• Cannot install hp 1300 series on the Windows 7 operating system

  I just got a new laptop with Windows 7.  The installation disc contains the operating system is not compatible and that's why it cannot install it.

  I tried to change the compatibility by changing the request of Vista installation file. Still will not work.

  I tried to install directly from the laptop but my printer is not - he is online and says he cannot access at this time. Try again. (I tried again and again)

  I searched for HP PSC 1300 series all-in-one on the HP website and it is not found.

  Help, please.  I don't want to buy another printer when this one works very well (well, he did on my old computer)

  Thank you

• Cisco Nexus 1000v switch

  Hi, I have 2 questions about the Switch Cisco Nexus 1000v.

  First of all, why use it rather than the standard vswitch distributed?

  Second, if an environment currently works using distributed vswitches, what are the impacts and the problems likely to introduce a Switch Cisco Nexus 1000v? Is there a process for the upgrade?

  See you soon

  Here is a comparison for the most up-to-date between the optioins network:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/prod/collateral/switches/ps9441/ps9902/solution_overview_c22-526262.PDF

  The great driver with most of the people running the 1000v I talked to is give visibility to the network team and streamlining changes made to the virtual network environment. In a great organazation with a network operations team, they will create an IVR to route a new VLAN, and then create the new VLAN on all switches distribution and access in the area of layer 2, just 1000v allows them to move forward and it create on the hypervisor using a set of commands that they already know.

• Cisco Nexus 1000V - DMZ - ARP

  Hello

  Thanks for reading.

  I have a virtual (VM1) connected to a Nexus 1000V distributed switch.  The willing 1000V of a connection to our DMZ (physically, an interface on our Cisco ASA 5520) which has 3 other virtual machines that are used successfully to the top in the demilitarized zone.  The problem is that a SHOW on the SAA ARP shows the other VM addresses MAC but not VM1.

  The properties for all the VMS (including VM1) participating in the demilitarized zone are the same:

  • Tag network
  • VLAN ID
  • Port group
  • State - link up
  • DirectPath i/o - inactive "path Direct I/O has been explicitly disabled for this port.

  The only important difference between VM1 and the others is that they are multihomed agents and have one foot in our private network.  I think that the absence of a private IP VM1 is not the source of the problem.  All virtual machines recognized as directly connected to the ASA (except VM1).

  Have you ever seen this kind of thing before?

  Thanks again for reading!

  Bob

  The systems team:

  1. Rebuilt the virtual machine
  2. Moved to another cluster
  3. Configured for DMZ interface

  Something that they got the visible VM to the FW.

  The Cisco NX - OS dialing software

  Software Cisco NX - OS is a data-center-class operating system that provides a high thanks to a modular design availability. The Cisco NX - OS software is software-based Cisco MDS 9000 SAN - OS and it supports the Cisco Nexus series switch Cisco MDS 9000 series multilayer. The Cisco NX - OS software contains a boot kick image and an image of the system, the two images contain an identifier of major version, minor version identifier and a maintenance release identifier, and they may also contain an identifier of reconstruction, which can also be referred to as a Patch to support. (See Figure 6).

• Nexus 1000v

  Hey guys,.

  Hope this is the right place to post.

  IM currently working on a design legacy to put in an ESXi 5 with Nexus 1000v solution and a back-end of a Cisco UCS 5180.

  I have a few questions to ask about what people do in the real world about this type of package upward:

  In oder to use the Nexus 1000v - should I vCenter?  The reason why I ask, is there no was included on the initial list of the Kit.  I would say to HA and vMotion virtual Center, but the clients wants to know if I can see what we have for now and licenses to implement vCenter at a later date.

  Ive done some reading about the Nexus 1000v as Ive never designed a soluton with that of before.  Cisco is recommended 2 VSM be implemented for redundancy.  Is this correct?  Do need me a license for each VSM?  I also suppose to meet this best practice I need HA and vMoton and, therefore, vCenter?

  The virtual machine for the VSM, can they sit inside the cluster?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  In oder to use the Nexus 1000v - should I vCenter?

  Yes - the Nexus 1000v is a type of switch developed virtual and it requires vcenetr

• Nexus 1000v, UCS, and Microsoft NETWORK load balancing

  Hi all

  I have a client that implements a new Exchange 2010 environment. They have an obligation to configure load balancing for Client Access servers. The environment consists of VMware vShpere running on top of Cisco UCS blades with the Nexus 1000v dvSwitch.

  Everything I've read so far indicates that I must do the following:

  1 configure MS in Multicast mode load balancing (by selecting the IGMP protocol option).

  2. create a static ARP entry for the address of virtual cluster on the router for the subnet of the server.

  3. (maybe) configure a static MAC table entry on the router for the subnet of the server.

  3. (maybe) to disable the IGMP snooping on the VLAN appropriate in the Nexus 1000v.

  My questions are:

  1. any person running successfully a similar configuration?

  2 are there missing steps in the list above, or I shouldn't do?

  3. If I am disabling the snooping IGMP on the Nexus 1000v should I also disable it on the fabric of UCS interconnections and router?

  Thanks a lot for your time,.

  Aaron

  Aaron,

  The steps above you are correct, you need steps 1-4 to operate correctly.  Normally people will create a VLAN separate to their interfaces NLB/subnet, to prevent floods mcast uncessisary frameworks within the network.

  To answer your questions

  (1) I saw multiple clients run this configuration

  (2) the steps you are correct

  (3) you can't toggle the on UCS IGMP snooping.  It is enabled by default and not a configurable option.  There is no need to change anything within the UCS regarding MS NLB with the above procedure.  FYI - the ability to disable/enable the snooping IGMP on UCS is scheduled for a next version 2.1.

  
  
  This is the correct method untill the time we have the option of configuring static multicast mac entries on
  
  the Nexus 1000v.  If this is a feature you'd like, please open a TAC case and request for bug CSCtb93725 to be linked to your SR.
  
  This will give more "push" to our develpment team to prioritize this request.
  Hopefully some other customers can share their experience.

• Can not pass traffic with label of vmware virtual switch fabric 10 GB

  Hello

  I need to understand how to move traffic labeled VMware VST to these virtual Fabric switch. Blades IBM HS22 connecting internally to the virtual switch between ports 1 to 14. I use 2 external ports (17-18), one connects to the Netgear switch and another to the other switch to virtual fabric. Did the same on the other virtual fabric switch. My Synology rackstation is configured with LUN iscsi that connect to the Netgear switch and I would like to connect my HS 22 rackstation blades. My main concern is that I can't ping the IP of netgear on the same interface vlan. I can ping my Synology diskstation to the netgear which are in the same vlan. NETGEAR and BNT switches are connected by cables DAC SFP +.

  

  Even VLAN is also configured on Netgear switch. The default pvid is set as 1 on all interfaces, can I disable this? Do I need to use tagpvid-penetration on all interfaces.

• Nexus 1000v VSM compatibility with older versions of VEM?

  Hello everyone.

  I would like to upgrade our Nexus 1000v VSM 4.2 (1) SV1 (5.1) to 4.2 (1) SV2(2.1a) because we are heading of ESXi 5.0 update 3 to 5.5 ESXi in the near future. I was not able to find a list of compatibility for the new version when it comes to versions VEM, I was wondering if the new VSM supports older versions VEM, we are running, so I must not be upgraded all at once. I know that it supports two versions of our ESXi.

  Best regards

  Pete

  You found documentation, transfer of the station from 1.5 to latest code is supported in a VSM perspective.  Which is not documented is the small one on the MEC.  In general, the VSM is backward compatible with the old VEM (to a degree, the degree of which is not published).  Although it is not documented (AFAIK), verbal comprehension is that MEC can be a version or two behind, but you should try to minimize the time that you run in this configuration.

  If you plan to run mixed versions VEM when getting your upgraded hosts (totally fine that's how I do mine), it is better to move to this enhanced version of VEM as you upgrade the hypervisor.  Since you go ESXi 5.0 5.5, you create an ISO that contains the Cisco VIBs, your favorite driver async (if any), and the image of ESXi 5.5 all grouped together so the upgrade for a given host is all of a sudden.  You probably already have this cold technique, but the links generated by the Cisco tool below will show you how to proceed.  It also gives some URLS handy to share with each person performing functions on this upgrade.  Here is the link:

  Nexus 1000V and ESX upgrade utility

  PS - the new thing takes clones your VSMs offline.  Even if they are fairly easy to recover, having a real pure clone will save some sauce secret that otherwise you may lose in a failure scenario.  Just turn off a VSM, then right click and clone.  Turn on again this MSM and failover pair HA, then take to the bottom of it and get a clone of it.  So as a security measure, this upgrade, get your clones currently out of the current 1.5 VSMs, then some time after your upgrade some clones offline, saved from the new version.

• Nexus 1000v and vmkernel ports

  What is the best practice to put on the nexus 1000v vmkernel ports? Is it a good idea to put all the ports of vms and vmkernel on nexus 1000v? switch or dvs or some vmkernel as management ports must be on a standard?  If something happens to the 1000v, all management and vms will be unreachable.

  any tips?

  Yep, that's correct. Port system profiles don't require any communication between the MEC and VSM.

• Migrating from a distributed virtual switch pass

  I have a cluster that is approved for business-more.  I would like the host to a distributed switch.  The configuration of the virtual switch is as follows:

  4 NICs connected to a host, the NIC are part of an EtherChannel.  The network adapters are teamed up with ip route based on the hash of the IP.  All network adapters are connected to the same vSwitch with port groups created for access to the different VLANS

  I did the following to try to migrate to the new distributed switch: I broke the EtherChannel and removed three network adapters on the virtual switch and assigns them to the distributed switch.  At the same time grouping NETWORK adapters on the virtual channel switch based on the originating virtual, we changed the port ID.  I then migrated the service console more for the new switch successfully distributed.  I have created groups of ports on the virtual switch.

  The question is when I re - create the EtherChannel falls hosts on the network.  I have noted the following: "see attachment".

  Anyone using EtherChannel with distributed switches?

  Any help would be appreciated...

  How to configure etherchannel on your Cisco switch? You may not use LACP or PAgP. You must use "channel-group mode on.

• NSX 6.1.5 - distribute Firewall rules are not applied to the empty virtual switches

  Hi all

  We have a big problem since we have improved the NSX to version 6.1.3 to 6.1.5.

  I get a bug following this procedure:

  . In vSphere Client--> NSX, create a new virtual switch

  . Distribuer distribute the firewall, create a rule to deny traffic between two survey periods. Example: source: all, destination: all, service: all, Action: reject, applies: the new virtual switch

  . Connect two VMS to the virtual switch and you can test the other (this is false due to the firewall rule)

  . Publish ANY changes on the firewall distribute (could not be related to our rule. Example to change its name to another rule), and the rule starts to operate.

  Additional steps:

  . Remove the firewall rule

  . Identify the virtual machines in the virtual switch

  . Re-create the firewall with applies rule: the virtual switch (still empty)

  . Connect the virtual machines and ping between them. Yet once, the rule does not work.

  . Publish ANY changes on distributed firewalls and the rule starts to operate.

  NSX version 6.1.3 and 6.2.0 both work correctly. But I can't downgrade to 6.1.3 or upgrade to 6.2.0. 6.2.1 upgrade involves the upgrade of several other components.

  I use the following versions:

  . NSX 6.1.5

  . vCenter Version 5.5.0 Build 2414847

  . ESXi, 5.5.0, 2718055

  Please, any ideas?

  Thank you very much

  D.

  She seems to be a bug in 6.1.5 NSX and there is no solution for this yet. There are workarounds, but none of them apply to my "fully automated" environment

  We need to wait for a fix or upgrade to NSX 6.2.1 requiring an upgrade of several components as well.
