• Several physical NIC cards connected to vSwitch / Port Group

  Hello

  I have several physical NETWORK adapter on a host connected to a single vSwitch / port group, does this mean that the speed of the network is shared by all of the physical NIC, or I have to do something special to enable this feature?

  Please see attached .jpg

  Thanks in advance.

  If all of your network adapters is active in the nic teaming configuration, you must have a physical switch that supports the aggregation of links and you must configure it. The ESX itself does not have this kind of work.

  Actually is a bad idea to let all NICs connected without having to configure the nic teaming (1 active and others waiting for failover) or without going through the aggregation of links.

• vNIC to physical mapping of NIC in an active vSwitch

  Can anyone suggest a way of saying what virtual NIC is connected to which physical NETWORK card when they are associated with an active vSwitch (in addition, comparing the MAC addresses)?

  As far as I know, the best way to do is to use the property Config.Network of the HostSystem object that points to an object HostNetworkInfo .

  This script lists the Vswitches (and their active and reserve network cards) and all the exchanges with their active and reserve cards.

  $esxName = "mmmstv001.muac.corp.eurocontrol.int"
  $esx = Get-VMHost $esxName | Get-View
  
  foreach($vswitch in $esx.Config.Network.Vswitch){
    Write-Host "Vswitch" $vswitch.Name -ForegroundColor red
    Write-Host "`tActive NICs"
    foreach($actNic in $vswitch.Spec.Policy.NicTeaming.NicOrder.ActiveNic){
      Write-Host "`t" $actNic
    }
    Write-Host "`tStandby NICs"
    foreach($sbyNic in $vswitch.Spec.Policy.NicTeaming.NicOrder.StandbyNic){
      Write-Host "`t" $sbyNic
    }
    foreach($pg in $esx.Config.Network.Portgroup){
      if($pg.Spec.VswitchName -eq $vswitch.Name){
         Write-Host "`t`t" $pg.Spec.Name -ForegroundColor blue
           Write-Host "`t`tActive NICs"
         foreach($actNic in $pg.Spec.Policy.NicTeaming.NicOrder.ActiveNic){
           Write-Host "`t`t`t" $actNic
         }
           Write-Host "`t`tStandby NICs"
         foreach($sbyNic in $pg.Spec.Policy.NicTeaming.NicOrder.StandbyNic){
           Write-Host "`t`t`t" $sbyNic
         }
       }
    }
  }
  

  Since I do not know in what format you want the output, I wrote the data in the console.

  Note that if there is no active or standby NIC listed to a portgroup this portgroup NIC binding and the order NIC of the Vswitch.

• How to assign a VLAN to physical NIC in ESX 3.5

  Hello-

  I thought I knew how to do this, but I can't seem to find the screen where you can assign a VLAN to physical NICS in an ESX 3.5 Server?  Could someone please tell me where it is?

  Thank you very much

  Do you mean in networks:

  To change the label of network and VLAN ID for a group of ports

  1. connect to the VMware VI Client and select the host from the inventory Panel.

  2. click on the Configuration tab, and then click Network.

  3. on the right side of the screen, find the vSwitch to change, and then click Properties for the vSwitch.

  4. click on the Ports tab.

  5. Select the port group, and then click on edit.

  6. click on the general tab.

  7. change the label of network or VLAN ID , and then click OK to save the new settings.

• Best practices ISCSI VMK? How much per physical nic?

  Hi guys,.

  I have a practical question best.

  I have an ISCSI unit with two controllers. Each controller has two ports. The configuration is the following:

  A: controller

  P1: 192.168.7.1/24

  P2: 192.168.8.1/24

  Controller b:

  P1: 192.168.7.2/24

  P2: 192.168.8.2/24

  Each controller is connected to two switches. P1-> P2-> SW2, SW1.

  Each server has two network adapters, dedicated to ISCSI traffic. The question is: VMKs how do I run a physical NIC? One? Or two?

  I've set up so be it, but I'm not sure how it should be done. Currently, all guests have a VMK by NIC my argument is despite VMKs how I, the flow is still limited to 1 GB/s per port of the server (unity of ISCSI is 10 Gbps per port).

  Option 1:

  Server A:

  • MI 3
    • VMK1: 192.168.7.20/24
    • VMK2: 192.168.8.20/24
  • NIC4:
    • VMK3: 192.168.7.21/24
    • VMK4: 192.168.8.21/24

  Option 2:

  Server A:

  • NIC3:
    • VMK1: 192.168.7.20/24
  • NIC4:
    • VMK2: 192.168.8.20/24

  Is it not wise to have a physical NETWORK card with two VMKs? I'm not sure if two VMKs physical NIC is "good" because it could lead to performance?

  TIA!

  A VMK by NIC is the supported configuration. If you do differently, you may not be able to properly configure the iSCSI.

• ESX 4.0 - how can you tell what physical NIC vswif is linked to?

  Hi all

  Noobie question here, but how can you tell what NIC card connected to the service console? We have ESX server with 6 NIC cards on all of them and I need to be able to say what NIC is the service console. I googled my brains but no luck. esxcfg-vswitch - l does not show what NIC is on, because, I guess, we lack vCenter.

  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  network ESXTOP statistics may display a vswif-> vmnic relationship...

• Network.http.Max - connections by-server not found in 27 FF

  Tried searching Network.http.Max - connections-per-server in the subject: config. This has been deleted?

  See:

  • http://Hg.Mozilla.org/Mozilla-Central/Rev/d3ba16c3c8a0 (Bug 770331)

• necessary to enhance Network.http.Max - connections-per-server to javascript

  I have an AJAX web application which is very sensitive the number of connections allowed by the browser. Bad things happen when the limit is set at the bottom: frozen screens, the uncommitted transactions, deadlocks, etc..

  To avoid this, I need to check the current value of the configuration parameter "Network.http.Max - connections-per-server" program (i.e. javascript code) and to reject a request if the limit is too low with the instructions appropriate for the user.

  I guess that's possible because "subject: config" restores all values of settings and even allows for user to change. However, the code-behind for the page is very complicated, so I can not understand how to accomplish my task. All I need is a function or a method returns the current value of a given configuration parameter.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  You do not have access to the pref the subject: config page via a Web site.
  
  In theory it is possible, but the user get a pop-up and must confirm each time.

• ISE max connection failures

  In ISE, is - anyone know if the tally for the failures of maximum connection for accounts invited (found under settings > comments > political portal page) is one per session or cumulative setting during the lifetime of the account? The County never resets and is there a way to display the current number of connections that have failed?

  Our use case, is that we have guest accounts that distributed to multiple hosts (for example for a hosted conference or special event). We had a couple of this type of accounts get suspended because of hitting max connection failures. We have increased the adjustment, but I would like to understand the parameters more has some of the guest accounts must apply to a significant period of time.

  This is per session, when logged in successfully, the counter is reset.

• Connect a vSwitch to another?

  Hello

  Is it possible to connect a vSwitch to an another vSwitch to the same host?

  Not possible anyway. You must have a virtual machine in the two switches for them to connect.

• Laboratory of network of production using rdp Server 2 NICs (1 connected to prod vswitch and 1 single vswitch)

  Hi all

  I have a copy of my DC prod and a few servers on the host esx5 I created a single vswitch (no assigned network card). Besides all the vms on the isolated vswitch laboratory has no (empty) assigned default gateway ip address. Security measure. Let me explain briefly... everything is good so far... .but to access virtual machines on isolated vswitch, I need to connect to vcenter console to virtual machines. It's ok but very slow heavy and slow ...

  I thought to create that a virtual machine allows to call him my rdp Server I'll rdp on prod, then this machine virtual, I'll rdp on vms on isolated network lab. configuration of the server rdp as follows.

  I assigned 2 network cards to the rdp Server (to connect to prod vswitch network and another vswitch isolated), now my question is this secure?  which means in any way I want my isolated vms on vswitch lab test connect to servers of prod, this woulkd be a nightmere. As I am unable to ping test prod servers from computers virtual lab, and I wasn't expecting to. remember as a precautionary measure, I do not use a gatewate desktop virtual lab and I can only ping the server rdp... .so far so good

  Please let me know thoughts or maybe someone has put in place in the past...

  Thank you

  Yes it's course - internal traffic only network is isolated from the network of productin you - that traffic will come out is if place a router between the two networks

• VM and physical NIC.

  I have a single host running Esxi 4.1 4 VM all running Windows Server 2008 R2. My Vcenter is installed on these virtual machines 1. My Dell server has 4 GB physical cards. The host is manually assigned 192.168.100.113 through the configuration of the installation.

  I have 1 VM that requires him to be assigned 1 of our public IP addresses and has not any fixation of LAN at all because it will be a front-end for a web system. How can I assign this virtual machine to one of the 3 other cards physical NETWORK adapter on the host? Seems it should be a fairly simple task, but I'm confussed when you look at things.

  Currently, there is only 1 netowrk cable used associated with the NIC 1 on the server.

  Thank you

  Create a vSwitch separated with an uplink to the external network, or - if you work with the VLANS and ports of junction - create a new group for external VIRTUAL LAN port and connect the virtual computer.

• Connecting two vSwitches?

  Hello

  I use VMware ESX 4.1 and using another windows based computer with VSphere Client.

  I have two virtual machines, two virtual switches and two vmnic.

  
  VM1 is connected to the VSwitch0 and Vmnic0

  VM2 is connected to VSwitch1 and Vmnic1

  I want a possible connection between each VMs to connect two virtual switch (VSwitch0 and VSwitch1).

  Can someone guide me through? I have useful link would be great

  
  TA.

  Hello

  Think that your problem is one of the understangin works of networking in vmware.

  You do assign a vmnic virtual machines assign you to vswitches. Multiple network cards, you can assing to your vswitches.

  If you want the VMS to communicate between them, you put them on the same vswitch. If you want to connect with other physical machines they need to have connected vmnic which is also connected to switches that are also connected to your other physical computers.

• VMnet - Physical NIC of isolation

  I have asked for a delay before today, but saw that '' Yes, you can '' answers... so I have to humbly ask for someone to help figure out what I'm missing this fool.  I want just the two physical network adapters on my server to be used by two different virtual servers.  VMWare Server 2.0 installed on a Windows 2003 R2 64 bit SP2 server.  First virtual server using the Bridged mode for network and is filled in by default VMNet0, it appears.  I tried to configure a (bridged) VMnet2 to NIC #2 in my server, but do not see how to identify that in the second virtual server.  It's the only option is jumpered... etc, not individuals created VMNet2.  It was very, very simple in VMWare Server 1.0.  How / what I'm missing to separate my virtual server with two physical network cards to 2.0?

  Hello

  After you have created the vmnet2, you clicked on the "Refresh network" command or restarted your host?

  Then you should be able to add a new virtual network adapter to your guest. When you click on the "network connection" drop down, you should see your new vmnet2.  Select this option and your comments will be networked to your new vmnet2 and the second NETWORK card, it has been linked to.
