Host with 2 NIC cards

• Host with dual NIC, public and private, the installation program

  I am trying to set up an environment and I want to just make sure that its security and I'm doing things.

  My host mahchine, Windows 7, has two network cards. A single network adapter is behind a firewall, and the other is open to the internet. I wish I had one of my VMware machines to be on the public network adapter. Now I know how to do this in the network Configurator in the workstation. My question is, is that if I connect the public network for vm machine card, my physical host computer will no longer use this card. I'm just afraid to have public network map is open on my host.

  Then, is to have a VM machine linked to a NETWORK card, then only allows only not the host machine to not use this NETWORK adapter or is there a way to do it?

  Thanks for any help

  Yes, you can do it.  In the properties of the network adapter on the host operating system, disable all protocols, clients, etc. EXCEPT the VMware Bridge Protocol.  Then, VMware can use this device, but the host will not.

• How can I force a virtual computer to use a specific physical network adapter in a system with 2 network cards?

  I have a host with 2 network cards system.   I have a NETWORK card for the host computer to connect to my domain.  I have a virtual machine that is a deployment server Windows running Windows 2008 server.   The second NIC is to come and turn off the host machine and will then go to a CIsco 3550.   I need the server VM to use deployment only the second NETWORK card and does not communicate the 1st network card that the host uses.

  Can someone please help?  I'm new to VMware.   The original virtual machine on an esx server and was then converted to VMware server 2.

  Yes, just run the network on this host Editor as well.

  Best regards, Hendrik

  Disabling protocols spanning-tree on the Procurve ports connected to the ESX host is going to promote a recovery more rapid port. Similarly, running global spanning tree is not recommended if you mix some VLAN iSCSI and data in the same fabric (i.. e. you do not want a STP process to hang storage IO). Spanning tree on your switches, look PVST (or Procurve BPMH) to isolate the STP VLANs unique events.

  In regard to the load balancing is, by default (route based port ID) value algorithm requires less overhead on the ESX hosts.  You may not use LACP on the Provurve the lack of facilities LACP ESX. You must use "route based on the IP hash" sideways ESX and 'static trunks' on the side of Procurve. Unless you have specific reasons why your network need loads this configuration, I'd caution against it for the following reasons:

  (1) IP hash requires thorough inspection of packages by the ESX host, increasing CPU load as load package increases;

  (2) the static configuration puts switch physics rigid and critical ESX host port mapping. Similarly, groups of ports all will fail as the Procurve batteries for management only and won't be on switches 802.3ad circuits Group (i.e. all ports of a group of circuits must be linked to a single switch) - this isn't a limitation of the port ID routing;

  (3) K.I.S.S. love port ID mix of port ID, beacon probe and failover on the port assignments you will get segregation of the raw traffic without sacrificing redundancy - even through switches.

  I hope this helps!

• Can we do vmotion between hosts with load balancing in network cards grouping different strategy.

  Hello

  We are implementin new host in our Infra and do some vmotions between different groups. A group a host with balancing 'route based on IP hash. " Can we do Vmotion to another cluster where the hosts have different load balancing policies. In addition, if we change the policy on new hosts in furture of load balancing is loss of downtime or a package?

  Kind regards

  Vikram Kumar

  First of all, no problem from VMs one ESX to another, they use different political Multipathing.

  Second, if you use IP hash, it means you are using etherchannel (or LACP) on the physical layer - configuration/cancellation of the configuration that almost always require that the uplinks are not used by any VMs, so you have time to synchronize the physical and virtual configuration. It is not a time out, but you need to plan accordingly - all depends on your physical network capacity.

• VM with 1 NIC shows a standard portrgoup and a distributed portgroup?

  It's confusing me. I'll put up a distributed switch, and I have all my exchanges set up, each corresponding to the standard portgroup (IE, 1 standard for VLAN 15 portgroup and 1 portgroup distributed to VLAN 15, etc.).

  So I have a win 2008 R2 VM, with 1 NIC and I shut it down and changed is the portgroup to the equivalent distributed portgroup standard networking (e.g., the portgroup distributed for this VLAN). I made this as a dozen times already, for other virtual machines, and it's all worked fine. This time, however, this adds the portgroup distributed, but also leaves the portgroup standard.

  And I don't know why. With 1 card NETWORK, the settings of the virtual machine are showing the NETWORK adapter with a network connection to the distributed portgroup, as it should. Yet the component resources in the watch vSphere client * two * portgroup standard and distributed. All cards that are in the vDs are in LACP mode (we connect to a 6513 Cisco using 10 G of fiber NICs). VDs has 1 NIC of each host, and the standard switch on each host has the other NETWORK card, so I can migrate virtual machines between the two without loss of connectivity.

  I have connectivity, I ping the virtual machine. I see the virtual machine in the distributed portgroup look the vDs. I see it also in the portgroup standard (this standard switch has no adapters, so it can actually do something, do not send/receive). If all the packages must be from the portgroup distributed (as it should).

  Clues about where to look next? I checked the VM, there is only 1 NETWORK card in Windows, no hidden devices NIC so why does he want 2 trade? And how can I say this not to do?

  All ESXi hosts are the ESXI 5.1 U1.

  Thank you

  It is resolved, with the help of Technical Support. This virtual machine has a snapshot, which is why he wanted the portgroup standard and the portgroup distributed. I deleted the snapshot, and now everything's fine.

• Single network or Multi vMotion Nic card

  Here are our current design for our soon vSphere 5.1 deployment

  There has a been a good bit of internal discussions on whether to use a single 10 GB for vMotion network adapter or use two NICs 10 GB for vMotion

  Most of the debate has been around "isolate" the vMotion traffic and makes it as localized as possible

  We all have the vMotion traffic is a vlan separate, vlan127 you can see in our design

  The big question becomes exactly where will the vMotion traffic? What switches/links it really go?

  Is this correct?

  1. If we start with a vMotion nic, then once that Vmotion begins traffic will be generated from the host lose the virtual machine and the host wins the virtual machine. In this scenario, traffic will cross a BNT switch. This leads to two conclusions
     
     
     1. Traffic is never as far away as the nucleus of Juniper
        
     2. vlan127 (vMotion) didn't need to be part of the trunk, go to the heart of Juniper to the TNB
        
  2. If we go with two NICs of vMotion, then the two 10GB network adapters might be involved in vMotion. This means that vMotion traffic between two hosts ESXi could hit a switch BNT, browse the battery connections (two 10 GB between the BNTs connections) and go to another host via a network card. GB 10 it has also led to two conclusions:
     
     1. Traffic is never as far away as the nucleus of Juniper. He remains isolated on a single switch BNT or moves between BNT switches through the two stack 10 GB connections
        
     2. vlan127 (vMotion) didn't need to be part of the trunk, go to the heart of Juniper to the TNB
        

  

  vMotion traffic is just unicast IP traffic (well good, except for some bug) between ESXi configured for vMotion, vmkernel ports if all goes well insulated in a non-routed layer 2 broadcast domain (VLAN). Simple as that. Considering that the traffic will cross physically regardless of the physical NIC is configured for the respective vmkernel ports. The path between the two is obviously depends on the layer 2 switching/STP infrastructure, which in your case would be just the blade chassis switches.

  Multi-NIC vMotion essentially implements several independent streams between different IP addresses and MAC, belonging to the same host. Consider the following:

  Host A and B with vmk1, using physical vmnic1, connected to physical pSwitch1 and vmk2, using vmnic2, connected to pSwitch2. The two pSwitches directly the trunk the VLAN vMotion between them.

  If the two hosts have only vmk1 is enabled for vMotion, traffic will never pass by pSwitch1. If host B has only vmk2 enabled for vMotion or you switch uplink, it'll pass the two pSwitches.

  Now, if you enable the two interfaces for vMotion vmkernel, it is difficult to say how the hosts decide what vmk connects to that. You may find yourself going through the two pSwitches for the two water courses, or you're lucky and you end up with source and destination interfaces that reside on the same pSwitch. I don't know how ESXi decides the pairings, this article seems to suggest it's done deterministically for that in a similar configuration, the same key vmk would connect between them:

  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2011/12/14/multi-NIC-VMotion-how-does-it-work/

  Whatever the case, unless you need to other hosts on different switches, connected through your hearts only, to be able to vMotion between hosts, there no need at all to mark the vMotion VLANS on your links between chassis and Core switches.

  You see, your question of vMotion Multi-NIC is completely unrelated to this.

  If we start with a vMotion nic, then once that Vmotion begins traffic will be generated from the host lose the virtual machine and the host wins the virtual machine. In this scenario, traffic will cross a BNT switch. This leads to two conclusions

  1. Traffic is never as far away as the nucleus of Juniper
  2. vlan127 (vMotion) didn't need to be part of the trunk, go to the heart of Juniper to the TNB

  1. Yes.

  2. Yes.

  Circulation * could * crosses both switches BNT, according to what I explained above.

  If we go with two NICs of vMotion, then the two 10GB network adapters might be involved in vMotion. This means that vMotion traffic between two hosts ESXi could hit a switch BNT, browse the battery connections (two 10 GB between the BNTs connections) and go to another host via a network card. GB 10 it has also led to two conclusions:

  1. Traffic is never as far away as the nucleus of Juniper. He remains isolated on a single switch BNT or moves between BNT switches through the two stack 10 GB connections
  2. vlan127 (vMotion) didn't need to be part of the trunk, go to the heart of Juniper to the TNB

  1.Yes.

  2.Yes.

  Personally, I'd go with Multi-NIC vMotion use NIOC with soft actions in your config file.

• Can configure the server from the host with IP address

  Hello

  I want to configure a guest computer with 2 network cards, one for LAN private and one for the external LAN.

  Right now, the problem is that I don't have that 1 useable public IP I can use on the external network address.

  Which means that it's either I configure the public ip address on the NIC host or on the comment card.

  May I just know set network bridge on the guest computer and configure the external static public IP, and then click map NETWORK address of the host machine, I set up the ip address. Will this work?

  Please notify.

  shanmomo wrote:

  If you mean that by disabling TCP/IP on the host, the guest computer can access external WiFi?

  Yes, if you use a Windows host, just uncheck the TCP/IP on the bridged card.

  Or use NAT, then both machines can connect to the internet with a single IP.

• VMware in network bridge: Freezed host with WS6.5 and Windows Vista x 64 or Windows 7 x 64 host operating system

  Hello

  I have a problem with VMware Workstation 6.5 on 64-bit Windows host.

  First, I installed VMware Workstation 6.5.0 118166 on my x 64 Windows Vista SP1 host, and I had a weird problem when working with network on my host system, no matter there is a guest running or not. The problem is when I try to connect/disconnect from VPN connections or plug/unplug my network from my LAN socket cable, etc., host OS freezes suddenly with no answer to anything whatsoever, no movement of the mouse, without strikes, nothing.

  After sometimes, I installed Windows 7 Beta 7000 x 64 on my computer and have no problem with it until I installed VMware Workstation 6.5.0 118166 on it: the gel problem once again. I thought it may be a problem on this specific build of VMware, so I downloaded and installed the latest version (6.5.1 126130) on my system, but the problem persists.

  After playing with a large number of settings, I find that if I delete the service "VMware Bridge Protocol" of my network card, the problem does not happen.

  I searched the forum but I can't find anything like that, so I wonder if anyone can help me with that?

  My network card is an edge ' Realtek RTL8168B/8111 Family PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) b ' on my card mother Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3.

  Which driver version you have installed for your network (NIC) card?   This link shows a version of driver Vista/Win2008 6.216 (dated 2009/02/26) available.  The same driver should work as well for Win7.

  If the above does not resolve the problem, view the properties for the NETWORK adapter and temporarily disable all 'Task Offload"or other characteristics"discharge"to see if that helps.

• Why no dual NIC card?

  I have a laptop of 15 t - n200 old HP Pavilion of 4 week which is 8.1 Windows Pro 64-bit.

  I also have (and am downgrading) a HP Pavilion DV8 - 1000 CTO.

  I was shocked to discover that my old laptop has a dual band NETWORK card and my other does not work!  I was even more shocked to see that HP does not sell the current line of the pavilions with a dual band NETWORK card (I thought I bought one online).

  I have 2.4 G and 5G in my house (I need 5G to run the products as my Apple TV with movies stored on an external hard drive).

  I tried to get an answer from HP, nothing done, at this point.  I even opened an executive complaint (case No.: 300369376) with a nice boy named Jeff who knows little about the technical aspects of the Wi - Fi.

  Can I replace my current map of the NETWORK (from my DV8-1000) interface card in my new TouchSmart 15 t-200?  It's going to be a problem of white list?  Can I install the Intel dual ac 7260HMW card?  Or, I'll buy the NETWORK card that is appropriate, but I need 5G connectivity or else I lost $748.00 on a Clipboard of HP.

  I'm practically LIVID that I have could not buy a NIC dual band with my new Pavilion, but was able to do this with my old DV8t of 5 years.  And more that HP did not have that clear during my online purchase.

  Please advise, thank you!

  Hello:

  All I can say is try your dv8 card if it's the same form factor half mini card.

  HP didn't / don't have the BIOS whitelists certainly to your dv8, but I read a few posts from our forum members who have installed different dual-band cards (I also think that includes the new Board of Directors of Intel cards) in their series notebooks Pavilion 15/17 with no problems at all. I refer to such a post below.

  The referenced model is a display model 17 inches of the 15 series and what blew my mind was this material even has the 7260 Intel and AMD worked!

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware/HP-17-e016dx-WLAN-upgrade/m-p/3383443#M116640

  This leads me to believe that HP may have abandoned this practice.

  This is the best I have, or someone else can do to help you with your question.

• Unable to connect to the internet with the NETWORK card and Windows Millennium Edition.

  Hello

  I turned on my old computer yesterday, who has installed Windows Millennium Edition. At the back of the computer is an Ethernet port which is marked as LIEN ACT. The NIC with this port is Realtek 8139 PCI Fast Internet Adapter. I spend two hours on the Internet configuration and I did and finally got connected, but then, a few hours after, something went wrong and the Internet and the NETWORK card has stopped working! And the card has disappeared from the Device Manager, but he's still showing in network in Control Panel. I opened the computer and I reconnected it to the slot, but it did not help. At the back of the computer next to this port are two LEDs - green indicates the power that lights up when I plug the Internet cable and the other orange indicates actual connection. But now these two LEDs are not indicating something even when I plugged in the cable to the Internet, which comes from my router. In the computer a Dial Up connection PCI is installed too, but I disabled it. I used Dial-Up in 2002. So, I need help.
  But I know that I can connect with this Ethernet card to the Internet because it worked for 3 hours, I've loaded the pages and downloaded programs.
  Please don't point, should I upgrade Windows!
  Thank you.

  Hi friend,
  You can try a Bing search on connectivity to Win ME, I don't know there are still a few old sites that are not taken down you will find a few FAQ on.
  I saw not a ME machine in too many years to count!
  Good luck on your adventure.

• Problems with the NIC Intel N 7260

  I have a 15 HP Pavilion age of 4 week t-n200 laptop is Windows 8.1.64. I'm having a problem with the NIC Intel N 7260. All of a sudden the laptop will show it does not connect to all networks. It will show a yellow triangle on it and will not connect to any network adapters. I tried to "roll back driver" and who worked initially, but now he has started with the yellow triangle and lost functionality. Now "roll back driver" is grayed out and is not an option. However, there is no update available. It currently shows pilot 16.10.0.5. It displays the code 43 under Details of the device. Other computers home connect well to the internet currently.  Please advise, thank you!

  Hi junebug07110,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I'm sorry to hear that you have a problem with your Intel N 7260 network card.  I'll try my best to help you solve this problem!

  I suggest you reinstall the driver for Driver Intel 7260/3160 Wireless LAN.  Follow the procedure in this document using Recovery Manager to restore the software and drivers (Windows 8) restore the driver.  The steps are the same for Windows 8.1.

  I hope this information is useful. Please let me know how it goes, I'll wait for your answer.

  Thank you and have a great day!

• Need a driver for my wireless nic card

  I have a wireless nic card and cannot find a driver for windows 8. I don't know what brand or any info about this card because windows XP always loading a driver. How will I know what it is if I can find a driver for the card?

  Hey Rodney,

  Here's a suggestion to identify your wireless NETWORK card:

  1. [Win] + X
  2. Device Manager
  3. Right click on your NETWORK adapter
  4. Select Properties
  5. Go to the Details tab
  6. Select the hardware ID in the drop-down list of the property
  7. Right-click on the 2nd line of the value box
  8. Select copy
  9. Open your favorite Web browser
  10. In the search box, paste the value copied to the #8
  11. ...

  Once you have identified the manufacturer of your NETWORK card & model see the manufacturer's Web site to try to find the appropriate driver. Alternatively, you can also search on http://catalog.update.microsoft.com.

  If Windows 8 cannot find a driver for your NETWORK card automatically, I guess it's because it's an old. So I expect that you will not find a driver for Windows 8. If you find a Windows Vista or Windows 7 driver, they should work. Also, during the research for a driver to pay attention to the version (x 32 / x 64) as it should match your version of Windows 8.

  Hope this helps at & answers your question. If you have a problem with this answer please you with:

  • Version of Windows 8 (x 32 / x 64)
  • Manufacturer of PC & model
  • NIC (#8 above value) hardware ID

  and I'll see what I can do when I have a moment.

  See you soon

• vMotion (without shared storage) between two hosts with different vSwitches standard s VM

  I can VM vMotion (without shared storage) between two hosts with different vSwitches standard? The vSwitches on these two hosts have different names and number of NIC, but have the same name of portgroup.

  
  Thank you.

  Yes, you can in a Storage VMotion to one Esxi to another with no shared storage...

  It is important the portgroup bears the same name... This is the reference for the VM...
