Network mapping network Vsphere VCD

Hello

So I'm new to VCD and try to understand best practices on how to map vcd networks return to networks vsphere.

I'll start with the external network.

In my vsphere network I already have a distributed with several groups of ports of production.  This distributed switch is supported by 2 natachasery starting from each host.  The natachasery connect to the ports of shared resources pswitch that allows traffic on all VLANs.

To set up my network external vcd.  Should I start with a new Distributed Switch groups port dedicated for the vcd?  If so, I guess I would need to devote natachasery to this new dvs?  I guess this new 'external network' should have no access to my production network?

So what I think.

1. new DS with a Teddy connected to my cisco switch.

2. place a single vlan on that port to pswitch coming out just through my firewall to the internet.

3. create the Group of ports on this new distributed switch

3. create my vcd external network to use this port group who has access only to the vlan that comes out to the internet.  No connectivity to my network of vsphere production?

Again, I am new to vcd so feel free to offer a completely different solution.  I'm tryin to figure out how the vsphere networking should be setup to support these networks of vcd.


Thanks in advance,
Ian

Let me start by asking what is the purpose of this cloud.  Is it to run systems for yourself, or others (such as other companies).

This is a quick setup which I think will be works for many people, or at least as a starting place to get an idea how it goes toghether. I used it as a whole little clouds which was a private cloud, so it has worked well for the needs could help by giving you a start.

In VCenter

Unique DVS

4 cards network uplink on DVS

dvPortGroup to name VMKernel/VMotion "VMotion" VLAN 11

dvPortGroup to Managment named 'Management' VLAN 10

dvPortGroup to Internet only traffice name "InternetDirect" VLAN 12

dvPortGroup to the name of "VMNetwork" VLAN 13 Normal network traffic

VLAN 14 also install switch as private use to VCNI traffice between fenced of vApp

In VCLoud

2 x network provider in VCD Setup

'Internet only' - pointed the DVS dvPortGroup named 'InternetDirect '.

'Normal network' - pointed the dvPortGroup named 'VMNetwork '.

1 x network pool

'Standard network Pool' - configured to use VNCI on VLAN 14

For each org (we had some, but they are all very easy company)

added 2 networks for each and pointed provider networks

Unless I forget something that that's all we had to do to have a "normal" and the only network Internet and allow VAPP is fenced and have private network segments. -A bit of VLAN, we used could have been consolidated, but we liked the idea of knowing esxi-esxi traffic has been segmented wit ha vlan other speculation.

  • The network entity VCD... specified for VM... does not exist.

    Hello world

    Using VCD 1.5, initiating a paralytic template works fine for me. Adding a virtual machine to an existing empty paralytic was a next task, but I tried to recompose the VAPP without success.

  • Network [vSphere 4.1] load balancing and failover vMotion

    GoodMorning everyone.

    I have some doubts about the configuration of the network for vMotion in vSphere 4.1

    I know that I can activate a single portgroup VMkernel for vMotion on the single host, but can I have this portgroup in a vSwitch with two or more physical NIC attached.

    Currently, I managed to have a vSwtich with vMotion and management of trade wth two NICs (see attachment).

    Both NICs works very well with the recovery for both exchanges.

    I would switch to a vSwitch with multiple network cards and I have some doubts.

    It seems that I could configure it... but the load balancer for vMotion supported on vSphere 4.1?

    And also, have the protgroup of vMotion in a switch with several network cards, is there a way to check what physical nic is currently used by vMotion?

    I am currently under a license from the company.

    Thank you all for your help.

    vMotion for vSphere pre 5 does not support Multi-NIC, in vSphere 5, you can configure several VMKernel enable vMotion and select different Nic Active and load balance between the two vmnic, but unfortunately not in vSphere 4.x

    For the management of ESXi, if you set active on both network adapters, you not to cross any active advantage / standby because it will only use on vmNIC, unless there is still a failure... but 1 vmNIC just because bandwidth is usually not a problem for the ESXi management only.

    So the answer: upgrade to vSphere 5 for multi-nic vMotion and don't worry ESXi management as an active NETWORK card is more than enough bandwidth,.

    Here's a YouTube on the Multi-NIC vMotion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7njBRF2N0Z8 configuration

    Hello

    I need clear instructions on how to map a USB dongle to a virtual guest with VSphere 5.

    I was hoping it would be as easy as mappping a CD but that doesn't seem to be the case.

    If I insert the USB into a free USB port on the physical ESX Server and then access the VSphere client and select the "Connect to the USB device" icon, I have three options: 1 DigitalPersona Validity Sensor, 2 top Android phone and 3.  Sunplus Innovation HP Webcam HD.

    Should I be selecting one of them? Should I do something else first?

    Any advice would be very appreociated.

  • ESXi 5 - vsphere: private network creation

    Hello

    I have an esxi Server 5 with a single physical network adapter.

    I want to create a VM with:

  • Strange host Networking question

    I have a vmware host in a cluster. The strange thing is that all of a sudden when I go to configuration-> network-> vsphere standard switch, I'm not able to see the VMkernel Port with the IP address assigned to the vmkernel port used to connect to the host to the cluster.

    I have attached two files. screenshot1 comes from other vmware host in the cluster which seems correct that screenshot2 however is the host that is not look right. I can always ping the address which does not appear in the vmkernel port and I can connect to this address using the vsphere client. WTH?

    A help is appreciated.

    Thank you very much

    as you go to the standard switch configuration:

    configuration--> network--> switch vsphere standard

    There you have a tab with distributed switch:

  • closed ground of networks

    Hi all

    new trying to unravel the networks of vCD.

    I have an environment which has routable ip vlan to our production / test networks.

    i.e.

    VLAN xx is accessible from the two PROD / TEST networks.

    As such, I believe that my servers in the vApps must have external addresses using the address IP VLAN xx and the internal components, which I'm not too worried about what they are.

    Currently all attempts for it to work I get the same segments on both internal / external addressed the VAPP deployed servers.

    Can someone advise this as the correct network pool / org networks should be?

    My thoughts tell me I should use an INTERNAL ROAD network. (I could be away from track here).

    PS. There is no requirement for this publication to users on the internet that is only required internally. (where my thoughts on internal networks).

    Hello

    The reason why your vApps have the same IP range as the external subnet is probably because they are direct connect. This has the advantage that a 1:1 NAT will automatically be configured for each virtual computer in vApp - just like LabManager used to do. The downside is that it uses your 'real' as opposed to some private addresses addresses.

    If you use the network of Org - then this will give the ability to set private for the inside of the network addresses and don't use not external addresses. If it is a scenario of test/development lab - then you should probably have a network config where you have a routed network of Org external with a crowd of TS/RDP inside. Configure the firewall on the routed network external vShield Edge to allow RDP to this server. This will act as a single server TS/RDP common for the project, and then you can have several vApps closed within this network that would have automatically generated 1:1 NAT. This would allow the duplication of vApps within the project with IP addresses in double etc... while allowing users to access all of the laboratories within the project via the box jump TS/RDP.

  • Dynamically choose vSphere objects based on user input

    I have currently a workflow wrapper that will automate the deployment of a vCD vOrg, OrgVDC, Org Admin, and even go up to create a Port dvSwitch group in a go. The idea is to standardize our deployments and set default values. Currently, various outfits of the attributes (vCloud:VmwNetworkPool, VC:VmwareDistributedVirtualSwitch, etc.) are hard coded to match vCloud/vSphere Manager instance registered with vCO. I take this workflow with other data centres, or try to get the work of several nodes plugin vCO and invite the user to a place (DSB, STL, etc) and have these hard-coded values to change to match the appropriate data center.

    I suppose that this would be via a Scriptable job (probably with a switch/case statement) - but I'm pretty lost on how to set the attributes for the real objects of vSphere/vCD. Any ideas?

    All of these values hard-coded (attributes) should have their values set in the Configuration... in this way items, the only change required site to site's values in the elements of your config, not across all workflows. That's what are configuration items for

  • VM Console goes black after installing NVIDIA drivers

    Hello

    I have the NVIDIA K2 maps in vSphere 6.  Once I installed the NVIDIA drivers on the virtual machine to Windows 7, I can no longer connect using the VM console in vSphere.  RDP is the workaround.  The NVIDIA Deployment Guide says that I have to change the settings and increase the memory in the virtual video card.  I tried 9 MB, 32 MB, and 128 MB.  None of them worked.  Any ideas what I can try next?  Thanks in advance.

    Yes, as stated, this behavior is expected.  My experience has been to install the following in order:

    Install the following in the order by using the console to generate gold VM

    (1) base OS

    2) VMware Tools, reboot

    (3) configure the network domain and other options according to your needs.

    3) VMware Agent, reboot

    (4) direct connection plugin VMware.  Shutdown VM

    (5) add a vGPU device, power on VM

    VC will display the IP address of the virtual machine, use View Client to connect directly to the IP address of the VM.

    (6) Windows meet the new device and prompt to reboot.  Given that the driver gets installed next step, click on no.

    (7) download and install the NVidia driver.  You can get disconnected, reconnect to the session.  Reset during the installation of the drivers NVidia shows

    8) reconnect via a direct connection, right click on the desktop and bring up the NVidia Control Panel.  Enter license needed (M60 only) information.

    (9) in NVidia Control Panel click on the adjustment of the Image settings with preview.  You should see a rotating logo of NVidia.

    (10) at this point, vGPU is configured and ready to install additional software and generate your snapshot for creating pools.

  • groups of ports DV in vcenter 5.0

    Hello

    I would like to get the list of dv-trade in vCenter 5.0 that is associated with a switch particular dv. Can someone guide me how we can get it.

    Also is there anyway to get a list of network vSphere (exchanges) in vCD with its external networks or groups of ports alone.

    Let me know is there possible way with samples if anyone has.

    Thank you

    If you have vmware installed power cli, try the command for the Group dvport in dvswitch, the list below

    If you have several dv switch and pull information GRPE particular dv switch ports, try below.

    #Connectez viserver (vcservername)

  • Vdirector and VM vapps

    Hi, I am new to vdirector and we are trying to run the application as a test / staging env for teams of pd. but we are not sure how best to supply our Oracle VM,

    whenever we create a new TIME with an oracle vm and we change the name of the oracle server, we are unable to connect with the root of the linux server admin password. We are also unable to acess the oracle DB for a reason any

    My question is are capable of changes to the oracle DB for the name of the server script etc. otherwise what would be the best way to automate these changes.

    I guess there is another application that allows people to do or another.

    any help would be great

    I thought that I would be you informed of my progress. I gave up on closed networks as it doesn't seem to work as I expected it would be.

    However, I found a nice solution to the question you have.

    I have a requirement for 3 VLANs to vmware, so I'll guide you what I was doing.

    I have Setup 3 exchanges dv on a dvs switch all backed against local networks virtual vmware.

    From there, I set up 3 external networks in vcd

    I have Setup 3 networks directly connected org to each of VLAN.

    Then when the construction vApps and adding each machine config you can add VAPP networks with the local address ranges.

    After you have configured the VAPP you can connect the VAPP networks directly connected networks org. In turn, this gives your machines, an addressing scheme internal / external.

    for my purposes I wanted to a corresponding model 1 to 1 against the VLAN ip vmware supported intellectual property (this is the important part for the oracle client)

    so for each virtual machine, I had a scenario as follows.

    external ip 10.10.10.1 address (vlan visible IP)

    internal 192.168.10.1 ip address (ip server VAPP scheme)

    I like to keep the last 2 octects corresponding (i.e. 10.1) so easy to see how works the nat mapping.

    After you have completed each VAPP network config goto page of vApp networking machine. You can configure NAT / firewall rules by selecting the TIME in the right pane on the left side of the pane, right-click.

    This effectively means you can test the 10.10.10.1 address of external in vcd and get a success. As a result, your customers oracle would have entered TNSNAMES 10.10.10.1 who solves on the NAT router for servers IP 192.168.10.1 real

    I hope this helps. Don't hesitate to hang me up with a few spikes :-)

  • Design of dashboard Exchange

    What is the logical method for creating a dashboard customized for exchange users only?  I only grant permissions to the property that I want to allow administrators Exchange display?  For example, machines virtual Exchange, Exchange clusters, hosts, disks, etc. etc. etc.?

    Thank you.

    Environment ---->custom groups--->New Group (Group to choose a Type = function) was from there, you can complete manually or if your Exchange servers are labeled in VSphere you can dynamically create members of the Group (which is really best) using the VSphere tag.

  • Migration VMkernel VDS1 to VDS2 e-cards

    What is the best way to add VMkernel virtual cards when a host migration using VDS vCenter1 to vCenter2? I have attached a sample script that I use for the process. The last command Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter fails with an error "value cannot be null.

    For background, I have a source vCenter Server (version 5.0) and a target vCenter Server (version 5.5). I have a hot migration from a host that uses VDS between vCenter1 and vCenter2. If I run the script step by step, everything works as expected until the command Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter. I can then complete the process manually by using the following in the vSphere Client process:

    Hosts and Clusters-> select host-> Configuration-> network-> vSphere Distributed Switch-> manage e-cards (for the appropriate VDS)-> add-> existing migration of virtual cards

    After completing the manual steps above, I can then remap the VMs and then remove the old VDS (which no longer exists).

    Something like that

    $vdpgNames = 'Network management', 'Network storage', 'vMotion Network. "

    $vdpg = get-VDPortgroup-name $vdpgNames - VDSwitch $TargetVDS

    Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter - DistributedSwitch $TargetVDS - VMHostPhysicalNic $vmhostNetworkAdapter - VirtualNicPortgroup $vdpg - VMHostVirtualNic $vmk0, $vmk1, $vmk2 - confirm: $false
