Disable HA or use the Maintenance Mode when the upgrade of the network switches

Hello

We expect the upgrade to our network switches. In the case where the hosts loose network connection I want to avoid having HA suddenly and guests try to run current virtual machines. What is best practices for cluster HA-activated in case guests loose network connection?

Disable HA or put all hosts in maintenance mode? Or is there another suggestion?

Vickers

If you are using vSphere 4 there is option to disable HA response to failure without disabling agents HA HA. This option has been added specifically for when you know you're going to do the maintenance of the network and that you do not want HA answer when the management network is down. It is much faster to do that that in order to completely disable the HA or put all hosts in maintenance mode.

  • Satellite A500-1GL: it is advisable to remove the battery when you use the network

    I know this is a silly question but its actually something I know not so thought I would ask.

    I almost always plug my laptop into the supply line (satellite a500 1gl)
    I was wondering have you actually keep the battery installed even when using the electrical network.
    Or is it really advisable to remove the battery when you use the network?
    I didn't know if the battery should always be in place.

  • Maintenance mode enough to stop SAN and networking?

    Community of VMWare,

    We will present some maintenance on your LAN and SAN network that connects our system of blade HP C-7000 with about 14 5.0 ESXi hosts and 3 HP Lefthand P4000 Series clusters (6 knots), 3 groups of VM. Thus, the chassis of C-7000 whole as well as the SAN will lose network connectivity. We do not have a second VM or SAN environment to migrate customers to.

    Our plan is to:

    1. stop all the VM to its customers.

    2. place all hosts in maintenance mode.

    3 temporarily disable HA and DRS to prevent vMotion when the host is brought back to the top of the maintenance mode.

    4 judgment of the SAN.

    5 stop/Perform maintenance on the network LAN/SAN switches.

    6. turn on the network switches.

    7 turn on the SAN.

    8 disable the maintenance for the VM guest mode.

    9. turn computer virtual guests.

    10. turn on HA and DRS.

    This sounds like a good plan? Do you see anything wrong with it? I'm curious to know if maintenance on hosts mode will be sufficient to avoid problems and whether the SAN data store and the road reconnects. I'm afraid that if I completely stop the hosts, it will create problems of network such as vmNIC etc renumbering.

    Your help and your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes, when we realize tests of UPS, we take the whole environment down, let the UPS stops completely and all...

    In addition, I also stop the hosts interview on the chassis as well...

    Have not had any problems... Touch wood

    If you do not change anything fundamental about the chassis or guests, you should be ok... And when hosts are down (if) then it won't matter if the uplinks disappeared... If you leave them in maintenance you will obviously see some, if not many, alarms

  • Cannot use the network after the first time backup volume machine

    Hello

    After the update to OS 10.11.4 my MACs are unable to use the network backup volume more.

    The volume of time machine is a device (RAID of LCM InXtron Taurus-S) external USB connected to a server of iMac (also running OS 10.11.4). Four MACs use this device as a backup time volume machine (all systems 10.11.4).

    What I've done so far has been clear the volume (twice) and rename with different names than in the past. Than I started the new backups for all of my MACs. The fist backup works fine for all machines. After it says, that the first backup is over, and he tries to perform the second backup an hour later, it is said that the volume does not support the necessary functions of AFP.

    I am still able to connect to the volume via afp: / /... If the finder (go to). As long as I use the volume for a single machine works. If I announce a backup from another machine, it evokes this error.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Can I connect a VGA cable simultaneously with a DVI cable to a monitor and use the source switch?

    I found a similar, but not exact question and I was wondering if I could use the VGA cable AND cable DVI simultaneously on a HP 2159 m monitor and switch back and forth from analog and digital using the source switch on the screen? I noticed that some casual games such as found at BigFish and other gaming sites works best on VGA on DVI but I like to watch movies and other DVI instead of VGA?

    I did two HP 2159 m monitor but it could in fact be wise space more convenient to just use the right now and switch from the analog to the digital format.

    Thanks for any response.

    Hello

    You will need to edit the video in the monitor source selection when you want to switch.  Don't put it on AUTO.

    For a test, connect two monitors and then configure your PC for two monitors. Then, remove the monitor as the secondary (VGA) and now connect the cable to the main monitor VGA port.  Now try the video source selection in the menu of the monitor.  I never tried it on my 2159 m but it can work.

    Some monitors do not react to two active flows.

  • why we use the network module

    Why use the network module? What is the purpose of it

    Hello

    When you buy a switch or router, it comes with some default interfaces and some empty slots.

    The default interfaces are usually ethernet interfaces; However, router or switch supports more types of interfaces. You can order and buy these interfaces according to your needs. New interfaces in the form of modules can be put inside these empty slots. Suppose you need a WAN connection between two places. If you buy a module WAN. It's like buying a card your computer's ethernet. Or you need to connect fiber optic cables to your router, you will need to purchase a module with a fiber interface.

    There are two types of module and also two different locations on the routers. Small slits are WIC and bigger for NM (network module)

    Module 1-network (your question).

    This is a great module which can contain a variaty of ports and also some NM modules and some WICs. These modules can usually be inserted into larger routers.

    2-

    WIC is smallest card that can be inserted into a router dirrectly or some cards NM.

    WIC and NM are a little old and today HWIC and NME are mainly used.

    Please click the link below to check the different types of module for router 2800. Take a look at modules with the prefix of NM, NME, WIC HWIC.

    Dear all,
    Help on this issue. I want to print the username in each page using the network printer. To identify which print this page.

    As much as I know that you can't do this with every printed page, but you can use the separation pages (* .sep) and have this printed on a single page at the beginning of each print job.

    Tip: Put the separator page in the folder % WINDIR%\System32.

  • I have a residential group put in place but apple of my wife air does not recognize and it cannot use the network printer

    How can I solve this problem?

    Only Windows 7 computers can join a homegroup.

    You need to set up a working group for non Windows machines using the network functions.

    And if you have a network printer suitable, then it should not matter what OS you have as long as it has drivers for this printer. I guess that you have a SHARED printer and not a network printer in your question?

Wen I click on scan (rather photo or document) I get a message: "Scan cannot be performed because another program or computer uses the network device. There is a little information on the HP site.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I contacted HP about this specific problem.  They informed me that it is an upgrade of Windows 8 that Twain issue and they do not support this problem.  Reinstall the current drivers of hp does not help.

  • Is it possible to debug an iOS device via a USB rather than using the network?

    Hello

    Is it possible to debug an iOS device via USB instead of using the network? I want to test demand for offline scenarios. Please let me know.

    Thanks in advance,

    Swathi.

    Router is on but disconnected from the internet. Your computer is assigned an ip address by the router. It will be something like 192.168.0.1 the IOS device can be 192.168.02. Most of the routers will identify attached devices and their IP via the administration panel. If you receive a Windows command prompt and type ipconfig, you will see the IP address of the PC.

    Your router is now a LAN - is differrent from being connected to the internet.

    Hi Vincent,.

    From the information provided, I found something that caught my attention:

    event 1014, events dns client:

    Name resolution for the name of flashservice.adobe.com has expired after none of the servers configured DNS responded.

    We had problems with Flash player since the last update. For reasons I can't explain included on Adobe finally release this 'novelty' that basically makes a request to flashservice.adobe.com that never get an answer (the domain does not exist). The event shows your machine is trying to achieve this t area and finally the request is aborted by Timeout.

    This may be related to your problems, maybe not.

    To work around the problem, you can add flashservice.adobe.com in your host file and that it points to 127.0.0.1 in this way the process not be waiting for always a response which only you and take the next step.

    I hope it helps
