Physical networks that map to vSwitches in your vCenter/ESX host environment.  The Act of creating a physical network of LM 3.0 creates a group of ports on the vSwitch that you you mapped physical network LM.  Each physical network can accommodate up to worth (1024) 4 c of static IP addresses.  If you want that your different physical networks LM using different physical network interface cards on the ESX host, map to different vCenter/ESX vSwitches.

  Fencing is also managed a little more dynamically without the limitations in number of closed configs that were in previous versions.  All virtual machines in a fenced config needs to be hosted on the same ESX host however.

  Oh, virtual networks are a separate issue, which allow the installation of a local network visible only to virtual machines in a configuration.

  I hope this helps.

• How to associate a VM for the second network adapter on the host

  Hello

  I have created a virtual machine and added a NIC that matches the first physical network adapter on the host Machine. I then added a second NETWORK adapter on the host. I would like to create the second network adapter on the same VM and map it on the second NETWORK adapter on the host. How can this be achieved.

  When I use the "Add Hardware", I does not enumerate the physical network adapters on the host to choose and assigns a VM mac address.

  Kind regards.

  VMware customers use virtual network adapters if you need for a great, a second deck on the host card, but how to do this depends on the host OS.

  For Linux, just run vmware - config.pl and choose to create a second bridged network adapter, choose the right pair of physics.

  For Windows, run vmnetcfg.exe (as an administrator), disable the automatic bypass and then manually fill the two physical network adapters (for example to create two VMnet adapters * with each mapping to a different physical NIC). You also need to restart the host VMware Agent services and VMware Server Web Access before these virtual cards will be available for use.

  Chapter 11 of the guide is a good reference for all this - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf
