Create groups of ports from excel

I have a spreadsheet with 60 groups of ports, that I need to create. My fields are VLAN and name. Looking at the cmdlets reference guide , it seems that the command to create one would be Get-VDSwitch-name 'Boston ' | New-VDPortgroup-name 'test SQL VLAN 250″ - VLanId 250. Can someone help with the structure to create it from an excel file? I'm checking the rate maximum config to see if I hit a limit about my ports with vSphere 5.1 and need to set a number of ports per port group. Thank you.

Try something like this

$dvSw = Get-VDSwitch -Name "Boston"

Import-Csv dvPortgroups.csv -UseCulture | %{  New-VDPortgroup -Name $_.PgName -VlanId $_.VLanId -NumPorts $_.Ports -VDSwitch $dvSw}

The CSV file is supposed to have 3 columns

PgName, VLanId, Ports

PG1, 100, 32

PG2, 100, 32

You can check the number of available ports on the dvSwitch first, to see if you can add he's the ports required for exchanges

  • Migration of the existing groups of port DVS vSwitch

    Hey guys,.

    I am looking for a good article, but so far I don't have if existing port a groups with std vSwitch ESXi can I migrate to a newly created DVS.
    I saw VMs, Assistant network management, but it seems that I have to create all the groups before port.

    Is this really the case? as I have 70 groups of ports and I don't want to do the job manually.

    Any suggestion?

    Thanks in advance

    Evening,

    This process can be script but yes destination port groups must be created first.   I suggest to use the Onyx project to get the commands in powershell to create groups of ports.  Personally, I have 700 groups of ports and I understand your pain.   Onyx will allow you the creation of a port group unique in powershell then all you need to change is the name and vlan id.   If you have the standard naming, you should be ok...

    Let me know if you have any additional questions or I missed your question.

    Thank you

  • Number of groups of ports and VLANs by vSwitch

    Hi all

    I'm looking for any insight or best practices in what concerns the number of VLANs that are ongoing to shared resources on a vSwitch.  Our ESX servers, there are 6 physical network adapters associated with (using the property intellectual hash).  These cards are the uplinks to the vSwitch which provides the virtual machine networks.   We use VLAN Tagging (VST) and created groups of ports for each Vlan ID.  Until now, we have about 7 groups of ports for 7 different VLAN.     I know the max is 512, but are there aspects to add several groups / VLAN port that I'm missing?  (We use vSphere 4.1)

    Thank you...

    Groups of ports by vCenter limit is 5000, but you do not sound as it reaches.

    Really, for the number, you have (7) you are a pretty small network as much as standard implementations are going, and you'll be fine.

    I don't think it is interesting to look at if you really expect to be using all six ports - it is rare for aggregation in order to get increases in actual performance beyond two, and often 'more' is not better.

    LACP changes things a bit, but it does not apply to many environments.

  • Rename groups of ports

    Hello

    In vCenter via web client, I added a vswitch to some host. I have added a group of ports for the new vswitch so that I have two groups of ports on each vswitch who manage some physical cards and renamed the old port 'VM Network' groups while it appears on the web with a unique name client network tab that hostname in it.

    I put the network card of virtual machines to the new port groups.

    The old "VM Network" "VM Network1" and the "VM Network2" still appear in the web client, Network tab, they have even machines in the old network, although I changed to they renamed network. So the machine appears twice, in the new one the old network. I can't get rid of the old network. When I try to migrate virtual machines from the old to the new network, the list is empty.

    vmnw.gif

    Also, when I try to clone a machine, I get a warning that the NIC of the virtual computer using a network ("the new network name") that are not accessible. It seems to me, the old network names are still in use. Is there a chance to fix this? I'm afraid to have performance problems.

    The virtual machine have Active snapshots, where shots were created so that virtual machines were still attached to the groups old port? In this case, the ports 'ghost' groups should disappear after deleting snapshots.

  • Import of groups of ports in vDS using powershell and

    I have a VCenter 5.5 with a 5.5 vDS. I'm trying to import several groups of ports in the vDS using powershell. The script is below. I'm under problems in trying to put the "Teaming and Failover" option to 'Route based on a physical load' by default 'Route based on originating virtual port' for the Group of individual ports, I know that I can do from the client, but I would like if possible do it with a script. Someone point me in the right direction? Port groups to import very well with all the correct settings, that I put, but I can't seem to find how to set the load balancing policy.

    to connect-viserver 'myvcenter '.

    $vds = Get VDSwitch -name "my Switch VD"

    Import-Csv c:\temp\vdsportgroup.csv | % {New-VDPortgroup -VDSwitch $vds -Name $_. Name -VlanId $_. {VlanId -NumPorts $_.ports}







    Edit: Scratch that I wrote earlier, it was with the older VDS cmdlets. This should work:

    Get-VDPortgroup MyVdPg | Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy | Game-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy - LoadBalancingPolicy LoadBalanceLoadBased

    You can simply direct the Group of newly created port directly object to cmdlets like this:

    Import-Csv c:\temp\vdsportgroup.csv | % {New-VDPortgroup - VDSwitch $vds - name $_.} Name - VlanId $_. VlanId - NumPorts $_.ports | Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy | Game-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy - LoadBalancingPolicy LoadBalanceLoadBased}

  • Two groups of ports with same VLAN on the same Vswitch?

    I'm doing a consolidation.  We had two different people put up two closed different of Vsphere and different network labels were used.   Of course the network labels must exactly match vmotion without losing connectivity.    So I was hoping that I could just create groups in double port on my vswitch for VLAN do not match them.  I know I could just migrate them and move quickly from the network label, but some of them are essential and may not fall.

    For example, on a cluster, I might have a port for Vlan ID 88 group that says 'Web DMZ'.  But the other cluster has "WWW" VLan ID 88.    Can I just create a second group of ports on the first group which also used Vlan ID 88 with the name 'WWW' and I started?    Which will cause problems with switching (loops, etc.)?

    Hope it makes sense.  Guess the short answer is can I I have two groups of different ports on a vswitch using the same VLAN ID tag without causing problems?

    Creation of several groups of ports with the same VLAN ID should not cause any problem. This is only marking/close the traffic to and from the virtual machine, is nothing like that of loops,... to be afraid of.

  • Access from Excel Add-In

    Hi all
    I gave all users access to planning, but when I watched the filters in essbase is show access as 'NONE' to all users. The typer of access Application for those users in Essbase is EssbaseAndPlanning.
    Can someone tell me how to refresh the planning security that can create filters in Essbase?
    I crossed the wire access Cube from Excel plug-in software component , but here I do not have the need for steps to be taken.
    Please provide your entries...
    ------------
    Thanks in advance

    This means probably that you have not set the access permissions for users/groups to all the dimensions that require security planning e.g. accounts, entity, scenario, version and all dimensions custom if security is enabled on them.
    Once access has been defined correctly security filters will need to be refreshed again in the planning.

  • vShield Manager interface network & group of port / vlan

    Hello:

    I'm new to vShield and looking to use it in our environment.  I read the documentation and seeks to install the first part, the Device Manager vShield.  By reading the docs, it specifies the management interface for the vShield Manager is in its own group of port.  Why is this?  Is it okay to put this interface in a group of existing port?  Is it possible in a port with another management SMV Group (vCenter, etc.)?  Also, is it better practice to have this in a standard vs dvswitch, or isn't it important?  I was looking through posts and the other docs and so far I don't see a clear reason why it must be in its own group of port.

    So far, the only element that we will consider is vShield Endpoint, for now.  We have no plans to watch App or Edge, etc.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    The Manager can be put on any standard or distributed port group. Do not create any new groups-port. The only thing that is necessary to access vCenter/SSO and DNS, NTP server (mirror).

    There is no need to create a new. IMHO, this could be a failure in the doc.

    Kind regards

  • Group of port and the naming convention for vLAN

    What is the naming convention better for groups of ports on vSwitches?  This naming convention should match how we name them VLAN on the physical switches and how important is that?

    Hi VMinator,

    To answer your question, he has not agreed to 'standard' for names of portgroup.  That's all what you're comfortable with the support and what works for you and your organization.  A bit like server names; Some companies are going hardcore with the naming conventions and others their name after the characters in science fiction or world of warcraft bosses

    Forensic science more you pack in a naming of the control standard more you have (i.e. for scripts, health check, etc. see below).  Also, if the name itself answers questions on his own and allows you to save a phone call that is priceless.  For example - the guys says unix... "Uh which network to choose for my new virtual machine.  My IP is blah blah blah. "Well, with right portgroup name, this question would have answered itself... and maybe even recorded some interruptions of service in other cases by the simple fact of being clear and effective in the communication of how this virtual device should work: purely expressed through an appropriate naming convention.

    Here's another one.  My last concert, we had thousands of virtual machines that had to move data centers and when they landed, they needed to change the IPs and start using 3 vNIC (instead of 1) on each virtual machine.  Each vNIC with a different subnet mask.  All support should be conducted by a team of outsourced with minimum experience of VMware.  The only way to support something like this and be effective is PowerCLI.  With just invited the naming convention only, you can perform various tasks such as query the virtual computer and check its settings of portgroup compared to its actual IP information in the operating system, initiate a ping from .NET to the virtual machine, if there is any questions Act automatically.  Some actions that will have to be performed include, for example, change the portgroup or mask on a set of clients;  Or questioning guests and glean information network (CDP, vSwitch, portgroup of information etc.) and compare observed network vs network expected enumerated in the PG naming convention. etc etc.  The list of actions that you can take are limited only by your creativity.  The naming standards give you effective power both in manual and automatic efforts.

    Still, notice of one man, but every site I care and feeding generally ends with a PG standard similar to what I first described above in my previous post.  Don't forget my example naming convention is Basic.  There are many other attributes that you can add (i.e. in vCloud deployments, in addition to the info network, you can choose to identify various features specific to vCloud org-networks, etc.).

    TBH just most of the companies have appointed VM-network exchanges (ok not bad) or some random shortname which doesn't help troubleshooting.  They are fairly easy to fix and also change over time, if necessary.  You can easily drag and drop a set of virtual machines (although I don't personally do this way) in the new port group (via the page of networking to CTRL + SHIFT + N) or PowerCLI it (Yes!  way to go).  Of course, always the ping tests before and after the change.  There are a lot of scripts out there (or ask master lucd post in PowerCLI VMTN forums).  If this is net-news, then you are ahead of the game and will have a standard to follow, whatever it is.

    Best of luck and have fun!
