• ESXi 3.5 - Management Port now a Vmkernel Port

  I built my first box of ESXi 3.5.  Wow I love the installation.  Had a working server complete in less than 15 min from start at once, as it was in the CR 2.5.  After installation, I noticed when I went to add a new vswitch so that at the end of the wizzard I wasn't able to create a port vmkernel on the same subnet as an another port of vmotion vmkernel.  I watched one noticed that vswif (vswitch0) did not have a console port.  The management port has been merged/rolls in a way vmkernel.  I checked a TI has the ability to make a port of vmotion.

  My question is... Is this OK or best practice or not a good idea to use the vswitch hosting the management port to get the vmotion traffic using ESXi?

  Hello

  Transferred to ESXi forum.

  My question is... Is this OK or best practice or not a good idea to use the vswitch hosting the management port to get the vmotion traffic using ESXi?

  I would treat the management port just like you would treat any network management, keep it separate. However, most people combine VMotion and management on the same vSwitch.  In general from a security perspective, the management is separated from VMotion. VMotion is a clear text Protocol, so access to it should be restricted to JUST ESX hosts.

  If it was me, I create an another vmkernel for VMotion on a different subnet, and give it it's own Teddy.

• About 4500 X VSS question management port

  I have two switches of 4500 autonomous X that I intend to convert vs. If I cable to the management port on the two switches for a cloud of management, what management port should be the IP address of management? It is the active switch port? If the active switch failed, the management of the standby switch port would resume the IP management?

  The management port is VRF mgmtVrf. Should I create a default for the VRF route ' ip route vrf mgmtvrf 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0... ' to point to the IP Address of the default gateway?

  Thank you

  When you convert the VSS chassis, only the interfaces of management (FastEthernet1) for switch-1 (active) will be visible in the config.  If you want both your cable management cloud management interfaces, but you apply only the IP address to the active switch.

  The management port is VRF mgmtVrf. Should I create a default for the VRF route ' ip route vrf mgmtvrf 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0... ' to point to the IP Address of the default gateway?

  OK, you need a default route in the vrf mgmt pointing to the bridge.

• HP DL380p G8 - packets ignored on the management port but not the virtual computer.

  I searched through discussions, but not found a request for my problem.

  We have added two new guest VM in the center of the customer data. Currently, they had 2 x DL380 of the G7 which worked perfectly for 2 years. We have added two new DL380p G8 and have some weird dropouts on the management ports. Currently using SAS-store data (no SAN or iSCSI)

  I have pre configured servers (2008 R2 on each single guest) before their move in the data center using ESXi 5.0.2 http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/software/vmware/esxi-image.html HP installation. Since we moved to the datacenter, however, the new servers to experience about 10% loss/fall of package to the management port IP, but 0 packet loss on the IP comments. It doesn't make a difference either if the management port and the vswitch are on separate NIC interfaces, same result when combined on the same network adapter.

  The Guest VM seem to work well and are not affected by the present, but any P2V we are trying to do currently fail due to loss of packets on the management port.

  Other host (DL380 G7) servers running the HP exsi distro 5.0.0 and don't suffer these questions.

  Any advice would be appreciated. I wanted going 5.1 because when I was configuring initially I wasn't aware that there was an application of conversion of VMware for him - it seems now exists, so if you think 5.1 is the answer, then I'm happy to go ahead and do it.

  I solved this problem, but thanks for all the help...

  Note for all the other people there. If you clone an esxi installation SD or USB or else save time, the MAC addresses of the server of origin met on the new server, regardless of the different physical MAC address.

  To resolve I had to run esxcfg-advcfg - s 1/Net/FollowHardwareMac on the server that had double MAC address list.  All the VMnic (4) in both servers had the same Mac as well just change the port not fix her. A new card would have solved my problem, but does not solve the problem.

  The problem was discovered running by displaying the ARP table.

• Traffic on the management ports load

  Can someone tell me what traffic is running on the management port?  I install vsphere 5.1 with 3 hosts, vmotion and san iscsi drive. I intend to separate management traffic on a closed network of 1 GB in which the management ports will connect to a 1 GB switch which will have a port connected to the global network.  Use VMotion cela this port strongly with its activities?

  The cluster will be slightly loaded with only 8 to 10 vm across all 3 four hosts of Quad Core processor.

  I intend to connect with NICs 10Gb iscsi san and dedicated switch.

  If I had to, I could use a 10G switch to the management network.

  The individual virtual machine will be nic interfaces 1 Gb individual key of the network if necessary.

  If you could tell me the documents that would also be appreceiated.

  any thoughts would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Ken

  "Best Practice" is said to have a network card dedicated to the management, and a dedicated for vmotion. Ideally different subnets / VLAN.

  In smaller environments, but I often will create this:

  vSwitch0 with 2 network cards (if everything goes well on the cards separated/asics) and with the management and vmotion vmkernel port. It works very well, thank you very much despite sometimes described as not "best practices." Well - I think that the concern is that in situations of heavy vmotion (especially when storage vmotion is concerned) traffic management could be hampered/flooded. I just never saw him in the real world, although in environments with more than 4-5 guests I always put in place in accordance with the "best practices" just because...

  vswitch 1 with 2 maps, 2 vmkernel ports (each with its own ip address) for iSCSI

  vswitch 2 with 2 (or more) network cards and however many ports of VM / VLANS are necessary.

  (just to be clear, the 'best practice' would vswitch 0 with 2 network cards and 2 vmkernel ports that configured in the management and the other as vmotion.) Each nic will be dedicated to a vmkernel, but available failover for others...)

• How do the 4000th Equallogic Installer management ports

  Hello

  We released Equallogic 4000E with two controllers. I would like to connect the management ports on our "management VLANs" society.

  But I don't know if I need two different IP addresses for the two management ports?

  Or I just organize just one IP address for one of the ports management and EQL will take care of the rest? I understand that a single controller is active at a time.

  Appreciate any clarification on this if you have storage EQL.

  Thank you

  But what I don't understand is the number of IP addresses do I organize for the "management interface."

  1 single IP on your network.

  The standby controller will have all the IP when it become active (and the other become Eve).

• separate subnets for the ESX/ESXi management ports (vMotion, manage, FT, etc..)

  Is it better to have all of your VMKernel ports on the same subnet or subnets separate (one for each role, iSCSI, management, vMotion, FT)?  Are their potential problems with either scenario?  Please include the ESX and ESXi.  I want to get my setup just as it should. Please let me know also if you need additional information.

  I have licenses for ESX and ESXi, but I'm leaning toward ESXi are all vSphere 4 Update 1.

  Hello

  In fact, you have to use separate subnets for your vmkernel ports but they can run on the same thread. You can share a subnet between a vmkernel and service console, but not between two vmkernels. Just like that. So yes, you need to use several subnets.

• WLC management port is another trunk that vlan native

  Hello

  I installed my first WLC 5508 with this topology:

  WLC connected trought distribution SFP 1 GB port to the port of switch configured as a Trunk port cut 3 Wireless VLAN:

  -Management WLC, wireless and wireless voice data Vlan (Vlan native is WLAN Management).

  -J' created 2 dynamic interface on WLC on my VLAN Wireless:

  10.7.1.0/24: default management Virtual Interface installing WLC +.

  10.7.6.0/24: Virtual Interface of voice and

  10.7.2.0/24: Wireless Data Interface virtual trought GUI.

  DHCP configured on each dynamic interface is the interface vlan L3 subent for SWITCH main technical IP DHCP Pool equal VLAN.

  WLC management interface IP address is: 10.7.1.10/24

  I create 2 WLAN SSID name with given ID 1, and ID2 voice.

  I create and AP group named APGRP1 that contains the AP recorded about WLC and using the two WLAN SSID.

  The two AP are connected to the switch acess port configured as native management WLC VLAN access port.

  I have to create 3 IP DHCP pool on main switch with the related L3 Interfaces for Inter VLAN routing.

  Problem: when I try to connect from mobile data SSID I get IP address of management WLC VLAN a VLAN data no.

  the same case of Wireless IP Phone configured with voice SSID.

  What I can likely that allows two devices to get the address IP of the correct VLAN?

  Thnks

  Hi Adil,

  T1 > coelio AP on the switch must be configured on a mode of access to the port or trunk mode?

  YEARS - the LWAPP / CAPWAP APs connected to the switchport should be an access port not trunk.

  Q2 > if the first case, the configuration of the port, on the same VLAN as WLC management VLAN support Vlans other WLANS (voice and data)?

  YEARS - Yes it supports, since traffic that involes the WLAN will be inside the tunnel of logic LWAPP/CAPWAP.

  Q3 > I will check the interface between WLAN and dynamic Interfaces map and I'll tell you.

  YEARS - I will wait for your answer!

  Let me know if that answers your question...

• LMS 4.1: 0 devices in Campus Manager (Port VIRTUAL LAN assignment,...) Bug?

  Hi guys,.

  I met again a problem with the new virtual device of Cisco first LMS 4.1.

  My camera is installed, built-in license and several features added in the DCR.

  If I go the inventory > manage device state, I can find ALL of my additional devices (I use the host name, without adding DNS domain).

  But in the Campus Manager , for example in: Configuration > Workflows > VLAN > Vlan Port trust , I have not all devices!

  Well, I tried several times to launch a Collection of data on "All devices", but nothing more...

  If I go to Admin > Collection settings > Data Collection--> display devices --> always the same features inside... nearly 20 devices and I have a lot more than 20 devices in my network!

  How could I solve this problem please?

  It's really annoying, because we can't TRUST VLAN PORT of LMS on devices...

  Thanks a lot for your answer.

  Kind regards

  Stéphane.

  When the devices do not receive "data" they will display just not there

  Nothing under the field selector (VTP) is then?

  Do not know what could cause this. In my opinion, a problem with the db of ani.

  You can reset or make a dbrestoreorig. See the documents of the forum for more details

  See you soon,.

• Management port

  We have an ASA 5510 at the remote office.  There is no network administrator at this place. The network administrator of connections of office from the hand to the Cisco VPN client to do Administration on the SAA.   What IP address you EF in the management of the ASA port?  Would you leave it by default 192.168.1.1?

  Thank you.

  Laura

  Assuming that there is LAN - to - LAN VPN tunnel between the remote control and HQ, you can manage using inside the ip address of the ASA remote.

  When you customer VPN to your seat, you are able to access your remote LAN? If you can't, then you need to configure a few things regarding the VPN itself:

  (1) for the Client VPN Split tunnel should include the Remote LAN subnet

  (2) crypto ACL for LAN-to-LAN tunnel between the main office and remote must include the subnet pool of client vpn as interesting traffic, that is to say:

  On the main site: ip access list allow

  On the remote site: ip access list allow

  (3) on the remote site: management-access within the--> to manage the inside interface via the vpn tunnel

  (4) on the remote site: NAT exemption must include the Remote LAN traffic to the pool ip vpn subnet.

  (5) on the remote site: If you manage via SSH or ASDM, you would need to include 'ssh inside', or 'http inside. "

  (6) on the main site: same-security-traffic permit intra - interface---> to allow for you-turn vpn client traffic to the tunnel of lan-to-lan at remote site.

  Hope that helps.

• I would like to add additional management port with different user service

  Hello

  Version of the grid control is 10.2.0.1.0.

  My company has now more than 100 target or with teams of Directors access to the WHO,

  The original grid for us infrastructure is 1 WHO + 1 OMR. WHO answers very slowly recently.

  Now we decide to add additional management service in another machine.

  The user to operate the original SGD is different from WHO come, it will be a problem when you configure the new OMS?

  The other issue is, we want to use different ports (11200) for the new OMS, it is practical, if OK, how?

  Thank you very much.

  The user to operate the original SGD is different from WHO come, it will be a problem when you configure the new OMS?

  OK, you can choose any username, any username to install additional management service in another machine.

  It has nothing to do with the configuration of the original WHO. They remain in the 2 totally different machine. SST and their, OC4J OracleAS Web Cache

• Version upgrade ESX using Update Manager

  Hello

  To upgrade my ESX 3.5.0 Update 2 for Update4 I did the following:

  (1.) using Update Manager, I have predefined joint und Crtitcal NO Crtitcal updates and I have created a new ESX Server Updates (dynamic) base apart.

  2.) I did clean up Crtitcal updated and overnight NO Crtitcal updates

  I didn't fix the new line of manual base ESX Server Updates (dynamic)

  Now, all updates are consistent and the build number is 153875

  Should I now update 4?

  My question is, do I really need to attach a new ESX Server Updates (dynamic) not predefined reference to the ESX version upgrade?

  BTW. ESX HOWTO find new updates?

  Yes, you now have U4.

  You do not have to create the new base, critical and Non-critical are enough.

• Conecting ESX hosts running management infrastructure in vCenter

  Just need to sanity check on something.

  To date, we have conducted our infrastructure management (Mgt AD, SQL Mgt, vCenter, etc.) on the two (free) stand-alone ESXi hosts. All other ESXi hosts are then managed by the virtual instance of vCenter.

  I'm now update all the hosts of the 'management', the replacements come with ESXi Foundation, I would like to add as nodes in Virtual Center, is that going to cause difficulties?

  I guess that in the case of a failure vCenter I'll still be able to connect directly to the Mgt hosts to solve?

  Am I missing something?

  Foundation of ESXi? I assume you mean Infrastructure Foundation (ESX).

  These ESXservers to vCenter added should not cause difficulties

  and you are able to connect to the ESX Server itself, using the VI Client or ssh if the vCenter fails.

• Agents ESX and HP management

  VMware provides a KB with suggestions to minimize SCSI reservation conflicts when you use HP Management Agents KB1004771

  He proposed essentially that you exclude (cmahost and cmahostd cmafcad) in the cma.conf file.

  I noticed once that these agents are excluded, they no more all display the same information in Insight Manager. I guess it's because of these exclusions (see before fixation). The product name and the name of the OS is no longer to get detailed information.

  (1) can someone tell me if it is precisely because I am excluding these agents?

  (2) what agent exclusion is the cause?

  (3) does the only thing affected by the exclusion of these agents?

  I would have preferred the front but if it's only these 2 problems of information display, I can live with that to reduce conflicts of SCSI reservation but, I assure you it is not something that I'm not immediately noticed.

  Hello

  I heard no mention about the conflicts of SCSI reservation with these agents being addreseed with the latest patches.

  Never experienced it myself.

  Texiwill - about your answer to 3 below, can you elaborate on "host control tools? The main reason that we load the HP Management Agents on our ESX host is to monitor and alert on hardware failures with HP Inisght Manager. If the deactivation of these agents, such as suggested by VMware, prevents alerts Inisight Manager, these agents become unnecessary.

  Well you'll always get notified on NIC issues and a few others cut you most of the notifications, but VMware has its own tools as well. cmahostd is a fairly important piece of the software, but you should get the other articles in HPSIM. Yet, I have to disable cmahostd at all.

  (3) does the only thing affected by the exclusion of these agents? Well he neutralizes most host followed by HP tools.

  I let them active. I had never had a problem and I like everything to appear in HP SIM. It gives better followed than the VMware tools at the present time.
