Only 4 cards network

Most of our servers have 6 + NIC...  Usually, two for the management/Vmotion, two for virtual machines, two for the NFS storage.

Our newest blades only have 4 network cards... Although they are all 10 GB.  ESXi 5.0 currently using

What is the best way to implement?   Here are the two choices I think about: different VLAN for all which, incidentally.

(1) create a switch with all physical cards four joints, 3 vmks (1 for management, 1 for vmotion, 1 for nfs).  All 4 physical network adapters be active for all and that the ESXi to understand.

(2) create a switch with all physical cards four attached, 3 vmks again.  But organize the consolidation and failover of the physical NIC for each vmk separately.  Management and vmotion say gets vmnic0 as active, with vmnic3 as secondary... then nfs gets vmnic1 and vmnic3 as active. And virtual machines get vmnic2 as active, with vmnic1 as before.

#2 type of private VM traffic however... Should I leave VMs and NFS share all the vmnic1-3?

#3 create a switch with all physical adapters connected four, 3 vmks again. Management and vmotion gets vmnic0 as being active, with vmnic3 as secondary... then nfs and VMs to vmnic1, vmnic2 and vmnic3 as active.

Thoughts?

You have different physical switches for management/vMotion, NFS and VM traffic or they are all connected to the same set of physical switches? This can strongly influece the answer on these questions.

You have company + license and allows to use distributed vSwitches?

If so, control network IO and focus on the burden of reunification are certainly considerations that could make your life a lot easier. With these two functions, you can go in confidence with the unique vSwitch parameter and all 4 uplinks, leaving basic teaming load dynamically determine where to place the VM vNIC and vmkernel ports while ensuring overall fair through the NIOC.

If you have not undertaken + licenses and need to go with standard vSwitches, I would probably build a vSwitch with two uplinks to the management/vMotion and NFS, using alternating rising favorite for both. Then another vSwitch for traffic from the virtual machine to the other two uplinks.

(2) create a switch with all physical cards four attached, 3 vmks again.  But organize the consolidation and failover of the physical NIC for each vmk separately.  Management and vmotion say gets vmnic0 as active, with vmnic3 as secondary... then nfs gets vmnic1 and vmnic3 as active. And virtual machines get vmnic2 as active, with vmnic1 as before.
#2 type of private VM traffic however... Should I leave VMs and NFS share all the vmnic1-3?

This example is not really make sense to me because you only have a single interface for NFS vmkernel. Assigning two physical NIC as active for this vmk is practically useless in this case. Is less than then you use IP-hash channeling on the vSwitch, in which case you should not all NIC expectations for any group of ports on the vSwitch together still.

Apart from this, even a simple but dedicated 10 GB NIC for VM traffic provides a lot of bandwidth.

Is Multi-NIC vMotion a desired in your scenario use case too or you want to just go with a vMotion NIC?

On that note, I don't really know your environment and requirements, but two 10 GB interfaces really offer a lot of bandwidth, and I mean a lot. Four 10 GB interfaces can seem a bit of an overdose, especially if you can ensure fairness through the NIOC and do not necessarily need to worry about custom configurations of active / standby NIC.

  • The best practices with only 4 cards network network

    I'm used to esx with fiber channel without configuration.  This will be my first experience connecting esx to an iscsi san.

    I just have 4 network cards on the server and wonder what is the best practice.

    I think that 2 of the 4 network cards will be dedicated to the San for HA.

    But the other 2 types of throw me a loop for.

    I know I want to console, vmotion and trunk for VLANs, but I don't think I can have all 3 on the same vswitch?

    Am I stuck with having the console and vmotion on a network card and the trunk of the other?  IE - no failover?

    Is there anyway to get console, vmotion and trunk at all exist together?

    Thank you in advance.

    If it were an election, I vote for Josh26

    Just a few additions to his recommendation:

    vSwitch0:

    2 natachasery connected to the ports of the trunk on the pSwitch (vmnic0, vmnic1)

    Service - VLANxxx - Portgroup (vmnic0, vmnic1 active standby) Console

    VMkernel Portgroup for vMotion - VLANyyy - (vmnic0 vmnic1 standby, active)

    Machine Virtual Network - VLANzzz - (vmnic0, vmnic1 active standby)

    vSwitch1:

    2 natachasery (vmnic2, vmnic3)

    VMkKernel Portgroup for iSCSI

    With the above configuration you separate iSCSI traffic, what is most important.

    SC and the VM network share a teddy and vMotion has its dedicated Teddy.

    Everything is redundant.

  • Only one card NETWORK

    I am a beginner, and for learning purposes, I don't have a NIC is possible to share this NETWORK adapter between the virtual machine and network management?

    What the Vswitch promiscuous mode for?

    I used on a virtual server, to easily copy a VHD and rename without problems. Here, Palm data store browser, I think that it is not posible to copy a machine to serve as a model for another new machine and rename it.

    -I guess so this managed network can have a different IP network of each machine, because each has its own physical nic?

    Yes, the uplink to a physical switch is comparable to a trunk between physical switches and all groups of VMKernel ports as well as virtual machines are connected to the virtual switch using their own unique IP address. With different IP subnets on the ESXi host, you may need to correctly configure the uplink port (i.e. 802 1 (q).

    - And what is the "generalist" each vnic and vswitch each option?

    With the mode "Promiscuous" disabled, network traffic is sent to the port on which group the target MAC address is registered directly. With mode "Promiscuous" enabled traffic will be sent to the port or groups independently. This is needed for example an ESXi host nested where the virtual machine is connected directly to the groups vSwitch/host port nested rather than external ESXi host port groups.

  • Omen of HP 15: Wifi stop working. Win10 shows only a single network and it connects to the WiFi

    Hi guys,.
    Since a few days my wifi stopped working.
    If I click the Wifi icon it shows only a SINGLE NETWORK (two maximum), but not mine!

    And I live in a building of 20 + networks, as you can see on the WiFi Analyzer (I'm the only red to the right)



    If I reactive / disable Wifi with fn + f12, it goes back in plane and Wifi mode mode and sees it eventually all networks:



    My Wifi is on top. If it is registered, Windows connects to it and then she abandons the connection; If it is not registered, and I try to connect, it says "you are not able to connect to this network.
    Is fun is that after a few seconds, each network disappears and alone is shown (probably the one next door... I don't know).

    I already tried to RESET the laptop MATERIAL by keeping the power button for 10-15 seconds with the laptop is turned off.
    I tried to follow these instructions (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04649175) updated drivers (Intel 18.12.0.3, 18.12.1.2, 18.30.0.9 [10 default Windows], 18.32.0 [last drivers]) without success. Whenever I have install a new driver, I uninstalled the earlier software Wireless + restart.

    I tried to uncheked "allow this computer to turn off this device to save power" on my settings of Wifi hardware without success.

    HP network support said that I did not choose a Wifi (really? The problem is that I do not see my Wifi on the list!).

    This is unrelated to a new 10 Windows upgrade since I installed it months ago and this is the first time I have this problem :/ It has always worked

    I tried different settings too:
    I changed the channel, I put 802.11 g on my router, APSD off on the router.
    I put "Magic off packet, QoS ad hoc off, U-APSD off, fat wide channel, differential flow mode HT off" on the creation of the map without success. Nothing chaned.

    The hardware test detects any failure.

    Important note: If I close the router, it shows my network connection with full power and he connects to it. Then I come back in my room (probably 3/4 meters away), it MAINTAINS the connection for 30 / 40 min and he drops the connection and I cannot reconnect to it more. It has always worked perfectly in my room during these months (I bought it in March 2015), so the distance is not a problem, I'm 6 / 7 m away from the router.
    In this case, it shows my network (connected) and the nearby... and the other 20 networks +?

    The only way I have is USB tethering with my Nexus 5.

    Linux: I tried the WiFi on Freya elementary (Ubuntu linux OS base) and it displays 20 + networks available on the list. He has not the connection problem with my Wifi, but sometimes it stops working, Web pages stop loading and I have to restart Wifi to reconnect to the it (usually after 30/40 min of use it).

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    What is the problem? My Wifi card is broken? Should I call Italian support or if you have any suggestions?

    WAWood,
    I took a risk.
    I did a factory restore with recovery HP (I have a drive dedicated for her)... and it worked!
    I had to switch from Win8.1 to 10, but the Wifi problem is solved!

    I'm still guessing that was the problem...

    Now, I'm under Intel drivers 18.30.0.9 worm and all the networks work.

    In the next few days I'm checking the linux problem (reset deleted primary partition).

  • Is - a used the 3602e as a bridgeing only between two networks?

    Is - a used the 3602e as a bridgeing only between two networks? 2504 controller version 7.4.100 I can't ping anything on one side or the other of the network, but I can ping from each access point controller. I have two 1552 setup the same way with no problems. Anyone seen this before?

    Thank you!

    In the case of 3602e as bridge link and you bet the config is a working one, then I would check the antennas if they are properly aligned, if you use a higher gain, a good one would be a necessary in the case of 3602e, I think that Yes.

  • How to get 2 virtual NIC works when there is only 1 physical NETWORK card?

    Hello

    Running VM Fusion 2.0

    I want to create a Virtualversion of Ubuntu that will have 2 virtual network cards which is both connected to my NIC physical 1

    I added the network cards successfully, but when I run ifconfig eth0 only arises

    I edited the vmx file by adding the lines below, but without success

    ethernet1. ConnectionType = "custom" ethernet1.vnet = 'vmnet2'

    Someone knows how to do this?

    See you soon

    Tom

    I guess that you configure additional virtual networks in Fusion by using something like: Advanced Networking Configuration - Tokamak Networking Scripts for VMware Fusion , since vmnet2 does not come configured out of the box with the merger and there is no way in the GUI to do.

    I interpret what you're trying to do like the creation of two virtual network cards in a time filled with the same physical NETWORK card in the Mac VM. Can you explain what you are trying to accomplish by doing that? This configuration can cause two interfaces with an IP address on the same subnet, including many UNIX-like (and Windows) nuclei do not take very kindly.

    You may also check the Ubuntu network configuration (to ensure that the new NETWORK adapter is enabled and configured).

  • 2 wireless cards network, 2 VM - only we have access to the Internet

    Im running VMWare Workstation 6.5.3 build 185404. My host is Windows 7 x 86. I have 2 VM, lets call them VM1 and VM2. Both are running Windows XP x 86. I also have 2 wireless network cards, lets call them wNIC1 and wNIC2. I wish that each VM to have its own individual wNIC in order to connect to different networks and isolate traffic within their own virtual machine.

    With the help of the virtual network Editor, under the virtual network mapping host, I updated VMnet2 VMnet4 and wNIC1 to wNIC2. These two wNIC is connected to different wireless connections, I have access to the internet. The host takes an IP address for each Wi - Fi connection. I put VM1 use VMnet2 and VM2 to use VMnet4. With me so far? Good!

    If I start VM1, he pulls an IP and I have access to the internet. However, if I start VM2 (while VM1 is running), it shoots one IP address, but I don't have access to the internet. Similarly, if I start first VM2, I get an IP and internet access, but if I start VM1 after, I get an IP address, but no internet access.

    What Miss me?

    Just a thought (WAG), but all your vmnet both have the same MAC: 00-0C-29-22-50-59

    I wonder if that might create a conflict? I don't know how isolated bridges are.

    You can change in the .vmx file. If all goes well, a guru can comment on that.

    Like I said, a WAG.

  • Pavilion G7-1355dx: card network problem

    Hello

    I had previously posted the question below and took the lead on mark as resolved. The answer I got was good, but because of many different configurations of my model of my laptop model, it was not correct for mine.

    I have an old HP Pavilion 1355dx G7 and I use it during the games XBOX a stream. It has only one network adapter Wireless 2.4 ghz, if coupled with that much congestion in my neighborhood, it broadcasts only during the flawless. New info: my laptop has an AMD processor, not an Intel processor.

    This laptop does support 5 GHz wirelesss network cards compatible with AMD? I am hoping to move to a 5 ghz however I want to make sure that it supports and is on the white list before I buy one.

    Thanks for the info. That's what I was afraid of. Can be an excuse to get a new laptop and let the kids use it. It is not a big deal, for the most part, it works well, but you can see in sensitive applications.

    I used an app WiFi Analyzer and each channel is overused. I'm surrounded by more than a dozen networks (tons of apartments) and use channel 11 that is congested, but less crowded than 1 and 6.

  • Local access only after the Network Systems Security 2009 malware removed

    I'll try to put all the details that I can here, but my laptop that has the problem cannot connect to the Internet so I won't be able to copy paste n info. Last week, I was struck with the 2009 malware security systems. It was a pain to remove because it stopped all the work programmes and I could not install malware removal software. Finally beat him by renaming the main program folder 2009 for the security of the systems. That he has stopped working when I restarted the laptop and then I was able to install the malware removal software and took remoped.

    Here is the problem. Now that he is gone my network connections wireless and wired no longer work. I get local access only on an unidentified network. I have Windows vista Home premium and use internet with a modem model Cableone cable Motorola Surfboard SB5101.

    Then I called a cable tech support first and they could not help and after all the service works very well on my desktop the same modem and connection. So I called Motorola tech support and they had me do a lot of things for hours (including reinstalling the drivers for the modem) on the phone without effect. Finally, they suggested that I have re-download all ACER Aspirion z9410z drivers and reinstall them. So I did it. Copied to a flash of my desktop drive and reinstalled them. No luck.

    The respectable and sharing Centre, explains that the modem works correctly when you look at the status. But the auto for windows diagnostic tool says to check the IP settings automatically and reset the network card. The two fail to trouble when ran. Here are all the parameters of the network connection.

    Hello Oxilas,

    I suggest that you use a friend/co-worker Vista DVD and do a repair installation.

    Repair facility:

    You can reinstall your copy of Vista while keeping your files, settings and programs by performing a repair install or an upgrade on the spot with the following steps: (Note: this still does not resolve all problems, especially if the corruption was caused by a 3rd party program or service, you may need to do a clean install) (if this is not successful.)

    <><><><><><><><><><><><>

    Please make sure that you back up all the important data before you continue. Please visit: methods for your backup files.

    Always make sure that you have the means to reinstall your programs, or by an installation disc or access to the installation files.

    <><><><><><><><><><><><>

    1. Insert the Windows installation disc in your computer's DVD or CD drive. You must start Windows installation while running your existing version of Windows.

    2. on the Install Windows page, click install now.

    3. on the get updates for installation page, we recommend getting the latest updates to help ensure a successful installation and to help protect your computer against security threats. You will need an Internet connection to get the installation updates.

    4. on the Type your product key for activation , we strongly recommend that you type your 25-character product key in order to avoid problems during activation.

    5. on the page Please read the terms of the license , if you accept the license terms, click I accept the terms of the license.

    6. to the which type of installation you want? page, click upgrade to begin the upgrade. You can see a compatibility report.

    7 follow the instructions.

    Note: If your installation disc doesn't include SP1, and you are updated, then you must uninstall it before proceeding with an update install. Start-> Control Panel-> programs-> see installed updates, then select Service Pack for Microsoft Windows and click on Uninstall.

    Note: Tit the following settings is reset by default:

    Its computer system

    Device drivers

    Visual effects

  • Since the (all updates) update yesterday, I find one inactive (used only for vpn) network adapter waiting for DHCP Ip address. 1 minute. This should not happen.

    This adapter (or should I say windows) should not ask an IP address until it is in use. There is no difference if I disable it in Device Manager. I get the following error (ID 1001):

    Your computer not was not assigned a network address (by the DHCP server) for the network card with the address...    The following error occurred: 0 x 79. Your computer will keep trying... Since the server (DHCP).

    The MAC address is the MAC address of my "virtual" network card

    In the meantime my physical network adapter does not work. It seems windows is just to wait a response "who will not to pass" a DHCP server which unless I launch the VPN software is simply not going to work.

    I suspect that it is the result of an update that should not work this way.

    Any suggestion is welcome.

    Thank you.

    I would just add - it may be important for long-term understanding of the issue. In network connections, the VPN arrested projected map (still there in Device Manager). I see only the physical card. After removing both and reinstall the two becomes visible. The previously hidden map (vpn) becomes visible. It was not until the physical adapter has been reinstalled (logically). Personally, I have no idea why this I messed up. There should not be.

    Best regards, Dave.

  • How many cards network vmotion

    Hi all

    We are moving from vSphere 4.1 to 5.1 vSphere.  As part of this effort, we have the ability to reconfigure a few things, including the number of network adapters, that we have for vmotion.  I know it can withstand up to 16 x 1 GB NIC.

    Our server environment is not 10 GB yet, but we have a total of 12 x 1 GB NIC ports on most of our ESX (edge 4 x and 2 x 4-port cards) host with ports to save.

    We create the new environment 5.1, is there a best practice around how many ports to configure for vmotion?  I expect the answer will be 'it depends', but I just wanted to get an idea of the factors that should be taken into account for this?

    The number of virtual machines on each ESXi host would be a review?  (For example, when place you it in maintenance mode.)

    We just need to experiment with it ourselves to see what is the right number (for us)?

    Is there a minimum number, we should consider (maybe 2 or 3)?  Should we configure everything as much as we can?

    Thanks for your help...

    Hello

    You have reason... it depends on

    VMotion operations are very fast with vSphere, if you already have a 1 GB dedicated on each host. So if you have a downtime planned for one of your hosts, I think that it would not be a second that is necessary. 8 vmotion operations at the same time could be very well (if you have 10Gb)... but maybe is not worth if you can wait the 30 seconds more...

    If you have a DRS, which uses VMotion to load balance virtual machines between hosts, perhaps a second NETWORK card would be a good idea... but once... If this configuration does not work properly with 1 NETWORK card you should see warnings now in your vCenter.

    So, what best practices talk is how to provide the best possible solution to a scenario with some limitations that you should consider. Availability would be one of the things to consider and one side for availability "acquisition cost" (budget is another milestone to examine each project). As you already have multiple network interface cards, this is not a limitation and a good design could consider having a second NETWORK adapter dedicated to VMotion (two vswitches or the one with the two NIC related to it... depends on if your host has CPU contention or not... otherwise, I would recommend two vSwitches so you HA there too).

    VMotion (at least for me) is not essential... First of all, I would like to confirm that you will be NIC 'extra' for the most critical traffic such as VM presentation or storage.

    It of only my point of view (with some best practices of VMware on it), hope this has helped you!

    Kind regards
