Adding a new NETWORK adapter to the ESX Server

I have an ESX 3.5 server that has two NIC onboard.  I decided that I will join the ESX Server to the SAN, so I need these two NICS for iSCSI.  I'm going to install a NETWORK card in the PCI - X slot.  Unfortunately, without GUI, I'm confused as to how it will work.  Can someone give me some advice on how to add a new NETWORK card?  I checked esxcfg and I don't know if that's what I'm trying to use.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.

In the VI client, you should be able to go on the tab network management under configuration see the NIC it to add them to the correct vSwitch.

  • setting up of a second NETWORK adapter on the ESX machine...

    I'm in the part of my ESX machine and I NIC one configured for LAN, but I try to activate and configure a second NETWORK adapter on this computer, so I can connect it to a VLAN different. When I go I see the place to allow the second NETWORK card (and I have) but it says always "disconnected" and I see only the settings for the first NETWORK adapter in the IP configuration screen. How can I set an IP address and stuff for the second NETWORK card, and why is it showing as offline after that I went out and restarted the management stuff?

    Go under ESX / Configuration / networks.

    You will see your vSwitch. You can change it or click Add, to add a new vSwitch.

  • 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

  • How to change the NETWORK adapter to a virtual server of perticular

    Dear all Hello,.

    I'm new to update3 esx 3.5 I added a VM to esx and figured out that the Vserver cannot ping desktop

    Finally, I thought that the virtual network adapter uses the second NIC in the physical server that is not connected,

    How can I change the NETWORK card to use the appropriate injector?

  • 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.

  • How to add a new virtual machine to the ESX host using the existing files?

    I need to implement a function clone without the use of cloneVM_task. I copied (a special copy) a set existing VM Directory Active Directory to a new directory and renamed copied all files prefix name of the new direcotry.  What task VM (reconfigVM_task, createVM_task or registerVM_task) command can I use to add that the new copied VM on the ESX host? I need to manually update the .vmx for new UUID file and other parameters?

    Thanks for any help.

    I think that as long as you have updated all the names to reflect the new clone you must be fine and on the first step, you will be prompted with a question.

  • VMDK file unreadable after migration of VM & update of the ESX Server

    Last night we have updated the ESX servers here and in the migration process machines from one node to the other (by placing a single node of the cluster in maintenance mode). During this migration, the VMs one has stopped running. When we finished the migration and had updated the ESX Server, we brought the system to the top and tried to start this virtual machine.

    First, we looked in the directory of the virtual machine and saw that the VMDK file has a different name, with - dish at the end (before hard). We have renamed the file, removing the - flat extension, and this is where we saw these messages. ESX Server always gbehaved as if the file did not exist or was unreadable.
