• Why VM 2008R2 begins with disconnected network

  Hello

  We have recently started using Windows Server 2008 R2. When I deploy a VM from a template, it always starts with that disconnected the network.

  I have never seen this before here, but as he had a few changes in the environment I'm not sure what causes this problem.

  Here is some info on our environment:

  ESXi 4.1 (current patches installed)

  vCenter 4.1 (up to date as well)

  VM Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise/Template, the only network interface is "related to power on.

  Network is on a dvSwitch port a dynamic port binding group

  Can anyone tell whence this behavior? Is the binding port or something else?

  Thanks in advance.

  Christian

  This happens because the model deployment using the customization of a virtual machine by using dynamic port binding is not supported.  See the following KB:

• ESXi 4.0 host network adapters

  I'm kinda a noob here, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. I have an ESXi host with two network adapters. My configuration is to have an adapter connected to the Internet and an adapter connected to my internal network. I want to do in order to implement an router ISA in a VM and use a NAT to clients internal and other virtual machines. Is this possible?

  I thought it would be as simple as the external adapter with DHCP configuration to obtain the address of my ISP and configuration of the adapter internal staically and then simply using vSwitches to connect the adapters with my computers invited to use the appropriate physical card. The problem is that when I go in the shell of ESXi, you can only configure dynamic or static for the management network and there is no options to configure two adapters separately. I see my internal adapter properly configured with a static address in the vClient, but the external adapter shows a range of IP addresses observed of 10.229.128.1 - 10.229.129.254. Where did that come from? Do I need to use the command-line utility to configure this? If so, what commands can do that? Thanks in advance!

  No need to reboot the host. Basically, all you need are two vSwitches. The first one connected to the LAN internal groups of 2 ports, one for the VMKernel (with the configured IP settings) and one for the network of the Virtual Machine. The second vSwitch only requires a Virtual Machine port group.

  Configure the virtual machine (your router ISA) with two network cards virtual, a related internal and external vSwitch. Make sure the settings for virtual network cards are set to "Connect at Power On" and are in the 'connected' State when the virtual machine is up and running.

  Depending on your ISP, you should get a DHCP IP address on the external vNIC by configuring it to "Automatic" in the guest OS.

• Best way to migrate virtual machines to new ESXi hosts with a different configuration of networking.

  We currently have a cluster of 6 Dell machines that move VM 120 or so on ESXi 5.5. Networking consists of a dVswitch with 6 uplinks that map to 6 x 1gig physical NETWORK adapters on each host ESXi... These are grouped into 3 trunks / gal, so we have 2 GB by SHIFTING of the bandwidth and failover. The LAGS are configured as follows:

  LAG1

  Traffic to our (NFS) shared data store and management of ESXi. (vmk0)

  LAG2

  Access to the network of the VM - groups of different ports on different VLANS

  LAG3

  vMotion (vmk1)

  We just bought 6 new Dell machines that have connections fiber 2 x 10gig each. The idea is to bring together in a 20Ggig LAG by machine that will handle all of the traffic, so traffic NFS data store, network traffic from the VM, vMotion and traffic management ESXi.

  
  

  What is the best way to migrate the virtual machine in the cluster existing to the new machines? Many of the virtual machine are essential, so we cannot stop time.

  
  

  Can I create the new DELAY on existing dVswitch and put it as an auxiliary card? I'll be able to do it for all 3 of the above both above LAGS?

  
  

  Thanks for the info Alistar, it's almost here. The bit that was me stumping was that after establishing a new dVswitch I received messages that the new dvSwitch was not reachable on the old host, when I tried to migrate the virtual computer.

  The solution (with the permission of VMware Support) was that I need to add the two dVswitches to one of the old hosts, then assign a physical alternative on this host uplink to a temporary 3 uplink on the new dVswitch. I then tag all the relevant VLAN that uplink.

  This way I can first migrate the virtual machine to the new dVswitch networking so I can move the computer to the new cluster.

  Obviously I can only migrate from old to new cluster with a single host. each virtual machine must be a double for the host with 2 switches, and then to the new cluster. I also had to have the two dVswitches to the same version.

  Fortunately, I had a physical rising spare on the hosts of the old, otherwise I would have had to break one of the trunks and re-use of one of these uplinks.

  Oh and be aware, impossible to use the same names for groups of ports 2 DV switches, they must be unique!

• VM Compatibility ESXi 5.1 and later bad (VM version 9) with the network

  I'm having and ESXi host with 10 VM, all connected to the same portgroup on the virtual switch. To allow THT, I created the last slots with 5.1 ESXi compatibility and later (VM version 9), where all the other machines have ESXi 4.x and later (VM 7).

  Now, I'm having the issue 2 machines with version 9 can talk to each other, and version 7 cannot talk to each other. It is not possible to make a ping to a version 7 virtual machine vm version 9 and vice versa.

  
  

  An idea, a re there known issues, something I did wrong? From what I saw that day was to be a major change in the networking between these versions.

  Any help welcomed verrrrrry!

  Thank you, Philippe

  
  

  
  

  OK, after spending a day debugging, convert machines front and rear, delete and remove the NETWORK card I was able to convince the administrator to restart the host ESX - problem solved!

• WLAN, lan, dmz on esxi with 2 network cards

  Hello

  I'm newbie esxi. What I'm trying to achieve on my esxi server is simple firewall/gw between internet (vmnic1), LAN (vmnix0) and DMZ. I have only physical 2 NICs in my server, DMZ should be "completely collapsed DMZ. I intend to have 1 web server (www, ftp) in the DMZ, 2 LAN and smoothwall acting as firewall servers.

  After reading some pdf files and some forum discussions I've come with an attached 'Networking' design.

  Could you experts please check design and advise me how secure is it and where are the potential pitfalls?

  COS you need to manage your esxi server.

  The following work of wll:

  An Esx3i server with two physical network (Teddy) interfaces

  pNic0 connected to the internet

  pNic1 connected to your local network

  3 vSwitches configured, one for each natachasery and one internal vSwitch (DMZ)

  Comments "Smoothwall" configured with 3 network cards, one for Internet, a local network, and a DMZ.

  Guests in the DMZ must be created with vNic on the DMZ vSwitch.

  SmoothWall manages the firewall and passes the correct port_number, etc. to the ip address in the DMZ.

• AppSync with shared network Thinapps

  A few questions about Appsync with shared network applications.

  I have 5 Windows XP systems that install everything to run the thinapp (Office 2007 Std) from the network share. In the package.ini I put the thinapp to check an update every time it launches, do not know if it is better, only to set it there so I could control the start of the update. I created a new version of my thinapp with some modifications, including activation of Powerpoint, which was not initially enabled. I then pushed the new version in the directory specified in AppSyncURL in the package.ini and then ran the thinapp one of 5 systems. I looked at the updated thinapp (via the new file in the directory creation) but it seems to be stopped once the new files have been copied, I assumed it was because the other guests were linking the same thinapp, so I closed the thinapp on all 5 systems and reopened on one, after a few minutes that the update has been completed, including the activation of PowerPoint. When I ran the thinapp on other systems of all the new changes came with the exception of PowerPoint being activated. I guess that's because the thinreg update portion was only executed on the original system which began the update. My reasoning is correct? Would be the best way to solve this problem, configure something in a login script or a GPO to re-run thinreg necessary?

  Next part of surpass push to use thinapp was to save space, we intend to use it with VDI images gold hopfully have a SAN reduced foot print as migrate us our users in general for physical machines to VMS. Currently, we don't have a policy that requires users to disconnect during the night, normally when you deploy updates from traditional applications a message is sent by the app said the world team to make sure and disconnect. While we still might do in the future with thinapp hoping updates be more transparent for the user. But based on the above test it looks that updates will not fully applied to a set until all users are out of this.

  While this logic sence I want to just make sure I'm not missing something, is there a better way to update the shared applications? Or I'll better just install them locally on the machine, possilbly as part of a gold statue.

  Hi Roybfr,

  I want to share my knowledge on App Sync with the same example with which you asked the query. I will answer your questions in 2 sections. One for the process of AppSync and other for VDI computers desktop and thinapps residing on them.

  Section of AppSync: -.

  1. If you have desktop Thiinapped 2 k 7 kept one a network share and the version update of office 2 k 7 (which has been configured to enable the PowerPoint) stored on the Web server.

  2. you have 5 office machines.

  3 suppose that you launch the thinapp 2 k 7 on the desktop sharing network 1.

  4. once launch you the thinapp 2 k 7 Desktop 1, appsync process is launched and the .ase files are named and has started, updated on the network share.

  5. in the middle of the appsync process which began by launching the 2 k 7 packet on the network share, stop the appsync process by closing the exe launched from Office 1.

  6. now launch the 2 k 7 on the network share from office 2. Once you launch the office 2 k 7 2 office package, AppSync process is started from when he was arrested and not from the beginning.

  7. let all to update completely .ase files until they become the size of thinapped version updated, maintained on the web server.

  8. now do not revive the thinapped 2 k 7 2 office package.

  9. If you launch the thinapped 2 k 7 exe on the network share from office 3 you will get the message to update Appsync (that you defined in the file package.ini) and now the version update of office 2 k 7 will be launched. This means that now the network share has the version update of office 2 k 7.

  10. now, if you launch the office 2 k 7 on the network share Desktop 4 and 5, you will get the updated office version.

  11 but to get the same version of update to office 1 to disconnect, and then start the 2 k 7 packet on the network share

  12 office 2 stimulus package on the network share and you'll get the version update of office 2 k 7

  Conclusion: -.

  1. AppSync can be initiated by the launch of the thianpp on the network sharing of any of desktop computers

  2. once the AppSync is completed, the new version will be available (.ase will be converted into the updated version .exe) by raising the exe thinapp on the network share from the Office where the Appsync initiated or simply launch the exe thinapp by the remaining workstations where the thinapp on the network share was never launched.

  3. the configuration you made on the updated version is maintained on the web server will not pulled / available on the network share if the appsync is successfully completed.

  4. If you want a specific configuration to be part of your update to Thinapp (which is stored on the web server, and pulled on the network share), you must use the "SbMerge" utility to make the configurations as version stored on the web server to update the part of you.

  5. Thus, create the updated version of the Thinapp, check the necessary configurations, apply overwhelm and rebuild the updated version of the thinapp. Then copy it to the web server. And then start the process of AppSync.

• Is it possible to virtualize ESXi 4 with less than 2 GB of RAM?

  I would like to install ESXi 4 in a VM using VMware Fusion, so that I can do some testing with the busybox, etc. instead of playing with my production host. I'm NOT interested in VMs in the ESXi virtual I want to only run the hypervisor.

  The problem I have is that my MacBook Pro has only 2 GB and when I tried to create a virtual machine with 1 GB, ESXi will not settle. Is there a way to circumvent this requirement of RAM?

• Tecra M2 shows 598 mhz max when testing with speedstepping

  Hi all, I have a Tecra M2 I bought from a friend.

  The only thing I have a problem with is the speed of the CPU (Pentium M). He says it's 1800 mhz but shows only 598 mhz max when testing with speedstepping. I looked all over for an answer, usually being updated BIOS (I) change the settings in power options to "always you" (I) still none of these options work, I told him to check in the BIOS to see if speedstepping is activated and I don't see an option.

  I know that the laptop remains at 600 mhz for economy of energy etc., but it goes ever higher when stressing with many applications etc.. Please help I am tearing my hair out trying to fix it. PS while typing that I checked the application of speedstepping and he says that the CPU is clocked at 144 mhz!

  Thanks Simon

  Hello

  If the processor remains on 598 Mhz and does not run faster then, I suppose that an updated firmware not the ASP technician
  In cases like replacement motherboard firmware must be updated
  If this will not happen then the CPU only runs at ~ 600 Mhz.

  Update the firmware ONLY by ASP I think you need to call the guys for the manipulation of the Fryer!

• NTBackup issues with the network after MS10-020 shares

  After installing MS10 - 020 (KB980232), I found that a daily NTBackup job apears to be failed - there are a number of error messages in the newspaper (following excerpt to see) and the event log contains an indication of error of NTBackup.   The specific scenario that fails is to attempt to back up to a network share (via SMB) from a client on the local network.

  Environment:

  o file on a server/NT4 SP6 shares [I know... not supported]

  o all computers that are members of a NT4 domain [ibid.]

  o failure is the same on Win2K/SP4 and Windows XP/SP3 clients

  Notes:

  o the backup works fine with deleted KB980232

  o I have not tested with a file Win2K Server or an AD domain [I'd appreciate your feedback if anyone can verify that he is [or not] working in this environment]

  o the directories/files are all accessible from the client with or without KB980232 [which leads me to believe that the problem is really with NTBackup]

• Disconnected network drive

  Hello, I installed a Windows 2008 (replacement of a Server 2003) domain server with 5 customers Pro XP. There is a login script that is managed by the workstations when they login to map network drives.  Who is pulled from the server.  On the workstations, when they connect, in my computer, it shows the actions, but they still have the name of the old Server 2003, that is to say the Scans on Windows 2003. I removed the actions of the workstation and restarted. Now, the disks are delivered by saying drive disconnected network (letter): on each of them.  I can click on the drive and it opens upward, but the name never changes. Some people have suggested to turn off saving to the card mode NETWORK has done this. Some have suggested to make you that netlogin is set for automotive services, done. A one of the machines, I've removed the NETWORK card and let windows re - install. That solve the problem of this machine.  Others, however, are always challenging.  At present, the firewall is disabled. No installed antivirus for the time. Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  Original title: wireless network.

  What services do need me for a wireless network running? Or is completely managed by the modem provided from my ISP?

  Assuming that you have manually stopped no Windows services, your PC is in good condition, and is equipped with a wireless transmitter/receiver, other than to locate your modem in the list of available wireless signals and by entering the password, you have nothing to do... :-)
