Failed to create FT logging with grouping of NETWORK cards

I use vSphere vCenter 5.1 and 5.1.

I create a port group of kernel VM on a new vSwitch, assign two NICs used on my ESX Server and logging FT. I have then add a second port VM kernel group to the two network cards and also assign FT logging. When I do this FT Logging the first port of kernel VM group is disabled. If I then manually enable FT gones then a second by logging on the first group of ports of kernel VM mode off.

The same thing happens when I create 2 vSwitches, assign 1 NIC to each of them and assign the FT logging.

I wanted to create my FT Logging predisposees in this way to match what I've done with vMotion and VM Network.

I do something wrong or you can have a group of ports per server for recording of FT? Please notify.

Thank you

Multi-NIC VMotion is a new feature in vSphere 5.0. Multi-NIC FT has not yet been introduced. You mentioned trade Multi-NIC VM, but it is not possible either. While you can have two interchanges to connect to the same VLAN they must have unique names and a VM NIC may connect only to a unique name.

What advantage do you hope to achieve with Multi - NIC FT? If the goal is more throughput 10G is the only option currently. If the lens is better traffic load balancing so that you could watch LACP on the vDS.

  • Configuration of VLAN with grouping of NETWORK cards.

    I have a Dell Poweredge server here at work with 2 NIC cards on it.  I have the ESXi hypervisor installed and created virtual machines. I want to use two network cards that the lables vmnic0 and vmnic1 VMware.  I would like to share the same subnet.  See the attached screenshot.  vmnic0 works very well and it is connected to vswitch0.  My management network uses this same vmnic0.  I guess I have to turn on VLAN somehow.  Do I need to do to the ESXi Server Console?  Goal is to be able to put a box until the server ESXi Dell itself and connect a crossover cable and have an IP address to be able to get leased to it in the same subnet, connected on the vmnic1. Thank you

    The problem here is that there is a requirement of 3rd communication. The esx server you are converting to must be contacted as well.  If you connect your machine of transformation of the physical machine, you can convert local files, which should be no problem.  But, you don't want to keep these files locally on the server of conversion, you are trying to convert it to ESX, correct?  It's the difference between your previous method and your current attempt.

  • iDRAC 7 express, grouping of network cards

    Hello

    I can't access iDRAC when the grouping of NETWORK cards is configured. Is it according to the design guidelines? There is no work around for this?

    #idrac7express #NICteaming  

    Hello.

    Yes, it's normal. IDRAC Express does NOT use a NETWORK card dedicated for remote access, but rather use a LAN on motherboard (LOM) as a shared port. Now, once you have Teaming on the LOM ports, then the iDRAC Express cannot share all the ports with the team. The solution is to upgrade to iDRAC Enterprise that uses another port dedicated team card NETWORK for management traffic.

  • Grouping of NETWORK cards

    Hello

    I am new to virtualization and have a basic question about the collection of NETWORK adapters. I have a host with a NETWORK card with 2 ports (vmnic0 and vmnic1). I have a network cable connected to vmnic0 and vmnic1 is open without any network connection to the outside world. Can I use grouping of NETWORK cards in this case? Or both network adapters must be connected to the network for NIC teaming to work?

    You can certainly configure everything as if the two vmnic was active. However, with a single uplink connected to a physical switch, it may not make much sense.

  • Grouping of NETWORK cards causing the ESXi to retransmit ethernet frames received.

    I had an HP Proliant DL380 G5 ESXi 5.1.0 connected to a Cisco 3750 Switch stack.

    All by performing a tcpdump on a host without a report, I discovered that he was under the bombardment with ethernet frames for the MAC address of a computer virtual located on a host across the data center. After a few brief troubleshooting, I discovered that I was able to stop those erroneous frames by disabling NETWORK adapters on my VMWare host group.

    I believe that in my situation when ESXi is configured to use two network cards to all frames received on vmnic0 and retransmits them on vmnic1 and vice-vesa. I experienced these symptoms when ESXi is configured for failover with an active adapter and adapter mode standby and I also experienced the same symptoms in the following load balancing configuration.


    Symptoms: some time after activating the load balancing, all frames Ethernet for the MAC address of a virtual computer on the affected host are broadcast on each switch port in the entire data center.

    Steps to reproduce:
    (1) implementation below configuration.
    (2) unplug the ethernet cable connecting vmnic1 and switch1 port gi2/0/4
    (3) run the host 1.1.1.1 EI - n - q tcpdump on any machine physics linux in the data center (don't even have to be connected directly to 1).
    Confirm there is no packet seen with the IP address of 1.1.1.1 destination
    (4) plug the cable between vmnic1 and switch1 gi2/0/4 port ethernet
    (5) wait 60 to 120 seconds
    (6) watch a burst of frames ethernet with the destination MAC address of the VM (which owns 1.1.1.1) in the output of tcpdump

    Cisco Configuration:

    hostname switch1
    !
    src-dst-ip port-channel load-balance

    !

    interface GigabitEthernet1/0/4

    Description vmnic0.host0 (NIC 1)

    Unplug physically 2 cable NETWORK card on the host and configuration mirrored port on the switchport to 1 NETWORK adapter of the host, I have been able to confirm that the host VMWare issues guides on NIC1 with a destination MAC address of one of its own VM.

    After carefully reviewing the captured data, I noticed that the destination frames wrong "02:bf:cb:50:a2:76" MAC address actually belonged to "Local Area Connection 1' one of my Windows 2003 Server WHAT VM installed on the suspected host.

    Dig a little deeper, I discovered that this virtual NETWORK card is presented to the operating system as
    Name: Local 1 network connection
    "Type: VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet adapt."
    MAC: 02-BF-CB-50-A2-76

    But the configuration of the virtual machine in vCentre is
    Name: Network adapter 1
    Type: Flexible
    MAC: 00: 0C: 29:fa:e8:83

    Note the different MAC addresses.

    Digging a little further I discovered that Windows 2003 server has configured on "Local 1 network connection" network load balancing and NLB is the cause of the altered MAC address.

    Rather than to investigate further I have just placed a load balancer linux before the server windows 2003 cluster and that you turn off NLB.

    But I suspect that there is still a fundamental problem in the Virtual Switch VMware with how he learns the MAC addresses of the virtual machine is using flexible vNIC. In particular, with a virtual machine that uses a form to override the MAC address such as that used by NLB.

  • vSphere replication - grouping of NETWORK cards

    We have a large virtual machine (60 to VMDK) we need to replicate to a second host.  We are currently receiving about 100 MB/s and it seems we're reached the limit of 1 GB.  I want to increase the bandwidth available for this large replication work by aggregating traffic through several nic is it possible?  If so, how?

    I tried the following approach, thinking that these operations can be based on the same transfer mechanism, but it has not made a difference.

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & addresses...

    The KB points it is grouping of network cards that will help when you lost the active NIC then stand by will pass your tgraffic.

    Now coming to your scenario, you need to configure the user profile of the NIOC here you have to devote all the speed of the network to this replication job card. You cannot aggregate multiple Nic for reaching the combined capacity. We have a concept called LAG and LACP. but it will also give the speed that is independent to the different traffic

  • Grouping of NETWORK cards reverse the policy

    When I apply a profile esxi 5.0 to 5.1 host, I got the following configuration message. any ideas?

    Hello

    This is mentioned in the 5.1 version of vSphere notes:

    Compliance policy network outages continue to host profiles created from applied guests 5.1 ESXi ESXi 4.1 or ESXi 4.0 hosts
    After you apply a profile created from an ESXi 4.1 or ESXi 4.0 host host to a 5.1, the failures of compliance profile next host ESXi host could continue:

    For the network policy for the Group [NAME of GROUP of PORT] port spec.policy.nicTeaming.failureCriteria property does not match
    For the network policy for the Group [NAME of GROUP of PORT] port spec.policy.nicTeaming.reversePolicy property does not match


    Network settings above are not supported on ESXi 5.1 hosts and are configured is more when you apply a host profile with these settings.

    Solution: Two options are available:

    • After applying host initially created from an ESXi 4.1 host to a host profile ESXi 5.1, create a new profile of the host from the host ESXi 5.1 and which attach to this 5.1 ESXi host and other affected 5.1 ESXi hosts.
    • Change the policy of grouping of NETWORK adapters in the profile of the host to the option user must explicitly choose political instead of the strategy of grouping NIC specified.

    Now I know IVotre profiles are at the origin of 5.0 but the thought to mention it anyway

  • Tests... Grouping of NETWORK cards - based IP Hash

    Hello!

    I am configuring the NETWORK cards on my vSwitch grouping feature. I configured several ports in two physical switches (two HP Procurve 2810) (HP 2810 switches obtained haven´t etherchannel) LACP mode available. Right now, everything is Ok.

    So my question is: How can I test if the IP hash function works well, it is, connecting the same virtual machine with the help of several physical NIC according to computers ask server information?

    I thought about using "sniffer" or something like that. More ideas?

    PS: I tried to configure the collection of NETWORK adapters - Hash IP without configuration LACP in my physical switch and I noticed haven´t alarms or internal errors. May I take it that it works well?

    Thanks for all!

    With ESXTOP command you can see network load on each physical network adapter. Press N to see details on the network.

    I'm not familiar with the switches HP, but (like Cisco), it should be possible to see the counters on LACP or detailed statistics on your switch.

    If you do not use load balancing on your physical switch, all incoming traffic from the network of your virtual machine can come on one single network card.

  • I have a problem with the wireless network card.

    Hello

    I use a laptop Medion MIM 2210 and I have a problem with my wireless network adapter.

    I get a message before Windows 7 starts telling me that there is problem with a wireless driver. The exact message says:

    "Intel UNDI, PXE - Z.0 (build 082)

    Copyright (C) 1997,1998,1999 Intel Corporation

    VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter v2.43 (2005/12/15)

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

    "PXE - MOF: exit Inel PXE ROM.

    This message appears every time you start and I don't know what he means by "Media Test Failure".

    I turned on my laptop today and noticed I had no internet connection, it showed that it connected but with yellow '!' symbol indicating that it was not fully connected. He did this for a while now and I have reinstalled Windows, in safe mode and I tried to delete the drivers and re - install, but it hangs right on uninstall what makes me angry no the case.

    Of course now, I tried to look for help my internet connection is running but the message is still there. Can someone tell me what to do or how to solve this problem, I am standing now on what to do. I was also on the drivers Medion website but it is impossible to navigate around and drivers without end there'e to choose. I would consider ringing them and asking them if they were not located in Germany as it would cost me a bomb! I did just now searching online via the Device Manager to see if he can find an update for the drivers but nothing came.

    Thanks for any help that anyone can offer :)

    The message is to be cause the BIOS looking for boot from LAN (not wireless) before it starts and then from the hard drive. The Media test failure is because to boot from LAN it tests to see if the wired Ethernet is connected, it is not if it generates the error message.

    Enter the BIOS press F2 after initial power on but before the Logo Windows shows

    Integrated devices should allow you to set the settings of wired network adapter. According to the BIOS it is either "enabled with PXE" or have another option to enable or disable the boot ROM

    In the boot options the LAN card should be removed altogether.

    This message is ONLY applicable to the transfer of the BIOS boot process and should have no impact on the problems of WiFi (it is not on WiFi)

  • Best way to set up a host of ESXi 4 with only 3 network cards?

    Set us up an ESXi 4 Host with 3 cards.  It is a stand-alone server that will not connect to the SAN FC network.  However, we respect the vStorage VM function if necessary.

    With only 3 cards on hand, there's any suggestion on the speed and the consolidation of NETWORK cards that we set up?  Our network administrator wants to give us only 1 x 1 Gbps Connection + 2 x 100 Mbit/s.

    Your suggestion is requested

    Thank you

    Post edited by: TonyJK

    Since you do not connect to FC SAN I guess you have local storage or storage over IP.

    In this case it is recommended to dedicated 1Gbit link for IP storage. If you can not have dedicated you will share Gbit link between the storage on IP and VMs.

    100 MBit NIC cand be used only:

    (1) dedicated storage VMotion or IP management interface

    (2) relief links networks of VM and management failover

    You definitely need at least 2 running on Gbit network cards

  • create the second with WRT54GL wifi network?

    I have DSL with a Comtrend router/wifi (WIFI1).  I would like to connect the WRT54GL to the physical network and have it create a separate WiFi (WIFI2), so my laptop connects to WIFI2, transmitted on the LAN and the Internet.

    Cannot do this work - tried to configure the WRT to server DHCP, DHCP pass-through (for the comtrend), and the best I can do is connect to WIFI2 and have access to the LAN but not the Internet.

    In the end, I want to put an antenna with high gain on the WRT to send to a building about 400' away and do away with horrible WIFI comtrends, but I just can't at first base.  Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    You can configure this way: comtrend as main router with Wifi1 and active DHCP then connect with the disabled DHCP and Wifi2 Linksys wireless router. For example, if the IP address of the first router is 192.168.1.1, put the Linksys IP address to 192.168.1.2 and the two will be connected via the LAN - LAN or Ethernet to Ethernet. Visit this link and read the setup of LAN - LAN http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=785463d9ecaf4cac84aed245b08d615f_3733.xml&pid=80&r...

    . I also suggest that before you disable the DHCP server on the router Linksys you first define its wireless settings.
