ESXI hosts 5-2 and the best way to configure vSwitch and Nic redundancy

Hi all

Could someone help me find the best way to configure the vNetwork on 2 5 ESXI host for redundancy.  Once I managed to correctly configure the 2 hosts I will seek to use the same installation process for 6 guests.  3 sites with 2 hosts on each site managed all of vCentre Server

I have 2 DL380 G7 servers 5 ESXI installed on a class 10, 8 GB SD card, I'm looking to install VSA on the 2 hosts on each server with 4 TB of internal storage (8 * 600 GB 10 k SAS).  Each server has a gigabit integrated 4-port NIC and I installed a 2nd NIC gigabit PCIe 4 ports, I also x 2 16 switches of port with Layer 3 routing.  I use vSphere 5 Standard acceleration Kit I am looking to use vCentre server for managing, vMotion for maintenance, HA for the failover and VM 10/15 (vCentre Server Std, DB SQL to vCentre Server, Exchange 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2, IIS Intranet, Helpdesk, 1 DC, 2 Domain Controller, AV Server, WSUS, SCCM Server, and Terminal Server server).

What would be the best way to install and configure the network for performance and redundancy and am I missing something?

My thoughts are, Teaming: -.

vCenter - vswitch0 - port1 on NIC1 and port1 on NIC 2 - port1 on NIC1 to physical switch 1 - port1 on NIC2 to physical switch 2

vMotion - vswitch1 - port2 on NIC1 and port2on NIC 2 - port2 on NIC1 to physical switch 1 - port2 on NIC2 to physical switch 2

HA - vswitch3 - port3 on NIC1 and port3on NIC 2 - port3 on NIC1 physics 1 - port3 on NIC2 to physical switch 2 switch

VM - vswitch4 - port4 on NIC1 and port4on NIC 2 - port4 on NIC1 to physical switch 1 - port4 on NIC2 to physical switch 2

or do I need an additional NIC on each server to hit the VM 12-6 VM for 2 ports on 2 NETWORK interface card, or maybe something else I missed?

Thank you

In your case, to keep it simple and what I can say here is what would be my recommendation:

3 standard vSwitches

vSwitch0:

  • Management - vmnic0, vmnic2

vSwitch1:

  • vMotion - vmnic1, vmnic3

vSwitch2:

  • VM network - vmnic4, vmnic5, vmnic6, vmnic7

The only reason why that I didn't split the VM in other network adapters shipped is because the difference in the types of the DL380 adapter shipped and the PCIe quad.

  • What is the best way to configure the Cisco IOS password?

    I'm under 15.2 (4) IOS on a router in 1921

    What is the best way to set up the password of the router?  I already tried once and managed to block me on another switch.  I would use the most secure method that encrypts the password.

    Current config:

    username admin privilege 15 password 0 cisco123

    Hey Kevin,

    Use the secret keyword instead of the password for the password more secure and encrypted.

    The syntax that you are using will display the password in clear text.

    R1 (config) #username, 0 privilege 15 password test
    R1 (config) #exi
    R1 #sh runn
    * 00:00:25.523 Mar 1: % SYS-5-CONFIG_I: configured from console by console
    R1 #sh runn | in test
    username password 0 privilege 15 test
    R1 #.

    If you use the keyword secret then it will get encrypted.

    R1 #sh runn | in test1
    username privilege 15 secret 5 test1 $1$ PV6g$ sGMYxxmW8hD9Cdy7TsmHF0
    R1 #.

  • What is the best way to get a customized version # from an ESXi host?

    Each quarter, we generate a sequence of updates (including patches and security scripts) which are performed manually on our 5.0 ESXi hosts. I don't have an internet connection and so I have to do it this way.  I would like to be able to identify the last quarterly update that has been run on the vCenter servers and/or Client VI.

    Right now, I think adding the quarter, example 1 Q 13 on the DCUI message, then help PowerCLI, vCenter to retrieve the message DCUI, crawled and paste the quarter in the field host Annotations on vCenter.

    Kind of ugly, but I cannot find a cool way to get data like this outside of the host.  I don't want to rely on my user manually set to nothing, for example the field of Annotations on vCenter that is also subject to errors.

    I really want something that can also be seen on the VI Client, too, as the annotations are only on vCenter.

    I have ideas about the best approach to tackle this problem.

    Thank you

    Not sure if this is the best way, but that's what I ended up doing.   It feels like there should be a better way.

    I've updated my quarterly script to add the version number at the bottom of the file, / etc/vmware/welcome, whenever it is run on an ESXi host (e.g. myScript version: v1.0 Date: 04June2013).  This file appears under the banner DCUI.

    Then, I wrote a script powerCLI to roughly the following:

    foreach ($vmHostObj in Get-VMHost-name *) {}

    # Get the full message of DCUI in/etc/vmware/welcome

    $msgObj = echo $vmHostObj | Get-VMHostAdvancedConfiguration-name Annotations.WelcomeMessage

    # Convert a hash of a string table welcome message

    $msgTxt = echo $msgObj.Item ("Annotations.WelcomeMessage")

    # find the clue for the string containing my script information, which is at the end of the welcome message.

    # This is important because the substring below function will extract everything after the index.

    $idx = $msgTxt.IndexOf ("version myScript :")

    If ($idx - gt 0) {}

    $label = $msgTxt.Substring ($idx)

    Set Annotation - remarks on the entity $vmHostObj - CustomAttribute - value $label

    }

    }

    This replaces the Notes field for each host, one day I can go back and make it more user-friendly where it replaces the version leaving the rest of the field notes intact.

  • What is the best way to change hosted on Bluehost site BC. but keep existing accts e-mail on BlueHost?

    My client currently has their old site and multiple e-mail accounts hosted by BlueHost. We are past to welcome his new Web site (created by Muse) on Business Catalyst, but they want to keep their existing e-mail accounts on BlueHost account. At first, I changed the names of servers on Bluehost so the site will host in British Colombia, but then noticed that their emails.

    I found some conflicting info but trying to research the best way to do it: they say that, so that email is not affected and continue to exist with BlueHost, I need to create a record on Bluehost with server names BC while the new site is in British Colombia. Another forum I found said I should change the name servers, and then add an MX record in Business Catalyst (but wouldn't that affect their current emails?). Thanks for all the tips on how to do it. I'm quite new in British Colombia.

    You just need to edit the record

  • What is the best way to import my address and e-mail of Pegasus in Thunderbird?

    I use Windows 7 x 64. I have a number of files and many electronic addresses in the Pegasus Mail client. I'm looking to migrate to Thunderbird. Can you tell me the best way to move my files to Thunderbird?

    Thank you
    Allen Hill

    For your address books, can export you to a format such as CSV?

    To move e-mail messages, the cleaner is to use the IMAP protocol. Then your new client look just the same files you had in Pegasus.

    Unfortunately, email clients tend to use their own systems of storage of e-mail owner and there is no commonly used standards that could help to transfer between clients. If you can export files in mbox format, then Thunderbird can use.

    What is the best way (and possible) to remix a song mixed

    I have a song that is most often improvised, I was told that his cool, however, re-registration is not possible.

    After reading a lot on the mixture, I now hear where the uneducated choice and errors that I made which explains the sound "not as good" that the song is.

    Before I just jump in and try to undo the settings on the tracks (one is DRUMMER) to return to the raw track before effects/eq/compression ect. is is possible to do?  Opens the unfavorable mix, rename it, save it and just go to work and cancel or disable 'things '.

    The basis of the lean mixture comes even to the root where I 'hot' securities, (orange and red)

    I guess by now you understand my question and I am open to a favorable opinion.

    Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

    I'm going to assume that you plan to have wireless devices.

    Let's say that the Capsule is your "main" router  If this is the case, then it must be located in the House, so that the distance between the time Capsule is the same for the outside walls of the House.

    Then, on the 'left' side of the House, looking for an airport to midway between the Capsule and time of the outer wall of the House. Do the same thing the 'right' side of the House.

    In other words, each of the two airports that "extend" the wireless signal are located at equal distance from the Capsule of time... but they are in opposite ends of the House.

    If you intend to interconnect all the airports and Time Capsule using a permanent, Ethernet wired... which by far is the 'best' way to put in place a network in terms of performance and reliability... then you can locate one of the devices anywhere you want.

  • What is the best way to move and organize records

    I recently bought a Mac Pro and have bought files across the FRO my windows laptop but what is the best way to organize the files iCloud or local drive and how do I move files in my list of "all files" in individual cases.

    In case you are not aware, all the files that you put in iCloud drive are on your disk local and iCloud.

    You can go to preferences in the Finder menu and specify whether you want iCloud drive to display in the sidebar of the Finder. I find that having it in the sidebar makes it easy to use. I also have other folders I used frequently in the sidebar; You can add the system ones (Documents, downloads, etc.) using this same preferences window. You can add folders that you created them by dragging to the sidebar of a Finder window.

    A way to move files into folders that you created is to open 2 windows in the Finder and drag it from one window to the other. Another option, if you move a file in one of the folders that is displayed in the sidebar is just do it from its current location in the main area of the Finder to the folder window in the sidebar in this same window of Finder.

  • The best way to read and write?

    Hello

    I'm working on the project with labview.

    with this program I connect PC to MCU via modbus RTU sreial.

    in this program, there are some data must be read and some data they need to write.

    what I need is most of my reading polet exuted time except when some of the elements of control (as the edit box) changed by the user.

    every time something has changed by the user writing polet executed.

    now, what is the best way to do this?

    Best regards.

    Structure of the event within a while loop.  With the structure of the event, detect you the change of values and send the appropriate commands.  You can use the case of timeout for reading the State of the MCU.

  • What is the best way to record movies on PC and change the names of video files?

    Names of files dvr - ms MCE?

    I use Win XP, SP3, MCE 2005 and I want to change the file name of some of the videos saved on my computer.  Currently I use MCE to record movies at home on my computer and then burn them to DVD.  I plugged the VCR/camcorder for video on computer TV card and MCE set to record 1 channel at say 20:00 and turn my VCR/camcorder to play at this time.  MCE records the film as if it were a recorded TV show.  A few questions:

    Is there a better way to do it?  The home movies are on different formats - Betamax, VHS, camcorder Sony 8 and mini DVD.

    The file is saved with descriptive as - news channel 1, channel information (Direct TV channel label), 20:00, 2 h,-where is this kind of things saved info and I can change it?  If I can change it, what format should I use?

    The video file is saved in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\Shared Video\... and the name of the file to this location seems to match the name of the actual file displayed in MCE - but if I want to change to say "Christmas" birthday 2005, can I do without corrupting the file?  What format constraints are there for the name of the file?

    Is there a better way to change the description and the name than just using windows and right-click on the file and selecting rename?

    And just to repeat the first question - is there a better way to record movies on the computer?

    Thank you
