  Port VLAN authorized and active in the field of management
  In64 2.10

  VLAN port extending on transmission State and no tree pruned
  In64 2.10

  The only thing to look at will be the VLANs that you got set up on the vSwitch. You have defined VLAN native example, the VLAN untagged on the switch to be 4094, any traffic sent on the aura tags trunk VLAN, which will be removed by the vSwitch.

  In my setup, I have established groups of ports using VLANS and VLAN 2 10. Traffic to the virtual machines on these VLANs are .1Q marked by the physical switch, which is then stripped by the vSwitch.

  Take a look at the section "VLAN in VMware Infrastructure" on page 7 the concepts of virtual networking André already mentioned, but also the other interesting reading material is http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx3_vlan_wp.pdf.

  Finally, for the side of the switch of things, look at the examples on Scott Lowe's blog at http://blog.scottlowe.org/2006/12/04/esx-server-nic-teaming-and-vlan-trunking/.

• Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management

  Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management?
  I wonder for a future issue, a scenario where a system administrator must build a Win2008 + DC on local storage, server
  then, once the physical box is integrated into the class network, the physical box is connected to the classified SAN storage.
  Is it possible to hot - migrate the server Win2008 + CC local storage to SAN storage at this time, with only the
  free version of VMWare ESXi 5.1.0?

  Welcome to the community - I guess that you are looking to do this, while the virtual machine is currently running - this is not possible without a management server, also called vCenetr, but all is not lost because you would be able spend the VM local storage to the San with the VM posered using the client storage management features

• Time synchronization with host ESX to Windows start even if disabled in VMware Tools?

  Hello

  just got in trouble with a freshly installed Windows XP SP3 VM do not apply Active Directory group policies. After some research, I discovered that this happened only with VMware Tools installed.

  With VMware Tools installed, Windows events 1030 and 1097 were generated at each start (the events say that group policy processing has been abandoned and that there is a time difference between the server and the client) and group policies have been applied.

  Without VMware tools, everything was fine.

  After some additional debugging I discovered that the ESXi (4.1) server was not configured with a valid NTP server and the host time was 10 minutes behind. However, as time synchronization between the guest OS and the ESX host has been disabled in VMware tools, I couldn't imagine it was really the cause of the problem. But strangely it turned out that this was indeed the case! At every Windows startup time has been at the time of the host ESX - but only for a few seconds. This can be seen in the attached photo: initially, there are guest operating system time, and then you see the jump both ESX and then jump back to the guest operating system.

  Why does this happen? Hard, I could solve the problem in the first place by configuring the NTP server on the host, I would like to know why VMware tools change the time of the guest OS, even if it is disabled!

  Thank you

  When he put the VM must draw from somewhere and since the AI network time form more that probably not started it must draw from the host, but once the networking appears he died in the NTP source - that's why it is recommended to configure your ESXi (and ESX) to synchronize the time with NTP source.

• With the help of VMware ESX in a business continuity Plan

  I'm looking to set up a Plan for continuity of the business using Vmware ESX. I would like to install an outside site that will duplicate a few key servers. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this with ESX? Is it as simple as pushing Server snapshots to the offsite location? Any ideas...

  Thank you

  Scott

  Hello

  Welcome to the forums.

  I'm looking to set up a Plan for continuity of the business using Vmware ESX. I would like to install an outside site that will duplicate a few key servers. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this with ESX? Is it as simple as pushing Server snapshots to the offsite location? Any ideas...

  One thing to know is that a snapshot in terms of "VMware" is not a full copy of the disc, it is a file that contains the changes to the drive block since the snapshot was created. Snapshots of assistance in making backups of virtual machines running, but allowing the basic disk to copy while the data is written to the snapshot. Then, you're the snapshot.

  So how do DR/BC is having a good backup strategy using one of the available backup/replication tools.

  There are:

  Veeam Backup w/replication

  Vizioncore vRanger backup and vReplicator for replication connection

  EsXpress doctorate for backup (restorations of use for replication)

  There is also some SRM if your San is supported, etc.

  So there are a lot of options the question is how 'real time' you need the data. You could also use the replication SAN, Double Take, etc.

• Problem with connecting to Vcenter, with vSphere ESX

  Hi, I'm going to start this discussion again.

  Initially, I set up a cluster with two ESX host and configured HA. VCenter is located on a virtual server on one of the ESX hosts.

  At this point, everything has worked, tested HA several times and worked perfectly. Two days later, I HAD to reinstall the Vcenter server. That's when it all started. I added successfully to the cluster hosts configured HA. and I tried to test HA. Restart the ESX host, vms where migrated and strted upward on the other server, BUT the server has been restarted never maid she return to Vcenter. I could connect to it via customer, but not hollow vSphere Vcenter. After much work, I tried to disable HA and reconnect the ESX. This finnaly worked. A configured HA once again on two ESX, worked. After another reboot, it's the same thing. I have tried to restart all services, seems to me that something is wrong with the HA agent. Is this a re-install of ESX servers using?

  did you check the log files within the/var/log/vmware/aam and/var/log/vmware/vpx?

• Cloning of Windows Server 2008 R2 / SID options with VMWare

  Hi all

  I'm trying to deploy virtual machines to a basic model of Windows 2008 R2 Standard (64-bit) and I was wondering what is the best way to give my unique msn cloned VMS?

  Basically, I see that NewSID does not work on R2. I tried to run sysprep - & gt; Generalize about the clones of R2 (area experience off), but after restarting the virtual machine must be re-activated (enter the product key and activate again). In addition, VMWare tools no longer - I found that I have to uninstall and reinstall to get it working again, so the console mouse sensitivity goes down the drain. My screen resolution is also indented by default in the virtual machine and anything on the desktop is erased.

  Running sysprep like this just doesn't seem to be an option, because there is too much of what needs to be sorted again once the clone is done. I might as well be reinstalling the OS on a fresh virtual machine. Is that all I'm missing with sysprep? Sort of leave him alone he put the SID and nothing else?

  It would also be interesting to know what the guys who run Windows 2008 R2 64-bit with VMWare use (VI / ESX 3.5) when it comes to cloning or to deploy multiple virtual machines from a template.

  For example, I just want to be able to clone my base model and get a new SID on each clone that I do. So I want to have another model that has a few additional features or roles installed in Windows and be able to clone from that too. For example, a model of Terminal Server.

  See you soon!

  However, I doubt management will believe that article directly at the exit (even if its written by Mark himself)-this process of newSID'ing is as far as I can see in their heads. May take a while to convince them otherwise.

  If this information on the website of Russinovich doesn't convince them of the contrary, it will be interesting.

  As far as I can tell from this article, as long as I clone models VM that are already part of a domain, I should be fine. In other words if I have a model pre-configured, but are not part of a domain (that is always in a working group) I should be fine if I had to clone 10 of them and put them all on the same network right? From there, I could then take one of these 10 clones, convert to a domain controller, and then take the remaining 9 and add them to this new domain members and all servers should be good - no conflicts or funny happens things of the AD?

  Yes, let the models out of the area and let the sysprep/customization to join them upward when it is deployed.  As long you run sysprep, or through customization, or manually, there should be no problem in AD.

  I guess I always look for an alternative to newsid just to adapt to this as 'political', said at this stage. How you guys don't deploy R2 2008, VMs of clones?

  None of my clients went to U1 or U5 at the moment, there is no R2 2008 deployment in place.  I'm guessing that a manual running sysprep deployed virtual machine might be the best thing to do at this point.

• Getting started with VMware ESXi

  Please forgive me, because I'm just getting started with virtualization in the data center (ESX and ESXi). I been using virtualization desktop and server (player and GSX Server and Workstation) for several years now and I'd like to see if ESXi would be a good choice for an amateur system in order to use a training platform.

  Are my limited infrastructure management tools, or are there third-party or community free equivalents that will make the most much (not necessarily all) Infrastructure functions for me getting started with ESXi? I can't afford the cost of a license of Infrastructure to learn just the platform and also have a few questions regarding the ESXi environment.

  ESXi abstract everything, or I can pass through some devices (for example, a map of Zaptel for VoIP Asterisk) to a guest operating system? That would be my only reason for the use of a Linux host and stick with VMware Server instead of going completely virtual.

  Any assistance to the start-up, as well as good resources for someone new data center virtualization (no virtualization in general) would be very appreciated. I tried to read some briefs VMware tech directly, and a part of the documentation can be downright confusing.

  Thanks in advance, and I look forward to the next meeting.

  ESX are equipped with a fully functioing 60 days trial license - ESXi when correctly entered, you will receive an unexpiring licenses to run ESXi - discover https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/?p=esxi

  I do like install and save hard disk laptop, so that to restore later inside the vmware. If it works?
  I wonder if someone can tell me how to use my legal version of Windows XP on VmWare player?

  Thank you in advance,

  Hello

  I doubt that it works with VmWare.
  Why?
  Because the restore CD contains the ghost image files and you will need to boot from the recovery CD for installation.

• 2808 LAG for use with VMware ESXi and Linux collage

  I posted the month last about setting up my work with groups LAG http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-switches/f/866/t/19537080.aspx servers (I'll effectively implementing implement this Saturday)

  I decided to buy a 2808 for my ESXi server get more aggregated connections to my staff iSCSI Linux server but now I'm worried I might have made a mistake to buy the 2808.

  After looking in the manual before I realized I could have been mistakenly assuming that the 2808 had STP and LACP, as I can't find LACP anywhere in the PDF file. I guess that the configuration of my Linux machine for 802.3ad is out (a hope to make mode 4), so now for the configuration of my house, I wonder (* 1 *) that I have to configure my VMware NIC team like and what mode of binding should I use on my Linux host? As for the section at the top (my working configuration) (* 2 *) I don't know what to do about the road other than the leave as 'route based on originating virtual port ID "? (This is how our other data centers are configured, but I'm waiting for my admin network as agglomerates ESXi hosts are configured with the channels of port on our cisco switches)

  For the House, I want to try to increase the bandwidth by using three NICs in each server, I was hoping that it works:
  VMware: Route of IP hash function?
  w/Linux: balance-alb?

  -VMware:
  Before you begin:

  • The default load balancing strategy is route based on the port virtual origin ID. If the physical switch uses the aggregation of links, route based on the IP hash load balancing should be used. For more information, see host requirements for the aggregation of links for ESX and ESXi (1001938) and the guide of VMware Virtual Networking Concepts .
  • LACP support was introduced in vSphere 5.1 on distributed vSwitches and requires additional configuration. For more information, see activation or deactivation of LACP on a group of ports Uplink using the vSphere Client Web (2034277).
  • Ensure that the Protocol of aggregation VLAN and link (if any) are correctly configured on the physical switch ports.

  -Linux:
  * Descriptions of bonding modes *.
  + Mode 0 balance-rr: Round-robin policy: transmit packets in the sequential order of the first available through the last high school. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

  + 1 active-backup mode: Active-backup policy: only one slave in the link is active. A different slave becomes active if and only if, the active slave fails. MAC address of the binding is visible from the outside on a single port (NIC) to avoid confusion between the switch. This mode provides fault tolerance. The first option affects the behavior of this mode.

  + 2 balance-xor mode: XOR policy: transmit based [(adresse MAC XOR avec destination MAC traiterait de source) modulo County slave]. This selects the slave even for each destination MAC address. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

  + 3 broadcast mode: broadcasting policy: transmits everything on all slave interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance.

  + Mode 4 802.3ad: IEEE 802.3ad dynamic aggregation of links. Creates aggregation groups who share the same speed and duplex settings. Use all the slaves in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad specification.

  -Prerequisite:
  -1.Ethtool support in the base drivers to retrieve the speed and duplex of each slave.
  -Switch 2.A which takes care of IEEE 802.3ad dynamic aggregation of links. Most of the switches will require some type of configuration to activate 802.3ad mode.

  + Mode 5 balance-tlb: Adaptive load balancing transmission: Channel link that doesn't require any special switch support. Outgoing traffic is distributed according to the intensity of the current (relative speed) on each slave. Inbound traffic is received by the current slave. If the receiving slave fails, another slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave.

  -Prerequisite:
  -1.Ethtool support in the base drivers to retrieve the speed of each slave.

  + 6 balance-alb mode: Adaptive load balancing: includes balance-tlb plus receive balancing (rlb) for IPV4 traffic and doesn't require any special switch support. Receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation. Link driver intercepts the ARP replies sent by the local system on their way and replaces the hardware address of source with the unique hardware address of one of the slaves in the bond as different counterparts use different physical addresses for the server.

  The topic dell nearest you, I have found a useful was: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/networking/f/4454/t/19415629.aspx

  my previous post was more concerned with VLAN tagging and spanning tree issues, but now I see I should have feared groups LAG it as well.

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance all :)

  -

  PS. http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/dell-powerconnect-2800-series-spec_sheet.pdf said that the 2800 series supports LACP, so if I'm worried about anything on my iSCSI side slap me please in the face, but I guess even in this case, I'm still not sure how to configure the ESXi host because it does not support LACP without vSphere and my original configuration is a free version , so I have no web vSphere management needed to make the LACP allow the change.

  Not sure if it is of no use: example configuration of EtherChannel / switches control protocol LACP (Link Aggregation) with ESXi/ESX and Cisco/HP (1004048), but that's where I was to base the choice on IP hash from.

  It must have the support of layer 3 to achieve IP hash, IP addressing is a 3-layer technology, so a 6200 series or higher or the soon to be released N3000 series.

  How to change the extensions on several files with Windows 7?

  You hear no doubt, is that your movie software will only recognize certain types of image file formats.  If this is the case, you will need to reformat format files to any format PNG is recognizable by the software.

  Rather than we guess, please identify your «film» software

  Download and install IrfanView, which is a free utility for images.  http://www.IrfanView.com/

  IrfanView has the ability to read a great many formats of image files.  It can also convert image files formats.  And even better - for you - it can do all these things on a batch of files.

  As test, after I installed IrfanView, open one of your PNG files.  Now click on file > save as, and select the 'Save as Type' to be little matter the file type of your movie software will accept.  Save the file.  Make sure your movie software can accept the new file.

  Once you are convinced that you can modify files that you have in a format that you can use, use IrfanView
