several VMNIC for vMotion

In all network designs I found the common theme seems to have a vSwitch with 2 natachasery and groups of separate ports for the service console and vMotion, both having alternate vmnic active / standby. IE: vSphere Kendrick Coleman NIC Design
Curious on if it is useful to have more than 1 active vmnic for vMotion?
After watching esxtop statistics of network, in the course of a host in maintenance, the 1 vmnic assigned to vMotion mode hit 900 MB/s.  (Port of 1 GB)
By making it active/active, he out the two max vmnic during a vMotion and accelerate the process of moving the VM?

We have natachasery to burn...

By making it active/active, he out the two max vmnic during a vMotion and accelerate the process of moving the VM?

No, the VMotion/VMKernel port - like any virtual machine group - assign to one of the active network adapters on startup. The second NETWORK card would be used only in the case of a failure of the first network adapter.

  • Cluster of VSA: can I use vmnic separated for vMotion and HA

    Update: I should have clarified. I posted this under VSA so I assumed it was clear that the issue was linked to VSA. VSA 1.0 _automatically_ creates a network of cluster and vMotion. I don't want this configuration as I have 8 vmnic, not 4. So instead of sharing the vSwitch, I hope that I can devote the vmnic.

    If I have 8 network cards, can I use my network cards and dedicate for vMotion? For example I create an another vSwitch, then devote 2 vmnic to it.

    The manual indicates that HA will use a network other than the ESXi management network. I thought HA always use the ESXi management network?

    Hi Iwan

    I found your answer on page 22

    Software requirements for ESXi in a Cluster VSA

     

    vSphere standard switch and the configuration of the port group

    Each ESXi host must only have the default vSphere standard

    switches or groups of ports that are created during the installation.

    You don't need to configure any port or additional switches

    groups.

    So, in summary, you should have at least 4 cards network

    If you have 8 NIC you can only add network cards to existing switches for additional flow/redundancy

    So changing the vSwitches/Exchange is not supported

    I would like to see what happens if you do it well

    Please allow points to useful/correct answers

  • Steps for VMotion

    Hi all

    Is it possible to do VMotion betweeen two ESX servers without virtual Center? I have the trial version of 3 VI that has hypervisor ESX and virtual center client. I want to do vmotion using VI SDK 2.

    Is it possible to perform VMotion using all this?

    Do need me a permit for this?

    Also, when I try to see the configuration of ESX server licenses, I see nothing in connection with VMotion. I enclose copy of screen of the configuration section for the ESX Server. Can someone explain please these questions?

    Both ESX servers are installed on their respective hard drives and are not started from SAN. Two ESX Server sees a SAN disk. What else do I need for VMotion? Material of both servers ESX is the same. There is no problem of cpu compatibility check.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    A simple answer: No.

    You can also install the VC server in evaluation mode. VC server is the central management body that allows you to VMotion VM. If you use the SDK to move the virtual computer, you must use the API of the VC server and not an independent ESX host.

    If you want to use these features in production (VMotion, DRS) you need to a license to company for the ESX host and a server VC license.

    Screenshot of advertising: you do not use Server VC and all the features that require the VC server are not available as VMotion.

    Requirement for VMotion: shared storage for the virtual machine, several networks (production NW for traffic, VMkernel port for VMotion traffic). VMkernel port for VMotion traffic must reside on its own physical NETWORK card with a GBit network! Also, you must labeld compatible networks.

    I hope this helps.

    Cheers, Matthias

  • I have a laptop on vista home-use. When you look in Control Panel - be uninstall, should there be several entries for SQL server, or one or none?

    I have a laptop on vista home-use.  When you look in the control panel - and then to uninstall, should there be several entries for SQL server, or one or none?  Each entry seems to have a different digital denotation, but apparently I should have only one entry maximum.

    The reason that I ask is that I have had problems in the software.  I want to uninstall everything that is not supposed to be there.

    Some lines of programs listed show information... some lines are completed.

    When you click on a line that is complete, I am allowed the usuall to uninstall, options etc.

    When you click on a line that is not complete, I'm not allowed the option uninstall.

    The Compact Edition and the full SQL Server can be installed at the same time without any problems. I saw SQL Server2005 apparently installed by a manufacturer, perhaps to support some software they have grouped in. He could have an Acer.

    I do not know what cause the problem with the uninstall option is not available. Information to fill in these fields are in the registry.

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall if you want to watch.

    It could be the result of a broken uninstall or a bad registry cleaner. I'm not aware of anything that would fix this. You can try this http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall

    but you may have to reinstall programs later.

    You need two redistributable Visual C++ if you have programs that need it, which is likely. They had several updates that fits into the list programs. I have two for 2005 and six for 2008.

  • OptionsProvider: Options screen displays several entries for app

    Hello

    I have 2 classes in my application (say hand and ConfigProvider). The ConfigProvider implements the OptionsProvider. Start the application, the instantiatesthe ConfigProvider hand. The ConfigProvider registers with the OptionsManager.

    When I run the application several times, I see several entries for my application screen blackberry options! The strange thing is that the number of entries that added to the screen options is not proportional to the number of times that I run the application. The behavior is very random. Sometimes I just get 2 entries and then left to 2, however when I run the application.

    The documentation for the register call, I know it will only work for once.

    If someone has come across something like this before? Can anyone help me regarding this?

    Kind regards

    TEJ

    But after a device is reset, your provider instance Options will have been deleted, not in any case this is the desired behavior.  Resetting the device deletes RuntimeStore.

  • Mulitple-NIC vs. CASL for VMotion

    Hello

    TNX for reading

    I use Vsphere 6

    My Switch have Nexus (2Port 10Gbs for Vmotion)! and I don't know which one is better!

    Mulitple-NIC or CASL (LAG and Active Mode) for VMotion?

    and another Q is for an optimal speed to migrate Vmition. better MTU (Jumbo frames).

    tnxxxxxxxxxxxx

    It's actually the answer to your question "Mulitple-NIC or CASL (LAG and Active Mode) for VMotion?", i.e. to use Multi-NIC vMotion rather than LACP.

  • When I send several documents for signature, how can we separate these documents again once I got the signature?

    When I send several documents for signature, how can we separate these documents again once I got the signature for each of them. Its way easier if I send all together, because the signatory needs to sign once and then just click on the other signature fields, but if I separate documents, how I divide again?

    Hello Anna,

    If you have a professional account, there is a feature that you can enable to recover separate documents. You can go to the account-> account setting-> general framework 'Keep the separate documents' and select Save.

  • The vlan vmotion should join him vlan management for vmotion work?

    Host 1

    Management network is a vswitch. IP VLAN 350 172.31.250.201

    vMotion network is on an another vswitch. VLAN 500 IP 192.168.1.1

    Host 2

    Management network is a vswitch. IP VLAN 350 172.31.250.202

    vMotion network is on an another vswitch. VLAN 500 IP 192.168.1.2

    Running Cisco UCS, the vNIC for vmotion are the vlan 500 but vmotion works only when they have access to the vlan 350 the management vlan.

    Sorry for the question noob but not vmotion need access to the vlan management in order to work?

    Thank you

    No, what you're doing - vMotion running in a dedicated subnet - is actually recommended to do this. Ensure that the UCS switch ports are configured correctly, allowing the VLANS required.

  • Question about the collection of NETWORK adapters for vMotion / VM vSwitch

    Hello

    We use vSphere Enterprise Edition 5.1.

    We also create separate vSwitch for management / vMotion and VM.

    Each vSwitch receives 2 network cards connected to the different switch for redundancy.

    We would like to know is necessary to provide the collection of NETWORK adapters for these vSwitches?  Currently, only enable us NIC Teaming for VM vSwitch only.

    Thank you

    VSwitch vMotion, we have 2 assigned NIC (nic2 and nic6) with 10 VLANS.  NIC2 and nic6 are connected to 2 different physical switches.

    Should I choose

    (1) both are active

    (2) both are assets + grouping of NETWORK cards?

    Question - if there is only 1 VLAN, it seems that NIC Teaming is also not very useful unless we use 2 VLAN (Multi-NIC vMotion).  Is this right?

    If you use Multi-NIC vMotion, there is no need to have two different VLANS, all you need is depending on configuration

    on your vMotion switch, please create two vmkernel port for vMotion with the same VLAN ID, but the grouping of NETWORK cards as below

    vMotion_1 - VLAN ID: 10

    Grouping of NETWORK cards

    vmnic2 - active

    vmnic6 - watch

    vMotion_2 - VLAN ID: 10

    vmnic6 - active

    vmnic2 - watch

  • Configuration of VLAN for vMotion (ESXi 5.1 update 3)

    Hello

    We use a cluster of ESXi 5.1 updated 3 guests with Enterprise Edition.

    Finally, our network is being upgraded and VLAN will be created for vMotion.  Currently, we use the local network for the management and vMotion (I know that's not good).

    Network administrator asks me to provide information concerning the requirement of the VLAN for vMotion.

    Is there any Document KB I can refer to mentioning that the administrator must put in place in the physical switch and I need to change in each vSwitch for vMotion on all ESXi hosts?

    Thank you

    Belong to your network administrator if it can link your vmotion IP to the same vlan that he will provide den it's possible.

    Otherwise, you will have to go to the configuration of your network administrator. so it can provide you the IP for the ports of vmotion.

  • Minimum required permissions for vMotion

    Hi guys

    Environment: Vmware 5.5

    I need to set permissions to a user for quick vMotioning of VMs (a cluster 8 hosts).

    I found the minimum permissions for Storage vMotion, but not for vMotion specifically that I need

    any idea which must be check in the role of letting this user vMotion VMs?

    Thank you very much

    AFAIK, you must activate

    Query vMotion

    Migrate powered off the power of the virtual machine (formerly move)

    Migrate powered on virtual machine

    Resources thr. This should suffice for vMotion. Try these permissions and see if it meets your requirement.
