Best practices for the collection of network adapter for network management

Quote from http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/VMW-Server-WP-BestPractices.pdf :

Aggregation and network management networks:

To set up a team of network for the management network adapter, configure the network adapters in the vSwitch
configuration of the ESX/ESXi host, for configuration active / standby.

The vSwitch must be configured as follows:
The load balancing • route = based on the original (default) virtual port code
• Restore = 'No '.
• vSwitch0: two physical network adapters (for example: vmnic0 & vmnic2)
• Two groups of ports (for example, vMotion and management)

In this example, the management network works on vSwitch0 as active vmnic0 and watches over vmnic2.
The vMotion network works on vSwitch0 as active vmnic2 and watches over vmnic0.

My configuration:

The two active adapters (not active / standby)

Failback = 'Yes '.

Not clear if the network management and vMotion are both active on the same vmnic or different.

Question:

Is smart enough to keep the network management and vMotion on different vmnic SE to ESXi 4.1 or I should change to active / standby config and make sure they are on different vmnic?

It would make a noticeable difference?

Ah yes, you are right in your configuration then.  I would never mix NIC vendors in any type of trunk, I saw things get funky now and then.  VAAI won't give you an advantage when you do a storage vMotion, normal vMotion will always use the same amount of traffic, because memory cards must always be copied between hosts.  It is advisable to devote at least a card NETWORK management and at least one NETWORK adapter to vMotion, if you can have two vSwitches with two NIC each then I would use explicit order of failover you mentioned.  Hope that helps!

  • 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...

    vSphere 5 - 10GbE SegmentedNetworks Ent Design v0_4.jpg(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 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,.

  • 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.

  • Best practices for storing the Logs of the system for all newly improved ESXi hosts?

    Hi people,

    What are the options and best practices for the Logs of the system for all newly improved 5.1u1 ESXi hosts?

    Do I need to have the Syslog server or it can be safely ignored?

    Thank you

    Evening,

    Syslog is preferred, but VMware has provided a collector of syslog on the vcenter installation disc can be installed on any windows host or your vcenter. I can't count the number of times where I had guests CMTF or newspapers lost... Fortunately for the syslog which collects up to the accident.  It is not necessary, but it's really a good idea without any real cost since you can use your vcenter host.

    Here is an article on how to install it:

  • 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...

  • Best practices for deferred loading collection once but ensuring there?

    I'm confused on best practices for managing the "setup" of the form, where I need a remote call to occur once only once for the form, but I also need to make use of this collection for a combobox that will change when different lines in the DataGrid or clicked. Easier if I just explain...

    1. You click on a row in a datagrid control to modify an object (for this example we will say it is an "employee")
    2. The form you go must have a collection of objects 'Department' charged by a remote call. This collection of departments should only occur once, since it is not common for them to change. The departments collection is used to fill a combobox in form.
    3. You need to understand what Department of the comboBox control is the property selectedIndex by iterating over the departments and find one that fits the employee.department.id

    Individually, I know how I can do all of the above, but because of the asynchronous nature of Flex, I'm having hard time setting up things. Here are a few questions...

    My first thought was just put the loading of the departments in an init() method on the employeeForm who would load as an event on the form creationComplete(). On the component page grid when the event handler by clicking a line of fire, I then calls the setup() method on my employeeForm which stands at which selectedIndex to set to the combobox control looking at the departments.

    The problem is the resultHandler for the load of the departments could not returned (so departments could not be there when "setUp" is called), but I can't put my business logic to determine the correct combobox in the departmentResultHandler because it would mean that I would always have whenever I don't want the fire of the call to the remote server object.

    I have to miss a single best practice? Suggestions welcome.

    Hi there rickcr

    It is pretty rough and you need to make a few storage upward, but take a look below.


    http://www.Adobe.com/2006/mxml"layout ="absolute">
       
            Import mx.controls.Alert;
    Import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
               
    private var comboData:ArrayCollection;
               
    private void Setup (): void {}
    If {(comboData)
    Alert.Show ("data are present")
    populateForm()
    } else {}
    Alert.Show ("data not '")
    getData();
    }
    }
               
    private void getData (): void {}
    comboData = new ArrayCollection();
    The result of this call, the installer again
    }
               
    private function populateForm (): void {}
    fill out your form
    }
    ]]>
       

       
       
           
           

           
           

       

    I think this example type of watch you want.  When you first click on tab 2 there is no data.  When you click on tab 2 once again, there is. The data for your combo will be stored in comboData.  When the component gets created first the comboData is not instansiated, just romance.  This allows you to say

    If (comboData)

    This means that if the variable contains your data, you can fill out the form.  Initially it is not so now the else condition, you can call your data and return the result of your data then you can say

    comboData = new ArrayCollection(), put the data in it and remember the installation again.  This time comboData is populayed and is so it will run the method populate the form and you can decide which selected item to affect.

    If it is on a large scale you want to look into the creation of a suitable handler class to handle this, but this simple demo shows you can test to see if the data is different.

    Hope it helps and gives you some ideas.

I received excellent Microsoft Support when it happened before, but since my computer is around 13 years, I think it is not worth the headache to try to remedy. I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, and my computer would not be able to upgrade. Please, can someone tell me how to make it only a word processor without updates or internet connection? (I already have a new computer with Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, it's the computer that I use. The old computer is just sitting there and once a week or so I updates.)

  • What are the best practices for creating only time data types, and not the Date

    Hi gurus,

    We use 12 c DB and we have a requirement to create the column with datatype of time only, if someone please describe what are the best practices for the creation of this.

    I would strongly appreciate ideas and suggestions.

    Kind regards
    Ranjan

    Hello

    How do you intend to use the time?

    If you are going to combine with DATEs or timestamps from a other source, then an INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND or NUMBER may be better.

    Will you need to perform arithmetic operations on time, for example, increase the time to 20%, or take an average?   If so, the NUMBER would be preferable.

    You are just going to display it?  In this case, DAY INTERVAL in SECONDS, DATE or VARCHAR2 would work.

    As Blushadow said, it depends.

  • What are the best practices for a new employee to learn inside the instance of their business of Eloqua as efficiently as possible?

    We have companies everything changed at some point in our lives. And we all go through the process in the first weeks, where you feel new and are just trying to figure out how not to get lost on your way in the mornings.

    On top of that, trying to familiarize yourself with your new company Eloqua instance can be a daunting task, especially if it's a large organization.

    What are the best practices for new employees to learn as efficiently and effectively as possible?

    I am in this situation right now. Moved to a much larger organization. It is a huge task trying to understand all the ins and outs not only society, but also of the eloqua instance, especially when she is complex with many points of integration. I find that most of the learning happens when I really go do the work. I spent a ton of time going through the programs, documentation, integrations, etc., but after awhile, it's all just words on a page and not absorbed.

    The biggest thing that I recommend is to learn how and why things are made the way they are currently, ask lots of questions, don't assume not that things work the same as they did with your previous employer.

    Download some base in place level benchmarks to demonstrate additional improvement.

    Make a list of tasks in the long term. As a new pair of eyes, make a list of things you'd like to improve.

  • Question about the collection of NETWORK adapters for vMotion / VM vSwitch

    Hello

    We use vSphere Enterprise Edition 5.1.

    We also create separate vSwitch for management / vMotion and VM.

    Each vSwitch receives 2 network cards connected to the different switch for redundancy.

    We would like to know is necessary to provide the collection of NETWORK adapters for these vSwitches?  Currently, only enable us NIC Teaming for VM vSwitch only.

    Thank you

    VSwitch vMotion, we have 2 assigned NIC (nic2 and nic6) with 10 VLANS.  NIC2 and nic6 are connected to 2 different physical switches.

    Should I choose

    (1) both are active

    (2) both are assets + grouping of NETWORK cards?

    Question - if there is only 1 VLAN, it seems that NIC Teaming is also not very useful unless we use 2 VLAN (Multi-NIC vMotion).  Is this right?

    If you use Multi-NIC vMotion, there is no need to have two different VLANS, all you need is depending on configuration

    on your vMotion switch, please create two vmkernel port for vMotion with the same VLAN ID, but the grouping of NETWORK cards as below

    vMotion_1 - VLAN ID: 10

    Grouping of NETWORK cards

    vmnic2 - active

    vmnic6 - watch

    vMotion_2 - VLAN ID: 10

    vmnic6 - active

    vmnic2 - watch

  • Best practices for adding form fillable form designer EULA & forcing acceptance by the user

    What are created the best practices for adding a license agreement end user to a form with LiveCycle Designer. and to force the user to signify the acceptance of the EULA before access inside the form?

    Time, I have the kludged with a series of four message boxes (which is necessary because my LICENSE agreement, like most) is too long to fit in a single messageBox).  3 first message boxes have OK/Cancel buttons.  If the user clicks OK, she gets the following message EULA box; If she clicks cancel the form closes.  The last post (fourth) area a Yes/No buttons with the corresponding behavior.  It seems that the work (I think?), but it's ugly.  Is there an "easy way" to do it with a single drop-down dialog box "I agree" and "I refuse" custom buttons?

    I've seen references to Tools like this but they are marked as obsolete or abandoned due to security or other unspecified concerns.

    Best, Blake

    Another way might be, keep the form pages hidden at the beginning and only display a single page that has text box that contains the EULA with accept and refuse to scroll buttons. IF someone refuses, you can keep the rest of the hidden form or display message boxes to force acceptance of the EULA.

    If anyone agrees, you can simply hide the EULA page, and display form pages.

    I hope that used here too scripting required to reach it either.

  • 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.

    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.
