• How to add the second network card?

  A server (VMware ESX 4.1) works well with a network card. Since I want to add a virtual switch, I need to add another network card. So I inserted into a PCI slot and reboot ESX. But the ESX does not. I need to reinstall ESX to let him find this network adapter?

  Thank you very much for the help.

  The added network adapter is Gigabit PCI Desktop Adapter, D-Link DGE-528 t.

  I tried several model D-link years... None of this can work.

  Use a broadcom or Intel card (and listed in HCL).

• Add the second NETWORK card to vSwitch

  I'm working on trying to add to install a second NIC physical to the vswitch which is installed by default when ESXi. I use the code below, but when I run it, it disconnects in fact the main physical network card and of course, I then lose connection. I tried different varients of this and even finished by adding a port of vmk, which I didn't do. I just want to add the second network card as a standby card network.

  #Add second NIC to the virtual switch
  $nic = Get-VirtualSwitch -VMHost $currentHost -Name "vSwitch0"
  Set-VirtualSwitch -VirtualSwitch $nic -Nic vmnic1
  

  The cmdlet Set-VirtualSwitch accepts a string array as the value of the parameter - Nic. So you should be able to:

  #Add second NIC to the virtual switch
  $nic = Get-VirtualSwitch -VMHost $currentHost -Name "vSwitch0"
  Set-VirtualSwitch -VirtualSwitch $nic -Nic vmnic1,vmnic2

• Call "HostNetworkSystem.UpdateVirtualSwitch" for the error of the object when you attempt to add the second NETWORK card

  Hi there - first post here, so please be nice :-).

  We are just trying to place an ESX4.1 own deployment in our environment (no previous installation of VMWare) to our main office, using Dell M610 and blades blades M600 to what would become our DR - two sites site hosting VMS on Equallogic iSCSI SAN disks.

  I configured 4 of our blade M610 with ESX 4.1 successfully and they work very well.  These blades have double NIC onboard, and after the initial installation of ESX, I could go to the virtual switch and add in the second NIC like vmnic1 (because one had already been detected during installation).  This fine workd for 4 guests on the M610 blades.  However, I came today to make my first installation on one of the old M600 blades and I encountered a problem.

  Installation went without any problems and I was able to add the host in my vCenter.  I can change all the settings without problem (created the Port of VMKernal for my connection to SAN iSCSI etc, but as soon as I try to add in the second NETWORK card, he paused for a while, and then I get the following error message:)

  Call 'HostNetworkSystem.UpdateVirtualSwitch' of object 'networkSystem-56 "on vCenter Server"VCEN01." ournetwork.local"failed. (network name has been changed for post).  When this happens, it locks up again for several seconds, and when the system returns, I can no longer communicate with the ESX host (Observer of events in vCenter watch 'host is not responding' and I find that I can not ping the host unless I reboot it.)

  If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it that I don't want to proceed down to the line with our Installer if theres an underlying issue and I need to redo everything.

  Concerning

  EFIN.

  Do you get the same error when you try to add the network adapter by using the command line?

  1. esxcfg-vSwitch - L vmnic1 vSwitch0

• CMS OVA, adding the second NETWORK card breaks the first NETWORK card

  I'm testing CMS 2.0 and when I try to add a second NETWORK card in VMware, he immediately interrupts the first network card.  As soon as the loading of the image, the first NIC fails.  Even if I disable iface b, it will allow all traffic where iface one.  If I stop the application, remove the NETWORK adapter and run it back again, it works very well to the iface one.

  I want to test the public face with box feature, but I can't if I can't add a second network card.

  How do you add the second network interface and interface you add?

  You should add 'VMXNET3' type if you use VMWare, if you chose something else, you invalidate your license, see section 3.3 of the virtualized CMS 2.0 Setup Guide for deployments.

• Adding a second NETWORK card on the server HP Proliant ML 350 G5

  I have a new HP Proliant with a guest of Windows 2008.  HP came with two network cards on the MB.  I need double-home this box on both networks, at least for a while, and this server will be the only road between subnets.  It's just a stand-alone installation inset.

  I looked in the settings of the BIOS on the HP and it's a little confusing, but I'm sure that the second network card is active (it lights up when it is plugged).  When I try to add a NETWORK adapter to the configuration of the host, it is as if the second NETWORK card is not present.

  My question is what is the best way to add this second NETWORK adapter and how do I do that?

  I'll need access to the host of the VI Client on both networks - at least for a while.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  If you go to configuration-card network in the vSphere client is the 2nd NETWORK card that there are listed?  If ESXi is able to recognize the NETWORK adapter (or other people that you add) they should appear in this list without any config changes and be ready for use.

  What kind of networks are you fill?   If one is considered not secure you could be better not add a management on this network port and prefer to have access via a VPN VM or a secure hosted VM / dual.

• How to access my other network cards?

  Hey guys, I just got in the VM game a month ago.  We bought the essential kit of vpshere (of base) and have an esxi host 4.1 running on a dell with 4 NICs r510.  The hypervisor lists all 4 cards.  My problem is that I am trying to assign a guest virtualized to nic1 (nic0 is in use), but I can't seem to find anywhere why I can do this.  I see that all the network adapters in comments use the vm network, but I can't seem to be able to configure the vm network or even create a different network so they can I have to use another network card.

  I tried to create a host, edit configuration-> hardware-> add-> ethernet card, create hit, but they are just virtual and I guess are all on the same network adapter.  This could begin to be a problem as I'd add more comments.  They cannot all be riding on a single card.  My liscense does not vnetwork distributed switch (in fact no version CEPT that last, more expensive).  How could I do this?

  You need not Ent + or dvSwitches to do what you want.

  You just need to add your physical network cards to the vSwitch (es) to which your virtual machines are connected.

  Here is a good article:

• How to add a new network adapter in vmware

  Hello

  I installed vmware server 2.0 on ubuntu which is installed on a map of mother xeon quad core & intell. the motherboard has 2 network cards and is recognized by ubuntu.

  vware installation went well, but I see that it has not recognized the 2 nd network adapter.

  can someone let me know how I can add this adapter for vmware server.

  The first time you have run the script vmware - config.pl, did you just create a single bridged network? You have been asked what host device to use (eth0, eth1, etc.). To fill another physical NETWORK card, you just need to re - run vmware - config.pl, although it will take for all the virtual machines to be stopped / suspended and then tell him you want an another bridged NIC and enter the name of the physical device. Then in the comments, you can choose which NIC to use or add another virtual NETWORK card via the option "Add Hardware" and bind it to the another card bridged.

• Is it possible to add the second graphics card for this model Y510p?

  I've been doing mixed responses from customer service chat lenovo so I'm posting my question here. Recently, I bought this laptop. It comes with a single graphics card. I heard this model has ultrabay and you add another graphics card. My question is - is it true that you can add a second graphics card in this system by using ultrabay? Please let me know. I'm confused if SLI and ultrabay means the same thing. If this is the case, then this system is not sli. I appreciate your help.

  http://shop.Lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/LENOVO/y-series/y510p/?SB=:000001 C 9: 00011E0A:

  Also, don't forget to find the extra $20 or sometimes $50 discount code for the Lenovo y510p and apply it to the Fund. The time I bought my laptop I used the code USPY5168320, you will find a similar code if this does not work.

• How can I determine what NETWORK card for vShere driver?

  I want download the driver of NETWORK card adapter: Marvell 8001 that is integrated on the motherboard for vShere.

  I checked that the kernel has been 2.6.18 - 128.ESX. But, I don't know what Linux is, for example, Red Hat or anything else. So, how do I determine what NETWORK card for her driver and where I ca nget it?

  Thank you!

• Lab Manager V3 and a second NETWORK card

  Hello everyone. I have a question I hope you can help me with. In Lab Manager V2.5, we were having a problem with fencing. Our fencing required 5 IPs and our customer wants about 100 fences. As we seek to do not use more than 2 C all classes of IP addresses, we hoped an alternative solution.

  Our current idea is to try to use the second NETWORK card on a separate internal switch. This option would use the internal IP for 4 IP addresses and an external IP address. Although this plan seems feasible in theory, the V2.5 Lab Manager did not work to achieve this end. Thus, we are now experiencing V3. Does anyone know if this plan of attack is feasible? If so, what measures are necessary to achieve this goal? The second NETWORK card will be detected automatically by the Lab Manager, or is there a configuration I do not see any there to achieve?

  In short, I need to know if a second NETWORK adapter is feasible with V3 before submitting a request for a second switch. Please let me know if anyone has any info on this subject. Thank you kindly.

  LM 3.0 allows to use up to 4 network LM by VM Interfaces.  A Network Interface is the combination of the virtual NETWORK card and a physical interface LM LM 3.0, or virtual network.  Networking has been considerably strengthened LM 2.5 days.  Instead of a comprehensive physical network, you can have several (limit)? Physical networks that map to vSwitches in your vCenter/ESX host environment.  The Act of creating a physical network of LM 3.0 creates a group of ports on the vSwitch that you you mapped physical network LM.  Each physical network can accommodate up to worth (1024) 4 c of static IP addresses.  If you want that your different physical networks LM using different physical network interface cards on the ESX host, map to different vCenter/ESX vSwitches.

  Fencing is also managed a little more dynamically without the limitations in number of closed configs that were in previous versions.  All virtual machines in a fenced config needs to be hosted on the same ESX host however.

  Oh, virtual networks are a separate issue, which allow the installation of a local network visible only to virtual machines in a configuration.

  I hope this helps.

• How to add a second IP address to the external network

  I have two NETWORK cards that I use for virtual machines (an internal and an external), and virtual switches have been created for each of them. My ESX Server already has an internal IP address, how do I add a second external IP address without deleting the first? I try to create a new switch, but the menu of default gateway DNS pointing to the first switch, and I don't want to remove this info.

  Network interface cards for the use of Virtual Machines require no IP addresses, they relay the traffic using the IP address found in the virtual machine. You try to add an additional service console to be accessible through this external connection? Announcement may be a print screen of your configuration might help to understand what you do and what you hope to accomplish.
