• MAC addresses of our network interface cards physical on the ESX host

  I asked a very interesting question.   What is the MAC address for each physical network cards within our ESX host.   Our host ESX3.5Update4 has 6 of them.

  I am able to ESXCfg allows to identify the vNIC but assimilates to the physical network adapters?   or, how can I find the MAC address of the physical network adapters?

  No, I mean there are additional MAC addresses that the switch can 'see '.  The service console interface have a MAC, and address that will be displayed if you run 'ifconfig', but vmkernel will not be displayed in this way, use "esxcfg-vmknic - l" to display this MAC address.  The virtual machine each have their own of the MAC you can get that from their configuration files, or the vi client.

• Monitoring of virtual machines running on the UCS blades

  We are in the process of migration of servers HP rack to Cisco UCS blades. I have 4 blades UCS running ESXi and dΘmarrez from SAN. We have configured in HP SIM HP servers to monitor hardware issues and the status of the VM. Now Let's watch the material of the UCS in UCS Manager, but I still need to monitor the status of virtual machines. I looked at existing Solarwinds NPM we have all our ESXi HP servers to Solarwinds. What I've discovered, is that we cannot add the individual to NPM ESXi blades, because we can not configure SNMP (or we).

  Which means that migrate us from HP servers for UCS blades, we lose the ability to monitor the State of the CPU and VM.

  How people monitor their virtual machines in an environment of UCS?

  Thank you.

  We monitor our UCS ESXi 5 with SNMP hosts and use Solarwinds NPM.  It works well.  These are the commands that we send through our VMA (free VMware) server to a new host.

  vicfg-snmp - root server - username - password it

  vicfg-snmp - root server - username - password you @162.

  vicfg-snmp - root server - username - password e

  There's probably a way to do it on the console of the host, but I don't know what it could be.

• Determine the maximum use of the processor for a virtual computer in the custom user interface

  I want to determine the maximum use of the processor for a virtual computer in the custom user interface.  How can I do this?

  If I use a supermetric, there is no kind of attribute under CPU called "maximum use.

  Certainly, you get points for a long question! Although to be fair, it's probably my fault to feed you so much information to digest at once.

  1. I would say you can do two ways visually. Use the operations > detail view for 'normal ranges' use the upper limit of the normal range as your typical max. You want an absolute peak, add the metric of a graph or observe that highlight high and low watermarks.

  2. There are a lot of ways to display data, but if you want to display a single metric over a period of time, we could use the following widgets [on top of my head]:

  Top - N analysis

  Weather map

  Analysis of distribution of data

  Among these, I think of your desire for a "peak". Who you want real value, which eliminates the weather map. Then, I think that the concept of a 'Summit' and what is the best thing, I think that the 95th percentile... then I came with the widget of data distribution. The decision is ultimately yours given your particular use case.

  3. you can have it apply to several virtual machines - it's just a widget capable of being an independent provider or receiving widget (metrics, DO NOT choose to select resources). Each resource/metric will add to the widget and you can remove them if you like after it is added. You can certainly all the time you visit... It is date and time standard options you have in all the other widgets chart. With the widget data distribution, you want as much time as possible to get an accurate histogram of the cycles of workload.

  4. This is similar to the question above. You can certainly add parameters of individual resource or a DM that summarizes or AVG groups of resources. And as above, the delay is configurable, along with the other graph widgets.

  5. it's part of Q4 - you can sumN or avgN up to any number of resources with a SM, then discovers that SM in the widget of data distribution. When I said container, I mean an application, group resource pool... all that acts as a container parent within the vCOps.

  6. that's correct, SMs calc using data collected last points... aka single period of time. When you are referring to the longest period, I gave you a few examples of the attributes that are composed of several periods of time which are calculated and created by the adapter for VMware vCenter behvaior. In this case, you have the GVA 15 min CPU 1.5; These specific simple mobile GVA can be specific OR a copy using SMs. Next, you will have the chance is to find a way to distribute what you need through a widget [at that time].

  7. the distribution of data is not for export, it is for Visual functions. If you want the data in CSV, just use a typical chart of metrics and export to a csv and calc your own pics, avg, 95th, whatever.

  8. This is a bit of a mix of all your questions, put in place.

  You are right, if you added those 3 VMs, then calc was the 95th of the AVG. Like Q7, you would not export the data of the distribution of data because the raw data points are not - you do not pass the metric to a metric graphics standard and export via csv.

• virtual network card to the physical network mapping and default loadbalancing

  What Virtual Machine virtual network card is map physical NIC.

  For example.

  lets assume Vswitch1 on host1 esx dedicated for the network of the virtual machine (port group) and it has 6 cards network linked to it (vmnic1, vmnic2, vmnic0, vmnic3)

  Load policy (default) Balancing - from the originating virtual port (it balances only outbound traffic through all the nic assigned to vswitch1 right?)

  ESXi host1 <-Vswitch1 (the VM network) <---(vmnic 0-vmnic 3)

  Lets assume that esxi hosting 6 virtual machines and each virtual machine has two network cards configured.  Through some documents, come out of that when the virtual machine is running, it gets connected to the ports of availabe on virtual swicth. say, I turn on the virtual machine in the order VM1, VM2... VM6.

  Vmname virtual adapter port on virtual switch1 Mapping of the physical network adapter                        

  VM1 eth0, eth1 1.2 which mappeed of the physical NIC to eth0, eth1?

  VM2            eth0,eth1                              3,4                                      ?

  VM3            eth0,eth1                              5,6                                      ?

  VM4            eth0,eth1                              7,8                                      ?

  VM5            eth0,eth1                              9,10                                    ?

  VM6            eth0,eth1                              11,12                                  ?

  Since we use load balancing based on the virtual port, can two virtual map of the same virtual machine are mapped to the two physical NETWORK card I want say eth0 VM1 is mapped to the (physical nic) VMNIC0, VM1 eth1 get connected VMNIC1 (physical nic).

  It would be great if you could explain how the virtual network adapters are mapped to the physical NIC Y at - it a command or a script to the list NIC(of all vms hosted on esxi) virtual NETWORK adapter mappings physical in detail.

  Is there a way to know what virtual NIC to connect to which physical NIC

  With the virtual NETWORK adapter, you hear the virtual card inside the VM? If if and when you use several VMNIC like you, there is no visibility in vCenter (usually vSwitches, we see with Distributed vSwitches).

  However, you can use the command-line ESXTOP tool in the view 'n', for the connection between the virtual machines and the outgoing vmnic.

• Load balancing across the NETWORK interface card

  Hello

  Our ESX Server's NIC six, two for SAN, one to the dedicated Service Console and three for the virtual computer LAN traffic. I noticed one thing look in the performance tab in VC, is that all LAN traffic seems to go on one of the three the NIC and the other two are practically inactive.

  If I look at the network configuration for the vSwitch those with three cards network, grouping of NETWORK cards is set for 'road based on the original virtual port code '.

  Can anyone advise how to get a more 'democratic' usage of the three NETWORK adapter?

  
  
  As seen on http://www.eqlforums.com !

  How many virtual machines you host? With the load balancing algorithm you have selected (default), traffic is balanced to the vNIC level (i.e. all traffic from a given vNIC always through the same bear). This is the case for all, but the IP hash algorithm, which requires you to 802.3ad static port aggregation on your pSwitch. In most cases, there is no need to worry about the use of bear - if it's a GbE NETWORK card, you're probably not close to push the limits.

• I have a hp compaq dc5800, that is used. The pc does not recognize the network interface card.

  I reinstalled win xp pro. When finished and restared the nic card was recognized that even if the lights are on when I joined cable ethernet an atheist. I installed the drivers but nothing has worked. Why this is happening and what can do? Thanks in advance.

  You are the very welcome.

  You have the small factor form (SFF) or convertible minitower (CMT)?

  Electrical supplies and the form factor of the audio and video cards must be flat with low profile brackets if you have a LTS. Power supply power is also less than a SFF in a CMT.

  I have a dc7800 CMT. I installed a very nice video fanless AMD Radeon 6570 1 GB card in mine and I love it.

  I have installed a sound card, but I guess you could do it.

  I don't know how that everything affects the audio settings in the BIOS.

  Most video cards are the HDMI audio chips on board, and those disable the integrated audio system. He must therefore go back into the BIOS and enable the onboard audio setting.

  It's so everyone guess what happens when you add a new sound card. It neutralizes the again integrated audio system (which would be nice in this case), it neutralizes the HDMI audio (not a problem if you never Hang PC via an HDMI cable)?

  In any case, if you want a sound card, you can get a card PCI or PCIe one that there is a PCIe location in the dc7800.

  If you have a Mini PC, I would not recommend add both a video card and audio, because that can overload the 240W P/S.

• Manager of the UCS of 1.2 update (1 d) to 1.3 (1o)

  I use the instructions in the UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_1_3_1.pdf to upgrade my equipment ucs.  There are several questions and I had.

  (1) it says to update the firmware for the IOM and wait until you activate the firmware on the fabric of interconnections that will restart the interconnection fabric and IOM, date on which IOM will be updated.  I did the firmware was not updated on IOM.  The backup version still shows 1.3 (1o) and the current version is 1.3 (1 c) IOM for, even if the fabric of interconnections successfully updated.  When I try to manually activate the firmware on the IOM, I get error combined modification.  The compatibility check failed. What is this?

  (2) I have treid activating the UCS Manager according to page 141 of the guide of version 1.2 (1 d) 1.3 (1o) and I find failed to start activation.  The check of the compatibiity failed. 

  (3) I tried to update the individual servers of 1.2 interface cards (1 d) to 1.3 (1o) and I will meet with the same errors of compatibility check.

  This is the first time I went through and tried to update the firmware on my new box of UCS.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  During the activation of the new firmware, you must check the box to ignore the compatibility check.

• Helps the clarification on the ports of the UCS C220

  Hi guys New computer unified (and the servers / virtualization in general to be honest!) Sorry for stupid questions, I guess. I tried to read as much as I can but still a little fuzzy on a few things.

  At the back of the UCS C220 I have, there is a M, 1 LAN, LAN 2 port, and then a 4 ports ethernet card. What I guessed was:

  M's management for MMIC port

  LAN 1 and 2 were for ESXi (grouping of NETWORK cards?)

  So do not know what is the purpose of the ethernet card 4 ports as well?

  In addition, the MMIC, you have the option for dedicated/shared LOM etc and I don't really understand the differences. I guessed who dedicates meant that MMIC used the port of M and LOM shared meant she could use other LAN ports? Furthermore, making MMIC and ESXi had to be on separate subnets?

  Sorry for stupid questions, but once I have clearly in my head I think it will be easy for me,

  Thank you

  Hello

  If I have CIMC running in "Shared LOM" then it means I can have 1 cable connected from one of the LOM ports and can access both the CIMC and ESXi on a single cable without the need for the management cable to be connected?
  

  Yes, the only cable connected to the LOM port will give access to interface MMIC and ESXi.

  In this case the CIMC and ESXi can also be on the same subnet without problems? (Assuming switch with single vlan)
  

  They can be in the same subnet and won't cause problems

• Problem with FWSM and the same L3 interface switch

  I have two 6513 s with a 802. 1 q trunk linking them. Each switch is redundant Sup720s running in native mode, worm IOS 12.2 (18) SXF (that they were running out of SXD3). A FWSM (ver 2.3 (3), routed mode, unique context) is in each switch, Setup in failover mode.

  I can't get a PC in a virtual LAN that has the defined layer 3 interface on the switch with the active FWSM in this document, to communicate with the devices 'behind' the FWSM. If I move the configuration of layer 3 to this vlan to the other 6513, everything works fine.

  The MSFCs are inside the firewall, they have a configured layer 3 interface in the same vlan as the FWSM 'inside' interface. Several "same security level" interfaces are defined on the FWSM and used to protect the farms. I use OSPF on the MSFCs and FWSM and the routing table is correct.

  The FWSM generates connections to the attempts made by the PC with interface layer 3 defined on the same switch as the active FWSM very well, so this isn't a problem with FWSM ACL.

  A ping of the FWSM "inside" interface from a PC with the defined layer 3 interface on the same switch as the active FWSM fails, although debug icmp trace on the FWSM demand and response shows. A the packet capture, using the NAM-2, only shows the request packets. I captured on the vlan common and FWSM port channel interface bottom of basket.

  Just to add to the confusion, if I capture in the same places, but do the ping of a PC which is in a VLAN with the interface of layer 3 defined in the 6513 which does not contain the active FWSM, that works very well, I see the request and response on the capture of vlan common, but only on demand on the capture of the port channel.

  This problem has been there since the beginning of this implementation and has not changed with IOS and FWSM software upgrades. I had this experience with all the VLANS that I tried to define the interface of layer 3 to on the switch with the active FWSM. I turned on MLS.

  If anyone has experienced this and solved, or knows what is happening, I would be grateful for any ideas.

  Thank you.

  Keith, are you running etherchannel distributed on of your 6513?

  Network configuration / routing / two network interface cards / NAT - leased / dedicated Dell R210 running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

  Hello

  I'm trying to understand how to configure a dedicated server of Dell R210 rented running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

  This dedicated server is rented www.online.net and sits somewhere in France. One of its network adapters have an IP public 62.210.177.20x. The other NIC is here, but I do not understand how it is configured. According to the www.online.net portal, the other NETWORK card has or should have an IP 10.90.116.20x. And I am obviously set up is to have some virtual machines running and be able to access the Internet. I have access to the console of the server Dell through iDRAC and since I could see, one of the network adapters in the IP is 62.210.177.20x defined, and the other has been shown out of service. I managed to make it appear the other interface but I cannot find anywhere how to assign the IP address 10.90.116.20x to this 2^nd network adapter. But then again I don't even know if I should or if I need to assing a IP address to this 2^nd network adapter. What is the cable connected even for this 2^nd NIC? I do not know. Should it be - I'm not either. I don't know French and manuals/instructions on www.online.net are in French. I can try an online translator, but I don't think that what I'm looking for is explained. How do I get this set up? I have to do something about the ESXi on the server console? This interface 2^nd should be in place, or it must be down as if it was originally? Yesterday after watching someone videos on YouTube, I added the second virtual switch and moved the virtual hosts of this switch 2 and he entrusted the 2^nd NIC. But that 2^nd NIC had a red X next to it probably indicating that it was disconnected the 2^nd form virtual switch. Today and now I have managed to access the ESXi console server through iDRAC, I bring the 2^nd NIC, and now both network adapters are assigned to the virtual switch 1^st . But I think that a NIC should be attributed to a single switch and the other card NETWORK on the 2^nd switch. I'm just a desktop guy with enough knowledge to be dangerous J if you / someone put in steps how and where to set them up it... PLEASE

  Thanks in advance

  Network configuration

  • VMware vSphere Hypervisor is an "operating system" for pure virtualization and support NAT or routing. Therefore, only a real bridge configuration can be used.
  • To use a subnet additional IP must be configured as a router VM.

  If I understand the above, I need to show some VM and set up as a router? If the virtual machine that will act as a router must have two network interfaces, where it is connected to a switch and the other to the other switch network card. Am I do? The YouTube video that suggested, but I thought that maybe / somehow ESXi can route packets between the two network cards, but from what I read, ESXi can route packets. Do I need to order an additional / extra / 2nd IPv4 address so that it can be assigned to the interface of the router?

• 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.

  Hi - my Tecra M5-103 does not recognize my 4 GB SD card, could someone tell me if this size chart is supported in this machine please?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I didn't find any official information on SD compatible card sizes for this laptop but I think that card 1 GB and 2GB SD could run without any problem.

  The 4 GB SD card is definitely not supported.

  If you want to use these huge sizes of SD card, you could buy an external drive of All in.
  These devices are not expensive and you can connect and use via the USB interface.
