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.

  • 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

  • Cannot connect to the ESXi 5.5 with VSphere client

    I have a new Dell server. I installed ESXi 5.5. I can ping and SSH in the host, but I can not connect with the vsphere client. I captured the vmkernel and host agent log management. I'm confused now as to what is the cause. I installed ESXi 5.5 on an SD card in the server. And like I said I can ping and SSH in the host.

    OK, I found that it was associated with MTU, MTU under voltage has been set at 1500. These are Dell switches if it matters. I removed the MTU setting for the management ports and then I was able to connect to vsphere with no problems.

  • 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

  • Cannot Connect to Host ESXi 4.1 with browser or Client VI

    Hi, I have a strange problem which has persisted since I first installed ESXi 4.1 on a server. First my setup:

    • ESXi Installable on a HP DL380 G6 server, 32 GB of RAM, 4xEmbedded NETWORK ports, Port NIC, 2 iSCSI x QLogic QLE4060C HBAs 1xDual adapter

    • HBAs configured for Jumbo and static IP frames but except that all the settings are default

    We have installed ESXi 4.1 with only the built-in port #1 connected to the switch. Everything went well and we were allocated the only active NIC (vmnic0) as the management interface. Once installation is complete, we were able to connect to the management interface using a browser and the VI client.

    We then connected NETWORK card and remaining HBA ports to the switch without loss of connectivity to the management interface. During our next restart we could no longer connect directly to the host using a browser or the VI client but could still ping the IP.

    We tried to restart the management agents, but it did not help.

    Here are the different startup scenarios, we tested and the results:

    Scenario #1 - Boot with built-in NICs, DP adapter cards, network and HBAs connected to the switch.

    • Can we ping the IP of host of Mgmt? = Yes

    Can • we consult to the IP host of Mgmt or connect using the VI Client? = NO

    Even if we try to unplug the adapter DP and HBA ports after starting we still cannot connect to the management using the Explorer or the VI Client interface. A reboot is required, and the script #2 or #3 must be followed.

    Scenario #2 - start with only the embedded and DP adapter NIC connected to the switch.

    • Can we ping the IP of host of Mgmt? = Yes

    Can • we consult to the IP host of Mgmt or connect using the VI Client? = NO

    If disconnect us the two ports of adapter DP we can then connect to the host via the browser or the VI client without having to restart. We can reconnect them and we continue to have access to the host, and everything is fine.

    Scenario n ° 3 -Boot with only the NIC integrated, including the Mgmt NIC connected to the switch.

    • Can we ping the IP of host of Mgmt? = Yes

    Can • we consult to the IP host of Mgmt or connect using the VI Client? = Yes

    Then we connected the DP adapter and the adapter port HBAS to the switch and all the connectivity was very good. This scenario is our solution for now.

    Other information

    The QLE6xxx ESXi module takes about 5 minutes to load during startup, when the HBAs are connected to the switch, but it loads successfully. Not sure if this is normal or not.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Paul

    This looks like a very unusual network for me configuration.

    Could you post a screenshot of virtual network configuration and add a few comments on the different configuration of the vSwitches and uplink connected.

    If I understand correctly that you have at least 3 vSwitches (management, virtual machines, and iSCSI), however, from what you wrote so far I do not completely understand how implement you.

  • Wath is real network setting for webscan with crossover cable?

    Hello everyone

    I have a problem with webscan.

    I have two desktop who are networked with a "crossover" cable one of these computers have two network port I connect my hp 6500 all-in-on with another "crossover cable" to a different port on this computer network.

    my setup ip in computer "1" with the port of two networks:

    192.168.0.1 ===> to connect to another computer

    169.254.199.1 ===> to connect to hp 6500

    my setting ip to the '2' with a single port network computer:

    192.168.0.2

    my hp 6500 ip setting:

    169.254.199.140

    computer 1 can find computer 2 and hp 6500. and 2 computer will find computer 1 but the problem here is that 'the computer '2' is not hp 6500 ".

    Help, please.

    If we don't want my network setting, that is - that's right.

    Note: both my os is windows xp.

    I apologize for my bad English.

    Have you tried to manually configure the IP 192.168.0.3 printer?

    You must also put the printer subnet mask to 255.255.255.0

    Which should allow the computer 1 routes IP printer to computer 2 packets (as computer 1 is turned on and the computer 1 provides routing between ethernet ports).

    It's worth a try.

  • Unable to connect to new ESXi 5.5 with vSphere Client hosts

    Completed the new installation of ESXi 5.5 on two new Dell PowerEdge servers last night.

    Trying to connect to them through the vSphere client fails.

    I can ping both servers without any problems from the server where the vSphere client is installed (it is not a domain controller but a Windows 2003 server - it has not .net 3.5 SP1 is installed).

    If I try to open the IP address of the host in a web browser http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx expires, however, if I try http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:902 It connects to the server, but rather than get the web page, I'm used to waiting with 5.1 I get this message:

    "220 VMware authentication daemon Version 1.10: required SSL, ServerDaemonProtocol:SOAP, MKSDisplayProtocol:VNC, VMXARGS taken in charge, taken NFCSSL in charge." I get this exact message even though I have telnet to port 902.  So I know that I can speak to the host, but have no idea why I can't connect to it or they have the tools to display in a web browser. »

    Try to use the same IP address with port 902 in the vSphere client to connect, I get this error:

    vSphere Client could not connect to "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx".

    A unknown connection error has occurred. (The client received an invalid response from the server. (The server committed a protocol violation. Article = ResponseStatusLine))

    I noticed that there was a lag of 2 hours and 4 minutes between the host server and the client's server.  I have reset the time to match up in the BIOS of the host server.  The test gave the same results.

    Probably unrelated, but throw it out there in case it points to an answer, when executing the "Test management network", ping passes to the default gateway and the DNS server secondary (which is Google 8.8.8.8) but fails for the main DNS (local IP) server and host name resolution is faulty.

    Ideas, help or solution would be much appreciated.  I need to get the network to this customer virtualized this week, and I would prefer not to have to go back to 5.1 if possible.

    Thank you

    I tried this on two servers, Server 2003 and using IE8

    Tested a theory using a VPN to my laptop Windows 8 IE 10 and it has worked perfectly, then tested on a Server 2008 R2 using IE9 and it worked perfectly.

    Installed Chrome on the two Server 2003 servers and worked perfectly.

    So in the end it was IE8 that was not compatible and all the problems at the origin!

  • Laser Jet 4100N: direct connection of Laser Jet 4100N using a crossover cable CAT5/6

    Hello

    I want to connect my Laser Jet 4100N directly to my laptop which only has USB and LAN ports.

    The printer has a parallel port and a LAN port.

    I have access to WiFi internet, the modem is located in another room.

    I have a CAT 5/6 connecting cable.

    I get the 192.168.1.8 IPv4 address for my computer by typing IPCONFIG at the command prompt.

    I connected the crossover between my laptop and the printer cable.

    Turn on the printer lit up an indicator on the LAN port on the printer.

    In the menu devices & printers, I added a new option of "using TCP/IP" printer and 192.168.1.8 provided IP address.

    The computer search TCP/IP but end in nothing.

    Please help me to communicate with the printer.

    Thank you.

    You try to use your wireless PC address to print with a wired device.

    Your PC has two network adapters, they are not in fact cards, they are integrated into the motherboard and but I will refer to them as cards for simplicity, or I could call ports.

    When you find the IP address of your PC you are probably finding an IP address wireless, but since you're wired card has never been configured statically and is not connected to a network there is no ip address.

    What I would do would be statically configure the IP address of the port wired on your PC, & I would something like 192. 168 2. 2, with a default gateway of 192. 168 2. 10, & a subnet mask of 255. 255 255. 0 and don't worry because you do not connect you to the largest network on the DNS servers. Then I go to the printer and change the network settings and give it a 192 IP address. 168 2. 10 and its default gateway I would set it to 192. 168 2. 2 and the subnet mask would be the same that you set on the PC.

    Regarding the process of search for the cable network on your PC etting sand information in map, I think you need to do some research of the internet based on your operating system. I mean version of Windows operating system. Windows 7 would be different from Windows 8 in perhaps a few minor details.

    The reason why I change that a number from 1 to a game in your IP address is that it puts the port wired into a network separate from the wireless port, in my view, that will keep your PC of confusion as to which port uses to communicate with the printer.

    And back to another part of the discussion, the default gateway of a network printer on a small network is often on the IP address of the printer because the printer has never try to connect to what outside the network, but in your case, we want to put the IP address of your PC wired port to ensure that When the preacher looking for information, outside of himself, he sends will go to your PC.

    Hello

    I have two hosts ESXI 4.1 with VSphere Essentials for VCenter license. I'm not able to move the virtual machine to one ESXI host to another (power off). It is not supported with VSphere Essentials license? Data warehouses can be shared between the two ESXI hosts?

    What is the size of your virtual machine, what is the speed of the network and how your local storage looks like? Using RAID? How many disks and RAID level? You have a battery attached to the RAID controller write buffer cache?

    The waiting period does not necessarily mean the tasks does not work. Often it is only a delay in the vCenter Server GUI, but the process is still running and you just need to be patient. You see the files being created on the target data store?

  • 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
