• Consolidation and failover for the uplink on the Distributed switch port group

  Hello

  I have a problem with the implementation of a distributed switch, and I don't know I'm missing something!

  I have a few guests with 4 of each physical cards. On the host eash I configured 2 virtual switches (say A and B), with 2 physical network by vSwitch using etherchannel adapter. Everything works fine for etherchannel and route based on the hash of the IP for the latter.

  Recently, I decided to create two distributed switches and move the respective physical ports of virtual switches to this distributed switches. Once again, I want to configure etherchannel and route based on the hash of the IP. But when I open the settings for the uplink port group, aggregation and failover policies are grayed out and cannot be changed. Apparently they inherit configuration also but I don't know where!

  You must set the card NIC teaming policy on trade in reality and not on the uplink group more expected.

• Set a vm network distributed port group

  Try to set up the network to a virtual computer to a port group distributed.  There seems to be a quick and easy way to do this - you need a small code snippet that does?

  I was thinking something like this (u_vm is a Vc:VirtualMachine)

  NIC var = new VcVirtualEthernetCardNetworkBackingInfo();

  nic.deviceName = "VGA-myportgroup";

  spec var = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();

  for each (var edge in u_vm.config.hardware.device)

  {

  If (device.deviceInfo.label is "Network adapter 1")

  {

  Spec.Device = device;

  Spec.Operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit;

  Spec.Device.backing = nic;

  }

  }

  u_vm.reconfigVM_Task (spec);

  But as the bombs with this error:

  [13:20:42.303 2015-06-23] [I] can't convert the com.vmware.vim.vi4.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec@ffb8e5cd in com.vmware.vim.vi4.VirtualMachineConfigSpec (workflow: meh / Scriptable task (item1) #17)

• How is it that I can ping between ESXi vmkernel interfaces with the sizes of package exceeding the value set in my passage upstream and one located in my vmkernel port group itself?

  
  I have a 10 GB dell powerconnect 8024f the switch and the firmware is OLD, but the port config shows maximum frame size = 9000 to all cable ports

  2 guests ESXi 5.5 wired, build 1331820, put each host computer network is managed by a single port dual qlogic 8150 ANC

  When I connect to my windows VM to check my new 10 GB connectivity (it is configured for jumbo mtu = 9000 frames) and ping-l 8190 against ESXi vmkernel interface that was MTU of 1500, I get an answer without any packet loss... How can it be if the port is configured for only 1500 MTU?  I thought that the two vmkernel port group and vswitch properties must have 9000 mtu defined, it appears that the vswitch properties override the port group properties.

  But I know I must be missing something, a few important concepts, somewhere, because when I connect to ESXi via ssh I can ping devices with values greater than 8190 and not just windows virtual machines that reside on the same host where the ping uses the internal bus, but I am referring to the connections of the host of other ESXi on the switch management.

  In summary - how the VMkernel does ping and response to pings of bigger sizes greater than the value of the switch upstream?   and why do ping with large packets get answers when the vmkernel port group is always set at 1500, is this a bug or is this feature obsolete?   I remember specifically in ESXi5 that I had to configure the vmkernel port group and the vswitch for this property to work.

  Unless you specify "Don ' t fragment" (-f for Windows) you will be able to use any size package successfully.

• What is the different NIC Teaming policy between vSwitch properties setting and Port-Group

  Hello

  I know that there r two ways to set NIC Teaming policy: vSwtich or Port Group.  What is the different?

  Who is the highest priority?    Could the port group properties overrides the setting of vSwtich? Or just inherit.

• How to set security on the port group during the creation

  How can I set the security options on a group of ports in the creation? I want to clarify the 3 options to reject at the level of the port group.

  In this case, you will need to use the AddPortgroup method.

  $esxName = "MyEsx" $swName = "vSwitch1" $pgName = "NewPG"
  
  $esx = Get-VMHost -Name $esxName $netSys = Get-View $esx.ExtensionData.ConfigManager.NetworkSystem

• VMware port group vs vswitch ensures networking nic

  Hi all

  I'm a bit confused as the eve of NIC on vswitch and network card set watches over the port group

  for example

  If I have an ESXi server with 3 vmnic1 network card, vmnic2 and vmnic3

  and I have set up a 'network' vswitch, where I put vmnic1 and active vmnic2 and vmnic2 as before

  I create 1 portgroup

  (1) "data1" where I put on the vmnic3 level as asset and vmnic1 portgroup, vmnic2 as Eve

  How things work it seems door as vmnic 3 of Eve upgraded vswitch and intervenes at the level of the portgroup

  can clarify you for me please?

  On the group level on the port you van ignore the order of failover that is set to the level of vSwitch, so in this way, you can define a failover different/NIC teaming for any group of port defined on this vSwitch.

  It is not necessary to do so, if your Setup doesn't require it.

• Port - group VLAN ID Questions

  Hi guys

  Can I change change the running virtual machine port group?

  in the case where the virtual machine was in a group of Port named test - VLAN ID 100 and I need to change the Port Group deployment VLAN ID 105 which now means my VM will not have access to traffic on vlan 100? It's automatically or I need to change my IP or something?

  and this comes from the frequently asked questions

  Q: a configurable virtual machine on several VLANs?

  A: you can set up a single VLAN ID for each virtual network adapter on a virtual machine. However, since you can config -.

  ERUS up to four virtual cards per virtual machine, you can configure a virtual machine that spans four different VLAN.

  I think I'll need to set up several virtual LANs for some virtual machines. What do mean by "set up a virtual machine that spans four different VLAN".

  Thank you guys

  Yes, you can certainly change the portgroup. But, remember, your new VLAN is configured properly in order to maintain the networking of virtual machine after the change.

  Max on max. position 2-3 drops of ping may occur depending on your use of the network and ESX utlization of resource for the change task.

  Simply go to the settings-> virtual adapter - > select new vlan-> OK

  If you want your traffic to be moved to a different VLAN dynamically, it must be done at the level of the physical switch. Think of the vswitch as a "dummy" switch layer 2, it will follow policies of networking of the physical switch only, sound rather a passage only. Everything depends on the new port (nic) configured to take the new vlan correctly or not.

• Several physical NIC cards connected to vSwitch / Port Group

  Hello

  I have several physical NETWORK adapter on a host connected to a single vSwitch / port group, does this mean that the speed of the network is shared by all of the physical NIC, or I have to do something special to enable this feature?

  Please see attached .jpg

  Thanks in advance.

  If all of your network adapters is active in the nic teaming configuration, you must have a physical switch that supports the aggregation of links and you must configure it. The ESX itself does not have this kind of work.

  Actually is a bad idea to let all NICs connected without having to configure the nic teaming (1 active and others waiting for failover) or without going through the aggregation of links.

• The Cisco Nexus 1000V VSM port group settings?

  I could not find the Group of port settings when executing the VSM in a virtual machine covered in the Cisco documentation... they say just 'create 3 groups of port '.   But, the configuration of VLANS to these pages are not clear to me.

  In the configuration of VSM, you set the VLAN on each network (Mgmnt, control, package).   This means that the VM VSM will be production of marked packets, so groups of port must be set as master / virtual tag comments.

  But, if this is the case, why they recommend 3 groups of ports?  You should be able to use a trunk port group and letting the physical switch the VLAN.  Thus, they rather waiting for assignment of VLAN will be on the Port groups?

  The Cisco config docs give much information on the Cisco command line configuration...  Some may give, or point, the settings on the VMware port groups when using MSM in a virtual machine?

  Hello

  VSM virtual machine generates no marked packets but depends on the configuration of the port group VLAN ID Vswitch to label.  It's done as having evacuated the computer host computer on the vmnic associated the Vswitch.

• vmreconfig.pl adding a network adapter with port group

  I have searched the net looking for a way to add a network adapter on a virtual machine and specify the port group / name of command line or with vi perl of the network and have found no examples (or change a network map of existing virtual machine port group). Adding an adapter with vmreconfig.pl is easy, but there is no place to set the port group (containing a special VLAN id for the new virtual machine that is just cloned). I am creating a fully automated system and this characteristic seems to be missing or I missed just plan. Can anyone help?

  Here is the code which is close to what we use:

  #$netname is a string of the name of the network, the host view is the moref of the host that you deploy on

  My $net_vm_dev_conf_spec = create_net_device (network-online $networkname name, hostview-online $host_view).

  my % args = @_;

  My $network_name = $args {netname};

  My $host_view = $args;

  {if ($network_name)}

  My $network_list = Vim::get_views (mo_ref_array-online $host_view-> network);

• Affecting several VLANS to a Port Group

  Hi all!

  We have 2 switches farm of server connections to the host server. Each of our 8 ESX servers has 4 physical network adapters that support virtual machines. We have 2 network cards to each physical switch. We have a single vSwitch and 2 port VM groups set up on each ESX Server. We use and configuration active / standby in Port groups so we can control what physical move the VM speaks to. All 4 network cards are available for the Group of ports, with connections going to spend 1 active and forward to switch connections 2. It is reversed on the other group of Port.

  We have several VLANS associated with our data center. Is it possible to put the tag VLAN on 2 port groups VM to support multiple VLANs? Otherwise, I think we have to put up a pair of these groups of ports for each VIRTUAL local area network, we want to make it available to the virtual machines on each ESX Server. Is this correct? We have some circuits/EtherChannel enabled on switches that work properly. However, we cannot port VM groups to pass traffic unless label them us, and it seems we can only enter a VIRTUAL local area network in the area.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  To use the trunks that are coming in your ESX host, you must have your VLAN Tag somewhere along the way.  If you are not at the level of the switch (since you're trunking), you will need to do the vSwitch, either the level of the virtual machine.

  VSwitch level, this by creating exchanges and then marking at the level of the port group.  Marking that is currently happening in the ESX/vSwitch, and your vm must use the port suitable for group the VLAN they need to use.

  Your last option is to tag at the level of the virtual machine itself.  To do this, your vSwitch must use VLAN 4095 tag, which allows all the VLANS to pass through, and all tags are marked.  The portgroup vSwitch here is basically a tunnel and will allow the unmodified traffic, but now, you have to mark your VLAN of the NETWORK adapter in your virtual machine.  It is very effective if you have a large number of virtual machines.  The most practical method will be to create the VLAN-based exchanges at the vSwitch level and go from there.

  Unlettered, somewhere, communication will not incorrectly, as the physical switch will assume that all traffic not marked will even vlan uses unmarked frames (vlan native), and machines on that vlan can communicate each other.

• Put virtual machines inside the VMkernel port group

  Hello

  Network for administrators of VMware SIAS layout:

  "You can not put VMs within that group of port because it is made especially for a VMkernel port."

  However, I use ESXi 5.5 and is able to put normal interface of VM inside the vmk port group. (I only created 1 vmk port group so all virtual machines in the same group with the vmkernel interface)

  May I know if this is a new feature, or something is wrong?

  Thank you!

  This may be possible with distributed switches not with standard switches.
