ESXi 5 multiple networks on the same host

Is it possible to have a host with multiple (three) cards of each on a separate network?  How would you configure the network adapters in vSphere?

Welcome to the VMware forums communities.  It's not a problem seen ESXi on 3 separate networks.

By dΘfaut of ESXi installation will create a virtual switch (vSwitch0) with a management port and the Virtual Machine port group.

You'll want to create other vSwitches 2 with 2 other network cards.  Configuration > Networking tab, click Add Network.  In the Add Network Wizard you select the Virtual Machine as the Type of connection and on the next screen, you will be able to create a new vSwitch with one of the NIC ports.  You can repeat this process for the other NIC.

When you configure your virtual machines, you will select a network tag which is appropriate for the physical network you want to connect to.

Depending on your network needs you can configure things differently.  If you use a VLAN, then you can have a unique vSwitch with multiple virtual machine port groups (each linked to a specicifc VLAN).

  • Internal network for clients on the same host?

    Is it possible to set up an internal network so that if the VMS and B are on the same host and tried to access B (or vice versa), all network traffic will be handled internally by ESXi without the need to go upstream?

    Hello

    This is the behavior by default when two virtual machines are on the same portgroup and in the same VLAN.

    Traffic will not leave the vSwitch in this case.

    If you want the virtual machines only isolate the virtual machines from the outside network, you can create a new portgroup for them and do not add physical network cards to the portgroup.

    This way, the virtual machines can communicate with each other.

  • VShield service Manager installation and vShield app to the same host ESXi

    Hello, I'm planning on vCloud Director assessment in a laboratory with only a single ESXi host.  When I try to install the app vShield service I get the following warning: do not install on a host or a cluster where the VC or the vShield Manager resides. This can cause network problems. The following IP address must be a unique IP address assigned to this unit of App vShield. Please do not use an IP address that is assigned to another machine, including the VC, vShield Manager or any ESX host. Using an incorrect IP address you will need to uninstall and reinstall App vShield on this host. My question is: is it is absolutely impossible to install vShield manager on the same host ESXi as the vShield Manager resides?  Or is it just a bad practice?  What are the ramifications of installing?

    It is a general practice to separate management and resources. What you see is just a warning. When there are very fewer resources available you can do. Make sure that you exclude from the required VM by referring to this post

  • vCenter Server and Manager on the same virtual machine and on the same host ESXi update that they manage

    Hi all

    I have a question to which I did not respond.

    I have an ESXi 5 on Proliant DL380 G7 server host. I want to install vCenter Server and Manager Update on one of the Server 2008 R2 VM on the same host. I know it's possible, but my question is how Update manager will provide updates to the same ESXi host it will run on? The update is applied every time host must spend in maintenance mode and power off the virtual computer running on this subject which means he'll kill VM where vCenter Server and Update Manager is running and the update will fail right?

    Is that possible at all or the VCS and UM such as a virtual computer operating point is updated to other guests if you have them or vMotion as VM to another host when you want to update the VCS and UM host is running?

    Thanks in advance.

    It will not work.  You will need at least two hosts.  This way you can vMotion the vCenter VM to another host.  From there, you can use VUM.  Otherwise, you will need to patch the host as a stand-alone host.

  • OAM - map multiple URLS for the same web application

    Is OAM, posible to map multiple URLS to the same web application? When the user access to a different URL, it passes to the same application but set up with different strategy?

    In this case, this is the scenario that describes ROISSAC - as he says OAM cannot protect the same resource with two different strategies.

    Perhaps you could do this at the level of the network - if the two companies access the application through different proxy servers, you can use different identifiers to host for the two WebGates on proxy servers. This solution is easier to apply when there is a physical separation of users (for example, the internal/external users) rather than different users coming through the same path.

  • several devices on the network with the same name

    I want to install Windows 7 OS computers on a domain with Small Business SERVER 2003.  Curiously, I see all the computers on the network, where I should be able to, but one of them WK02011, is not accessible from all Windows 7 systems because there are multiple devices with the same name on the network according to a diagnosticn check.  WK02011 is visible and accessible from other systems on the network that are runjning XP OS.  There is only one device named WK02011 on the network.  I don't have this problem with any other XP system - that is - I can see and access all of the other XP machines on the network with the exception of WK02011.  I can't access WK2011 from the server and the server indicates that it is multiple devices with the same ID.  Rename the XP would be complicated because of having to re - set up the service to the customer and then turn around and install 7 OS in the workstation in the coming days.

  • 3070 connectivity problem - multiple Accespoints with the same SSID

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my printer HP Deskjet 3070 printer all-in-one.

    I have 2 accespoints with the same SSID for better coverage of the pit of the wireless home network.

    For some reason any my HP printer keeps losing wireless connection when the 2 accespoints are rising.

    I use a different frequency for the 2 accespoints channel and it works fine with all other wireless devices.

    I did that a DHCP are used, r, but in fact it doesn't matter because the printer uses a static IP (192.168.0.3)

    When the two AP is the printer loses wirelesss connectivity. (The blue led will blink)

    If I take one of the accespoints offline, the printer becomes available.

    Is this a problem on my end or a problem of software/firmware printer?

    Kind regards

  • Mail rules, creation of multiple copies of the same message

    I have set up three rules of e-mail in Outlook Express 6 for four e-mail accounts so that incoming emails go to a certain folder depending on which mail account, it is sent to (the fourth goes to the Inbox).  My problem is that if someone sends an email to multiple recipients, i.e. at the address #1 and CC address #2 and #3 address, I get the email as many times as there are beneficiaries in each folder, in this case three copies per issue, for a total of nine copies of the same message.  Why does this happen?  Is this because all four addresses are set up with the same host and so are one in the same?

    How do I get an email to the appropriate folder, without receiving multiple, including when someone is CC had?

    First, create a local folder to be used as a second Inbox and name it anything you want. (Reception-2 box)?  Use it to one of the accounts, as well as the default Inbox for the other. Add more as needed.
     
    Then create a message rule.
     
    Where the message comes from the specified account.
    Move it to the specified folder & stop processing more rules.
    Click: specified account and enter the account name for the second Inbox.
    Click: specified folder and select the folder that you created.
    Name the rule.
     
    Move this rule at the top of the list of rules , and incoming messages will be separated into their respective folders.
  • my windows says that another computer is running in the same network with the same ip address, please contact

    Today morning when I opened my samsung mini, it displays a message that another computer is running on the same network with the same ip address please find a solution for this

    In most home networks where multiple devices are connected to a router, router will assign an IP address to each device (via DHCP). This method keeps usually different devices to get the same IP address, but if you restart your router, it will not address remembered that he released before it was restarted.  This condition can also occur if you manually assigned an IP address to a device located in the router's DHCP range.  If the problem is not due to manually assign an IP address, then this condition will be corrected over time.  But if you're in a hurry, you can unplug your router from the wall and stop all computing devices on it.  Then plug the router back in and bring up all your devices again one by one.

  • MSSQL server VM cluster should be in the same host or different hosts with RDM

    Could someone me on how to place the code SQL cluster s VM with RDMs in ESXi hosts for advice.

    What is the best practice to place the SQL VM s in ESXi hosts.

    Affinity or an anti-affinite...?

    Appreciated your valuable answers.

    Depends entirely on the use case.

    • 2 MS SQL nodes on the same host to see the availability of the software

    I'd say MS Clusters on the same host (at the time of HA and vSMP FT) are redundant VMware features and represent an increase in management fees. The MS cluster on hosts provide something in addition to what VMware vSphere alone can provide!

  • PowerCLi script to check if 2 virtual machines are on the same host

    Hello

    I'm nubby on PowerCLI and I would like to help in the construction of a script.

    The script should check if two virtual machines (named test1 and test2) are running on the same host in a vCenter and send a notification (email), if they do.

    Something similar with affinity / anti-affinite DRS rules (but not through the DRS enabled on vCenter).  My focus is on the affinity. In case this happens, I need vMotion one of them on an another ESXi host(manually or automated).

    What I have done until now is the following:

    Get - VM | Select Name, @{N = 'Cluster'; {E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_}}, '

    @{N = "ESX host"; {E = {Get-VMHost - VM $_}}, '

    @{N = 'vCenter'; E={$_. "(ExtensionData.CLient.ServiceUrl.Split('/') [2]}}, '"

    @{N = "Datastore"; {E = {Get-Datastore - VM $_}} | `

    Export-Csv - NoTypeInformation C:\Scripts\file.csv

    That becomes all the VMS and export a CSV file information:

    NameClusterESX hostvCenterData store
    test2cluster_testESXi_test1vCenter_test1:443datastore1
    Test1cluster_testESXi_test1vCenter_test1:443datastore1

    VM31.localcluster_test3ESXi_test3vCenter_test1:443datastore1

    Thank you.

    Try like this.

    $tgtVM = "test1", "test2".

    Get-VM-name $tgtVM | Group-object - property VMHost | %{

    if($_.) County - gt 1) {}

    $vm = $_. Group | Get-Random

    $esx = $vm. VMHost

    $tgtEsx = get-Cluster - $vm VM | Get-VMHost | where {$_.} Name - not $esx. Name} | Get-Random

    Move-VM - $vm - Destination $tgtEsx VM - confirm: $false

    }

  • Method for patching only host ESXi4.1 and VC is on the same host

    Hello people,

    I'm patching one of the ESXi, 4.1.0 348481 and Vcenter Server 4.1 Update1 (VM) is sitting on the same host ESXi. Please let me know how I can this patch

    a single host as the Vcenter also will restart. I'm looking to patch manually rather than Update Manager. How patch manually the ESXi host as there is no rounds in ESXi and what serves the Cli. If his VCLI then what is the command for the application of patches and download link. I'm looking to get the procedure. Any help on this

    will be well appreciated.

    Thank you

    vmguy

    If you have another host, you can vMotion your VM vCenter to it, then use AUVS to patch.  If a stand-alone host, then you will need to turn off vCenter and all the guests and try the method below

  • Can migrate a virtual computer to another virtual hosted by the same host computer?

    Deal all,

    I have two questions and I need your help.

    (1) I wonder if a virtual machine can be migrated to another virtual machine that are hosted by the same host ESXi 5.0? (The host has a local hard drive). If possible, how?

    (2) if I have two stand-alone ESXi hosts (host A and B), each host has DAS (local storage) respectively. If the VLC Player is running on a virtual hosted by host A computer and playing a video stream from the Internet, (it is not at all access local storage). This virtual machine can be migrated to host B? (Suppose vCenter is installed)

    Any response will be appreciated.

    Cheng

    You can clone this VM VM A i.e (require vCenter or vmkfstools allows you to clone the drive ONLY) and name VM B. do you want on original VM. Something happened to A VM, VM B you Savior.

    vStorage the device (here). It will use your local or DAS.
