Maximization of double connection NIC to boost performance on ESXi vSwitch

Hi all

I was wondering if I could useboth NIC connection at the same time to boost performance?

in the attached screenshot one is currently disabled? I use ESXi 4 with the latest patch and it's Dell Power Edge 2950 - III Broadcom NetXtreme II NICS and Intel Pro 1000 MT with TOE NIC.

all cables Cat6 and address IP currently assigned to this host ESXi is one.

any kind of suggestion and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Kind regards

So overall, you have 4 nic dedicated to the movement of SAN 2 and 2 configured on the console Service, VMoption and LAN traffic (in active Passive).

Best practice is to separate the traffic of your management of your LAN traffic.

With Layer 2 switches that I recommend that if you go to a single switch anyway, so you might as well dedicate a NIC to SC/vmotion and then spend the other card NETWORK LAN traffic.  This at least allows you to run backups on the SAN network (or make vmotions) without killing your Lan traffic (or vice versa).

You could probably change the vswtch based on MAC address instead of virtual port and then make it active two NICs.  In this configuration, a virtual machine takes a NIC at boot time and still about it... basically giving you a few loadbalancing.

I personally would probably go the way of its own for the LAN NETWORK card and the other card network for SC/Vmotion.

  • Which connection double connection NAS use?

    Hello!

    I need my NAS (Synology DS415 +) to be double connection due to the fact that I use an ethernet port to connect to the router (so he gets the WiFi connection that is needed for the office camera) and another port to the wire to the iMac, which is my main editing station (Adobe Premiere). How can I check which connection my iMac using right now? Is there a way to force my iMac to use wired instead of WiFi? There is a big difference when you have all of the media files you use when editing on the NAS (speed cable > wifi speed)

  • Connect NICs VM

    Hello

    We had a power outaged yesterday on one of our DC. Unfortunately, all the virtual machines network cards appear to be turned off/disabled network device status and we did check one by one just to be sure.

    Asked if there will be a single powercli script that will make things:

    1. get the name of the cluster

    2. get VMs with unchecked network adapter {}Set-NetworkAdapter -Connected:$false}

    3. set the virtual machine network adapter connected

    4. pull out a report to csv format.

    It will be a great help.

    Here are some cli a liner.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Unplug the adapter on a Virtual Machine

    Get-VM -Name $VM_Name | Get-NetworkAdapter | Set-NetworkAdapter -Connected:$false

    Connect the adapter to a Virtual Machine

    Get-VM -Name $VM_Name | Get-NetworkAdapter | Set-NetworkAdapter -Connected:$true

    Connection status on the virtual machines network adapters

    Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Select-Object Parent,ConnectionState

    Be limited to a specific cluster, you could do

    $clusterName = Read-Host -Prompt "Cluster name" $cluster = Get-Cluster -Name $clusterName $nics = Get-VM -Location $cluster | Get-NetworkAdapter | where {!$_.ConnectionState.Connected}
    
    $nics | Set-NetworkAdapter -Connected:$true -Confirm:$false $nics | Select @{N="VM";E={$_.Parent.Name}},Name | Export-Csv c:\report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
    

    And for a specific folder, you could do

    $folderName = Read-Host -Prompt "Folder name" $folder = Get-Folder -Name $folderName
    $nics = Get-VM -Location $folder | Get-NetworkAdapter | where {!$_.ConnectionState.Connected}
    
    $nics | Set-NetworkAdapter -Connected:$true -Confirm:$false
    $nics | Select @{N="VM";E={$_.Parent.Name}},Name | Export-Csv c:\report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
    

    If the concept every time the same, you limit the Get - VM using the location parameter

    Just got a new HP H8 - 1360T with a Radeon HD7570 video card. I have two monitors with DVI and VGA inputs on them. They were both used with an older Dell dual mode. Unfortunately the double with the Dell adapter cable has a male end LFH59 (all pins) that will not connect the HP H8 - 1360T.  Is it as simple as getting the right cable? I see some references/DVI-I single and double as well as DVI - D single and double. I want to extend my desktop on two monitors. Can what adapter cable I get? Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    You said that the monitors DVI so use a native DVI cable to a monitor, and then a DVI cable to HDMI to the other monitor.

    To eliminate any problems check each monitor, one at a time on each port to make sure everything works before moving on to the next step.

  • Double connection ISP and load balancing

    Hi all

    I have the Cisco 2911 router k 9/s with 3 GB ports. I have also two different ISP connections, all have two different available bandwidth (one is asymmetrical, else a symmetrical).

    What I want to achieve is to ensure the balance of Nice load between two ISPS for all PCs behind the NAT device.

    What I know so far, it's that I can use CEF or PfR/REL. For both of this technology, I have some doubts.

    CEF: distributes the network load between the two connections based on sessions (which is good, because I strongly to use tools like Skype or Lync for audio/video conversations). However, what is happening, when I get on one of the ISP connections broadband bandwidth max? He's going to choke for 50% of the connections? Or it will detect the use of bandwidth and to force using second ISP?

    PfR/REL: as far as I understood it resolves my concern regarding the use of the connection, but what happens to the session? Should it also be based on this mechanism? As you know that it is very important for audio/video connections.

    Are there other tools that can provide these load balancing? I know DAB, but I don't want to decide manually, where each service (e.g. http or ssh) will have to go. I'm looking for something more automated.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    I assume that you have a static route for the subnet 213.192.65.0/24 on top of the output and with the combination of order

    network default IP 213.192.65.105 213.192.65.105 IP address is installed as a default gateway. What is the #2 ISP?

    If so, it explains why he always goes on ISP2 only.

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/Tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094374.shtml#flagging

    Just remove the config:

    Noneip default-network 213.192.65.105

    Noneip default-gateway 213.192.65.105

    Then again check the routing table:

    SH ip route

    Hope it helps.

  • Double installation NIC down catwalks when 0.0.0.0 route change is forced

    I regularly course dual NIC with separate gateways.  A NETWORK adapter connects to the primary LAN (servers & workstations) as well as the internet.  The other connects to the resources of the company located in Denver and New York.  I write for enterprise resource roads, there is generally no problem.  However, I can't discover all IP departmental resources and a large part of the route is by server name, not by IP, so the hosts file must reflect IP - ServerName to route correctly.  This brings me to my question:

    Strange cases where complete connection Corporate is needed I would like to temporarily live ALL traffic on this interface.  I tried to remove just the 0.0.0.0 route and adding a new 0.0.0.0 route with the correct interface and tried to remove the road 0 and adding two return interfaces, with different metric values.
    Unfortunately, Win7 will frequently drop one or two interfaces gateways and a reboot is required to recover any other works for example netsh ip reset init, ipconfig/release / renew, disable/enable interface and so on.  Bridges and static IP addresses does nothing to help.
    Is there a way to permanently fix the bridges to keep them from falling, or is there a way to get back them without rebooting?
    Currently, my routing table looks like this (applicable info only)
    Destination Gateway metric network mask
    0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 10
    0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.79.65.1 25
    Persistent routes
    10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.79.65.1 10
    I would like a quick change to this
    Destination Gateway metric network mask
    0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.79.65.1 25

    Or this
    Destination Gateway metric network mask
    0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.79.65.1 10
    0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 25
    Persistent routes
    10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.79.65.1 10

    Without deleting gateways.

  • ESXi 4.1 connection NIC 0 to NIC 2 to a Port DHCP and static IP address

    I have a Dell Blade M610 I recently put in place with ESXi 4.1 Software. I have the Management Console, NIC 0, a static IP address, but when I connect to a DHCP Port to NIC 1 I lose the ability to connect to the console of the VSphere Client. I get "connection failed". Remove the DHCP connection works and I can log in and manage the server.

    Question-

    What settings am I missing, that will allow me to connect it to a static IP Port and a DHCP Port at the same time?

    The static IP addressed Port is behind a firewall on a subnet to isloated. The DHCP Port is on the Production network. A point to note - while IP address static on an isolated network, the TCP/IP Port, which allows you to talk to the domain controller to add from the PC to the field, is open. Most of the other Ports TCP/IP is disabled.

    I would like to know if it is possible to realize that I need to create virtual machines to be used on the remote subnet, as well as on the Production side of the network.

    Is there a reason for the group "DHCP VMkernel" VMkernel ports on vSwitch1? If this is not the case, remove this port group. It is not necessary to connect to the network of the VM.

  • Help routing with double connections 1 ISP, 2 routers, Firewall-2 lights

    My company is moving to a new building and ordered redundant Internet connections by the same ISP.  I did have a chance to talk to the ISP seller, but from what I've heard say that they expect us to participate in the BGP as will force us to balance load and high availability for inbound web traffic.  My limited experience with BGP has been in a lab environment.  The company has already bought two routers and two ASAs.  We have a block of public IP addresses.

    My goals are to

    1 allow internal out of the Internet users
    2. allow to outside users to browse our public web site.
    3. configure the routers and the ASAs so that if any one device Internet connections or lack fails, the business will continue as usual.

    Here are some of my questions to help me make sure that I'm heading down the correct path:

    -The IP addresses on the links point to point between our routers and the ISP will come from our IP address block, or if they are separated/30 links provided by the ISP?  (Even once, I have not had the chance to talk to the seller)

    ' '-Will be the link iBGP "has" requires the use of public or private IP addresses IPs can be used?  In addition to configuring iBGP on these routers, is thus a first protocol redundancy Hop configured here?

    -Should there be links routed between R1 and R2 and FW2, FW1?  Too complicating the design without real value?

    -Would be OSPF or EIGRP usually configured for links B, C D & to allow redundancy you want between the firewalls and routers?

    -What is the best practice for the determination of the flow of outbound traffic layer 3 switch (6509 s configured as a VSS) to the two ASAs?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Mike

    Hello

    first of all that you need in your design for me of course that traffic inbound and outbound flows must be aligned end-to-end

    answers to your questions are by below:

    -The IP addresses on the links point to point between our routers and the ISP will come from our IP address block, or if they are separated/30 links provided by the ISP?  (Even once, I have not had the chance to talk to the seller)

    Any dose not need and ask the ISP to provide their own IPs for p2p links (to avoid wasting your public IP addresses)

    ' '-Will be the link iBGP "has" requires the use of public or private IP addresses IPs can be used?  In addition to configuring iBGP on these routers, is thus a first protocol redundancy Hop configured here?

    You cannot use private IP addresses

    -Should there be links routed between R1 and R2 and FW2, FW1?  Too complicating the design without real value?

    Here, it's better to use a shared VLAN L2 (switch) for these interfaces get FHRP of routers and the FWs failover works as expected

    -Would be OSPF or EIGRP usually configured for links B, C D & to allow redundancy you want between the firewalls and routers?

    If you use between HSRP/VRRP routers and using failover between the FWs, then using a shared vlan L2 as suggested above will be necessary without IGP, such as EIGRP also the link between the firewall used for FW failover is not like the one used between routers 'dose not need routing.

    -What is the best practice for the determination of the flow of outbound traffic layer 3 switch (6509 s configured as a VSS) to the two ASAs?

    If you put the ASA FWs in failover mode, then the IP address of th eprimary/active ASA FW will be used for your static routes in the L3 switches to point to and this IP address will be used by the secondary FW in a failover situation "transparent and automatic.

    hope this helps

  • slow performance when two vswitches to connect

    I've recently updated to ESX 4.1i.  Now I see a performance issue with one of these virtual machines that I am running on it.

    The configuration looks like this:

    VM1 - & gt; vswitch1 - & gt; Device VM - & gt; vswitch2 - & gt; VM2

    On 3.5, I have the VM1 VM2 to scp without no performance problems.  Took about 20-30 seconds to transfer the file.

    But in 4.0 and 4.1, I touched the major performance issue.  It takes about 30 minutes to transfer the file.

    So miss me something that was added in 4.x or there is a problem in 4.x.

    Some additional information:

    I first used the native driver e1000, but when the 4.x problem is presented, I have configured to use the vmxnet driver.

    There are no other VMware tools on the device, only the vmxnet driver which I compiled myself.  vswitch1 and vswitc2 both are in promiscuous mode

    so that the briding work on the device of the virtual computer.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    -joubert

    Yes! I had this problem. It was my butt for a week. I felt like a fool until I finally found the root of the problem by reading the notes of 4.1 version. Search for them - but they speak of poor performance and disabling LRO to the core of your VM. I then googled to find out how to do this on my CentOS VM, which acted as a virtualized router and came on this page: http://nwsmith.blogspot.com/2010/07/patching-vmxnet-to-disable-lro.html

    I followed these instructions for my CentOS 5.5 VM and, well, my performance still smokes.

    See you soon!

  • Applicaton double connection

    Hey guys,.

    I wonder that if you can help me, I have 2 two requests using the same schema of database authentication account and tables.
    Application 1 is bound to the application 2, but when I connect to the application 2 application 1 the user is required to enter their user name and password again. Ideally I'd like avoid this and have the user name and the word see application 1 on request 2.

    I have it built in 1 single larger application, but because of compliance procedures and promotions at my company is not sand fresh so I'm stuck with the 2-way application.

    Is this possible? If yes how can I do to the implementation. I guess I need to go into the session ID and transfer connection through information, but I'm not entirely sure of how to do this.

    Thanks for any help

    Hello

    Are your applications in the same workspace?
    If Yes, then go edit the two apps authentication schemes and add name of Cookie of Session Cookie attributes.
    Then you should be able to switch between applications without logging in again. Of course need have session running in the links to other ID app.
