Best practices for the configuration of virtual switches with ESXi

So we have a dish network, no VLAN. I have a total of 6 NETWORK adapters per ESX host... Since there is no Service Console or is it shared with the Prod vswitch here is how I have the configuration of the NETWORK adapters.

Keep in min, we use ESXi 3.5

vSwitch0 - Vmotion - 2 NETWORK cards

vSwitch1 - Vmkernel Port & Machine virtual port group - 4 NETWORK cards

I have attached the screenshot.

Please let me know if you do anything differently?

Dave bang on! the IP of VMotion ESXi will be used for the same purpose. For many ESX on the brain, sorry.

Each VM will get no more than 1 GbE over four network adapters. Once a virtual computer is given a NIC, it will remain on the NETWORK card using the default configuration and it is good because the virtual machines are distributed between the four of them.

  • Best practices for the configuration of HTML5 and native connector at the same time.

    Is it possible to configure the HTML5 and native connector for my users? What would be the best configuration?

    The best way I found to do this is to create 2 web interface sites. one configured for native connector and one for HTML5. I put a URL in the message with a message center as "it is the site of native connector. Click on to HTML 5 ". A similar message with a URL to the site of native connector is on the site of HTML 5.

  • Best practices for the management of user access in ESXi host without 'root '.

    What is the best way to make the management of the user access to the ESXi host after you disable the default root account. Is it better to create induvidual accounts

    Via vCenter or intergrate Active directory or any other specific way.  Please help me to clarify this point. Thanks in advance for your answers.

    With the release of ESXi 5.1 it is possible to create an account on the ESXi host and assign them Full Admin privileged but there are a lot of admins of loggin in each ESXi host and user account creation.

    I would like suggestions to add the ESXi to AD and add the authorization based on domain accounts.

  • 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...

    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 compression of the image in dps

    Hello! I read up on best practices for the compression of the image in dps and I read the asset from the source of panoramas, sequences of images, Pan and zoom images and audio skins is resampled not downloading. You will need to resize them and compress them before deleting the in your article, because the dps do not do it for you. Hey can do!

    So Im also read as he active source of slideshows, scrolling images, and buttons ARE resampled as PNG images. Does this mean that DPS will compress for you when you build the article? Does this say I shouldn't worth going bother to resize these images at all? I can just pop in 300 DPI files 15 MB used in the print magazine and dps will compress their construction article - and this will have no effect on the size of the file?

    And this is also the case with static background images?


    Thanks for your help!

    All images are automatically resampled to based on the size of the folio you do. You can put in any image resolution you want, it's not serious.

  • Best practices for the use of reserved words

    Hello
    What is the best practice for the use of the reserved words as column names.
    For example if I insisted on the use of the word to a column name comment as follows:

    CREATE TABLE...
    VARCHAR2 (4000) "COMMENT."
    ...

    What is the impact on the track I could expect and what problems should I be informed when doing something like that?

    Thank you
    Ben

    The best practice is NOT to use reserved words anywhere.
    Developers are human beings human. Humans have their moments to forget things.
    They will not forget to use the "", or you can force it to use the "' everywhere.
    The two methods are Oracle certified ways to end up in hell.

  • 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,.

  • AppAssure best practices for the storage of machine image

    I work in a regulated environment where our machines are validated before being put into service.  Once they are put in service, changes to the machines are controlled and executed by a process of change request.  We use AppAssure to back up critical computers and with the ' always on ' incremental backup, works very well for the restoration of level file/folder in the case where something is removed, moved, etc..

    Management process asks me to perform once a machine is validated, to take a picture of it and store the image further so that if there is a hardware failure, the validated image can be restored and the machine is essentially to it of original validated state.  In addition to having the image of the machine as soon as it is posted, I need to also back up the machine on a regular basis in order to restore files, folders, databases, etc. on this machine.

    So my question is how to achieve this with AppAssure?  My first thoughts are to perform the backup of the machine Base, then archive it, and then let the AppAssure to perform the scheduled backup.  If I need to restore the computer to the Base image, then I back the Archive and then do the restore.  Is this a feasible solution and practice?  If this isn't the case, please tell us the best way I could accomplish what I want to do.

    Thank you

    Hi ENCODuane,

    You can carry out the plan of action of the WES in the following way

    1. to protect the agent with the name "[Hostname\IP_Base]".

    2. take the base image.

    3 remove the protection agent, but let the recovery points

    4. After these steps, you will have recovery basis point for the agent in the section 'recovery only Points.

    5. go to the agent computer, open the registry and change the ID of the Agent (a sign of evolution will be enough).  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AppRecovery\Agent\AgentId\Id

    for example, of

    94887f95-f7ee-42eb-AC06-777d9dd8073f

    TO

    84887f95-f7ee-42eb-AC06-777d9dd8073f

    6. restart the agent service

    7. from this point core Dell-AppAssure will recognize machine as a different agent.

    8 protect the machine with the name "[Hostname\IP]".

    If after these steps, you'll Base image for the 'Recovery only Points' machine (with the name "[Hostname\IP_Base]" which will not be changed by the update rollup and transfers) and protected the machine with the name "[Hostname\IP]" where the transfers will be made based on configured policy.

  • Measurement on the side time server? Best practices for the turn-based game

    Hello

    What would be the best practice for measuring time in a turn based game?

    I was looking at the timeout of the room, but to use that it would mean that, for each round, I put users in a new room?

    Is there a way where I can measure time serverside and keep users in the same room?

    If so, I could use php, otherwise, we would need java that allows to measure a time race.

    See you soon,.

    Hello

    You can definitely use PHP or Java - we provide integration of server

    libraries for either. I don't know exactly what is the use case, so I can't

    comment on what makes the most sense, but if it is not information which must be

    totally secure, grading on the client can be a viable approach also.
