New flexible deployed network adapters

Hello

I use the library 'Clone, Linux with multiple NICs' item as part of a workflow. My model is a linux VM with 1 NIC (VMXNET), but I usually deploy VMs with 2 or 3 network cards. However, these additional NETWORK cards is created with the type 'Flexible '.

The workflow, to the Network Config Spec box device, there is a "Get VirtualEthernet several devices", which has the following variables:

nic1Type, nic2Type, nic3Type, nic4Type.

I create a new attribute (string) for the workflow and set the value ""VirtualVmxnet3 "for her (found the name here: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.device.VirtualVmxnet3.html ) "

Then I assign this attribute to nic1Type, nic2Type, nic3Type, nic4Type

If I run the workflow, network cards are flexible again.

What I'm missing here to get a specific type additional network cards?

Thanks in advance

Hello!

If I read correctly the workflow "To get multiple changes in VirtualEthernetCard device", this workflow only uses the type specified to identify existing maps.

If it creates new network cards, they will be always flexible (he always calls the "getVirtualPcNet32" action).

Works as expected.

So I guess you need to build your own workflow clone, by duplicating the original clone workflow and the original "get multiple devices VirtualEthernet" and change the latter to create vmxnet3 adapters.

See you soon,.

  • No compatible network adapters were found - UCSC C220 M3S

    Hi all

    I'm a little new to Cisco servers so here my question.

    I tried to install esxi on our new server C220 M3S.

    But after installation I'm coming to the esxi screen, it says "no compatible network adapters found. Please consult... "

    Any suggestions to what could be the problem?

    I tried to install different versions of the custom image to esxi Cisco (5.5 5.1 5.0) with the same result.

    Hi Thomas,

    It is possible that the optionROM for the integrated card is not activated.  Try to enable it in the BIOS, you can do so via the MMIC (see attached cimc_enable_optionrom). You also want to verify that this option gets enable in the bios.  You can enter the bios by pressing f2 during boot (see BIOS_Option_ROM)

    Also if these are disable, you need to browse again the installation.   See the custom image link below for ESXi 5.5 Cisco.  I noticed that you are using ESXi 5.5 Update 1, but this is not yet supported.

    Download CISCO Custom Image for ESXi 5.5.0 GA

  • vSphere Console screen settings of network adapters

    Hi, by ILO to the vSphere config screen one can configure the network adapters for network management, IP, DNS, etc hostname. It is very good for the initial installation.

    After you add the vCenter Server network adapters are bound to a distributed switch. After that if an ILO is to vSphere config screen, once more parameters can be played, however maps / NETWORKS VLAN cannot be edited/seen that options are greyed out, while all others can be edited.

    If he server is removed from the broadcast switch and disconnected from vCenter is no differencem, including a new start.

    Why this happens, and what is the resolution for display network assigned to the network adapters?

    Thank you

    A distributed switch is a construction of vCenter - make changes is therefore, outside of the authority of a single host. DCUI configuration settings are mainly there to get an operational host after installation, do not to make changes after that that he has been set up and added to vCenter.

    If you choose the option 'restore a standard switch', it will demolish the host from the distributed switch and restore a standard switch of style "vSwitch0' with generic management options. You can then change settings again the DCUI. This is mainly used for troubleshooting.

    Hello

    I'm new on the VMware virtualization software and work on implementing the vSphere environment. I'm on the initial phase of installation 5.0 ESXi and start using an ESXi installation the CD but it throws an error "not found network adapters".

    I use the Intel Desktop Board DH67CL LAN support:

    LAN support

    Subsystem Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mb / s) using the Intel® 82579V Gigabit Ethernet Controller

    Instead of using the default NIC, we can also work with the addition of some NIC commonly available to the motherboard that is compatible with the 5.0.would of VMware ESXi, it works very well? If yes you make you recoomend to that effect?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    82579v drivers can be added to the installation cd, to support your integrated card.

  • How many network adapters I - ESXi 4.1 with iSCSI

    I was wondering if someone could help me give a sense the news I read on # NIC for ESXi 4.1.  I came across the following article, but I'm not sure I understand all parts of traffic that he speaks:

    http://livingonthecloud.blogspot.com/2009/09/ESXi-networking-best-practices.html

    At the moment I have 6 cards 1 GB on each of my 3 servers.  I connect to my SAN via iSCSI, so I know I'm going to need at least 2 of these network adapters for that traffic. I know I'll need at least 2 NICs for connection between my ESXi server and my switch to the network of the VM.  What I don't understand is what I really need for the VMKernel FT, VMkernal Vmotion and VMKernal the Network Administration.  I do not plan on using Vmotion very often at all, so I'm not concerned about its impact on my network.

    Any advice?  I need to replace my double NICs with Quad NIC card or is it exaggerated?

    The management doesn't have a dedicated network card. It can share the network with virtual machines cards.

    In this case the following configuration would be interesting:

    vSwitch0: (3 NIC uplinks) (assuming vmnic0, vmnic1 vmnic2)

    Port group 1 - networking (vmnic0 and vmnic1-> active vmnic2,-> stand-by)

    Port group 2 - network of the VM (vmnic0 and vmnic1-> active vmnic2,-> stand-by)

    Port 3 - VM Network Group (vmnic0 and vmnic1-> stand-by, vmnic2-> active)-for the "Pervasive SQL.

    vSwitch1: (1 NIC/uplink)

    Port group 1 - VMkernel for vMotion on a separate network (192.168.x.x)

    vSwitch2: (2 cards network/links rising)

    configuration by following the best practices of your iSCSI storage provider

    In this way the "Pervasive SQL" would have a dedicated NIC (vmnic2) and may switch to another NETWORK card in the event of disruption of the network.

  • Advice on how best to configure the network adapters and virtual switch in ESX host

    I'm new to VMware and am its implementation.  I got my training a few weeks ago, and now I'm configing my hosts.  I have 3 guests, each have 2 network cards.  There is a virtual switch that ESX creates when it is installed (vSwtich0).  The books said that it is advisable to delete the VM network port of virtual machine that is assigned to the value group default virtual switch and put it on another virtual switch so that you keep your management network separated from the network of the vm for performance and security.  If I do this, all my virtual machines will have to go to 1 NIC b/c I only have 2 NICs per host.  I thought that I have just to keep all my groups of ports on the default vSwitch0 and add my second NETWORK adapter so that I can take advantage of the Association of NICs for redundancy and load balancing.  However, I'm not sure on the performance and the security risks.  Do you have any ideas or advice?  I could also create two virtual switches and put my virtual machines on one which would have a NETWORK card dedicated and put my service and Kernal VM console on another virtual switch with a dedicated network card.  However, in this scenario, I have no fault tolerance or load balancing.  We are a small shop and we have about 10-15 VMs on each host.  I don't have access to b/c distributed switching we paid only for the company (not more).  Thank you.

    Hi and welcome to the forums,

    With 10-15 VMs per box and I guess that I would seriously consider adding two extra cards for each host in the production machines. You could then do something like:

    vSwitch0 - vmnic0, vmnic2, vmnic3 - Console of Service, VM LAN network

    vSwitch1 - vmnic1 - VMkernel

    That would give you redundancy and performance to access your hosts (SC) and also for all your virtual machines. The VMkernel would get a NETWORK card dedicated for vMotion and could be on a separate network. He didn't need redundancy really as if the NIC sank the only issue is that you cannot vmotion virtual machines. In this case you would just move one of the NIC workgroup through to those switches manually.

    If you only have 2 network cards, then I would say having a vSwitch with two attached network adapters and VLAN the VMkernel may be off. I want absolutely to the redundancy of having two cards together.

    Hope this helps,

  • Network adapters: Microsoft Windows Mobile remote adapter causes the Windows 7 upgrade to fail.

    Network adapters: Microsoft Windows Mobile remote adapter causes the Windows 7 upgrade to fail.

    I did everything to prepare for the upgrade. The Upgrade Advisor says it all right. But I get the message that this network adapter is a problem. It does not appear in device menager even under hidden objects, so I can't uninstall or update.

    It is obviously a problem for more than two years. Why is there not a difficulty now, or at least a well validated response that meets this situation rather than simply repeat the statement to execute the Advisor (done) or update the driver (which is impossible because the card network can not be found)?

    Hello

    You can try these:

    Step 1:

    a. click the Start button.

    (b) in the search box type devmgmt.msc and then press ENTER.

    c. find under the "Mobile Devices" "Microsoft USB Sync" node. If this is not present, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, right click "Microsoft USB Sync" and choose "Uninstall".

    When you connect your USB phone, it should appear in the device under Mobile Device Manager. Education invites you to look out there and if you find Microsoft USB Sync, uninstall it. If she is not there, go to the next step.

    Step 2:

    Disconnect, and then reconnect your device. Your device driver will be re - install and launch Windows Mobile Device Center.
