• Best configuration of switch for 4 natachasery - 5 ESXi

  So, I need to tell my boys to network how I want the configuration of ports (Cisco switches) for 4 natachasery connection to my HP DL 360. I need the vSwitch VM access to 3 different VLAN. I'm NOT going to use vMotion for this.

  I guess, I see 2 possibilities and does not entirely undesrstand pros / cons...

  First of all, I thought I would split the enet to 2 separate switches cables, but I was told that if I chose that this channel of ports 1 route would be active and 2nd would be Eve. Basically can not paste all 4 cards and divide them. This could reduce the bandwidth, but give me a redundancy using 2 physical switches.

  Or I can have all 4 enet cables go to the same switch (etherchannel), but if this switch would die I'm dead in the water, AND I think that EtherChannel mode WE (my network guy preferred LACP) should stay and LACP cannot be used. According... http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 1004048 I think I should also use 'Hash IP' if EtherChannel is used.

  So what is the advantage or disadvantages of each channel? Thank you!

  This article describes the aggregation of ESX/ESXi links:

  • ESX/ESXi host only supports grouping NETWORK adapters on a single physical switch or stacked switches.
  • Aggregation of links is never supported on disparate networks switches.
  • The switch must be set to perform 802.3ad aggregation of links in static mode WE and the virtual switch must have its defined route based on the IP hashload balancing method.  Ensure that participants of the network adapters are connected to the ports configured on the same physical switch.
  • Allowing each route based on the IP hash without 802.3ad aggregation or vice versa disrupts networking, so you must make the changes to the virtual switch first. In this way, the service console is not available, but the physical switch management interface is, so you can activate the aggregation on the affected ports to restore network.
  • For more information on ESX networking concepts, see the VMware Virtual Networking Concepts.
  • For more information on configuring a VLAN for NIC teaming, see Configuration of VLAN Virtual Switch, switch physical and virtual machines (1003806).
  • To set up the consolidation of NETWORK cards on ESX and a physical switch, see example configuration of EtherChannel / link aggregation with ESX/ESXi and Cisco/HP switches (1004048).
  • The only option for switch vSwitch or vDistributed that can be used with balancing EtherChannel is HASH IP.
  • Do not use tag with IP HASH load balancing.
  • Do not uplinks configure standby or not well obliterated with IP HASH load balancing.
  • VMware takes support only a single Etherchannel by vSwitch or distributed vNetwork (vDS).

  In my case with no vMotion and just management and 3 VLAN all about 1 vSwitch I should put them all to active?

  Yes, they should all be active, there is really no need passive adapters (that I'm aware of your configuration).

  On your physical switches, you don't need to do anything more than what allows a VLAN correct, i.e.: should all etherchannel or a similar montage. Side vSwitch, you must use the default 'Port ID' nic teaming strategy.

• Can standby database configured on VMWare Server or not?

  Hi all
  
  
  Is it possible that our main server is not on the vmware server, but standby server can be configured on the server of VMWare?
  
  As far as I know, configuration of both server should be same.
  
  If our main server is not on the Vmware server but waiting for database configured on Vmware server, going to work or not.
  
  Pls suggest me...
  
  And another thing is that is it necessary to have a dedicated connection b/w primary and standby server for RFS process.
  
  pls suggest me...

  Hi again!

  That's right for your main server, but if you need to pass / failover to the standby DB on VM-Ware could you have performance problems.

• Please help to configure the router for internet connection 871W!

  Hello world!

  I just started styding for CCNA, so I'm totally new to Cisco stuff. Recently bought a router 871W and spent two days in a row trying to configure internet connection with no luck! I use the port console for the configs and SDM/CCP. Would be greateful if someone could tell me how to do simple configs of internet connection. I googled everything but it's still confusing. I can't assing all-IP ports FA 0-3. I used instead of the VLAN. But all tutorials use FA0 and when I try to assign an IP address to FA0 it gives me some L2 cannot be assigned or something... :/ And I am also confused at what address IP use for WAN.

  I connected the cable between the Modem and the LAN of the PC port and copied some IP addresses which I think I have to use to configure the router for internet connection. And here they are:

  ISP IP: 76.114.54.255

  SUBNET: 255.255.248.0

  GATEWAY: 76.114.48.1

  DHCP: 69.252.97.4

  DNS: 75.75.75.75

  75.75.76.76

  If you can, please help! Thank you!

  Hi david,

  Looks like your 871w can not get a dynamic IP address: % unknown DHCP problem... No possible allocation

  you could ask your ISP to perform a reset/clear MAC add and try again?

  also, kindly post lastest "show run".

  Edit: just to see you've updated your screenshot. could you add command under 4

• Configure Alerts email for hardware failures

  Our ESXi 5.5 environment goes live today and now it will be in production I was wondering if there was a way to configure alerts email for hardware failures. For example, if a disk goes wrong in our RAID array, I want to be emailed on this subject. Is this possible, and is there a link to find out how to implement that?

  Go to the Administration menu-> vCenter Server Settings-> E-mail and enter SMTP server and the account of the sender.

• Could some expert if you please help me to configure Oracle Gateway for DRDA.

  Hi Experts,
  
  Could you please give me the steps or delete the document to install and configure the oracle for DRDA gateway. I need to put up with the db2 database.
  
  Platform: AIX
  Database version: 11.2.0.3
  
  I'd really appreciate it if experts will extend their assistance in this regard.
  
  Thank you

  Hello
  To answer your questions-

  1. I already have a listener running on my oracle database, which is under home(/u01/app/asm/product/11.2.0.3/grid/network/admin) GI.

  -You must create a new listening port for the gateway in the directory $GATEWAY_ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
  -for your configuration, this looks like it should be-
  /U01/app/Oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dt02/network/admin
  -start the receiver of the gateway by using the executable in /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dt02/bin lsnrctl

  2. I read the Document Oracle, which has been mentioned by the experts above, however got little confused where to run scripts to create the Tables and the data dictionary support Beta project views...
  -you need run the scripts in the database non-Oracle to which you are connecting.
  So, if it's DB2 on zOS, then run "zos" scripts DB2 itself, if it is DB2 on Linux, Unix or Windows, then run "luw" scripts in DB2.

  3. is there anything that either I should suggest for DB2 guys to go he ends to make it effective.
  -Make sure that they granted the necessary authorizations for such users as specified in the documentation, in particular the user that links the gateway packages.

  Kind regards

• Configuration of disk for CS4

  Hi all

  Looking for some recommendations on the configuration of disk for CS4. Some QuickSpecs. XP Pro 64 bit, Intel i7 extreme, 12 GB of DDR3 RAM and 8 Velociraptor 300 GB disks.

  I originally it was configured as a single array (RAID 5 with online backup) with two partitions (one for the OS and program files) and one for the storage and the file Page on the table and zero.  I wasn't getting very good performance so I decided to clean up and reconfigure.

  I'd be better off with 2 tables? An array of 0(600 GB) RAID 2 disks for OS, Program Files and Scratch space. and the second table of 6 drives in RAID 5 (1.3 to) for storage?

  Or maybe even go with a single hard drive for OS and Program Files (300 GB).  One drive for Scratch space (300 GB).  and then the 6 disks in RAID 5 for storage?

  Also, where would be the best loacation for the pagefile?

  Thanks in advance for the help

  Keep things simple:

  1. go to Win7-64

  2 C disc for OS & programs, only Velociraptor

  3 D for the swap file disk, and all the rest, 7 x Velociraptor in a raid5 configuration

  Hey David,

  I got it exactly the same problem when I installed a few weeks back. Fortunately, the solution is simple.

  Make sure that you run the config (config.cmd or config.sh) script that is located in the %MIDDLEWARE_HOME%/Oracle_ECM1/common/bin/ directory as opposed to the standard Wizard. This runs the wizard for creating domain with a different set of parameters so that the jython script that executes orders WLST at the end does not fail. If you are using windows, and using the shortcut it is start-> programs-> ECM Oracle 11g - Home1-> configure application server. One of our other guys had a problem where the entry "start in" for this shortcut was bad as well. On mine it is % MIDDLEWARE_HOME%/Oracle_ECM1/install/bin.

  Hope that helps,

• Configuration of VMware ESX 5.1/5.5 pass through for PowerEdge 2970

  Hello

  I tried to configure VMware ESX 5.1/5.5 pass through for a 8 GB Qlogic FC HBA on PowerEdge 2970 server.

  Even after activation of the virtual technology in the BIOS, the PCI device is not listed in "Advanced settings" to configure pass-through. Attached screenshot shows the current setting of the processor.

  Y at - it all the additional steps required to configure it.

  Hello Sara

  You're talking Direct path IO or single root i/o virtualization? If so, none of these features are supported on the 2970 system.

  I don't think that or the other of these characteristics were available until our 11 generation systems.

• What configuration of VMWare will work better for me?

  I have two sets of applications currently residing in two servers for exchanging information between them. A set of applications runs under SUSE Linux. The other set of applications runs under Windows 2008 Server x 64. I can rebuild both the Linux SUSE and Windows applications as 32-bit or 64-bit 32 vs 64-bit isn't a concern. To reduce the cost of deployment of the equipment, I want to run both sets of applications on a single Intel Blade base server. I'm envisioning running VMWare on Linux (if possible) which will then host a Windows VM, but I'm willing to accept another configuration that could be the best idea. What is of critical importance for me is stability applications must run under an SLA (Service Level Agreement).

  After the VMWare web site, is not clear to me what product I should consider to achieve the above objectives. What would be the optimal configuration and the VMWare product to achieve this configuration to satisfy my above stated requirements?

  I guess you are talking about a BL460c. It works perfectly with ESXi. With 8 GB and (hopefully) RAID 1 mirroring it should work perfectly. Make sure you have BBWC for your RAID controller. This makes a huge difference in the performance of the disk.

• Is it possible to remove the disposable disc to a pool configuration in VMware View?

  I would like to remove the option of disposable disc several persistent pools in VMware View Horizon 5.3.1 (where virtual machines are already using disposable disks); However, there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in the options of the pool. Is it possible to remove the disk otherwise option or should I remove the old pool and create a completely new without this option enabled?

  I used disposable disk option seems to be to save storage space, but I discovered that disposable disks have been updated only when displaying launched a turning off the virtual machines in the pool (which never happens). I thought that disposable records updated each time that a client shutdown/restarted the VM... but which is not the case. Given this information, I would like to stop using disposable disks as they really may not confer any advantage the way our persistent virtual machines are configured.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  OK, you're right... only the drive letter customization is allowed.

  Now to answer your question, the one and only formally is to remove the pool by archiving all disks persistent (user data disk), and then create a pool with the same name (but without SDS).

  In addition, select all the archived UDD and then click on, "recreate". All new desktop computers will be recreated with the new spec,

  Another way (not officially committed / not sure of its effects)

  EAP-SVIVmPersistentDiskSpec entry will be there to ADAM OR = database server groups (VMware KB: connecting to the Database View ADAM)

  This entry will be there for disposable system that has a parameter "DiskUsage is SystemDisposable".

  Upron deleting the corresponding entry * may * end configuring don't not the SSD for the supply of others.
