• CentOS 5.8 32 bit OS does not show the VMXNET3 nic card

  We have an activity reclassification e1000 nic to VMXNET3 on all servers in our environment. We have successfully upgraded to RedHat 5 32 bit to vmxnet3 e1000 nic cards, but we are unable to do so in CENTOS 5.8 32bits. Vmxnet3 is compatible bits centos 5.8 32.

  VMTools are up-to-date and H/W is 7.

  Let me know what should I check other than that and how do I solve the problem?

  Fixed the problem by selecting the correct name of the virtual machine.

• Change the VM group vCenter watch NIC port is connected to the old and the new portgroup

  OK, I have built/upgraded to vSphere 5.

  Everything is fine, and now we migrate the virtual machine to the new VDS switches.

  I'm migrating each VM frm the old VSS to their port group concerned on the VDS.

  EVERYTHING is going very well unless I have a few VM, is that when I change VSS port 'The Virtual Machine Network' group the new service VDS 'Network of the Virtual Machine' vCenter shows the VM as being connected to vSwitches/Exchange.

  If you look at the network/host the virtual computer configuration is shown as attached to the VSS and VDS.

  If you use the CLI PowerShell the VM shows that connected to only the VDS, great she is successful, but how can I remove the old switch if he thinks that it is connected to a virtual computer?

  The VM keep in network connectivity.

  I also tried to change the portgroup interface CLI PS and it returns the same result in vSphere.

  Any thoughts?

  Was it virtual machines running snapshot in assets when they have been migrated from VSS for VDS?

  If so, both can be listed in the properties of the VM... In case you need to return the nod on those virtual machines, they will be then be reconnected to the old vs...

  Hello

  It work certenly with the root user, but it is possible to allow the change with the user from the Group of the root. Behind the two cmdlets, there are two perl scripts that you can find in the folder C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\Scripts\. The scripts are GetVmGuestNetworkInterface_LinuxGuest and SetVMGuestNetworkInterface_LinuxGuest.

  The Get script reads the configuration from/etc/sysconfig/network-script / ifcfg * deposits and also run the ifconfig command. A small observation on sharp file permissions shows that the get cmdlet will work with the user to the root group.

  The game script written in the configuration in sysconfig files /, so you should give permission to write to the root group if you want to use another user.

• vmxnet3 adapter on windows server 2012 with problem of bottleneck for MSSQL Server

  Hello!

  We have a server windows 2012 R2 with MSSQL server 2014.

  The client software uses the jdbc for database connection. If customers make a query which collects a massive amount of data the whole thing slowed down after a while.

  Then, his need to wait 10-20 minutes to speed up again. I have tested and tried everything.

  -measure the ethernet parameters

  -replace the cables by cat7

  -installed a virtual machine with the windows client and the real customer use the virtual environment via rdp

  -activated the RSS in the vmxnet3 advanced settings and windows

  -the mode SplitRx in vcenter vm settings and disabled ethernet Coalescent too

  -set the VM to high latency

  -tried to migrate the virtual machine to another host

  Not for their help. If a massive sql query is run first its great, then the need for a second or more to check a single record.

  checked the vm cpu stress but its less than 5% all the time. Checked the network with wireshark, there are a lot of small packets but nothing big. The bandwidth used is still low.

  When its idle delay after two packets will increase from a few ms to 400-500 ms.

  Our most powerful server is an HP DL380 G9 with two octa core Xeon processor 384 GB of ram, full SSD datastore. Its a lightning fast host.

  The virtual machine have 8 core cpu and 64 GB of ram.

  No matter where am I up the virtual machine or how many resources provide the custom aisle question.

  The strange thing is when customers slowed down I can copy large files between the client and the server with fast speed, so the slow sql.

  I can solved this question if I use the ethernet E1000 instead of the VMXNET3 adapter, but E1000 have much more load and the server need to transfer big files too, not only the sql service.

  Vmxnet3 much faster and have less overhead, but this question of sql, I have a problem with that. So I go back to the E1000 for now. Its slower eat more cpu but the sql connections works very well without any problems.

  Can someone tell me what I can try harder to identify the vmxnet3 problem? I really need it to improve network performance and lower overhead, but the rapid sql is the top priority.

  Thank you!!!

  We had exactly the same problem on our SQL servers once upgraded to Vsphere6.This is due to Receive Segment coalescence feature in new VMXNET3-nics on Win 2012.

  More details here: http://nickmarshall.com.au/blog/2015/7/24/vsphere-6-hardware-version-11

  The best way to solve this problem is to turn it off completely in the server operating system (in the admin command prompt):

  netsh int tcp set global rsc = disabled

  
  

  Check with:

  
  

  netsh int tcp show global

  It's fast and easy without downtime or disruptions and involves no change types of nic.

  After doing this on all our SQL and application servers, everything was ok.

• E1000 adapters cannot communicate on the network, but can't VMXNET3?

  I am trying to create a new environment vsphere with VCSA 5.5

  My VM VCSA (using a NIC VMXNET3) works very well and he communicates without problems.

  My 08r2 with a NETWORK E1000 card VM cannot. (is not DHCP, cant ping when the value static ip etc.). When I add a VMXNET3 NIC on the same machine, she immediately picks up DHCP and can ping etc.

  What continues? I can not just use the VMXNET3 NIC, as the 100 + VMs im going to migrate this environment are all set up with of the E1000 (ESXi 5.1)

• Can't custom NIC IP address

  Hello

  In direct vcloud, I used vmxnet3 NIC for windows 2008 r2, so if I deploy a new virtual machine by vcloud. It cannot be used Fords os customizatiom. the fault is that the virtual machine is unable to identify the network. so I went to browse by vsphere client and found the network not calibrated system, status of the NIC by auto, not sign an IP by DHCP.

  Someone at - it wise to deal with?

  All new network will come to us as not identified with Windows 2008 R2, and there's a Microsoft HotFix for this.  New assigned to a NETWORK adapter MAC addresses are considered different networks.  It is specific to the synthetic network adapters.  See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2526142/

  Second, make sure that customization is enabled on the virtual machines in the catalogue of vApp (if necessary).  This must be set to keep the value when it is copied from the catalog to "My Cloud".  If this is missing, we are not make customization when you turn on the computer, virtual/vApp, for the first time.

• VMXNet3

  OK, here's my problem, I have 24 comments, of which 23 are using the VMXNet3 NIC.

  The 24 Guest running windows server 2003 R2 Standard and uses the Flexible NETWORK adapter, we spend our entire network to 10 giga.

  I can't replace the NIC Flexible with the VMXNet 3 NIC because it does not show in the list of NETWORK interface card on

  So, how can I fix this or am I stuck with it.

  .. also, turn off the deletion of comments it inventory, browse the data store, add the vmx to inventory, try again.  Restart the agents of management on the host ESX (i) where the customer is enrolled wouldn't hurt either.

• Vmxnet3 in models?

  Hello

  We use again the E1000 driver for our Windows 2008 Server VM. We intend to change our master models and put the driver VMXNET3 inside. This will make each new virtual machine have the new network card.

  What do you guys use? I read he had problems with VMXNET3 as not being only unable to use FT... well I can always use VMXNET2 which seems also more recent.

  Guys tune the pilot, as to enable RSS in there?

  To upgrade an existing virtual machine with driver E1000. Is the process:

  -stop VM

  -remove the E1000 NIC

  -Add VMXNET NIC

  -Start the virtual machine and reconfigure the IP address?

  There is no quick path to upgrade?

  TIA.

  We use VMXNET3 on all possible virtual machines, it has significant performance win on E1000, we integrated it into the templates. Like the previous poster, we do not set the VMXNET3, we let them default and I recommend you do the same thing.

  My recommendation for the E1000 VMXNET3 process swap is

  1. Set E1000 IP dynamic

  2. Shutdown VM

  3. Remove the E1000 NIC

  4. Add VMXNET3 NIC

  5. Start the virtual machine and reconfigure the IP address

  6. Open cmd.exe and run

  "set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1".
  "devmgmt.msc".

  In device management

  1. Select "Show hidden devices" in the Device Manager View menu

  2. Uninstall the device removed e1000

  I agree it is a bit heavy, but there has not, to my knowledge at least any more easy way.

• 6u2 ESXi host nested on VMware Workstation for Linux referee v12

  Hello all, I have

  I have a lab environment virtual running in VMware Workstation for Linux v12, and my ESXi hosts do not work correctly on one of the virtual networks. All my troubleshooting suggests a problem with nested ESXi hosts that may be a bug, but I want to assure you that I did everything properly first. That's why I post here with the hope that if I made a mistake that maybe someone else can point out he me.

  Physical system

  8 core Intel Xeon 2.1 GHz CPU

  128 GB of RAM

  OS - kernel Linux 64 - bit w/3.19.0-32-generic Linux Mint 17.3 (fully updated from this announcement)

  VMware Workstation 12 Pro - 12.1.1. Build-3770994 (fully updated from this announcement)

  Nested ESXi host VM

  ESXi v6.0.0 (Build 3825889, completely updated from this announcement)

  4 cards 'physical' (only 3 used for now)

  -all use the e1000 NIC hardware virtual, but also tried vmxnet3 NIC with no difference

  -vSwitch0 use vmnic0 & 1 vmnet16 of virtual network in a pair of active / standby

  -vSwitch1 uses vmnic2 on network virtual vmnet18

  -vmk0 used for management on vSwitch0 and vmk1 for iSCSI on vSwitch1

  -"Promiscuous" mode and forged passes enabled on all Port vSwitch groups (activating or turning off these features makes no difference)

  Test performed until now

  I checked that all the IP addresses and network masks used are correct.

  With the help of vmkping I ping other nodes on the network vmnet16 with success.

  With the help of vmkping I tried to ping the other nodes in the network vmnet18, but that has failed.

  I have depolyed other non - ESXi VMs on the vmnet18 network, and they are able to ping each other, but are unable to ping or ping by the ESXI host.

  I tried various material virtual NIC as mentioned before, but without changes in the results.

  I tried to use only local network instead of the vmnet18 guest network segments with no change in results.

  When I find out the status of the network adapters on the ESXi host through vCenter or host incorporated client vmnic0 & 1 time display network information, but vmnic2 shows no networks. Yet, I know that there is a network with different VM communicate on it. Moreover, I was able to get all of this work on a Windows system running 10 Workstation (this is the laptop that my employer gives me with).

  Having built nested ESXi labs on different platforms as well as physical environments in the past, I'm very confused as to why I can't get this special configuration to work. At this point my gut tells me that this is probably a bug any with the nested themselves ESXi hosts. Since I can get all this work on vmnet16 including the management of ESXi hosts and the VCSA that I use, I am sure that my vSwitch configuration is correct (other than the IP address space and vmnic configurations is bascially the same). Because I can get other virtual machines to communicate over the network vmnet18 I don't see how can be a VMware Workstation for the issue physical Linux host. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? I read on the ESXi hosts nested under VMware Workstation after having known problems and bugs with networking. If anyone else has experienced this?

  Thanks for any help others can provide!

  Kind regards

  Patrick

  Well, the problem is now resolved. The problem was what covelli was trying to explain, but I couldn't because the physical host network adapters being mentioned.

  The problem on the Linux host, but it was a problem of permissions with the virtual Ethernet adapters. The following article has the fix:
  With the help of Ethernet virtual cards in Promiscuous Mode on a Linux host (287) | VMware KB

  Even if I launched the workstation under the root user I have yet met this problem and which still makes no sense to me, but change the permissions solve the problem. I was not getting an error message on my Linux Mint and Ubuntu system, but when I tried on a second box of Linux Mint that I just got the error has been generated, and the error message was the above link it contains.

  So, here's what I learned:

  (1) the question has nothing to with a VMware Workstation definition that you can configure.

  (2) the question has nothing to do with a physical network card.
  (3) the question has nothing to do with any vmnic on the nested ESXi host.

  (4) apparently virtual Ethernet adapters are not the correct permissions when created.

  All you have to do to fix this is:

  (1) open a terminal.

  (2) run the command ' sudo chmod a + rw/dev/vmnet * "(don't forget to run this each time that you create a new virtual network).

  You can also create a group, as shown in the link above and simply give this group the correct permissions. Personally, I think it's easier to just give everyone the rw permission.

  I appreciate the help that others have offered. I did not understand what was asked for in previous answers because of the terms that have been used.

• Cannot get speeds of 10 GB between VM

  Hi, I have 2 ESX hosts with 10 GB in them cards. I have a vSwitch configured with added network cards, they all show 10000 full. The physical switch shows connected to 10 GB as well

  I added 2 VM with vmxnet3 NIC on the same host for the Group of ports. Inside the virtual machine, I see vmxnet3 Ethernet adapters in both, and they all have both connected at the speed of 10 GB watch.

  However, if I take a 3 GB file and copy it from the virtual machine, there are anywhere from 30 to 50 seconds, which puts my speed to something like 480-800Mbps, obviously far 10 Gbps.

  I should also mention that there is almost no other traffic on the ESX host, he is still in the test phase was then only a handful of VM on it.

  Can anyone suggest what I could have done wrong? I thought when I saw that the NETWORK adapter that is connected to 10 Gbit/s inside the virtual machine as everything was hunky dory, but these speeds suuuuck.

  Iperf on Windows doesn't work very well in general, the results seem good enough about that already. You can play with the settings a little more until you have reached a sweet spot, but it's hard to say. Try -p 10 and w 65536 for several parallel sessions and TCP window size increased.

  Also make sure that the VMs system you use for the test have enough vCPUs to handle the load that you push through the virtual wires. Jumbo frames could surely also come in handy.

• Very slow performance on EVA4400

  Hello guys,.

  I need help about:

  So I have a configuration consisting of a few servers HP ProLiant DL380 G5 (2 x Quad-Core Xeon X 5470 + 24 GB of RAM) with dual-port HP FC2242SR 4 GB/s HBA (enforcement of a vSphere 4.1) connected to a HP EVA4400 consisting of 24 300 GB 15K FC disks.

  The servers each have 2 network cards connected to a Cisco 2960 G switch and connected to a dvSwitch in vSphere.

  The disks are grouped into a single DiskGroup on the EVA, and I a Vdisk 1040 of GB (LUNS) created with RAID level 5.

  Well, now I have a virtual machine with Windows Server 2008 R2, acting as a file server. Is the virtual material consists of 4 GB of ram and 4 cores of the processor and the LUN I mentioned above is mounted as a data store VMFS to the host and divided up like a vmdk of 40 GB for the OS (with LSI SAS controller) and an another vmdk of ~ 1 TB on a controller separated from Paravirtual... .intended for real storage of files. The two drives are configured as Thin Provisioning

  And also it has a single VMXNET3 NIC.

  The problem is that the file server is running very bad, it is about 10-12 Mbps for writing and 20 to 30 Mbps per bed.

  I tested it by transferring ~ 2, 3 ~ and ~ 4 GB .iso files to and from the server.

  I have tried to my workstation, other virtual machines & physical servers... the performance is the same.

  I also vMotioned the file to another server hosts... still the same thing.

  I thought that maybe it is something wrong with the virtual machine itself... so since I was an another windows 2008 R2 VM residing on a smaller (150 GB) LUN I did the same test by copying .iso to that... and the performance was the same. And I also did a Linux VM... his thing.

  Any ideea what the problem is there... because it just seems very bad performance... it's as much slower even than a normal PC

  Basically there is virtually no traffic on the fibre channel network most of the time... it's not congestion or anything like that.

  The EVA and the FC switches are running the latest firmware.

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  fight the block cache on EVA are fully charged? or is there any failuer disk raid reconstruction is done in the background.

• change info student in the school of Apple Manager

  After completing the Setup Wizard in the Manager of the school, I stayed with 468 students and 31 instructors. In the models that I used to download via SFTP information (using Filezilla) I've assigned each student in the class by giving them a grade, the class id and so strong. Each class had several teachers.

  But all that information is lost when I downloaded models. Each class has now that only one instructor, but there is no students in classes. I thought the classes would be assigned automatically based on the tags that the students were given. It goes same for instructors, I manually add instructors in classes, even if I had already done so.

  If I'm looking for some students, however, then I see that the level of appropriate lubricant have been applied. Grade level, class ID, class name, it is apparently not the same. So I have to reassign the correct students to their classes. I convert all IDs students manual, because I can't change whatever it is, when all is related to the SFTP post. Finally, I plugged the students for their correct classes.

  Then I noticed that the wrong password policy has been selected for each student. Although localization at the level each student must have a 4 digit PIN, they now 8 combination of number of letters. And no way to change for the most part, I have to manually change 4-digit. Right?

  Also this manual madness applies also to change the class by student news? I can't change the class to an entire class id?

  When I change an info students or teachers in their 'Individuals' account information, (not correct namespelling) I also delete the old account of their class and have to fill the empty space with up-to-date profile information again.

  Please someone tell me that it is really easy and I've just forgotten a filtering information / in bulk / dynamics of change in the option tables all in school manager!

  So far, I like the promise of the ASM, but I was frustrated by it's steep learning curve (download SFTP problems) and the scarcity in the options.

  TLDR / my real question: is there an option in ASM to filter multiple people, to change the settings in bulk (such as the method of connection setting to 4 digits for one class at a time) and to ensure that when the news about an individual has changed these changes are applied to all tables of data within ASM?

  In response to my own question: I discovered that it is possible to change the password policy and other info to groups of students selected in ASM. I was really happy that I not rehook to SFTP or manually edit appleids 468 students. In looking at 'individuals', you can sort by rank or role, and make a selection of students by using the shift or command options as you normally would. You cannot drag to select well. After you have selected, you can change various settings for your selected group. After this, you can print the new password for your selected group instructions. Nice.

    • Reset Eager 136 GB Thik provisioning
    • 500 GB Thik provisioning eager to zero
    • 600 GB Thik provisioning eager to zero
  • connected to the port vDS group 1 VMXNet3 network adapter
  • latest VMware tools installed
  • Guest OS Windows Server

  When activated the fault tolerance, I chose the ESXi02 and second datastore02 shared data store 1.28 at: the vmdk and vmx file is created successfully and I free 44Go on the datastore02 of a second.

  But whene I try to turn on this dv01 I have this error

  • vCenter car not power on the secondary VM
  • and whene I look on the event, the error is not "enough space for the secondary virtual machine."

  Can someone help me, please to fix this whene I enabled FT on litle VM02 with 1 thin vdisk, is working but for dv01 is not work

  THX in advance

  Best regards

  Hi DZinit,

  The computation of the space you need on the second data store, you take the file vswp into account. This will generate enough to on and be equal to the size of RAM allocated to the VM.
