• 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?

• 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

• 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.

• 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!

  Disable the identification of cams network solve the problem?  See also How to disable IMAQdx sending periodically a Ping 'discovery'.

• 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.

• 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).

• 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.

• 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 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.

• Configure the 2 network cards in a VM for MPLS LAN and the other for internet

  Dear all,

  I have a HP Server with 2 NIC cards. ESXI 4.0 is installed and 3 VM was created in it. Initially that a NIC card was connected to the path of the LAN MPLS switch and another card NETWORK was not connected to the internet switch port.

  Each VM only had a single NIC in it. So I assigned MPLS IP LAN to ESXI host and VM 3 and everything worked perfectly.

  Now, I wanted to have the internet connection for my 3 VM. So I plugged the 2nd NETWORK card with internet port and added the second NETWORK card to the ESXi using the Vsphere client - & gt; configuration - & gt; Networking option. Now the two nic cards are ponting to the network of the virtual computer.

  I've added 2 network card to all 3 VM and assigned to the internet IP addresses to all of these NICs. order of MPLS and internet work at the same time, I removed the card NIC MPLS entry door and manually routed through route add command. After this MPLS and internet worked well in 1 VM.

  I tried the same thing in 2nd and 3rd VM but it failed. whenever I have add 2nd network card in the virtual machine, the first of this virtual machine network adapter does not work.

  I'm after the right approach? Help, please...

  Kind regards

  Ashok doriane

  If I understand correctly your installation, you connected the physical NIC to two different IP networks.  Then you connected these cards in the same switch-v on the server.

  This essentially fills two different networks at the layer level 2 layer 3.

  You want rather than the two networks remain separated inside the host.

  • create a new v-switch on the host

  • move the internet NIC v-switch

  • Move the second NIC on each virtual machine to this switch

  • Make sure that access to internet VM NIC is one with a default gateway on a virtual machine OS

  • remove the default gateway of the NIC MPLS

  • creating persistent static routes to the NIC MPLS for any affected networks it beyond the same subnet as the NIC itself.  Addresses on the same subnet will be automatically accessible. Just roads for those outside this range.

• Tecra A10 - 12O: installing the driver network card in Windows Server 2003 R2 Std

  Hello

  I received 6 laptop Tecra A10 - 12O, and we need to install Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition with SP2 in all these six machines. Windows Server 2003 has been installed perfectly, but now we have only the network LAN card to work but we are unable to install its driver. When I installed Windows XP from the supplied DVD for Toshiba, it says Intel 82567V Gigabit network adapter. I tried to download the drivers for this adatpor of drivers Toshiba, Intel Web site, but it will not install in Windows Server 2003. I also tried manually force to choose and install a driver from the list, I choose that it will install but shows yellow question mark in Device Manager means that it does not work with this driver.

  I also tried the same Intel 82567V drivers from some sites non-Toshiba, of these models using the same network card, but is not truck drivers at all.

  I understand these laptop computers does not support Windows Server 2003, but these were ordered to be used as servers with Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and I am required to make the Installer only with activated and installed network adapter.

  I try last week and exhausted all means to get the installed network adapter driver, but all have failed. Can someone please help with this? All support will be highly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy

  If I m not wrong Windows Server 2003 uses the same drivers as Win XP and I guess that it s driver problem not a LAN, but perhaps also the problem of Windows Server 2003 installed.

  You are right; the LAN chip seems to be Intel 82567V and the LAN driver downloaded from Intel page should work 100%.

  In your case, I would recommend installing the chipset driver.
  Remove the LAN card from Device Manager, then restart the laptop.
  Then go back to Device Manager and update driver in pointing devices Manager to the place where the driver downloaded LAN was stored on the HARD drive.
