• Ill at 5.5 VLAN switch distributed

  Begging for a little help. It's my first knife to set up a VLAN on an ESXi 5.5 Distributed Switch. I'm used to the physical switches... Dell & Cisco...

  Installation program:

  Firewall

  > > WAN1 [5 x static IP] > > WAN to the firewall

  > > WAN2 [1 x, DHCP] > > WAN to the firewall

  > > LAN1 "VMnet" 10.x.1.x/24 > > Firewall > Port1 on Dell PowerConnect 2748 (switch is not compatible trunking)

  > > LAN2 "WiFi" 10.x.2.x/24 [adapter Wireless Firewall]

  > > VLAN1 Switch1 Port1 'tag 'ESXiNet' [VMkernel + vMotion] 10.x.3.x/24' > > Switch1, Port 14 "Untagged."

  > > Port 14 on Switch1 attends Port2 on Switch3 [Dell PowerConnect 2716]

  > > Port 2 on Switch3 is 'tag', 3-16 Ports are not all "marked" and all go direct to VMkernel NIC card pairs for redundancy.

  > > VLAN2 "OfficeNET' 10.x.4.x/24 Switch1 Port1 to Switch1 LAG1 [Ports Switch1 15 & 16] > > Switch2 Ports 1 and 2 as"Gal1"[Dell PowerConnect 2724]

  > > VLAN3 'AdminNet' 10.x.5.x/24 Switch1 Port1 to Switch1 Ports 40-48

  Problem is that I have a VLAN that comes out of my Dell PowerConnect 2748 switch and enter an ESXi host. VLAN is #99. If I connect a laptop directly into the switch I get an IP DHCP correctly of the switch address on this VLAN. If I plug this LAG (or individual port if I break upwards the LAG) in my ESXi hosts can't pass the VIRTUAL local area network via the distributed switch.

  You are looking for assistance. Hope that the above explanation makes sense. Just trying to get one VLAN through a switch distributed to a virtual machine.

  Sorry for the bug to the community with this configuration. It seems that it was my fault... or my mistake. I got it setup properly from the start... For all those who in the future that concludes this thread...

  Firewall VLAN # 100 > Switch Port 01 (tag) > Group GAL 1 [15 & 16 switch ports] (unidentified) > ESXi host LAG (default configuration for VLAN Trunking 0 - 4094) > Distributed port group nec VLAN #100.

  The problem is that I have restart the physical switch and Firewall [Physics] but not the host ESXi, DS or virtual machines. Because the VMs system had been on before configuration changes their network cards were shooting a null IP and without release and renew their, they have been stuck without the IP DHCP VLAN address. I didn't enter the VMs (2012r2 server operating system) system and disable the network adapters and then enable them. They then shot the IP address of the subnet assigned to the VLAN.

  Stupid mistake but at least it is resolved.

• migrate VM switch distributed to a standard switch

  Hello

  I need to migrate a virtual machine that is hosted on a cluster with switch distributed to another cluster with standard switches.

  This migration is possible when the virtual machine is turned off.

  By default, migrate function I get the following error message.

  Is there another solution?

  (without removing the network adapters)

  Thank you, Sven

  You can check that the host of the virtual machine's network configuration is running. He is a relevant portgroup created on the vSwitch Standard VM.

• on switch distributed

  Hello

  If I have two clusters in a data center, do I switch distributed two (one for each) or a distributed switch is sufficient for both.

  Thank you.

  Yes, because the new vDS will connect to the physical network adapters on the remaining hosts.  The uplinks are not switch uplinks, but physical ESX host NIC.

• Switches distributed vsphere

  I spent my vSphere book 5 Mastering (great book, btw) and was reading dvswitches, I decided to implement in my lab at home. Here's what looked like my Standard vSwitch topology

  vSwitch0 - 2 network cards physical (uplink) attached

  Network management (vlan 2)-VMKernal (192.168.2.20)

  Prod (servers) - Vlan 4 port group

  The Group Test (server) port vlan 3

  vSwitch1 - 1 uplink attached

  NAS (iSCSI) port (iscsi software) - Group 3 (192.168.3.16) VMKernal VLAN

  Everything worked very well to vSwitch0, I migrated everything on without any problem...

  
  My problems came with vSwitch1... when I tried to migrate the VMKernal, he told me iSCSi being bound to the adapter, I had to go in the inventory - network management and do it this way... When I tried to go there, I received messages that he won't move a physical cards and if I want, I'll do it connectivity.

  I just couldn't find a way to properly migrate this vSwitch with iscsi on... Since this is my test lab, it is not a big deal... I made an attempt to do that almost killed my host... I had to go to the DCUI and reset my network to retrieve my host.

  Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do it correctly?

  In addition, there are drawbacks to the use of dvswitches? I usually run my vCenter as a virtual machine... so I don't know if there are advantages or disadvantages to the use of dvswitches

  Thank you

  Mike

  Try this:

  Put your host in maintenance mode and untie the vmk of iSCSI Software adapter.

  The host-> Configuration-> storage-> properties adapters-> Network Configuration and delete the vmk from the port binding.

  Create a new portgroup on you, vDS, then change the parameters of it.  Teaming and failover doesn't make sure the link you want to use for iSCSI is Active - move all other uplinks to is not used.

  The vmk of migration to the new portgroup.

  Go back to the properties of the host adapter-> Configuration-> adapters-> properties-> Configuration iSCSI network storage and the vmk is expected to be available to link to the map of iSCSI software.

  Rescan storage.

  If you have several vmk that you use for iSCSI Software, you will need to repeat the process.  Each vmk will be on a portgroup separated on the vDS and each portgroup must be linked to a separate connection.  Similar to how you must bind each vmk to a physical network adapter on a standard switch if you use for iSCSI.

  I hope this helps.

• Virtual switch distributed on ESXi integrated Client Host

  Any plans to support vDS on the embedded host customer?

  If the distributed virtual switches are supported, I can't find how to set up their own good that I was able to configure virtual Standard switches.

  I haven't used client embedded myself yet, but in order to create or configure the vDS, you need to vCenter server you manage using vSphere Client/vSphere Web Client. vSS are by the host-based virtual switches that can be created and managed at the host level, so you can create those who use client Embedded or stand-alone vSphere client.

• Lost of acceso del cluster Datastore iSCSI cuando uno los back switches caer al vSphere

  Hola,

  Estoy serve a vSphere en alta availability, conectado al por iSCSI storage environment. Detallo el entorno:

  An experience past 1 G an iSCSI, cada uno conectado a uno los con servidores Proliant DL360 Gen9 red back of back ports. Con el por iSCSI initiator software from VMware.

  Storage formed por back nodos HP 4330 en cluster, cada con UN nodo StoreVitual-dependent back red puertos y cada puerto a one of the switches

  The config as he hecho Los nodos vSphere ha sido a vSwitch, con VMKernel back in the same red y las back vmnic, each of ellas activa en UN vmkernel y unnused in el otro, las following past of vmware. The balanceo politica're RR.

  TODO works correctamente, except in el momento in el as el switch Procurve 1 cae. Cuando esto happens to pierde el acceso a los data warehouses in los nodos ESX, voy al vCenter until back y en the config-> storage, the doy pestana a Rescan All, momento in el than vuelven a appear.

  ¿alguien could help me a saber porque esto happens y como lo puedo did?

• Switches distributed without uplinks

  In ESXi, you can create a vSwitch and not bind a plink to the vSwitch.  This allows for connectivity for virtual machines connected to this switch.

  There is a similar option for vSphere?  We love named latter distributed switches but not having does not add an uplink.

  This will allow communication between the virtual machine, but does not affect the physical network.

  Any suggestions?

  Saludos,

  Orlando

  Hello!

  You have a distributed without uplink switch, but if you plan to use in the set of boxes, it will not work. Distributed switch requires the uplinks to communicate between ESX' are.

• UCS Fiber Channel FI for San switch wiring & config

  My question is about the correct wiring & vSAN configuration by the UCS FI switch San (Cisco MDS).

  Currently my wiring is as follows:

  Fi1 port 25 - SW1 port 3

  Fi1 port 26 - SW2 port 3

  Fi2 port 25 - SW1 port 4

  Fi2 port 26 - SW2 4 port

  On the side of the switch San, our guys of storage configured vlan10 SW1 and SW2 as vlan20. For this reason, I was not able to have a vSAN by FI, I read is recommended, because the VLAN switch cross FIs. Now, when I created vHBAs I have 4 vHBAs per server, 2 by IFS by vlan if I want redundancy with a switch or a loss of FI.

  Question: Is this the correct configuration on the side of the SAN switch? Do I actually create 4 vHBAs per server? I do not have my incorrect wiring & I should just be linking FI1 to SW1 on two ports & FI2 to SW2?

  Help or advice would be appreciated!

  ~ Tara

  Hi Tara,

  There are two ways of wiring of your SAN infrastructure.  It boils down to a design decision. Traditionally the SAN admins prefer to keep their separate/isolated tissue.  In this design THAT MDS-1 only connect to FI - A and MDS-2 would connect only to the FI - B.

  Another option is to connect each MDS at each END.  This gives each FI SAN fabric access and allows to create double VSANS (that exists on each FI) rather than separate them.

  You don't need four vHBAs by UCS Server - some adapters support no more than two in any case.   What you do is create two vHBA by the Service profile, each host will have access both to VSAN 10 and 20.  What you can do is to shift your tissue of vHBA while 1/2 access your Service VSAN 10 via FI - profiles and the other half access VSAN 10 FI - B.  This will help to distribute the load accordingly.

  E.g.

  First 1/2 of SPs

  vHBA0 - VSAN10 - fabric-A

  vHBA1 - VSAN20 - fabric-B

  1/2 second of SPs

  vHBA0 - VSAN20 - fabric-A

  vHBA1 - VSAN10 - fabric-B

  As you can see a bit of a manual balancing can act.  The best scenario would be to isolate (re-cable) to your network SAN fabrics according to the traditional SAN design above.

  Kind regards

• Configuration of VLAN Switch Distributed

  Hello

  This a configuration problem and I'm not really sure how to set it up.

  I created a distributed switch, and ESXi1 and ESXi2 are members. I created a comeback portgroup named A_01 and is a member of the VLAN 101.

  I created a virtual XP1 machine in ESXi1 located in A_01 and I created a VM XP2 on ESXi2 located in A_01.

  They do not communicate.

  I have a switch between them and the uplink for the distributed switch of ESXi1 is connected to port1 and ESXi2 uplink is connected to port2

  I have 'tag' port1 and port2 in vlan 101.

  They do not communicate.

  I have both change the network of the VM XP1 and XP2 VM a portgroup with no VLAN they communicate.

  What I am doing wrong.

  Thank you!

  "I have both change the XP1 XP2 VM VM network in a portgroup with no VLAN they communicate."

  --> its because your physical switch is configured as port access . Marking is done at the level of the physical switch. This is the expected behavior.

  If you want to tag the VLAN level vSwitch, then you must put the physical switch as a trunk port and VLAN 101.

• General replacement of current switches and Config

  We are trying to replace our current switches for iSCSI/vMotion.  The config of origin of how things are arranged and connected is pretty bad, and I wanted to fix that.

  I would like the summer completely isolated of the iSCSI/vMotion network switches (accept for a link from management).  With ports in the vSwitches used for connections in the VM and the hospitality management LAN be plugged directly into our network.

  I have separate iSCSI and vMotion by vLAN, not labeled on the vSwitches themselves.  So I have the switch set as access ports, ports the vLAN correct assigned to the port.  This seems to be a fairly simple installation for me and should work fine.  I am attaching a schema to help visualize what I'm doing.  The old schema is currently how things are configured. I would like to eliminate the trunks from switches to iSCSI to the rest of the network and with the new switches simply connect between them.

  Please let me know if anyone sees problems with this, because it's my first foray in this setting of all this, and it's different from the way it is currently, so want to make sure that it is a good idea.

  Thanks in advance

  For some reason any switches our vMotion/iSCSI run on currently each back to shared resources on the main network for some reason any... I could only imagine it there to telnet to the switch functionality, but remove those which should be good?  Thank you!

  -Jake

  No problem at all.

  I loved being able to get the management interfaces as easy as possible even if - it helps troubleshooting. Note that you can do, without actually trunking any VMware used VLAN to the bottom of the trunk.

• bottleneck in the autonomous base config vsphere 5.0 network?

  Hi all

  I've been running vsphere 5.0 on a single host.

  We do not have all of the "addons".

  I noticed when I did a backup (first time), on our file server,

  I don't see vmnic2 pull upwards, and the virtual server was very slow copy files while a backup exists.

  None of the other NICs had any network activity.

  There isn't any traffic AGAIN on any other virtual servers.

  is that what I can do to aliviate this?

  I will be having soon added intensive virtual server from ad network

  and from what I see, if both are back up at the same time.

  nothing will work, because everything will pass by one of the network adapters.

  can we establish switches separated for each of the VS 'intensive network '?

  so they have a dedicated network adapter?

  What kind of performance do you have when you do your backups? It could be that the CPU of the virtual machine is overloaded leading to slow file copying.

  However, if you see that the NIC is overloaded you could make some adjustments with this, such as the creation of a second vNIC to the virtual machine, with a clean backup network / IP subnet, who put on a portgroup separated and manipulate the vmnic active / standby for each portgroup. It's pretty easy, but still some configurations.

• Binding problem rising switch distributed - vim.dvs.DistributedVirtualPort is not available

  Hi all

  I am trying to add a physical link to a distributed switch rising.

  The story unfolded as shown below:

  -default ESX 4 generation created with virtual switch 'standard' with Teddy 0 uplink port & console running through this switch

  -new distributed switch created with groups of separate ports for console, VMkernel and VM traffic

  -Teddy switch 1 assigned as an uplink for distributed

  -new console and VMkernel ports created successfully on the distributed switch

  -console legacy & VMkernel ports correctly migrate from 'standard' virtual switch with for the distributed switch

  -removed 'redundant' console & VMkernel ports to the distributed switch, so there is only one of each kind on the left

  -' standard' virtual switch was successfully deleted

  -When you try to add Teddy 0 (which is displayed as unclaimed) as the second uplink to the distributed switch following error occurs:

  The resource vim.dvs.DistributedVirtualPort is not available in vim. DistributedVirtualSwitch dvSwitch

  Tips / advice / suggestions?

  Kind regards

  Radek

  You can update the number of dvUplinks in the properties of the dvSwitch in stock-> Networking.  Select the switch (icon with the + / according to him, not the object of the child).  It'll be here in the General settings.  You can also change the names of of the uplinks from here.

• Configuration of virtual switch distributed to a display environment

  Are there specific practices around implementation of control network IO for a display environment. It is always better to separate the service console and keep on a standard virtual switch?

  I think that now its all what you're most comftorable with.  How many cards you like who could dictate how you would be put in place?
