VADP using NBD: network on an ESX Server port is used to transfer data?

I went through a bunch of VMware documentation (including the API guide) and can't seem to find that this documented anywhere.

I have an environment where we bringing ports 10 GbE online on a couple of ESX servers and want to make sure that traffic VADP uses this port. This will be a dedicated dish network so I guess that ESX will be smart enough to resolve the proxy host (it is with NetBackup 7.1 with VMware host access), to see which network its on and send the traffic through the appropriate interface.

If you have several defined VMkernel ports (for example, a dedicated for vMotion and the other on a VLAN separate or link dedicated 10GbE for NFS data warehouses or dedicated to the traffic of mangement), what is the logic to decide which VMkernel port to use?

I know with ESXi, it changes a little because it is no longer a service console port and when configuring a new network port you have only the types of connections for the Virtual Machine (VM group of port) or VMkernel. But when you add a VMkernel port, you can specifically select the port properties to include: vMotion, logging of fault tolerance and traffic management. I guess the question is: do any of these port properties MUST be selected in order for the traffic of the NFC to use port, or it will use all VMkernel Port... and if so, what VMkernel port (hopefully it will be smart enough to try to use one on the same subnet, if it exists). And if the properties are selected (vMotion, logging of fault tolerance or management traffic), this would specifically EXCLUDE these interfaces for traffic of NBD (NFC)?

Any help or pointers to where this is documented would be great.

Thank you.

Hard enough. Really don't know where this is documented on the VMware Web site, but could find a document that will tell you what you have already imagined: http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/nuts-and-bolts-netbackup-vmware-transport-methods-and-tcp-ports

Then... 902 TCP/UDP is required to transfer files using NFC. This port will be enabled only on the VMkernel interfaces where you have management traffic. You will need to plan your network, separate network segments in order to run your backup in the best conditions.

And, I agree with you that it should be documented somewhere and there should be some "checkbox" to select the interfaces used to transfer files.

  • Adding a new NETWORK adapter to the ESX Server

    I have an ESX 3.5 server that has two NIC onboard.  I decided that I will join the ESX Server to the SAN, so I need these two NICS for iSCSI.  I'm going to install a NETWORK card in the PCI - X slot.  Unfortunately, without GUI, I'm confused as to how it will work.  Can someone give me some advice on how to add a new NETWORK card?  I checked esxcfg and I don't know if that's what I'm trying to use.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.

  • Use an ESX Server 3.0.2 VMDK file in VMWARE Fusion?

    Is it possible to use copies of the virtual host systems, which already exist on our VMWARE ESX cluster in VMWARE Fusion software, I run on my APPLE MACBOOK PRO laptop? I use VMWARE Fusion, Version 3.0.2, and our ESX Server is on version 3.0.2.

    Thanks in adnvance

    You can convert a VM ESX in Fusion using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone product.  The only downside is that you can only convert a Windows VM.  You can download the converter on the link below.

    Hi all

    We plan to upgrade our current system. We have 1 ESX Server with Standard operating system. Adding 2 more ESX Server with Enterprise edition and upgrading of our current business. We have about 15 VM on our current ESX Server. The migration process is difficult to move the virtual machines in storage Central for use with VMotion. I intend to take the ESX 3.5 Fast track class before you start the upgrade. I am trying to plan a project planned for the time to migrate these courses.

    Any guidance would be great.

    Here is a link to the plugin - http://sourceforge.net/projects/vip-svmotion/

    The amount of time it will take to migrate the virtual machine online all depends on the size of the drive, the configuration of storage etc.

  • Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management

    Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management?
    I wonder for a future issue, a scenario where a system administrator must build a Win2008 + DC on local storage, server
    then, once the physical box is integrated into the class network, the physical box is connected to the classified SAN storage.
    Is it possible to hot - migrate the server Win2008 + CC local storage to SAN storage at this time, with only the
    free version of VMWare ESXi 5.1.0?

    Welcome to the community - I guess that you are looking to do this, while the virtual machine is currently running - this is not possible without a management server, also called vCenetr, but all is not lost because you would be able spend the VM local storage to the San with the VM posered using the client storage management features

  • ESX Server with a control VM, instead of the workstation

    Considering change of ESX Server to increase the memory available to my VM that is connected to the internet.  But I've been advised what ESX a second pc needs to combat it.  So it's no good in replacement of the workstation or player.

    Why can't a virtual machine with the guest only network use the computer controlling in ESX, playing the role of external control computer?

    If it is declared with a raw disk, it can even have full access on the host drive. You can then install vmware workstation virtual machine to edit .vmx via the user interface files, generate new hard or copy - pasting entire VM.

    And when you have need of more memory, you suspend this VM control and almost all memory is available for the computer connected to the internet virtual.

    Why not?

    ESX is a pretty primitive operating system - it can even display a beautiful picture because it has only a text console.

    Because it is so limited and restricted compared with other operating systems, it's so good to run virtual machines without GUI.

    The disadvantage of this design is that you need a second machine to display a virtual computer desk

  • Adding 2nd NIC killed ESX Server

    All,

    Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Here are the environment and then my question.

    3 - DELL R510 - Dual Core Quad - Intel systems

    The area has "2" Integrated NIC

    as well as "2" QUAD Port - PCI Intel network interface cards

    NIC 0 - integrated NETWORK card is a system where installed- and it is plugged into a standard Switch CISCO GIG, the tag VLAN 108

    NIC 1 - integrated is configured for iSCSI connectivity

    LOCATION 0 - Port Quad PCI NIC

    Port # 3 is connected to a GROUP of CIRCUITS on a CISCO SWITCH with VLAN 108, 104, 107 and 110 on it

    Port # 1 is used for the 2nd iSCSI connection

    LOCATION 1 - Port Quad PCI NIC

    # 7 port is connected to a different GROUP of CIRCUITS on a CISCO SWITCH with VLAN 108, 104, 107 and 110 on it

    All three servers are installed with ESX4 update 1

    When I go into vCenter to one of the three servers and go to the primary Switch virtual networking, if I add #3 NIC or Port #7 NIC to the virtual switch (it currently integrated NIC 0 in) the system disconnects the network and to connect to vCenter losses and the entire network. If physically I reboot the ESX Server, it is NOT on the network. I have the tag VLAN in NIC0 defined 4095 to accept all the VLANS as well. (I tried with and without the tag of VLAN 4095 - same result)

    Here are my questions:

    1 - Why is - what happens? How it should be configured?

    2. is there a way to get NIC0 to return to the network without having to re - install ESX?

    I reinstalled the boxes several times now and tried many variations of combinations of nic, and they all end up with the ESX Server disconnected from the network and does not.

    Really looking for some common sense here... Please and thank you.

    Hmmmm, shooting a little in the dark, but I think your next 2 steps are:

    (1) get the SC (vswif0) MAC and check your MAC address table switch to fly throughout of ports

    (2) on the console, use esxcfg-vswitch for uplink associated with the Group of port SC the first list, and then delete the 2nd network card.  This should get your SC direct return and leave the new map available NETWORK the vswitch, simply not group ports SC.  (And you don't have to reinstall :-).)

  • NATing between an ESX server and the Virtual Center Server.

    We strive to set up a server to VirtualCenter 2.5 inside a firewall and put servers ESX 3.5 within each of our customer networks. The problem is that within each client network, the IP address must be coordinated. Support of ESX 3.5 originating server, and if so, how do I set up? If not, how VMware plans to support this?

    I think I am confused?

    It is on this link?

    Supported for VirtualCenter 2.0 only NAT

    This version supports for the connection from ESX Server 2.5 and VirtualCenter 3.0 hosts using NAT (NAT). To configure ESX Server to connect to a VirtualCenter server is configured behind a NAT, you must add the following in vpxd.cfg configuration setting:

    < vpxd >

    ...

    < managedip >ipAddress< / managedip >

    ...

    < / vpxd >

    When the IP address is the address of the host ESX Server uses to communicate with the VirtualCenter server.

    See KB 2195771 "Manually setting Cluster IP address for Clustered VirtualCenter Server" for more information on the manual configuration of the IP address in the file vpxd.cfg.

    Also note that the NAT must be configured to allow packets UDP Port 902 of this IP address.

  • ESX Server timed out when I try to enter the license server in the CR

    Hi all

    I have a problem with the addition of two new ESX servers in our virtual Center.

    Let me give you a brief overview:

    We have 5 servers ESX and virtual Center Server.

    All servers are in a single Cluster (Cluster 01)

    Now, we want to use Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and for this reason, we bought another 2 servers (blades).

    I installed from scratch with ESX 3.5 Update 4.

    I did a second Cluster in our VC (Group 02) and add the two.

    I configured the network settings and storage, everything went very well, shoot when I want to point to our license server, whenever I get an error message from our VC. Operation timed out and my settings when not accepted. No matter if I get the IP address or FULL domain name. BUT I can ping our server to ESX Server licenses, so I'm not sure if this is some sort of DNS issue or not.

    Another note: our first 5 ESX servers where ESX Server Standard license.

    Our new ESX servers where an ESX Server VDI license. I used the CD to install ESX normal, because I have not found any VDI install special files.

    I see all licenses in the Administration view in our VC, so I think our license file is not corrupted.

    Things I've done so far:

    Renewal of license, start stop server, esx Server license installed twice from scratch

    I have no more ideas, I hope someone could help me with this problem.

    According to your image, you have 0 agent licenses virtual centre-left to allocate to new hosts.  What might happen, is that the agent is not properly installed on the new servers.  Connect to ESX servers.  Make sure that you can test the virtual Center by domain name server FULL and hostname, not only by intellectual property.  From your RESUME, ping your esx server fqdn and the host name.

    Also, check the file/etc/hosts on your esx server and make sure that the entries are tiny.

  • How to manually configure the IP, subnet, gateway on the new NIC in ESX Server 3.5

    Hello, first let me say that I am relatively new on ESX Server and so the question I ask here may seem trivial but I looked through the documentation and other threads and that you have not found quite what I'm looking for.

    I have an ESX Server 3.5 with a number of production virtual machines running works very well.  I need to install a second NETWORK adapter because my use of the network will go through the roof, once I convert a production server used in a virtual machine on this machine.  I have a server Dell PE 2950 and I bought an Intel Pro/1000 PT dual port PCI-e adapter that is on the list of hardware supported.  In the reading I did, every reason to believe that when I set up the server, the new network cards will appear in the VIC where I can assign to a new Vswitch and so forth, so I get it.  What I don't see in the VIC is a way to specify the NETWORK adapter settings.

    The problem is that the switch I connect to, put in place by our network management staff, will not be DHCP settings of NETWORK card for me, I have to manually configure the IP, subnet and gateway until I can start talking.  When I initially installed ESX, I was able to provide all parameters of NETWORK card installation - which is not the case now with the new NETWORK card and the operating system all this up and running.  How do I do this?  Thanks for any help.

    ... BillH

    Adding another physical NETWORK card to your vSwitch will make this new Teddy to comply with policies of vSwitch.  In particular, the load balancing algorithm will determine how the additional bears will get used.  By default, this is done with switch port ID.  This means that each vm NIC that feeds, will choose the next available bear to talk about.  The virtual NIC will essentially be Robin and choose the next Teddy online to talk it through and will so remain like that until a failure condition occurs, or the virtual machine is restarted.

    If you know a particular VM is a high user of I/O, and you want to separate its traffic from the rest of your virtual machine, and then create a new portgroup on vSwitch0, assign this new portgroup 3rd Teddy and use the other two as before.  In addition, in your regular exchanges, remove or make sleep 3rd Teddy.  In this way you completely isolate the heavy vm from the rest of your systems.

  • How to control vmotion license to the ESX Server

    I have 5 servers ESX 3.5 U3 in my vCenter.  Two are using host license and three are in a cluster and using the server license assigned by my license server, that runs on vCenter.  However, my ESX servers two stand alone using the host license receive a license of vmotion by my license server and my ESX servers in my cluster but cannot get a license of vmotion because their attributed to the wrong ESX Server.

    How can I get the vmotion license released by the ESX servers who don't need and make it available on my ESX Server who need?  My three ESX servers in cluster shared storage for vmotion and don't have my two stand alone ESX servers.

    I tried simple things, like the disconnection of servers and ESX servers in reconnection vCenter, re-reading of license files, restart the license server, etc..  license and vCenter server is 2.5 U4.

    Thanks in advance.  Jim

    go to the configuration tab and click Networking, you have a Port VMkernel configuration?  If so, edit click the vSwitch properties, change your VMkernel port settings and uncheck the box that says VMotion: enabled.
