How to use the second network card physical to Virtual Machine?

Two queries. We strive to VMware Server 2

How to increase the speed of the network of the guest operating system.  Currently it shows 10 Mbps.

If we have a second physical network adapter, is it possible to use it for the guest OS. ?

We are noobs, please give links to this info or explain in steps.

  • 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).

  • Impossible to use the second NETWORK card on VM

    I'm under VMware Workstation9 and I'll put up a configuration 5.1 ESXi

    VM1 - Windows 2008 - acting as a DC and a NFS storage
    VM2 - ESXi 5.1

    I added a second NIC on VM1 and VM2 to IP storage but I can't PING vice versa

    IP address:
    VM1 - 198.168.150.10 SM: 255.255.255.0
    VM2 - 192.168.150.11 SM: 255.255.255.0

    VMnet2 is used for the management, no problem with this vmnet3 is used for storage traffic but no communication possible

    Any Suggestion?

    Check the response of jmattson to Re: operating system of the virtual machine attempted to activate the adapter Ethernet0 promiscuous mode. This is not allowed for security reasons. solves the problem.

  • How to use the second server virtual router?

    Hey guys. I have a basic configuration to the House. ISP-ISP-router and my host pc. I want to be able to separate my virtual network on my home network. I have a second cisco router (WRT320N). I also have two network cards integrated with my motherboard. Now, is it possible to use the secondary router for my virtual server for my test environment?

    So far, I connected the external port of the ISP router on the internal port of the router Cisco-for the basic configuration. I guess, I need to connect the secondary of my host network adapter to the router cisco-but then, I do not know how to configure vmware to use secondary nic as NIC default.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Right, I found the solution, but I thought I'd share it for people who do not know.

    Router installation as follows:

    ISP-router to Host (NIC_1) to the host (192.168.0.1) connectivity

    ISP-router-Cisco-router (Internet Port) (192.168.1.1)

    MUST be on different subnets

    Cisco-router to Host (NIC_2) (in the NIC_2 adapter properties, all checkboxes except VMware Bridge Protocol MUST be deselected HOST, so please use NIC_2)

    VMware, Virtual Network Editor, full of connection Type must be selected as MANUAL that points to your NIC_2

    AND

    the parameters of the Virtual Machine to the network card, ' Custom: specific Virtual Network ' should point to NIC_2.

    This will allow you to use your second NETWORK card for your virtual machine (but the MAC address will be assigned by VMware... does cause no problem at all)

    Your virtual, in my case, Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system, will be no connectivity until you assign a static TCP/IPv4 address.

    This will isolate your virtual network on your home network.

    I hope this helps the other.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to use the second HARD drive of Satellite A210 - BP1 for mirroring

    Satellite A210-BP1 came with 2 HDD (160 GB).
    Now, I want to use the second hard drive mirrored the first, one that has Vista installed.
    This should be done without supervision and in real time - as a RAID 1.

    How can I do this?
    I also have Vista professional available and I would be willing to use 3rd party software as well.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Hi Jan

    I doubt that this is possible
    Why? The point is that you need to use two hard drives in mirroring, RAID striping, mode etc technology
    Satellite A210 can't RAID. It s only a SATA controller without RAID capacity!

    Therefore, the final answer is; NO, it is not possible to use mirroring

  • IMAQdx mind traffic on the second NETWORK card

    Hello!

    My system:

    -Labview 2011 SP1 with NO Vision and IMAQdx

    -Windows 7-32 bit

    -2 NICs (Intel Pro 1000)

    On a NIC (subnet: 192.168.0.x - Intel pro driver) a sick Ranger is connected. Store it works with Studio of sick Ranger or the Labview Toolkit Ranger.

    On the second NIC (subnet: 192.168.1.x - Realtek dreiver) a Vision of Basler GigE camera is connected. It works with the grun80 pylon Viewer and IMAQdx GigE functions in Labview.

    If I start the acquisition of two cameras using the Studio store and Basler pylon Viewer (no Labview) both cameras acquire images at high speed without any interference.

    If I use Studio Ranger or LV-store Toolkit for the Acquisition of store it works selection UNTIL I have start a Labview VI containing the screw IMAQdx to acquire images of the Basler camera. As soon as the VI performs stops Acquisition of Ranger and Ranger loses the connection.

    I guess the driver IMAQdx is somehow interfering with two network cards.

    Suggestions how to exclude one of the NICs of IMAQdx driver or can someone tell me what is happening on the network driver layer when loading of IMAQdx?

    The purpose of my request to LV, is that both cameras can be used at the same time!

    Thank you!

  • Cable connection part for good - once I started using the wireless NETWORK card!

    Hello

    I went although all people in support on this issue, but now I have no other choice than to ask all you people here!

    That is the problem. I have two computers with multiple network cards. One is a laptop computer with wireless Draft-N support and 10/100/1000 NIC onboard. The other is a desktop computer with an ASUS Wifi b/g edge and also dual GigE ports nVidia graphics card.

    Whenever I try to use network wired for internet or local network even cards use, it died on me. It is impossible to obtain an IP address from the router to use and is unable to communicate with anyone at all. Not even with my local network or even directly to the router (192.168.1.1). If I turn on the wireless card, it connects and everything is groovy (except that I lost my GigE connection to my local network, which is most important!).

    I havegone through the standard fare of cyclic power to the router and cable modem, reboot of my machines, etc. all the normal things, we are required to do.

    After some hassles with the support of Linksys to get them to send me a new WRT330N, I finally received a new WRT310N and it shows exactly the same problem! Wireless connections work fine, but as soon as I disable the WiFi and wired go, Windows XP gives me nothing else than a message "limited or no connectivity" and let me out of the network.

    This leads me to think it's some sort of network problem due to multiple MACs on the same host name. Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

    Thank you!

    Disable the firewall on the computer and then also try to connect the computer to the modem and check if the computer is able to connect.

  • Re: How to use the second hard drive in Satellite A300?

    I got a second hand Satellite A300 which was to be thrown out due to a defective DVD.
    I fixed the DVD and have a perfect system.

    On opening the box, I discovered that there 2 x 250 GB hard drives. I checked CMOS and show the 2 drives. However, Vista displays only the a drive.

    Excuse my ignorance, but how do I access to the second drive?

    I have Satellite A300 with two hard drives and each HARD drive has another operating system. Both hard drives are recognized correctly.
    I put t know what the problem is here, but the two hard disks should be recognized automatically.
    Try to set the BIOS to default settings and check again.
    Try to start the check and install Microsoft bootable disk if the two hard disks are displayed in Setup.

    I just hope that there is not a hardware problem.
