Price NETWORK card for the Test System

Hello world

I have a test with an installed Intel PRO/1000 GT PCI card system and everything works fine.

I would like to get a few more cards to help with failure on etc, but the Intel are pro £25!

Does anyone know of an ESXi 4 compatible PCI NIC that is cheap?

I've seen maps around the £10 mark, but they have not been on the list of comparability.

Thank you guys

(Prices seem to be on the scale in the world, so if its not expensive in your country, chances are it will be cheap in mine also)

  • A NETWORK OK card for the test at home environment?

    I wanted to install ESX 4.0 on my computer at home, just for learning purposes. It's an Asus P6T with i7 920 and 12 GB of RAM. Unfortunately, Marvell onboard network card is not supported by ESX. If I want to buy a CHEAP NETWORK card that is officially supported so I can play with ESX. ESX installs with a single NETWORK card? I know that this is not recommended, but it is a test without vmotion environment, etc. Or ESX, physically, requires more than one network interface card install even?

    Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter is very cheap and on ESX 4.0 HCL, but has a single port.  Oh, and I can't run ESX inside the workstation because I need to test the client 64-bit VMs, which you can't do inside Workstation 6.5.2.

    Thoughts?

    Yes like you don't tell a 'best practice', but you should be fine for a test environment.

    I would get another NETWORK card if you were doing well for storage at home if... but even you CAN do with a card NETWORK ISCSI or NFS

  • Configuration of the network card for my installation

    Hello

    Host machine: Windows-7, wireless, wired network card network card

    The computer invited: Oracle Linux 6.1

    I want to install oracle on my guest computer database and access it from the host machine. I do not particularly like about sharing this database with all other machines in the network (other than the host and all guest computers created on this server).

    What network card configuration would work better for me?

    My host computer is a portable computer. I plan on using this laptop at home, as well as the work. At home I have access to the wired network and wireless (DHCP) while at work I have access only to wireless (DHCP) network.

    I tried to adjust my VM as NAT & Host-Only network. My VM guest Gets the IP address but I cannot ping the virtual machine to the host using machine VM name. If I use the IP address of the virtual machine to ping, it works.

    Thank you

    Yogesh

    Welcome to the community,

    with the requirements you mention, I would recommend a host-only configuration. Due to lack of DNS resolution, you can configure the host with a fixed IP address in the Host-Only range and add the Oracle VM to the hosts of your Windows system file.

    Use a fixed IP address between 192.168.x.2 and... 127, above this addresses are used by DHCP.

  • Impossible to install the network card for Virutal Machine (WINNT)

    I have just Converter a Windows NT of the physical machine in ESX server. Then I added a network adapter for the virtual machine, but it seems that the virtual network adapter may not be recognized by the Windows NT system.

    Please tell us how to install a virtual network adapter for WINNT.

    Qucik response you will be highly appreciated.

    Hmmm... strange, so I'm guessing that you use not NT4 service pack 6 as your installation CD.

    If you cannot use the latest service pack, you should always be able to get from the amd website.

  • Graphics card for the system E73

    Hello

    I'm trying to get a graphics card for my E73 system which will allow me to run three monitors simultaneously. After looking into the details, it seems that the E73 supports graphics embedded running at the same time as a discrete card, which would give me the ports three monitor.

    To avoid any compatibility issues, I was hoping to get a map of Lenovo who is approved for this model. I have consulted the September 2016 Option compatibility matrix, which was the last to include my model (10AS ThinkCentre SFF E73). Which lifted to the top of this map as the best option:

    Lenovo GeForce 605 1 GB graphics DMS59 (part number 0B 47073)

    But when I ordered it, unfortunately it wasn't available.

    So, this leaves wondering what card to get in the place. I had a look through the most recent maps in the hope that one would be in stock. The sounds of the map below as it should work (small footprint and described as "full on Lenovo ThinkCentre specified systems"), but the Option compatibility matrix it list as compatible for some reason, so I hesitate to buy it.

    Map of graph Lenovo GT720 GDDR5 1 GB Dual DP (part number 4X60K92692)

    The compatibility matrix is never complete, or implemented to date.   And it is good that the GT 605 was not available, its performance is less than the integrated Intel graphics card.   HD 4600 has a Passmark score of 646, which is better than a GT (score of 434) 620 and close to the score of a GT 630 (734).   A better source of what works is the list of adapters supported in the readme driver Nvidia for your E73 system, and which has been used successfully in your and similar systems of ThinkCentre generation.

    The GT 720 will work, but a better card is the GT 730 DDR5 (GDDR5 memory.)

    I suggest that you update your BIOS by using the CD ISO method before hand.

  • VMware device with 2 network cards claiming the same IP address with two MAC addresses

    Hello.

    I see messages intermittent my gateway network two MAC addresses associated with a virtual machine running on a 5.5 ESXi host for the same IP address.

    The virtual machine is a MiTel 3300 controller for a VOIP system. the system is configured with two IP addresses, one on the local network and another with a public IP address in the DMZ. In the network configuration of the 3300, I assigned the address LAN IP at 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:B2 and the DMZ IP at 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:BC (Mac for network devices presented by the ESXi host virtual machine).

    On the host, I configured a vSwitch with exclusive access to two physical network adapters on the host machine. The vSwitch is configured with two machine virtual port groups, LAN and DMZ, with access to the physical network interface cards. Tab grouping of groups vSwitch port NIC, I replaced the order of failover of the switch to activate an active NETWORK card only for the Group of LAN ports and the other card NETWORK only for the DMZ port group. (I don't know how the content of the column of networks is determined. Neither is correct for the traffic on the physical switch. If these are configurable, please advise and I'll change the settings). The relevant parameters of vSwitch, groups of ports and VM are distinguished below.

    On the virtual machine itself, through the VMWare host, I assigned 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:B2 for the Group of LAN ports and 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:BC to the DMZ group port (best I can tell, anyway, since the MAC address field annoyingly obscures the last two digits of the MAC address - break if I invert the mapping) (, but all seems OK).

    The goal here is to make sure that MACs of ports vSwitch the 3300 is listening and sending always correspond to the physical ports that are VLAN Tag by the physical switch to ensure the routing. Generally speaking, it seems that what is happening but, intermittently, we cross one-way calls that suggests a problem of routing between us and our SIP trunk provider; coinciding with these incidents, I get an email along the lines of "the security in the network device has detected a conflict of IP address with two or more devices. The period of INVESTIGATION "DMZ. DMZ. DMZ. DMZ' is claimed by the following clients with MAC addresses: ' 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:B2' ' 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:BC'. »

    I did something in the configuration that would lead to this kind of collision intermittent? Have a hacked together a way to do something that could be accomplished in a way that is simpler and more reliable?

    Thanks for any idea that you can offer.

    Kind regards

    J.

    I probably don't fully understand your configuration, but it seems that you are not interested in using the collection of NETWORK adapters in the virtual switch of the VM MiTel 3300.

    If it is correct, why not create two virtual switches, each with a group of port (LAN and DMZ) unique and with a separate connection of (vmnic2 and vmnic1)?

    In general, collection of NETWORK adapters may be used to share traffic between uplinks and ensure that if one of the uplinks connect fails, a virtual machine still has access to the network.

  • best way to put up a second NETWORK adapter for the data on NAS Server store

    I want to add a second NETWORK card if I can get the best possible performance for when I move the data store of the ESXi host to the NAS (which will also have a dual NIC). What is the best way to set up the NETWORK card on the ESXi host to achieve?

    PS - I am aware that I am limited to the real network speed of 1 Gbps and conditions and I agree with that (any of the virtual machines are eager resources or production).

    SOLVED... I think so. JPM300 got on the right track, but I was still not clear on it so I googled all this involving and finally landed on an iSCSI with MPIO configuration. I ended up as a result of this article (I use a Synology DS415 +, but the steps are pretty universal): How to use iSCSI targets on VMware ESXi with Multipath i/o - SynologyWiki. The article is old but always worked perfectly for me. I checked the two paths/NIC are used simultaneously, but I did not actual test to see if I have 200 MB/s of bandwidth (I've seen 80 MB/s when the cloning of virtual machines to the new iSCSI data store using vmfstools).

    I ran into a problem where the second path is not added during the alternating market; I removed the path shown and then was able to add the second path, then the first path again.

    Hope this helps someone.

  • Grouping of NETWORK cards causing the ESXi to retransmit ethernet frames received.

    I had an HP Proliant DL380 G5 ESXi 5.1.0 connected to a Cisco 3750 Switch stack.

    All by performing a tcpdump on a host without a report, I discovered that he was under the bombardment with ethernet frames for the MAC address of a computer virtual located on a host across the data center. After a few brief troubleshooting, I discovered that I was able to stop those erroneous frames by disabling NETWORK adapters on my VMWare host group.

    I believe that in my situation when ESXi is configured to use two network cards to all frames received on vmnic0 and retransmits them on vmnic1 and vice-vesa. I experienced these symptoms when ESXi is configured for failover with an active adapter and adapter mode standby and I also experienced the same symptoms in the following load balancing configuration.


    Symptoms: some time after activating the load balancing, all frames Ethernet for the MAC address of a virtual computer on the affected host are broadcast on each switch port in the entire data center.

    Steps to reproduce:
    (1) implementation below configuration.
    (2) unplug the ethernet cable connecting vmnic1 and switch1 port gi2/0/4
    (3) run the host 1.1.1.1 EI - n - q tcpdump on any machine physics linux in the data center (don't even have to be connected directly to 1).
    Confirm there is no packet seen with the IP address of 1.1.1.1 destination
    (4) plug the cable between vmnic1 and switch1 gi2/0/4 port ethernet
    (5) wait 60 to 120 seconds
    (6) watch a burst of frames ethernet with the destination MAC address of the VM (which owns 1.1.1.1) in the output of tcpdump

    hostname switch1

    Unplug physically 2 cable NETWORK card on the host and configuration mirrored port on the switchport to 1 NETWORK adapter of the host, I have been able to confirm that the host VMWare issues guides on NIC1 with a destination MAC address of one of its own VM.

    After carefully reviewing the captured data, I noticed that the destination frames wrong "02:bf:cb:50:a2:76" MAC address actually belonged to "Local Area Connection 1' one of my Windows 2003 Server WHAT VM installed on the suspected host.

    Dig a little deeper, I discovered that this virtual NETWORK card is presented to the operating system as
    Name: Local 1 network connection
    "Type: VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet adapt."
    MAC: 02-BF-CB-50-A2-76

    But the configuration of the virtual machine in vCentre is
    Name: Network adapter 1
    Type: Flexible
    MAC: 00: 0C: 29:fa:e8:83

    Note the different MAC addresses.

    Digging a little further I discovered that Windows 2003 server has configured on "Local 1 network connection" network load balancing and NLB is the cause of the altered MAC address.

    Rather than to investigate further I have just placed a load balancer linux before the server windows 2003 cluster and that you turn off NLB.

    But I suspect that there is still a fundamental problem in the Virtual Switch VMware with how he learns the MAC addresses of the virtual machine is using flexible vNIC. In particular, with a virtual machine that uses a form to override the MAC address such as that used by NLB.

  • Adding a second NETWORK card on the server HP Proliant ML 350 G5

    I have a new HP Proliant with a guest of Windows 2008.  HP came with two network cards on the MB.  I need double-home this box on both networks, at least for a while, and this server will be the only road between subnets.  It's just a stand-alone installation inset.

    I looked in the settings of the BIOS on the HP and it's a little confusing, but I'm sure that the second network card is active (it lights up when it is plugged).  When I try to add a NETWORK adapter to the configuration of the host, it is as if the second NETWORK card is not present.

    My question is what is the best way to add this second NETWORK adapter and how do I do that?

    I'll need access to the host of the VI Client on both networks - at least for a while.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to configuration-card network in the vSphere client is the 2nd NETWORK card that there are listed?  If ESXi is able to recognize the NETWORK adapter (or other people that you add) they should appear in this list without any config changes and be ready for use.

    What kind of networks are you fill?   If one is considered not secure you could be better not add a management on this network port and prefer to have access via a VPN VM or a secure hosted VM / dual.

    Hi Javier

    2.1.3 was the last version supporting M81KR.

    The enic/fnic M81KR and VIC-1280 drivers are the same

    VIC-1280

    1.5.0.49 = card driver (FNIC), 2.1.2.38 (ENIC)
    Adapter Firmware = 2.1 (3)

    M81KR

    1.5.0.49 = card driver (FNIC), 2.1.2.38 (ENIC)
    Adapter Firmware = 2.1 (3)

    Therefore, I see no problem; you change the adapter I/O and associate the SP again.

    If you are just looking for elements run back, I wouldn't have selected Vista for guest OS... Probably be much better to use XP Pro (SP2) than any version of Vista... On the one hand, XP uses much less space on the disk and other... You can run XP Pro (easily) on a vDisk 16-20GB... IF you're dead set on running VIsta, then get the Business edition and who perform. I would never use any of the editions home for any professional use. Windows 7 is much better than Vista (Windows 7 is commonly called "Vista done right" within the it community). I'm actually using Windows 7 Professional x 64 on two of my systems. I have a XP Pro VM on my system main for when I need either the software which is only able to turn it on, or when I need to test something. Otherwise, I stick with Win7 these days.
