Proper installation and use of Vmotion with 4 NICs

I have a new VMWare esxi to 5.1.0 two server installation.  Each server has 4 network cards.  I currently have two NICs configuration for iSCSI and installation of two NICs for network administration.  What is the best way to add vmotion in this environment?  Should I include it with iSCSI or administrative network?  The vmotion network must be on the same IP network as the adminstrative or iSCSI network or can it be it's own pattern IP?

I have a second environment where each server has 8 cards, vmotion is on its own network with its own network card and thus the reason for my lack of knowledge.

Thank you

Welcome to the communities...

My suggestion would be as below:

What is the best way to add vmotion in this environment?  Should I include it with iSCSI or administrative network?

Suggest to include vMotion with (administrative) network management traffic, create a second group of VMkernel ports for vMotion on the network to management switch

For the management network-> Set as active nic1 and nic2 as standby

For vMotion Network-> NIC2 defined as asset and NIC1 as standby

The vmotion network must be on the same IP network as the adminstrative or iSCSI network or can it be it's own pattern IP?

Best practice is to have a separate network for vMotion traffic

  • Installation and use of POWERVAULT 114 X Windows

    Hi all

    We recently spent a few thousand pounds to buy a POWERVAULT 114 X system with a LTO-6 car inside. I have a Dell server running VMWare ESXi. I've configured VMWare (cross) and the SAS HBA is installed and visible on my Windows 2008 R2 server. Everything seems fine, except that I can't see the tape drive. I installed Backup Exec 2012 on the server and it does not detect the drive.

    I looked everywhere for a Windows driver for the band or any other necessary software, but I can't find anything anywhere (outside some updates of the firmware), no documentation at all. nothing. Clearly, Miss something.

    Can someone advise please? I'm scratching my head bald figure this.

    Concerning

    The question that you are running is with ESXi and use with DRUNK and the tape drive. Here is a link that has some info which should answer the questions that you encounter.

  • More information on BC dynamic menus and using the CSS with them

    Hi all

    The tutorial of gurus of BC on the dynamic Menus and how to style with CSS didn't make any sense for me, unfortunately. The presentation was too rushed and the screen is too small to see what was going on.

    In a previous question, I discovered how to apply CSS classes to the BC menus after a bit of a course autour.

    I put the # in front of the name of the item ID and a. in front of the class name and it was not necessary.

    I have other questions, as I am still struggling to get a dynamic menu BC style correctly with the CSS I created.

    1. If you choose CSS as the menu type, can set the font, the State of reversal and color of background of the menu items in the dynamic menu section? Or are you to this style in the CSS stylesheet?

    2. If you choose CSS as the type of menu, the option to say how the submenu is located under the main menu disappears. Then you need to define in the CSS stylesheet? And if yes in which element? UL or LI?

    3. If you choose only CSS/HTML, how is this different from the CSS option to the dynamic menu?

    4. If you choose CSS as the type of menu and if you set the width and height in the menu item, and then set a different width and height in the CSS stylesheet, the width and height wins?

    5. If you want a dynamic menu to display on an Android phone, you have to choose only the CSS/HTML and do all the style in the CSS stylesheet? Or you can avoid dynamic menus all together and just use a UL list in the model? (I'm a reagent liquid checkerboard in DW for the model).

    6. I think the dynamic menu, I have done with CSS as the type, not to show and hide items in menu void correctly on an Android phone. Is there a problem with the javascript in dynamic menus?

    Thanks for any help that you people can give on these issues!

    OK, I found out what was the real problem. I did not use the menu Module 2 V to insert the menu into the model. I made the mistake to use the label menu in the Toolbox by default.

    The menu module V2 tag is NOT in the Toolbox.

    The tag is: {module_menu, version = '2'Flash '5475' =, moduleTemplateGroup = "Default"}

    When you configure the menu items in the Menu Module in the main part of the site, select the type of menu CSS/HTML, and then just set up links and menu items. No need of style or even add classes of menu items. Although you can also do.

    The elements you style are found here: / ModuleTemplates/Menu/Default

    Problem solved 3 years later! Thank you, @Penny of the Fortune Green who explained it all. In the meantime, I've used content holders to implement lists ul for menus and their style entirely in CSS. Laughing out loud! Welll it wasn't bad, I learned a lot about CSS.

    Details of the Menu Module 2 can be found here: using the module_menu v2

  • Is it possible to use Storage Vmotion with VMFS and RDM virtual tool?

    Hello!

    You can use the tool Storage Vmotion to move a server that is running both VMFS disks and RDM virtual drives inside?

    Both SAN is EMC and Vmware ESX and Virtual Center can be reached.

    Thank you!

    For storage on the SAN again the two hosts will need access to the storage. You can then you copuld cold migrate the virtual computer. First, you will need to stop the virtual machine and delete the mapping of RDM. Once the virtual machine is the new data store re-create the mapping of RDM (Bothe hosts will need to access the LUN backend).

    1. There is no way to upgrade from 32 to 64 bits. You will need to clean install 64-bit.
    2. Easy transfer requires a computer to work at each end, not a computer attached to an external drive, because it is easy to transfer must be installed and running in the appropriate bit for each operating system version.

    As you have two internal drives, it should not be hard to install 64-bit on what is currently the second disc, ensuring that you first disconnect the drive that contains the 32-bit operating system.

    Subsequently, you can reconnect the 'old' data from drive and transfer of starting from one to the other, but just do NOT use Easy Transfer.

  • Installation and use of the stand-alone converter 5.5

    vSphere 5.1, 5.1 VMware, Windows Server R2 64 bit VM 2012

    I am new to VM and VMware.  I didn't realize until today that if you allocate a certain amount of disk space for a virtual computer and later decide to reduce the allocation of disk space, you must convert "" the virtual machine to an amount reduced space during the conversion.  I allocated 300 GB to a virtual machine and I want to now the award to 100 GB.  The real Windows Server 2012 R2 64 bit partition size is currently 40 GB.

    What I want to do is to install the Converter 5.5 on the same physical server (Windows Storage Server 2012 64 bit) where I currently have installed 5.1 vSphere.  I would use 5.5 of converter to convert the virtual machine that has excessive disk space allocation of the physical server.

    1. What are the options use during installation of 5.5 Converter (Converter Standalone Server?, Converter Standalone Agent?, Converter Standalone Client?, etc..)

    2. are there any special advice and guidance for conversion into a VM with less disk space allocation?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Using enhaced vMotion with ESX4.1

    Hello

    I was wondering if it is possible to use the new improved features vMotion (migrate virtual machines without shared storage) with just the upgrade 5.1 vCenter.

    I have an environment where I have a vCenter 4.1 virtual and multiple ESX 4.1 classics that are not connected to a shared storage.

    To update the environment 5.1 I need a downtime of the virtual machines since I stop them, move them to another server, reinstall the ESX and ESXi 5.1.

    My question is, can I update the vCenter 5.1, the enhanced vMotion allows to move virtual machines from one ESX to another or I must have reinforced version 5.1 on the Hypersivor as well as for vMotion to work?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Don't know if I'm clear with your query

    "I didn't want to VCA feature, but the new feature of 5.1 through the VMs of unshared data warehouses and hosts without any downtime.

    This feature implemented in vCenter or is it tied host? »

    Rule of thumb: VC should always be equal to or greater than the version of esx/esxi

    To make use of the functionality of Migration without shared storage, we have need of ESX and VC in version 5.1.
