Dedicated NETWORK card?

• NIC dedicated for each VM VS a single NETWORK card

  Hello

  Wonder what would be the advantage or disadvantage of having dedicated NIC by VM. Currently I have 11 machines on a Vsphere 4 Update 1 and all the VMs that are 2008R2s windows pass through VMNIC0 in a GB switch port.  So if I lose this port, I loose connections to all VMs 11 and with 11VMs and 1 GBit port, bandwidth would be limited. I dedicated 4 ports on the very important physical switches to 4 virtual machines. I have 8 total NICs in the ESX host.  In this way, 4 virtual machines would not share the same port VMNIC0 and will have its dedicated bandwidth 1 GB each.

  Is it a possible practice, recommended?  It offers performance and bandwidth?

  Your comments are appreciated!

  If you need the best performance, you can use VMDirectPath and assign a physical NIC dedicated to a virtual machine.

  See: VMware VMDirectPath of e/s

  But this way, you lose flexibility and VMotion.

  If you are using more than one NETWORK card availability for your vSwitches.

  If you need also performance use multiple NICs.

• iDRAC 7 express, grouping of network cards

  Hello

  I can't access iDRAC when the grouping of NETWORK cards is configured. Is it according to the design guidelines? There is no work around for this?

  #idrac7express #NICteaming  

  Hello.

  Yes, it's normal. IDRAC Express does NOT use a NETWORK card dedicated for remote access, but rather use a LAN on motherboard (LOM) as a shared port. Now, once you have Teaming on the LOM ports, then the iDRAC Express cannot share all the ports with the team. The solution is to upgrade to iDRAC Enterprise that uses another port dedicated team card NETWORK for management traffic.

• Fusion on Mac Pro - dedicate a guest only NETWORK card (and have the OS ignore)

  As the subject says. Such a thing is possible?

  I don't know if I'm looking in all the wrong places, or just to ask the question properly.

  Here's what I was wondering:

  I have a Mac Pro with two network adapters. I want to use one for the host (OS X) and the other only for the guest OS. And using it for the guest OS, I want OS x to ignore it completely.

  If possible, how to apply such a facility?

  1 OS X > system preferences > network > Hardware icon > set order of Service

  • In the Service order worksheet, have the NIC priority placing the card NETWORK to use for the host at the top of the list, followed by the NETWORK card dedicated to the virtual machine, and then click OK.

  2 OS X > System Preferences > network

  • Select the card NETWORK dedicated to the virtual machine, and then to configure IPv4: stop selection, then click on apply.
  • Then to configure IPv4: check the DHCP with manual address.
  • Then for IP address: use a reserved address of 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255 IANA Internet Assigned Numbers Authority () and then click on apply.  It's the range of addresses for the automatic private IP addressing, which normally would be affected if the NETWORK adapter does not have a connection but not to worry, it will be... only for the bridge of VMware which will be defined in the next step.

  3 target Virtual Machine settings > network adapter > Bridged Networking, select the NETWORK adapter chosen for the use of the dedicated virtual computer.

  • Now the Virtual Machine will acquire its network router for the LAN Host Configuration information, or you can assign an address appropriate static IP, mask, subnet, gateway and DNS server IP addresses in the configuration of NIC in the guest OS if you wish.

  Note: If this doesn't work for you, even if as described, it works for me, you may need to manually select to configure IPv4: and use a reserved in the meantime address previously mentioned with a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask while providing the appropriate Host router LAN Gateway and IP addresses of the DNS servers.

  Another problem can occur if using a WiFi NIC dedicated to the virtual machine, some WiFi routers will not fill several IP addresses to the same MAC address.   If this is the case for you, then you will have to use wired Ethernet for NETWORK adapter dedicated to the virtual machine!

• The networking redudancy, 2 network cards, active/active or active / standby?

  I have two network cards available for my management network.   More 'design' documents that I saw an active set to NIC and the other in standby mode.  What is the advantage of this approach compared to their definition both active?  Suppose I have no limitation of NIC and these 2 ports are dedicated to management only.

  If you have no other exchanges on this vSwitch then you can leave them as an asset with no problems.

  Sometimes, the VMK vMotion interface is placed on the same vSwitch as VMK and if yes, it is good to separate them for different vmnic with active / standby.

• vCenter - multiple network cards

  Hello

  I have a vCenter Server 4 U4 with multiple NICs for managing esxi connectivity etc. All ESXi hosts are connected via a dedicated card. For security reasons I must add one host to vCenter managed on one vlan separated / network card. Is this a supported configuration or a configuration that someone uses?

  When I add the host to vCenter it disconnects after about 60 to 90 seconds. All firewall ports are open and nothing is denied, DNS works very well, as well as the ICMP between vCenter server and the host. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Good deal.  If the Windows Firewall looks like right check this KB: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1008030

• virtual network card to the physical network mapping and default loadbalancing

  What Virtual Machine virtual network card is map physical NIC.

  For example.

  lets assume Vswitch1 on host1 esx dedicated for the network of the virtual machine (port group) and it has 6 cards network linked to it (vmnic1, vmnic2, vmnic0, vmnic3)

  Load policy (default) Balancing - from the originating virtual port (it balances only outbound traffic through all the nic assigned to vswitch1 right?)

  ESXi host1 <-Vswitch1 (the VM network) <---(vmnic 0-vmnic 3)

  Lets assume that esxi hosting 6 virtual machines and each virtual machine has two network cards configured.  Through some documents, come out of that when the virtual machine is running, it gets connected to the ports of availabe on virtual swicth. say, I turn on the virtual machine in the order VM1, VM2... VM6.

  Vmname virtual adapter port on virtual switch1 Mapping of the physical network adapter                        

  VM1 eth0, eth1 1.2 which mappeed of the physical NIC to eth0, eth1?

  VM2            eth0,eth1                              3,4                                      ?

  VM3            eth0,eth1                              5,6                                      ?

  VM4            eth0,eth1                              7,8                                      ?

  VM5            eth0,eth1                              9,10                                    ?

  VM6            eth0,eth1                              11,12                                  ?

  Since we use load balancing based on the virtual port, can two virtual map of the same virtual machine are mapped to the two physical NETWORK card I want say eth0 VM1 is mapped to the (physical nic) VMNIC0, VM1 eth1 get connected VMNIC1 (physical nic).

  It would be great if you could explain how the virtual network adapters are mapped to the physical NIC Y at - it a command or a script to the list NIC(of all vms hosted on esxi) virtual NETWORK adapter mappings physical in detail.

  Is there a way to know what virtual NIC to connect to which physical NIC

  With the virtual NETWORK adapter, you hear the virtual card inside the VM? If if and when you use several VMNIC like you, there is no visibility in vCenter (usually vSwitches, we see with Distributed vSwitches).

  However, you can use the command-line ESXTOP tool in the view 'n', for the connection between the virtual machines and the outgoing vmnic.

• Best way to set up a host of ESXi 4 with only 3 network cards?

  Set us up an ESXi 4 Host with 3 cards.  It is a stand-alone server that will not connect to the SAN FC network.  However, we respect the vStorage VM function if necessary.

  With only 3 cards on hand, there's any suggestion on the speed and the consolidation of NETWORK cards that we set up?  Our network administrator wants to give us only 1 x 1 Gbps Connection + 2 x 100 Mbit/s.

  Your suggestion is requested

  Thank you

  Post edited by: TonyJK

  Since you do not connect to FC SAN I guess you have local storage or storage over IP.

  In this case it is recommended to dedicated 1Gbit link for IP storage. If you can not have dedicated you will share Gbit link between the storage on IP and VMs.

  100 MBit NIC cand be used only:

  (1) dedicated storage VMotion or IP management interface

  (2) relief links networks of VM and management failover

  You definitely need at least 2 running on Gbit network cards

• 10G and switch network cards virtual configs

  It will move in a new data center that has a capacity of 10G up to the switches in the baskets.  In our current environment of 1 G, we have seven network cables (6 for ESX) and 1 for the remote management of the server.  If we move to 10G we could cut the cables up to two for ESX and remote management.

  Our current Setup uses a vSwitch for the console, another vSwitch VMotion and private traffic and a third for public traffic.  Each of the three vSwitches has two network adapters physical, assigned to the redundancy.

  If we go with NIC 10 G in the new data center then of course we have only a single virtual switch with two network cards in 10G for redundancy.  I wouldn't have the isolation we have currently with three virtual switches, but given that we're going to use VLAN exclusively in the new data center I don't see a problem.

  Any thoughts on the advantages or disadvantages?  Of course, we will follow the HCL to select a network adapter. 10G compatible

  I think that the reason why many customers today use more than 2 x Gigabit connections is mainly for reasons of security rather than the problems of bandwidth (FT could introduce a little challenge and you could use the same pair or a dedicated third party adapter if you are really concerned for VMotion).

  I wrote about this concept a little back: http://it20.info/blogs/main/archive/2007/10/30/75.aspx

  This hour IB seemed to be the best placed to do this today I think there is a consensus that it's the way things are going to be built... but using 10 Gbit (harmonised rules ethernet - which also includes storage traffic).

  Back to your point I don't think that, in General, a simple increase in bandwidth will solve magically all the segmentation/security concernd that led us to dispose of separate network cards of 6-8-10-22. VLAN / exchanges have been around for a long time and their implementation (or lack of theorof) on the host ESX has been achieved through physical segmentation rather than raw bandwidth concerns. This may be different for you (good for you).

  This will change with Enhanced segmentation/QoS features added to Ethernet protocol to join this converged network that talks about Cisco.

  My 0.0002 cents.

• Lack of network card for laptop HP Pavilion

  I use my laptop at home for about 8 months now and decided to downgrade from Windows 8 for Windows 7 Home Edition. This was done due to the frustrating nature of Windows 8 etc. I was able to start my CD and install Windows 7 but can't connect to the wireless network. Router is as well as all other smart devices use. I get an error message saying that my network card is missing.

  My laptop was running windows 8 64-bit and is now running windows 7 64 bit. Is it eay to fix. I am not a Curmudgeon, instructions or advice would be so well in simple terms.

  Thank you

• Pavillionp 6601f: can I put on my windows desktop computer wireless network card 7 HP p6601f

  Can I put the network card wireless on my HP model of office p6610f on windows 7 64 bit to get the best wireless connection?

  VJP2002, welcome to the forum.

  According to the Product Specifications for the computer, it came not with a wireless card installed.  However, you can add a.  Here is a card that should work for you.  It uses the technology of KT (Gigabit).  This means that your router must support AC.  However, it supports 802.11 a/b/g/n.  There are 3 PCI Express x 1 slots on the motherboard.

  There are other options, for example, wireless USB adapters.  You don't have to open the case and install them.

• 2000-412NR HP: lack of network card

  My step mother network card has stopped working recently. It is said to update the drivers, but she can't do it because his computer won't let it connect to the internet. I tried to help him by downloading my computer network cards and set up his computer but nothing works. I was hoping if someone could help me find the right adapter and tell me how to install it correctly.

  Thank you.

  Hello:

  This driver must have worked on several operating systems, and all you had to do was double-click on it and run it.

  If you do not see a device listed in the Device Manager, labeled as a network controller, there is something else wrong that I won't be able to help you.

  A wireless card that is missing a driver appears in Device Manager in the category other devices labeled as a network controller.

• Satellite Pro L10 - wireless network cards are compatible?

  I have now managed to dual boot my older Toshiba L10 with XP and Windows 7.

  The existing wireless LAN card is not compatible with the Windows 7 partition and I use an external usb wireless.

  Does anyone have recommendations on an internal wireless card I can buy which can replace the existing one and is both compatible with XP and Windows 7 32-bit? Is it easy to replace one card with another?

  Hello

  Hardware upgrade on mobile machinery is very limited and most of the information you can get on an upgrade supported for RAM or HARD drive. Upgrade for all other hardware is not supported, so actually there is no info on the hardware compatibility.

  Nobody here can offer you a list with 100% compatible cards WLAN.
  What WLAN card is inside your old L10?
  Have you tried to install the drivers of Toshiba Portal Wlan WLAN - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/

  Download driver driver from here and install it. Maybe this will help you get the wireless network card is functioning properly.

• Satellite Pro L630-12: the Ethernet controller v v. WLAN network card

  Basic questions:
  My Satellite Pro L630-12F has (A) an Atheros AR8151 PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet Controller, and (B) Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter.
  Toshiba continues regularly informing me that a Wireless Lan Driver update was released, which I need to install.

  First question: is Wireless LAN Ethernet controller driver or the network card?

  I have check the versions on my machine of both (A) and (B) with the PC diagnostic tool and find that (B) is the latest version (5.60.48.35) and (A) is a very old version (1.0.0.26). I download the latest version (9.2.0.316.0) of "Atheros Wireless LAN Adapter" for my machine from the Wireless LAN Driver download page (Windows 7 (64)) and run the file. But, everywhere I look, my machine continues to say that the version of (A) is (1.0.0.26).

  Second question: am I update the Ethernet Atheros controller when I download and run the Atheros Wireless LAN Adapter?
  If Yes, then why doesn't it show the latest version information?

  Sorry for the basic questions, but I found no explanations in various forums on the difference between 'ethernet controller', 'network card' and 'Wireless LAN' after searching several times. I'm afraid that Toshiba keeps informing me that I don't have the latest version of the wireless LAN driver despite my efforts to follow their instructions.

  > First question: is Wireless LAN Ethernet controller driver or the network card?

  Ethernet controller can be both; WLan and LAN in your case I guess that WLan is Ethernet controller, it would seem if the WLan driver is not installed

  Your laptop L630-12F seems to bear card Broadcom BCM94313 WLan and the driver can be found here:

  This is driver LAN!
