• Best practices for 4 network cards?

  We use Dell 10th gen blade chassis for our ESX environment. We have 2 zFCP cards for storage and 4 NICs for each box. I'm torn about how best to manage these 4 network cards. I wanted to create a separate vmkernel network, but it is difficult to justify using 2 NICs for vmkernel (redundancy). I did team all 4 cards and share them for vmkernel and comments networks (traffic is separated by VLAN). Yesterday 1 of our 4 switches failed, and all the hosts lost connectivity. It makes me rethink our network configuration.

  What others do when they only have 4 available network cards? What is the recommended configuration for network vmkernel and comments?

  vSwitch0:

  Console service and network Vmotion: vmnic0/2 is one 5000mAh for each other

  vSwitch1:

  Virtual Machine Port Group: vmnic1/3 all active

  I hope this helps.

• Best practices for network configuration of vSphere with two subnets?

  Well, then I'll set up 3 ESXi hosts connected to storage shared with two different subnets. I configured the iSCSI initiator and the iSCSI with his own default gateway - 192.168.1.1 - targets through a Cisco router and did the same with the hosts configured with its own default gateway - 192.168.2.2. I don't know if I should have a router in the middle to route traffic between two subnets since I use iSCSI ports linking and grouping of NETWORK cards. If I shouldn't use a physical router, how do I route the traffic between different subnets and use iSCSI ports binding at the same time. What are the best practices for the implementation of a network with two subnets vSphere (ESX host network: iSCSI network)? Thank you in advance.

  Install the most common iSCSI would be traffic between hosts and

  the storage is not being routed, because a router it could reduce performance.

  If you have VLAN 10(192.168.1.0/24) iSCSI, VLAN 20 (192.168.2.0/24) ESX

  MGMT and VLAN 30 (192.168.3.0/24) comments VMs and VLAN 40 (192.168.4.0/24)

  vMotion a deployment scenario might be something like:

  NIC1 - vSwitch 0 - active VMK (192.168.1.10) MGMT, vMotion VMK (192.168.4.10)

  standby

  NIC2 - vSwitch 1 - current (VLAN30) guest virtual machine port group

  NIC3 - vSwitch 2 - active VMK1 (192.168.1.10) iSCSI

  NIC4 - vSwitch 2 - active VMK2 (192.168.1.11) iSCSI

  NIC5 - vSwitch 1 - current (VLAN30) guest virtual machine port group

  NIC6 - vSwitch 0 - MGMT VMK (192.168.2.10) standby, vMotion

  VMK (192.168.4.10) active

  You would place you on VLAN 10 storage with an IP address of something like target

  192.168.1.8 and iSCSI traffic would remain on this VLAN. The default value

  gateway configured in ESXi would be the router the VLAN 20 with an ip address of

  something like 192.168.2.1. I hope that scenario help set some options.

• vSpere 5 Networking of best practices for the use of 4 to 1 GB NIC?

  Hello

  I'm looking for a networking of best practices for the use of 4-1 GB NIC with vSphere 5. I know there are a lot of good practice using 10 GB, but our current config does support only 1 GB. I need to include the management, vMotion, Virtual Machine (VM) and iSCSi. If there are others you would recommend, please let me know.

  I found a diagram that resembles what I need, but it's for 10 GB. I think it works...

  (I had this pattern HERE - rights go to Paul Kelly)

  My next question is how much of a traffic load is each object take through the network, percentage wise?

  For example, 'Management' is very small and the only time where it is in use is during the installation of the agent. Then it uses 70%.

  I need the percentage of bandwidth, if possible.

  If anyone out there can help me, that would be so awesome.

  Thank you!

  -Erich

  Without knowing your environment, it would be impossible to give you an idea of the uses of bandwidth.

  That said if you had about 10-15 virtual machines per host with this configuration, you should be fine.

• Best practices for vSphere 5 Networking

  Hi all

  Given the following environment:

  (1) 4 physical servers, each server has 16 (Gigabit) network interface cards will install vSphere 5 std.

  (2) 2 switches with SAN storage battery function

  (3) 2 Equallogic PS4000 SAN (two controllers)

  (4) 2 switches for the traffic of the virtual machine

  As for networking, I intend create some vSwitches on each physical server as follows

  1 vSwitch0 - used for iSCSI storage

  6 network adapters are associated with IP-hash, multitracks with iSCSI Storage consolidation policy. and storage load balancing is round Rodin (vmware)

  (vmware suggests to use 2 cards for 1 traget of IP storage, I'm not sure)

  2 vSwitch1 - used for the virtual machine

  6 Teamed network adapters for the traffic of the virtual machine, with the hash intellectual property policy

  3 vSwitch2 - management

  2 network cards are associated

  4 vSwitch3 - vMotion

  2 network cards are associated

  You would like to give me some suggestions?

  Alex, the standard set by the storage and VMware is used by dell for their servers and tested sound on their equipment and the publication of the document, it is recommended...

  This sound is the best practice for dell server with this model mentioned in the document to use.

  Hope that clarifies...

• Configuration network ESX 3.5 and Appspeed

  I have 3 vswitches and a few groups of ports for different VLANS. If I want to install AppSpeed on esx 3.5 do I need create another vSwitch, port group and put in mode promiscuity with all the natachasery so I can monitor other vswitches and port groups? Or it walk straight on the box without these configurations and probe handles the network part? Need help please, I want to test so I can buy it and if someone has the best practices or configuration, feel free to share.

  AppSpeed creates groups of new promiscuity port dedicated for the selected vSwitches. Please note that in all cases, it does NOT change the configuration of the physical network adapters or any other port groups existing settings.

• Best practices for vsphere 5.1

  where can I find the doc more up-to-date about berries EQL configuration / best practices with vmware vsphere 5.1

  Hello

  Here is a link to a PDF file that covers best practices for ESXi and EQL.

  Best EqualLogic practices ESX

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../20434601.aspx

  This doc mentions specifically that the storage Heartbeat VMKernel port is no longer necessary with ESXi v5.1.  VMware has corrected the problem that made it necessary.

  If you add it to a 5.1 system it will not hurt.  It will take an IP address for each node.

  If you upgrade 5.0 to 5.1, you can delete it later.

  Here is a link to VMware which addresses this issue and has links to other Dell documents which confirm also that it is fixed in 5.1.

• Best practices for managing strategies of path

  Hello

  I get conflicting advice on best practices for managed paths.

  We are on version 4.0 of ESXi connection to a HP EVA8000. Best practices guide HP recommends setting the strategy of railways handle on Round Robin.

  This seems to give two active paths to the optimized controller. See: http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/4AA1-2185ENW.pdf

  We used certain consultants and they say that the best practices of Vmware for this solution is to use the MRU policy which translates a single path to the optimized controller.

  So, any idea what good practice is best practice? Does make a difference?

  TIA

  Rob.

  Always go with the recommendation of the storage provider.  VMware recommendation is based on the characteristics of the generic array (controller, capable ALUA failover methods, etc.).  The storage provider's recommendation is based on their performance and compatibility testing.  You may want to review their recommendations carefully, however, to ensure that each point is what you want.

  With the 8000, I ran with Round-Robin.  This is the option of creating more robust paths available to you from a failover and performance point of view and can provide performance more even through the ports on the storage controller.

  While I did of the specific tests/validation, the last time that I looked at the docs, the configuration of HP recommends that you configure each IO to the ports in the switch configuration.  This adds the charge to the ESX host, the switch to other ports, but HP claims that their tests showed that it is the optimal configuration.  It was the only parameter I wondered in their recommendation.

  If you haven't done so already, be sure to download the HP doc on configuring ESX and EVA bays.  There are several parameters that you must configure the policy path, as well as a few scripts to help make the changes.

• [ADF, JDev12.1.3] Best practices for maintaining a form validation

  Hallo,

  in my application, I need to create a registration form which contains fields that must be validated (for example they should follow a format like e-mail, phone number, tax code,...).

  If the data inserted by the user are ok, a new record in my custom db table Users will be created.

  I would like to know which are the best practices for maintaining the validation, which means the place where the controls must be made and a message to the user who fills out the form when something goes wrong.

  The best vo or EO or managed bean? Or some controls should be put in the OS, others in the VO and other in the managed bean?

  I would be happy if you could give me some examples.

  Thank you

  Federico

  Assuming you want the validation on the value of the field to any screen data can be entered in (and possibly web services that rely on the same BC ADF) then put the validation on the definition of the attribute in the EO.

  If you want to add a little more friendliness and eliminate some of the network traffic to the server, you can also implement the validation client in your page - for example by using the regular expression validator.

• Best practices for the integration of the Master Data Management (MDM)

  I work on the integration of MDM with Eloqua and are looking for the best approach to sync data lead/Contact changes of Eloqua in our internal MDM Hub (output only). Ideally, we would like that integration practically in real time but my findings to date suggest that there is no option. Any integration will result in a kind of calendar.

  Here are the options that we had:

  1. "Exotic" CRM integration: using internal events to capture and queue in the queue changes internal (QIP) and allows access to the queue from outside Eloqua SOAP/REST API
  2. Data export: set up a Data Export that is "expected" to run on request and exteernally annex survey via the API SOAP/REST/in bulk
  3. API in bulk: changes in voting that has happened since the previous survey through the API in bulk from Eloqua outside (not sure how this is different from the previous option)

  Two other options which may not work at all and who are potentially antimodel:

  • Cloud connector: create a campaign questioning changes to schedule and configure a connector of cloud (if possible at all) to notify MDM endpoint to query contact/lead "record" of Eloqua.
  • "Native" integration CRM (crazy): fake of a native CRM endpoint (for example, Salesforce) and use internal events and external calls to Eloqua push data into our MDM

  Issues related to the:

  1. What is the best practice for this integration?
  2. Give us an option that would give us the close integration in real-time (technically asynchronous but always / event-based reminder)? (something like the outgoing in Salesforce e-mail)
  3. What limits should consider these options? (for example API daily call, size response SOAP/REST)

  If you can, I would try to talk to Informatica...

  To imitate the integrations of native type, you use the QIP and control what activities it validated by internal events as you would with a native integration.

  You will also use the cloud api connector to allow you to set up an integration CRM (or MDM) program.

  You have fields of identification is added objects contact and account in Eloqua for their respective IDs in the MDM system and keep track of the last update of MDM with a date field.

  A task scheduled outside of Eloqua would go to a certain interval and extract the QAP changes send to MDM and pull the contacts waiting to be sent in place of the cloud connector.

  It isn't really much of anything as outgoing unfortunately use Messaging.  You can send form data shall immediately submit data to Server (it would be a bit like from collections of rule of integration running of the steps in processing of forms).

  See you soon,.

• What is the best practice for a 'regular' Server VMware and VDI environment?

  What is the best practice for a "regular" VMware Server and VDI environment?   A single environment (ESXi and SAN) can accommodate two if it is a whole new configuration?  Or even better to keep separate?

  Enjoying inputs.

  Quick and dirty answer is that "it depends."

  serioulsy, it depends really two things budget and IO.  If you had the money for two without then buy two and don't have to host your server environment and the other for VDI desktop, their IO profiles are completely different.

  If this is not the case, try to keep each type of use for their own dedicated LUN.

• What is the best way or best practices for access to the session defined in servelt pipeline component?

  Hi Experts,

  What is the best way or best practices for access to the session defined in servelt pipeline component?

  Please, share your ideas.

  Thank you

  ankV

  As performance is concerned, a lot would depend on as to how your design & logic is implemented and you presented search operations to support the specific performance problems. In fact the operation itself can be not expensive than in-house it is somewhat like a search for key/value of the objects in session/application context name. But having said that, Yes, a potential performance problem could be because it's a synchronized operation. So to avoid searches to be performed during each request, caching the results of a search of a component. And in the majority of cases to solve a 'A' component within your component, you must configure a property reference 'A' in the file properties for your component.
