• How to remove ESXi host of Distributed Switch

  3 Cluster DRS - 1 x physical, 2 nested nodes in a LAB environment

  I need to downgrade a 6.0 U2 ESXi host and replace it (from ESXi nested in Physics). I am trying to remove the host from a distributed switch, but it seems that I can't do that until I remove it from the Distributed Switch. I can't remove the VMkernel group management ports that prevents me to remove the host from the Distributed Switch. Any suggestions? I guess that I need that migrate to a Standard switch first?

  I am connected to the ESXi host through vSphere Client, migrated the group management to a Standard switch ports, then I was able to clear the host of the distributed switch. I could then remove the host from the Cluster.

• iSCSI and distributed switches

  This could be a long post, but I did not ' have much time so will now start on it and Add.

  I am trying to install two vswitches distributed with ports vmkernel on each and link them to two physical cards on their own subnets connected to an iSCSI device that has two interfaces.

  I do all this in my lab ESXi nested under fusion using OpenFiler as the iSCSI device.

  I currently have two hosts, I have a cluster with vcenter server and openfiler iSCSI shared storage that works perfectly.  All comms management are on the subnet of the network management including iSCSI.

  I then created two networks more molten vmnet4 and vmnet 5, added 2 network I / f on each host and openfiler.

  Then created two dvswitches and vmkernel ports added to each and vmnic connected to iSCSI networks.

  What are hosts autodeply btw, so I then updated my host from my hosts of reference profiles and applied to the other host (I have a couple more autodeploy of hosts also although I use for practice in collaboration with autodeplay and everything works well) rebooted everything and the dvswitches are soft, pings all good work.

  Now comes the problem.  I can add these vmk/portgroup/vmnic for vmhba33 iSCSI software initiattor...  I can't enable iSCSI on the vmkernels in the vds or as it is grayed out.  When I try and add them to the adapter vmhba33 I get the message:

  The selected physical network adapter is not associated with VMkernel consistent teaming and political failver. VMkernel NIC must have exactly a link active and no rising shall be eligible to bind to the iSCSI HBA.

  so, I have attached a picture of this.  When I watch the vmkernel ports, iSCSI is greyed out.

  Basically, I'm trying this for is better acquainted with dvs and thought to deploy dvs and assign to the many guests would be the fastest way to implement an iSCSI for many guests esxi autodeployed network.

  The curious bit is that the görüş and vmkernel port adapter not listed FRO the dvs on vmnic 2 and 3 networks that are my iSCSI.  There are ports of the vmk in a portgroup with the name and the port group.

  I stuffed the properties I can find, and each button and the disturbingling, a lot of things is grayed out.

  I am stop for tonight and hope that someone can tell me first if what I'm doing is really possible and I do not do something stupid... and on the other hand, if someone can tell me the correct downwards path as I seem to have gone astray.

  Thank you

• PowerCLI 5 and distributed switches

  Hello.

  I can't find a comandlets tocreating and work with PowerCLI 5 dvSwitches.

  These commands have been removed from the current version of PowerCLI?

  Hello

  You are right. The example is on a standard switch.

  There are currently no suppost to create virtual switch distributed using the PowerCLI cmdlets
  There is a team working on them, but they are not yet out.

• install vCSA single host and manage this host of "inside".

  Hello

  This is probably a stupid question, but I have found no reference or information about it:

  is it possible to install vCSA on a single host, which will be then handled by the same vCSA?

  background: there is only a single physical server available.

  are there disadvantages with such a configuration, and if there is, which could be problematic? same starting the server cannot, because it does not find the vCSA server to validate its license?

  I know that an update manager will not be usable, as the upgrade of the host, all virtual machines must be turned off and the host is in maintenance mode. This isn't a problem, as a manual upgrade of a single server is really easy.

  Best regards

  Mayr Oskar

  I agree with Gortee about the DVS, because that would be a factor limiting.  Since it is a single host it is useless to DVS anyway (unless you need the ability to scrutinize traffic in native mode).  I use the full vCenters blown on my main data centers, but I have a bunch runs exactly as you mentioned (about 60 sites with single host + VCSA + vStandard Switch).  No problems.  Good thing is that you can define the order of auto start since you do not HA.

• Need to obtain information from a host distributed switch

  Hi all

  I want to get information distributed switch of a host.

  With the script below am able to get the name of the switch, network cards added to the dvswitch and its status.

  $report = @()
  foreach ()$sw in (Get-VirtualSwitch -distributed)) {}
  $uuid = $sw. ExtensionData.Summary.Uuid
  $sw . ExtensionData.Config.Host | %{
  $portStates = $sw. ExtensionData.FetchDVPorts ($null)
  $esx = Get-View $_. Config.Host
  $netSys = Get-vue $esx. ConfigManager.NetworkSystem
  $netSys . NetworkConfig.ProxySwitch | where {$_. Uuid -eq $uuid} | %{
  foreach ($pnicSpec in $_. Spec.Backing.PnicSpec) { }
  $row = "" | Select Host, dvSwitch, Teddy bear, PortLinkUp
  $row . Host = $esx. Name
  $row .dvSwitch = $sw. Name
  $row . PNic = $pnicSPec. PnicDevice
  $row . PortLinkUp = () $portStates | où {$_. Clé - eq $pnicSPec. UplinkPortKey}). State.RunTimeInfo.LinkUp
  $report += $row
  }
  }
  }
  }
  

  $report

  
  

  But I would like to get the information of physical switch (switch. physical name and port information of each vmnic connected to this host please help to get the same thing.)

  Note:

  CDP information are enabled.
  

  Since you have the natachasery, it would be a matter of using a script like Re: how to get the CDP in Switch Cisco values? for the information of the COP.

• Script adding a host to a distributed switch does not

  It's weird and I'm sure it's something simple.  I've created a script that configures the NTP and the syslog on a host computer.  I added on the configuration of the standard vswitch0 and part works fine.  I set the MTU, add a vMotion and port FT and that part works fine. I wanted to add on a section of code to add the host of our distributed switch.  Environment vSphere 5.5 U2, switch is a distributed switch 5.5.  For some reason, the code is not error at all but just does nothing.  However, if I paste the code into a Powershell window it works fine.  Same code, same host, same switch.  Ideas as to why it works manually by pasting the code into a window, but does not work, I use the script itself.  Here's the code that does not work in the script:

  #Adds vmnic5 and vmnic6 for the distributed switch

  Write-Host

  Write-Host «Addition of $VMHost to the switch distributed $vds...» "- ForegroundColor"green ".

  Disconnect-VIServer *-confirm: $false #earlier part of the script is directly connected to the host

  SE connect-VIServer $vcenter | Out-Null #$vcenter variable created earlier in the script

  Get-VDSwitch $vds | Add-VDSwitchVMHost-Server $vcenter - VMhost $VMhost #$vds and $VMhost variables collected earlier in the script

  $vmnic5 = get-VMHost $VMhost | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter-physics - name vmnic5

  $vmnic6 = get-VMHost $VMhost | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter-physics - name vmnic6

  Get-VDSwitch $vds | Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter - VMHostPhysicalNic $vmnic5 - confirm: $false

  Get-VDSwitch $vds | Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter - VMHostPhysicalNic $vmnic6 - confirm: $false

  Seems pretty simple, but for some reason it just doesn't work.  Any ideas?

  When you load the script into an editor (PowerShell ISE for example) and can run from there, run the cmdlets vDS?

• Consolidation and failover for the uplink on the Distributed switch port group

  Hello

  I have a problem with the implementation of a distributed switch, and I don't know I'm missing something!

  I have a few guests with 4 of each physical cards. On the host eash I configured 2 virtual switches (say A and B), with 2 physical network by vSwitch using etherchannel adapter. Everything works fine for etherchannel and route based on the hash of the IP for the latter.

  Recently, I decided to create two distributed switches and move the respective physical ports of virtual switches to this distributed switches. Once again, I want to configure etherchannel and route based on the hash of the IP. But when I open the settings for the uplink port group, aggregation and failover policies are grayed out and cannot be changed. Apparently they inherit configuration also but I don't know where!

  You must set the card NIC teaming policy on trade in reality and not on the uplink group more expected.

• Advice on how best to configure the network adapters and virtual switch in ESX host

  I'm new to VMware and am its implementation.  I got my training a few weeks ago, and now I'm configing my hosts.  I have 3 guests, each have 2 network cards.  There is a virtual switch that ESX creates when it is installed (vSwtich0).  The books said that it is advisable to delete the VM network port of virtual machine that is assigned to the value group default virtual switch and put it on another virtual switch so that you keep your management network separated from the network of the vm for performance and security.  If I do this, all my virtual machines will have to go to 1 NIC b/c I only have 2 NICs per host.  I thought that I have just to keep all my groups of ports on the default vSwitch0 and add my second NETWORK adapter so that I can take advantage of the Association of NICs for redundancy and load balancing.  However, I'm not sure on the performance and the security risks.  Do you have any ideas or advice?  I could also create two virtual switches and put my virtual machines on one which would have a NETWORK card dedicated and put my service and Kernal VM console on another virtual switch with a dedicated network card.  However, in this scenario, I have no fault tolerance or load balancing.  We are a small shop and we have about 10-15 VMs on each host.  I don't have access to b/c distributed switching we paid only for the company (not more).  Thank you.

  Hi and welcome to the forums,

  With 10-15 VMs per box and I guess that I would seriously consider adding two extra cards for each host in the production machines. You could then do something like:

  vSwitch0 - vmnic0, vmnic2, vmnic3 - Console of Service, VM LAN network

  vSwitch1 - vmnic1 - VMkernel

  That would give you redundancy and performance to access your hosts (SC) and also for all your virtual machines. The VMkernel would get a NETWORK card dedicated for vMotion and could be on a separate network. He didn't need redundancy really as if the NIC sank the only issue is that you cannot vmotion virtual machines. In this case you would just move one of the NIC workgroup through to those switches manually.

  If you only have 2 network cards, then I would say having a vSwitch with two attached network adapters and VLAN the VMkernel may be off. I want absolutely to the redundancy of having two cards together.

  Hope this helps,

  Dan

• Cannot add the host to the distributed switch

  Hello

  Updated some time a go to vSphere.  Environment has 2 hosts and I left it with standard switches.  Today, I thought I'll add a distributed switch and use the extra features etc.  I added the switch d however when I come to add a host it there are none listed?  Can someone tell me how do I migrate from standard to distributed please?

  Kind regards

  Stuart.

  First of all. Do you have an Enterprise Plus license? Distributed virtual switches not working Enterpise more licenses or if you are using the Evaluation Version.

  Secondly, you have all available vmnic? unless a computer host a vmnic unused, the hosts will display not.

  I'm not entirely clear what you're asking. Looks like you want to add a favorite to your devices, which is done simply by adding a bookmark on the device itself. This has nothing to do with the Muse or BC.
