Two groups of ports with same VLAN on the same Vswitch?

I'm doing a consolidation.  We had two different people put up two closed different of Vsphere and different network labels were used.   Of course the network labels must exactly match vmotion without losing connectivity.    So I was hoping that I could just create groups in double port on my vswitch for VLAN do not match them.  I know I could just migrate them and move quickly from the network label, but some of them are essential and may not fall.

For example, on a cluster, I might have a port for Vlan ID 88 group that says 'Web DMZ'.  But the other cluster has "WWW" VLan ID 88.    Can I just create a second group of ports on the first group which also used Vlan ID 88 with the name 'WWW' and I started?    Which will cause problems with switching (loops, etc.)?

Hope it makes sense.  Guess the short answer is can I I have two groups of different ports on a vswitch using the same VLAN ID tag without causing problems?

Creation of several groups of ports with the same VLAN ID should not cause any problem. This is only marking/close the traffic to and from the virtual machine, is nothing like that of loops,... to be afraid of.

  • Several groups of ports with the same VLanID

    Ask a question on peoples experience or knowledge, because we had a little chat here at work. If you have several groups with the same VLanID virtual port in the same cluster, does or that will cause a problem?

    Tom - we do that regularly.

    We have large quantities of VLAN - and often will be have 2 VMs hosted on the same Vlan environments for the purposes of the Dev - but when we move to production, we want to be able to isolate the dependent VMs to the configured network - with the same Vlan in use. . with a name different from the ways that we can quickly determine which is which.

  • Grouping and backreferences with regular expressions on the window to replace the text

    I'm really appreciate the inclusion of regular Expressions in the search and replace functionality. One thing miss me that East of backreferences in the replacement expression. For example, in unix tools vi or sed, I could do something like this:
     s/\(firstPart\) \(secondPart\) \(oldThirdPart\)/\2 \1 newThirdPart/g 
    that allow me to switch the places of first and secondPart and substitute totally thirdPart. If grouping and backreferences are already present in the window replace text, how do you properly call them?

  • Number of groups of ports and VLANs by vSwitch

    Hi all

    I'm looking for any insight or best practices in what concerns the number of VLANs that are ongoing to shared resources on a vSwitch.  Our ESX servers, there are 6 physical network adapters associated with (using the property intellectual hash).  These cards are the uplinks to the vSwitch which provides the virtual machine networks.   We use VLAN Tagging (VST) and created groups of ports for each Vlan ID.  Until now, we have about 7 groups of ports for 7 different VLAN.     I know the max is 512, but are there aspects to add several groups / VLAN port that I'm missing?  (We use vSphere 4.1)

    Thank you...

    Groups of ports by vCenter limit is 5000, but you do not sound as it reaches.

    Really, for the number, you have (7) you are a pretty small network as much as standard implementations are going, and you'll be fine.

    I don't think it is interesting to look at if you really expect to be using all six ports - it is rare for aggregation in order to get increases in actual performance beyond two, and often 'more' is not better.

    LACP changes things a bit, but it does not apply to many environments.

  • HELP: What router supports VLAN? -I wish both groups cannot communicate with each other.

    I have 5 wireless devices must connect to the router.

    I want to divide it into 2 groups:

    That is to say, 1, device A, B, C, group 2, device D, E.

    I would like two groups cannot communicate with each other.

    I've heard, it can be done by VLAN, is e2500 can adapt to what I need?

    What about EA3500 and EA4500?

    I use G wireless, is what it means that ea4500 is out of choice even if it supports VLAN?

  • Change the VLAN ID on a group of ports on a vSS

    We are changing the subnet that our vCenter VM resides on that will translate into change us vCenters IP address, subnet mask and gateway.

    He also goes to say that we must change the VLAN ID on the port group.

    My question is, can we change the Port Group VLAN ID first or first change vCenters details?. (So it is in VST Mode physical ports on the switch are trunk ports with say VLAN 100 and 200 with the new 300 of VLAN to add)

    Very welcome any suggetions. :-)

    Use the vSphere client to connect to the host that is running the VM vCenter.

    In this session of vSphere client, you can

    (a) change the VLAN switch vSS

    (b) open a console for the VM vCenter and change the IP settings it

    The vCenter VM will lose its network connection, but your session will continue to run, because you are connectly directly to a host (and no to vCenter).

    If the vCenter server is connected to an Active Directory server, then make sure to use a local administrative account or a domain administrator with cached credentials to connect.

    Furthermore, after you change the IP address of vCenter you will probably run the issue described here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1001493, but the article contains a resolution for this.

  • vShield Manager interface network & group of port / vlan

    Hello:

    I'm new to vShield and looking to use it in our environment.  I read the documentation and seeks to install the first part, the Device Manager vShield.  By reading the docs, it specifies the management interface for the vShield Manager is in its own group of port.  Why is this?  Is it okay to put this interface in a group of existing port?  Is it possible in a port with another management SMV Group (vCenter, etc.)?  Also, is it better practice to have this in a standard vs dvswitch, or isn't it important?  I was looking through posts and the other docs and so far I don't see a clear reason why it must be in its own group of port.

    So far, the only element that we will consider is vShield Endpoint, for now.  We have no plans to watch App or Edge, etc.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    The Manager can be put on any standard or distributed port group. Do not create any new groups-port. The only thing that is necessary to access vCenter/SSO and DNS, NTP server (mirror).

    There is no need to create a new. IMHO, this could be a failure in the doc.

  • Vswitch group permissions management standard port with PowerCLI

    Hi all

    I have many groups of ports on standard as well as switches distributed on ESX 5.0.

    I would like to know if there is a way to manipulate the permissions of those groups of port with PowerCLI.

    Is it possible, or you can help automate this work?

    Thank you!

    The easiest are discussions on dvSwitches.

    For example

    $user = Get-VIAccount -Name "domain\lucd"$role = Get-VIRole -Name NetworkAdmin$dvPg = Get-VDPortgroup -Name "dvPortgroup"New-VIPermission -Principal $user -Role $role -Entity $dvPg
    

    The regular exchanges require the use of the API.

    For example

    $pgName = "VM Network"$pg = Get-VirtualPortGroup -Name "VM Network" | Select -First 1$net = Get-View (Get-View $pg.VMHostId).Network | where {$_.Name -eq $pgName}    $authMgr = Get-View AuthorizationManager$perm = New-Object VMware.Vim.Permission$perm.Principal = "domain\lucd"$perm.RoleId = $role.Id$perm.Propagate = $true$perm.Group = $false$authMgr.SetEntityPermissions($net.moref,$perm)
    

    Because the Get-VirtualPortgroup cmdlet does not have direct access to the corresponding object on the network , you have to find via the ESXi network property.

  • Setting Port with PowerCLI group permissions

    Hello

    I write a script that creates a pool of resources, add a security group to her permissions and creates then 2 groups of ports on each host in the data center, defines their VLANiD and then add a security group and port group permissions. I managed to go as far as to create the Port groups I can't get to add the security group for port group permissions. I managed to make it work with the resource pool.

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to add a security group AD for port using PowerClI group permissions?

    Thank you

    The New-VIPermission cmdlet does not support newer entities, such as the network.

    This means that you will have to fall back on SetEntityPermissionsSDK method.

    $esxName = 
    $pgName = 
    $user =                   # Ex "TEST\luc"
    $role =                         # Ex "Admin"
    $group = $false
    $propagate = $false
    
    $authMgr = Get-View (Get-View ServiceInstance).Content.authorizationManager
    $perm = New-Object VMware.Vim.Permission
    $perm.Principal = $user
    $perm.roleId = ($authMgr.RoleList | where{$_.Name -eq $role}).RoleId

  • New-VM and assigning groups of ports

    Howdy,

    In my view, that there is a syntax problem.  Need some review and help please.

    Written by a NEW - VM deployment script.  The script is what prompts the end user for details custom that is needed to create the virtual machine. How to change a Script Cust in custom Script Manager to deploy the virtual model computer.  Everything goes perfectly well except assign it to the Port Group.

    According to this link: New-VM - vSphere PowerCLI cmdlets reference the parameter is - NetworkName.  In PowerGUI, I get an error.

    Here's the script:

    You are the key parameters of different parametersets mixture.

    In this case, you use the model parameterset, and in this case, you cannot use the NetworkName parameter.

    Set the NetworkName later once the virtual machine is created with the cmdlet Set-NIC

  • Rename groups of ports

    Hello

    In vCenter via web client, I added a vswitch to some host. I have added a group of ports for the new vswitch so that I have two groups of ports on each vswitch who manage some physical cards and renamed the old port 'VM Network' groups while it appears on the web with a unique name client network tab that hostname in it.

    I put the network card of virtual machines to the new port groups.

    The old "VM Network" "VM Network1" and the "VM Network2" still appear in the web client, Network tab, they have even machines in the old network, although I changed to they renamed network. So the machine appears twice, in the new one the old network. I can't get rid of the old network. When I try to migrate virtual machines from the old to the new network, the list is empty.

    vmnw.gif

    Also, when I try to clone a machine, I get a warning that the NIC of the virtual computer using a network ("the new network name") that are not accessible. It seems to me, the old network names are still in use. Is there a chance to fix this? I'm afraid to have performance problems.

    The virtual machine have Active snapshots, where shots were created so that virtual machines were still attached to the groups old port? In this case, the ports 'ghost' groups should disappear after deleting snapshots.

  • Designate the VLAN for the clones linked on a network interface

    Hi all

    I do a view pilot program using 4.6 and related clones. I have a server (small pilot) to all (vcenter, connect to the server, clients). I have configured an interface on the server as a TRUNK so I can have desktop VMs on different VLANS. How to configure view (or the desktop image base) to clients pools on the VLANs that I would like on?

    For example, computer office-pool1 I want to VLAN 10, office-pool2 I VLAN 11.

    Base Office I created, I put the VLAN 10, but the VMs system (created from the replica) begin on VLAN 11.

    You must create groups of ports for each VLAN.  Then go to your parent image, change the nic for the port group you just created and to recompose.

  • Group of port and the naming convention for vLAN

    What is the naming convention better for groups of ports on vSwitches?  This naming convention should match how we name them VLAN on the physical switches and how important is that?

    Hi VMinator,

    To answer your question, he has not agreed to 'standard' for names of portgroup.  That's all what you're comfortable with the support and what works for you and your organization.  A bit like server names; Some companies are going hardcore with the naming conventions and others their name after the characters in science fiction or world of warcraft bosses

    Forensic science more you pack in a naming of the control standard more you have (i.e. for scripts, health check, etc. see below).  Also, if the name itself answers questions on his own and allows you to save a phone call that is priceless.  For example - the guys says unix... "Uh which network to choose for my new virtual machine.  My IP is blah blah blah. "Well, with right portgroup name, this question would have answered itself... and maybe even recorded some interruptions of service in other cases by the simple fact of being clear and effective in the communication of how this virtual device should work: purely expressed through an appropriate naming convention.

    Here's another one.  My last concert, we had thousands of virtual machines that had to move data centers and when they landed, they needed to change the IPs and start using 3 vNIC (instead of 1) on each virtual machine.  Each vNIC with a different subnet mask.  All support should be conducted by a team of outsourced with minimum experience of VMware.  The only way to support something like this and be effective is PowerCLI.  With just invited the naming convention only, you can perform various tasks such as query the virtual computer and check its settings of portgroup compared to its actual IP information in the operating system, initiate a ping from .NET to the virtual machine, if there is any questions Act automatically.  Some actions that will have to be performed include, for example, change the portgroup or mask on a set of clients;  Or questioning guests and glean information network (CDP, vSwitch, portgroup of information etc.) and compare observed network vs network expected enumerated in the PG naming convention. etc etc.  The list of actions that you can take are limited only by your creativity.  The naming standards give you effective power both in manual and automatic efforts.

    Still, notice of one man, but every site I care and feeding generally ends with a PG standard similar to what I first described above in my previous post.  Don't forget my example naming convention is Basic.  There are many other attributes that you can add (i.e. in vCloud deployments, in addition to the info network, you can choose to identify various features specific to vCloud org-networks, etc.).

    TBH just most of the companies have appointed VM-network exchanges (ok not bad) or some random shortname which doesn't help troubleshooting.  They are fairly easy to fix and also change over time, if necessary.  You can easily drag and drop a set of virtual machines (although I don't personally do this way) in the new port group (via the page of networking to CTRL + SHIFT + N) or PowerCLI it (Yes!  way to go).  Of course, always the ping tests before and after the change.  There are a lot of scripts out there (or ask master lucd post in PowerCLI VMTN forums).  If this is net-news, then you are ahead of the game and will have a standard to follow, whatever it is.

    Best of luck and have fun!

  • Is there that a limit on how many NICs can be associated with a group of ports?

    So, I have a large box with two onboards and two quad ethernet cards.

    Vswitch0

    port groups

    Service console - vmnic6 vmnic5

    kmkernel - vmnic5, vmnic6

    Vswitch1

    port groups

    VMotion - vmnic4, vmnic0

    Vswitch2

    port groups

    external - vmnic2, vmnic3, vmnic8, vmnic9, vmnic1, vmnic7

    The problem we had was when we grew up the server on the net and took it out of the way now, we noticed servers you access, but not ping. So, we watched the distrabution of ip dhcp and noticed that vmnic1 and vmnic7 did not have an assigned ip address range as the others did.

    So is there a limit vnic for grouping of network cards in a port group?

    Welcoem to the Forums - according to the rate maximum config - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_config_max.pdf - number maximum fo physical NIC by vswitch are 32 - ip addresses, you're seein' are discovered by the esx on the physical port, these vmnic connect to.
