Server 2008 Network issues: supposed routing problem

Hey,.

I'm quite new to ESXi and virtualization, but after going to a network of customers of the otherday and the discovery of a few quirks, I downloaded ESXi5 and I am experiancing the same weird questions here.

Essentially the issue I found was that I could perform nslookup against a name short end but ping or attempt to connect to a share on the short name did not work.

Ping or connect to a share on FQDN works as expected as the fact using one IP address.

I installed a new copy of ESXi5 and then treated a virtual computer running server 2008 here in the House.

Upon installation, the machine could not ping itself or any network with a name short but device could run nslookups.

New ping and connect to shares works very well on IP and domain FULL name

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere.

Dave

EDIT: I will add that I installed a copy of Server 2008 on a standard in the House and short machine work exactly as expected.


Edit 2: I looked into this more and my routing table shows 0.0.0.0 network - prefix 0 - Gateway 192.168.0.1.

This network has no switches, concentrators, simple as it is just a test home network. How can I solve this problem of routing?

It's the magic screenshot

The ping command is interpreting your hostname, 0x3c, as a hexadecimal number and deciding that you want to ping 0.0.0.60. Is not a valid remote, so ping generates an unknown error.

It is strongly recommended that a Windows Server name starts with a letter, and you have found one of the strange bugs about why.

  • Cannot get activation for Server 2008 (network attached) phone number, because the error 0x8010002E stops the process.

    I'm trying to get the phone number and the information that I need to activate an installation of Server 2008. The server is my DC and sits on a closed network cannot reach the Internet. The installation was interrupted for more than 60 days, so to request activation. I'm not allowed to modify the current installation (i.e. relocation Server 2008). I have my current PID.

    When I go through the activation process, it fails with the error 0x8010002E. It gives me all the options for offline activation. The error code is for 'Lack of Smart Card Reader'. It's my DC so he shouldn't use a smart card to log on or to make administrative functions due to possible failure with the card reader software.

    As noted by A.P. the 1.5 x that RAM is really just an arbitrary number someone at Microsoft came at a time with and then walked into best practices with no real valid reason.

    However, it could be a few things to consider:

    Leave for the managed system is the easiest way, but could lead to a greater fragmentation of your C: drive.

    If the definition of a fixed size you should really consider to approve how much space you like Windows to be able to push in the pagefile with an internal memory. Usually if the machine Windows have a decent amount of RAM and page file usage is quite low.

    If adding an another virtual hard disk to the virtual computer and put the pagefile.sys on which you have a little more complex configuration, but could achieve savings if possible to exclude that drive in your backup tool and replication VM settings (if used). You could also possible to put all the files of comments VM on a sort of thin provisioned LUNS/NFS because it consumes a lot of space, but be used very little.

  • SBS 2008 - Server 2008 site to site vpn problem.

    Hi all

    I have a box of SBS 2008 I want to add another server to the remote site (standard 2008). Currently, VPN works great on SBS and I can compose anywhere via the pptp network and join.

    I added the RRAS branch again 2008 server role. Connection to the configured application, since VPN was already running on SBS, I just added to the request and the road. Both servers have user names Eric their numbering interfaces to, when I connect branch to SBS, he just connects in seconds, get IP address and routes are added, when I check the SBS it appears as inaccessible, when try to connect manually I either get error RRAS 0 or a pop up says the modem is already in use or not properly configured.

    Grateful if someone can the advice that I've spent 2 days on this.

  • Problems to use Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit on ESX 3.5 U3

    I am having some problems with Windows Server 2008 R2.

    I was charged with the creation of 2 new Windows Server 2008 R2 servers. We have ESX 3.5 Update3. I found that in my attempts to put an address static IP in the virtual machine, the system crashes. If I leave the adapter to DHCP, it seems to work longer, but this obviously doesn't work. Just to be in the IP menu type in IP (do not hit OK or apply again) will cause the console screen lock.

    I found that since the release of ESX 3.5 U4 notes:

    x 64 versions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems require Microsoft hotfix

    x 64 versions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 without Microsoft hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950772 operating systems have a situation where the guest operating system is not responding and returns the following error:

    MONITOR of PANIC: vcpu-3: SAY vmcore/vmm/cpu/segment.c:430

    I was not able to find the error code in my ESX systems, so I can't confirm that I see the same question. I moved the virtual machine of 4 different hosts in the same cluster with the same results.

    Here are the best true - I built the virtual machine from scratch and configured 2 GB RAM, 1vCPU and 40 GB slim HDD put into service. With no OS, I cloned this config for the 2nd of 2 servers that I need to install. I traced the two VM 2008 R2 ISO we have on our Image data store. Both installed at the same time. Given their Unique IP and Machine names and joined them in the field. Once that ended, I migrated my cluster Corp Server2 to my cluster off site for DR purposes. The only change in config is the VLAN on the remote cluster.

    The two systems worked very well. As I returned to server 1 to start install application - lock. Reboot, login and lock. This is where I started to move the virtual machine to other hosts of the local cluster. I have found no point in troubleshooting, I'll just clone server 2. I deleted the name of the Server1 computer. Off of Server2, cloned it more to the local cluster. I then started without the NIC on so I could change the name of the computer, IP and add to the domain. This seemed to go well, I have been brought back online and start installing the application. Until I'm at the point of launch the installer app - lock.

    2 on the remote cluster server works smoothly. I have validated the ESX host on all host versions to make sure I was in the same field of play on both sides - check. No other Server 2008 seems to have this problem.

    I will delete and rebuild 1 server from scratch, but I don't see how I can do a clean install of ISO any different for the same hardware and best results.

    I checked the link to the fix for MS, but article reference Server 2003...

    Is there something that I am on?

    Addendum:-I find it strange that although I have 2008 R2 installed, the drop down menu to comments what OS in VM config allows only to 2008 (64-bit) for the selection nearest you. If you look at the field Server guest operating system in a nutshell, it says that NT 4.0 is installed. Is this just a problem of display text with this version, or a cause for concern? I found everything all the R2 are displayed as NT4 in the Summary tab.

    Corrections - it seems Server2 locks as well at the opening of the Server Manager window - I can see the "collection of data...» "downstairs. I had also opened the work center & gt; Properties window on top of the Server Manager window. VM has ceased.

    Addendum - I found that R2 the boot safe mode with networking to adjust the TCP/IP offload to disabled results in a locked VM when in network properties.

    2008 R2 is not on the official list of guests supported, and others have reported problems with it as well.

  • Only the Server 2008 machines, poor network performance

    The environment contains 2 x IBM x 3650 servers. The virtual machines that all have two 8 GB of RAM and 4 vCPUs allocated. ESXi 5.1 build 1065491


    The network consists of about 40 machines Windows 7 (physical) and 2 servers (ESXi VMs) who are Server 2008 Std ed (one is a SBS 2008 but they are the same "under the hood"). The network is a gigabit w / D-Link switches. It started with me investigating slow network speeds.

    I use iperf to nail down what is happening. It appears when a Win 7 machine is writing data to SMB in 2008 virtual machine, it works fine. But when the W 2008 Server VM tries to write data to SMB in the Win 7 (physical or virtual) machine, I got hurt. Difficulty is the very sporadic network speed jumps between 1 MB/s to 60 MB/s. On average, I'd be lucky to hit 20 to 30 Mbps which isn't even 50% of the gigabit network util.

    At first I thought that the problem may be with the ESXi config so I gave a whole new Windows 7 VM on the same hypervisor which houses the two 2008 VMs server and re-ran the test - when I run a test of my workstation (physical) to the VM 7 Win, it works very well (90 to 100 MB/s both ways). If - Win 7 seems to be good, but both the VM Server 2008 I've got exposed the slow download issue.

    So far, I did the following on Server 2008 VMs:

    • Replace the E1000 w / VMXNET3 NIC
    • Dissolved the 802.3ad aggregation of links to the ESXi servers
    • Make sure that energy saving is off
    • Disable Offload TCP segmentation
    • Uninstalled the AV in case the problem was some kind of antivirus real-time analysis
    • Place the virtual machine on the other x 3650 - the question of speed follows the virtual machine.

    I can't think what to try next. Any advice or ideas welcome.

    Here are the results of a test my W7 desktop for Server 2008 VM: http://pastebin.com/dGZKwxAr

    Now the same test of my W7 desktop to and a W7 VM on the same ESXi host: http://pastebin.com/fugjCvjx

    I did an upgrade on the spot of one of the virtual machines 2008 2008 R2 server and it solved the problem. I'm getting 100 + Mbps in both directions of Win 7 clients now. I think I'll do the same thing to the other server.
