  • Network connectivity lost every 24 hours after the migration of DVS

    Hello community...  Well, I'm puzzled again.  I am running a vSphere 5.5 U3 environment with the latest patch.  I'm going through certification VCP - VTC prep and decided to migrate my (lab at home) environment of standard virtual switches to virtual switches distributed as I have not had a lot of experience with them so far.  Migration seems to be okay.  Before migrating, I used three different 1 Gbit/s links a group of hash LACP-IP on my standard vSwitch.  I have several VLANs for different laboratory networks.  One is specifically used as a DMZ for the WAN to my ISP connectivity.  I created a virtual machine for use as a firewall with multiple network cards, which one is connected to this VLAN WAN.  On the standard vSwitch seemed to work exactly as expected.  For some reason any after moving to a DVS, the firewall VM needs to be recharged all morning before the full network connectivity is restored.  It's a strange problem.  I tried to re - create the virtual machine and play with the security settings of DvPortgroup, but the problem persists.  Anyone out there have any ideas as to what could cause this?

    Oh, a little more in detail...  I moved from hash balancing LACP/IP road based on the physical NIC load with the migration to DVS.  Remove groups from the aggregation of connection of the switch too.

    Well, change of load balancing policy and upgrade the DvSwitch to version 6 did not help.  However, I stopped the machine virtual and added 4 E1000 NIC as a test.  I've reconfigured the firewall VM to use the new cards instead of the VMXNET3.  Load Balancing has changed back to "load depending on the physical NETWORK card" and always use VGT to separate traffic.  From now on, he went the longest without experiencing the issue so far.  About 16 hours so far without having to restart the virtual machine.  Will keep posted guys.

  • Microsoft Security Essentials icon, absent from the taskbar after restarting Windows XP

    original title: lack of Windows XP icons after restart

    After that I restarted my antivirus, Microsoft Security Essentials icon is missing from the taskbar. It also happened when I have ESET NOD32 installed. When I disable the SSDP Discovery Service, in the section of the Admin, it will appear. But when I go back and set it to automatic, it will still be absent.

    For all that is you probably not need to have running SSDP Discovery Service, for security reasons almost always disable this service on any system that I put in place.

  • No network connection to the virtual computer after migration manually to the new host

    We have added six new hosts to our environment, and I was tasked to test connections of VIRTUAL LAN on each of them before we move VM production of their.  This is probably a simple problem, but I am new to VMWare and need help.  I already talked to our network guys, and he assures me that the physical switches are setup and working properly.  We work a vDS.

    I'm testing 14 VLANs on six new hosts.  All but one are constantly working.  (They all work on the hosts of origin which were in force before.)  I have a static IP configuration on my test VM and MAC is set to automatic.  I checked the MAC does not change when you migrate to other hosts and the VLAN correct is listed in the settings the VM network (it is not empty).  Him VLAN will work on three of the six hosts, but not all at the same time.  The strange thing is that guests at work are constantly changing.  For example, this morning hosts11, 12 and 14 may work, but this afternoon, that could change at hosts12, 14 and 16.  I don't understand why they would change on their own.

    My test consists of VM testing, migration manually, powering back, then he ping from my computer off.  Of course everything works when I get ping responses.  When I get no answers, the test of the virtual machine has a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon in the system tray.

    What should I do to fix this?

    How is the network configured?  You have a different NIC port/cable for each VLAN or Trunking used on the side of the switch?

    If you use circuits on the side of the switch, then your GRPE ports virtual switch a VLAN ID needs to match the vlan is underway to shared resources.  No matter if it's a standard switch or switch distributed... you still need this ID of vlan.

    I've seen the random question that you encounter if missing one or more of of the uplinks on the side of the switch the VLAN.

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  • Start icon disappears from the taskbar. Command prompt concludes that he cannot fix corrupted files.

    My power icon disappeared from my taskbar after a reboot. Following the advice of the Forum I turned on command prompt and asked the sfc/scannow.

    After a long search, I received notification that there were a few corrupted files and not all could be fixed. This had occurred previously in 2012.

    After a security alert, security, I downloaded the program named Emet. After reading more below in the Microsoft forum, I found the comments which Emet

    may damage files. I decided to uninstall Emet. When I finished that I discovered that the Emet icon has disappeared from the taskbar along

    with the battery icons and a few other icons. I took my Asus laptop at Best Buy and the tech there called a Microsoft service don't. and

    has got instructions to restore the missing icons using the appropriate record. It was in summer 2012. When I stopped my laptop Sunday, December 21, 13

    and then reopened Tuesday, December 23, 13 I found that, once more, my power icon had disappeared from the notification area. The correspondent

    subprogrammes in the control panel for the management of the icons in the notification area were inoperative for the icon of power and a few others. This

    was the exact situation I had in 2012, about 16 months ago.

    After failing to solve the problem with the command prompt, I thought I would ask for help. For the moment, I managed without going through the power icon

    presented at the center of mobility in the office and after having pinned the control panel to the taskbar on the right.

    Hi Ronald,.

    When you first start a new computer, the operating system typically runs Startup service initializations that can take anywhere from one to six hours to finish, depending on which applications are preloaded on the computer. Make sure that you give the operating system sufficient time to finish these Startup service initializations until you stop or restart the computer. This problem generally not happen once the operating system has completed initialization of all before background services is restarted.

    I suggest you refer to the following article which has a few registry tweaks to solve the problem. Please follow the steps and check out them.

    Hello

    I see that you have switched from Vista to XP.

    First of all I recommend you update the BIOS.
    As I m not wrong on the European driver Toshiba page, you should find a newer version of the BIOS.

    You will need to upgrade Win XP to the last State.
    The XP must be up-to-date and all service packs, hotfixes and patches MS must be installed in your laptop.

    Access the Device Manager, and then score in each USB hub root, you must disable the option called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    You can find this option in the properties-> tab power management
