Grouping of NETWORK issue cards *.

Hello

I am new to this field of vitrulization, but not in the networking arena,

My question is:

Where is the collection of network adapters and applied failover?

I'm a bit but confused when reading Scott Lowe book "Mastering Vmware vSpehere 5 '


It has configured NIC teaming in Vswitch0 when using VSS and while in VDS it he set up in dvport-group?


Pourrait

In fact, you can configure the grouping level vSwitch and substitute in port groups. According to which groups of ports configured, it is logical or is even necessary to override the grouping of NETWORK cards. Think, for example, iSCSI network where only a single vmnic must be associated with each VMkernel port group.

  • 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

    !

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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 2nd network adapter. But then again I don't even know if I should or if I need to assing a IP address to this 2nd network adapter. What is the cable connected even for this 2nd 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 2nd 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 2nd NIC. But that 2nd NIC had a red X next to it probably indicating that it was disconnected the 2nd form virtual switch. Today and now I have managed to access the ESXi console server through iDRAC, I bring the 2nd NIC, and now both network adapters are assigned to the virtual switch 1st . But I think that a NIC should be attributed to a single switch and the other card NETWORK on the 2nd 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

    • 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?

    Hello

    We will implement the ESXi5.0.

    We would like to know if we use different ports for network management and vMotion groups?  It seems that two of them use the same (different from ESX 4) IP address.

    In addition, my supervisor would like to know what is the minimum number of network interface cards to use (because the server has no slot PCIe)?

    Your opinion is requested.

    Thank you

    Since we implement VLANS on our site and based on the documentation, ESXi 5 gets only 1 battery IP, wonder what is the best way to cope.

    It is true that ESXi has that one battery IP, which is very good compared to the other two in ESX (Linux in the Service Console and the Vmkernel). However, we have only an IP stack means that it is the same driver tcp/ip, but does not mean that we cannot have multiple IP addresses.

    For example, you can create a Vmkernel how many interfaces you want and assign different IP addresses, which could be on the same network or on different.

    Even if you don't have a VLAN in your environment I would still recommend using another IP network for vMotion for your management. This will make the two a little more 'best practice', easier to different and you would be good too preperred if you implement VLANs in the future.

  • 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.
