How many cards to the Service Console

I hope that my question is not too noob like... Can someone tell me what the rule of thumb is for network cards how much should I use for the service console? Thanks in advance.

I use two and set an active and a standby adapter. In addition, if you can balance between edge and PCI

  • public network for virtual machines, private storage and the service console?

    Hello

    So far I had a pretty small facility with 2 servers with 4 physical network adapters each running ESX 3.5, a small box of EqualLogic SAN to shared storage and a few virtual machines on our network of regular reinforcement, routed, not on a private.   The network config was really simple.  I just put everything on real IP addresses on our network of building.

    Now I want to move the SAN and the traffic on a private service console network, but I don't know how to do this.

    Right now I use 2 NETWORK cards on each server:

    vmnic0 is configured on vSwitch0 and has the network of the VM on it that all my use of VMS to talk to the outside world, and it also has the Service Console that uses Virtual Center and I use ssh to it.

    vmnic1 is configured on vSwitch1 and a VMKernel Port and also a Service Console Port for iSCSI Software to talk to my SAN.  (never been clear on why both are needed to talk to the SAN, but doctors say they are)

    My plan is to set up a vSwitch2 and bind it to vmnic2 and implemented a VMKernel Port and the Service Console Port for software iSCSI on the 10.x.x.x network, set up my new (larger) SAN box on the 10.x.x.x network and simply use Storage vMotion to move virtual machines to the new storage space.  As soon as I did this, I would like to not use the Service Console on vSwitch2 and not a Console Service at all on vSwitch0.  Is it possible to delete the one on vSwitch0 and just use a new vSwitch2 for Virtual Center and ssh access?

    So my proposed configuration would be:

    vSwitch0: VM network only, used by the VM guests for oriented public access network, no construction of Network Service Console, linked to vmnic0

    vSwitch1: superfluous once I do storage vMotion of everything on my old SAN, will eventually remove and pair vmnic 1 with vmnic0, linked to vmnic1

    vSwitch2: VMKernel and Service Console on the network 10.x.x.x, used to access the new SAN, used by Virtual Center to access the ESX, used to SSH in to ESX on private network, associated vmnic2

    If it works?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    VMkernel ports cannot live on the same subnet. So if you have 3 vmkernel ports say: vMotion, iSCSI and NFS. You really need 3 subnets. 1 for each vmkernel port.

    Otherwise how does he know all send properly?

    How many pictures of the computer chip camera

    So I can insert chip camera in my electronic photo frame.

    If you read the manual of the device, it should give you more options, like "thumb drives". Also, the manual should specify the size in pixels, or MB size and explain how to transfer the photos.

    In a generic sense, simply file copy photos to the card. Here is a guide.

  • Adding an IP to the service console more

    Hi team,

    We have a race ESX 4 and the service console has already been configured with an IP address, I would like to add an IP more (another beach) so this service console must be accessible by both intellectual property.

    Now my console IP service is 172.18.111.155 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, GW - 172.18.111.1

    Now, I need to add another IP 172.18.105.45 Beach IE with a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0. GW - 172.18.104.1

    Could you please let me know if possible, if so how can be done.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Next, you create just a new vSwitch with your 2nd service console using the dedicated bear. Marking will be on the side of the physical switch.

    If this host is in a HA Cluster, you may receive warnings about redundancy.

    Seeing that it is your 2nd service console, you can remove these messages. Watch http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1004700

    Dell PE2950 with 6x2TB Sata

    Local write on the nas performance is around 230 Mbps. tested by running these two commands in two different sessions of PuTTY:

    zpool iostat tank 5
    
    dd if=/dev/zero of=sometestfile2 bs=1024000 count=5000
    
    

    Zpool iostat output:

    Switch dedicated for storage area network:

    Cisco 3750 with mtu 9000 system

    Nexenta hosts both ESXi are connected to the switch with network cards with Jumbo enabled frames.

    I created an NFS share and mounted as a data store in ESXi. When I run the command "dd" even the service console, I get this:

    To test another way, I created a vmnic in the vSwitch dedicated for nfs and then attached this nic to a guest vm under Debian. I mounted the same nfs share and run the same command "dd":

  • Identify the process of the virtual machine in the Service Console

    Maybe it's a little challenging, but I need to "hang" a VM intentionally for purposes of Compliance\Qualification.  I'm trying to understand the best way to do this and my colleague suggested to connect to the service console, identify the process virtual machine running and terminate, so suspend the virtual machine.  The problem is, I'm not sure how to proceed.  Could someone point me to the light?

    Thank you very much.

    Steve

    You must know the name of the vmx file (usually it is the first name of the virtual machine).

    Then, connect SSH (or console) to your ESX and run the following command

    PS auxfww | grep 'VMXname '.

    At this point, you can locate the correct PID of the virtual machine. The first number to appear in the output is your PID.

    The PID can be used to complete the process by issuing the command kill-9 PID.

  • Adding user to access the Service Console via Putty

    Hi guys

    I'm quite new to the world of Vmware, so please exuse me if I look trivial.

    Basically, I want to create a user in order to access the service through PuTTY console.

    I tried with the root , but it says access denied. I have read the forums and I know that I need to create a new user, and then get to KNOW, but could you please tell me how and where I can create this user as I can only find Permissions tab for ESX1 (our esx server). What I need to for this to the service console physially enter the sever room or can I create this user using one of my domain accounts for VIC 2.5

    If I can do or could you please guide me further

    Also is it possible to use the service of the VIC, if so how.

    I would be very grateful if you could give me an answer for what I send the vizionsupport logs from the console using some of the linux (vmware controls), I think that I can do that by logging in on the ESX Server service console.

    Concerning

    Rucky

    To add a newuser you would do the following in the console of the ESX host.

    useradd username (where username is the name of the user account)

    passwd username (This will prompt you for the password for the user)

    Now this user must be able to connect via SSH

    You can then run su - (you will be prompted for the root password) that will put you in a root shell

    Also, you could edit/etc/ssh/sshd_config (using vi or nano)

    and change the following line

    Of

    PermitRootLogin not

    TO

    PermitRootLogin Yes

    type of service sshd restart (you should do this in the console) this will then allow you to ssh to the system as root.

  • Change the IP address of the Service Console

    Hi, when I try to change the IP address and the address of the gateway to the Service Console NIC on the console, I always get this message:

    !!! WARNING!

    Loss of connectivity network may occur if the parameters not valid in

    Add, remove, Portgroup or IP operations.

    and nothing is changed. How is it possible to change the IP address of vswif?

    I try with the command "esxcfg-vswif!

    Thank you

    Hello

    There are two ways of CLI to chang the IP address of the service console.

    Either remove the current vswif0 and recreate it using esxcfg-swif.

    But as you must change the ip address of the service console, you can try e under method, change the entries in the file.

    for the ip address and the mask of the service console, you can change the entries in the file below.

    / etc/sysconfig/network-scipts/ifcfg-vswif0

    and for the gateway, host name using the file below

    sysconfig

    for the dns entries

    /etc/resolv.conf

    After all the changes, try to network service.

    service network restart

    Let me know if you need more information.
