Virtual script for security of Distributed Switch settings

Hello

Is there a script I can use to list the security settings of the distributed virtual switches (dvS)?

output should be like:

Enable Promiscuous: false
Allow the change of MAC address: true
Allow to forged allows transmission: true

The following PowerCLI script lists the security settings of the distributed virtual switches (dvS):

Get-View -ViewType VmwareDistributedVirtualSwitch -Property Name,Config.DefaultPortConfig | `
Select-Object -Property Name,
  @{N="Allow Promiscuous";E={$_.Config.DefaultPortConfig.SecurityPolicy.AllowPromiscuous.Value}},
  @{N="Allow MAC Address Change";E={$_.Config.DefaultPortConfig.SecurityPolicy.MacChanges.Value}},
  @{N="Allow Forged Transmits";E={$_.Config.DefaultPortConfig.SecurityPolicy.ForgedTransmits.Value}}

Best regards, Robert

  • Start the Script for an environment distributed in 11.1.2.1

    I am writing a script to start for all Oracle EPM services in a distributed environment. However, Essbase server does not seem to have its own service, then I wonder how I would script a start of the Essbase server on a remote server without it as a service.

    I tried implementing a batch on a single server to call the lots 'Start the EPM system' on the other two, but it still fails.

    You will need to start Essbase via opmn service, that is, you must start the opmn which, in turn, will begin its process managed through opmnctl that controls essbase.
    or there are services in windows by name Oracle Process manager (EPM_epmsystemX)... you start here to begin your essbase.

  • Distributed Switch vs switch Standard

    Hey all,.

    I was wondering if someone could answer some questions for me on distributed switches. I've worked with vmware for a few years now, but believe it or not I've never configured a distributed switch. The environment I work in always used standard switch, and when you're dealing with people who have the mentality of "if it ain't broke...". ', it is easy to become complacent. Everything in my environment is 5.1 incidentally.

    I read various articles on capacity now, but I don't have a test environment to break, so I have to pay attention to any changes I make. I thought it was better to ask those who are familiar with him before deciding on future changes.

    -What I lose any host on network management (what I used with switches std) as soon as I create a distributed switch?

    -Distributed is vCenter wide switching, or can I create several switches distributed by cluster, or only with certain subnets included?

    -What happens when I add a new host in a cluster with a distributed switch? It is automatically get set up with the distributed Switch networking capabilities?

    -Are there pitfalls or problems I should be aware, either when creating a distributed switch or in the day-to-day management of the/them?

    -What is the best thing that I win? Worse, I've lost?

    Thanks for your comments.

    Hello

    To answer your question:

    (1) so you don't lose everything as soon as you create the switch. You can create a vDS (assuming that licenses) at any time and configure / play with him. Until connect you hosts and uplinks, so it is a pretty useless component in vCenter.

    (2) a vDS is wide vcenter. However, you can create them individually if oyu want. That is to say - one for the traffic of comments, one for management, one for storage.  You can also have them by cluster if you REALLY want to and just add the hosts in this cluster in particular switch that you built. But reducing to zero the point of them a bit.

    (3) when you add the host, you will be asked what you want to use, if you want to migrate all the standard switch VMK interfaces and if you want to migrate VMs. ACE as soon as this host and its specific uplinks are on the switch then the host will be able to use the vDS for everything you have set for rising connections.

    (4) didn't really create them. Some people are a little cautious host management of investment (usually vmk0) on them, some people are not. In general, the rule is that with a vDS you can not manage it if vCenter is down. But with a vSwitch you can connect to the host directly and set it up in this way individually. There are traps in this respect of binding of static ports on the port groups, but it can be bypassed by the binding of ports muralism on the management ports group. Chris Wahl explains better than I've rambled

    (5) the best thing you can is to have a centralized management and create groups of ports. You have a new VLAN? Need a new group of port? Simply create once for the vDS and it applies to all guests! In addition, you also get control network IO, where you can assign actions to specific types of traffic and other goodies that are not available on standard switches. I would say that you lose much, vDS if you have the license and and a fairly large area are the way forward management. Trying to think really inconvenience but I can't!

    Happy to help you further!

  • Can I create with vSphere Enterprise Edition distributed vNetwork distributed switch?

    From the following URL, I wonder whether we can create vNetwork distributed switch with our existing Enterprise Edition.

    http://www.VMware.com/products/vSphere/buy/editions_comparison.html

    If the answer is YES, could any elaborate colleague on "Enabler for 3rd party switch support?  Currently, we use DELL switches.

    Thank you

    as said Enterprise Plus license is necessary for a vNetwork Distributed Switch.  You can create one under Enterprise license, but don't be fooled, you can not use.

    Maybe VMware one day will remove the ability to create even one based on the license model.

  • Script to change the settings for security vSwith

    We need a script to change the settings for security vSwitch.

    To change the below: -.

    Mac changes Accept Reject

    Forged pass Accept Reject

    The two parameters above must change on all the vSwitch in vcenter.

    Altogether. Pass an argument to Get-VMHost

    If you pass the complete hostname (as he shows in vCenter), it will act on the single host:

    Get-VMHost MYESXi01.mydomain.com

    or if you want to do more, you can pass a joker:

    Get-VMHost MYESXi*.mydomain .com

    FWIW, I think that should do the same thing on a single line, if you like this better

    Get-VMhost|%{$hv=Get-View $_.ID;$ns=$hv.ConfigManager.NetworkSystem;($hv.Config.Network.Vswitch)|%{$vs=$_.Spec;$vs.Policy.Security.AllowPromiscuous=$false;$vs.Policy.Security.ForgedTransmits=$false; $vs.Policy.Security.MacChanges=$false;$ns.UpdateVirtualSwitch($_.Name,$vs)}}

  • Consolidation and failover for the uplink on the Distributed switch port group

    Hello

    I have a problem with the implementation of a distributed switch, and I don't know I'm missing something!

    I have a few guests with 4 of each physical cards. On the host eash I configured 2 virtual switches (say A and B), with 2 physical network by vSwitch using etherchannel adapter. Everything works fine for etherchannel and route based on the hash of the IP for the latter.

    Recently, I decided to create two distributed switches and move the respective physical ports of virtual switches to this distributed switches. Once again, I want to configure etherchannel and route based on the hash of the IP. But when I open the settings for the uplink port group, aggregation and failover policies are grayed out and cannot be changed. Apparently they inherit configuration also but I don't know where!

  • VSS migration to virtual Distributed Switch configuration

    Hi all

    I am trying to wrap my brain around that and just run into a few problems actually make things work. Please bear with me, I will try and describe the environment that I have and what I'm trying to building with like jargin little I can.

    My current vmware environment consists of 3 hosts vsphere 4.x and about 6 different subnets. My primary host vSphere is home to the largest part of the virtual machine and manages 5 different subnets connected to each of 5 virtual switches separated with 1 assigned to each NETWORK adapter. Also, there is a switch of kernel VM with a connection to my NetApp iSCSI. The other vSphere hosts are simple enough, the two are connected to subnet 1 with a virtual switch for it and a switch of kernel VM with a connection to the NetApp iSCSI.

    Each subnet in my lab is managed/break through the VLANS on Cisco devices, so I saw that it had to assign any settings VLAN since the power of VMware.

    If you refer to the VMWare vNetwork Distributed Switch: Migration and vmware Configuration guide, I am trying to migrate a seup similar to this:

    vmware_multiple_vds.JPG

    However, I'm running issues when you try to get the int hosts a vDS configuration. I could create a vDS for my root subnet, add one of my hosts vSPhere and migrate the virtual machine to the new port group in this vDS. The Service console as well as the VMKernel remain virtual switches on the host and I can't understand how these migrate to a vDS host without lose the connection.

    I'm asssuming based on the number of subnets that I manage between hosts, I'll finish with about a 5-switch vritualDistributed for subnets, each with at least 1 card a vSphere host physical NETWORK link up to the appropriate subnet. In addition to this, I'm assumining I'll need to create a vDS for the Service console and VMKernel (iSCIS) traffic. The Service Console are on the same subnet, some VM most residence on that subnet, separate VSS was created on the hosts to manage separate traffic.

    Any help anyone can provide on how to create vDS for SC/vmk traffic and get the associated host migrated to which would be very useful. As I said I was able to create 1 vDS and add a host computer via 1 uplink NIC with the virtual machine, but nothing beyond that seems bad connection.

    Feel you please free to ask for additional details, I know it's a lot and maybe a bit confusing. Thank you.

    -Bryan

    Hello

    If I'm correct, when the host is added the vDS and the creation of the vDS Service Console, I have to select an unused NIC and migrate the SC existing to the new group of port... or should I add a second SC for the VSS by using a NETWORK card available and who migrate to the new vDS?

    Yes, select an unused physical nic so that you have a physical nic connected to the VSS and the other to connect to the uplink of vDS group and migrate the SC. existing if you have several hosts, vMotion all VM and test to see if the migration without distruption, also works to keep details of the ILO ready incase you need to connect to the console of the server.

    This is a very good book white http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere-vnetwork-ds-migration-configuration-wp.pdf that provides detailed information about the migration.

    All the best.

  • Script adding a host to a distributed switch does not

    It's weird and I'm sure it's something simple.  I've created a script that configures the NTP and the syslog on a host computer.  I added on the configuration of the standard vswitch0 and part works fine.  I set the MTU, add a vMotion and port FT and that part works fine. I wanted to add on a section of code to add the host of our distributed switch.  Environment vSphere 5.5 U2, switch is a distributed switch 5.5.  For some reason, the code is not error at all but just does nothing.  However, if I paste the code into a Powershell window it works fine.  Same code, same host, same switch.  Ideas as to why it works manually by pasting the code into a window, but does not work, I use the script itself.  Here's the code that does not work in the script:

    #Adds vmnic5 and vmnic6 for the distributed switch

    Write-Host

    Write-Host «Addition of $VMHost to the switch distributed $vds...» "- ForegroundColor"green ".

    Disconnect-VIServer *-confirm: $false #earlier part of the script is directly connected to the host

    SE connect-VIServer $vcenter | Out-Null #$vcenter variable created earlier in the script

    Get-VDSwitch $vds | Add-VDSwitchVMHost-Server $vcenter - VMhost $VMhost #$vds and $VMhost variables collected earlier in the script

    $vmnic5 = get-VMHost $VMhost | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter-physics - name vmnic5

    $vmnic6 = get-VMHost $VMhost | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter-physics - name vmnic6

    Get-VDSwitch $vds | Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter - VMHostPhysicalNic $vmnic5 - confirm: $false

    Get-VDSwitch $vds | Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter - VMHostPhysicalNic $vmnic6 - confirm: $false

    Seems pretty simple, but for some reason it just doesn't work.  Any ideas?

  • VNetwork Distributed Switch virtual cards

    Trying to get my head around e-cards in the distributed switch.

    In standard switch, I understand the hierarchy like this:

    vSwitch (upper level)

    groups (including the kernel) port (2nd level)

    physical cards (identical to "vmnic..") (join vSwitch)

    I do not understand the hierarchy for the distributed switches.  The use of the term virtual card throws me a loop for.  I consult the virtual map of term as something that you "attach" to something (vswitch etc...), not something you add.  For example, when I go in manage e-cards and select migrate existing adapters, I give you the choice of console and vmotion.  I find the console and vmotion as groups of ports and not e-cards.  Any help to understand this would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    From page 36 of the Guide de Configuration ESX (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40_u1/vsp_40_u1_esx_server_config.pdf):

    Virtual network cards manage services network host on a vNetwork Distributed Switch.

    You can configure the console service and VMkernel virtual cards for an ESX host by a partner

    vNetwork Distributed Switch or by creating new virtual maps or the migration of existing virtual cards.

    When you migrate a virtual network adapter, you should migrate the service or VMkernel console since a standard vSwitch to a group of ports in the vNetwork Distributed Switch.

  • Virtual distributed switches

    I'm trying to implement virtual switches distributed in vCenter. I created the distributed switch, then port groups. When I RT. Click the distributed switch > add a host, there is no available host. I have 3 hosts in a cluster, but I don't see one any of them. Any ideas how to add? We have a license from the company. Enterprise Plus it takes to add hosts? I think that would not allow you to add the distributed switch, if that were the case.
