  How to configure a VM with multiple network cards to see Agent?

  We can archive this requirement by configuring the subnet used view Agent.

  The subnet determines which view address of Network Agent provides the server instance to connect to view for the client protocol connections. The view on VM officer has more than one NIC

  Follow the procedure below:

  on a display Agent installed VM,

  * Recording of VM session.

  * RUN--> type regedit or type regedit.exe at the command prompt

  * Create a registry entry to configure the subnet.

  For example: is HKLM\Software\VMware, Inc. \VMware VDM\Node Manager\subnet = n.n.n.n/m type - REG_SZ.

  In this example, n.n.n.n is the TCP/IP subnet, and m is the number of bits in the subnet mask.

• Questions about the allocation of multiple NETWORK cards in a machine virtual Windows XP Machine HOST/NAT or bridged?

  Hi all

  That is the situation. We have a Machine physics WindowsXP with 5 CARDS, all with static IP. Only be connected to the internal network without physical Internet connection is used.

  Map NETWORK 1 has a 10.34.78.241/255.255.255.0 IP Gateway 10.34.78.2

  Map NETWORK 2 has an IP 192.168.22.242/255.255.255.0

  Map NETWORK 3 has a 192.168.100.241/255.255.255.0 IP

  Map NETWORK 4 has an IP 172.27.254.240/255.255.0.0

  5 NIC has an IP 192.168.242.10/255.255.255.252

  I used VMWare Converter Standalone to do a P2V PC, which works well with the latest version of VMWare Workstation. All were brought to the course successfully. The virtual machine has 5 Networksas by the XP Machine of origin.

  I built a Win7 Machine with 5 physical NETWORK interface cards, I suppose to replicate the Windows original XP Machine, I need configure the static IP address of the new NICs as shown above and configure cards NETWORK the VM 5 HOST mode and use the virtual network Editor

  to adapt the VMS NICS? Or is there a better way to do it?

  Cheers for any help and advice that can be provided...

  If I'm wrong, you should be able to create a Bridged (vmnet) network for each physical card. Make sure that one (which is created by default) is mapped to a physical NIC dedicated rather than automatic.

• Server with multiple network cards

  Hello

  I have a server with multi-port NETWORK adapter running ESXi 5.5.0

  Can anyone remind me how to allocate a VM to port a network?

  or point me to the URL of the full help?

  Thank you all

  The c# Client is that you need to install on your windows computer. The alternative would be the Web Client vSphere. Both are essentially 'vSphere customers. "

  Anyway, you don't need to restart. You can change the network as you want without having to reboot.

• I want to know if we can add more than one network card and maximum how we can add?

  Well, if I want to add a network card or two at - it a possiblity of external cards containing those integrated? If so what to do with it?

  This would be only limited by the number of slots or ports for the cards.  What exactly are you trying to accomplish?  These types of configurations are generally only used on servers and, depending on what you are trying to accomplish, the use of multiple network cards usually leads to two simultaneous situations:

• Cable connection part for good - once I started using the wireless NETWORK card!

  Hello

  I went although all people in support on this issue, but now I have no other choice than to ask all you people here!

  That is the problem. I have two computers with multiple network cards. One is a laptop computer with wireless Draft-N support and 10/100/1000 NIC onboard. The other is a desktop computer with an ASUS Wifi b/g edge and also dual GigE ports nVidia graphics card.

  Whenever I try to use network wired for internet or local network even cards use, it died on me. It is impossible to obtain an IP address from the router to use and is unable to communicate with anyone at all. Not even with my local network or even directly to the router (192.168.1.1). If I turn on the wireless card, it connects and everything is groovy (except that I lost my GigE connection to my local network, which is most important!).

  I havegone through the standard fare of cyclic power to the router and cable modem, reboot of my machines, etc. all the normal things, we are required to do.

  After some hassles with the support of Linksys to get them to send me a new WRT330N, I finally received a new WRT310N and it shows exactly the same problem! Wireless connections work fine, but as soon as I disable the WiFi and wired go, Windows XP gives me nothing else than a message "limited or no connectivity" and let me out of the network.

  This leads me to think it's some sort of network problem due to multiple MACs on the same host name. Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

  Thank you!

  Disable the firewall on the computer and then also try to connect the computer to the modem and check if the computer is able to connect.

• Load balancer and the consolidation of NETWORK cards

  Hello

  We recently had to our file VMware Server after a bit nasty failure of his original material.  Since we moved, it mostly worked OK, but we don't get the occational network shares paw when large files are thrown on.

  ESXi host, sure it works use 5Gbit ethernet adapters on the same Virtual Switch.  Looking at the traffic it would seem that all traffic flows in just a single NETWORK adapter and it is not much at all through the others.  Is something that I need to set it up so that it can better load balance between network cards?  Or is it a document anywhere who recommended settings for multiple network cards?

  I found a vDS topic but we have not undertaken more liciencing on most of our servers.

  We run VSphere 4.1 via the Vcentre server.

  Thanks for the help.

  What you say makes a little more sense on what I see.  There is very little traffic flowing through other NETWORK cards, but is perhaps because there isn't any real traffic goes to them.  I thought that VMware may use multiple NICs, if it was required that is why I thought I'd see more data on the other.

  Curiosity is anyway that I can combine NICs for more flow using VMware?

  The load balancing, you can achieve with VMware is not a "real" load balancing, this is more a static distribution of traffic in accordance with the policy, you have chosen.

  You use means that according to the virtual switch port ID the vNIC to the host is connected to a specific bear is chosen. This unique vNIC traffic will use this bear as long as this bear does not fail. In this case the guests more with vNIC, you have the better are used Teddy.

  Other policies can be better for other scenarios. For example, 'Hash IP' uses the source IP address and target to choose a teddy bear. It is a good policy for a server with a vNIC single file and many different communication partners. The 'Source Port' policy route all traffic through a teddy bear so that 'Hash IP' policy would use many Teddy as not what ID port is used, but the communications partners. And a file server must have many of them, more than it has of vNIC.

• Feature request: Advanced mode to display the MAC address of the network card

  When a virtual machine has multiple network cards, and when it is not easy to get/know MAC address within o/s comments, it would be nice if there is a way of GUI for the MAC address for any individual network adapter.  I don't mind if this function is in some "advanced only user" box, as long as it is available.

  I know that it is also possible to open the .vmx file for this information, but if there is a sort of GUI, why not?

  Just came across this old post of mine, let me answer myself

  Requested, accessible functionality in the Advanced... button, is available in the Workstation 8 and later versionsand 12 player (at least).

• Create multiple virtual machines with 2 network cards

  Hey guys -.

  Been researching some scripts of difference but did not find one who will help me in my situation.

  I'm looking for a script that will allow me to clone model and apply network settings to 2 network cards.

  1 clone Vms + 20 model

  2 Let me send it to a particular lun (using a few LUNS to available)

  3. choose a custom unique specification

  4. apply intellectual property on 2 NICs (primary and backup).

  Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

  Thank you

  Sorry to lose this thread out of my sight.

  What follows is an attempt to meet all the conditions you listed.

  $numberOfVM = 20$baseVMName = "VM"$templateName = "Template"$osCustName = "MyCust"$IPBase1 = "192.168.1."$IPBase2 = "192.168.2."$IPMask = "255.255.255.0"$IPGate1 = "192.168.1.254"$IPGate2 = "192.168.2.254"$IPDns1 = "192.168.1.100"$IPDns2 = "192.168.2.100"
  
  # Target resourcepool$resPool = Get-ResourcePool -Name Resources
  
  # Get the template$template = Get-Template -Name $templateName
  
  # Create a copy of the OS Customisation SpecTry {    Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name tempOSCust |    Remove-OSCustomizationSpec -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction Stop}Catch {}
  
  $osCust = Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name $osCustName |     New-OSCustomizationSpec -Name tempOSCust -Type NonPersistent
  
  # Clone the number of requested VM1..$numberOfVm | %{    # Find the datastore with the most free space    $ds = Get-Datastore | Sort-Object -Property FreeSpaceGB -Descending |        Select -First 1
  
      # Update the OS Customisation Spec NIC parts with the IP addresses    Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping -OSCustomizationSpec $osCust |    Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping -Position 1 -IpMode UseStaticIP -IpAddress "$IPBase1$_" `        -SubnetMask $IPMask -DefaultGateway $IPGate1 -Dns $IPDns1 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
  
      Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping -OSCustomizationSpec $osCust |    Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping -Position 2 -IpMode UseStaticIP -IpAddress "$IPBase2$_" `        -SubnetMask $IPMask -DefaultGateway $IPGate2 -Dns $IPDns2 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
  
      # Create the new VM    New-VM -Name "$baseVMName$_" -Template $template -OSCustomizationSpec $osCust `        -Datastore $ds -ResourcePool $resPool  | Out-Null}
  

  The script will create clones of $numberOfVM of the model. The virtual machines will be created at the root of the bunch, and they will be called VM1, VM2...

  The OSCustomizationSpec needs to exist and must have 2 network cards.

  The script finds the data store with more free space to create each virtual computer.

  Addresses IP of NIC are consecutive, for example on NIC1 you get 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2... and so on.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

• vSphere replication - grouping of NETWORK cards

  We have a large virtual machine (60 to VMDK) we need to replicate to a second host.  We are currently receiving about 100 MB/s and it seems we're reached the limit of 1 GB.  I want to increase the bandwidth available for this large replication work by aggregating traffic through several nic is it possible?  If so, how?

  I tried the following approach, thinking that these operations can be based on the same transfer mechanism, but it has not made a difference.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & addresses...

  The KB points it is grouping of network cards that will help when you lost the active NIC then stand by will pass your tgraffic.

  Now coming to your scenario, you need to configure the user profile of the NIOC here you have to devote all the speed of the network to this replication job card. You cannot aggregate multiple Nic for reaching the combined capacity. We have a concept called LAG and LACP. but it will also give the speed that is independent to the different traffic

• Network card for ESXi 5.5 on 10 Workstation

  I have a comments 5.5 ESXi hypervisor running on a 5.5 ESXi hypervisor host. I used vCenter Standalone Converter 5.5.2 to convert the hypervisor of comments to a VMWare Workstation VM (v10).

  Now the network card is not recognized by the hypervisor of comments ESXI 5.5 running in workstation 10. Specifically, the error is "no compatible network adapter found. For a list of the cards taken in charge, please consult the Hardware Compatibility Guide (HCG) products'. Networking on the hypervisor of comments on the ESXi 5.5 running hypervisor host works very well.

  I tried to remove the adapter and recreate in my computer, and it didn't is not that many settings in VMWare Workstation for network cards so I don't know what I could do wrong.

  Notes:

  • I was originally the guest ESXi works normally on 10 Workstation (put in a network all worked) and I actually used the stand-alone converter to implement on the ESXi host in the first place. So from my point of view I basically just downloaded and then downloaded again and the network card has stopped working - but I'm sure it's more complicated than that.
  • I added vhv.enable = "true" in the vmx file twice after the conversion of the virtual machine.
  • I enabled 'Virtualiser EPT-x/Intel VT or AMD-V/IVR' in the settings of the processor.
  • The prompt that is running on the ESXi ESXi host, I had the network configured to be promiscuous, but I don't think I can do it again on my computer one because the ESXi guest cannot yet see the NIC at this stage.

  I believe that the default ethernet to guestOS adapter type 'other' is vLance.  Open the settings of the virtual machine and try to change the operating system invited to 'ESXi 5.x.

• two networks showing on vm when one network card installed.

  Hello

  I have a virtual computer whose use have two network adapters, a network card was on vm
  a vlan 20 of the network and the other was on vm two network vlan 21, one of the
  interface cards network has been disabled. I have now deleted one of the network adapter, but when I look at the
  standard switch it is always showing the virtual machine to be on both networks. If I look at
  the summary of the virtual machine, it also appears
  It is in the two networks. It is in sight for VI client connected to
  vCenter. If I connect the host to the virtual machine runs then all
  properly, shows a network card in a network.

  Any ideas how to fix this seen vcenter?

  If the virtual machine has Active snapshots, the deleted virtual network adapter will display until you delete the snapshot. The reason is that ESXi must remember the configuration of the 'old', where you decide to go back to a snapshot that was still the second NETWORK card in use.

• Failed to create FT logging with grouping of NETWORK cards

  I use vSphere vCenter 5.1 and 5.1.

  I create a port group of kernel VM on a new vSwitch, assign two NICs used on my ESX Server and logging FT. I have then add a second port VM kernel group to the two network cards and also assign FT logging. When I do this FT Logging the first port of kernel VM group is disabled. If I then manually enable FT gones then a second by logging on the first group of ports of kernel VM mode off.

  The same thing happens when I create 2 vSwitches, assign 1 NIC to each of them and assign the FT logging.

  I wanted to create my FT Logging predisposees in this way to match what I've done with vMotion and VM Network.

  I do something wrong or you can have a group of ports per server for recording of FT? Please notify.

  Thank you

  Multi-NIC VMotion is a new feature in vSphere 5.0. Multi-NIC FT has not yet been introduced. You mentioned trade Multi-NIC VM, but it is not possible either. While you can have two interchanges to connect to the same VLAN they must have unique names and a VM NIC may connect only to a unique name.

  What advantage do you hope to achieve with Multi - NIC FT? If the goal is more throughput 10G is the only option currently. If the lens is better traffic load balancing so that you could watch LACP on the vDS.

• ESXi 5 multiple networks on the same host

  Is it possible to have a host with multiple (three) cards of each on a separate network?  How would you configure the network adapters in vSphere?

  Welcome to the VMware forums communities.  It's not a problem seen ESXi on 3 separate networks.

  By dΘfaut of ESXi installation will create a virtual switch (vSwitch0) with a management port and the Virtual Machine port group.

  You'll want to create other vSwitches 2 with 2 other network cards.  Configuration > Networking tab, click Add Network.  In the Add Network Wizard you select the Virtual Machine as the Type of connection and on the next screen, you will be able to create a new vSwitch with one of the NIC ports.  You can repeat this process for the other NIC.

  When you configure your virtual machines, you will select a network tag which is appropriate for the physical network you want to connect to.

  Depending on your network needs you can configure things differently.  If you use a VLAN, then you can have a unique vSwitch with multiple virtual machine port groups (each linked to a specicifc VLAN).
