Virtual Machine NIC failure!

Hello

I have a virtual machine (Windows 2003) environmental ESX 3 and I am facing a problem with it.     It was working fine and when I gave restart the NIC got automatically uninstalled and installed a new adapter.  Earlier network adapter was showing 'local area' connection and now its display "Local 2" network connection. When I assign a static IP address to "connecting to the network space 2" its gving me a warning that "IP is already used by another card.  So I tried to remove the old NIC that is not visible now. I ran the command "set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES = 1" and in the Device Manager click on 'show hidden devices '. But no use of it.  I could still see the old NIC ghosts.  I also referred a KB article and opportunity utility DEVCON to uninstall the old network card. Still no use.

The solution I want to remove all entries from the old card and make sure that one adapter is there in my VM.

How can I now delete the old NIC ghost?

Thanks in advance!

You should exect two command (set then Device Manager) from the SAME console.

Open cmd and exec:

Set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES = 1

devmgmt.msc

  • Checking configuration of the Virtual Machine NIC

    Hello people.

    I put in a virtual infrastructure that separates discrete security (DMZ/Intranet/Extranet/etc.) areas using port groups.  My main concern is to ensure that VM is not accidentally bridged for port groups on two separate security zones.  Someone is aware of a third party or tools included that will allow me to list and checking the configuration of virtual NETWORK map of all VM in my data center?  We use ESX 3.5 and Virtual Center 2.5.

    Thank you...

    Did you watch NetWrix VMware Reporter?  It will monitor and audit of your VMware changes and much more.  Have you thought about streamlining your authorization center VC so that no one else can reach your VM and more groups specified admin settings.  You can then use the tasks & events to see what activities were conducted by users / specific actions.  We have implemented strict access to our systems of VC and the Strip unnecessary permissions to that effect.

  • vMotion is a failure for virtual machines

    I'm trying to migrate virtual machines to one ESXi to another in the same cluster, it fails in the first stage. Storage and networking are shared and other same cluster different host machines have been migrated successfully. One could suggest?

    Are you a specific error when migrating?

    It's a failure at the end of specific percentage?

    Have you checked reverse migration between different host and no host work?

    Check if the nucleus of vMotion port is accessible from both ESXi hosts.

    If vMotion IP is not the ping requests, check if the IP configuration is correctly performed according to the standard.

    If the IP configuration is done correctly, try unchecking and rechecking vMotion core port of two hosts, it should work.

    Also check that vMotion does not work on dVS and Standard with different IP configuration.

  • Remove a NIC vCloud several virtual machines

    Hello

    I am a vCO and extremely raw newbie with JavaScript (a great combination).  My production environment consist of vCenter 5.0, 5.1 and 5.1 vCO vCD. I have the plugin installed vCD and running with Orchestrator.  I am trying to build a workflow that removes NIC1 (NIC 1) of a series of vCloud VMs.  I took a copy of the vCloud Director Library Workflow (remove a NETWORK adapter) and edited the virtual machines of an input parameter to be an array / vCloud:VM.  I modified the taks script so that it loops through the virtual machines in the array and returns their network adapters.  It seems that the network cards are returned as a UID (I have this return to the screen via a System.Log).  This UID is obviously not with that I entered to the workflow runtime - I said "NIC 1" and my workflow will fail with an error "no primary network connection exists; majorErrorCode = 400; minorErrorCode = BAD_REQUEST; vendorSpecificErrorCode = null; (Workflow: remove a NIC 1 / remove the NIC (item0) #22) " Here is the code I use: .

    If (vm. Status! = VclVMStatus.POWERED_OFF.value) {}
    throw "VM is not off."
    }
    var found = false;
    var len = vms.length;
    for (var i = 0; i < len; i ++)
    {
    var VM = vms [i];
    network var cards = VM.getNetworkCards ();
    System.log (NICS);
    var newNics = new Array();
    for (i = 0; i < nics.length; i ++) {}
    If (. itemResource.elementName.value NIC [i]! = nicName) {}
    newNics.push (nics [i]);
    } else {}
    found = true;
    }
    }
    If (! found) {}
    throw 'Invalid NIC name';
    }
    task = VM.updateNetworkCards (newNics);
    }

    As I mentioned earlier, I am a complete newb to vCO\JavaScript and would be really grateful for some input\advice.  If there is a better method to remove the NIC 1 to a litany of vCloud VMs, or if someone has already developed a workflow for this, I would be very grateful for your help.

    Thank you


    Try this:

    var section = vm.getNetworkConnectionSection();
    System.log("Primary card was NIC : " + section.primaryNetworkConnectionIndex);
    section.primaryNetworkConnectionIndex = 1;
    task = vm.updateSection(section);

  • NIC goes away on a Windows virtual machine

    Someone on my team ran into this problem on the two virtual machines.

    1020718 Ko tire

    ESX 4.x introduced a new feature called HotPlug. In some deployments cards virtual network may appear as removable devices on the system tray in Windows operating systems. Problems can occur if you confuse this device for one that you can safely remove. This is especially true in the VMware View environments, where there is a constant interaction with the desktop. Do not remove the virtual network adapters in the Windows system tray.
    There is a demand for change identified in the KB resolution for our models of windows. I have never seen this before and is reluctant to make changes to the basic models. Does anyone know what specific deployment scenerio causes this anamoly of system tray?

    Hello

    the Connect feature is not an anomaly, and it occurs not only with specific deployment scenarios. It introduces the possibility of adding hot and hot / deletion of certain devices of harware (such as the network interface cards) and to a virtual machine (if the guest operating system also supports) regardless of the manner in which it was deployed.

    An often undesirable side effect is that a user accidentally unplug NIC of the virtual machine by using the tray icon "safely remove hardware...» ».

    You can avoid this by setting the advanced VM configuration which is explained in http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012225option.

    Make this change to a virtual computer model will result in all virtual machines deployed from this model to have disabled HotPlug.

    It has no negative side effects, so I think only that a certain measure and I would recommend it even.

    I hope this helps...

  • Move a virtual machine to a different nic

    I have a host who has four NICs.  I want to separate the traffic from a virtual machine to a specific network card that is not in use now. Currently, the host has configured two vswitches. He can see the four NICs and only two have been associated with the two vswitches.

    I was thinking about adding a third switch and adding the new network adapter.  Can I add the nic to the swith and just move the server itself?

    Thanks in advance for the help,

    Edsel

    Still not sure if I understand you correctly. What you need to migrate the virtual computer to another vSwitch is:

    • create a new vSwitch with a Virtual Machine port group
    • assign an unused uplink (vmnic) to this vSwitch and connect it to a physical switch
    • Open the settings of the virtual machine and change the port in the network settings
    • change the configuration OF the virtual machine if necessary

  • Configure 2 NICs for a virtual machine

    Hello

    How can I connect two physical network interface cards in a virtual machine?

    Each NIC is configured on a separate network - but on the same machine.

    is it possible...

    Thank you

    Hello

    Just create 2 vSwitches on the host, allocate the host's physical network cards to the separate vSwitches, then create the Group of ports by vSwitch, in the comments adds another nic and assign it to the Group of ports that you need.

  • State of the virtual machine after the host failure

    Hello

    If a virtual machine is running on a host and that host suddenly powers off dirty, like a power failure or a remote access card power the server due to a fault, overtemp etc., what happens to the virtual machine?

    My guess is the virtual machine is actually difficult, dirty off too and if HA is configured, etc it is going to do a full power on sequence. Or is it restart on a new server and be automatically in the same power state with the same States of memory and cpu until the host has dropped dead? So if I got a connection of the DRC in a vm of windows server and the host dies suddenly and it restarts, reconnect to the session even State immediately before the breaking of the host?

    Thank you

    When ESX\ESXi fails due to power failure:

    No configured HA:

    1. all virtual machines is also faces off against the sudden stop. SMV will lose data runtime and all communications (including the RDP connection) will be interrupted.

    Configured HA:

    1 VMs will be powered - on on a different host. However, its the same as a reset of the virtual machine, we will lose any unsaved data.

    We ensure 100% uptime for a virtual machine using VMware Fault Tolerance. In case of failure of the host, next time school resumes VM in FT. More details on IP are available at the following link.

  • Remove the NIC of the virtual machine running?

    Im trying to remove one NIC from a script and the machine has to be on. I am trying:

    Would I really thing that there is a way to remove the NETWORK card when the virtual machine is turned on?

    There with the ReconfigVM_Task method.

    $vm = Get-VM MyVM $nic = $vm.ExtensionData.Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_.DeviceInfo.Label -eq "Network adapter 2"}

     $vm.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM($spec)
    

    Don't know what the risk is, however.
