• Intel Gigabit VT Quad Port Server adapt

  Hello

  I ordered two new servers: Dell PowerEdge R710 with two dual-port broadcom nic´s.

  In addition, we have installed an Intel Gigabit VT Quad Port Server Adapter.

  During the installation of the esx4 (esx 4.0.0 system update 1), card intel is not recognized by esx...

  Even after complete installation, it shows only the 4 broadcom nic´s...

  What should I do to get this card running?

  I read something on the irq sharing problems, so I disabled all the USB Ports in the BIOS, but without success.

  I also changed the pci-express slot without success :/

  Any tips? Maybe something I forgot?

  Help, please!

  Have you installed the drivers for the card when installing ESX?

• 10G or Quad Port Nic

  I am currently working on which is better 10 G or a quad port NIC.

  We have a server ESX (VMware standard) which began life as a server test and production of six months four vm who are there path on this box. I got a small budget to spend these four virtual machines to a new box.

  Our goal right now is to move the production virtual machine to a new box and at the time of six to eight months to look and VMotion, DRS.

  We have little space on one of the units of san to cover four virtual machines and growth.

  I was looking at a Dell poweredge 2950, 2 x Quad core CPU, 32 GB of Ram, 2 x 15 k HD in Raid 1, 2 x 1 integrated nic G, I have 2 x 4 GB spare HBA for the san. And the intention to use a base of VMware license for this box. (Limitation is 3 ports PCI Express x)

  Now, this is where the issue comes in I buy a quad port nic and divide

  1 integrated network interface and Quad port nic 1 = Service Console
  2 integrated network interface and Quad port nic 2 = VM vSwitch
  NIC Quadport 3 and 4 = Vmotion (later when we improve)

  Where can I buy a dual port 10G nic (EXPX9502AFXSR) and push the VM vSwitch and Vmotion on the 10G and create virtual networks for the Vmotion at a later date.

  Thank you

  Nick

  We yesterday the same Dell PE2950 with a Quad nic and 2 HBAs - so that the config is ok, but I would have preferred 2 network adapters for the console and one for vmotion - or joining the 3 env set for virtual machines and vmotion.

  And don't forget the consolidation of the different network interface cards (intel and broadcom) is not recommended - but works by us without problems.

  If you already have 10G infrastructure, then you could get 10G network cards - but I wouldn't say not-expensive (just normal network).

• Install ESXi 5.1 costs do not see NETWORK Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP cards

  I recently did a new install of ESXi 5.1 and the server does not see my card Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP.  This NETWORK card worked perfectly fine when the server had ESi 5.0 Update 1 installed.  I check that the NETWORK card is on the list of compatibility for 5.1.  Everyone knows about this problem?

  Edit: The card on a Dell PE R510.  Onboard Broadcom network adapters work.

• ESX 4.1.0 detects no no new Quad port NIC

  I came to work today to install some other Quad Port NIC in our ESX 4.1 cluster.

  I bought Intel Gig ET2 Quads to go with the Intel Pro/1000 PT Quad already installed on host computers.

  The ET2s are not detected by ESX but I can put an another Pro/1000 PT in and which will be displayed.

  The ET2 is on the HCL for esx4.1, so it's a matter of not being able to mix and match the network interface cards? Or is there something I need to do to get it to load the drivers?

  I wanted to get the ET2s in there for the unloading of network processor. but I have enough to replace all NICs outright.  We are in a transitional phase and are in need of more ports uplink for a few months but the ET2 seems to be a better card.

  There is a good chance that you may need to add drivers. http://www.VMware.com/download/vsphere/drivers_tools.html

• Quad Port NIC

  It is advisable to put the LAN CONNECTIONS and a DMZ LINK on the same quad port NIC?

  I want to be able to use one of the ports on the NIC Quad for my Web DMZ VMs.

  Of course, this is no problem.

  If you bring a direct of DMZ in vsphere you will find vshield a product useful to try.

• Intel Quad Port Adapter AND

  How the 4 ports on an Intel Gigabit AND Quad Port adapter do not appear on ESXi?

  They appear as individual Ethernet Nics or if they present another way.

  I want to add 4 ports on my machine of ESXi.

  I discovered that I can not use LACP entirely in ESXi so my only other option is to direct connection my NAS units through their own nic on ESXi.

  So in summary, I need 4 Gigabit ports assigned to a VSwitch.  Each will be assigned to a SAR unit.  In this scenario, the AND will work as I think it does?

  FYI, I have and available PCI - X slots and only one only PCI-E 8 x, where my choice of the adapter.

  Thanks for any information you can provide.

  They will appear individually.

• Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709 quad port NETWORK card driver

  When I look at the Broadcom page for pilots for the NetXtreme II 5709 NIC, NIC is addressed isn't dual port quad-port. This driver is compatible with the version of four ports?

  In this case, I will get the latest version of the driver installed

  Not sure why you posted this in the forum of storage, but in general a quad port card is just two controllers dual port on a single physical card.   On the PCI bus, you see what appears to be four (or two on card dual port) individual network cards.  Although there are two ports on a single chip.

• 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.

• Intel Pro 100 s 10/100 PCI NIC

  Hey guys,.

  Because I don't want to make the mistake again to buy hardware that is not supported and will not work with ESXi, I want to confirm that an Intel Pro 100 s 10/100 PCI NIC will work with ESXi. If you currently use an Intel Pro 100 s, let me know! (I'm currently looking at vertical entry: ) http://www.thisoldstore.com/NICs.shtml )

  Thank you very much in advance,

  Did you check the HCL or in the HCL of vm - Help.com. If this isn't the case, you might want to see what is on the list and go from there rather than the other way around.

  Of way General Toshiba doesn't supports any CPU upgrade or any exchange best way to get the info on it is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider. They have access to the database of Toshiba and can check this and also send the request for Toshiba technicians.
