Best Design with 8 (4 x1GB + 4 10GB) physical network interface cards

I'm about to deploy a new vSphere 5.1 (Enterprise license) environment and would appreciate a lot a little comments to some best practices and real-world experiences. For our cluster HA, we will use Dell R720 with Broadcom 5720 girls cards four ports 1 and 2 Intel X 520 DA connection to a Dell EqualLogic SAN PS6110XV (using the Extension Module from Dell for MPIO Multipathing).

(Note: the iSCSI network will use two switches Dell PC8024F and the 'public' network will have two switches Juniper EX3300).

I need to design best perf for HA, iSCSI, vMotion, and I would like to know tips for this design. Pls help me!

Nice piece of Kendrick on this same track.

Really a lot of ways to skin the cat

  • Best design for the use of 8 physical network interface cards on a 5.1 ESXi host

    I have 8 physical network cards to work with on and 5.1 ESXi host using Enterprise Plus license.  I need to repair the following traffic:

    Management traffic

    vMotion traffic

    Virtual machine traffic (probably 2 natachasery will suffice for this)

    NFS traffic

    Won't fault tolerance.  Natachasery-how much should I dedicate to NFS, vMotion, and traffic management?  What failover policy I should use (active / active) (active / standby) for each?

    It is business more licensing and vSphere distributed switches are used.

    Thank you

    Yes, I would put the backup in the switch as well as management traffic and vMotion is they use vSS or vDS. The other option would be to reduce your vDS for NFS traffic of 4 natachasery 2 natachasery and then or to add to the existing vDS that contains management and vMotion VM traffic to add it extra bandwidth or create a new vDS with these 2 natachasery. But at the point of my original thought around creating a vDS is based on all of my bandwidth throwing together and then cut it but I want it and do not have to trade around natachasery after the fact. But there are so many different ways to achieve that is the fun part.

  • A physical server with 2 NETWORK interface card using a virtual machine as IPS (transparent VM) and everything should work normally?

    Hello guys.

    Is there a diagram that I made, using for my self this question.

    2067917_1.png

    As you can see, I have a physical server with 2 NIC I don't want to use a VM (with Snort) as IPS / IDS system for inbound traffic on the management of VLANS. Is it possible to use this VM in this way (as an IPS/IDS, VM with two NIC without any routing work?)? Maybe you have a suggestion, how can I achieve this, as easy as possible? Maybe you have an opinion, what OS unix system do I use?

    Thank you for your time and your answers. Any useful information is much appreciated.

    Yes, it should work. You need to look out for, it's that the 'outgoing' NIC is not connected to the same physical switch as the entrant and that there is no link between these two physical switches, because this would create a loop of layer 2 on the network.

    I haven't worked much with Linux, but I don't see that you would have a problem to find some Linux/Unix with the possibility to bridge two network cards and use some software IPS to inspect the traffic.

    Hello

    WiFi or LAN connection works?
    Well you are sure that your modem or router WLan is configured correctly?
    You should check this first!

    If you are 101% sure that this router works and has been configured correctly, then you should check the configuration of the firewall on your laptop.
    Check to see if any other software that is installed on your laptop does not have the laptop to connect to the router.

    Then the card Wlan and lan card REGULARITY in Device Manager.
    Reinstall the driver Wlan and LAN driver if the two cards are not recognized correctly

  • URGENT! Two physical network with two subnets completely - no bridges - interface cannot connect both

    This is my urgent problem:

    I have a physical machine with two physical network interfaces. I have a VMWARE player and a virtual machine that must use cards on two different subnets, a public directly to the router and an intranet within the company.

    How can I just say a net card to go on this submarine and the other on the public void?  Go crazy. Help, please.

    Thank you

    P.

    Use the virtual network editor VMware Player, create an additional bridged VMnet and bind each bridged to a different physical network... card VMnet on a virtual machine, create a virtual network adapter on each subnet and bind each virtual network adapter to an another VMnet jumpered.

    For additional help with virtual network Editor, check this KB: VMware KB: using the VMware Workstation virtual network editor

  • 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.

  • Crush mapping in the repository of the design with the last of them deployed

    Hello

    We have a unique design with 2 runtime environment (Dev, Prod) environment. When I log in the control center of Dev, I see that it is a 'changed' mapping It has been changed by an employee who works here and I have no idea of what have been changed.

    There is no specific request or the obvious reason for this change, and given that it's a huge and conplex mapping, I would like to replace (or "retroactive") mapping in the environment of design with the last deployed in Production.

    But I don't know how or if it's possible... ! At least if I could compare the 2 version, I could say whether the change is good or not.

    For me, it's a showstopper for the incoming changes...
    There is no snapshot and I use OWB 10 g 2 for 1 month now, so this is all new to me.

    I really need help on this one...!
    Thank you!

    At best what you could do is diff the PLSQL generated package to see if you can spot the difference.

    See you soon

    The error is

    need more product activation.

    Adobe Acrobat has been installed as part of a suite. in order for adobe acrobat, please start another component of this suite such as adobe photoshop

    I don't want to reinstall all CS4 CS5 is already installed. I want to just install and activate Acrobat 9 Pro

    I was able to activate this by installing Dreamweaver CS4. I hope that the components of the CS4 (e.g. bridge) will not interfere with the CS5 installed components previously.

    The problem is apparently solved.

  • When I design with Muse and export in HTML, Dreamweaver is not attached style sheets. All the answers?

    When I design with Muse and export in HTML, Dreamweaver is not attached style sheets when I open files with Dreamweaver. Basically when I draw with Muse files do the same with Dreamweaver. Is this a bug? Workaround solutions?

    Then you will need to install a local server and use live view.  It is not that DW is not making it or is not endearing, it's this Muse has decided to use the treatment side server to include who is authorized to practice CMS when you combine the style sheets for better caching, but it is not really ideal for a single style sheet.  It is a shortcoming of the Muse and one of the reasons why many professionals will return the product at present.  That and you can't actually buy Muse, so unless you are on a subscription you haven't.  It seeks to fill a void for those who do not want to invest in professional design like Fireworks, Photoshop or Dreamweaver tools, but want a cross between them to make drawings.  If you have invested in the right subscription and want a better way to make models I highly recommend this coding yourself and using Fireworks or Photoshop to make the layout for you.  There is an excellent tutorial on the devnet (3 pieces) to show you how its done ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt1.html ).  Once you start using Fireworks or Photoshop, you'll realize how limited Muse is in the design.

  • Is it possible to disable text CSS and design with HTML only?

    I am designing the text html only IE: font, color, size. The only method I know is to highlight the text and then go to insert > Html > text objects. This method is tedious and time consuming.

    I don't no the arguments or reasons as to why I should be using CSS, I'm just looking for a solution to disable the design with HTML and CSS. I use Dreamweaver CS5.

    Thank you

    Paul

    The option to disable CSS has been removed from Dreamweaver CS4. CS5 is the same.

    If you have a strong need for the use of font tags, open the favorite category of the bar/panel insert, right click and select customize Favorites.

    In the dialog box that opens, select HTML in the menu of items available. At the bottom of the list, you can find fonts Tag Editor. Highlight it, and then click the double chevron to move it in the right panel. Click OK to insert the font tag editor in your Favorites.

    You can use tag editor of text fonts with font style tags.

    The alternative is to use the CSS inline styles that can be created using the menu rule target in the property inspector when on the left, the CSS button is selected.

  • ADF is intended for the data base designed with vertical diagram?

    Hello

    I want to know if ADF 11 g is intended for the data base designed with vertical scheme where even the names of columns will be stored in a generic table?

    Thanks in advance.

    Published by: user8925296 on April 12, 2010 10:06

    The short answer is no...

    What do you call a 'vertical plan', it's what others have called for a schema of entity-attribute-value or universal data model. I advise you to do some research open minded on these types of patterns if you develop an application before continuing. Great sound in practice, they have very inherent ease of use and scalability problems.
