• groups of ports (number of network cards)

  I understand that a virtual machine vMotion between esx hosts network configurations must match (port groups/virtual switches).

  I would like to know as long as port groups and virtual switches correspond between the guests, whatever the number of network cards is assigned to a virtual switch for vMotion work?

  Example:

  ESX host: Host1 - vSwitch2 with groups A, B - a vmnic2, vmnic3

  ESX host: Host2 - vSwitch2 with Group A, B - a vmnic2, vmnic3, vmnic5

  VMotion will still work in this scenario. I think that the game groups and port vSwitches, he cares about the number of network interface cards.

  Thanks in advance!

  You are right.  It does not matter if you don't have the same number of physical adapter assigned to a vSwitch for vMotion to work.

• ESX 3.5i: NETWORK card stops working on a guest OS...

  I have set up vmware esxi on a box of intel and it was fine all running

  for about a week, a guest OS running win2k3 (32-bit standard) for

  IIS and it hosts some ASP.NET 2.0 sites, and runs the operating system invited to 2nd

  Win2k3 (also std 32-bit) with sql server 2 k 5 ser. on my box only IIS works

  very well and never has problems, but randomly, my sql box nic stops

  work, sound, if i run ipconfig it gives me the correct information and

  everything seems fine except that I can't ping it and I cannot ping anything outside

  or inside my network from this system. I restart the server and it works

  fine. its happened twice so I am bit concerned now.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  You also have VMware Tools installed?   It might be useful to delete the virtual NETWORK adapter and add another.

• Routing between two network cards

  I have 8 fiber switches that are configured to use a private network for management.

  The subnet is 192.168.8.0/24.

  I have a W2K3 (SERVER A) server with two NICS, a NIC (192.168.8.1) is attached to

  the 192.168.8.0 subnet and the other (192.168.100.14) NETWORK adapter is attached to the subnet 192.168.100.0/24.

  I put up two persistent routes of road between these NICS using the following commands:

  Pei route add 192.168.8.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.14

  Pei route add 192.168.100.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.8.1

  I have an other W2K3 server (SERVER B) with a single NETWORK (192.168.100.12) card that must be able

  to connect with the fiber switches via tcp/ip. Packets should be routed to this server.

  On that I put in place a permanent route:

  Pei route add 192.168.8.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.14

  Everything works very well.

  (Assumes that the SERVER-A and SERVER B are now turned off)

  I'm trying to reproduce this on my VMware ESX Server 3.5upd3.

  ESX server has two NICS, one attached to each of the subnets. I create a virtual machine to replace SERVER-a

  with the same number of network cards and the same IP addresses.

  I then create routes as follows:

  Pei route add 192.168.8.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.14

  Pei route add 192.168.100.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.8.1

  PROBLEM: as soon as I add the second route I can no longer ping any server on the 192.168.100.0 subnet.

  This also causes connections to last very long.

  Do I need to implement routing between network adapters ESX scale to make this work?

  If so maybe want the command look like? If not, what could be my problem?

  Thank you for the helpful answers

  If you want to configure your machine as a router, you will need to notify the router is the next hop.  Now, the next machine break is its own interfaces, which will not work.  And since you are running some sort of routing protocol, provide two solutions to exit the server is not a good idea, because he doesn't know that one to use.  It will use 1 for some and another for some.

  Do what you intend (or I think you intend), you must delete the static routes and choose a default route, which will be your next jump.  This should be another router in your environment.  Then, the other servers that you want to route via ServerA, ServerA interface on this segment would remind you.

  Hope that makes sense.

• How to list all the vm with more than one network card?

  Hello

  Is it possible to only list all my s vm in my environment with more than one network card?

  I tried using the Get-NetowrkAdapter cmdlet, but could not get the desired results.

  Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Select-Object Name. ConvertTo-HTML-head $a - body "Virtual Machines < H2 > < / H2 > ' | Out-file D:\vms.htm

  Thank you

  Hello, AGFlora-

  Of course, you can do this with the standard as cmdlets:

  ## using standard cmdletsGet-VM | Select Name, @{n="NumNICs"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | Measure-Object).Count}} | ?{$_.NumNICs -gt 1}
  

  Or, if you want to get the results a little (or a lot) more quickly, you can use the cmdlet Get-view as:

  ## fast-like, using Get-ViewGet-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Config.Hardware.Device | Select Name,@{n="NumNICs"; e={($_.Config.Hardware.Device | ?{$_ -is [VMware.Vim.VirtualEthernetCard]} | Measure-Object).Count}} | ?{$_.NumNICs -gt 1}
  

  Those are both by selecting the names of virtual machines and their number of network cards.  Then you can direct this output to Export-Csv, ConvertTo-HTML, what you like.  What to do for you?

• Best way to make the physical NETWORK card-&gt; vmnic number?

  Is there a known way to understand the link between the vmnic0, vmnic1... logical names and their relationship to physical network cards of ESX/ESXi? In other words, if you get on a new server with, say, 6 physical ports and a config on one vmnic, how do you know which translates to correct physics?

  The means that I can think of are:

  • Check the MAC address within vSphere Client, but then you must somehow know the MAC of the physical NETWORK adapter

  • check the number of PCI of vSphere Client, but this seems a bit difficult to understand?

  • fix pull cables and are looking for "plugged" or not.

  So, how do you do this, if necessary?

  In fact, it is quite easy to see which port on a teddy bear refers to things in the VMware environment...

  Look under configuring the host tab/Server/network element equipment adapters... This will show each NIC and what vmnic # are assigned to the ports. It will also show the MAC address of each port. If they are assigned to vSwitches, it will also show this info...

  

  You can also see the Networking section (still under the Configuration tab) to see the vmnic # assigned to each vSwitch...

  

  Multiport NIC generally have markings on the plate PCI to let you know which is which... All you really need to know is what is the beginning of numbering.

• Help - best practices or guide line to add additional network cards.

  Hello...

  I seem to have a problem with adding additional network adapters in the ESX 3.5 servers.

  2 x patches up-to-date ESX Server 3.5 and HA Enabled.

  Each server already contains 6 cards (3 x Dual port NIC)

  I put 4 several NICs (2 x Dual port NIC)

  I had a bad experience with the addition of additional network cards before, lose the console service and overall. (new numbering)

  Somehow, I fixed that in fact separate old number and re-binder with new number assigned.

  Is there a best practices or procedures in this respect?

  Anyone can point me in right direction, URL, Blog or even simple command line to refresh my memory...?

  Thank you.

  It's easy:

  Remove the old nic:

  esxcfg-vswitch vSwitch0 - U vmnic2

  Add new:

  esxcfg-vswitch vSwitch0 vmnic1-L

• Lab Manager V3 and a second NETWORK card

  Hello everyone. I have a question I hope you can help me with. In Lab Manager V2.5, we were having a problem with fencing. Our fencing required 5 IPs and our customer wants about 100 fences. As we seek to do not use more than 2 C all classes of IP addresses, we hoped an alternative solution.

  Our current idea is to try to use the second NETWORK card on a separate internal switch. This option would use the internal IP for 4 IP addresses and an external IP address. Although this plan seems feasible in theory, the V2.5 Lab Manager did not work to achieve this end. Thus, we are now experiencing V3. Does anyone know if this plan of attack is feasible? If so, what measures are necessary to achieve this goal? The second NETWORK card will be detected automatically by the Lab Manager, or is there a configuration I do not see any there to achieve?

  In short, I need to know if a second NETWORK adapter is feasible with V3 before submitting a request for a second switch. Please let me know if anyone has any info on this subject. Thank you kindly.

  LM 3.0 allows to use up to 4 network LM by VM Interfaces.  A Network Interface is the combination of the virtual NETWORK card and a physical interface LM LM 3.0, or virtual network.  Networking has been considerably strengthened LM 2.5 days.  Instead of a comprehensive physical network, you can have several (limit)? Physical networks that map to vSwitches in your vCenter/ESX host environment.  The Act of creating a physical network of LM 3.0 creates a group of ports on the vSwitch that you you mapped physical network LM.  Each physical network can accommodate up to worth (1024) 4 c of static IP addresses.  If you want that your different physical networks LM using different physical network interface cards on the ESX host, map to different vCenter/ESX vSwitches.

  Fencing is also managed a little more dynamically without the limitations in number of closed configs that were in previous versions.  All virtual machines in a fenced config needs to be hosted on the same ESX host however.

  Oh, virtual networks are a separate issue, which allow the installation of a local network visible only to virtual machines in a configuration.

  I hope this helps.

• Satellite L755 - 17Q - breaks of each network card in 5 minutes

  Here is the report of troubleshooting:

  I tried to uninstall the driver and then put it back without success.
  I have reset my actual router a number of times.

  The 3 network cards I have are:
  Controller of Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI - E Fast Ethernet (NDIS 6.20)
  Atheros AR9002WB-1NG wireless network adapter
  Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport adapt

  I tried to disable the microsoft card but I have also had no success with it.

  Another problem I have is with the generic Bluetooth adapter.

  Thanks for any help!

  > My NIC 5-minute breaks.

  I assume you are talking about wireless network card / adapter.

  The same happens using LAN?

  According to the troubleshooting report, there was a problem with the access point or wireless adapter.

  This means that your WLan router could also be the troublemaker.

  I recommend you to reset the router and reinstall and update the Wlan card driver

• Satellite M100 - driver for network card does not work

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Satellite M100. I downloaded all the drivers from the Toshiba Web site but for the network card, I can't find it works well!
  Tried to download from the site Intel, as suggested by the other mailing list, but still can not work well!

  Can order us a recovery disk with all the drivers for a specific series/model (i.e., Satellite M100)?

  Thank you.

  Hello!

  You have yellow excalamation marks in Device Manager?
  Normally, if you search on the Toshiba site for your model of laptop you will get a list of the different drivers and then you download the LAN driver.
  Also, do you mean the network card or wireless network adapter?

  Also, check the number of vendor as Akuma said.
  On this site, you can enter the vendor ID number and device. After that, you can find the right driver.

  I use a Netgear DG834G router v2. Thanks in advance

  Seems you can use different network card that supports the 802.11 wireless standards B.
  I discovered that you can use the reference number of the wireless LAN card Kit: * PA3212U-1MPC *.
  You can google using the part number to find the compatible wireless network card and some dealers who offer this part.

  Hello

  As far as I know that the Tecra S1 has no card network wireless not installed, but you can improve it with a minPCI wireless network card.
  The drivers needed, you must download it from the page of the Toshiba driver or drivers will come with a wireless network card.
  Also the Bluetooth is an option on this unit.
