Distributed port group
Hi guys,.
Is it interesting / reason to be distributed without an adapter vmkernel port group?
I guess that you are referring to a vmnic, the physical network card? If so, the answer is "rarely". The virtual machines in this group of ports cannot talk about what anyone outside the host on which they are located.
If you are talking about vmkernel from the host interface, the reason why you would have a dvPortgroup without that one would be a VM guest liaison.

Get-nicteaming of the distributed port group.
Hello.
I try to get nic teaming policy of dv port groups, but had issues with pipes (5.5, 5.5 dvswitch vsphere, powercli 5.5.0.6632):

Then, if I try this:
PS C:\Windows\system32 > $pgs | foreach ($dv Get-NicTeamingPolicy - VirtualSwitch - VirtualPortGroup $_)
I got an error on the conversion of 'VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Host.Networking.DistributedSwitchImpl' in 'VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.Host.Networking.VirtualSwitch '.
If I try this:
PS C:\Windows\system32 > $pgs | foreach (Get-NicTeamingPolicy - VirtualSwitch $dv.name - VirtualPortGroup $_)
I got another error on the conversion of types of vportgroup 'VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Host.Networking.DistributedPortGroupImpl' in 'VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.Host.Networking.VirtualPortGroup '. No luck with "..." -VirtualPortGroup $_.name' also, it says that I can not specify type string as input for - VirtualPortGroup.»
It seems that "get-nicteamingpolicy" comandlet cannot take dv types as input, but I don't know if.
Seems I forgot, you must use Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy to VDS switches

Set a vm network distributed port group
Try to set up the network to a virtual computer to a port group distributed. There seems to be a quick and easy way to do this - you need a small code snippet that does?
I was thinking something like this (u_vm is a Vc:VirtualMachine)
NIC var = new VcVirtualEthernetCardNetworkBackingInfo();
nic.deviceName = "VGA-myportgroup";
spec var = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();
for each (var edge in u_vm.config.hardware.device)
{
If (device.deviceInfo.label is "Network adapter 1")
{
Spec.Device = device;
Spec.Operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit;
Spec.Device.backing = nic;
}
}
u_vm.reconfigVM_Task (spec);
But as the bombs with this error:
[13:20:42.303 2015-06-23] [I] can't convert the com.vmware.vim.vi4.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec@ffb8e5cd in com.vmware.vim.vi4.VirtualMachineConfigSpec (workflow: meh / Scriptable task (item1) #17)
What about using the library for this workflow?

NSX Distributed Firewall - can you firewall connected vNIC distributed to port groups
Hello
If your virtual machines were connected to various groups of distributed (I.e. VLANs) port on a vSphere distributed switch, then you installed NSX, NSX allows create you firewall rules that apply to these VM vNIC is related to these same groups distributed port? I wasn't sure if you were first to migrate virtual machines to virtual switches before NSX allowed to assign firewall rules.
Thank you.
We can use NSX dFW windout enable virtualization of network (VXLAN and controller NSX) on the Cluster.
DFW NSX can operate on both VSS or vDS
NSX DFW works at the level of VM vNIC, which means that a virtual machine is always protected, regardless of how it is connected to the logical network.
VM can be connected to a port group VLAN supported VDS or a logical switch (port-group supported by VXLAN).

Consolidation and failover for the uplink on the Distributed switch port group
Hello
I have a problem with the implementation of a distributed switch, and I don't know I'm missing something!
I have a few guests with 4 of each physical cards. On the host eash I configured 2 virtual switches (say A and B), with 2 physical network by vSwitch using etherchannel adapter. Everything works fine for etherchannel and route based on the hash of the IP for the latter.
Recently, I decided to create two distributed switches and move the respective physical ports of virtual switches to this distributed switches. Once again, I want to configure etherchannel and route based on the hash of the IP. But when I open the settings for the uplink port group, aggregation and failover policies are grayed out and cannot be changed. Apparently they inherit configuration also but I don't know where!

You must set the card NIC teaming policy on trade in reality and not on the uplink group more expected.

Put virtual machines inside the VMkernel port group
Hello
Network for administrators of VMware SIAS layout:
"You can not put VMs within that group of port because it is made especially for a VMkernel port."
However, I use ESXi 5.5 and is able to put normal interface of VM inside the vmk port group. (I only created 1 vmk port group so all virtual machines in the same group with the vmkernel interface)
May I know if this is a new feature, or something is wrong?
Thank you!
This may be possible with distributed switches not with standard switches.

Hello world
I'm new to vmware, I have a standard switch and,.
I have to add a vlan. I have 4 esxi hosts in a cluster.
I have connected to the vsphere client. I clicked on one of the host (say host1) configuration - networking - add network-connection type machine virtual vswitch1 (which is my standard switch).
Under the port group properties, I gave VLANID-90.
It of over or do I need to change more.
But I don't see what vlan under host 2, 3 and 4.
Hello
I'm trying to understand: you try to configure the computer virtual portgroup host1 and see a new portgroup to host 2-3-4?
Adding a vlan in virtual switch means add a machine virtual portgroup, and these steps must be made to achieve this:
1. Add vlan physical switch (and the junction ports that are connected to the host)
2.1 if you have a distributed vSwitch, simply add a portgroup distributed with the id vlan correct (the configuration is split at the host that are connected to this virtual switch)
2.2 If you have a Standard switch you must create a group of ports of std in vSwitch for each host that is to be connected (this is your case)
2.3 If you have a standard switch and you want to do this in a single "action", you must use a powershell script
Hope this might be helpful...

Distributed Port Mirroring on hosts in same vDS
Hello:
I have two hosts (esx01 and esx02) 5.5 ESXi running connected to the same vDS 5.1. I have no problem passing traffic between virtual machines that are on different hosts and in the same port group, so I know the vDS does what it is supposed to. Each host has 8 vmnic and vDS 8 links rising, all set to active.
However, when I install a port mirroring distributed on the vDS and choose a source port and the destination port, I get only the traffic on port of destination if the ports are on the same host. If the source and destination are on different hosts, no mirror traffic is received.
Sort of, I worked around it by using the following https://everythingshouldbevirtual.com/vmware-vds-rspan-port-mirroring, however, that ends up giving me lots of duplicated packets when I attach to a single connection (probably the switch is to see the input/output traffic on the two vmnic of in the binding rising vDS?) For each package, I see 8 duplicates.
But it seems to me that it should "work" without having to do anything to miss. I also tried to look: vSphere 5.1 - VDS - Port Mirroring feature enhancements - part 3 | VMware vSphere Blog - Articles VMware., but with that it seems that are filled with separate vDS, which in this case an RSPAN makes sense to switch to pass traffic. But in my case, it's a simple switch that is sitting between two hosts connected to the same vDS.
Thoughts or directions to guide me to the answer would be greatly appreciated!
JoshHello jmapt,
Please note the following:
Page 152:
Distributed Port Mirroring: Mirror of packages of a certain number of ports distributed to other ports on the same host. If the source and destination are on different hosts, this type of session does not work.
And:
vMotion compatibility:
Port mirroring between ports distributed may be local. If the source and destination are on different hosts as a result of vMotion, mirroring between them will not work. However, if the source and destination are moving to the same host, port mirroring works.
Good vDS seems to essentially be a single switch is not. The control plan is unique and is driven by vCenter but the real data plan in at the host level, and each host has its own data plan for the vDS. So the underlying terms of data are they different switch running on different hosts.

How the Virtual Machine port group communication?
How the Virtual Machine port group communication?
Port group is virtual aggregation of ports on vSwitch. A vSwitch can have multiple Port groups which separate the different network traffic. Port groups communicate with vSwitch, and we have physical network maps on vSwitch which establish communication with the external network. We can configure security, NIC teaming, traffic shapping nework political and at the level of the port groups. Once the port group is created, we can assign to vNIC
How to establish communication?
Public network > Switch L3 Core > ESXi physical adapter > vSwitch > groups > virtual NIC > Virtual Machine
Virtual machine connect to the physical map using vNIC coming on Port groups. This is how it works.

Automate the network port group selection in vsphere replication
Hi, when you use the vsphere replication tool to recover servers in the data center of DR, the tool does not gives option to select network settings. I have to manually add the port groups and turn on the system remotely vcenter. Is it possible to automate this process, when the replication of a major part of the vms ~ 100-150. I would like to know if there is another way to fix the process and avoid the manual load.
I use replication of vsphere device version 5.8
Thank you
The only way to automate this process is through the Site Recovery Manager. Automate and orchestrate BC/DR is a big part of the value offered by SRM. The other advantage is the ability to test your recovery plans without disruption of service.
Does that answer your question?

An easy (hopefully) change of multiple VMs port group
Hello
I have about 50 VM (all with different naming conventions) and I need 47 of them to change their port group for a special (and the last 3 to another)
I managed this by:
Get - vm VMNAME3 | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName "dmz-vlan999" - confirm: $false
But I'm trying to avoid running 46 additional lines (one per VM), is it possible to do this easier than 47 lines?
Thank you!
You have these VMs 47 in a file somewhere? A text or CSV file?
Then you could do
$vmNames = get-Content vmnames.txt
Get-VM - $vmNames VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName "dmz-vlan999" - confirm: $false
If you have a CSV file with this layout example
VMName
VM1
VM2
Then you use this as the first line
$vmNames = import-Csv vmnames.csv | %{$_. VMName}

OK, so you just need to do an Import-Csv inside the loop and change the variables accordingly.
What is the provision of this CSV file?

iSCSI Initiator Port Group error
Problem adding in the vmk second to an existing iSCSI vSwitch. Original config was 2 vmks - all worked successfully. 1 vmk has been removed to solve network problems.
Re-created the 2nd vmk, but when going down one of the cards the unused category as soon as active network OK is selected the message "this vmkernel port group contains a NETWORK card.
which is related to an iSCSI initiator. Change its settings could disrupt the connection to the iSCSI data store"is displayed. The response options are Yes or no. A screenshot is attached.
vCenter is version 5.0 U1b. The host is ESXi5.0 U2 and mode of maintenance with none of the guests. The host on the local disk not stop SAN. I can safely click Yes, then go back and
move the vmnic or is there a better way to fix this problem. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing the information. Please try below steps:
Step 1. Remove links in the existing port and reboot the host.
Step 2. Change the port iSCSI and vmnic preferred value to active group and move the second unused NETWORK card.
Step 3. Change group 2-port iSCSI and vmnic preferred value in the active State and move the other card unused NETWORK.
Step 4. Add vmk1 and vmk2 under links in the port iScsi initiator network configuration.
I hope steps above will help to solve the problem. If you encounter the error even if you please let me know.
