Question about distributed switching

Currently, we run a mix of ESX 4.0 host U2 and ESXi 5 U2.  vCenter is version 5.  Most host NIC are 1 GB.  vCenter virtual switches are configured as standard.  We must

reduce the number of ports Cisco asked our network group where they are at a premium.  Some tests were conducted using the VIRTUAL local area network ports.  Distributed switching

more that simply centralize network management in vCenter?  It does not reduce the number of NIC host ports or each host still must have his own physical

connections to networks, he needs to talk about?  What are others doing?  Thank you.

IT does not reduce the number of physical ports on the host - hosts still needs physical connections to the different networks / VLAN.

  • Questions about N3024 switch by default - originate BGP

    Here is the configuration of the two switches.  I set up and rising BGP, passing of prefixes.  I want 1 switch to send a default gateway to switch 2 and have the default installation of command on the next statement are created.  I don't see the 0.0.0.0 route by default in the show ip bgp sum command, but which is detailed in the configuration guide.  However, I don't see a default route 0.0.0.0 in the routing table for switch 2 at all and an error message that there is no default route available.  Would I be missing here?

  • A Question about VM traffic through a virtual switch

    I have a question please. I though I read somewhere that if you have 2 virtual machines on the same host ESXi and they are on the same VLAN, when these virtual machines want to talk to each other that they don't let the ESXi host through physical network cards.

    Now, I read in the documentation which is only correct if the virtual network, they are on doesn't have an attached physical network adapter. In other words, you create a group of uplink / Port without an attached physical network adapter.

    So, since I'm using a distributed switch and say I have a Port named Phoung(VLAN 2) group that has an attached physical network adapter. Now I have 2 virtual machines on the same host ESXi on this VLAN and when they talk to each other the traffic will remain in the ESXi host, or will still be out of the physical network to the network card and come back.

    Read various documents on this subject has me a little confused. Thank you very much.

    Where did you read that the traffic will leave the virtual switch?

    If I have something miss me the traffic leaves the host if either the virtual machine is on different subnets (i.e. need to delivery), or if they are on different virtual switches.

  • question of vCenter edition license + distributed switch

    Hello

    I want to clarifiy on vCenter license I have and what is it supposed to cover.

    Background:

    I bought the VI3 VirtualCenter license company a year ago. I upgraded the server vCenter vSphere4 a few weeks ago, and apply the code key that I found in my account on VMware.com. Up to present, so good, but he says my license VI3 VC has been converted with vSphere Standard.

    The ESX servers are 4.0 enterprise.

    -In looking at vsphere_pricing.pdf it seems now I have many features available, they are offered as advanced or Enterprise editions.

    In the table below, I did few features "BOLD" I see clearly available and who are supposed to be higher than the standard packages.

    Thus my confusion is - what license actually did I? Standard, as it says in the vCenter or higher license tab since obviously there are available features, which should not be in the standard?

    vSphere Standard includes:

    • VMware ESXi and VMware ESX (choice of the time of the deployment) 2

    • VMware vStorage VMFS

    • Four-way virtual SMP

    • VMware vCenter Server Agent

    • VMware vStorage API / VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB)

    • VMware vCenter Update Manager

    VMware HA

    • VMware vStorage Thin Provisioning

    vSphere Advanced includes:

    • VMware ESXi and VMware ESX (choice of the time of the deployment)

    • VMware vStorage VMFS

    • Four-way virtual SMP

    • VMware vCenter Server Agent

    • VMware vStorage API / VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB)

    VMware vCenter Update Manager

    VMware High Availability (HA)

    • VMware vStorage Thin Provisioning

    VMware VMotion

    • VMware hot add

    • VMware Fault Tolerance

    • VMware Data Recovery

    • VMware vShield Zones

    vSphere Enterprise includes:

    • VMware ESXi and VMware ESX (choice of the time of the deployment)

    • VMware vStorage VMFS

    • Four-way virtual SMP

    • VMware vCenter Server Agent

    • VMware vStorage API / VCB

    VMware vCenter Update Manager

    * • VMware HA *.

    • VMware vStorage Thin Provisioning

    VMware VMotion

    • VMware hot add

    VMware Fault Tolerance

    • VMware Data Recovery

    • VMware vShield Zones

    * • VMware Storage VMotion *.

    VMware DRS

    • VMware DPM

    vSphere Enterprise Plus includes:

    • VMware ESXi and VMware ESX (choice of the time of the deployment)

    • VMware vStorage VMFS

    • Eight-way virtual SMP

    • VMware vCenter Server Agent

    • VMware vStorage API / VCB

    VMware vCenter Update Manager

    * • VMware HA *.

    VMware vStorage Thin Provisioning

    VMware VMotion

    • VMware hot add

    VMware Fault Tolerance

    • VMware Data Recovery

    • VMware vShield Zones

    VMware Storage VMotion

    VMware DRS

    • VMware DPM

    • VMware vNetwork Distributed Switch

    • VMware Host Profiles

    Now the 2nd question (maybe I should have separated these, but I feel somehow it can be bound to the first)-when I create a distributed switch, the tab "hosts" is empty. I right click and select "add the host to the virtual switch distributed", but even once it gives me a window with no host has chosen.

    Is a licensing issue or config problem?

    If you have company VI3 then he improved to vSphere Enterprise.  And according to the characteristics you describe below, it looks like Enterprise license, that's what is activated in vCenter.  If you click on licenses in vCenter (Home\Administration\Licensing), see your Enterprise vSphere licenses?

    Regarding distributed switches, this option is available in vSphere Enterprise Plus then you will not be able to use. If you need the functionality of Enterprise Plus there is a promotion running until December 15, which allows you to update your enterprise license to Enterprise Plus licenses for a significant discount.  You should talk with your dealer on this subject if you are interested...

  • VMware Distributed Switch with VLAN

    Hi again,

    A lot of work with VLAN now.

    But just a quick Questions. Is there a documentation or HowTo Guides how to set up vSphare VMware Distributed Switch with several VLANS on a Switch GS724Tv4?

    But soon, I try to add a host or network, it is empty.

    This is probably an easy problem of VMware, but I try here first to see if someone has document guide HowTo so I can start with.

    Thank you

    Christian

    Never mind about this,

    I found the problem on my own, but perhaps a documentation would be great to have. But it's a good start to have the right license of VMware, before you start.

  • Questions about Satellite P10 554

    Hello

    I have 2 questions about my P10-554. I read on this forum but can't find anything that helps out me.

    First of all:
    When I try to turn the unit off after working, using even the closing of xp function or the power button, windows normally quit, but when it needs to turn off just reboot again. If I repeat the closing down directly after this restart, normally it turns off.
    This problem occur only when I use the power supply in battery mode.
    I can't say that to me...

    Second:
    I have a mini PCI Wlan card for my unit, works very well, but I wonder if it is possible to get the Wlan switch switch work whith it? Or is it only possible whith some special maps? It is not so important, but it would be nice to know if there is a trick or something to get the switch used.

    Best regards
    Gabbagandalf

    Hello

    Regarding your first question;
    I'm a bit confused of m are sure you n t use the restart option?
    I never noticed anything like that on my laptop

    Usually, if I use the Shut down option, I can choose between standby, hibernation, restart and shutdown. If I use the stop that the laptop turns off as it should.
    Maybe it's time to s for a reinstallation of the OS?

    On the second question.
    The switch on the left side for laptop was designed and developed to pass on the WLan card antenna.
    Usually, you should be able to use this switch and to toggle WLan card functionality

    Don t understand why it should not work?  :|

  • A few questions about the use of data and Cliq

    I have the cliq, however I chose to not get 3G (so I bought full fare). So I have a few questions about the phone and the use of 3G / 2 G/Edge:

    1 - is possible to disable completely the 2G / 3 G/Edge? I know you can switch between them, but are anyway just tell the phone to stop using them altogether since I'm not subbed to the service?

    2. when the update takes place, I guess we'll have to reconnect motoblur and etc, but if I don't have 3 G will I have motoblur connection problems after the update? Or he keeps the latest wifi settings so that it would connect to wifi to connect. When I first got my phone it was not a problem b/c I had 3G for the first month.

    I hope that makes sense, thanks!

    To stop all the data, I would like to download an application called APNDroid. He cut them all down. When you log on to blur you have 3G or WIFI doe this without getting a timeout error. During the process of setting up your Blur account, you can press the menu button and set up your wifi to work, this will connect you to Blur and your phone will be connected to the blur. If I were you I would be rethinking to do a data plan since you are really losing out on most of your main features of phones. It's your choice, however.

  • I have a Photosmart C7280 and s question about a decision of the network.

    I currently have two workstations connected to a router via ethernet cables.  They are connected to a single (not HP) printer with USB cable through a USB switch.  Two laptops to connect to the wireless router.  I could replicate the existing configuration with the C7280, but the idea of a network in which the laptops were allowed to participate is very attractive.  One of the laptop is running Windows version 7, the other computers running Linux.  If I go for an ethernet network, the laptops will be able to connect to the printer via the router?  If I go for a wireless network, desktop computers will be able to connect to the printer via their ethernet cables?  A couple of Wireless USB adapters are a possibility.

    I understand that you have questions about networking with your printer.

    Yes, wired network connections will be no problem to connect to a wifi connected printer.  Most routers bridge cable and wireless to work as a single network.  There are some routers between wired and wireless networks, but these are before any company grade routers and network equipment.

    A wired desktop computer will be able to print to a wireless printer as long as it is connected via the same router.  Conversely, a wireless computer can print to a printer connected Ethernet as long as it's the same router.

    I recommend using a network for the printer configuration, if possible, to avoid printing problems.  USB hubs have been known to cause printing problems, although this isn't always the case.

  • Question about the charging light on the venue Pro 11 (5130)

    I'm curious... read these discussions in recent weeks... found this work with the Tablet for about 2.5 hours after... I was up to 75% of battery. Connect the tablet to install a software... noticed 75%, not charging. Stop... removed the battery and put it back... He then read 75%, in charge. OK... so what's fixed now... a question about the manual of the system. Said that when the battery is charging, a white light is supposed to be on... where? When that I start, I see a momentary white light at the top of the screen, by the front camera... but when it is plugged and the loading and off... white light no.... No a - I misread? Thank you

    Light (color is white when the load) is located next to the power switch (top, right). Mine re-load very fast.

    White light goes off (or does not) when the Tablet is fully charged (the light on the charger is always on when it is plugged into the outlet)...

  • Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

    I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

    (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
    (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
    (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
    (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
    Thank you very much!

    I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

    (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
     
    Yes, the registration period is between June 2, 2012 to January 31, 2013.
    (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
     
    Yes, the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8 will allow you to create a bootable DVD or you can grab the ESD file and save it.
    (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
     
    Yes and there are better ways to reinstall Windows 8 without using the installation disc, you can use the reset and refresh.
     
     

    These steps will take you through refreshing your PC:

    · Press the Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

    · Click settings

    · Click change PC settings

    · Click general in the left column

    · Under refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Start

    Then follow the instructions that will be provided on-screen to cool your PC.

    (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
     
    As long as you have a recovery disk which you should create or use the construction in the recovery partition, Yes, it will self activate.
    Thank you very much!
  • Questions about LR CC conversion

    I am a user of LR5/CS6 and planned to convert it into CC because it came out.  I have questions about the conversion process.  More precisely:

    1. I use a single catalog LR5.  Can I continue to use this same catalog LR CC or I have to create and populate a new catalog?

    2 will be my LR5 brushes, presets, calibrations etc camera automatically fill in LR CC or they will have to be reloaded?

    3 will be my actions CS6, adjustment presets, application frameworks, etc. automatically fill in PS CC or these will reloaded?

    I guess, overall, my question is: how transparent is the move to the CC?  Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide including the pitfalls you've encountered.

    Richard

    Once you switch to LR CC or LR 6, you will have two files different catalogue (the catalogue LR 5 and LR 6 CC/LR catalog), but you should not use the catalogue LR 5 more. There is no benefit, just use the most recent catalog.

    Yes, your brushes and presets and calibrations automatically become part of the new catalog.

  • Distributed switch

    Assuming that the new host that is added to the existing cluster is the same server, I have a question:

    If the cluster is using distributed switch, how to set up the new host to use the existing configuration of distributed switch?

    Once the host and the network/uplinks are correctly configured, simply follow steps shon in Add hosts in a Distributed Switch vSphere

  • Management on a distributed switch network

    Hey guys,.

    I have a noob question - is there a problem given the management network for a distributed switch?
    Someone has said that if I lose the vCenter for some reason, I won't be able to connect to hosts. It seems logical, but I'm not sure that's true.


    Thank you!

    vCenter server unavailability will not stop manage you your ESXi host directly if you have migrated vmk management service VDS.

    worst case, you have an option under Network Restore Options in DCUI from host to migrate vmk management back to vs.
