Question about the right way to implement the network connectivity.

Hey guys -.

I've read a few articles and the configuration of many times on this practice guide, but I can't seem to understand what the way ' own/best practices' to build the network aspect of the VMware host to the switch.  This environment is my lab environment, FYI.

Can someone please shed some light on this.  I followed it - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1004127

My scenario is:

-2 hosts ESXi 4.1 running

-Each host is the same hardware

-Each host has 2 network cards

-Both connected to a single 3560 (although the 2 are available)

-Each host connect to a San (running OpenFiler) on iSCSI

-VLAN 5 is involved

-The two hosts in vCenter in an environment non-clustered (for now)

  • So, each host must connect to the switch as a trunk or an access port?
  • If the sheath is the method, which is done tagging?  During the switch, or the vSwitch on each host?
  • How do you know when to choose between safe or not safe?
  • Must each host have 1 vSwitch for VMs and a vSwitch separated for the iSCSI connection?
  • Should the 2 network cards be associated to in VMware to the switch?  Or should they should be a channel of the switch port?  Or none of these options.

I'm still a newb to the VMware line, so I'm really just practice a lot lately.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

3. Yes, but some companies, like to give this control of security to the network instead of the VM team team. I would say just trunk, but I'm sure that there are borderline cases.

4. Yes, I would be to separate traffic by giving iSCSI it's own NETWORK ports and also separate iSCSI traffic to its own network to the physical switch instead of just VLAN.

You are welcome. Good luck!

  • Questions about the network resource class.

    I am running Windows 7 Enterprise x 64 SP1.

    In Windows Explorer, if I click on 'Network' in the navigation panel, it will browse the network and show me resources available network (see photo).

    The resources are grouped into categories, such as 'Network infrastructure', 'Media Devices', 'Storage', 'Computers', etc.

    I have two network storage devices: one of them is Western Digital MyBookLive (host name is "MyBookLive"), the other is QNAP TS - 469 Pro (host name is "QNAP").  I can access both by UNC (\\MyBookLive\Share, \\QNAP\Public, etc.).

    I noticed that 'MyBookLive' shows in the 'Storage' category, which is the desired behavior.  But "QNAP" shows as "other devices."

    My question is - how does windows rank network resource?  How does Windows know if a resource is 'Storage' vs 'Network Infrastructure '?

    I HAVE A COMPAQ LAPTOP AND I LOST MY LOGIN PASWORK IS THERE A WAY TO DO THIS WITH RESET TO REBUILD THE LAPTOP

    If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

  • Satellite A300 - question about the MIDI connection

    Can someone help me?

    I have a computer laptop satellite A300 and want to connect it to my computer to stream TV and movies.
    I don't see where I would plug MIDI to my computer.
    Is it possible to do with this model?

    If not, can I get a plug that would stretch the capacity of the computer or I have to get a new computer?

    Thank you

    Sorry, but I m confused
    You said you want to connect the Satellite A300 to a computer
    Is this correct?

    You can connect two computers via a LAN cable. But I have no idea why you talking about connecting MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)

  • A question about the network card set

    Hi all

    In the vSphere Client, I can not change the type of a network card. But with PowerCLI, in case of power off the power of virtual machines, I can execute the following line:

    get-vm <virtual_machine_name> | get-networkadapter | set-networkadapter -type "vmxnet3"

    Is it correct method to change adapter type? (I need to keep tha MAC address)

    When you change the type of NETWORK card, Windows treats it as a new device.

    You will have to redo all the IP settings on the map 'new '.

    The easiest way is first get IP parameters, with the Get-VMGuestNetworkInterface cmdlet.

    Then change the type of NETWORK adapter and then redefine the IP parameters with the Set-VMGuestNetworkInterface cmdlet.

  • Newbe question about the network configuration of ESXi 3.5

    I have ESXi 3.5 works well on a Dell Poweredge T300 server.  I want to connect a Netgear ReadyNas Pro Business Edition for this Dell and connect by iscsi.

    I want to connect 1 network card of the ReadyNas for 1 network card on the Dell printer.

    My question is on the Dell when I go to the ESXi server and customize by pressing F2 and goto network settings I see the following:

    X vmnic0 embeeded nic1

    NIC2 integrated vmnic1 used by vswitch1

    I'm may be thick but can you explain what NIC on the ESXi server is used for access interenet and I need to configure for iscsi?  I thought that it should be obvious, but it is vmnic0 or vmnic1?

    Your ESXi host has two vswitchs configured what uplinks to physical NIC in the system.

    vSwitch0 what uplinks to vmnic0 (who, although a red x, indicating a problem seems to be very well) this vswitch holds you management interface (IP 192.168.2.107) and a portgroup of VM for your virtual machines. You also have an another vswitch vswitch1 what uplinks to GB NIC vmnic1. This vswitch has unused virtual machine port group. Also a VLAN ID has been set for this vswitch which would lead me to believe that VST is / was operating on that host in the past.

    Haven't you set up this? If this isn't the case, I would get with one who did.

  • Questions about the implementation of clusters of storage and DTS on active cluster

    I have a few questions about the implementation of clusters of data store and SRS storage in VSphere 5.1.

    We have a data center with about 15 HP blades and a few servers non-lame.  The hosts are all either VSphere 5.0 or 5.1.  Our back-end storage is an EMC VNX 5700 with about 20 stores of data.  All the VMWare is managed by VCenter 5.1 running on a dedicated physical machine.

    Currently, each data store is used individually; No piles of data store are put in place.  When a new virtual machine is created, the administrator usually chooses the data with the most space store.  Periodically, we will go back and manually storage vMotion machines to balance the load.

    Recently, we have expanded the VNX storage, so we now have LUNS in different pools, with different levels of performance.

    What I would do is set up for the data store clusters, so that us when a virtual machine is created, the administrator must not know what data store is in which pool.  Also take advantage of the DRS storage so that the burden of storage will be "refine" himself a little.

    I know the setting up of a cluster of storage in a 'clean' environment is quite simple, but my concern is creation/conversion data warehouses existing in active production in the cluster, while they are used.

    If I access the screen "data warehouses and store data from clusters ', right-click on the data center and create a cluster, and then move the various data stores in the new cluster, will there be an interruption in the production running systems?

    I also wonder about activation of storage i/o control.  It is not currently enabled on data warehouses.  I know it's useful for the StorageDRS, but will be allowing any negative impact on the system?  If I turn on the warehouses of data, is there anything else I should do or set in addition to all that allows him?

    Finally, we are in the process of Site Recovery Manager configuration.  SRS has an impact on the configuration of the data clusters and DTS store?

    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Hello

    Clusters of data and using DTS store doesn't impact RS even if you create a cluster of data store for storage of replicated data and another for everyone else, this way you machines virtual you want to replicate are not moved on warehouses of data that are not replicated , but will still have the ability to move if there is a conflict.

    Gregg

    With all due respect but SRM and DTS don't go together. SRM does not at all support the use of DTS. So if you are configuring SRM forget DTS for now.

    Reason for this is that SRM knows no DTS and VMs can be in flight when a failover should occur, and bad things can happen. Also, the protection breaks when a virtual computer is moved between data warehouses in a cluster data store.

    In short: don't go there.

  • Just a quick question about the appearance of the cluster

    Hello, this is Matthew, just a quick question about the appearance of the cluster

    Is there anyway to rearrange the order of the elements? I know cutting automatic resizing, I could move the items by hand. But if I use the cluster somewhere else, I have to move the items again...

    What I want is of the order of "Mx My Mz Ax Ay Az Temp voltage CS".

    Is there a quicker way to deal with?

    THz so much!

    You can right-click the border of the cluster and choose "arrange control cluster...". "The user interface is not as intuitive as it could be, but it will allow you to reorder items. If you use the cluster in several places, you should make the cluster in a type definition and replace all current uses of the latter with the type definition, so that they all match. They will also update automatically when you make changes to the type definition. Otherwise, you could have a situation where you have multiple groups with the same data types, but with elements in a different order, and your data will be getting a new denominated, when wire you the whole clusters. The data will be in the same order, but given that the item labels are in a different order, you can't get the data you want, when ungroup you by name.

  • 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?

    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

  • A few Questions about the advanced Actions window

    Hello

    I have a few questions about the progress of the Actions (using the version of track CP7)

    1. What is the function of the action to "continue?"   Out of the peak action and advance the playback cursor?

    2. What does mean this comment "Nested calls to action advanced is a nice improvement."? Is the advanced decision at the top of a page of action tabs?

    3. What is the function of the option "custom" in the IF statement - "preform action if - custom", it doesn't seem to do anything for me?

    4. where can I get information about the timeline / playhead interaction with advanced actions, i.e. where the playhead is going again at the beginning of the slide. slide custom question - display button, e.g. verification of responses, comments - when all the objects are at the beginning of the timeline. I'm looking more for the read head of infromation functionality rather than how to implement this type of question.

    Thank you

    Donal.

    Continue: If an advanced standard action is triggered by a button, this will not trigger the playback head. If you want out, you can use continues. Continue can also be a choice in a conditional action, when one orders branching has nothing to special, but in advance. Continuous is also the "dummy" statement/command (this is the official name of a line in the dialog box advanced actions) If a statement has become unusable due to some reasons, it will be replaced by continue

    There is no nested call stocks advanced possible right now, one of my many feature requests. It would be sort of a subroutine that you can use over and over again, instead of having to create each time when necessary.

    A decision is one of the conditions to be an advanced conditional action. They allow to create more complex actions, as a loop or arrays are not possible. All decisions are executed in sequence and always.

    Custom: is a combination of or but it is rather limited, because you cannot use parentheses.

    I guess you'd better visit my blog if you want to learn more about the advanced actions.

    I also did several Webinars on stocks advanced, last this afternoon (on the sharing of the actions) for Adobe. They are all available on request.

  • Questions about the stores in iProcurement

    All,

    I have a few questions about the implementation of iProcurement stores-

    1 oracle comes seeded with 2 stores "Backend" and "Exchange.Oracle.com. We do not have the use of these stores. I don't see an option to turn them off. Is it advisable to delete them? They occupy unnecessary space and are seen first. I read this on Metalink Note ID 429470.1 - "NOTE: while the value can be changed, it is highly recommended to not under any circumstances ever remove"Main store"page stores to manage content in iProcurement catalog administrator responsibility.» Do not know why.

    2. we have a Punchout for Dell U.S. catalog store and a catalog of information for Dell International. Buyers of Dell are iProcurement to each punchout to place their orders from Dell for the USA (shopping cart returns to iProcurement) - or - just use the store Dell International to go to an external URL and place their orders here (who do not return to iProcurement). What we see is - when the user clicks on the icon Dell us, it is taken directly to the URL of the PunchOut of Dell, but when he clicks on the Dell International icon, he was first taken to the list of catalogs available to the store (only 1 available catalog) and the user must then click again on the link Dell International. Is there a way to configure the Dell International icon to behave the way behaves in the Punchout icon - i.e. directly take the user to the Dell page without a need to show the list of catalogs.

    Hey,.
    To answer your Questions
    1. you can always delete those either if you want to... The reason why the link Meta Notes say not only not to delete the main store is
    i. because main store has all of the Local content in iProcurement (i.e. If you have any installation of items in the inventory you and them Module iProcurement Enabled (IE can be purchased at iProcurement) and any other article of local catalogues/categories Loaded using the BULK LOADING in iProcurement is also removed.)
    II. you can always delete the information Exchange Oracle store if you do not use.
    I would advise so do not remove the main store. Instead, you can change the sequence of the display of the stores you iProcurement Page.
    Browsing ==> Internet shopping Catalog Admin (RESP) ==> eContent crib ==> content management ==> stores ==> press the update sequence and make sure that the sequence number for main is superior to any other store so that the hand store falls last in the House of iProcurement Page

    2.i don't think that there is no option to do this. but you can always open an SR with Oracle about it and ask this question\

    hope that answers your Question.

    Thank you

  • A few questions about the upgrade on Satellite A300-144

    Sorry for the typos, English is not my mother tongue.
    I want to ask some questions about the upgrade of a300-144.

    * Some info first.*

    CPU: T2370 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/34445/Intel-Pentium-Processor-T2370-1M-Cache-1_73-GHz-533-MHz-FSB]).
    Chipset: GM965 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/29821/Intel-82GM965-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller]).

    * Questions.*

    1. my frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

    2 Intel said that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?

    3 I know, taken of my CPU is μFCPGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB]) is a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

    > 1. My frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

    The speed of the memory is related on the material. This means that the FSB is responsible for the limitation.
    If the FSB would allow support 667 MHz then the memory would also at this speed.

    > 2. Intel says that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?
    The memory depends on the chipset. So if the chipset supports 4 GB of RAM, you should be capable of this move to 4 GB of RAM

    > 3. I know, my CPU is? FC-PGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 (http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB) will be a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

    It might be possible that the new processor would be fully supported by the BIOS, but in most cases it should not be a problem if the chipset would support the new processor.
    But as far as I know the upgrade of the CPU is not supported by Toshiba or any other manufacturers of portable and its your own risk to run laptop with the new processor.

  • Question about the recovery partition

    Hello.

    I have a question about the recovery of HARD drive partition.

    If I do the operation to clear the hard disk option in the wizard it will remove * all * or it will keep my partition recovery in this way I can come back later. I want to know because I would like to put on a different OS.

    I know he said he would, but caution in the PDF, I found it says that on a normal recovery too (that he would remove each partition) and I'm a little confused about how the recovery actually worked.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly with this option to erase.

    In General, Toshiba Recovery disk will wipe your entire HDD to restore factory settings correctly. This means that if you start from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen, everything will be removed.

    In addition, the recovery disk doesn t create a recovery partition. It is not available. Disk copy just the files on the second partition in folder HDDrecovery to start an installation of HARD drive recovery.
