Connect two ESXi 5 hosts via crossover cable

Hi all

I am trying to configure two separate of ESXi hosts so that I can run Veeam replication on the subnet that I will create on the crossover cable. I have an open port on a NETWORK adapter on each host, but I could not understand how to assign an IP address for each port. The destination host has not all VMs, so I can't configure the port through the guest OS. Is it still possible?

Thank you all!

It is possible - you need to create the vmkernel ports that use these physical uplinks

  • How to connect two ESXi hosts with a connection to 1Gbps via ADJUSTABLE and the transfer of files between them?

    Dear community,

    Like many of you, I am facing the problem of executing an effective backup of VMs. unfortunately I can't use standard methods: my servers are rented from the root servers and therefore haver some limits. Their main NIC is connected to the Internet on the speed of 100 MB. It's very slow, if I try to VM backup via this connection images. In addition, backup sessions running through the shared management interface are affecting the production of virtual machine performance.

    To resolve this problem, I ordered an additional network card to each server and asked the data center to connect my themwith a physical link (crossover cable). OK, between my servers 1Gbit link is established, but how do you use now?

    -I can not move the management interface of these cards, because they have no connection to the internet.

    -I can't use among the guest computers because the guest computer is unable to access the files on disk on the host computer.

    So, I've exhausted all my ideas. Maybe someone knows the trick that will let me use 1 GB link between two machines of ESXi to mutually backup disks of virtual machines from one host to another.

    Thanks in advance for your ideas.

    Create a vSwitch on each host and set the NETWORK adapter that you will use with the x-over cable.

    Create a portgroup Console of service on each vSwitch and assign it an IP address on the same subnet for each server (router/gateway address does not necessary) for example 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 on each host.

    Connect the cables between the server network cards.

    You should have a link between two service consoles. I now download and deploy the device of the vMA, on the two hosts for the fault tolerance. Write a script on the VMAs on each host to a-i vmkfstools from one host to another and vice versa.

    If you have virtual machines registered pointing these VMDK on both hosts, then have your scripts remove the VMDK and re - the clone using vmfkstools whenever you back up, you should have a backup solution of rudimentary virtual machine (full copy) in place.

    Now you do not miss the service console?

    Good luck

  • Connect two VSphere ESXi 5.0 with crossover cable

    Hi all! A newbie in the ESXi 5.0

    I configured both servers of VSphere ESXi 5.0 with two network adapters on each server, the first NETWORK card acts as a virtual Internet switch, and the other NETWORK adapter serves only the link of communication (Heartbeat) between two VSphere Esxi 5.0 using crossover cable.

    My question is, how can I create such change in VSphere in a problem of communication between these 2 servers with a crossover cable? I would like to connect my (CentOS 6) VMs on each server via this network adapter with cable modem Simulator for the purposes of the communication of pulsation. I know how to create a normal vSwitch who can communicate with the Internet, but I have no idea how to create a switch for the NICs connected with a crossover cable.

    Please drop me a line if you know how.

    P.S. The idea to use the crossover cable rather than use the simple ethernet cable is the cable eliminates the overhead and to avoid the lack of packages due to the processing time of the switch.

    I know not how to create one with ordinary vSwitch to establish a connection with the Internet, but not this vSwitch with crossover cable.

    There is no difference. Build a vSwitch as your normally would, including the NETWORK card that is connected via a crossover as your uplink cable.

  • I want to thank my wifi in another part of the House with an Airport Extreme. But I want to not be connected to the modem main via ethernet cable is it possible?

    I want to thank my wifi in another part of the House with an Airport Extreme. But I want to not be connected to the modem main via ethernet cable is it possible?

    I put in place already to extend the wifi of my modem still connected to the modem via ethernet cable.

    Now I want to be considered on the floor and use it to extend the wifi without ethernet cable

    The AirPort Extreme can extend only wireless signal from another router from Apple, so if you want to take the AirPort Extreme on the floor and extend wireless signal, you will need another airport connected to your modem by Ethernet cable router to produce the wireless signal that will extend the extreme on the floor.

    Another way of saying the same thing would be to say that if you want to extend wireless using a router from Apple, you'll need two of them do... because AirPort Extreme is not compatible with a third-party modem or modem/router for this purpose.

  • Connect XPS 17 LCD TV via HDMI cable

    I have a XPS 17 L701X- and I'm trying to connect it via HDMI cable for a 32 '' LCD TV Phillips girlfriend with backlight. However, no matter what I try, the laptop never acknowledges that the TV is there and vice versa. I tried to restart, reinstall the video drivers, fiddling with settings in the control panel for multiple screens, tried two new HDMI cables separated from Amazon - and nothing works. (The TV works fine when it connects its Macbook via HDMI). Can someone please help?

    Well Mitch, I advanced and bought this adapter part and, lo and behold, the work of workaround! First try also (at least in my case)-without debugging or diagnose.

    Process, my three steps:

    (1) I plugged the adapter Mini DisplayPort for my XPS (around the back next to the HDMI port); (2) I connected the HDMI cable to the adapter (the other end of the cable is already connected HDTV); (3) I have pressing F1 on my XPS and duplicate selected (key Windows + P or "Connect to a projector" If you work via Control Panel).

    (I used StarTech Mini DisplayPort HDMI adapter)

    -site of the factory that it lists as $22, but I bought mine from a local store of tech for less than half that price. I hope this helps!

  • migrate vm via crossover connection

    We need to migrate virtual machines to a single stand on a new stand-alone esxi Server esxi server. Both are managed by the vcenter server.

    The network infrastructure supports only 100Mbit. So I thought that I could connect old and new server via a cable crossed (1Gbps) and create a group of ports that should be used for the migration.

    I was able to create the port group and set it to allow the management and vmotion (test with vmkping works very well) but if I try to migrate a powerd off vm that I do not operate the crossover connection is beeing used.

    Is it possible to use connection 1Gbit for migration instead of the slow 100Mbit?

    old server esx 4.1 new esxi5.0

    These are versions of the host, but what version of vCenter are you running?

    If you use this kind of cold migration via vCenter, he will choose the management interfaces depending on how they are registered in vCenter.

    Consider the following:

    You have the hosts A and B which have two with the AX/AY IPs management interfaces respective and BX/BY. You have saved your hosts to vCenter with IP AX and BX (or by a DNS name that points to these IPs). The result is that the migration process cold will take place between these two survey periods. Other interfaces are not considered cold migrations.

    If you have saved the hosts via DNS names, it might work if you temporarily change the local file/etc/hosts on the two hosts with AY and BY the respectively other host.

    Apart from this, you could create a virtual computer on the crossover network, which acts as a server with VMware Converter V2V, connection to two hosts via their AY and intellectual PROPERTY to do a conversion, V2V from the target VM on the crossover network.

  • Pavilion TS 14: Projection TV via HDMI cable

    Bought the laptop in 2013, found I couldn't connect the laptop to TV via HDMI cable, the HP support team fixed by using remote access to my laptop. I recently installed and uninstalled Windows 10 and have found that I have the original problem of not being able to connect to my TV again.

    No one knows what to do to fix it. I have prints of what HP has done to fix previously, but it did not work.

    Any suggestions?

  • Connect two PCs using Windows 7 with a crossover cable

    Hi, I used the crossover cable to connect two PCs with Windows 7 pro 64-bit and I did everything right I know, but computers do not display the each other. How can I solve this big problem!

    Default gateway cannot be 0.0.0.0. In addition, computers must be able to talk to each other, so the gateway must match the IP address of the other computer. Right now, the installation program is not talking to each other.

    Try this:

    PC 1

    IP: 192.168.2.1

    SUP: 255.255.255.0

    Gateway: 192.168.2.2

    DNS server: 192.168.2.2

    PC 2

    IP: 192.168.2.2

    SUP: 255.255.255.0

    Gateway: 192.168.2.1

    DNS server: 192.168.2.1

  • Can you connect two cable on wifi networks?

    Basically, I'm trying to build it.  It was much easier in photoshop than to the fact of installation.

    There are many features, some wired, some wireless.  I ran son where I can run threads, but it's a bit more difficult that I thought for a domain.

    Basically, I need to connect two wired over wifi networks.   The 2nd must share this wifi via ethernet. (I can exchange picture 2 and 3 if necessary)

    There are also two 4-port switches in the mix for the NAS in the basement and other devices connected.

    Everything works the latest firmware. All computers on the network are running 10.11.4 Mac

    Can you connect two cable on WiFi networks?

    In theory, Yes.  In practice, not if you work with image, video files or other media.

    Honestly, it's a big House of cards, and even if it does not, it will be very SLOW... Since everything will depend on a connection without wire between Imagine and Imagine 3... and wireless will be much less bandwidth of a wired connection, not to mention the much less reliable than a wired connection being.

    If unfortunately, the bottom line here is that a professional, or even a good amateur would never has something like this.

    There are some other questions to ask, but by far the most important would be... is it possible that Imagine and imagine 3A connect using a wired Ethernet cable connection?

  • Variables shared by using two computers and crossover cable

    Just trying to put together a simple testbed linking two computers by a crossover cable.  They correctly ping to each other.  I used examples of LabVIEW for TCP connections and they speak properly that way too.  I try to create and deploy variables shared on a computer, but the other computer will not identify not the SV on the first computer and vice versa.

    Can someone give me some details on how to build, deploy, and use effectively SV?  I have read all the documentation NOR, but I don't get the step-by-step approach very well.

    Thank you.

    Are you making them shared variable network published and linking them to each other? This document gives a very good step by step:
