Configuration guide for ESXi 5 (Vmnetwork, management and vMotion) with NIC 2 network

• Management and vMotion have the same IP address

  Being quite new to ESXi I have spent hours to deceive and reading and do not understand why my management and vMotion interfaces have the same IP.

  The configuration is the following:

  Cisco UCS blades

  8 cards per blade

  vmnic0 and 1 - management

  vmnic2 and 3 - vmotion

  vmnic4 and 5 - IP storage

  given the VM vmnic6 and 7-

  I installed and the management network has migrated to a DVS without issues.

  Now when I create the DVS/port group for vmotion and assign the IP address I met 2 problems as you can see in the screenshot attached the blade/network.

  Thanks for any info.

  P.S., Management and vMotion are on different networks.

  Yes, the ESXi host may have a default gateway. It is used only when a vmkernel must be routed traffic.

  In the case of vMotion - as long as your vMotion enabled vmkernels are all on the same subnet and VLAN, the default gateway will never serve.

• How do I configure Openfiler for ESXi 5.0 (on which has been installed in the workstation).

  9.0 pre-installed VMware I installed in my laptop. I created a 5.0 as a VM ESXi in workstation. And I installed vSphere client 5.0 in my laptop. And I am able to access ESXi from my laptop through the vSphere client.

  Now, I created a VM with Windows 2008 R2 on top of ESXi. I installed vCenter 5.0 in Windows 2008 R2 Machine. I have just to connect to vCenter using vSphere client (which has been installed in my laptop) and added ESXi as host in the inventory.

  Now, I created a VM with Openfiler. Everything is fine. I want to use this Openfiler as a storage array, and I want the SAN with ESXi and Openfiler configuration.

  I think I need to create a VMkernel port group and attach that Openfiler VM who. And if I want to access the Openfiler web interface, do I need to have internet access? We can access the Openfiler Web interface without having access to the internet?

  Can someone let me know how to connect this Openfiler as a storage Bay for ESXi and configure a San.

  Openfiler does not need Internet access and you do not require an additional VMkernel port for access.  If it's production, you share the management and traffic on NIC iSCSI physical separate and thus vmkernel ports.  In this case, it is not necessary.  Did you do the initial installation of Openfiler to create a LUN for the ESXi host access?

  Hello

  With Linux, as any OS, iSCSI is not different from the SAS/SATA or Fibre Channel.  No matter how you are connected to a "disk", it looks like a SCSI to the OS disk.

  So yes, you use the mount points.   That's how Linux as most UNIX operating systems do it.  But use any method supported for other iSCSI disks.   In Windows, you can use drive letters or mount points.

  Kind regards

• VMware Tools for ESXi not in running and not installed

  (nested) Tools of ESXi does not.

  I installed an ESXi 5.5 nested on a physical and installed 5.5 ESXi host tools on the virtual ESXi5.5.

  However both the client c# as the Web Client report not (not running, not installed) tools.

  When I type 'list of software esxcli vib', I see the esx-tools-for-esxi in the list.

  I have attached the vmware.log for the nested ESXi, I use nesting for several years only and had no problems.

  Thanks in advance

  You are hiding the fact that you run in a virtual machine, if the tools do not start.  Shut down the virtual computer, remove this line from your configuration file and restart:

  monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = true

• Looking for example of the Manager to OBTAIN with the PL/SQL source type

  Hello

  I currently have a Manager GET job with a running QUERY source type in ADR 3.0.  The call returns the number of records (hundreds, or even thousands of 10) in JSON and allows the user to navigate through the results.

  The call accepts several parameters that I convey just in the place where the clause of the query in the Manager.  Data is retrieved by the beach date (s).

  To prevent queries runaway with ranges for a long time, I've implemented a logic in the sql statement to limit the applicant.  The applicant requested an error thrown instead.  There are other limits that I'm imposing on other entries I need to provide useful errors for example.

  I would like to change the call GET use PL/SQL type instead of the type of REQUEST so that I can do validation on entries and send useful return error messages if necessary, however I can't find examples online.

  Are there any examples (or alternatives) would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Anthony

  Hello

  You can use the Pipelined functions to generate your recordset plsql and then just use a select statement of the function in the pipeline in the service definition.

• z820: looking for a software raid manage and view the status of disks hard raid

  HP z820 workstation,

  product # D3J63UT

  I'm looking for raid management software

  

  Thank you.

  I suggest that you follow the steps listed in the HP Document: "Z - series Workstation detection and fixing a hard drive failure within the RAID Controller utility" in the URL: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04474148#N10829 you can find instructions how to enter each State type of RAID (Intel RST, 2308 LSI and LSI 9260-8i controller - It's the main RAID controllers usually associated with the HP Z820 workstation according to the particular configuration you ordered). Note that in most of the cases described in this document, you need to access the configuration of RAID controller during computer startup steps, by pressing CTRL + I (for Intel RST) or CTRL + C (for LSI 2308) or CTRL + H (by LSI 9260-8i). The installation program uses the RAID controller firmware and does not require to install complex inside Windows software, because it is done outside of the Windows operating system before starting. Find more details in "HP Z220 SFF, CMT Z220, Z420, Z620 and Z820 workstations maintenance and Service Guide" in the URL: http://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c04205252-1.pdf , in the devices of annex b: Setup RAID (pp. 161-171) all types of RAID controllers that are relevant at the workplace Z820 are discussed.

• You want some advice on configuring NPIV for ESXi Vsphere 4.1

  Salvation; HP EVA8000 SAN/FC switches, Win2k8 servers, HBA Qlogic - environment. I have my VMware Setup and ready to go.  I have test virtual servers on the SAN and want to connect to the virtual disks of data users. I made copies of the VD data user and copies connected to the virtual machine as LUN mapped Raw. They seem to work ok, but I don't know what I have to configure for NPIV? If I do, how can I change the settings for the HBA on the ESXi host? is there a resource for the syntax and parameters? I will follow my own, but if anyone has any experience in this area (NPIV), it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Gregg

  There is no need of NPIV for the scenario you describe. In fact, I don't see a case of usage with the current implementation for NPIV (technically), since in addition to NPIV you must always present the LUNS to the ESXi hosts and map in the RDM.

• Configuration problem for ESXi lab network settings

  Hello

  I'm setting up a personal lab on a laptop. I created 2 virtual ESXi servers with VMware Workstation.
  Creating virtual machines ESXi, I chose the NAT option for networking:

  

  I then tried setting up two interfaces vmkernel on vSwitch0 by default for each ESXi server, select obtain IP settings automatically everywhere, as follows:

  ESXi1

  

  ESXi2

  

  I have created 4 virtual network adapters for each host and add them as active adapters to the switches.

  The problem... or ESXi pings host each other!

  What I am doing wrong?

  What are the pings, I launched of ESXi1

  ~ # ping 192.168.138.136

  PING 192.168.138.136 (192.168.138.136): 56 data bytes

  -192.168.138.136 - ping statistics

  3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

  ~ # ping 192.168.138.137

  PING 192.168.138.137 (192.168.138.137): 56 data bytes

  -192.168.138.137 - ping statistics

  3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

  That's what I thought. I suggest that you wipe the cloned ESXi host, create a new virtual machine and install again. You can also consider using a separate subnet for the vMotion network to avoid problems.

• DVS switch or a standard for the management and vmotion - and what about 1000v?

  Couple on this questions:

  (1) is there a drawback to the use of the DVS of management? I seem to remember at least possibly in the early days of DVS that there is a dependency on vcenter - so that if vcenter was declining, the hosts lost connectivity. I'm sure that this is no longer the case? But... there at - it all real aisles at the use of DVS for management?

  (2) is there a reason NOT to use a vswitch 1000v for groups of management ports?

  1) there is still a dependency on vCenter for management but if vCenter is down the vDS will still continue to operate your just will not be able to manage the switch.

  (2) 1000v is that a Cisco developed vDS - so the same applies and that there should be no problem to use it for the administration port groups.

• Recommended management and vmotion redundancy?

  Hello

  Is it recommended to have vmotion and management on the same vswitch for redundancy with at least 2 NIC or the separate vSwitches for each with dual NIC by minimum switch?

  I don't expect a saturation where no traffic pulse spend more with a binding rising gigabit.

  BTW. what I forgot to mention in my previous post, it's that I usually work with different VLANS on groups of ports and physical ports configured as trunk ports.

• How to manage and work with multiple libraries

  I decided to store my photos in annual libraries - but now I want to create a photo book with photos of two libraries.

  Is there a way of

  (1) create more products of a library?

  (2) otherwise: merge two libraries into one?

  Thank you!

  Does not support photos to merge libraries.

  It would more easily create a library for your book.

  • Export the photos that you want to use in the book of two libraries (select the photos and use file > export > export... versions).  Export photos to a high quality.
  • Import the photos exported in an empty library.  Create your book.
  • Then check in the library with the book project...

  This will have the advantage, that don't accidentally delete you or change the photos you used for your book.

  If you temporarily want to move photos between libraries, you can use the PowerPhotos application.  It allows you to navigate easily several libraries of Photos without having to open them in Photos.
