Communication-ESX VM host.

I'm looking to optimise traffic between virtual machines on multiple ESX hosts and falling a little short to determine what method would work well:

Currently the majority of my company connects via Terminal servers on a private MPLS network.  Terminal servers are hosted on two ESX servers.  The majority of our key applications is hosted on a server ESX 3 rd.

My office is local to the server and executes most of the software directly from their PC.

Headquarters Branch offices (entering on MPLS) vs. social vs. servers are all already split on several VLANS s to isolate traffic.

What I am looking in / wondering is if it would be possible and beneficial to consider the addition of a new card NETWORK 2 ports on my ESX hosts map which is designed to handle traffic from a virtual machine on an ESX to a virtual machine to another virtual computer - and if it is possible to do so without changing the settings on the virtual machine themselves.  Specially set up routes in the ESX hosts, saying that all traffic destined for the specific IP / range GB on the other two NIC

Is this possible? Will it work? and is there an advantage to do so?

Connections are currently 1 GB to 1 GB switches and there are 2 NETWORK card for most of LAN traffic.  Although it seems we are saturating the network yet, at the same time go on these 2 NIC we have all the information from the TS to the user, as well as information from the TS on the Application Server.  Ultimately, I want to just isolate without having to change each of the virtual machine.

To answer your question - in a standard vSwitch or even distributed vSwitch, you cannot route traffic on specific network cards.  Maybe in the Nexus 1000v, you can configure static routes by uplink, but that's just a guess.

In vSphere (+ 4.x) when the virtual machines communicate with each other on the same host, even if on a different subnet, it never touches the wire.

The only way to do what you ask without the Nexus (perhaps even with?) is to add another NIC to the guests in a VLAN separated and then on virtual machines to configure static routes so that they use only the second interface.

  • Change the path information for ESX ESXi hosts to access

    Hello all! I hope you guys can help me.

    I have about 47 hosts that I need to change it Round Robin storage path information. If I make the change in vCenter and restart the host it again changing fixed. So, I thought that I should change it to the level of the host through esxicli.

    I have about twice as many LUNS of the Hitachi SAN. I'd like to see if it is possible to make the change in all areas, in some way, or I need to make the change by host? Also, is there anything that I need to change sides San so that it works or not.

    I saw this VMware KB: modification of path information for ESX/ESXi hosts to access and assume that it is the best plan? But did not know of all put into custody, if necessary, that everyone ran to when doing this?

    You will need to make the change by the host and the KB you'll find is the right method.

  • Disable communication between the host and the virtual machine

    I have VM Server 2.0 and one of the virtual machines has the same name as the server and even if the virtual computer is connected to the host only network it generates the Windows error message: duplicate names exist on the network.

    is there a way to disable communication between the host and the virtual machines? I just need a virtual network that is isolated from my network complete and host also.

    Thank you.

    The GUI Server2 is not to choose the other unused vmnets.  Then edit your file VMX use a different vmnet of 0, 1 or 8.  (which are bridged, host-only and NAT)

    Thus, for example, if your VMX has a line that says:

    Ethernet0.VNET = "VMNet0.

    change to:

    Ethernet0.VNET = "VMNet2.

    (This assumes that you have not used the network Editor to fill the vmnet2 either).

  • Monitoring selected VM, ESX, cluster hosts

    Kind regards

    Jamie.

    You can via a user name, but we do not support that.  The problem lies in the case you have a virtual machine, and then you forget about the potential problems with the host.  If you have only a few hosts, it could miss part of a cluster or something else using the storage...  There are many cases where not having not any data could cause problems, so we don't support all a vCenter.

  • Communication between two hosts on the host only

    I have a host ESXi 5.5 with two reviews, a Linux / Centos 6.5 comments and a guest Server R2 2012.

    I've muddled through many questions - time zone, being the biggest problem, but am confused on how to get these guests to see one another, not even sure what to put in Google.

    My goal is to be able to share files between the two guests and access their consoles with putty and RDP, but I can't make them one ping to another. Everyone on the LAN can connect these two guests, but they cannot see.

    A kind soul told me that I forgot?

    Thank you

    Hey katycomputersystems,

    Could you give us a quick screenshot of your vSwitch / Port groups.

    Of the IP information you should be able to ping to each of the systems if they are on the same vSwitch / Portgroup / VLAN.

    Try this

    vSwitch0

    VM Network - Port Group - VLAN 110 - physical Nic don't matter we will keep all the VMS on this port group

    Configure all your VMS on the port network of VM group.  As long as all the VM living on the same port group vlan and vSwitch traffic should never leave this vSwitch and each VM must be able to communicate with each other.  If not you can always ping each other take off the VLAN and try again.  Make sure also that you have no firewall or tables ip enabled on the operating systems that could prevent communication.

    Let us know how it goes

  • Lack of communication between the host computers

    Hello

    We have a small installation demo (2 x ESXi5.1 build 799733 hosts) of vCloud Director 5.1.1868405 running build and meet a strange communication with the VMS problem when they sit on different hosts.

    That we have tested with several organizations and different types of OS etc and the behavior is the same, an example would be that if one of the VMS is a Web server of the site can be displayed if from VMs on the same host, however when you separate guests cannot view the Web site. Virtual machines can ping each other wherever they are.

    I hope someone here can help point me in the right direction to solve this

    Thank you

    Looks like your pool of network is down.  If you are using a paralytic, routed Org or Org... isolated network looks that transport between the two does not work.

    If virtual machines are on one of these network types and on the same host, it works.  If they are on different hosts, it fails.

    Is what kind of network pool?  VCNI, VXLAN etc.?

    Make sure that the physical network is actually configured to transport data.  for example, VCNI uses a VLAN and MTU to 1524 (suggested min) for transportation between the hosts.  However, you need to configure it on the fabric of network (switch, etc.).

    VXLAN has its own requirements, but it has a way to test the virtual wire.

  • Objective 7.1 - guarantee the issue of ESX/ESXi hosts

    Hey all,.

    I am currently working on my study guide for the DCA review and have fallen somewhat with the ESX/ESxi Secure objective 7.1 hosts and more specifically the section for "Customize SSH Seetings for increased security. The only documentation I could find about it is in the "ESX Configuration Guide" on page 202 and the VMware KB 1017910. In ESX config guide details how to REDUCE the requirements of security on default (allowing root access, change the version of the SSH protocol, etc.), and the article explains how to set a timeout for the technical support of Mode (both local and remote). I guess these aren't the types of answers they seek, as the section is to increase the level of security.

    Any clarification or possilbe advice that anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

    TIA,

  • Cluster of RAM available vs ESX or host available RAM systems

    I downloaded ESXi 4.0 to play with HA and DRS etc on some not very new material that I managed to combine. I have two hosts ESX, Virtual Center and a NAS box.

    Unfortunately, the ESX hosts have only 2 GB of RAM each.

    When I put the hosts in the cluster and look at the resources available cluster I don't have that 319 MB of RAM available - even if there is no virtual machines running.

    Each ESX host has more than 1 GB of RAM available - I wonder what the circuit breaker is here?

    This apparent lack or RAM means that HA does not have enough resources to set up a HA cluster for example...

    ESXi 4 requires 2GB for himself. In fact some less than 2 GB, but make sure it as a starting point.

    All the memory you want to give the virtual machines - should be greater than 2 GB.

  • Using Get-VMHost connected to an ESX vs. host connected to a VirtualCenter Server

    Hello

    The script here returns a list of paths storage dead but only works when you run against an ESX host. How can I adjust it to report on all ESX hosts, managed by a VirtualCenter Server?

    $vc = Read-Host "enter the name or the IP address of your server VC."

    SE connect-VIServer-Server $vc

    I guess this is a loop in the sense of 'ForEach' ($VMhosts in Get-VMHost), but have been unable to come up with the appropriate syntax.

    Any suggestions?

My last company consultant put all the names of the ESX servers with IP addresses in the file for each host, but this time, the consultant does not. I was wondering if it is advisable or not?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You needn't name resolution for Vmotion. This is based on the Vmotion network, that use only Ip and default gateway addresses.

    On the hand of oter HA need DNS to work. Then you should be able to resolve host names in the bu cluster HA FQDN.
