• Best practices for the collection of network adapter for network management

  Quote from http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/VMW-Server-WP-BestPractices.pdf :

  Aggregation and network management networks:

  To set up a team of network for the management network adapter, configure the network adapters in the vSwitch
  configuration of the ESX/ESXi host, for configuration active / standby.

  The vSwitch must be configured as follows:
  The load balancing • route = based on the original (default) virtual port code
  • Restore = 'No '.
  • vSwitch0: two physical network adapters (for example: vmnic0 & vmnic2)
  • Two groups of ports (for example, vMotion and management)

  In this example, the management network works on vSwitch0 as active vmnic0 and watches over vmnic2.
  The vMotion network works on vSwitch0 as active vmnic2 and watches over vmnic0.

  My configuration:

  The two active adapters (not active / standby)

  Failback = 'Yes '.

  Not clear if the network management and vMotion are both active on the same vmnic or different.

  Question:

  Is smart enough to keep the network management and vMotion on different vmnic SE to ESXi 4.1 or I should change to active / standby config and make sure they are on different vmnic?

  It would make a noticeable difference?

  Ah yes, you are right in your configuration then.  I would never mix NIC vendors in any type of trunk, I saw things get funky now and then.  VAAI won't give you an advantage when you do a storage vMotion, normal vMotion will always use the same amount of traffic, because memory cards must always be copied between hosts.  It is advisable to devote at least a card NETWORK management and at least one NETWORK adapter to vMotion, if you can have two vSwitches with two NIC each then I would use explicit order of failover you mentioned.  Hope that helps!

• Physical requirements for the collection of network adapters

  During the aggregation of physical NIC cards on a host ESX (i) the physical switches that NICs are connected to have all of its ports are associated as well?

  Thank you

  Real grouping only with the IP hash and require a specific configuration also on physical switches.

  To keep things simple, I suggest using the default grouping policy (it's just a load balancing solution) which works very well with all kinds of switches.

• vSpere 5 Networking of best practices for the use of 4 to 1 GB NIC?

  Hello

  I'm looking for a networking of best practices for the use of 4-1 GB NIC with vSphere 5. I know there are a lot of good practice using 10 GB, but our current config does support only 1 GB. I need to include the management, vMotion, Virtual Machine (VM) and iSCSi. If there are others you would recommend, please let me know.

  I found a diagram that resembles what I need, but it's for 10 GB. I think it works...

  (I had this pattern HERE - rights go to Paul Kelly)

  My next question is how much of a traffic load is each object take through the network, percentage wise?

  For example, 'Management' is very small and the only time where it is in use is during the installation of the agent. Then it uses 70%.

  I need the percentage of bandwidth, if possible.

  If anyone out there can help me, that would be so awesome.

  Thank you!

  -Erich

  Without knowing your environment, it would be impossible to give you an idea of the uses of bandwidth.

  That said if you had about 10-15 virtual machines per host with this configuration, you should be fine.

• best practices for the storage of the vm and vhd

  no doubt this question has been answered not once... Sorry

  I would like to know the best practice for the storage of the vm and its virtual hard disk to a SAN.

  Any show advantage does make sense to keep them on separate LUNS?

  Thank you.

  It will really depend on the application of the virtual machine - but for most of the applications no problem by storing everything on the same data store

• Best practices for the compression of the image in dps

  Hello! I read up on best practices for the compression of the image in dps and I read the asset from the source of panoramas, sequences of images, Pan and zoom images and audio skins is resampled not downloading. You will need to resize them and compress them before deleting the in your article, because the dps do not do it for you. Hey can do!

  So Im also read as he active source of slideshows, scrolling images, and buttons ARE resampled as PNG images. Does this mean that DPS will compress for you when you build the article? Does this say I shouldn't worth going bother to resize these images at all? I can just pop in 300 DPI files 15 MB used in the print magazine and dps will compress their construction article - and this will have no effect on the size of the file?

  And this is also the case with static background images?

  
  

  Thanks for your help!

  All images are automatically resampled to based on the size of the folio you do. You can put in any image resolution you want, it's not serious.

• Best practices for the use of reserved words

  Hello
  What is the best practice for the use of the reserved words as column names.
  For example if I insisted on the use of the word to a column name comment as follows:
  
  CREATE TABLE...
  VARCHAR2 (4000) "COMMENT."
  ...
  
  What is the impact on the track I could expect and what problems should I be informed when doing something like that?
  
  Thank you
  Ben

  The best practice is NOT to use reserved words anywhere.
  Developers are human beings human. Humans have their moments to forget things.
  They will not forget to use the "", or you can force it to use the "' everywhere.
  The two methods are Oracle certified ways to end up in hell.

• Question about the collection of NETWORK adapters for vMotion / VM vSwitch

  Hello

  We use vSphere Enterprise Edition 5.1.

  We also create separate vSwitch for management / vMotion and VM.

  Each vSwitch receives 2 network cards connected to the different switch for redundancy.

  We would like to know is necessary to provide the collection of NETWORK adapters for these vSwitches?  Currently, only enable us NIC Teaming for VM vSwitch only.

  Thank you

  VSwitch vMotion, we have 2 assigned NIC (nic2 and nic6) with 10 VLANS.  NIC2 and nic6 are connected to 2 different physical switches.

  Should I choose

  (1) both are active

  (2) both are assets + grouping of NETWORK cards?

  Question - if there is only 1 VLAN, it seems that NIC Teaming is also not very useful unless we use 2 VLAN (Multi-NIC vMotion).  Is this right?

  If you use Multi-NIC vMotion, there is no need to have two different VLANS, all you need is depending on configuration

  on your vMotion switch, please create two vmkernel port for vMotion with the same VLAN ID, but the grouping of NETWORK cards as below

  vMotion_1 - VLAN ID: 10

  Grouping of NETWORK cards

  vmnic2 - active

  vmnic6 - watch

  vMotion_2 - VLAN ID: 10

  vmnic6 - active

  vmnic2 - watch

• Best practices for the integration of the Master Data Management (MDM)

  I work on the integration of MDM with Eloqua and are looking for the best approach to sync data lead/Contact changes of Eloqua in our internal MDM Hub (output only). Ideally, we would like that integration practically in real time but my findings to date suggest that there is no option. Any integration will result in a kind of calendar.

  Here are the options that we had:

  1. "Exotic" CRM integration: using internal events to capture and queue in the queue changes internal (QIP) and allows access to the queue from outside Eloqua SOAP/REST API
  2. Data export: set up a Data Export that is "expected" to run on request and exteernally annex survey via the API SOAP/REST/in bulk
  3. API in bulk: changes in voting that has happened since the previous survey through the API in bulk from Eloqua outside (not sure how this is different from the previous option)

  Two other options which may not work at all and who are potentially antimodel:

  • Cloud connector: create a campaign questioning changes to schedule and configure a connector of cloud (if possible at all) to notify MDM endpoint to query contact/lead "record" of Eloqua.
  • "Native" integration CRM (crazy): fake of a native CRM endpoint (for example, Salesforce) and use internal events and external calls to Eloqua push data into our MDM

  Issues related to the:

  1. What is the best practice for this integration?
  2. Give us an option that would give us the close integration in real-time (technically asynchronous but always / event-based reminder)? (something like the outgoing in Salesforce e-mail)
  3. What limits should consider these options? (for example API daily call, size response SOAP/REST)

  If you can, I would try to talk to Informatica...

  To imitate the integrations of native type, you use the QIP and control what activities it validated by internal events as you would with a native integration.

  You will also use the cloud api connector to allow you to set up an integration CRM (or MDM) program.

  You have fields of identification is added objects contact and account in Eloqua for their respective IDs in the MDM system and keep track of the last update of MDM with a date field.

  A task scheduled outside of Eloqua would go to a certain interval and extract the QAP changes send to MDM and pull the contacts waiting to be sent in place of the cloud connector.

  It isn't really much of anything as outgoing unfortunately use Messaging.  You can send form data shall immediately submit data to Server (it would be a bit like from collections of rule of integration running of the steps in processing of forms).

  See you soon,.

• Measurement on the side time server? Best practices for the turn-based game

  Hello

  What would be the best practice for measuring time in a turn based game?

  I was looking at the timeout of the room, but to use that it would mean that, for each round, I put users in a new room?

  Is there a way where I can measure time serverside and keep users in the same room?

  If so, I could use php, otherwise, we would need java that allows to measure a time race.

  See you soon,.

  G

  Hello

  You can definitely use PHP or Java - we provide integration of server

  libraries for either. I don't know exactly what is the use case, so I can't

  comment on what makes the most sense, but if it is not information which must be

  totally secure, grading on the client can be a viable approach also.

• Best practices for the application of sharpness in your workflow

  Recently I tried to get a better understanding of some of the best practices for sharpening in a workflow. I guess that I didn't know, but there are several places to sharpen. Who are the best? They are additive?

  My typical workflow involves capture an image with a professional DSLR in RAW or JPEG or import into Lightroom and export to a JPEG file for the screen or printing of two lab and local. 

  There are three places in this workflow to add sharpening. In the DSLR manually into Lightroom and when exporting a JPEG file or print directly from Lightroom

  It is my understanding that sharpening is added to RAW images even if you add sharpening in your DSLR. However sharpening will be added to the JPEG from the camera. 

  Back to my question, it is preferable to manually the sharpness in the SLR in Lightroom or wait until you export or output of your printer or final JPEG file. And additive effects? If I add sharpening to the three places I am probably more sharpening?

  You have to treat them differently both formats. Data BULLIES never have any sharpening applied by the camera, only JPEG files. Sharpening is often considered to be a workflow where there are three steps (see here for a seminal paper on this idea).

  I. a step sharpening of capture which compensates for the loss of sharp in detail due to the Bayer matrix and the filter anti-repliement and sometimes the lens or diffraction.

  II. A creative sharpening step where some details in the image are 'highlighted' sharpness (do you eyelashes on a model's face), and

  III. output sharpening, where you fix the loss of sharpness due to the scale/resampling for the properties of the average output (as blur because of an impression how process works or blurry because of the way that a screen LCD sets out its pixels).

  These three are implemented in Lightroom. I. and II. are essential, and basically must always be performed. II. until your creative minds. I. is the sharpening that see you in the Panel to develop. You need zoom at 1:1 and optimize the settings. The default settings are OK but quite conservative. Usually you can increase the value of the mask a little so that you're not sharpen noise and play with the other three sliders. Jeff Schewe gives an overview of a strategy simple to find the optimal settings here. It is for the cab, but the principle remains the same. Most of the photos will benefit from optimization a bit. Don't go overboard, but just OK for smoothness to 1:1.

  Stage II as I have said, is not essential, but it can be done using the local adjustment brush, or you can go to Photoshop for this. Stage III, however, is very essential. This is done in the export, the print panel Panel or the web. You can't really get a glimpse of these things (especially the sharpening printing-oriented) and it will take a little experimentation to see what you like.

  For jpeg, sharpening is done already in the camera. You could add a small extra capture sharpening in some cases, or simply lowering the sharpening in camera and then have more control in the post, but generally, it is best to leave it alone. Stage II and III, however, are still necessary.

• Best practices for the configuration of virtual switches with ESXi

  So we have a dish network, no VLAN. I have a total of 6 NETWORK adapters per ESX host... Since there is no Service Console or is it shared with the Prod vswitch here is how I have the configuration of the NETWORK adapters.

  Keep in min, we use ESXi 3.5

  vSwitch0 - Vmotion - 2 NETWORK cards

  vSwitch1 - Vmkernel Port & Machine virtual port group - 4 NETWORK cards

  I have attached the screenshot.

  Please let me know if you do anything differently?

  Dave bang on! the IP of VMotion ESXi will be used for the same purpose. For many ESX on the brain, sorry.

  Each VM will get no more than 1 GbE over four network adapters. Once a virtual computer is given a NIC, it will remain on the NETWORK card using the default configuration and it is good because the virtual machines are distributed between the four of them.

• What is the best practice for the double management interfaces?

  Hello community!

  I'm upgrading to a few host ESX to ESXi 4.1U1 4.0 in the coming weeks. My question is about how to configure the management networks. Obviously in ESX 4.0 Classic I have a Service Console port (on vSwitch0) group and a group of ports VMkernel (also on vSwitch0) which provides my host with SC and vmotion capabilities, as we all know. Note: my vSwitch0 has two vmnic attached to it, is pending and is active. That's just how we have our double installation of switches, so it must be active / standby.

  I got to thinking (book the great from HA and DRS deepdive Duncap Epping and Frank Denneman), that I should consider carefully when my network mangement I improve these hosts to ESXi 4.1 - which of course done away with the Service Console and use the vmkernel instead.

  The question is, in which best practices and account with my setup: I have two vmkernel ports? If so, how should I configure each for traffic management and vmotion vmkernel?

  I think it will be a good discussion to have.

  Thank you all,

  Matt

  The NIC vSwitch0 value active/active, the vswif (and future vmkernel management) team of NIC Active vmnic6 and vmnic1 ensures and leaves the vMotion vmkernel NIC team as is.

  This will allow you to use two physical network interface cards at the same time while having a failover plan and keep your physically separate management and vMotion traffic.

  In the end:

  vSwitch: vmnic1 vmnic6 active, active.

  VMK (Mgt): active eve of vmnic1 vmnic6.

  VMK (vMotion): active standby, vmnic6 vmnic1.

• Best practices for the installation of 10 GbE

  I have a new HP DL380G7 who has 4 cards on 1 G and 2 10 network interface cards.

  This will run VSphere 4.1 esxi

  I'm looking for some advice on what would be a good network for this server configuration.

  The storage will be NFS goes to a NAS Server

  I tried to create 2 vswitch one with one of the NICs embedded for the service console and the other switch was a team of the 10G env.

  Support Vmware told me that in this configuration, I had to make sure that the service console was on a different subnet from the kernel NFS or NFS traffic will try to go on the service console port.

  I tried this config but as soon as I add a Vkernel to the 2nd switch I am not out ping.

  So I thought I'd post here with what would be a best practice configuration for this server.

  In the first configuration, it is difficult to say which interface will be used for NFS traffic.  Therefore, it is not a recommended configuration.

  The second configuration must be correct.
