• Network [vSphere 4.1] load balancing and failover vMotion

  GoodMorning everyone.

  I have some doubts about the configuration of the network for vMotion in vSphere 4.1

  I know that I can activate a single portgroup VMkernel for vMotion on the single host, but can I have this portgroup in a vSwitch with two or more physical NIC attached.

  Currently, I managed to have a vSwtich with vMotion and management of trade wth two NICs (see attachment).

  Both NICs works very well with the recovery for both exchanges.

  I would switch to a vSwitch with multiple network cards and I have some doubts.

  It seems that I could configure it... but the load balancer for vMotion supported on vSphere 4.1?

  And also, have the protgroup of vMotion in a switch with several network cards, is there a way to check what physical nic is currently used by vMotion?

  I am currently under a license from the company.

  Thank you all for your help.

  vMotion for vSphere pre 5 does not support Multi-NIC, in vSphere 5, you can configure several VMKernel enable vMotion and select different Nic Active and load balance between the two vmnic, but unfortunately not in vSphere 4.x

  For the management of ESXi, if you set active on both network adapters, you not to cross any active advantage / standby because it will only use on vmNIC, unless there is still a failure... but 1 vmNIC just because bandwidth is usually not a problem for the ESXi management only.

  So the answer: upgrade to vSphere 5 for multi-nic vMotion and don't worry ESXi management as an active NETWORK card is more than enough bandwidth,.

• Load balancer and the consolidation of NETWORK cards

  Hello

  We recently had to our file VMware Server after a bit nasty failure of his original material.  Since we moved, it mostly worked OK, but we don't get the occational network shares paw when large files are thrown on.

  ESXi host, sure it works use 5Gbit ethernet adapters on the same Virtual Switch.  Looking at the traffic it would seem that all traffic flows in just a single NETWORK adapter and it is not much at all through the others.  Is something that I need to set it up so that it can better load balance between network cards?  Or is it a document anywhere who recommended settings for multiple network cards?

  I found a vDS topic but we have not undertaken more liciencing on most of our servers.

  We run VSphere 4.1 via the Vcentre server.

  Thanks for the help.

  What you say makes a little more sense on what I see.  There is very little traffic flowing through other NETWORK cards, but is perhaps because there isn't any real traffic goes to them.  I thought that VMware may use multiple NICs, if it was required that is why I thought I'd see more data on the other.

  Curiosity is anyway that I can combine NICs for more flow using VMware?

  The load balancing, you can achieve with VMware is not a "real" load balancing, this is more a static distribution of traffic in accordance with the policy, you have chosen.

  You use means that according to the virtual switch port ID the vNIC to the host is connected to a specific bear is chosen. This unique vNIC traffic will use this bear as long as this bear does not fail. In this case the guests more with vNIC, you have the better are used Teddy.

  Other policies can be better for other scenarios. For example, 'Hash IP' uses the source IP address and target to choose a teddy bear. It is a good policy for a server with a vNIC single file and many different communication partners. The 'Source Port' policy route all traffic through a teddy bear so that 'Hash IP' policy would use many Teddy as not what ID port is used, but the communications partners. And a file server must have many of them, more than it has of vNIC.

• ASA Vpn load balancing and failover

  Hi all.

  We have two asa5520 configured as main unit and emergency in failover configuration, and everything works fine.

  Is it possible with this configuration (switch), configure the vpn load balancing/grouping?

  Thank you

  Daniele

  Hi Daniele,

  You cannot run two of them on two firewalls ASA, VPN feature load balancing or failover functionality.

  Where you need to use the two feature, you must use more than three ASA firewall, two first ASAs will work as the failover and the ASA third will work as cluster VPN for them, the following example uses four firewalls:

  ASA1 (active FO) - ASA2 (TF Standby)

  (VPN virtual master)

• Load balancing and replication between two ESX servers

  This point is covered in another post last month, but I want to assure you that I am

  erase before ordering anything.  We run a VMware

  Server (ESX Server 3.5 Enterprise version).  I have about 12 VM

  running on the server. The server is connected to via fiber channel to

  a Clariion drive Bay.  We backup each virtual computer inside the virtual machine, not outside in

  it.

  I want to buy an additional VMware Server which

  provide redundancy. The second server VMware will also point the

  Bay of same discs (shared storage).  It will store some VM as well.

  What

  I want to do is to have two servers balance between them.

  Also, I want that there return replication while is a server

  Dies, it will be responsible for all virtual machines.

  What I have

  read, we need to use a combination of VMware HA, DRS and VMotion to make

  all it - OK?  I intend to buy another license of the VI3 enterprise as well as a permit for VirtualCenter Foundation.  Finally, if I have company for both servers ESX licenses and

  VirtualCenter, which gives me VMware HA, DRS and VMotion

  capacity?  I appreciate any guidance on this.

  I don't think you can automatically load the balance between the two boxes.   the shared storage ensures guests / VM have the current data available.  No actual replication necessary.

  Just take your Hardest hit of VM and split them between the two hosts.

  On VMotion?  It is much easier to run just a host with a failure to another identical host.    I have not attemptied it in any other way quite a few facilities.   Do you think that your host is running out of gas?   I used to think that as well, but I'm surprised how much any given host can be loaded up without experiencing consitantly performance problems.    If they are windows?  You can check how the VM is performing pretty easy with the Windows performance tools.  All this with low end Iscsi San, I can only imagine how fiber of rocks on the performance.

• Difference between the Port ID of the load balancer and MAC?

  There are three strategies for load balancing in 4.0 (one more now in 4.1):

  Function hash IP route

  Route based on the originating Virtual Port ID

  Route in function interference source to the MAC

  I think that I understand perfectly the "IP hash" and how it relates to switches, but what really is the difference between 'source MAC' and 'Port ID'?

  They seems both to do something very similar, which is attached a VM to a physical network card. Why someone should choose the CBC MAC and why the Port-ID? Is there a difference in the way that traffic will extend that could be interesting, when you do a design?

  Hello.

  To simplify, to really all boils down to the formula used to distribute traffic natachasery.

• Virtual Storage Manager - can't change instant planning time interval with vSphere Web Client

  Hello

  I try to activate Virtual Storage Manager schedules-model for a data store using vSphere Web Client. Everything works fine, but I can't change the time interval of planning of the snapshot. He remains at 12:00 midnight to 12:00 midnight. I can't change it manually or by dragging the bar.

  I tried with IE9, IE11, newer Chrome browsers. And with Flash versions 15 and 13-. Same mistake.

  I've added the URL of Sites you trust with weaker security settings - no help.

  Y at - it a bug or something else I can try?

  I just talked to Dell support on my problem and this is apparently a known issue with local Europe\UK.  The similarity of our problems might be useful - workaround for me was to settle the Locale\Regional from my PC, where I'm doing it in the United States.  Not the time zone or other settings, to control panel, then "Region and language", then on the first tab, 'Format' box should be set to "English (United States).  Close browsers, start again and it worked for me.

  Might be worth a try if you're not already in US format. (mine was in the United Kingdom).

• Can I load my Atrix 4 G with the SPN5334A?

  Thus, the charger supplied with my phone is the FMP5504A / SPN5504A. On the other hand is listed:

  SPN5504A power supply Motorola

  Model: FMP5504A

  Input: 100-240V ~ 50/60 Hz 0. 2A

  Output: 5.1V ~ 850mA

  With this in mind, can I use my old Motorola bluetooh charger to charge my phone?

  Power supply Motorola SPN5334A

  Model: FMP5334A

  Input: 100-240V ~ 50/60 Hz 0.15 a

  Output: 5.0V ~ 550mA

  You can use it, but with two oppositions:

  1. It will load more slowly (because it is vs 850ma 550ma)
  2. Associated with the first, if you turn on a bunch of stuff hungry power (for example google maps with active GPS + wifi + music or youtube etc) it actually may not be able to charge the phone.

• How can I remove Vista and replace it with XP on a Dell laptop without losing my partition to factory?

  Vista has conflicts and no current update on my laptop and the mouse keyboard, so it is erratically. Since an upgrade of Vista has been added to my laptop, it has been in place. The cursor seems to have a mind of its own and I can't change the mouse settings. There is not an update to Vista since the device mouse or keyboard. After countless hours of lost looking for a solution, I decided to give up the garbage of Vista and I refuse to pay more money for the upgrade to Windows 7. So I want to go back to XP, but I can not install XP with the installation disc that came with the laptop. It stops the installation and tells me that I have a newer version of Windows. What I read, I have to do a clean install, but I want to do, so I do not lose the hidden partition that has been installed by Dell. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've used Windows years but this abortion of Vista is too heavy for me. And it's like cancer, I can't seem to get rid of it! Time to think about a Mac soon, I guess.

  A clean install will go to the C:\ drive and does not affect your partition recovery disk D:\ (as long as you tell him installed on C:\ assuming the disk that is the drive of the current system and disk D:\ is the recovery disc).  Note that, with a clean install you will lose all your data (everything on the partition - not everything on the disc if it has more than one partition) then you should backup your data first.

  Here is more information on the operation of a clean install: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_install_03.asp.

  Frankly, I would transfer this question in Forum Windows Update: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where the people who specialize in Windows Update issues will be more than happy to help you with your problem.  Perhaps, it can be fixed without the need to resort to the downgrading to XP (and these people would be able to help as best as we).

  Keep in mind that Mac have their own set of problems - different from Windows, but they are not without problems (and you probably have some software that works with Windows and it would be a shame to lose that).  You just need to help solve your problem (or, if you wish, to return to XP which is probably more stable than Vista).

  I hope this helps.

  If you have a sound card that fits into the PCI slot, it looks like this modem is in, then Yes, you should be able to remove and add the sound card. Please keep in mind that the motherboard has a built-in audio chip. He works? If so, you may need to check if your model BIOS has an option to disable audio integrated.

• vRA 7 load balancing with embedded active / standby vRO

  I have a vRA environment 7 with vRA HA devices that have integrated the vRO. I want vRO to an Active/Passive configuration, but when I do the load balancer declares the node with the vRO vRA Eve out of service.

  It seems that between 6.2 and 7 that VMware has changed the vRA health check to watch/vcac/service/api/health instead of/vcac/services/api/status. This new target now fail because it shows a service as in offline mode. While it is fairly clean and is probably better than the old health check, it kills the idea of an active configuration / standby vRO.

  Any ideas on how I can get around this? Thank you!!

  The problem that you are facing is that devices of internal load balancing is managed by HAProxy. I don't have * think * that it promotes health checks, this is why active/active approach for vRO. I suspect that if you want to use Active/passive, you will need to switch to external devices.

• The order of failover and load balancing

  Hello

  I have the following scenario. An ESXi with 4 Gbps vmnic. The questions are:

  (1) if I have a group of ports configured for 'Route based on the original virtual Port code' in the policy of balancing load, and for the same port group I the option button 'Override switch failover command"checked, where I set up 3 of the active adapters vmnic, as well as the other vmic remaining as unused adapter, the ESXi uses the policy that I have configured (in this case 'Route based on the original port code') between the three vmnic load balancing marked as active? Or he uses them in the order that they appear in the section active cards?

  (2) Suppossed, I configured the four physical switch ports in an etherchannel group to use 'Route based on the IP hash' load balancing policy. In this situation, then I configured for a certain group of port to only used two active adapters and two others as unused? In this case, ESXi should balance the load using the method hash IP but only in two active adapters? Or it is a misconfigiuration and I should not configure my nic teaming in this way?

  (3) the official setup guide says "NOTICE on IP requires the physical switch be configured with etherchannel. For all other options, etherchannel must be disabled. ». How can I I configured my virtual network, if I have a few groups of political ports based on the hash of the IP to use load balancing and another uses 'Route based on the original port code. This is the case when I for example have two management ports using the same vSwitch with four vmnic (where they are configured as an Etherchannel in the physical switch). I would port one or several groups for virtual machines that use the IP of the hash method of balancing the load and vmkernel ports por management uses only a single adapter active with no back and as "based on the source port ID" load balancing as best practices said.

  Now, the four vmnic is the same for all traffic. The physical switch ports must be configured in an etherchannel group because certain groups of ports will use the method of IP hash, but others are not. The configuration guide I said SHOULD NOT use etherchannel if I won't use the hash IP method, but I'LL use it, but only in groups of one or more ports.

  Maybe I do not share the same vmnic from this situation.

  Finally, it's a philosophical question. What is the difference between 'The route based on the source port ID' and the 'road based on the source MAC Hash' load balancing policy? What is the purpose of the second? It is assumed that if I had two different MAC address in a virtual machine, it would be because I had two different virtual cards inside the virtual machine, which would be connected to two different port ID in the vSwitch, I can use the first strategy (based on the original port code). In other words, which would be the case where I had the traffic entering the same vSwitch but port ID with different source MAC address, so I should chose the method to distinguish the Source MAC address load balancing traffic?

  Thank you.

  Guido.

  (1) as long as you override vmnic only and don't change the policy for this group of ports, he uses the policy configured at level vSwitch and use the selected interface 3 with this policy

  (2) it should work, I don't think it's a problem for the switch receive packets on a subset of the aggregation. I do not think that Etherchannel is supported (IIRC, it is a Cisco proprietary protocol, VMware only supports LACP passive, which corresponds to the Port channel world Cisco.) Trouble me if I'm wrong!)

  (3) I think that's all right, as I have explained in 2), there is no special negotiations with the consolidation of VMware, the important thing only I know is to configure the port on the side of the switch channel if you decide to use the IP hash (that will lead to important questions)

  4) (self labeled) I think it may differ in some cases individuals, as when the operating system use the same MAC address for both NICs (aggregation in-vm) or if you advertise several MAC address for the same network card (ESX in a VM for example would make for its VM). Such cases differently affect this setting.

  That is the right question, and I'm curious to know if someone wants to develop on it!
