• Question about the collection of NETWORK adapters for vMotion / VM vSwitch

  Hello

  We use vSphere Enterprise Edition 5.1.

  We also create separate vSwitch for management / vMotion and VM.

  Each vSwitch receives 2 network cards connected to the different switch for redundancy.

  We would like to know is necessary to provide the collection of NETWORK adapters for these vSwitches?  Currently, only enable us NIC Teaming for VM vSwitch only.

  Thank you

  VSwitch vMotion, we have 2 assigned NIC (nic2 and nic6) with 10 VLANS.  NIC2 and nic6 are connected to 2 different physical switches.

  Should I choose

  (1) both are active

  (2) both are assets + grouping of NETWORK cards?

  Question - if there is only 1 VLAN, it seems that NIC Teaming is also not very useful unless we use 2 VLAN (Multi-NIC vMotion).  Is this right?

  If you use Multi-NIC vMotion, there is no need to have two different VLANS, all you need is depending on configuration

  on your vMotion switch, please create two vmkernel port for vMotion with the same VLAN ID, but the grouping of NETWORK cards as below

  vMotion_1 - VLAN ID: 10

  Grouping of NETWORK cards

  vmnic2 - active

  vmnic6 - watch

  vMotion_2 - VLAN ID: 10

  vmnic6 - active

  vmnic2 - watch

• Network adapters and VLAN (optional) shaded in DCUI

  I'm studying for my VCP exam and I use a nested in workstation installation. Suddenly I don't have access to the network adapters in the DCUI. I've migrated the two network interface cards used for the management of a group of management vmkernel ports in a distributed switch.

  Anyone know what is happening here? Google gave me this indication Configure networking Greyed in DCUI
  

  But in my case, the hosts are always connected to vCenter and work fine no problems anywhere.

  

  As you migrate your management VMkernel service VDS, all virtual switch tasks, including managament VMkernel configuration interfaces / VLAN must be done on vDS and not on ESXi.

• "No network adapters were found.

  Hello

  I'm new on the VMware virtualization software and work on implementing the vSphere environment. I'm on the initial phase of installation 5.0 ESXi and start using an ESXi installation the CD but it throws an error "not found network adapters".

  I use the Intel Desktop Board DH67CL LAN support:

  LAN support

  Subsystem Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mb / s) using the Intel® 82579V Gigabit Ethernet Controller

  Instead of using the default NIC, we can also work with the addition of some NIC commonly available to the motherboard that is compatible with the 5.0.would of VMware ESXi, it works very well? If yes you make you recoomend to that effect?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  82579v drivers can be added to the installation cd, to support your integrated card.

• Assign a port to a specific virtual machine network and combine ports

  Hello

  I have two questions.  1. is it possible to assign a specific to a single virtual computer network port? and 2. I can aggregate multiple physical port to act as 1 and have a virtual port to VMS?

  I'm new to VMware so please forgive me if this is a fundamental issue.  I tried googleing the issue but did not have much luck.  I have a Dell R710 with 4 physical network ports.  Currently all the virtual machines on the host sharing a port.  I would like to use one of the ports and assign it to a specific virtual machine and only this VM.  One of the virtual machines is my / home server and NFS exports him / home dirs to other systems.  This virtual machine will be cumbersome to use network.  I want to assign its own network for its traffic port does not impede the movement of other virtual machines.

  I would also like to consolidate other ports into a single virtual port.

  If you can tell me a document that explains how to do this, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the VMware communities forum.   With the default installation of ESXi, a single virtual switch (vSwitch0) is created using vmnic0.   If you want to add additional NIC ports simply go to Configuration > network and then click the properties link to the vSwitch.  Click network adapters, and then click Add to add another NIC port.   ESXi then balance the network traffic load.

  You could dedicate a NIC port to a virtual machine, but possibility of ESXi to balance the traffic load I would simply add additional NETWORK adapter ports to vSwitch0.  If your network needs simply to include VM and management traffic, then I would have simply put all 4 ports NETWORK card in vSwitch0 and let ESXi manage traffic.  This way, you get as much redundancy.

  If you use network storage for your virtual machines (such as iSCSI) then you can consider segment this traffic.  In this case create you a new vSwitch and that a link to 2 (i.e. 2 NETWORK ports for iSCSI) NETWORK ports and then other 2 NETWORK ports in vSwitch0 for ranks of VM traffic.

• Mapping of several physical network adapters to virtual network adapters

  Hi all

  I am wanting to know how to combine physical network adapters to virtual nics in Vsphere 4.1. I have a gateway virtualized device that supports multiple WAN connections and balancing on these connections. The bridge is all authentication PPPoE/A, so I need to have separate cards for each PPP connection. So, how can I connect a physical NETWORK adapter to a virtual NETWORK adapter and have all access the same VM virtual NIC?

  Hope that makes sense!

  James

  Right-click on the virtual machine, and then select change settings. On the Hardware tab, click Add, and then add the virtual NICs that you will need.  On the network connection screen, you will be able to select a network label which corresponds to VM port groups you created.

• Error of grouping of HP network adapters

  After conversion of 2 HP DL360 G5 with NIC team I now get the error when you try to launch the below HP Network Configuration utility:

  "An error has occurred due to invalid data in the xml file that is used by this application.  The XML file has been damaged and needs to be reinstalled from the installation media.

  This has happened on both servers, up to now, I converted and although the lack of consolidation of network cards is not a huge problem, I fear that this is a code that do not have the conversion process a sweetness that it appeared and there may be more corrupted files hidden.

  Anyone know if there is a known issue?

  I am using Stand Alone Converter 4.3

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Hello from the Canada

  After the P2V conversion, you MUST remove all agents of the material of the Virtual Machine that includes the consolidation of NIC from HP, it will not work properly

  on your VM and it can cause a lot of weird problems

  As you can see on this Ko under the section of "Tasks to perform after that conversion is complete" http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004588

  Tasks to perform after that conversion is complete

  After the conversion is completed:

  1. Check the settings of virtual hardware:

     • Adjust the number of virtual network adapters. If you need customize the host name or IP address, leave all network cards present but disconnected.
     • Remove all devices useless such as USB controllers (if you are running on ESX), COM ports, or floppy drive

  2. Start the virtual machine Mode without failure. For more information, see start a guest operating system Windows in SafeMode (1004011).
  3. Click on Start > Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs.  Remove all unnecessary programs used to install or support device, drivers such a RAID, network software of grouping or management, software management of wireless card management tools and drivers audio and video. Do not restart if you are prompted by an uninstall program.
  4. Restart the virtual machine in Normal mode.
  5. Remove additional devices or device drivers that have been used in support of hardware on the physical server. Use the Device Manager or control panel, depending on the version of Windows to remove unnecessary devices. It may also be necessary to view the event log to clear the messages failed rest device startup.
  6. VMware recommends changing the HAL in the uniprocessor virtual machine if the source server is configured with an abstraction layer multi-CPU hardware (HAL), and the destination virtual machine is configured to use a single processor. For more information, see modification of the Abstraction Layer HAL for a Windows virtual machine (1003978).
  7. Install VMware Tools and reboot if you are prompted.
  8. If necessary, customize the identity of the virtual machine. VMware recommends using the Microsoft Sysprep utility to achieve this, however, it can also be achieved by manually changing the host name, IP address, and any other record of unique identification. For more information, see How to use Sysprep: An Introduction http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457073.aspx.
  9. If the System Configuration Utility (msconfig) has been used before the conversion, select Normal startup switch to return to a normal boot configuration. For more information, see using the Windows System Configuration utility (1004010).
  10. Apply any previously deleted static parameters IP address, as requires it.
  11. Reconnect any disconnected NIC virtual, as required.

• How many network adapters I - ESXi 4.1 with iSCSI

  I was wondering if someone could help me give a sense the news I read on # NIC for ESXi 4.1.  I came across the following article, but I'm not sure I understand all parts of traffic that he speaks:

  http://livingonthecloud.blogspot.com/2009/09/ESXi-networking-best-practices.html

  At the moment I have 6 cards 1 GB on each of my 3 servers.  I connect to my SAN via iSCSI, so I know I'm going to need at least 2 of these network adapters for that traffic. I know I'll need at least 2 NICs for connection between my ESXi server and my switch to the network of the VM.  What I don't understand is what I really need for the VMKernel FT, VMkernal Vmotion and VMKernal the Network Administration.  I do not plan on using Vmotion very often at all, so I'm not concerned about its impact on my network.

  Any advice?  I need to replace my double NICs with Quad NIC card or is it exaggerated?

  The management doesn't have a dedicated network card. It can share the network with virtual machines cards.

  In this case the following configuration would be interesting:

  vSwitch0: (3 NIC uplinks) (assuming vmnic0, vmnic1 vmnic2)

  Port group 1 - networking (vmnic0 and vmnic1-> active vmnic2,-> stand-by)

  Port group 2 - network of the VM (vmnic0 and vmnic1-> active vmnic2,-> stand-by)

  Port 3 - VM Network Group (vmnic0 and vmnic1-> stand-by, vmnic2-> active)-for the "Pervasive SQL.

  vSwitch1: (1 NIC/uplink)

  Port group 1 - VMkernel for vMotion on a separate network (192.168.x.x)

  vSwitch2: (2 cards network/links rising)

  configuration by following the best practices of your iSCSI storage provider

  In this way the "Pervasive SQL" would have a dedicated NIC (vmnic2) and may switch to another NETWORK card in the event of disruption of the network.

• ESXi 4.0 host network adapters

  I'm kinda a noob here, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. I have an ESXi host with two network adapters. My configuration is to have an adapter connected to the Internet and an adapter connected to my internal network. I want to do in order to implement an router ISA in a VM and use a NAT to clients internal and other virtual machines. Is this possible?

  I thought it would be as simple as the external adapter with DHCP configuration to obtain the address of my ISP and configuration of the adapter internal staically and then simply using vSwitches to connect the adapters with my computers invited to use the appropriate physical card. The problem is that when I go in the shell of ESXi, you can only configure dynamic or static for the management network and there is no options to configure two adapters separately. I see my internal adapter properly configured with a static address in the vClient, but the external adapter shows a range of IP addresses observed of 10.229.128.1 - 10.229.129.254. Where did that come from? Do I need to use the command-line utility to configure this? If so, what commands can do that? Thanks in advance!

  No need to reboot the host. Basically, all you need are two vSwitches. The first one connected to the LAN internal groups of 2 ports, one for the VMKernel (with the configured IP settings) and one for the network of the Virtual Machine. The second vSwitch only requires a Virtual Machine port group.

  Configure the virtual machine (your router ISA) with two network cards virtual, a related internal and external vSwitch. Make sure the settings for virtual network cards are set to "Connect at Power On" and are in the 'connected' State when the virtual machine is up and running.

  Depending on your ISP, you should get a DHCP IP address on the external vNIC by configuring it to "Automatic" in the guest OS.

• Grouping of active/active network adapters

  I have two 6509 cisco switch

  I have configured the two physical network adapters on ESX 4.1 as active/active and they are connected to a NIC in each switch.

  That way I have more flow?

  How ESX handles the traffic in the pool of active/active NETWORK adapters?

  As I understand it, (even once that caveat, not a network) you cannot extend a vswitch on switch ports without a violation of the spanning tree protocols that disables anything but a port UNLESS your links aggregation switches battery cross. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.

  You are right. There is some confusion of terms only.

  There is a network standard called 802.3ad (working group name) or 802.1AX (real name now, but the name sticks around the working group.) This explains how two units may group several links together and logically to treat them as one. On Cisco switches, this is called an 'association' on the HP Procurve switches, this is called a 'trunk', and on most servers, this is called a "NIC team." On ESX, it is called "IP hash.

  Both parties must be configured to do so, otherwise the same MAC address is displayed both on different ports and this would cause various problems, including trouble of Spanning Tree, but also other things.

  The 802.3ad has two modes, a static configuration, or dynamics of the aggregation of links. The static method is quite simple, the two sides should only be configured manually. When you use dynamic a certain protocol called LACP is used to negotiate it. Cisco also has its own propertiary Protocol PaGP that does the same thing.

  The host ESX/ESXi only has support for aggregation of static links, so this must also be set on the side of the physical switch.

  The 802.3ad/802.1AX does not specify HOW loads should be balanced across the available links. It is up to the different units to decide and it could very well be different on two sides of it without problem.

  Various switches (physics and also the Vmware vSwitch) uses a method that includes IP addresses in the source and the destination to choose a NIC out this load balancing works well and is quite simple to do, but the boundaries a session between two periods of investigation to a single network adapter. If the connection fails, it will go to another.

  Some switches have the possibiliy to use more advanced algorithms to do this, including for example src/dst IP and also the TCP port numbers. It is more "expensive" to do what the package should be inspected deeper and also cause more general CPU, but will allow the load between two IP hosts use multiple network interface cards. It is not supported on the standard vSwitch or the distributed switch, but on the 3rd party Nexus 1000v.

  However, all methods is the aggregation of links, some differences in how to place images on the network adapters.

  As for using two different physical switches standard does not allow this. Aggregated links must begin and end between the two groups. However, several switch suppliers (for example, Cisco and HP) formed their own solutions for this, called stacked Switch Etherchannel or Trunking distributed for example.

  IF you have these switches with this function and if set up correctly on the side of the switch, you can for example set four vmnic "hash IP" on your ESX/ESXi and connect these two physical switches. This would probably be the best combination of fault tolerance and load balancing.

• Configuration of the network adapters physical vSwitches

  Hello! I am currently in operation 1 Server ESXi 4.1, a switch Dell PowerConnect 2708 (8 ports) and 2 vSwitches.

  My question is this:

  Why don't my ESXi / vCenter server detects the physical or the various Dell switch ports? I can only see 1 physical adapter that is my card physical BroadCom that is installed on the physical server ESXi. From what I've studied, I've seen users ESXi / vCenter Server able to detect at least 1 or 2 cards physical on their Cisco switches.

  Is the problem the manufacturer? Dell or Cisco? I can only now see 2 physical network adapters on my server vCenter Server "vmnic0" which is upward and enforcement connected to my main switch which has to internet access. And "vmnic32" under "Gigabit Ethernet PCIe" which is down and waiting, which I'm unable to set up at all.

  I just need 1 physical adapter to connect to my newly created another vSwitch. Please give helpful suggestions! Thank you!!!

  The Dell switch must support CDP, if it is not, you will not see any information on the Dell switch - two NETWORK ports are pligged of network cables?

• Advice on how best to configure the network adapters and virtual switch in ESX host

  I'm new to VMware and am its implementation.  I got my training a few weeks ago, and now I'm configing my hosts.  I have 3 guests, each have 2 network cards.  There is a virtual switch that ESX creates when it is installed (vSwtich0).  The books said that it is advisable to delete the VM network port of virtual machine that is assigned to the value group default virtual switch and put it on another virtual switch so that you keep your management network separated from the network of the vm for performance and security.  If I do this, all my virtual machines will have to go to 1 NIC b/c I only have 2 NICs per host.  I thought that I have just to keep all my groups of ports on the default vSwitch0 and add my second NETWORK adapter so that I can take advantage of the Association of NICs for redundancy and load balancing.  However, I'm not sure on the performance and the security risks.  Do you have any ideas or advice?  I could also create two virtual switches and put my virtual machines on one which would have a NETWORK card dedicated and put my service and Kernal VM console on another virtual switch with a dedicated network card.  However, in this scenario, I have no fault tolerance or load balancing.  We are a small shop and we have about 10-15 VMs on each host.  I don't have access to b/c distributed switching we paid only for the company (not more).  Thank you.

  Hi and welcome to the forums,

  With 10-15 VMs per box and I guess that I would seriously consider adding two extra cards for each host in the production machines. You could then do something like:

  vSwitch0 - vmnic0, vmnic2, vmnic3 - Console of Service, VM LAN network

  vSwitch1 - vmnic1 - VMkernel

  That would give you redundancy and performance to access your hosts (SC) and also for all your virtual machines. The VMkernel would get a NETWORK card dedicated for vMotion and could be on a separate network. He didn't need redundancy really as if the NIC sank the only issue is that you cannot vmotion virtual machines. In this case you would just move one of the NIC workgroup through to those switches manually.

  If you only have 2 network cards, then I would say having a vSwitch with two attached network adapters and VLAN the VMkernel may be off. I want absolutely to the redundancy of having two cards together.

  Hope this helps,

• Grouping of NETWORK adapters and NLB on ESXi 3.5

  I want to get ESXi to load balance the traffic to my NFS storage, but have had no success. My test set up is the following:

  • Two blades each with two physical network adapters dedicated to the ESXi for NFS kernel ports

  • Two switches

  • A NETWORK adapter on each blade is connected to each switch - it isn't an Etherchannel or trunking configured

  • Two NFS devices on a different IP address

  • Eight virtual machines on each blade, four to connect to a data store on each device of NFS

  • ESXi NIC teaming across two network cards with the option "route based on the virtual origin of switch port code.

  My understanding is that each virtual computer must use one of the network cards, but about half must use a physical NETWORK card and half the other. Instead, all the traffic of all eight VMs released a physical NIC if I disable the physical NIC, it moves the second NETWORK card without problem. Then they both work, but he never uses both at the same time. This behavior is consistent across the two blades.

  Is throughbut limited to ~ 110 MB per blade and the storage system can easily exceed this.

  I've attached a screenshot of a virtual switch in place.

  TIA,

  Will be

  Virtual machines are access NFS data warehouses directly? If Yes, then yes it should work that way - however if you are using the NFS data store to host the VM files, including virtual disks and then traffic will turn off the vmkernel port and if have vmkernel unique port then what you are experiencing is expected - the vmkernel selects the outgoing NIC based on the virtual port id so if you have a single port vmkernel will suffice a single port as well as a NETWORK identifier unique will be used.
