Call "HostNetworkSystem.UpdateVirtualSwitch" for the error of the object when you attempt to add the second NETWORK card

Hi there - first post here, so please be nice :-).

We are just trying to place an ESX4.1 own deployment in our environment (no previous installation of VMWare) to our main office, using Dell M610 and blades blades M600 to what would become our DR - two sites site hosting VMS on Equallogic iSCSI SAN disks.

I configured 4 of our blade M610 with ESX 4.1 successfully and they work very well.  These blades have double NIC onboard, and after the initial installation of ESX, I could go to the virtual switch and add in the second NIC like vmnic1 (because one had already been detected during installation).  This fine workd for 4 guests on the M610 blades.  However, I came today to make my first installation on one of the old M600 blades and I encountered a problem.

Installation went without any problems and I was able to add the host in my vCenter.  I can change all the settings without problem (created the Port of VMKernal for my connection to SAN iSCSI etc, but as soon as I try to add in the second NETWORK card, he paused for a while, and then I get the following error message:)

Call 'HostNetworkSystem.UpdateVirtualSwitch' of object 'networkSystem-56 "on vCenter Server"VCEN01." ournetwork.local"failed. (network name has been changed for post).  When this happens, it locks up again for several seconds, and when the system returns, I can no longer communicate with the ESX host (Observer of events in vCenter watch 'host is not responding' and I find that I can not ping the host unless I reboot it.)

If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it that I don't want to proceed down to the line with our Installer if theres an underlying issue and I need to redo everything.

Concerning

EFIN.

Do you get the same error when you try to add the network adapter by using the command line?

  • CMS OVA, adding the second NETWORK card breaks the first NETWORK card

    I'm testing CMS 2.0 and when I try to add a second NETWORK card in VMware, he immediately interrupts the first network card.  As soon as the loading of the image, the first NIC fails.  Even if I disable iface b, it will allow all traffic where iface one.  If I stop the application, remove the NETWORK adapter and run it back again, it works very well to the iface one.

    I want to test the public face with box feature, but I can't if I can't add a second network card.

    How do you add the second network interface and interface you add?

    You should add 'VMXNET3' type if you use VMWare, if you chose something else, you invalidate your license, see section 3.3 of the virtualized CMS 2.0 Setup Guide for deployments.

  • Add the second NETWORK card to vSwitch

    I'm working on trying to add to install a second NIC physical to the vswitch which is installed by default when ESXi. I use the code below, but when I run it, it disconnects in fact the main physical network card and of course, I then lose connection. I tried different varients of this and even finished by adding a port of vmk, which I didn't do. I just want to add the second network card as a standby card network.

    #Add second NIC to the virtual switch
    $nic = Get-VirtualSwitch -VMHost $currentHost -Name "vSwitch0"
    Set-VirtualSwitch -VirtualSwitch $nic -Nic vmnic1
    

    The cmdlet Set-VirtualSwitch accepts a string array as the value of the parameter - Nic. So you should be able to:

    #Add second NIC to the virtual switch
    $nic = Get-VirtualSwitch -VMHost $currentHost -Name "vSwitch0"
    Set-VirtualSwitch -VirtualSwitch $nic -Nic vmnic1,vmnic2

  • How to associate a VM for the second network adapter on the host

    Hello

    I have created a virtual machine and added a NIC that matches the first physical network adapter on the host Machine. I then added a second NETWORK adapter on the host. I would like to create the second network adapter on the same VM and map it on the second NETWORK adapter on the host. How can this be achieved.

    When I use the "Add Hardware", I does not enumerate the physical network adapters on the host to choose and assigns a VM mac address.

    Kind regards.

    VMware customers use virtual network adapters if you need for a great, a second deck on the host card, but how to do this depends on the host OS.

    For Linux, just run vmware - config.pl and choose to create a second bridged network adapter, choose the right pair of physics.

    For Windows, run vmnetcfg.exe (as an administrator), disable the automatic bypass and then manually fill the two physical network adapters (for example to create two VMnet adapters * with each mapping to a different physical NIC). You also need to restart the host VMware Agent services and VMware Server Web Access before these virtual cards will be available for use.

  • IMAQdx mind traffic on the second NETWORK card

    Hello!

    My system:

    -Labview 2011 SP1 with NO Vision and IMAQdx

    -Windows 7-32 bit

    -2 NICs (Intel Pro 1000)

    On a NIC (subnet: 192.168.0.x - Intel pro driver) a sick Ranger is connected. Store it works with Studio of sick Ranger or the Labview Toolkit Ranger.

    On the second NIC (subnet: 192.168.1.x - Realtek dreiver) a Vision of Basler GigE camera is connected. It works with the grun80 pylon Viewer and IMAQdx GigE functions in Labview.

    If I start the acquisition of two cameras using the Studio store and Basler pylon Viewer (no Labview) both cameras acquire images at high speed without any interference.

    If I use Studio Ranger or LV-store Toolkit for the Acquisition of store it works selection UNTIL I have start a Labview VI containing the screw IMAQdx to acquire images of the Basler camera. As soon as the VI performs stops Acquisition of Ranger and Ranger loses the connection.

    I guess the driver IMAQdx is somehow interfering with two network cards.

    Suggestions how to exclude one of the NICs of IMAQdx driver or can someone tell me what is happening on the network driver layer when loading of IMAQdx?

    The purpose of my request to LV, is that both cameras can be used at the same time!

    Thank you!

  • How to add the second network card?

    A server (VMware ESX 4.1) works well with a network card. Since I want to add a virtual switch, I need to add another network card. So I inserted into a PCI slot and reboot ESX. But the ESX does not. I need to reinstall ESX to let him find this network adapter?

    Thank you very much for the help.

    The added network adapter is Gigabit PCI Desktop Adapter, D-Link DGE-528 t.

    I tried several model D-link years... None of this can work.

    Use a broadcom or Intel card (and listed in HCL).

  • How to use the second network card physical to Virtual Machine?

    Two queries. We strive to VMware Server 2

    How to increase the speed of the network of the guest operating system.  Currently it shows 10 Mbps.

    If we have a second physical network adapter, is it possible to use it for the guest OS. ?

    We are noobs, please give links to this info or explain in steps.

    Welcome to the VMware forums communities.  You may be able to fix your problem by changing the type of virtual NETWORK adapter and install VMware Tools.  See this KB article - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1002456.

  • Recommendations for the 2nd guest card, ESXi 4.1?

    I use ESXi4 in a House on a low-cost Dell image headless server. I would like to add a second network card PCI host - maybe an Intel PRO/100 and PRO/1000 off eBay - which is supported on ESXi 4.0 and 4.1.  My PCI adapter only supports 32-bit cards.

    Performance is not a serious problem, but I would like to find an adapter for under $ 25. I'll use this to experiment with different firewall, routing, and VPN between the WAN configurations (for example: DSL) and LAN.  It's more convenient and more 'green' to keep all my virtual machines guests on a single box, but references the list of cards supported against froogle and Bay takes more time than I expected.

    recommendations, pointers, and personal experience would be appreciated...

    I think the most common whitebox NIC's Pro 1000 GT.  ESX(I) dropped 100 MBps NIC support so I would avoid this option even if there is a community update driver Pro/100.

  • Configure the 2 network cards in a VM for MPLS LAN and the other for internet

    Dear all,

    I have a HP Server with 2 NIC cards. ESXI 4.0 is installed and 3 VM was created in it. Initially that a NIC card was connected to the path of the LAN MPLS switch and another card NETWORK was not connected to the internet switch port.

    Each VM only had a single NIC in it. So I assigned MPLS IP LAN to ESXI host and VM 3 and everything worked perfectly.

    Now, I wanted to have the internet connection for my 3 VM. So I plugged the 2nd NETWORK card with internet port and added the second NETWORK card to the ESXi using the Vsphere client - & gt; configuration - & gt; Networking option. Now the two nic cards are ponting to the network of the virtual computer.

    I've added 2 network card to all 3 VM and assigned to the internet IP addresses to all of these NICs. order of MPLS and internet work at the same time, I removed the card NIC MPLS entry door and manually routed through route add command. After this MPLS and internet worked well in 1 VM.

    I tried the same thing in 2nd and 3rd VM but it failed. whenever I have add 2nd network card in the virtual machine, the first of this virtual machine network adapter does not work.

    I'm after the right approach? Help, please...

    Kind regards

    If I understand correctly your installation, you connected the physical NIC to two different IP networks.  Then you connected these cards in the same switch-v on the server.

    This essentially fills two different networks at the layer level 2 layer 3.

    You want rather than the two networks remain separated inside the host.

    • create a new v-switch on the host

    • move the internet NIC v-switch

    • Move the second NIC on each virtual machine to this switch

    • Make sure that access to internet VM NIC is one with a default gateway on a virtual machine OS

    • remove the default gateway of the NIC MPLS

    • creating persistent static routes to the NIC MPLS for any affected networks it beyond the same subnet as the NIC itself.  Addresses on the same subnet will be automatically accessible. Just roads for those outside this range.

  • Adding a second NETWORK card on the server HP Proliant ML 350 G5

    I have a new HP Proliant with a guest of Windows 2008.  HP came with two network cards on the MB.  I need double-home this box on both networks, at least for a while, and this server will be the only road between subnets.  It's just a stand-alone installation inset.

    I looked in the settings of the BIOS on the HP and it's a little confusing, but I'm sure that the second network card is active (it lights up when it is plugged).  When I try to add a NETWORK adapter to the configuration of the host, it is as if the second NETWORK card is not present.

    My question is what is the best way to add this second NETWORK adapter and how do I do that?

    I'll need access to the host of the VI Client on both networks - at least for a while.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to configuration-card network in the vSphere client is the 2nd NETWORK card that there are listed?  If ESXi is able to recognize the NETWORK adapter (or other people that you add) they should appear in this list without any config changes and be ready for use.

    What kind of networks are you fill?   If one is considered not secure you could be better not add a management on this network port and prefer to have access via a VPN VM or a secure hosted VM / dual.
