Connect NAS LAN device via ESXi host

Hi all

I am currently fighting to get my NAS device attached to my LAN. I drew my network physical configuration below. Currently, the NAS is directly connected to the second NETWORK card in my server ESXi host. The first NETWORK card is the host is connected to the router, which is attached to the rest of my network and NATs to the Internet.

My design of virtual network looks like this right now.

If I add the second NETWORK card to port VM group, the NAS is visible to the virtual machines; However he cannot understand how to access the outside via the map of others. And the NAS is not visible from the attached LAN devices. Of course the two vm gw is set to 192.168.2.1

Basically I want the SIN to be on the same subnet as the all other devices on my LAN. Of course I could put in a physical switch between my router and the host of the virtual machine, but is it not possible to somehow the second NIC in the host 'transparent' or is he bridge on the first?

Thanks in advance,

Johan

But is not possible to software-ize/virtualize this behavior?

It wouldn't be done by ESX (i).  You must have the bridge of the guest OS network cards.  Or you change the subnet of the second NETWORK card and configure routing in your guest OS.  Possible, but sounds like more complexity than really necessary.

... I mean... Physically, your suggestion means I have to buy an additional switch to put in front of my host.

Unless you 'need' to a switch, a gigabit unmanaged switch is not so expensive and has no configuration.  (And if you need a bunch of ports, I had a switch to unmanaged gigabit 16 port d-Link for under $ 200 at Office Depot).  The "no configuration" section is worth the expense in my humble OPINION.

  • Best practices for backup of vCenter device and ESXi hosts?

    Hello

    I have a new VMware environment based on 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server Appliance. A few questions:

    • What is the best practice to perform the backup of the vCenter Server Appliance? I set up the camera with the embedded SQL Express database.
    • It's recommended to backup the ESXi host or is it easier to any re - install failure?

    Best regards

    Hello

    You can use VMware VDP to backup your device of vCenter. It is included in essentials, standard, enterprise, and enterprise as well as licenses.

    I won't have backups of ESXi servers. Restore the backup would take more time that the deployment of a new ESXi.Only thing, you may want to consider is to enable logging remotely, so you can see why the hosts failed.

  • Cannot add ESXi host to vCenter Server

    Hello

    I created a home set up a VMware datacenter for study purposes. I currently have 2 virtual machines: an ESXi host with vCenter Server Appliance deployed on this subject.

    I configured the server vCenter through web interface device and I have connected using vSphere Client.

    I created a data center, but when I try to add a host, I get "ERROR: the request exceeded."
    Connection with vSphere client directly to the ESXi host works.

    I can connect using SSH to the ESXi host.

    I have disabled the firewall on the ESXi host.

    I have read many articles on the kbase but nothing helped me to solve this problem.

    You have any ideas?

    I finally got to understand.

    It seems like my vmware workstation is not connected to the esxi as a physical host in my local network host, and so I was able to ping it unit of vCenter Server (but it worked the other way around, and that's why I thought it was ok).

    After the connection to the physical LAN of VMware workstation settings, everything worked fine.

  • ESXi hosts SBS 2011, clients lose network via VPN

    Greetings,

    We have an ESXi Server (in a lab environment) who perform a SBS 2011 and a Windows 2003 (Terminal Server).

    We have two locations, connected via a VPN IPSec (2 boxes of ClearOS).

    The ESXi host is located in building r. customers in the construction of an experience no problem at all.

    Customers in the building B often lose connectivity to network share. We also failed when copying data. Do not forget that the servers are located in the building and issues affecting only users in the B building.

    We noticed the event ID 2012 on the VM SBS 2011 event viewer.

    The two buildings are connected to a cable broadband 10 mb / 1 mb ISP.

    NOD32 Antivirus is installed on the two virtual machines

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you

    Hello

    There are a few things to look out for more such links. The following steps were made on W2K and W2K3, so that they are still applicable for you.

    (1) is the VPN capable to manage the packet being sent by site B MTU size, sometimes the MTU on VPN size must be less than the default value of 1500 set LAN. You can check this scathing your server with a command like

    ping f-l 1500

    If you get a message like "packet needs to be fragmented but DF parameter.

    You will need to reduce the size of the MTU TCP/IP in the client registry. Try to ping the server with a size of 500 bytes and see how it goes.

    (2) setting the server TCP/IP stack

    In the registry HKLM \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters, create or modify value DWORD of TcpMaxDataRetransmissions. By default, it is set to 5, but I recommend double this value to 10. The TcpMaxDataRetransmissions value is the number of retransmissions of TCP of a data segment without acknowledgement of receipt on an existing connection. TCP retransmits data segments until they are acknowledged or until the expiry of this value. Basically, when a client does not meet a package from the server, the server will attempt to retransmit the packet until TcpMaxDataRetransmissions many times. By increasing this value, you give the customer more time to answer on the server, which will help improve the flaky connections or connections with latency or higher than normal packet loss.

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\KeepAliveInterval and HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\KeepAliveTime.

    Both entered DWORD.
    KeepAliveInterval determines the interval between retransmissions keep until a response is received. If a response is received, the delay until the next keep alive transmission is again controlled by the value of KeepAliveTime.
    The connection will be broken once the number of retransmissions specified by TcpMaxDataRetransmissions is remained. KeepAliveInterval is set by default at 1000, which is one second.
    KeepAliveTime controls how many times TCP attempts to verify that an idle connection is still intact by sending a living package of the Dungeon. If the remote system is still reachable and running, he will acknowledge receipt of the living transmission to keep. KeepAliveTime is set by default to 7 200 000, or 2 hours.

    I hope this helps.

  • Connected to the ASA via the "VPN Client" software, but cannot ping devices.

    I have a network that looks like this:

    I successfully connected inside the ASA via a software "Client VPN" tunnel network and got an IP address of 10.45.99.100/16.

    I am trying to ping the 10.45.99.100 outside 10.45.7.2, but the ping fails (request timed out).

    On the SAA, including the "logging console notifications" value, I notice the following message is displayed:

    "% 305013-5-ASA: rules asymmetrical NAT matched for flows forward and backward; "Connection for icmp src, dst outside: 10.45.99.100 inside: 10.45.7.2 (type 8, code 0) rejected due to the failure of reverse path of NAT.

    I have a vague feeling that I'm missing a NAT rule of course, but not all. What did I miss?

    Here is my configuration of ASA: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ad6p1Zac

    Hello

    You seem to have a configured ACL NAT0 but is not actually in use with a command "nat"

    You would probably need

    NAT (inside) 0-list of access inside_nat0_outside

    He must manage the NAT0

    Personally, I would avoid using large subnets/networks. You probably won't ever have host behind ASA who would fill / 16 subnet mask.

    I would also keep the pool VPN as a separate network from LANs behind ASA. The LAN 10.45.0.0/16 and 10.45.99.100 - 200 are on the same network.

  • 5.5 ESXi host is not able to connect to the network

    I installed ESXi5.5 U2. But the ESXi host grab an IP address from the DHCP server. I tried givind static IP of my office network, but still unable to connect to the network. I checked the CLI, the vmnico of the adapter is in place. Why the machine does not have an IP address?

    I started this machine from the network (available in the bios settings) and observed if an IP address is required. Then, I started the server from the hard drive. Surprisingly, it took an IP and I could connect via the network.

    After that, I plugged this NETWORK adapter to a different location on the same server. I found the same problem (do not take IP). But when once again, I did the "Network Boot" thing, it took an IP address and now it works fine.

    What is average?

    Apparently, my problem is solved, but I still don't know the reason.

  • How can I migrate an ESXi host since a vDS in a vSwitch with NAS storage on vDS

    I need to move some on a vDS esxi hosts to a standard vSwitch to move a new vCenter ESXi hosts

    I have two 10 GB network adapters that manage the ports VM, NAS storage and vmotion.

    Is there a documented procedure to move a vDS in a vSwitch, particularly for migration from NAS storage to a vSwitch?

    Thank you

    Tom

    No, you will need to do this on a per-host basis.

    I really recommend doing one by one, not in a hurry and checking all the networking before you proceed to the next step. Example: after migrating the vmkernel interfaces, check on a ssh connection to the host if it can vmkping the NAS. Before you move all the virtual machines on the host to the switch std, move one and check if the VM networking continues to function. This will prevent errors and downtime.

  • ESXi host have not of virtual machines when connected through vCenter

    Hi all

    I am facing a problem with 1 ESXi hosts. All other hosts are working properly.

    All hosts are managed by vCenter 5.1 VM. When I select this problematic host in vCenter and click on the virtual computers tab, it does not display anything other than a blank page. Then, it throws an error saying that the object has been deleted or has not completely created. The screenshot of the error popup is attached.

    However, if I connect directly to the host through the VI client, it does not throw the error and I can see the virtual machines it. If I have vmotion the vms during this host, I do not see these virtual machines via vcenter but I connect directly to the host and I can see the virtual machines. They work very well.

    What could be the cause of this problem.

    Thank you

    AG

    I would try restart the management agent on the host troubled or removing of vCenter and time.

  • Single recovery of ESXi host disaster using boot USB device.

    Here's the scenario. I have an ESXi host 5.0 running from a USB device on a server blade using shared virtual machine network storage and is scratch storage. I have a failure catastrophic host. Can I just plug the USB device into another blade in the same chassis and start getting my VMs back operational.

    In addition, in a similar scenario if I have two devices USB with the same configuration information about them can use as a backup in case of failure of the USB device or is it config info constantly being written to the USB device which is used at the time.

    At the level of the configuration, you need not, this means that as long as you take a regular backup of the config, it is ok.

    But when you need to set up a backup system if a production system does not go and change the Server Blade, be sure to provide a coherent zoning and LUN masking for the blade, if VMware will see the same number of unit logic and tables as before. Same thing applies for VLANS, switches to which the new blade is connected must be configured in the same way that the old blade was (its ports must be in the same VLAN), or some VM can't see the network correctly.

    1. If a system is corrupt and you just need a fresh USB boot

    Plug a USB stick fresh, possibly already installed, boot, and then send the archived configuration, reboot

    2. If a full blade goes wrong, you must change the server.

    Put the WWNS of the HBAS in the same areas that the blade HBA has failed

    Present the WWN of the HBA to the storage group

    If you use the same chassis slotin, the network should be ok, but if not, put the internal ports of the switch module blade matches the new blade in the same VLAN as port internal used for blade failed.

    If you use VirtualFabric / VirtualConnect on 10GBE NICs, you must set up the same way, it was too much on the failed system.

    I hope that its more clear now!
