advice needed on the construction of a lab NSX (topology)

Hi all

I am currently building a nice vSphere lab to test the NSX.

When I look around (on the web), I see different configurations and there are two scenarios that I'm doubting everything and I need your advice, which is better to use and why:

Configuration of the Lab 1:

  • 1 x Compute Cluster with three host ESX (Compute Cluster A)
  • 1 x Compute Cluster with three host ESX (Compute Cluster (B)
  • 1 x management & Cluster Edge with two host ESX (M & E Cluster)
  • 1 x Distributed Switch that runs through all the Clusters and hosts

Configuration of the Lab 2:

  • 1 x Compute Cluster with three host ESX (Compute Cluster A)
  • 1 x Compute Cluster with three host ESX (Compute Cluster (B)
  • 1 x management & Cluster Edge with two host ESX (M & E Cluster)
  • 1 x Distributed Switch run across Clusters of calculation A + B
  • 1 x switch distributed across the Management & Cluster Edge (M & E Cluster)


The difference between the two is that in the #1 I use only 1 Distributed Switch and in #2 I use two.


But I'm having difficulties to determine WHY I'd go for #1 or #2, because the two configurations seem valid to the me.


Of you please explain be what is the best way to go, and why this is?

All advice is appreciated.

A key factor is that you can only create a single dvPortgroup to transport VXLAN by VDS. If you can often treat him differently through the clusters - for example (in production) LACP for compute clusters of active failover / standby and then to the Edge cluster. There is good coverage in the NSX - v design around this guide. So as a starting point, it gives you flexibility in how you treat this portgroup if you have more than one VDS. Another aspect could be if you need run so your transport VXLAN on L3 and would like to use another tag VLAN on the portgroup to different sets of hosts. In a laboratory he perhaps won't be much inside according to the depth you want your test to go...

  • Advice needed on the laptop hard drive data recovery.

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could provide some advice on the recovery of data from an ACER laptop which was held in Microsoft Vista?

  • Advice needed on the installation of an operating system for my laptop

    I have a laptop which has 3 hard drives, my main 'C' drive Vista pre-installed and is almost full...

  • Advice needed on the upgrade of the OS

    Hello. I have an Inspiron 5759 running win 10 Home 64 bit...

    I have an ISO of Windows 10 education of Dreamspark.

    I'm in two minds and would appreciate some advice.

    Firstly, I would like to completely reformat the hard drive and perform a clean install of win 10 Education. The downside is:

    • I don't know what Dell has put on the partitions, I would lose some features? For example, Dell diag equipment?

    • I need to reinstall a lot of software.

    But my instincts tell me that this is the best way to go. Is it possible to keep the extra Dell of programs on other partitions?

    The alternative to a clean install is an upgrade, has anyone done this? What is your vision, update own vs?

    T.I.A.

    ALI1EAR,

    You can install the ISO of the education of 10 Windows. You can keep the Dell Diagnostics partition and delete the rest. Yes, you need to reinstall the software in the system. Also, you need to reinstall all drivers for the hardware as well.

    You can also watch the 2 versions of Windows 10 in dual-boot. May be easier for you with this option.

  • Advice needed on the desktop Inspiron 3650

    Hello world

    I need to buy a new desktop computer and I had a look at the new Inspiron 3650.

    It is in my budget and seems to have pretty decent specifications for what I need, I'd go for the model i3 with 8 GB of RAM at £349. I would like to know if this would be good for the upgrade in the near future. I would like to add a graphics card dedicated, a pretty cheap, less than 70 pounds, nothing complicated and maybe upgrade the processor at any given time. Do you think that this office would be appropriate?

    I mainly use for browsing web, web design and development work so I'll use things like dreamweaver, photoshop, etc., maybe some video basic editing as well, I don't use it for games. My budget is only £450, but I might go to 500 books to a boost if you can recommend anything else, so it comes with a monitor.

    Thank you.

  • Advice needed on the way to store large amounts of data

    Hi guys,.

    Im not sure what the best way is to put at the disposal of my android application of large amounts of data on the local device.

    For example records of food ingredients, in the 100?

    I have read and managed to create .db using this tutorial.

    http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/air/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7d49. HTML

    However, to complete the database, I use flash? If this kind of defeated the purpose of it. No point in me from a massive range of data from flash to a sql database, when I could access the as3 table data live?

    Then maybe I could create the .db with an external program? but then how do I include this .db in the apk file and deploy it for android users device.

    Or maybe I create a class as3 with a xml object initialization and use it as a way to store data?

    Any advice would be appreciated

    You can use any way you want to fill your SQLite database, including using external programs, (temporarily) incorporation of a text file with SQL, executing some statements code SQL from code AS3 etc etc.

    Once you have filled in your db, deploy with your project:

  • HDD upgrade advice needed on the Qosmio X 300-112

    I own a X 300 - 112 Qosmio laptop that contains two hard drives SATA 200 GB. I would like to improve the storage on this laptop by deleting the hard drives (the non-OS one) and replace it with a bigger (to 1-1, 5).

    What is your opinion on this? Can I choose any hard disk that I love?

    Any brand, as long as it is 2.5 SATA-300 "?" Maybe a "Toshiba MQ01ABB, 2 TB?

    My first thought was changed to HARD drive which contains the OS and replace it with fast SSD. If you can increase the performance of s for laptop. Second HARD drive to store data can be the HARD drive.

    Anyway, if you want to Exchange second that I see here no problem so I think you can choose any brand. Essence, it is the price. Do not buy more expensive.

    To be honest I have not experience with 2 TB portable hard drives, but I think this should work. If not, send it back.

    I understand your desire to teach your son PC maintenance but replacing motherboard isn't really PC maintenance.

    Take your PC to a competent local PC repair shop and maybe they will allow your son to learn the process.

  • Some advice needed on the withdrawal of the deltas of remains

    After 3 attempts failed to a backup, I was left with several snapshots. I did a withdraw all but I'm left with delta files. It seems to be two methods to commit the deltas. The first is to stop the virtual machine and clone the drive. The second is to create a new snapshot from the command line and then do another delete all. Since the virtual machine is started, since I would rather not have stopped. One had a lot of experience / success with both methods.

    Need complete information about the construction of interactive forms in IDCS6

    Where could I get the most thorough training for the creation of interactive forms in IDCS6?

    I need a tutorial that covers all the basics of the beginning to the end and the rules that cannot be broken. I thought I learned enough today to write one, but it appears there are holes in my methods I discovered tonight.

    In fact prices of Claudia on Lynda.com is about creating forms with Acrobat X Pro, and she finished before InDesign CS6 was available.

    Anne-Marie Concepcion discussed creation of forms in his new functions in InDesign CS6 video Lynda.com.

    But Sandee Cohen wrote an article dynamite in the current issue of InDesign Magazine on creating forms in InDesign CS6 which is very comprehensive.  The magazine is not available for free.

  • Advice on the construction of a $2,000

    A big thanks to everyone on this forum.  I've been out of the video game for a few years now (PPro CS2 widely used in recent years), and now I'm looking to get back into it.  Capture of return updated on all this has been a process humbling!  Has spent the last two days reading the stickied posts of harm and society and appreciate all their information.

    Basic use will be film documentary style backcountry trips in remote sites, usually through backpacking, and all shooting will be done with a GH2.  Editing will almost all AVCHD, with eventual distribution if all goes well for the web, film festivals and blueray.

    So after some research, I'm confident enough in the construction of a workable CS5 $2000 first machine.  I am asked some tips to see if there are a few improvements that can be made.  Here it is-

    Round - WIN maelstrom SECC(0.8~1.0mm) Black ATX Full Tower Computer Case - $99.99

    Processor - Intel Core i7 - 950 Bloomfield 3.06 GHz LGA 1366 130W - $294.99

    RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 24 (6 x 4 GB) 240 - Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 - $399,98

    Mobo - GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R LGA Motherboard - $199.99

    Video - EVGA 012-P3-1472-AR GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) - $249.99

    Food - CMPSU-850HX 850W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 80 MORE SILVER - $169.99

    Hard - Crucial RealSSD C300 - $134.99 - primary transmission - OS operating system, and programs

    Readers of media - (4) Seagate Barracuda 7200 1 TB 7200 tr / MIN SATA 3.0 Gb/s 3.5 "-drive configured in raid 0 2 discs, with a back up the car and export."

    Optical drive - black pioneer Blu - ray burner BDR-206BKS SATA - $129.99

    Processor cooling - COOLER MASTER Intel Core i7 compatible Hyper N 520 RR-920-N520-GP 92 mm CPU cooler sleeve - $34.99

    Monitor - Asus VE248H black 24 "Full HD - $219.99

    In total, sneaks into about $ 2,000 worth of costs from NewEgg.

    Couple of immediate concerns I have:

    (1) G.Skill is a mark of good memory?  I tried to do some research and it seems that the more profitable.


    (2) sufficient size software SSD drive?  64 gb. should only run production suite CS5 and a few other small programs. I can spend at 128, but looking to reduce their costs, if any.

    (3) raid configuration - I know people from the Board of Directors to advocate a controller.  There is no budget for now however.  I would like to make a raid 0 onboard and have an additional backup, as a drive to export.  By reading the suggestions of evil on the storage, as is feasible - 1 SSD for the OS and software, 2 in raid0 config for the media, for raid 1 drive backup media and one for export to.  What is a reasonable strategy?


    (4) I know that the video monitor is not terrible, but it fits the budget.  Other recommendations in the same price range?

    Thanks for your help!

    -Dan

    Dan,

    An alternative monitor is Samsung F2380, which is the more affordable and much better than the screens TN PVA screen.

    64 GB of SSD is more than enough for the programs and the OS.

    G.Skill Ripjaws are very good sticks.

    Use either 2 separate raid0 arrays or an array of 2 discs raid0 and two separate drives. It depends on a little of your workflow and backup capabilities, what to choose. Take a look at the generic Guide... on the overview tab.

  • The good examples of the construction and analysis of the data in bytes?

    Hi all

    Very soon, I'll have to find a way to build messages to bytes to send to a serial port and a serial port to receive and review to the basis of events out of...

    However, before I delve into the complexities of the serial port communication and VISA, etc... I would just like to see some examples of working mainly with data of bytes.

    I found how to get a digital constant the byte value... the binary representations signed and unsigned, etc..

    However, if I could find a simple example or tutorial just to see how to assemble the byte-code... and how to analyze it, it would prove invaluable for me to study.  I've never really worked at the byte level / binary front... and a few examples with LV would be very practical.

    Anyone know of any good links out there something like this?

    I'll eventually be sending 5 bytes out I need to build... and will receive 9 bytes in, each of which I need to parse out and respond...

    Links or information GREATLY appreciated.  I'm pretty decent analysis of the chains, real expressions, etc... but never worked with the construction and analysis of the data in bytes.

    Thank you in advance,

    Cayenne

    If you are comfortable with binary data, you can use the Boolean charts. Look at the number of table Boolean and array Boolean functions numbers. Instead of masking with an AND, you can easy to use array index to check a bit particular.
