Rename the NIC on ESXi

• Problems of configuration of the NIC in ESXi 4.1

  I have a HP DL380 G7

  I loaded ESXi, the server has 6 physical NIC, 4 on board and 2 in a PCI Intel card.

  The system will accommodate 3 VM - all 2008 R2 Enterprise

  2 servers, I want the team to failover and load balancing

  I have configured my NIC this way

  NIC 0 dedicated to managing the virtual computer

  1 NETWORK card dedicated to a single server running as a domain controller

  Map NETWORK 2 and 5 I want the team to failover and a faster flow on a TS

  NIC 3 and 4 I want the team to failover and a faster flow SQL database running

  I segragated 2 NICd dual servers have a NETWORK card on each card, where a map should fail

  Here's where I lose myself-

  How can I add network cards to the actual virtual machines correctly?

  If the network adapters are associated, I see 1 NIC in each virtual computer or will I see 3 NICs in the actual virtual machine?

  If a virtual computer uses a bundled pair of network adapters, I should add the two network adapters, the settings of the virtual machine?

  If a virtual machine uses a pair of network cards grouped and I see 2 network cards in the actual virtual machine, I need to assign an IP address to each NIC?

  Sorry for so many questions, I'm just getting confused by properly installing network cards.

  I've included a screenshot of what I'm trying to accomplish.

  Vmnic0 is 1 Gbit/s and the others are at 100 Mbps.  Using 2 different physical switches?

  If so, I would put all 3 VMs on vSwitch1.  When you create each virtual machine you can assign just a single vmnic to it.  Then bind the vmnic for the VM port to vSwitch1 Group (which is called Terminal Server now).   Virtual machines will not be limited to 100 Mbps when communicating with each other.

• Change the name of the logfile refelect esxi host name

  Hello

  I'm changing the name of the log file to reflect the name of each host name in listed in a file text How would I have done that?

  Disconnect-VIServer $varHost - confirm: $false
  
  The script ##End

  End CODE

  ---------------

  The cmdlet Get - Log do not create the destination folder if it does not exist, so you will need to test for this condition.

  AFAIK, you don't need to connect to each ESXi individually when you are connected to the vCenter.

  Since the discharge of generated log file name is rather cryptic, I rename the file normally and add a timestamp.

  You could do something like that

  $clusterName = "mycluster.

  $FilePath = 'S:\Get-Logs\Logs\$($clusterName) ".

  If (!) ((Test-Path-path $FilePath)))

  {

  Novelty - ItemType Directory - Path $FilePath

  }

  $varHost = get-Cluster-name $cluserName | Get-VMHost

  {foreach ($ESX to $varHost)

  $destPath = "$($FilePath)-$($ESX.). Name.Split('.') [0])"

  If (!) ((Test-Path-path $destPath)))

  {

  Novelty - ItemType Directory - Path $destPath

  }

  $logName = get - Log - VMHost $ESX - Bundle - DestinationPath $destPath

  If ($LogName)

  {

  Rename-Item - Path $logName - NewName "$($destPath)-$($ESX.). Name.Split('.') [0])-$((Get-Date).) ToString('yyyy-MM-dd-hh-mm')).

  }

• Compatibility of the NICs to lab home

  Hello

  I am trying to install the new version of ESXi as nested in an ESXi6 physical host server model but may not recognize the NIC card, I would buy the new one deadline I have only one for now, but I don't know any compatible PCI adapter for my PC.

  Any ideas?

• VM rename the question?

  Hi all

  I have ESXi 4.1 server. on this server, I created a guest operating system named 'testvm '. I've renamed 'testvm'.even "production server", the data store files exists with the name of "records datastore still in testvm.vmx, testvm.vmdk,..."why the old name?»

  If you have vCenter and Storage vMotion, you can migrate the comments (change data store) that renames the underlying files. A change of name of an object no renames the underlying files associated with it.

• Adding a NIC to ESXi 4

  Hello

  I'm experimenting with ESXi 4, and I just tried to add a network adapter to a host. It is a Netgear GA311 gigabit card that I just picked up at staples. Never checked the HCL list, but this is just a test on the old hardware, in any way, so I wasn't expecting everything to be completely perfect.

  I checked a driver on http://downloads.VMware.com/d/info/datacenter_downloads/vmware_vsphere_4/4#drivers_tools and does not see my card. So, if my card is not a pilot, I'm out of luck? Is there a generic driver I can use. I am not concerned to obtain 100% of the performance of this card. In fact, I do not yet really on performance at this stage. I just want to see if I can assign an additional NIC to a VM on the host and let others related to the integrated card.

  If there is any way I can set it up as a generic NIC, which would save the trouble to return it and get a card in the HCL.

  Thank you

  John

  If the NETWORK adapter is not on the HCL, then chances are you either GROUND or have a LOT of hunting and fiddling in front of you. Even in this case, there is not that big a chance to get NETWORK card to work, all the... HCL tells you when the drivers for the NETWORK adapter are actually INCLUDED in the ESX/ESXi to build. That's what you REALLY want... While you can add material to an ESX/ESXi version/version that comes out after the build is released via the drivers available from the VMware site, there is really no "generic" drivers that work with ESX/ESXi. Put as simply as possible, ESX/ESXi is a term OS so drivers for Windows, or versions of Linux, do not work. ESX has a Console Service that is installed as part of the installation which is based on a distribution of Linux, but even this is severely modified...

  You are the best solution would be to return this netgear card and pick up one that is on the HCL liberation of ESXi, you intend to use. I assure you that HCL has the NIC listed for more than just an ESXi 4, make sure that it is also the ESXi 4.1 list so that you are not looking to do it all over again when you go to 4.1...

  The best maps, in my opinion, are those of Intel (and are on the HCL). Of course, you want to Go, and I would opt for a dual-port NETWORK adapter if it isn't a quad port.

  Go ahead, watch the official HCL for the equipment before buy you them. If it is not listed, I wouldn't buy it... Chances are, places like staples will have points you can use. You'll end up their order online, or go to a shop that can special for you order material (if they don't already have server in stock class equipment)... Single NIC Gb should run you in the range $30 + with double NETWORK card port running up to $150... I know it may seem like a lot, but they rank real Server NIC, NOT just for any old office... Class/category server equipment is held to a MUCH higher level that you slap in your average office (or even a high quality desktop computer)... The next closest series would be class workstation (true) material. I am referring to those who are taking double, powered with four memory slots server class processor (usually 8 +).

  BTW, a QUICK search in the section of VMware HCL IO devices using the version of ESX/ESXi 4.1, name of partner: Intel and Type: network, gave 85 hits... Some of those who are for 10 GB of NETWORK card, but there are a lot of 1 GB NIC that is completely compatible with ESX/ESXi 4.1 as well as the 4.0 versions (and many of them indicating compatibility with the old reelases). Begin to track down those listed on sites like newegg.com until you find one you like (number of prizes and the port)...

  Personally, I use a double and a port quad Intel GB NIC (the two server level) inside my ESXi 4.1 home host... Yes, they were NOT cheap (~ $400 for the quad, $150 - $200 for the two), but stability and performance to make the expense worth it... Not to mention how long they are supposed to last, even during the long sessions of I/O high.

• Support Quad port PCiE NIC to ESXi 3.5 Installable U3

  I have a Dell 2900 III which works very well with ESXi via onboard network cards.

  I need to add additional ports and hoped to do quad port NIC to get the most bang by the extension slot. Problem is that I can't find.  I checked the HCL, and it seems that ESXi supports only NICs to double port.  Is this the case?  Can anyone out there tell me if they have quad port NIC with ESXi, and if so, what model?

  See you soon.

  Quad-port NIC Intel are actually two dual-port chips on one card.  It should work fine.

• How to stop Motion 5 to rename the items?

  How to stop Motion 5 to rename the items?

  For example, I have a folder named "Box" inside this folder are 5 additional folders and in these files are text and circles/squares etc.  Once I have copy and insert the name of the parent is "copy of zone 1", the names of children is now "copy print"1", 1 paper copy etc, and children are also name with a copy to the front and a number in the back.  If you like 50 items in the folder, you need to go to each name and remove the copy, then move to the back of the name and remove the number.  That would make 100 corrections.  If you duplicated "Box" 10 times that would be 500 times I have to delete the copies and 500 times I have to delete the number.  I am an organized person and I do not confuse names like "copy paper 27.

  I only want that this

  'Copy of movement case 12-11'

  to look like this

  "Movement block 12.

  It takes a lot of time to remove the copy at the front and out the number on the back of name.

  In Autodesk Maya 3D they do something similar, it turns 'apples' in 'pasted apples 1 ", so created a script that deletes all the text"stuck"in the name and number on the back the text name.

  I think it's a pretty silly renaming procedure.  Adds text to the front and rear.  Makes me wonder where they got their education.

  David

  David, for starters I can't duplicate what you describe, where things are added to the front and back automatically, you may need to clarify some things.  Looks like what you're saying is you have Group in movement named "Box" If you copy and paste the group, the name of the new group is "copy of copy of box?  Or you add 'Copy from' before the name of the Group at some point before making a copy/duplicate of the Group?

  Movement, like the Finder and many other applications, will add an object in double with 'copy', then add numbers after that. The structure of renaming seems simple enough. For example:

  1. start by a group of layers / named 'box '.

  2. copy and paste "Box" will give you "Box copy.

  3 copy and paste 'Copy of box' will give you «box copy 1"»

  My tests, if "copy" part of the name at the end, only the numbers will be added and increase gradually.  I think that if you get something like "Box copy copy" you have added manually "copy" at the beginning of the name, which is the only way that I could reproduce what you describe. If you don't want to have to remove 'copy' twice, don't start a layer name or "Exemplary" program group. Motion is probably not check if the copy is at the beginning, at the end.

  For what is a way of not having a copy or a number added to the end, it is not a.  It is probably a requirement of how the movement initially creates duplicates of layers/groups and make sure, that it is not destroy the existing layers. This is probably the best. This is similar to the creation of the records or documents in the Finder, just moving, you can go back and rename multiple items with the same name once they are created. If you are uncomfortable with writing scripts, sounds like you are, maybe it's a good option, otherwise you will have to do some manual changes as you go.

• How do I rename the folder of bookmarks 'Unsorted Bookmarks '? or add a folder at this level?

  With the help of Windows8 Firefox EU euballot - 1.1.
  Try to rename the folder of bookmarks 'Unsorted Bookmarks'? or add a folder at this level?
  I tried the suggestions in the forum (ie. Shift ctrl B); access to the file through library; all no chance.

  When you try to add a new folder on the same level as the 'Unsorted Bookmarks' folder, the new folder appears in the folder "Unsorted Bookmarks" and not on the same level.

  Something that I missed?
  Thanks for your suggestions.

  I do not recommend this. IIRC, users have mentioned that this folder has been renamed, when they started a new "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder has been created automatically when Firefox.

• Rename the session restore backup does not work, how can I restore previous session after a crash?

  Computer crashed and Firefox don't remember my session. It happened a few weeks ago while I had looked at how to fix and I learned from my mistake and saved the sessionstore.bak file before restarting Firefox. I closed Firefox, deleted sessionstore.js and renamed .bak to js but to start what it does not always restore session. Previous restoration on the history tab still grayed out, about: sessionrestore revealed without tab. I even tried to copy this file and also naming copies as sessionstore-1 & 2. How to operate?

  You can try to restore a previous version of the file sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak. You must rename the .bak to .js file to make Firefox see this session.

• Try to rename the profile, now cannot start FF because it says it is already running

  So I wanted to rename the profile from my laptop. I went in the profile menu (on the laptop not Firefox) and finished by unchecking and rechecking the "read only"box. ". After that, Firefox would give an error saying that she could not access the security on the boot files. I searched Mozilla page and followed the instructions to rename profiles with no luck, restarts (multiple) no luck, profile deleted and built a new, no luck, deleted secmod and cert files with no luck. Uninstalled FF 8.01 installed completely and 3.6.3 (I think) and now it won't start because it says it is already running. I'm also getting a flag of Internet Eplorer telling me that another program has tried to change my search engine.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Oops, something went wrong in this post. You don't have to rename a profile on the disc folder, if that's what you did to get the error "already running."

• Rename the icon on the home screen

  Is it possible to rename an icon that you put on your home screen? For example, I wanted a Hotmail icon on my home screen, but all I get is "sign in" (or something like that) and try as I might, I can't change it as you can a normal folder (click twice slowly on the bottom until it appears he highlighted and then type the new name).

  Thank you

  IndyJ

  Depending on the browser used, it is easy to rename the shortcuts.

  In Chrome (and the stock browser), just tap and hold any bookmark, and choose "Edit Bookmark".  Change the name, and then drag it to the home page.

• Rename the Alu Stor E 2.5 drive "

  Hello world

  I just bought a Toshiba Stor E Alu 2.5 "500 GB and it showed only 465 GB capacity I stupidly did a quick format of my Dell Latitude 110 L laptop running Win XP pro.

  Since then the name of disc that I put in the properties is not recognized, and even though I have the rename, the only label that keeps returning under explore is "Toshiba USB - HDD".

  It is not a big problem because the drive is still working properly, but for a purchase up, it's pretty boring.

  Can someone explain how to fix this problem?

  Thanks in advance
