vmreconfig.pl adding a network adapter with port group

I have searched the net looking for a way to add a network adapter on a virtual machine and specify the port group / name of command line or with vi perl of the network and have found no examples (or change a network map of existing virtual machine port group). Adding an adapter with vmreconfig.pl is easy, but there is no place to set the port group (containing a special VLAN id for the new virtual machine that is just cloned). I am creating a fully automated system and this characteristic seems to be missing or I missed just plan. Can anyone help?

Here is the code which is close to what we use:

#$netname is a string of the name of the network, the host view is the moref of the host that you deploy on

My $net_vm_dev_conf_spec = create_net_device (network-online $networkname name, hostview-online $host_view).

  1. create virtual device configuration for NIC specifications

  2. ================================================

void create_net_device {}

my % args = @_;

My $network_name = $args {netname};

My $host_view = $args;

{if ($network_name)}

My $network_list = Vim::get_views (mo_ref_array-online $host_view-> network);

{foreach (@$network_list)}

If ($network_name eq $_-> name) {}

my $network = $_;

My = $nic_backing_info

VirtualEthernetCardNetworkBackingInfo-> new (deviceName => $network_name,)

network-online $network);

My = $vd_connect_info

VirtualDeviceConnectInfo-> new (allowGuestControl,-online 1

connected-online 1,

startConnected-online 1);

My $nic = VirtualE1000-> new (support => $nic_backing_info,)

key-online 9999,

unitNumber => UNDEF,

addressType-online "product."

connectable-online $vd_connect_info).

My = $nic_vm_dev_conf_spec

VirtualDeviceConfigSpec-> new (device-online $nic,

operation => VirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation-> new ('add'));

Return $nic_vm_dev_conf_spec;

}

}

}

}

#then create a config specification

my new VirtualMachineConfigSpec =-> () $config_spec

deviceChange =>,

);

#Then apply this config spec spec clone or something.

  • Several subnets on a NETWORK adapter with BladeCenter?

    We have an IBM BladeCenter H chassis with switches Cisco 3012.  Each blade server is configured with a total of 4-port NETWORK adapter.  Our initial intention was to 2 4 network cards for the traffic of the virtual machine and the others, two for tolerance to the failures/vmotion/management team.  It has recently been brought to my attention that there is another necessary subnet for some of the virtual machines that will run on these servers.  So, my question is, can I have access to multiple networks (10.1.1.x & 192.168.0.x) through two NICs servile mentioned above to the traffic of VMware?  Keep in mind it's bladecenter environment, I have the external ports on the back of the chassis of the physical connectivity.  All documentation showing this would be the icing on the cake.  Thanks in advance.

    You should be able to this with trunking and tagging of vlan. This will allow you to pass the traffic of multiple VLANs and label it.

  • Network adapter/USB Port on Windows 7 problems

    So basically, I moved to another House and after do not use my PC for a while something happened my usb port, either my adapter or Windows.

    My computer at the front has 2 ports, usb 3.0 port and a normal USB port that does not for a long time now (broken). At the rear, I 2 s 3.0 and 4 more normal. On my iPad, internet is fast, 35 Mbps download and upload 13. On my PC, once I log on the 3.0 in the front port, nothing happens. Windows can not find anything, do not help convenience stores. I have always used this port before, and the connection was great, although now he doesn't seem to see anything. At the rear, the normal USB ports give me a 0, 50-1, 00 Mbps download and upload, the 3.0 s give me like speed of 2, 50 - 4.00. It worked really better before on the front port, I tried the system restore... That's happened? All the patches? I need really better internet for my PC.

    Roju salvation,

    Please contact Microsoft Community. I've surely you will help solve this problem.

    To better understand the issue, I would need more information on your side.

    1. What is the number of brand and model of the computer?

    2 do you meet any question when you connect other USB devices in the front port?

    3. What are all the troubleshooters that you tried?

    4. do you receive any error messages?

    This problem might have occurred because of these reasons:

    1. corrupted driver.

    2. hardware issue.

    Try the steps listed here:

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to download and install the driver network and chipset on the computer manufacturer website and check if it helps.

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, I suggest to uninstall and reinstall the Device Manager USB controllers and check to see if it helps.

    (a) press on the Windows key + R, type devmgmt.msc.

    (b) expand USB controllers, click drivers.

    (c) click on Properties, click on the Uninstall tab.

  • Adding the NETWORK adapter to IBM HS21 blades

    Our Organization has a chassis Bladecenter IBM: six HS21 blades.  We use the default two NIC that came with the servers and would like to add two more by blade. My question is since the chassis has only two inside Cisco switches, how will these two additional NIC to communicate with them? Or do we need to buy two additional switches to account for the additional NETWORK card

    Phillip Dingler

    VCP

    How do you connect storage? Using iSCSI or FC? We use iSCSI with the HS21 blades, which means that we use a qlogic hba adapter to connect to our storage. If this is your installation, the only way to add more than one network interface card is to obtain on your blade expansion card. If you do, it occupies part of the blade on your chassis, which case, additional network cards are transferred to the port of extra blade. Who is?

  • Single NETWORK adapter with 5 IPs

    Hi guys,.

    I'm new to ESXI 5.5 and have a question. My server has a single NETWORK card and I got 5 fps by my ISP. I want to run 4 virtual machines on my server. I want one of the IPs to be assigned to the hypervisor and the 4 other IP address to assign to each host.

    Is this possible with a single NETWORK card, if so, can someone guide me in the right direction on how to accomplish?

    Thank you!

    Unless your service provider restricts the number of MAC addresses on the same switch port (your uplink port), there is nothing special you need to do. Simply assign an IP address to the host as well as each of the virtual machines. That's all.

  • Remove a NETWORK adapter with a voltage VM.

    Greetings

    I note the discussion at this link... Network card remove virtual machine running?

    Given the above is a bit old, I was wondering if there was a better way to do it now? It works, although there seems to be a bit of a brute force backend way to do. Because I need to do for the production of 2000 virtual machines I don't want to take any chances, if I can possibly help it.

    One of the effects that I found that may be of this method is that the virtual machine occasionally requires a vMotion to solve "configuration not valid for device number '0' when it is tempting to connect offline VMs. NIC

    Please can I confirm if there is a better way to allow hot withdrawal of a NETWORK card, and then use the 'normal' way to remove a NIC (Remove-carte_reseau).

    Thank you very much!

    I'm afraid that the situation has not changed, you should always use the API method.

    In fact, if monitor you (with Onyx, for example) what happens when you remove one card NETWORK to a VM under tension from the vSphere client, you will notice that the same method of the API is used.

    It is also important to understand that some comments not the OS really love hot-removal of a network card.

    On the positive side, they are for most older versions of OS.

  • ESX uses network adapter with the mac address that is different than virtual connect reports

    Hi all

    Our ESX environment consists of HP C7000 enclosure, virtual connect 1 gb ethernet with a mixture of BL480c and BL460c. We just bought some new BL460c G7 with NIC NC553i to replace some of the oldest BL480c. We have configured Virtual Connect to assign mac addresses. In vc management consoleI see the addresses assigned to the server, but when I start the server displays a different mac address for nic #2 that vc does. NIC #1 has the same mac address of console management vc and in the server BIOS. When I install ESX also sees the 'wrong' for #2 nic mac address. According to vmware nic #2 has not any network connected to what should be if it was really nic #2 (according to the vc management console).

    When I look at the mac addresses in the BIOS none of the network interface card have the mac address assigned by vc. VC firmware is 3.01. I have attached the photos I see information in the management of VC and BIOS console. Someone at - it for clues to what is happening and how can I solve it? Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    Please refer to:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1001167

    Note:   The ESX host uses following addresses starting with 00:50:56 (as opposed to the address embedded in the interface itself).

    To determine the MAC address of the interface Board of the ESX host, run the command:
    # ifconfig | grep-i hw
    The output looks like:
    vswif0 Link encap HWaddr 00:50:56:41:5 A: 59
    The MAC address is in the first line after HWaddr.  In this example, the MAC address is 00:50:56:41:5 has: 59.

    Note:   The ESX host uses following addresses starting with 00:50:56 (as opposed to the address embedded in the interface itself).

  • Satellite L500-13z - Windows 7 does not recognize wireless network adapter

    Hello

    The Windows 7 RC Device Manager does not recognize my wireless network adapter (for example: Atheros, Intel or Realtek). I tried to install all the Toshiba support drivers, but none of them work:

    After installation, they ask me to connect the unit to my computer (of course it is still on the motherboard!).

    =>, Is there a way to know what is my Wifi adapter?

    that one failed: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7201PO000SR01.htm (this is the only Word to say "network adapter" with a yellow exclamation point).

    -Online someone knows when will be released Windows 7 drivers on the website?

    Hello

    Before you begin to install all drivers WLAN you can find on the Toshiba site you must make sure that wireless network card, you have exactly. You can check in the Device Manager-online properties-online Details of the local network adapter device.
    Need you an information like PCI\VEN_XXXX & DEV_XXXX

    If you have based this information you are looking for with these terms on this site in order to determine the exact WLAN card:
    http://www.PCIDatabase.com/

    After that, you can download the driver appropriate for your laptop. Before installing, you must uninstall all other versions and restart the laptop.
    Also, make sure that the WIFI is enabled with the hardware switch and FN + F8.

  • How the Virtual Machine port group communication?

    How the Virtual Machine port group communication?

    Port group is virtual aggregation of ports on vSwitch. A vSwitch can have multiple Port groups which separate the different network traffic. Port groups communicate with vSwitch, and we have physical network maps on vSwitch which establish communication with the external network. We can configure security, NIC teaming, traffic shapping nework political and at the level of the port groups. Once the port group is created, we can assign to vNIC

    How to establish communication?

    Public network > Switch L3 Core > ESXi physical adapter > vSwitch > groups > virtual NIC > Virtual Machine

    Virtual machine connect to the physical map using vNIC coming on Port groups. This is how it works.

  • Distributed port group

    Hi guys,.

    Is it interesting / reason to be distributed without an adapter vmkernel port group?

    I guess that you are referring to a vmnic, the physical network card? If so, the answer is "rarely". The virtual machines in this group of ports cannot talk about what anyone outside the host on which they are located.

    If you are talking about vmkernel from the host interface, the reason why you would have a dvPortgroup without that one would be a VM guest liaison.
