• Error of grouping of HP network adapters

  After conversion of 2 HP DL360 G5 with NIC team I now get the error when you try to launch the below HP Network Configuration utility:

  "An error has occurred due to invalid data in the xml file that is used by this application.  The XML file has been damaged and needs to be reinstalled from the installation media.

  This has happened on both servers, up to now, I converted and although the lack of consolidation of network cards is not a huge problem, I fear that this is a code that do not have the conversion process a sweetness that it appeared and there may be more corrupted files hidden.

  Anyone know if there is a known issue?

  I am using Stand Alone Converter 4.3

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Hello from the Canada

  After the P2V conversion, you MUST remove all agents of the material of the Virtual Machine that includes the consolidation of NIC from HP, it will not work properly

  on your VM and it can cause a lot of weird problems

  As you can see on this Ko under the section of "Tasks to perform after that conversion is complete" http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004588

  Tasks to perform after that conversion is complete

  After the conversion is completed:

  1. Check the settings of virtual hardware:

     • Adjust the number of virtual network adapters. If you need customize the host name or IP address, leave all network cards present but disconnected.
     • Remove all devices useless such as USB controllers (if you are running on ESX), COM ports, or floppy drive

  2. Start the virtual machine Mode without failure. For more information, see start a guest operating system Windows in SafeMode (1004011).
  3. Click on Start > Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs.  Remove all unnecessary programs used to install or support device, drivers such a RAID, network software of grouping or management, software management of wireless card management tools and drivers audio and video. Do not restart if you are prompted by an uninstall program.
  4. Restart the virtual machine in Normal mode.
  5. Remove additional devices or device drivers that have been used in support of hardware on the physical server. Use the Device Manager or control panel, depending on the version of Windows to remove unnecessary devices. It may also be necessary to view the event log to clear the messages failed rest device startup.
  6. VMware recommends changing the HAL in the uniprocessor virtual machine if the source server is configured with an abstraction layer multi-CPU hardware (HAL), and the destination virtual machine is configured to use a single processor. For more information, see modification of the Abstraction Layer HAL for a Windows virtual machine (1003978).
  7. Install VMware Tools and reboot if you are prompted.
  8. If necessary, customize the identity of the virtual machine. VMware recommends using the Microsoft Sysprep utility to achieve this, however, it can also be achieved by manually changing the host name, IP address, and any other record of unique identification. For more information, see How to use Sysprep: An Introduction http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457073.aspx.
  9. If the System Configuration Utility (msconfig) has been used before the conversion, select Normal startup switch to return to a normal boot configuration. For more information, see using the Windows System Configuration utility (1004010).
  10. Apply any previously deleted static parameters IP address, as requires it.
  11. Reconnect any disconnected NIC virtual, as required.

• 6.2.5 ReadyNAS 104 firmware update is not displayed for ethernet network adapters > links

  I recently updated my ReadyNAS to 6.2.5 firmware 1.04 and the network > links page does not appear any ethernet cards. I recycled the box several times but still no information of the card. Because I can navigate to the page to admin (via IP address), the network works. However, it does not appear in the DNS so I would check the configuration but impossible because no card shows eth. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  I finally solve this by manually installing the 6.2.5 new update. Seemed to have solved any problem occurred during automatic update.

• Intel NETWORK adapters 4-Port unknown

  I recently installed VMware vSphere 4 ESXi custom on a T610 Dell Dell.  I used the custom construction of Dell, 181792.  This server has 2 Broadcom network adapters on board and a 4 Port 1Gbe Intel NIC after installation, I noticed that the Intel NETWORK card did not show upward.

  So, I used the tool to update host and installed (vmware-esx-drivers-net-igb_400.1.3.19.12.1-1.0.4.164009.185976) Intel NETWORK card drivers.  These installed fine and when I rebooted, I see 4 network cards.  But instead of listening to the make and model above the NICs, it shows them as 'unknown '.

  Is it nothing to worry?  What he would show the map in this way?  I'm not entirely sure of what piece it has on it, as far as I know is the part of Dell:

  "Copper Intel Quad port x 4 PCIe GbE NIC card (P/n-H092P)"

  As a side question, I went with the generation of Dell custom that oppose the use of generate 4.0 U1.  What are the advantages/disadvantages to the use of the custom provider built?  I assume of course that the management agents.  But is there a downside?  Any reason why I won't use the generic version instead?

  Thank you.

  There are 2 files used by ESXi for drivers and display names.  /etc/VMware/simple.map tells ESXi which driver to load for PCI devices.   / etc/VMware/PCI. IDS is used to display data in the client vSphere tho console and the vCLI.   Your question is likely the correct data are missing in pci.ids and this is only a cosmetic problem.  As long as the machines received one identifying vmnic and the driver is loaded properly things will work fine.

  It is best to stick with the installation image specific seller that you get the best suppliers of the ICD for the material.  The downside is that these ISOs own tend to lag behind a bit based on their release date.  Updates that you install will include specific CIM providers seller so once you used the vendor install image you will be OK to use the regular updates.

• Grouping of cards NETWORK R710

  Hello everyone,

  I have 4 x R710 server in the company, each has 4 x BCM5709C NIC that I want to do is find the best available solution to aggregate all the network adapters on each server. All servers are in the same network, connected to the same switch, and they mainly run SQL on Windows Server 2008 services. I know that BACS3 support grouping of NETWORK cards. So, I have a few question.

  1. is the dependent solution BACS3 switch or can I use any switch 1 GB?

  2. What is the difference between BACS3 and the LAG switch?

  3. what would be the best solution for the network adapters on the team? It is not a problem to buy the switch that provide you

  Thank you guys!

  Hi Mike,.

  We recommend that you use independent switch. BACS3 offers change, independent and dependent. Although an advantage of LACP has better load balancing when it comes to outbound traffic, there is more complex.  Using modes switch load requires more complex configuration of switches.

  The OFFSET type is a type of load switch and is therefore not recommended. Any type of LACP is dependent, which means that the switch ports must also be configured to match.

  If you use Server 2012, we also recommend that you do not use the BASC and use the MS LBFO (failover and load balancing).  On older versions of MS, it is called simply the Smart Load Balance and Fail-over.

  Although this link is not a MS site, it offers an easy to follow guide to some of your questions as: http://www.aidanfinn.com/?p=14004

• Question about the collection of NETWORK adapters for vMotion / VM vSwitch

  Hello

  We use vSphere Enterprise Edition 5.1.

  We also create separate vSwitch for management / vMotion and VM.

  Each vSwitch receives 2 network cards connected to the different switch for redundancy.

  We would like to know is necessary to provide the collection of NETWORK adapters for these vSwitches?  Currently, only enable us NIC Teaming for VM vSwitch only.

  Thank you

  VSwitch vMotion, we have 2 assigned NIC (nic2 and nic6) with 10 VLANS.  NIC2 and nic6 are connected to 2 different physical switches.

  Should I choose

  (1) both are active

  (2) both are assets + grouping of NETWORK cards?

  Question - if there is only 1 VLAN, it seems that NIC Teaming is also not very useful unless we use 2 VLAN (Multi-NIC vMotion).  Is this right?

  If you use Multi-NIC vMotion, there is no need to have two different VLANS, all you need is depending on configuration

  on your vMotion switch, please create two vmkernel port for vMotion with the same VLAN ID, but the grouping of NETWORK cards as below

  vMotion_1 - VLAN ID: 10

  Grouping of NETWORK cards

  vmnic2 - active

  vmnic6 - watch

  vMotion_2 - VLAN ID: 10

  vmnic6 - active

  vmnic2 - watch

• Network adapters and VLAN (optional) shaded in DCUI

  I'm studying for my VCP exam and I use a nested in workstation installation. Suddenly I don't have access to the network adapters in the DCUI. I've migrated the two network interface cards used for the management of a group of management vmkernel ports in a distributed switch.

  Anyone know what is happening here? Google gave me this indication Configure networking Greyed in DCUI
  

  But in my case, the hosts are always connected to vCenter and work fine no problems anywhere.

  

  As you migrate your management VMkernel service VDS, all virtual switch tasks, including managament VMkernel configuration interfaces / VLAN must be done on vDS and not on ESXi.

• Grouping of active/active network adapters

  I have two 6509 cisco switch

  I have configured the two physical network adapters on ESX 4.1 as active/active and they are connected to a NIC in each switch.

  That way I have more flow?

  How ESX handles the traffic in the pool of active/active NETWORK adapters?

  NickHorton wrote:

  As I understand it, (even once that caveat, not a network) you cannot extend a vswitch on switch ports without a violation of the spanning tree protocols that disables anything but a port UNLESS your links aggregation switches battery cross. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.

  You are right. There is some confusion of terms only.

  There is a network standard called 802.3ad (working group name) or 802.1AX (real name now, but the name sticks around the working group.) This explains how two units may group several links together and logically to treat them as one. On Cisco switches, this is called an 'association' on the HP Procurve switches, this is called a 'trunk', and on most servers, this is called a "NIC team." On ESX, it is called "IP hash.

  Both parties must be configured to do so, otherwise the same MAC address is displayed both on different ports and this would cause various problems, including trouble of Spanning Tree, but also other things.

  The 802.3ad has two modes, a static configuration, or dynamics of the aggregation of links. The static method is quite simple, the two sides should only be configured manually. When you use dynamic a certain protocol called LACP is used to negotiate it. Cisco also has its own propertiary Protocol PaGP that does the same thing.

  The host ESX/ESXi only has support for aggregation of static links, so this must also be set on the side of the physical switch.

  The 802.3ad/802.1AX does not specify HOW loads should be balanced across the available links. It is up to the different units to decide and it could very well be different on two sides of it without problem.

  Various switches (physics and also the Vmware vSwitch) uses a method that includes IP addresses in the source and the destination to choose a NIC out this load balancing works well and is quite simple to do, but the boundaries a session between two periods of investigation to a single network adapter. If the connection fails, it will go to another.

  Some switches have the possibiliy to use more advanced algorithms to do this, including for example src/dst IP and also the TCP port numbers. It is more "expensive" to do what the package should be inspected deeper and also cause more general CPU, but will allow the load between two IP hosts use multiple network interface cards. It is not supported on the standard vSwitch or the distributed switch, but on the 3rd party Nexus 1000v.

  However, all methods is the aggregation of links, some differences in how to place images on the network adapters.

  As for using two different physical switches standard does not allow this. Aggregated links must begin and end between the two groups. However, several switch suppliers (for example, Cisco and HP) formed their own solutions for this, called stacked Switch Etherchannel or Trunking distributed for example.

  IF you have these switches with this function and if set up correctly on the side of the switch, you can for example set four vmnic "hash IP" on your ESX/ESXi and connect these two physical switches. This would probably be the best combination of fault tolerance and load balancing.

• Grouping of NETWORK adapters and NLB on ESXi 3.5

  I want to get ESXi to load balance the traffic to my NFS storage, but have had no success. My test set up is the following:

  • Two blades each with two physical network adapters dedicated to the ESXi for NFS kernel ports

  • Two switches

  • A NETWORK adapter on each blade is connected to each switch - it isn't an Etherchannel or trunking configured

  • Two NFS devices on a different IP address

  • Eight virtual machines on each blade, four to connect to a data store on each device of NFS

  • ESXi NIC teaming across two network cards with the option "route based on the virtual origin of switch port code.

  My understanding is that each virtual computer must use one of the network cards, but about half must use a physical NETWORK card and half the other. Instead, all the traffic of all eight VMs released a physical NIC if I disable the physical NIC, it moves the second NETWORK card without problem. Then they both work, but he never uses both at the same time. This behavior is consistent across the two blades.

  Is throughbut limited to ~ 110 MB per blade and the storage system can easily exceed this.

  I've attached a screenshot of a virtual switch in place.

  TIA,

  Will be

  Virtual machines are access NFS data warehouses directly? If Yes, then yes it should work that way - however if you are using the NFS data store to host the VM files, including virtual disks and then traffic will turn off the vmkernel port and if have vmkernel unique port then what you are experiencing is expected - the vmkernel selects the outgoing NIC based on the virtual port id so if you have a single port vmkernel will suffice a single port as well as a NETWORK identifier unique will be used.

  It depends on what you want to achieve. Fault tolerance, the aggregation?

  Take a look at this document from VMware.

  If you use your search engine of the day and throw it into the words "VMware ESX" and add circuits or consolidation, there will be some hits on various blogs showing solutions to different hardware (in collaboration with Cisco, HP switches).

• ESXi 4.0 host network adapters

  I'm kinda a noob here, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. I have an ESXi host with two network adapters. My configuration is to have an adapter connected to the Internet and an adapter connected to my internal network. I want to do in order to implement an router ISA in a VM and use a NAT to clients internal and other virtual machines. Is this possible?

  I thought it would be as simple as the external adapter with DHCP configuration to obtain the address of my ISP and configuration of the adapter internal staically and then simply using vSwitches to connect the adapters with my computers invited to use the appropriate physical card. The problem is that when I go in the shell of ESXi, you can only configure dynamic or static for the management network and there is no options to configure two adapters separately. I see my internal adapter properly configured with a static address in the vClient, but the external adapter shows a range of IP addresses observed of 10.229.128.1 - 10.229.129.254. Where did that come from? Do I need to use the command-line utility to configure this? If so, what commands can do that? Thanks in advance!

  No need to reboot the host. Basically, all you need are two vSwitches. The first one connected to the LAN internal groups of 2 ports, one for the VMKernel (with the configured IP settings) and one for the network of the Virtual Machine. The second vSwitch only requires a Virtual Machine port group.

  Configure the virtual machine (your router ISA) with two network cards virtual, a related internal and external vSwitch. Make sure the settings for virtual network cards are set to "Connect at Power On" and are in the 'connected' State when the virtual machine is up and running.

  Depending on your ISP, you should get a DHCP IP address on the external vNIC by configuring it to "Automatic" in the guest OS.
