Remove the network card

Hello

I want to go on a list of virtual machines and remove their network card.

Is there a workflow that receives an array of virtual machines and remove the network card?

If not, someone create a workflow\script do?

Thank you!

Here is an example of code to remove the network adapters one virtual machine (vm of input parameter)

var nicsToRemove = [];

for each (var device in vm.config.hardware.device) {
  if (device instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet
   || device instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet2
   || device instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet3
   || device instanceof VcVirtualE1000
   || device instanceof VcVirtualPCNet32
   || device instanceof VcVirtualEthernetCard) {
    // Here you can add some custom logic to decide whether to remove the network adapter
    // This sample code will remove all network adapters
      nicsToRemove.push(device);
  }
}  

var vmConfigSpec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
var deviceChanges = [];
var deviceConfigSpec = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec() ;  

for each (var nic in nicsToRemove) {
  deviceConfigSpec.operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.remove;
  deviceConfigSpec.device = nic;  

  deviceChanges.push(deviceConfigSpec);
}  

vmConfigSpec.deviceChange = deviceChanges;  

try {
  myTask = vm.reconfigVM_Task(vmConfigSpec);
} catch (ex) {
  System.warn("Error while reconfiguring VM: " + ex);
}

  • Removing the network card

    Ok...

    Recently I tried to get out of my motherboard, all the components, all of my HPE 300z and put them all in a new computer case.

    However I have just found out that my wireless LAN card prevents me from out the motherboard. You see, the card (which is a 1 X 1 inch chip apparently embedded in my Board), has its antenna located on top of my Tower, hidden under the top of the coververing page. The wire, who looks like she is permanently attached to both the chip and antenna, passes through a small hole in the intestine in the high my case to get to the antenna, which as I have said, is located in the space between the two cover very high and the top of my case. This poses a dilemma, in which it is impossible to remove the 'antenna' because it does not take into the small hole in the top of my case.

    By 'antenna', I mean a small piece of metal may be 1 cm top, 2cm across which is held in place by a screw. When I looked very carefully, I've seen next to him, serious ANT-3 marks on the computer case. I noticed there was one of them with a knurled further on each of the 4 corners, ANT-2, ANT-1, etc..

    Then... I wonder, 1.) If any of you have an idea what I'm talking about, or if I don't make any sense

    2.) If you don't know what I'm talking about, is anyway I can get this card? I'll just have to cut the wire and size $50 in the process? Should I call tech support and see if they help? Should I consider in Best Buy and have the geek squad look?

    -Thank you for reading this, any help is appreciated

    Here is a picture of what my wirless lan antenna looks like - http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/9710/lanantenna.jpg

  • Remove the network adapter - error

    Hello

    I use the following code to remove all NICs connected to the specific virtual machine.

    Sometimes the workflow completes without error, but most of the time, I get the following error in the vCenter: invalid configuration for the device '1'.

    What can I change in my code?

    var nicsToRemove = [];

    for each {(device var in vm.config.hardware.device)

    If (device instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet

    || device instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet2

    || device instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet3

    || device instanceof VcVirtualE1000

    || device instanceof VcVirtualPCNet32

    || device instanceof VcVirtualEthernetCard) {}

    Here, you can add custom logic to decide whether to remove the network card

    This code example removes all network adapters

    nicsToRemove.push (device);

    }

    }

    var vmConfigSpec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();

    var deviceChanges = [];

    var deviceConfigSpec = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();

    System.log (VM. (Name)

    for each {(var nic in nicsToRemove)

    deviceConfigSpec.operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.remove;

    deviceConfigSpec.device = nic;

    System.log ("the nic is:" + nic.connectable.status);

    vmConfigSpec.deviceChange = deviceChanges;

    If (nic.connectable.status == 'ok') {}

    deviceChanges.push (deviceConfigSpec);

    }

    }

    try {}

    myTask = vm.reconfigVM_Task (vmConfigSpec);

    } catch (ex) {}

    System.Warn ("the reconfiguration of the VM error:" + ex);

    }

    It looks like your code is wrong here:

    for each {(var nic in nicsToRemove)

    deviceConfigSpec.operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.remove;

    deviceConfigSpec.device = nic;

    System.log ("the nic is:" + nic.connectable.status);

    vmConfigSpec.deviceChange = deviceChanges;

    If (nic.connectable.status == 'ok') {}

    deviceChanges.push (deviceConfigSpec);

    }

    }

    I think it should be:

    for each {(var nic in nicsToRemove)

    deviceConfigSpec.operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.remove;

    deviceConfigSpec.device = nic;

    System.log ("the nic is:" + nic.connectable.status);

    If (nic.connectable.status == 'ok') {}

    deviceChanges.push (deviceConfigSpec);

    }

    }

    vmConfigSpec.deviceChange = deviceChanges;

    You also probably want to get out the task if deviceChanges.length<= 0="" since="" there="" is="" no="" nic="" in="" the="" desired="">

  • My Windows 7 computer is no more can detect the wired network, but all my other wireless and wireline devices connect very well. Replace the network card and no change.

    Hello!  This morning my Windows 7 (the motherboard Acer) desktop ceased to recognize the wired connection to its network card.  In other words, it shows kind of connection, but notes "no Internet access.  It connects to a surfboard by Motorola through one Ooma hub, although I encounter the same problem when I connect to the desktop directly to the surfboard.  All other devices Wi-wired and that connect to the surfboard are functioning properly.

    Thinking that the Realtek NIC on the motherboard Asus was the problem, I installed a new Trendnet network interface card in the PCI slot.  I disabled the network card to the motherboard via the BIOS settings.  No change.  Always 'no Internet access.

    Time Warner Cable test the modem from their office and said it was working properly.  I also connected a laptop directly to the surf board using the same cable, and he was able to connect to the internet.

    Can someone help me understand what the problem is?  Thank you!

    You have McAfee? McAfee has been updated at the same time as the last batch of updates from Windows 7 and this is the cause of problems of internet connection for most, if not all, users of McAfee.

    See the communication from this "criticism" - McAfee

    Some customers may experience a loss of network connectivity and/or errors in McAfee Security Center after a recent update

    You should make the fix McAfee, if necessary. There are corresponding communications for their enterprise products.

    I had to run the removal of McAfee Development tool a few times before and it caused a problem with the license if the PC was not connected to the internet during the abduction.

  • BIOS update removes vswitches network cards

    I'm upgrading some BL465 ESX 3.0.2, and 3.5 U4 G1 HP blades.  On one, I did the upgrade, then found that there was a much more recent BIOS from April 2009.  So I've updated, then discovered that on all vswitches except the Service Console, network cards had been removed.  Through the wizard to add their return worked well.

    On another Blade, I did the upgrade of the BIOS first, then checked.  Same with ESX still at 3.0.2.  Someone at - he seen this before?

    Yes I had this running HP firmware cd, nic firmware updated and ESX essentially see the NETWORK card as good as new. Instead of vmnic 0-3, I then had 4-7. Re-configuration / console on the online ordering vSwitches not even the vSwitch SC had an adapter that are entrusted to him. Even changed both my HBA name.

    Afterwards, I always Firmware CD before a full renistall said the next version of ESX. Keep coherent whole that way too.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - 13 M - how to replace the network card?

    Hello I have the Satellite Pro P300 - 13M.

    My sister fell on my UTP cable and so he was taken out by force and because of that "holding-pings" on the front of the port are bent or broken, so whenever I put in a cable with traction slightess or accidental poke I'm new offline...

    I'm out of my warranty period, is it possible to fix this? Can I replace it myself?
    USB network adapters are a viable solution to replace if I can't replace it?

    Help > _

    To resolve this issue, you must replace the motherboard. The network card or a network location is soldered on the motherboard and cannot be traded.

    In addition, it would be not covered by warranty. This isn't a matter of Toshiba, this is caused by the customer.

    However, if you want to repair you must contact an ASP or search you on eBay for a card mother of second hand.

  • Unable to connect to the internet with the NETWORK card and Windows Millennium Edition.

    Hello

    I turned on my old computer yesterday, who has installed Windows Millennium Edition. At the back of the computer is an Ethernet port which is marked as LIEN ACT. The NIC with this port is Realtek 8139 PCI Fast Internet Adapter. I spend two hours on the Internet configuration and I did and finally got connected, but then, a few hours after, something went wrong and the Internet and the NETWORK card has stopped working! And the card has disappeared from the Device Manager, but he's still showing in network in Control Panel. I opened the computer and I reconnected it to the slot, but it did not help. At the back of the computer next to this port are two LEDs - green indicates the power that lights up when I plug the Internet cable and the other orange indicates actual connection. But now these two LEDs are not indicating something even when I plugged in the cable to the Internet, which comes from my router. In the computer a Dial Up connection PCI is installed too, but I disabled it. I used Dial-Up in 2002. So, I need help.
    But I know that I can connect with this Ethernet card to the Internet because it worked for 3 hours, I've loaded the pages and downloaded programs.
    Please don't point, should I upgrade Windows!
    Thank you.

    Hi friend,
    You can try a Bing search on connectivity to Win ME, I don't know there are still a few old sites that are not taken down you will find a few FAQ on.

    Good luck on your adventure.

  • Close the network card?

    I have a machine that I have leveled off for XP Pro SP3 because I have a few HW record that ONLY works on XP.

    I want comtrol machine including = WOL WakeOnLAN remotely.

    I had an old IBM Thinkcenter used for recording HW, but I want a bit more powerful machine of Noah - let's call it MC.

    The MC has been running Windows 7 before but now ranked out of XP Pro SP3 and it works fine - with the exception of WOL installation.

    I simply does not work and I see that the network adapter is SHUT OFF when the machine is turned off - the old IBM ThinkCenter I can always see the LED light when it is turned off.

    I beleave there are new drivers for the network card, but I checked the settings on the parameters WOL and I did also the settings in the BIOS.

    Still no light in the LED on the back of the RJ45 of computers. Also I see no light on the swichport where the MC cable is inserted into the switch.

    It is on the Ethernet card on board and it is a NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet with "drivers".

    What can be wrong here and how I can fix the problem?

    You may have read my first post that I deleted later because I had completely misread your post before responding.  As I said then, Wake on Lan is controlled by the motherboard and firmware of the NETWORK adapter, it is not dependent on the operating system, a compatible computer without any OS installed WOL can be started by WOL providing that it is properly enabled in the BIOS and NETWORK card firmware.   Windows (or other operating system) really has nothing as such to do with function Wake on Lan, the extent to which any OS with WOL is limited because it can enable the feature in the firmware of the NETWORK adapter through the drivers or other utilities provided by the manufacturer of the device.  If it worked before then you know that the computer is able to do, was not because Windows 7 has been installed, it worked because it has been correctly configured in the firmware of the NETWORK adapter and the BIOS.  When you installed Windows XP it is most likely did not have the drivers for the NETWORK card and it may have reset the NIC to default settings that cannot be reset correctly with the drivers you have installed later.  Have you installed the card mother/chipset drivers?  They may be needed for other drivers work correctly.

    Wake on Lan has everything to do with the BIOS, it is implemented by the motherboard.  If your computer is capable of WOL (which we know that it is) there is an option for it in the BIOS, it might be under a different name, like "Power Up on PCI device" or something else.  If you don't see a power management Option in the BIOS, it might be in the advanced settings, it's there somewhere.  If Windows can have changed WOL BIOS settings during installation is something that I don't know, but I can tell you that Windows can change some settings in the BIOS, you can adjust the timers BIOS to start the computer at scheduled time so who knows what he might be able to change.

  • I can't connect you on some client computers on a domain environment unless I have remove the network cable.

    I have almost five machines on my LAN that cannot log on to the domain, unless I have remove the network cable and then it connects.
    Please advise?

    On the domain controller or problems by communicating with the domain controller, when you remove the network cable, you connect with that caching of credentials.  Also look at the DNS settings on the RODC, the RODC DNS should point to itself, make sure that the machines are all on the same subnet.

  • PC laptop Pavilion 17: what is the NETWORK card in the Pavilion 17?

    This machine is my daughter-in-law. She had a HD crash & replaced the HD. She bought Win 7 Pro 64 bits/load

    on the new HD. I got all operational except for the network card.  I need to load the drivers for the NETWORK card, but I can't find any explanation as to what is the make and model in this machine.  News machine below:

    Model 17-e049WM

    Product E0J75UA #ABA

    Looks like it's realtek, both wireless and NIC manufacturer. Although the model of the NETWORK adapter is not available, you can download these drivers from here
