NIC teaming + with leaves HP VirtualConnect and Cisco load balancing

Hello

I configure ESX infrastructure running on the blades HP (c7000 enclosure), VirtualConnect and Cisco 3750 switches for the uplink. My network configuration is based on the HP VirtualConnnect Cookbook, scenario 11.

On the ESX Server, I configured a vSwitch with two NICs grouped. Each card can see a different network of VirtualConnect. Each VC network has active SmartLink.

Each network of VirtualConnect is associated with two ports on a Bay of VC. These two ports are the uplinks in Cisco 3750 switches. Cisco switches are configured in a pile, and each port associated with the VC network is configured with LACP.

Here are the facts:

-Each network (Host A and host B) is properly configured for the LACP Protocol, in other words, the links are shown as active/active in the VC Manager.

-Communication of ESX is good.

-Failover and failback function OK.

The problem: I can't get the load balancer to work. All virtual machines use a single bear. I tried different algorithms on the server ESX (source port ID, mac, IP hash hash) and the configuration of the equivalent from Cisco.

I have attached a diagram of the physical network, but also the setting to ports.

What Miss me? Thank you very much

Pablo

Because you want to create technically not a channel in an ESX perspective, you do want to use the hash of the IP.  If ESX attempts to send traffic through the two network cards, the cisco switch should drop this package as part of its loop avoidance algorithms.  You should be able to check that out in the switch port statistics.  You should not use the switch port ID.

Not sure about the promiscuous mode.  Who do not have any account, as far as load balancing is concerned, unless the portgroup was not properly inherit the vSwitch properties?

  • NIC teaming on ESX 5.1 and NGC failover

    Hi all

    A quick question. I know I read it before, but I can't find the reference again once. What is the recommended setting between allow vNic activate failover on cisco UCS and strategy setting on ESX 5.1 of the network?

    I know that I had read somewhere when the grouping of network cards is configured on ESX failover authorized UCS, ESX goes haywire if a path is lost the UCS.

    Our installation program running on UCS 2.04 Manager has with a mixture of blades M2 and M3 with M81kr and 1240/1280 cards respectively.

    Never use a fabric with a hypervisor vswitch failover. Let the failover of the vSwitch handle network failure mechanism.

    For ESX once you have two NICs attached to the vSwitch or a DVS it will automatically load balance and failover. You don't want you combine this with the UCS fabric failover.

  • NIC teaming with the IP hash load balancing

    Hi guys

    I have a virtual machine with a VMXNET3 10 Gbps. It is usually have a heavy traffic with a special server and saturate one of my two physical NIC of 1 Gbps in its PortGroup. I want to know what's going to happen if I turn on "NIC Teaming for this portgroup with basic IP hash load balancing". In my case the source IP address and destination are not change so the aggregates of traffic between my two physical network adapters?

    To avoid saturating completely the two 1GbE NIC, it can also be useful to look in charge based on the grouping and the NIOC. It will ensure that the other streams of traffic VM are not crushed by this machine a virtual when it saturates a network card. The disadvantage is that it requires Enterprise Plus licenses (using a dvSwitch).

  • Override the port NIC teaming with powercli group?

    Hi all

    Any chance you could lend a hand?

    I have a powercli script that goes out to all of my ESX 4.0 host and add a new port group to vswitch1 with a new VLAN ID. That works well, but I also need to override the NIC teaming on this port group, to set an active NIC and the other to be the backup. (we put NIC failover port groups not the vswitches).

    I see ways to change NIC vswitches grouping settings, but am yet to find a way to change the settings of the NIC collection for groups of ports themselves with powercli?

    Can someone shine a light?

    Thank you

    Try something like:

    Get-VirtualPortGroup-name '' | Get-NicTeamingPolicy | Game-NicTeamingPolicy - MakeNicActive "vmnic1" - MakeNicStandby "vmnic0".

    I hope this helps!

    Hi Vincent,.

    in this case, if the regulatory domain of the APs is different, consider that the WLC accept associations from the country set APs:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/wireless/controller/7.0/Configuration/Guide/c70lwap.html#wpxref84219

    You will see this in him debugs I sent you before.

    So, if you manage APs EI (ETSI, European) and - a (FCC, US) APs on the same WLC, you need to enable at least two country codes, one for each regulatory domain.

    Please also remember that the APs should be used on the countries they have been approved to in order to comply with local regulations.

    Thank you

  • Vary the size of the host and the load balancing

    I have a 4 4-host ESX cluster that is almost the maximum ability to manage virtual machines ~ 80 (and growing).  The hosts are configured with 4 to 8 cores and 32 GB of RAM each.  RAM is currently the bottleneck; Processor is not far behind.  I plan to replace one of the hosts with a much larger machine, 12 cores, 96 GB of RAM.  If a host is significantly larger than the other hosts in a cluster, DRS will still do a good job of load balancing?  I guess the DRS will place multiple virtual machines on the host to the largest.  Is there a risk of DRS. putting too many virtual machines on the largest node?

    Until the cluster is in CVS mode, or processors are compatible vmotion, you can vary the size of the resource of physical machines in the cluster.  DRS will try to balance the load, the better it can over all cluster resources.  Depending on your level of DRS aggressive, improving to a particular machine in terms of past performance is considered, so more that likely, that you will have more vm on the host of the largest.

  • Monitoring of Tuxedo 9.1 and RAC load balancing?

    Hi all

    I wrote this question in the old forum that BEA [http://forums.bea.com/thread.jspa?threadID=300006084] and now I have more question about monitoring in a tuxedo with RAC load balancing:

    How can I control in a tuxedo with RAC load balancing?
    How can I verify that the tuxedo load balancing is running correctly?
    How can I know that this group using my requests?

    We need to know if the query uses the instance ORARAC1 (groups of GRP_A1 and GRP_A2) or
    use failure ORARAC2 (groups of GRP_B1 and GRP_B2).

    There is a tool (same txrpt) that displays this information in a Tuxedo 9.1?

    Thanks in advance

    P.D.: Excuse my English

    Hello

    How can I control in a tuxedo with RAC load balancing?

    You can use the tmadmin pq and ESP see work queue of orders and the work done by each server.

    How can I verify that the tuxedo load balancing is running correctly?

    What do you mean by properly? This is an area where many clients think that Tuxedo isn't the load balancing, but in fact it is. In general, Tuxedo will select the first server offering a service that does all work queued to it. If all servers have jobs queued, then Tuxedo will select the server with the least amount of work waiting in line. Specifically, this means that if the system is not enough charge, the first server in the list of servers offering service will receive all applications. Note that this is what happens in a single machine and no data dependent routing and routing CARS in the picture. With data dependent routing or TUXRACGROUPS defined, the algorithm is similar, but the possible servers to consider are limited according to the setting of data dependent routing or TUXRACGROUPS as explained in the note on the other.

    How can I know that this group using my requests?

    Without TSAM (Tuxedo system) and Application Monitor, it will be nearly impossible to tell which groups and servers a particular request was sent to. What you trying to accomplish?

    We need to know if the query uses the instance ORARAC1 (groups of GRP_A1 and GRP_A2) or
    use failure ORARAC2 (groups of GRP_B1 and GRP_B2).

    Without changes to the application or using TSAM, it's going to be very hard to say. Why is it important for your application?

    Hello

    I installed ESXi on an IBM ThinkServer TD100x and that you have created two VM, Windows 2003 Std (32 bit) and Windows Server 2008.

    Both were works well on the network and the ping requests until I have configure Cisco Channel ether using the road based on the source mac hash. The Windows 2003 VM worked very well and was still on the network, but the Windows 2008 VM loses network connectivity, couldn't out ping.

    Are there known issues with Windows 2008 and grouping of NETWORK cards?

    You will need to use the hash of the IP with Etherchannel (manual), LACP (static) or 802.3ad (static) trunking.

    Hi all

    We have an active EVC cluster (vCenter 4.1 /. ESXi4.1) with 490c G6 HP blades. Now, we want to add new 490c G7 HP blades.

    It works without problem in clusters without dvSwitches. In clusters with a dvSwitch, as soon as we add the new host of the dvSwitch, or do any other operation dvSwitch, the new blade Gets a GROUP:

    "#PF exception in the world 4129:helper11 - 0 IP addr 0x417f8011000 0x41802656686c 14.

    If you start the server it CMTF again. If you remove the pole one ESX departure once again, it works, until you try to do an operation on the side the dvSwitch ESX. You will need to do a fresh install on this blade for the ESX Server.

    Everyone makes the same expirience?

    Hello

    As you install apps from the CPU on the server of the UCS, speech application team listed their recommendations here.

    http://docwiki.Cisco.com/wiki/QoS_Design_Considerations_for_Virtual_UC_with_UCS#Guidelines_for_Physical_LAN_Links.2C_Trunking_and_Traffic_Sizing

    You can create a NIC teaming in the ESXi via vSphere client software for traffic from from / destined for virtual machines.

    For C200, we have only one management port and if you use the management for MMIC traffic port, switch option is not available.

    However, if you choose to use host for MMIC traffic NETWORK ports, you can set up CIMC NIC mode for 'LOM shared' which provides the NIC teaming options.
