"Cold migration" use vMotion enabled network?

• Impossible to migrate using vMotion

  ESX beginner, please, be gentle.

  Try to implement vMotion on a new system. When I try to migrate VM 'test' I host '1' to '2', I get this error:

  "Impossible to spend (IP1) a (IP2): currently connected network interface.

  Use "1 network adapter ' network 'VM-01 network NIC02', which is not accessible.

  Configuration:

  2 hosts running ESX 3.5

  Host 1:

  vSwitch 0

  Port group: VM Network Service Console

  Port: Service, (IP1 - not in 192.168.0.0) Console

  1 physical NETWORK card

  vSwitch 1

  Port group: VM SAN Direct network

  Port: VMKernel 192.168.1.101 (vMotion enabled)

  Port: Service Console 2 192.168.1.166

  1 physical NETWORK card

  vSwitch2

  Port group: network of VM-01 NIC02

  VM 'test '.

  1 physical NETWORK card

  most other vSwitches & VMs

  Host 2:

  1 physical NETWORK card

  vSwitch2

  Port group: network of VM-02 NIC02

  1 physical NETWORK card

  most other vSwitches & VMs

  Admin port SAN switch is 192.168.1.240 so assigned to the doors of vMotion. The Network tab for vMotion on the vSwitches ports show only the IP address of a workstation used to manage the SAN switch (192.168.1.46 - 192.168.1.46).

  If I try to migrate a virtual machine by host '2' to host '1', I get a similar error, stating that 'VM-02 network NIC02' isn't accessible.

  The only references I can find suggests to make the port of vMotion & port even groups, and they seem to be the same.  Vmkping running guests see the other port of vMotion.  The SAN switch can ping all the port of vMotion.

  I do not understand why the VM network NIC are involved in a process of vMotion, I thought that the port of vMotion was dedicated for this.

  What Miss me?

  TIA

  When you try to VMotion vCenter comments trying to find portgroup named 'VM-01 network NIC02' on the second host. Rename both exchanges to the 'virtual network' and Vmotion will work.

  Why?

  1. VLAN. Each portgroup can be associated with several VLANS to separate traffic.

  2. logical traffic separation. You can add more than one NETWORK interface card to vSwitch and portgroup more than one. Exchanges can be associated with the rules for the use of network cards on vSwitch and cards to be used. For example you wish to have dedicated NIC for just a couple of virtual machines for a few reasons and another NIC for VMs another 20, but you must failover for both. If you associate NIC1 Portgroup "20 VMs" as active and NIC2 as Stand by, NIC1 with Portgroup "VIP VMs" on stand-by and NIC2 as active. Now you have dedicated NICs for exchanges, but if something happens with one of the network adapters, the traffic can go through another.

  Because of that, we can discuss the logical networks, you just need to connect VM to the logical network 'Office virtual machines' and ESX it automatically connect to required portgroup. Logical network is a sum of all exchanges with the same name.

• How can I check who is using VMotion NIC?

  I have 2 installation hosts with 4 NICs (local storage) and I configured for VMKernel (VMotion) one switch with separate maps. These two are connected with a crossover cable and are configured with manual IP addresses. Migration of virtual machines stop works, but how can I be sure that the traffic is really from my separate vSwitch1/vmnic2 and does not block vSwitch0/vmnic0 + vmnic1 with all the virtual machines in the annex?

  I checked the network traffic on the host in vCenter, but during VMotion I saw massive traffic on vmnic1, but none on vmnic2, so I'm not sure if my configration is correct.

  Can someone help / advice? Thank you.

  I know that I have not met ALL the requirements for VMotion, but that should not affect where the traffic is done by. And even cold migration should go through network cards configured.

  And that's where you're wrong. Migration cold uses your network management vmk0, which will use vmnic0 or vmnic1 and not the vMotion VMkernel.

  I just tested a migration cold between two servers. VMotion NIC was slowed while the NETWORK card for the management network yielded several MB/s in the migration process cold.

  Concerning

• Cold using vMotion migration between data warehouses

  To perform a migration cold between 2 not the source ESX servers and the host ESX destination need to see two data stores?

  I have a host ESX 3.5 with 1 data store called data01 and a host ESXi 5.0 with a data store called data02. Using vCenter to manage the two ESX host - what I want to turn off a virtual running on the 3.5 host computer and perform a migration cold, including a data store move to 5.0 host.

  
  Can this be achieved?

  I am unable to storage area presented to the ESX host 3.5 to the host of 5.0 and also unable to storage 5.0 to 3.5 host.

  The OP is talking about a cold migration.  In the scenario described, it doesn't have to be a shared storage.  As long as the migration cold remains in the same instance of vCenter, there should be no problem.

• How cold migration transfer VMDK file on which network indeed?

  There is an explanation, that I got from this community is cold migration transfer on service console network, the specific "service console" connects the VI client.  But this explanation cannot explain this situation below.

  Virtual Center: 138.35.170.87 (gateway: 138.35.170.1)

  ESX1: 15.171.70.10 (gateway: 15.171.70.1)

  ESX2: 15.171.70.11 (gateway: 15.171.70.1)

  ESX1 and ESX2 is under HA environment, linking SAN even with a disk of EVA storage array.

  15 171,70. * can access 138.35.170 * between them freely by the window / door entry

  15.171.70 * is the network isolation. They cannot access each other.

  Migration cold can work well in the environment.

  The vdisk to the virtual machine, we planned to migrate is dedicate to the logical unit number, and the target data store is dedicated lun as well.

  Could you tell me how cold migration works?

  Cold migration can be of different types:

  1 Datastore1-> Datastore2, ESX remains the same: copy of files only.

  2 Datastore1-> Datastore2, ESX1-> ESX2, and data warehouses are not shared: via the Service Console / VMkernel.

  3 Datastore1-> Datastore2, ESX1-> ESX2, and data warehouses are shared: I guess than filecopy and re-enter on an another ESX VM.

• Cannot migrate through the required network. Someone please...?

  I've set up 3 ESXi hosts connected via 2 parallel networks. One is a slower network (base 100) on 192.168.12.0/24, and the other is a speed gigabit on 10.1.1.0/24 network. Each host is to have two physical network adapters for each network.

  Home #1 Config is as follows: (also see attached photo)

  vSwitch0 (connected to vmNic0 )-> a

  -Network VM (Machine Virtual Port group)

  -Management network (VMKernel Port) vmk0: 192.168.12.30

  vSwitch1 (connected to vmNic1 )-> a

  -Network SAN (Virtual Machine port group)

  -VMKernel-Special (VMKernel Port) vmk1: 10.1.1.30

  NOTE: Host 2 also has a similar setup with a different set of IP addresses.

  My problem is that when I try to cold migrate a virtual machine from one host to another (in the left pane you see, sound of 192.168.12.30 to 192.168.12.32), he's still doing the migration through the slower network (vSwitch 0). I want to be cold migration through the fastest gigabit set to vSwitch network 1.

  I have not yet tried make clusters or vmotion, because I can't seem to properly configure the network I want to serve. so can you please help me with this? I want to make sure when I do the migration (migration to cold to start), happens through the network of my choice, which in this case is the gigabit network. Thank you very much.

  Hello

  The stream migration cold traffic over the first Appliance for management of the system detects. In your case, there are two, with the slower network, being the first one it finds. There is no way to route based on activity, so that you either the entire network managemernt vSwitch1 or you live with slower speeds. Personally, I'm not sure that I would never have my network of virtual computer on the same link as my device/network management since they are generally two areas of different trust, etc..

• Using VMotion with 2 ESX and VCenter

  Hi all

  I just installed with ESX 2 VSphere and & VCenter. I can't use VMotion to migrate a virtual machine running one ESX towards each other.

  My setup is as follows:

  the iSCSI Software initiator.

  data store even shared by 2 facilitators.

  same conf network on the 2 hosts, none vlan used (set to 0):

  • vSwitch0 for the Service console, connected to the network of the company (vmnik0)

  • vSwitch1 for virtual machine network (connected to the company network vmnic1) and VMkernel (for vmotion, connected to the production network: san, vmnic2).

  Error displayed (at 10%): a general error occurred: the VMotion failed because the ESX host failed to connect to the VMotion network, please check your physical network configuration and settings network VMotion.

  vmnic2 on ESX1 is configured with 255.255.0.0 192.168.130.X mask and connected to eth0 on iSCSI SAN

  vmnic2 on ESX2 is configured with 255.255.0.0 192.168.131.X mask and connected to eth1 on iSCSI SAN

  Thanks for help

  Two VLAN different connection to the iSCSI SAN. You should have the same subnet, but a different IP addresses (if any) connecting to the San from each host (depends on the SAN)... For example 192.168.130.25 for ESX1 and 192.168.130.30 for ESX2. Unless your SAN network covers actually two subnets on your local network, you create a question where you don't need to. I would also use separate NETWORK card for vMotion traffic and another for iSCSI. Separate them VM traffic too (makes everything cleaner and less chance of collisions and too load performance causing one issues for each other. This is why it is a good idea to have at least four, if not six, physical NIC (or ports) within an ESX/ESXi server.

• ESX host will not use VMotion

  Hi all

  I have a question maybe someone can help.

  I installed two new ESX hosts in their own cluster, managed by a single data center environment.

  After the installation and updates, adding them to the Cluster environment and adding new licenses to the license server VC.

  I have one of the two ESX host who won't use VMotion. Everything is allowed as should be. But in the section of the Add On to the Configuration of the license, I see the following:

  VMware DRS Licensed for 2 cpu

  VirtualCenter for ESX Server Licensed agent for 2 cpu

  VMotion will not used

  VMware Consolidated Backup for 2 cpu license

  VMware HA under license for 2 cpu

  Additional details:

  Both servers in the cluster are identical hardware profiles: Intel 3.2Gig Xeon, 2 cavities 4 hearts, no HT.

  32Gig of RAM, (Proliant DL380 G5)

  The two servers connected to the SAN via Fibre Chanel Switch, redundant.

  Concert NIC ((VMNic 0 (Console 1), VMNic 1 (Standby adapter), VMNic 2 (Console 2) (the Virtual Machine Network), (VMkernel), (ports of vSwitch 56 none VLAN not defined) VMNic 3 (Standby adapter)).)

  No errors in the Logs of license, the Console message, etc. Everything seems in good health with no update needed.

  Both servers see the unique data store, created on the same SAN which it connects through the switch channel.

  VMFS 3.31.  Unique data store with several extensions (8 in total, the creation of a size of 15 to storage).

  Any ideas?

  All my other hosts using VMotion, but it does not work and there is no difference in configuration, I know.

  Thank you

• Problems connecting to the internet using the wireless network connection

  I can't connect to the internet using my wireless network connection. I had made the diagnosis and he stated that "the DHCP is not enabled for the wireless network connection. I had checked the DHCP, but it has been activated!... Someone would give any suggestion for me to solve the problem?

  Open the run command box by pressing Windows key + R, type services.msc and press enter . Search The Client DHCP and check if it is enabled or disabled. If disabled then turn it on and see if the problem still persists or not.

  Open the run command box by pressing Windows key + R, type cmd , and press enter . At the command prompt, type ipconfig/all and press ENTER. Now, check the IP address, default gateway, DNS etc. If you find all the information is correct, but you cannot yet access the Internet so if you connect the wireless network is secure or not. To determine the glance to the wireless network icon in the taskbar, then click on it. It will show you the available wireless networks. If there is a "yellow shield" present on the network icon, the network is not guaranteed, if there is no "yellow shield" does while the network is secure. In a secure network, you might have a "network security key. In this case try to disable the 'Network security key' option for this network. To do this:

  Open Control Panel , click network and Internet , click network and sharing Center , click manage wireless networks on the left.

  In the list select the wireless network and do a right click, select Properties, Security disable tab all options that is, in security type do not select no authentication (Open) and to the type of encryption , select none . You can also activate the automatic connection and SSID settings to further enhance connectivity, on the connection tab, click to select the "connect automatically if this network is in range " and "check boxesto connect even if the network is broadcasting his name (SSID) .

  For more information click here and see how you can determine whether a network is secure or not.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-know-if-a-wireless-network-is-secure

  If the problem still persists, then check your firewall settings and make sure that the firewall is not blocking your Internet connection. Some software Antivirus has a built-in firewall and they block by default all unknown connection to the tightening of security.

  Try to restore Windows Firewall default settings. Open Control Panel click on network and Internet , click system and security , click Windows Firewall , click default settings .

  Hope this will help. Thank you.

• Problems with the WEB BROWSER blackBerry Smartphones, use not wifi network to open some Web sites

  Hello I'm owner of BB BOLD 9900 OS 7.1... for the last two days I am facing a pretty annoying problem with the BB browser.

  It means not affects the device... it just annoys me.

  When I TURN ON my WiFi on my BB with the network carrier Sim already homepage active who has a Active on it and open the web browser BB, according to the website on which I open the web browser chooses between the internet Wi - fi OR internet BIS carrier which is weird. BECAUSE a default if the wifi is enabled, then the web browser MUST use internet wifi network carrier for navigation. YOU TUBE, FB and TWITTER.com all use my carrier netwrok to open bt soon I open BBC.com or CNN or any other site the wifi symbol appears on the right side and so it uses the wifi network... and disappears when I opened THE 3 SITES you tube FB n twitter.

  My knowledge is that when you activate THE wifi network, the WEB browser is intended to USE the wireless internet, NOT the internet carrier

  The next time I switchd off the the carrier signal, and then Turned ON one internet WI - FI and then opened the web browser of BB. so now all the opend website with wifi internet bt as soon as I open YOU TUBE or FB or TWITTER.com it post a comment... .that cannot visit the web page when the carrier is off. Please turn on the radio n try again... I mean IT SHOULD OPEN with internet wifi? WHY do network carrier sim to open the web page?

  I have checkd my browser settings and they are default and also my wifi settings I have reset the... the problem still persists?

  any idea wats going on?

  Please help is needed I'm annoyed about this problem...

  Thank you

  MR. KIWI... Good news... .i went to my carrier service center... Solvedo Problemo!

  Go to your service books and remove directories of service WAP browser in all directories of service WAP 3 I don't know the exact name, but all are related to the browser... WAP config something like dat... Just remove dem... .and HARD restart your fone... and try to use only wifi on your device with your carrier network off...

  mine worked... Let me know on urs... so now, the browser uses my wifi instead of my network provider when both are running...

• Full migration with vmotion

• Cold migration

  For a cold migration, there is no reason to have shared something as long as vCenter manages both correct hosts?  I can cold migrate a virtual machine from the cluster or datacenter to another also long the ESX hosts have network connectivity?

  Yes, it should work. From 5.1 vSphere, VMware has added a new feature that allows you to migrate still warm from the virtual computer without shared storage.

• VMotion and networking

  Hi all

  Quick question that I hope is not as stupid as I think it might be?

  You host ESX A and B ESX host with shared storage, and you want to vmotion virtual machine between them. You have also a vswitch on each host.

  Here you have now a group of ports on host A called "VM Network1" and another group of ports on host b, called "VM Network2. When you vmotion a virtual machine between hosts, how vmware knows how to put the virtual machine on the group safely?

  I guess what I'm trying to tie down is, how Host B determine where its networks to put the virtual machine to the host, to ensure connectivity is resumed. I guess what I'm thinking is, when you have 10 groups of different ports on a host computer, when you vmotion, how do you make sure the virtual machine gets on the right ports on the other host group? It goes just by the name of the port group?

  Thank you!!!

  You will get an error telling you that the virtual computer uses a VM network which is not available on host B.

• Bandwidth using Vmotion

  We add another server from VSphere 4 in a different building on our campus.  What are the requirements for minimum bandwidth between two VSphere servers to use VMotion between them?  Is a dedicated link 1Gig between them to transfer virtual methods on in a reasonable amount of time?  Would be 100 Meg transfer works for this?  Or if they are nearby with direct connections between them?

  Scenario would be to have a few methods virtual redundancy or transfer over to interview one of the boxes of VSphere.  We would prefer to have housed in different places for different reasons, power outages, etc...

  Thanks in advance.
