dvSwitch - Failover VMNIC and network control?

Hello.

We move to a new data center and have decided to move away from the Nexus 1000v for Vmware vDS. Therefore, it is still a bit new to us.

We have 2 x 10 Gbit NIC. One for the traffic of the virtual machine and the other for vMotion, and they're tipping (standby) to eachother.

We are concerned that in the case of a NIC failover that vMotion traffic will affect the VM traffic too. What is the best practice to avoid that?

We considered on vMotion portgroup vDS assigning up to max 7Gbit traffic shaping traffic. This means that we will lose 3 Gbps when there is no failover... Advice or better ideas?

Info:

ESXi/vCenter 5.0 Update 3

Best regards
Pete

Use the actions of NIOC instead of limits on groups of ports for difficult traffic shaping bandwidth management. In this way, you don't waste bandwidth and you can even have two active uplinks VM traffic and vMotion. The NIOC will ensure that traffic is prioritized based on the actions that you specify.

    Need help to check the switch VMNIC and VNIC DVS mapping...

    I checked the command net-dvs, but it was not useful.

    Thank you

    Ravinder Singh...

    You do not have access on the interfaces between itself or this info is not visible in vCenter? Probably, you should talk to one who is in charge of your nexus dvSwitch.

    I don't know how it works on the nexus 1000v switch, but the output of the net-dvs provides information on balancing policy for all ports (note that he understands the uplink ports that may still occur as "port id of virtual source"):

    # net-dvs. "grep EI ' (Balancing | port)"

    port 320:

    source port = load balancing virtual id

    port 321:

    source port = load balancing virtual id

    port 177:

    source port = load balancing virtual id

    You should also be able to enter this info from esxcli, but I don't know if there is a hook to esxcli for the link. Perhaps, you can branch off with cisco of dvs esxcli vswitch network or something. On the dVS of vmware, you could do:

    # esxcli dvs lacp vmware vswitch network status

    LACP is disabled on DVSwitch.


    # esxcli dvs lacp get config vmware vswitch network

    DVS name LAG ID cards active network Mode

  • Windows 7 backup works, but does not appear in the backup and restore control panel

    I have Windows 7 Pro and have had a running backup on a network drive for a couple of years now.  So far it has worked well.

    Recently, my wife asked me to postpone this off-peak hours and I went directly to the Task Scheduler and update annex it.  I also had to modify the scheduled task to wake up my laptop computer to perform the backup.
    Now, after making these changes, I can see the event log that the backup started at time exact (01:00) he succeeded 30 minutes later.  I can also see on my network drive that it saved at the right time and the registry keys indicate the location of the network right.  However, when I go in the backup and restore control panel, he told me to "backup Windows has not been setup" (which previously he would show me the network location and the last backup time and the other at the request of autonomy.)
    I know that backups are still viable can I do a restore to the correct network location and properly, it shows me that I have backups on this drive.  So, why the backup and restore screen is now showing me that no backup copy has been put up any ideas?
    I'm a little worried that this change to the schedule has whacked a key somewhere that is using the backup and restore screen and finally the backups will fail and I don't notice unless I am constantly reviewing the event logs (which, for domestic use, isn't it convenient for me).

  • network access fails through network and network configuration file

    I have two WIndows 7 systems that are connected with 1 gigabit link.
    This configuration has been solid for more than 1 year.

    In the last few days, I noticed that I couldn't find the remote systems

    On the other hand, I can load files and access it with the software that already points to a folder on the remote system.

    As I said, there is no editing was done and it's a cable network to 1 GB.
    The status bar just never reached the right side of the screen.
    No error message was displayed.

    Its my third Dell laptop, this time I was hoping to buy a piece of high-end, but now I feel sorry for myself.

    Hi Novice_dell,

    I apologise for the inconvenience. The required drivers are updated in the support Web site. Inspiron 7520 works on the switchable graphics technology. Intel and AMD cards work in sync according to the type of application that you are running.  Simple application runs using Intel graphics card, where as a intense process are made by AMD graphics card. So update the driver on the manufacturer's Web site is unable to help.

    I recommend you to uninstall Intel, AMD drivers WiFi and video of the Device Manager. Video drivers are listed under graphics cards and wireless driver is under network adapters.  Delete folder AMD and Catalyst Control Center in programs and features.

    Reboot the system and update the drivers from the link below:

    http://Dell.to/QjjZDA

    Click on the link above, enter the system service tag and click on send, select the operating system from the menu drop down to get the drivers. Install the Intel graphics driver first, reboot the system and then install the AMD driver.

    Response for assistance.

  • iPhone 6 more issues activation and network on the latest iOS 9.3.2

    I have an iPhone 6 it is having problems with Activation and networking connectivity. I activated via iTunes and updated to the latest iOS 9.3.2 this morning. The phone remain active for a period of time and then come back to need activation.

    Using WiFi it is full bars but no connection. I'm typing this from my iPad on the same WiFi connection, so not the network. If I turn off WiFi and cell there still no connection. The phone will receive calls (even when stuck in the activation state) and can make calls after you have enabled from iTunes.  She was released a couple of times, but always the same question.

    I tried to erase and reload from iTunes to the top, but the restore function requires that find my iPhone service shut down on the phone and this step requires access to complete network.

    Try the following steps:

    • Try connecting your device to your computer and launch iTunes. Choose your device and click on summary > update.
    • If this does not work, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer and restart your computer.
    • When it restarts load iTunes and try to select your device and click on summary > update again.
    • If this does not work, it's time to try a restore. Press and hold the sleep/wake and home buttons on your iPad or your iPhone until iTunes gives you the option to restore your device.
    • When it's over, you can restore a backup, and you should be good to go with 9.3 running iOS.
