Mix the virtual switch different type in a Cluster and a data center.

Can I mix standard virtual switch and a virtual switch distributed in different hosts to a Cluster/DataCenter? Can I vMotion virtual machine to a host of switch distributed to a host of standard switch and vice versa? Let's assume that the hosts have the same port group name (but have virtual swaitch different type), in the same data center, and have the same subnet IP vMotion.

You can mix standard switches and distributed, that's what we call hybrid architecture... but to be able to migrate virtual machines between virtual switches, you must the vSphere 6 and again there are some limitations, like not be able to migrate from VDS vs.

  • How to leave the virtual switch as a physical switch law in esxi 5?

    Hello.

    I have Esxi5 installed on a server with 3 physical network card (they are supported and found in Esxi) on that Esxi I installed a virtual-SIN (NexentaStor) machine. The first network adapter is connected to the router, the second network adapter is connected to a PC. DHCP is enabled on the router. Normally on a real switch all connected pc should automatically get an IP address from the server (router), or must be able to communicate when they have a fixed IP address. This does not work on the virtual switch. One of my virtual pc Gets an IP address in a range of false, and I can't connect a real PC at this switch

    2 questions:

    1. Should what settings I use in esxi5 to get virtual pc the good IP address?
    2. Is it possible to connect a real pc directly to the second NIC in my esxi server and use the virtual switch as a true switch? In this way, I can use the Gigabit Nic for a fast and direct connection to the virtual NAS and can connect to the internet via the switch?

    Hello

    Is it possible to change the name of the virtual switch, for example, when you create a new vSwitch in VI Center it starts with vSwitch1 can change you it to vSwitch2 providing their isn't another switch with this name?

    Once the scanning is complete (do not skip the preparatory stages no more), if the problem persists:

    2. double-click on my computer, right-click the icon for your hard drive, click left to get its properties. If you see options to set Quota management make sure that they are disabled.

    3. in the case - BUT ONLY AFTER YOU ARE sure THAT THE MACHINE IS MALWARE/VIRUS-FREE - copy the lines between asterisks (not including the asterisks) below and paste it into Notepad. Save as undopolicy.reg somewhere, you will find. And then double-click the .reg file, that you have just made to melt in your registry. I hope that this will take care of the issue.

  • Network management - only the virtual switch

    I installed latest ESXi 4 Update 1, which is available. I m running Active Directory LAB on several virtual servers Windows 2008 R2 and one of them acts as a router with RRAS role. I m creating 3 different subnets and one of them must be only virtual - no material connection NIC in the interface of ESXi´s it seems that I can't do this, while creating the new switch virtual it forces me to select NIC it becomes a problem, because if I use a virtual switch for Windows 2008 router has the physical NETWORK map It will come to mean that the cable is disconnected. And I need a virtual connection between virtual servers only, that they will be the single subnet between them and communication to physical clients will go through this router´s of Windows 2008 NIC that is not supposed to be physical.

    How can I archive with ESXi?

    You can create a vSwitch without attached Teddy.

    Do not select any NIC, or delete them after the creation of the vSwitch.

  • Initializing the elements of the array to different types of data

    These data resembles a cluster to create a cluster, you can create a constant of cluster on the comic book and use the cast function to fill in the cluster. Some things you need to be aware of:

  • Assign comments NIC to the virtual switch / Portgroup

    All,

    After many search on these forums and the API reference guide, I can not find a solution to the following problem, we are going to have...

    We use the Perl SDK to clone existing Virtual Machines and create new virtual switches and exchanges. However, what we can't understand is how to assign a NETWORK adapter on a virtual computer for the new virtual switch / Portgroup.

    We would like to be able to create two new virtual machines and a new switch and add the two virtual machines to the portgroup on the switch so that they can communicate. At a later stage, we also want to be able to add a physical NETWORK card from the host to the new switch.

    The making through the vSphere Client is quite simple, but we need to automate the task.

    No indication on what we should do is appreciated. If it's easier to do using other APIs (such as Web Services), we are open to try this instead...

    Thanks in advance,

  • The virtual switch configuration

    Hello

    I configured Vswitch on ESX4.0 connected with a teddy bear.

    There are Cisco catalyst 4503 L3 switch configured with several VLANS at the other end. I have configured the switch port trunk with dot1q encap mode that ends on the ESX4.0 server. Service console is configured with IP default VLAN, which is accessible from the other VIRTUAL networks. One of the virtual machine with Win2k3 OS is installed, but after configuration, I am not able to ping default gateway of VLAN respective or any other property intellectual VLAN.

    Can anyone guide me where I go wrong and how to correct the problem?

    Set the Group of ports to the VLAN specific you want the virtual machine to be on.  Do not put any VLAN ID in the virtual machine, just plug it into the port group.  If you have other virtual machines, or other on this virtual machine network interface cards that need to connect to the other VLAN create other Port groups for each VIRTUAL local area network required.

  • How to set up the virtual switch vmnet0 so in fact, it behaves like a switch.

    Hello

    I have a problem:

    My configuration is:

    host of CentOS 5.3 using vmware server 1.06

    3 clients (all centos 5.3 with vmware tools) installed

    web01

    DB01

    backup01

    The three guests have public ip and use the bridged (vmnet0) network

    The backup01 backups web01 and db01 every night.

    My supplier can see that traffic on its poort switch that connects the host to the internet, and he wants to charge me for it.

    The three guests (and host) are all on the same subnet. It is the local subnet traffic that does not use a gateway.

    It seems the traffic between hosts is diffuse on my physical eth0 on the host. When I have some files between guests, it also appears on the page from my supplier of PCs followed AY. (Just likecommunication between 2 physical host computers are on the local network when you use a hub instead of a switch)

    I thought it was probably the only way to vmware would work when using network bridges. Because the host doesn't know anyting on the clients ip numbers.

    But when googleling abot this I found several docuemtents (for vmware server 2) telling me that vmnet0 is actually a sort of virtual switch.

    If this is true this virtualswitch should know other mac adressess clients (arp who a..) and she must stop the internal traffic to leave the material.

    Is not what is happinging. It looks more like a virtualhub instead of virtual switch.

    So I was wondering if there are ways to configure the vmnet0 somehow. I was hot, but I can't find anything about it.

    I don't want to change the bridged mode or coz internal use of the intellectual property of the plan is to spit the separate web01 and db01 to vmware guests in the furture.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    My idea was to put an additional physical switch between me and my switch to suppliers, but that seems to be a ridiculous solution.

    Any help is welcome.

    VMserver don't use virtual switches: it uses virtual hubs. They are mislabeled - probably because "virtual switch" sounds more sexy than "virtual hub".

    You can't change their behavior to be more like a switch

    Hallo,

    all the networkadapters are virtual switch. How can I change to a hub? I'd like to sniff my networktraffic with a guestsystem, but that only works with a hub. Or can I change some settings to do this with esxi?

    You can set it on a vSwitch or Portgropup

    Click Edit, switch or PG-> Security-> Promiscous Mode-> accept

    Take a look at the Config Guide http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_3_server_config.pdf

    If you also want traffic on your pSwitch, you create a mirror on your pSwitch port.

  • Security on the Virtual Switch

    We have a web layer and a layer of app in our environment.

    An ESX host would have a VLAN to the web layer connection and another with the application layer. Well separated and in line with our security strategy.

    We have a separate vlan for backup. Layer Web and application can share the same network card on the vlan for backup.

    Problem is that it can communicate with each other through the EPS backup because he won't have the physical switch when in the same ESX host. He speaks just internally within ESX.

    Does anyone know if there is a setting in ESX forcing traffic to go to physical swith before talking to another virtual machine on the same host?

    Hello

    See http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/virtualization-pro/how-traffic-routes-between-vms-on-esx-hosts/ for how routes traffic. If the virtual machines share the same portgroup on the same vSwitch traffic is not routed outside ESX otherwise it's almost always. Check out the blog for more details.

  • Problems with the revival of NIC in the virtual switches

    We have implemented a vlan trunking and during the installation, I found some, but not all of my cards are not detect a 'down' State in vmware. I have tried rebooting all equipment and it did not help. I double checked the configurations, and they are the same, I see. I was wondering if anyone has had problems with this.

    In the picture below I would normally see a red X in the State of the NETWORK adapter binding after a few moments, and the other NETWORK adapter will pass traffic. On 5 configured hosts, this seemed to be the only NIC that is not down to the virtual center when I stopped the switchport. Then when I restarted the swtich, I checked 5 guests for the correct path failover. Strangely, my other hosts 2 has actually detected the card NETWORK went down but the failover does not occur and the virtual machine went unresponsive to the outside world, even if their State of link does show and X! Failover detection is set to bind the State.

    All but one host is 3.5.64607, the other is 82663. My next step is to update and bring it to past versions. I hope that this will work.
