How to leave the virtual switch as a physical switch law in esxi 5?

Hello.

I have Esxi5 installed on a server with 3 physical network card (they are supported and found in Esxi) on that Esxi I installed a virtual-SIN (NexentaStor) machine. The first network adapter is connected to the router, the second network adapter is connected to a PC. DHCP is enabled on the router. Normally on a real switch all connected pc should automatically get an IP address from the server (router), or must be able to communicate when they have a fixed IP address. This does not work on the virtual switch. One of my virtual pc Gets an IP address in a range of false, and I can't connect a real PC at this switch

2 questions:

  1. Should what settings I use in esxi5 to get virtual pc the good IP address?
  2. Is it possible to connect a real pc directly to the second NIC in my esxi server and use the virtual switch as a true switch? In this way, I can use the Gigabit Nic for a fast and direct connection to the virtual NAS and can connect to the internet via the switch?

ESXi does not NAT unlike VMware Server or Workstation/Fusion.

  • How to access the virtual machines to different physical network?

    Hello

    I'm new to ESXi, can someone tell me how can I access virtual machines on the physical network existing in case I use different IP classes? Physics of the network by using the class C IPs and I assigned IPs to virtual machines of class A? If it is possible, then, what are the steps?

    In fact, I installed exchange 2010 VMs and also want to access the email accounts of physical network.

    Thank you.

    You mean there's no way in ESXi to configure the way so we can access the virtual machines to physical network? without third-party applications.

    Because it is impossible for the various networks IP connect without a router, you must have such a device. There is really no difference in that in a pure virtual or physical environment.

    You might think the ESXi host as a box with one or more servers (virtual) inside and one or more layer (virtual) two switches, just like a small server room. This means you will need to provide the same type of connectivity that you would have to a new server room with machines configured with addresses in a different IP network range.

    Hello

    You can declare the event directly click handler MXML online, you don't need the initfunc() on creationComplete:

    You need not switch in handleEvent, a line will do everything:

    TextBox.Text += button .label (event.currentTarget);

    The only advantage I see declaring all these components button in MXML, you can visually position the keys by using Design view in Flex Builder.

  • How to identify the virtual copies (in my records) that have already been deleted a collection

    Hello!

    I keep looking for an answer to this anywhere on the web and 3 books, but can't find the answer...

    How to identify the virtual copies (in my records) that have already been deleted a collection?

    Here's the workflow, and where I'm stuck.

    1. I chose a picture and put it in a collection.

    2. I did a whole bunch of virtual photos in the collection copies that I tried different modifications.

    3. after and during a lot of changes, I have a lot of virtual copies removed from my collection because I decided against the changes after doing some comparisons.

    4. when I went the folders to select my next picture to work away and so to add to the collection, I discovered that each of my virtual copies was in the original folder, even if I had deleted from my collection.

    5. I really don't want these virtual copies deleted to be in my home folder.  They were virtual copies of trial and error and I wanted them to really just be thrown out.

    6. how to identify these virtual copies removed-from-the-collection in my folder?  File names all look the same, and besides, I want to be absolutely certain that I have selected the right ones.  Some of the changes were very minor and would be difficult to see without laboriously go through them one by one.

    Thank you very much!!

    Anne

    No easy answer on fixing the mess other than an individual inspection of the virtual copy can't watching the Images/Edit history to determine which ones that you no longer need.

    But to help prevent the problem in the future: when you are working from a collection, you must use ALT + return back to remove a copy of Photo or virtual catalog. With just the key DELETE or BACKSPACE only deletes the photo from the collection.

  • How to mount the virtual folder of the ILO on ESXi 5.5

    Hi all

    Anyone know how to mount the virtual folder of the ILO on ESXi5.5?

    What is the command that I should do the editing?

    Usually in Linux or Windows, if you clicked on the virtual drivers on HP iLO web interface, you will see the mounted folder automatically in the operating system.

    But I don't know how it would be or how to have the same functionality in ESXi host. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for your time and help.

    When you talk about Oracle.exe you seem not to take into account

    -L'executable memory will too

    -Oracle is a multithreaded Windows process, so memory consumption goes also to the different client that are connected to the database session.

    This means, you consume approximately 3G of memory beyond the LMS, and it is quite reasonable.

    So if you want to make sure that oracle consumes less than 8G memory, you have two options

    -reduce the SGA

    You spend more than 50 percent of the memory of the SGA. Oracle has never recommended that

    You might be willing to v$ sga_target_advisor allows you to see the impact of this change.

    You may also set your SQL queries

    -the second option you have is to stop Oracle.

    For sure it will use less than 8G in this solution.

  • Changing the virtual switch name

    Hello

    Is it possible to change the name of the virtual switch, for example, when you create a new vSwitch in VI Center it starts with vSwitch1 can change you it to vSwitch2 providing their isn't another switch with this name?

    Thank you

    you change the esx.conf you need to reboot (be sure and create a backup of esx.conf... /etc/vmware/esx.conf_backup /etc/vmware/esx.conf cp)

  • How to set up the virtual switch vmnet0 so in fact, it behaves like a switch.

    Hello

    I have a problem:

    My configuration is:

    host of CentOS 5.3 using vmware server 1.06

    3 clients (all centos 5.3 with vmware tools) installed

    web01

    DB01

    backup01

    The three guests have public ip and use the bridged (vmnet0) network

    The backup01 backups web01 and db01 every night.

    My supplier can see that traffic on its poort switch that connects the host to the internet, and he wants to charge me for it.

    The three guests (and host) are all on the same subnet. It is the local subnet traffic that does not use a gateway.

    It seems the traffic between hosts is diffuse on my physical eth0 on the host. When I have some files between guests, it also appears on the page from my supplier of PCs followed AY. (Just likecommunication between 2 physical host computers are on the local network when you use a hub instead of a switch)

    I thought it was probably the only way to vmware would work when using network bridges. Because the host doesn't know anyting on the clients ip numbers.

    But when googleling abot this I found several docuemtents (for vmware server 2) telling me that vmnet0 is actually a sort of virtual switch.

    If this is true this virtualswitch should know other mac adressess clients (arp who a..) and she must stop the internal traffic to leave the material.

    Is not what is happinging. It looks more like a virtualhub instead of virtual switch.

    So I was wondering if there are ways to configure the vmnet0 somehow. I was hot, but I can't find anything about it.

    I don't want to change the bridged mode or coz internal use of the intellectual property of the plan is to spit the separate web01 and db01 to vmware guests in the furture.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    My idea was to put an additional physical switch between me and my switch to suppliers, but that seems to be a ridiculous solution.

    Any help is welcome.

    Concerning

    Hans Groot

    VMserver don't use virtual switches: it uses virtual hubs. They are mislabeled - probably because "virtual switch" sounds more sexy than "virtual hub".

    You can't change their behavior to be more like a switch

  • Assign comments NIC to the virtual switch / Portgroup

    All,

    After many search on these forums and the API reference guide, I can not find a solution to the following problem, we are going to have...

    We use the Perl SDK to clone existing Virtual Machines and create new virtual switches and exchanges. However, what we can't understand is how to assign a NETWORK adapter on a virtual computer for the new virtual switch / Portgroup.

    We would like to be able to create two new virtual machines and a new switch and add the two virtual machines to the portgroup on the switch so that they can communicate. At a later stage, we also want to be able to add a physical NETWORK card from the host to the new switch.

    The making through the vSphere Client is quite simple, but we need to automate the task.

    No indication on what we should do is appreciated. If it's easier to do using other APIs (such as Web Services), we are open to try this instead...

    Thanks in advance,

    Andy

  • Network management - only the virtual switch

    I installed latest ESXi 4 Update 1, which is available. I m running Active Directory LAB on several virtual servers Windows 2008 R2 and one of them acts as a router with RRAS role. I m creating 3 different subnets and one of them must be only virtual - no material connection NIC in the interface of ESXi´s it seems that I can't do this, while creating the new switch virtual it forces me to select NIC it becomes a problem, because if I use a virtual switch for Windows 2008 router has the physical NETWORK map It will come to mean that the cable is disconnected. And I need a virtual connection between virtual servers only, that they will be the single subnet between them and communication to physical clients will go through this router´s of Windows 2008 NIC that is not supposed to be physical.

    How can I archive with ESXi?

    You can create a vSwitch without attached Teddy.

    Do not select any NIC, or delete them after the creation of the vSwitch.

  • The virtual switch configuration

    Hello

    I configured Vswitch on ESX4.0 connected with a teddy bear.

    There are Cisco catalyst 4503 L3 switch configured with several VLANS at the other end. I have configured the switch port trunk with dot1q encap mode that ends on the ESX4.0 server. Service console is configured with IP default VLAN, which is accessible from the other VIRTUAL networks. One of the virtual machine with Win2k3 OS is installed, but after configuration, I am not able to ping default gateway of VLAN respective or any other property intellectual VLAN.

    Can anyone guide me where I go wrong and how to correct the problem?

    Set the Group of ports to the VLAN specific you want the virtual machine to be on.  Do not put any VLAN ID in the virtual machine, just plug it into the port group.  If you have other virtual machines, or other on this virtual machine network interface cards that need to connect to the other VLAN create other Port groups for each VIRTUAL local area network required.

  • change the virtual switch to the virtual hub

    Hallo,

    all the networkadapters are virtual switch. How can I change to a hub? I'd like to sniff my networktraffic with a guestsystem, but that only works with a hub. Or can I change some settings to do this with esxi?

    You can set it on a vSwitch or Portgropup

    Click Edit, switch or PG-> Security-> Promiscous Mode-> accept

    Take a look at the Config Guide http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_3_server_config.pdf

    If you also want traffic on your pSwitch, you create a mirror on your pSwitch port.

  • Security on the Virtual Switch

    We have a web layer and a layer of app in our environment.

    An ESX host would have a VLAN to the web layer connection and another with the application layer. Well separated and in line with our security strategy.

    We have a separate vlan for backup. Layer Web and application can share the same network card on the vlan for backup.

    Problem is that it can communicate with each other through the EPS backup because he won't have the physical switch when in the same ESX host. He speaks just internally within ESX.

    Does anyone know if there is a setting in ESX forcing traffic to go to physical swith before talking to another virtual machine on the same host?

    Hello

    See http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/virtualization-pro/how-traffic-routes-between-vms-on-esx-hosts/ for how routes traffic. If the virtual machines share the same portgroup on the same vSwitch traffic is not routed outside ESX otherwise it's almost always. Check out the blog for more details.
