Best configuration of switch for 4 natachasery - 5 ESXi

So, I need to tell my boys to network how I want the configuration of ports (Cisco switches) for 4 natachasery connection to my HP DL 360. I need the vSwitch VM access to 3 different VLAN. I'm NOT going to use vMotion for this.

I guess, I see 2 possibilities and does not entirely undesrstand pros / cons...

First of all, I thought I would split the enet to 2 separate switches cables, but I was told that if I chose that this channel of ports 1 route would be active and 2nd would be Eve. Basically can not paste all 4 cards and divide them. This could reduce the bandwidth, but give me a redundancy using 2 physical switches.

Or I can have all 4 enet cables go to the same switch (etherchannel), but if this switch would die I'm dead in the water, AND I think that EtherChannel mode WE (my network guy preferred LACP) should stay and LACP cannot be used. According... http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 1004048 I think I should also use 'Hash IP' if EtherChannel is used.

So what is the advantage or disadvantages of each channel? Thank you!

This article describes the aggregation of ESX/ESXi links:

  • ESX/ESXi host only supports grouping NETWORK adapters on a single physical switch or stacked switches.
  • Aggregation of links is never supported on disparate networks switches.
  • The switch must be set to perform 802.3ad aggregation of links in static mode WE and the virtual switch must have its defined route based on the IP hashload balancing method.  Ensure that participants of the network adapters are connected to the ports configured on the same physical switch.
  • Allowing each route based on the IP hash without 802.3ad aggregation or vice versa disrupts networking, so you must make the changes to the virtual switch first. In this way, the service console is not available, but the physical switch management interface is, so you can activate the aggregation on the affected ports to restore network.
  • For more information on ESX networking concepts, see the VMware Virtual Networking Concepts.
  • For more information on configuring a VLAN for NIC teaming, see Configuration of VLAN Virtual Switch, switch physical and virtual machines (1003806).
  • To set up the consolidation of NETWORK cards on ESX and a physical switch, see example configuration of EtherChannel / link aggregation with ESX/ESXi and Cisco/HP switches (1004048).
  • The only option for switch vSwitch or vDistributed that can be used with balancing EtherChannel is HASH IP.
  • Do not use tag with IP HASH load balancing.
  • Do not uplinks configure standby or not well obliterated with IP HASH load balancing.
  • VMware takes support only a single Etherchannel by vSwitch or distributed vNetwork (vDS).

In my case with no vMotion and just management and 3 VLAN all about 1 vSwitch I should put them all to active?

Yes, they should all be active, there is really no need passive adapters (that I'm aware of your configuration).

On your physical switches, you don't need to do anything more than what allows a VLAN correct, i.e.: should all etherchannel or a similar montage. Side vSwitch, you must use the default 'Port ID' nic teaming strategy.

  • How to configure the switch for JMS bridge

    Hello

    I tried with the selector option when working with several bridges, here is the scenario that I applied.

    Created five queues ( Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, and Q5 ) and configured JMS bridge Destinations with each queue with the factory of unique connections ( CF1, CF2, CF3, CF4, and CF5 ) and baptized as D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5.
    Then created JMS JB2 bridges with D1 source and destination as D2. Similarly the JB3 as D1-D3, as D1-D4 JB4 and JB5 as D1-D5.
    And sector for each of the JB2 JB3 and JB4 JB5 as two, three, four and five respectively and reboot after the changes.

    Now I expect the following scenario to work
    By pushing the message to Q1/CF1 with two in the content of the message, so wait for the message to be delivered to Q2/CF2 through JB2, but messages is not moved by JB2.
    Similarly, message pushed to Q1/CF1 having three in the content of the message, so waiting for the message to be delivered to Q3/CF3 by JB3, but messages is not moved through JB3. Similar behavior for other messages with four and five in the content of the message.

    In the bridge configuration, selected QOS as "Atmost" - once.

    Note: all configurations were conducted in the same field and the WL version is 10.3.6.0 *

    The example message I am pushing to Q1/CF1 say 'two Test Data'* and expect to reach the queue Q2/CF2

    JMS selectors work normally om jms headers and not on the message.

    In my previous post, I see that WebLogic provides an extension "SELECTOR xpath" in this area, although I recommend using standard selectors when possible. See my previous post for more information on the syntax of the selector, etc.. The best resource on selectors is the javadoc for javax.jms.Message (http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/5/api/javax/jms/Message.html).

    What is the best HDMI switch for use with Apple tv 4. I heard some do not work and the automatic switch has problems because Apple tv is still using power?

    I installed on a cutting and not because the automatic switch works because it isn't always. It came with a remote control that is almost as good, so don't mind the fact that automatic switching does not work well. The reason why I chose cutting is because it was the first device that gave me the good picture and sound quality with my AppleTV, the Xbox 360 and the PS4. (Don't ask!)

    I'm looking for advice on HW and SW recommendations for a small business.  We have 15 users, 20 computers and 3 printers.  I currently have a single Windows Server 2008.  I want to run a domain controller main for all users, file sharing, print server, possibly Windows Update Center and eventually MS Exchange.  I am trying to decide the best configuration of HW with a fairly cheap budget.   I currently have 1 I7 based server with 4 GB of Ram, several IBM servers, P4 306 m (I have 4 +), and a lot of hard drives (all in a half rack).  I also need a decent backup system.

    Can anyone recommend the best configuration of HW player and hard?  Should I analyze server roles?  With respect to the SW, I'm a non-profit and use Windows Server 2008 (at a discount)

  • LAPN300 - the best configuration for 3 access points, while using the same SSID

    Hi all

    What is the best configuration for 3 x LAPN300 located in various places around my house of 3 floors, access points if I want just one SSID?

    I did some initial research which suggests that I can use the same SSID on all three, as long as they are on different channels. 1, 6 and 11 for example. In theory, then, as I wander around the House the client machine must auto swap to the AP with the signal stronger.

    What do you think? What is the best way or do, or could suggest you something else?

    As an aside... If I decided to create a second SSID for the guests at home, I would also want to add wireless isolation to this SSID. How would that be managing the DHCP server on the local network? How would be asked to connect to the SSID has never get an IP if they have been isolated from other clients on the local network?  Besides, how they see the router? The ANNUAL lets you specify exceptions to this isolation for this feature?  Alternatively, as I suspect, is the right isolation feature isolate them from other WLAN, not the LAN clients customers?

    I did some testing and configuration of the AP with the same SSID and security will do what you want. Don't worry about setting the channel because the auto channel setting works with these devices and automatically adjusts the spacing between the appropriate channels.

    Recommendation of the VPN_user is what you need if you want to isolate the SSID comments from the rest of your network clients.

    Isolation of SSID of the AP will guard only wireless devices to communicate with each other on the same SSID on which it is enabled.

  • Best Configuration for running adobe Premiere Pro CS3

    I wouldn't do 1 or 2 even if it is possible.

    3 won't be necessary if you use uncompressed images.  With any standard camera format, a single modern drive will be more quickly, even for multiple streams of data.

    Work terribly hard to get a RAID 0 array there somewhere, but man, it is really not necessary in most cases and may even be a bad idea for a good number of cases.

  • Implementation of QOS for on multiple switches for two VLAN

    afternoon all that I was looking for a little help in configuring QOS for two local area networks VIRTUAL, I created. These will be for voice traffic vlan 22 and traffic video vlan23. I also have three other VLAN for pc, wireless devices and our cnc machines. We have 5 switches which are all SG30028P with a single switch making the intervlan routing (Layer 3-powered). all switches are resources shared by the main switch and ive been through the guide written on how to do it on a single switch, which I think is layer 3.

    could someone help me with what I want the video and voice to take precedence over the rest of the traffic

    best regards Patrick

    Right, this way, you can give priority to IP or MAC address.

    No, there is nothing different, only one review of the routing. As the L3 switch can make local routing decisions, the placement of the ACL can vary. In an L2 environment, all packages are transferred to the router, then back down the network to the local destination, so you can clear an ACL on the uplink.

    Since you have a L3 switch, you can practice the same, empty an ACL on the link downstream for L2 switches for all traffic subject to the ACL. Any connection to the L3 switch, you can of course apply an ACL to the uplink router to get all notice of incoming traffic correctly. You can also apply a policy on port source interface to get the note as soon as traffic hits the switch.

    QoS policy is the concept of an ACL, you want it is the closest to the resource. If you apply a QoS policy an uplink upward, QoS will be marked up when it hits this port. Not before. So it should be applied closest to the device as possible. Many times, local QoS is not as important, until it starts to get to the router. As most Cat 6 environments can generally manage all local traffic. So, depending on the number of devices and the amount of traffic, a decently robust network can handle all traffic local then you just give priority to the uplink remarks to ensure that what is important is first.

  • What is the best configuration of network with 4 NICs (2 x 10GB and 2 x 1 GB)

    It's my current setup:

    Thank you

    Dan

    You talk about the c3000 blade enclosure, aren't you?

    For a solution tolerant when disaster strikes, you will go probably with:

    VSwitch0 has.)

    Physical NIC: vmnic0 (1 Gbps) + vmnic2 (10 GB/s)

    (A.1) VMkernel Port Group (network management)

    vmnic0 = standby

    vmnic2 = active

    (A.2) VMkernel Port Group (Vmotion)

    vmnic0 = active

    vmnic2 = standby

    Networks of Virtual Machine A.3)

    vmnic0 = standby

    vmnic2 = active

    VSwitch1 B.)

    Physical NIC: vmnic0 (1 Gbps) + vmnic3 (10 GB/s)

    (B.1) VMkernel Port Group (Fault Tolerance)

    vmnic1 = standby

    vmnic3 = active

    -Default - VMware uses round robin to assign a virtual computer to one vmnic.

    So you don't configure port aggregating on the switches.

    You can, however, traffic using if possible VIRTUAL networks, this is why you must configure the ports as junction ports.

  • KVM access - needed to configure the switch upstream?

    I'm short on time, and I'll put up a UCS solution tomorrow for the first time. I have a feeling I'll have problems of access to the console KVM IP subnet.

    Do I need to configure the switch upstream so that the KVM access to the work of the management of VLANS? The subnet KVM stands by the management subnet. I could also set to the same subnet. What is practice here?

    KVM IP subnet must be in the same subnet as the management IP addresses you assign to each fabric interconnect. This is due to the KVM using the versus network ports the FEX upstream to FI ports.

  • Configuration of VLAN for vMotion (ESXi 5.1 update 3)

    Hello

    We use a cluster of ESXi 5.1 updated 3 guests with Enterprise Edition.

    Finally, our network is being upgraded and VLAN will be created for vMotion.  Currently, we use the local network for the management and vMotion (I know that's not good).

    Network administrator asks me to provide information concerning the requirement of the VLAN for vMotion.

    Is there any Document KB I can refer to mentioning that the administrator must put in place in the physical switch and I need to change in each vSwitch for vMotion on all ESXi hosts?

    Thank you

    Belong to your network administrator if it can link your vmotion IP to the same vlan that he will provide den it's possible.

    Otherwise, you will have to go to the configuration of your network administrator. so it can provide you the IP for the ports of vmotion.

Each SAN node will connect to each switch and is located in a LACP/etherchannel link.
