Can we do vmotion between hosts with load balancing in network cards grouping different strategy.

Hello

We are implementin new host in our Infra and do some vmotions between different groups. A group a host with balancing 'route based on IP hash. " Can we do Vmotion to another cluster where the hosts have different load balancing policies. In addition, if we change the policy on new hosts in furture of load balancing is loss of downtime or a package?

Kind regards

Vikram Kumar

First of all, no problem from VMs one ESX to another, they use different political Multipathing.

Second, if you use IP hash, it means you are using etherchannel (or LACP) on the physical layer - configuration/cancellation of the configuration that almost always require that the uplinks are not used by any VMs, so you have time to synchronize the physical and virtual configuration. It is not a time out, but you need to plan accordingly - all depends on your physical network capacity.

  • Problem with load balancing

    Hello

    I have a model SAN SUN 7117 and ESXi server in a HP DL120G6. The SAN has 4 of the NIC for iSCSI traffic and the ESX has 4 NIC, but only 2 NIC's for iSCSI. In the SAN, I configured an LACP aggregation with 4 NIC problem is that, in the ESXi, I see that only one NETWORK adapter works.

    What is the problem?

    There are some screenshots of setting anchors.

    If you need any screenshoot credit information ask for me.

    How can I test and check that the load balancing is working correctly?

    Thank you!

    As previous authors have written, so that the load with a vSwitch policies balancing offers you need more targets and virtual machines more (which is not the case that you use iSCSI).

    Hash IP needs more targets to spread the load.

    Check KB 1011340 and this article: http://vmetc.com/2009/08/12/vswitch-with-multiple-vkernel-portgroups-for-vsphere-iscsi-round-robin-mpio/

    You will find a section he describe different storage vendors have different configurations on the LB on iSCSI, but it's the same with all providers:

  • How to list all the vm with more than one network card?

    Hello

    Is it possible to only list all my s vm in my environment with more than one network card?

    I tried using the Get-NetowrkAdapter cmdlet, but could not get the desired results.

    Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Select-Object Name. ConvertTo-HTML-head $a - body "Virtual Machines < H2 > < / H2 > ' | Out-file D:\vms.htm

    Thank you

    Hello, AGFlora-

    Of course, you can do this with the standard as cmdlets:

    ## using standard cmdletsGet-VM | Select Name, @{n="NumNICs"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | Measure-Object).Count}} | ?{$_.NumNICs -gt 1}
    

    Or, if you want to get the results a little (or a lot) more quickly, you can use the cmdlet Get-view as:

    ## fast-like, using Get-ViewGet-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Config.Hardware.Device | Select Name,@{n="NumNICs"; e={($_.Config.Hardware.Device | ?{$_ -is [VMware.Vim.VirtualEthernetCard]} | Measure-Object).Count}} | ?{$_.NumNICs -gt 1}
    

    Those are both by selecting the names of virtual machines and their number of network cards.  Then you can direct this output to Export-Csv, ConvertTo-HTML, what you like.  What to do for you?

  • vMotion between hosts on different subnets

    Before you start, I'm a network engineer, not a server guru, please bare with me

    Is it possible to vMotion a virtual machine to a host on an IP network to another host, on a different IP network?

    Example:

    Data Center 1 - 10.1.1.1/24 with VM in the 10.1.2.0/24 ESX Server

    Same city, different site, binding fiber 10 GB between facilities 2ms latency

    Data Center 2 - 10.2.1.1/24 in the 10.2.2.0/24 with VM ESX Server

    Scenario:

    vMotion a computer virtual network 10.1.2.0/24 to the 10.2.2.0/24 network where virtual machine, on arrival on the ESX 2 data center server, now uses a IP address of 10.2.2.0/24.

    Any guidance towards a white paper or a guide would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you all for your time.

    vMotion is possible between hosts on different subnets, but unless your discussions presented to the virtual machines are on the same subnet, you will eventually drop the virtual machine on a VLAN different and IP addressing will fail.

    There are ways around this, you could script the change of IP address / present several IP addresses of the virtual machine / or reservations DHCP to use, but you will need to ensure DNS etc. records are updated.

    If you have some kind of load balancer, you could in theory balance workloads on 2 IPs hosted on the same VM, to solve the network ip address issues, although in the end, you'll want a VLAN tended to port VM coverage groups.

    Good luck

  • Help setting up MIrage with load balancer

    I'm trying to configure Mirage to use a F5 load balancer. We simply indicated the Mirage server and received an alias DNS and VIP of the N/W team. I not configure Mirage specifically on an F5 before, should it work without the guard dog service settings configured (at least up to a point where the client can connect)? Or the watchdog service must be configured?

    For setting up F5, we recommend enabling SSL and using SSL session ID persistence, also increase value of persistence for a few hours delay Mirage can be long connected and you don't want them to bounce around. A checkup at the service of Mirage generally configure TCP/half opened on the F5 that verifies that the service of the Mirage port is open. Also enable connections unless the method of balance load.

  • Help with the consolidation of NETWORK cards

    I have a box blade with several blades attached to the switch blade.  Read the doc and experimentation, it seems that with the parameter 'link status only' blades will never be aware of the problems of network beyond the connection between the blade and the local switch.

    For example, I have install NIC teaming with:

    Nic0 = active

    NIC1 = standby

    By causing a failure on the way to nic0 (beyond the switch), I lost the connection and the day before not to enter in action.

    Question 1:

    When you never use (is an auxiliary card not almost useless)?

    Question 2: (I really need an answer for this one)

    Assuming that you use Active/active instead of the active / standby * and *.

    You have a network outage where esxi is not aware of the outage * and *.

    Everything which load balancing option you are using happens to try to send down the wrong path...

    The load balancer alogrythm keep trying this wrong way forever and never try the other path?

    NB - I know hadou "beacon probing" option but most ay docs to not use it.

    Thank you

    Hello

    What blade case are you help and who past did they? Various switches have a function for example Cisco Monitoring of State of the link that allows to disable contactors blade interfaces internal fail all the external interfaces. This means that you should never get into a position whereby the upstream link failure will go unnoticed.

  • Help connect customers 2 linux on windows host 7 on 2 physical network cards

    I'm relatively a newbie, but I searched the forum and pulled some of my hair, I need help.

    Here's what I did:

    I have access to the vmnetcfg utility.

    Bypass: I can fill 1 image of the physical NIC 1 and this image connects successfully; the system allows me to fill the 2nd image as well as the 2nd NETWORK card, but the default value in the network address on the first NIC.

I can understand is that 2 NICs are bridged automatically together in 1 bridged network. I want to that I'm not able to reach is 2 separate bridged networks, one on each physical NETWORK adapter

    To have a guest passed on a VMnet you don't need an IP address on the physical NETWORK adapter information.

    You cannot fill two physics to even the VMnet adapters (except you have a driver of consolidation on the host, but this will create a logic board that gets filled then). You must assign a (default) VMnet0 physical NETWORK card and the other to a free VMnet (VMnet2, for example). Each VMnet is a virtual network that can hold a single IP subnet, so it is not possible to have two cards with two different subnets physical in a single VMnet.

    Host networks: is it possible to combine physical network cards with the virtual vmnets?

    Yes. If you assign a physical NETWORK card to a VMnet it becomes another bridge.

    It's OK, but I would like to have 2 separate bridged networks. I tried this but I find myself with a single bridged network.

    Assign a physical NETWORK card to VCMnet0 and the other to VMnet2. This gives you two adapters bridged. In the prompt for the virtual NETWORK adapter choose what VMnet (and thus the bridge) must be used.

    This is a common configuration. Learn more here: http://pubs.vmware.com/ws71_ace27/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=ws_user/ws_net_advanced_linux_secondbridge.html

  • vMotion between hosts 4 ESXi and ESXi 5

    I have a group of ESXi 4.x hosts connected to a vCenter Server 4.1.  I have an another 5.1 vCenter Server Management 5.1 hosts.  I want to move my hosts ESXi 4.1 in my 5.1 vCenter Server and upgrade to 5.1.

    Since vCenter 5.1 can manage ESXi 4.x and 5.1 hosts in the same cluster (KB VMware: upgrading vCenter Server 5.1 recommended)

    Could I add my 4.x hosts to vCenter 5.1 and put them in maintenance mode one by one and then upgrade?  I'd be able to vmotion the VMs between my 4.x and ESXi hosts 5.1?

    The goal is to reduce or hopefully elimate downtime for virtual machines.

    Thank you!

    You can get the upgrade with no interruption of service, if you can:

    (a) connect the storage 4.1 hosts FC 5.1 guests, so it is shared by all hosts

    or

    (b) your license allows you to storage vMotion the VMS to storage of 5.1 hosts

    The normal steps would be:

    -Disconnect the 4.1 hosts the vCenter 4.1

    -Connect the 5.1 vCenter

    -connect storage 4.1 for the 5.1 hosts or Storage vMotion the VMs on

    -vMotion the VMs to 5.1 hosts

    -upgrade the 4.1 hosts
