Lab Manager V3 and a second NETWORK card

• 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.

• 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.

  If you need assistance, you must move this thread to the section of telepresence of forums, where this device is actively discussed.  You can change your question and change the categories at the bottom of the page.

• 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

• 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

• 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'.

• Error x 40 and 1802: unauthorized network card is plugged

  Hello
  I have a 40 X with its original wifi card. After some bios upgrade, this startup error shown:
  1802: unauthorized network card is plugged - power off and remove the miniPCI network card.

  How can I solve this problem? Perhaps without downgrading the BIOS?

  Thank you very much
  Oliver

  I solved the problem bu decommissioning to the newest BIOS that support my CPU, i.e. without downgrading to the original BIOS

• 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 3 and vCenter Server 4?

  Lab Manager 3.0.2 will work if I upgrade Virtual Center to version 4?  (I realize ESX 4 is not supported, was impossible to find out what anyone simply upgrading to vCenter Server.)

  Right now I have 2 groups managed by a server vCenter Server, a 'production' and another for Lab Manager.  If I upgrade my production cluster to vSphere, can I maintain a separate vCenter server with the old version to support Lab Manager?

  http://www.VMware.com/support/labmanager30/doc/releasenotes_labmanager302.html

  Lab Manager requires VMware Infrastructure 3 Standard or Premium

  (VMware ESX 3.5 Update 1, update 2, update 3 or update 4 and)

  vCenter Update 2.5 1, 2 update, update 3 or update 4).

• Intel s3420gp - does not recognize second NETWORK card

  I just did a clean install on a processor intel S3420GPV Board and can't seem to get ESXi recognize nic1.  He finds and uses nic0 very well.  I'm new on ESXi and don't know how to go about troubleshooting.

  any ideas?

  ETA: this is ESXi 4.1 and Yes, both network adapters is enabled in the BIOS

• Second NETWORK card takes over the management network

  I have a lab of dev ESXI 5.5 on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with a dual port GbE NIC (Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708).

  My basic configuration was a port of configured NIC (vmnic0) with a switch (vSwitch0) Standard.  vSwitch0 was a group of Virtual Machine (for VMS) ports and a VMkernel Port (for the management network).  Everything worked well at this point.

  When I try to configure the second NIC (vmnic1) to a different network switch port and different to connect to iSCSI, network range vmnic1 took over the management network even if it does not show as being the management network.  After that, I'm more able to connect or ping the IP of vmnic0.

  When you configure the vmnic1, I added connection Type of VMkernel.  I did not choose to use the port for traffic management group.

  When I look at the console and choose to configure the management network I see only being vmnic0selected network adapter.

  Am I misunderstood the management network configuration?  If not, does anyone have a suggestion on what may be wrong or how I can diagnose?

  Thank you for your comments!

  I think I knew what was going on.

  I had my VMkernel for networking (192.168.2.0/24) in a different subnet to the VMkernel for iscsi link port (192.168.1.0/24).  The problem was due to the existence of a network trace unidirectional from 192.168.1.0/24 to 192.168.2.0/24 (but not in the opposite direction). As stated in the post of the blog below and elsewhere, if there are two VMkernels in networks with a direct route, the esxi host will be simply choose one of the VMkernels to act as the management network (no matter if only one of the VMkernels has active network management).

  I thought my networks did not have a direct route because of the impossibility (192.168.2.0/24) management network to communicate with the network of liaison port iscsi (192.168.1.0/24) but because the 192.168.1.0/24 network may route to 192.168.2.0/24, he made the two viable VMKernels to act as the point of view of the host management networks.

  After that I moved the post iscsi binding to a switch with no network route, my problem has been resolved.

  Re-reading the following is a blog post that helped me to understand my problem.

  Thanks to those who took the time to review and respond to my problem.

• 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 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.

  concerning

  Merlina.

  Welcome to the VMware forums communities.  You may be able to fix your problem by changing the type of virtual NETWORK adapter and install VMware Tools.  See this KB article - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1002456.

• How to add a second network card to my VMs

  I would like for my VMs see as two NICs installed on my machine. What are the steps to get there there are only three options briged, host-only, and Nat which should I use?

  Probably want to make a host only NIC then and have a second VM on the host that too, assuming that the one you already have is filled, that simulates a machine on the inside of your network.
