• VMware Infrastructure Client for Mac?

  Currently, I run VMware Infrastructure Client in a virtual machine on my Mac, or use to connect to a computer where the client is installed. It would be nice to have a Mac-native of the Infrastructure Client version. Are there plans to make benefit the VMware Infrastructure Client Mac OS X?

• Configure load balancing NETWORK for Exchange 2010

  Hello guys.

  I need help. Where I work, we have a project where we configure Exchange 2010 DAG and some other stuff, and we have 2 ESX with 1 CAD server and a Server CASE/HUB too on both of them and that we want to use the NLB on these two hosts.

  I found this, and this is much like what we want:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1006525

  So now our switch we want to create a virtual IP address for each of them, but we are not sure if we need to create a cluster on our servers for this.

  Did someone done this before that could give me some advice or contains information to make this work?

  Thanks for your help.

  Howdy,

  Am I was right assuming you want balancing two virtual computers CASE/Hub and NO servers DAG?  If Yes, then we are good to proceed... (if you want to do DAG servers load balancing, or if the DAG servers have all three roles, MBX/CASE/Hub, then Windows NLB is prohibited).

  You don't need to create a cluster as in MSCS or the Windows failover cluster, but do not create a pool of machines for load balancing.  You must install the components of Windows NLB on each machine virtual (VM Hub/CASE) and then follow the procedures described in this document: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/implmenting_ms_network_load_balancing.pdf to correctly configure the ESX host.  There are two ways to configure a WNLB, using the multicast and uni-cast (by default).  Uni-cast requires configuration changes side ESX (detailed in the document), multi-cast has some dependencies upstream network, mainly adding static arp entry in the router.

  Take a read through the white book (it was written by VI3, but the same thing applies in vSphere) and let me know if you have any questions.

• Configure load balancing NETWORK for Exchange 2010 - unicast or multicast

  Howdy,

  We are in the process of setting up CASE on VSphere and want to configure NLB. The documents I've read talk about using unicast or multicast modes. Unicast requires more setup server-side and multicast requires additional configuration on the side network. A mode is better than the other?

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Lily, multicast is generally the way favorite due to changes to the requirements to the vSphere host, when you use the multicast mode.  The necessary change disables ESX update upstream switches when a virtual machine is online.  Which means that the switches know where VMS obliging NLB to flood the switches, which is design as well as NLB works.  One effect of this is that the switches will also not learn changes due to vMotion or HA events that extend the time it takes switches to learn that the new location for a MAC address.

  Multicast road requires a static entry in the network layer and does not have the effect shown above.

• VMware infrastructure client for linux software

  It is:

  When I install ESXi and connect through the client to the IP hosts, I can get VMware Infr'action. client software (.exe)

  It's all very well, if the client is windows, but it is available for Linux client?

• Which TCP port is used for VMWare Infrastructure Client?

  Hello, my ESXi server sits on the private network, and I'm trying to PAT so that I can access the external network using VMWare Infrastructure Client Server. Does anyone know what port is VMWare Infrastructure Client listen? Thank you.

  Priscilla

  Do the external network for VMware NAT

  I guess you mean that your server is located in the internal network and Client is on the outside.

  If the customer does not have to "listen" for connections it opens TCP ports - HI 1024-65535 to servers as follows.

  Servers (including GSX) TCP ports: 8222, 8333, 902

  If you have ESX (i) then TCP ports: 80, 443, 902

• For Vmware Infrastructure details DropDown is EMPTY

  I'm a newbie in the converter and I'm doing a P2V using Converter 5.0 running on a Windows 7 computer where I am using VMware Workstation 7.  The source is a physical machine running Ubuntu 11.10.

  I spent an initial problem regarding root privileges using sudo in config xml files the agent and the worker.  When I get to the next screen, I expect to be able to use the drop-down list to select VMware Workstation Vmware infrastructure (see screenshot).  The problem is that there are NO options to choose from.  When I click on the drop down arrow, nothing happens.

  I did research in the community and on Google but could not find something to help.

  Everyone knows this?  Can you please help?  Thank you.

  The user's guide, p. 46:

  NOTE for conversions of machines source power that run on Linux, the only supported destination is a
  Destination of VMware Infrastructure

  Concerning

  Plamen

• using the converter no option for "Type of Destination." I am allowed only 'VMware Infrastructure virtual machine'

  Hi, I am looking to convert my localhost Ubuntu 9.10 for a machine virtual (vmdk) using vCenter Converter Standalone Client 4.0.1.

  I am at the step #2 (specify the Destination) and I expect to converter to allow me to choose a path to store the hard files.  However, 'Destination Type' does not have any selection - only 'VMWare Infrastructure virtual machine' is available.  (also there is input to the server, username, and password fields)

  What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  Hello

  using vmware converter 4.01 when virtual do physical power machines Linux the only available destination is ESX (i) server.

  One possible way to solve this handicap can be what makes an image of the Linux system using one of support for the products of the image and then use the vmware converter to set up the image of Linux box as a source and destination that it doesn't have to be a server ESX (i)

  If it comes to an eventual conversion, you can use a trial license with the product of the image (e.g. acronis true image or norton ghost).

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• Best practices for Exchange 2003 with VMWare ESXi 3.5 and iSCSI SAN

  Hello guys,.

  Here's the Q? We have 1 physical Exchange 2003, the HOST of 4 and 1 iSCSI SAN with LUN 3, 1 for data, 1 for VMWare and 1 for SQL, if we're going to virtualize it, I don't know where to put data Exchage and newspapers. I do not think that that is a good practice to put together the data but I do not have another SAN. So, what can I do?

  Thank you.

  We have 813 mailbox.

  I agree with cainics, start an average size and go from there.  I know it's a production mail server and you can not exactly 'play' with the settings because this requires time, but if you do the VM too big, you would have nothing left for other virtual machines.

  I would go 2 vCPU and at least 4 GB of RAM, maybe 8GB.  There must be parameters for the Exchange mailbox 813 and X users # to implement your environments in order to get an idea of the amount of RAM that will be... 4GB seems minimal to me, but 8 GB would probably be better like that.

• Update 3 for vmware Infrastructure 3 is a comprehensive update?

  Is update 3 for vmware Infrastructure 3, a comprehensive update or should I install the update 1 and day 2 first?

  I believe that if you apply the update 3 with the Update Manager and then rescan with your baseline, you will see fewer missing updates.  It should take care of all update 1 and day 2 patches.  If you want to apply update 3 make sure to run all of the patches that have been released since then as well, there are a few recent bugfixes of update 3.

  If all goes well with this number of hosts you can eliminate the time instead of reduce, if you have the DRS in fully automatic mode when you use the Manager to update to migrate the guests off the coast to other hosts for you while patch.

• Local host for VMware Infrastructure Client permissions

  We normally use vcenter 2.5 and ESX 3.5. Our user permissions are set on vcenter, using Active Directory.

  However when vcenter is out of service, we can connect locally to each esx host using the VMware Infrastructure client. Logging as root works very well. However, we have several local nonroot accounts defined on the ESX host.

  How can we give users permission to open a session? We want to be administrators on the graphical interface, but does not give the root password.

  As root, you will need to identify yourself with the VI Client and assign permissions to non-root users to access environment - but caution that you do not have the granularity of permissions, as you do with VC and if these hosts are managed by CR you do not want to make changes to them directly as this may affest DRS and HA-

• Sizing of VMware Infrastructure

  If you are going to build a VMware infrastructure, consider yourself the hyperthreading the processor function in order to have several virtual machines per server.

  Example:

  carrots 2 x 10 = 20 hearts (Physics)

  40 carrots (with hyperthreaading)

  I guess that 75% will be used for virtual machines and 1 vCPU per VM

  1-15 virtual machines for physics

  2 30 VMs with hyperthreading

  which is the best architecture, based on the physical cores or it is safe to use the feature hyperthreading for VM deployment.

  Finally, if I use the physical cores, is it safe I guess 1 physical core = 4 vCPU?

  Thank you!

  You must not consider hyper-threading, you still share the physical heart.  Here is a good article about the sizing and hyper-threading Gotcha Hyper-Threading with Machine vCPU virtual sizing - Wahl network

  It's safe I guess 1 physical core = 4 vCPU?

  You should never assume anything in a design unless support can be posted in the event of oversubscription, you must confirm that your workload won't suffer degradation performance if the CPU use increases.  You really need to understand the workload and usage patterns.

• Network for NFS

  Hello

  I have infrastructure as follows;

  2 welcome each containing 6 1Gig speed NIC each.

  A NAS storage with 4 NIC

  Two L2 Switches (managed HP).

  Planning to run it by the best recommendations and requirements, so that there should not be a SPOF any level.

  So keeping this in mind, we have designed to use ports on each server as follows:

  2 for the NFS storage, 2 for Production management and 2 others for vMotion on each server.

  A cable from each port configured for respective roles goes uplink switch1 and switch2, so if a switch goes down we still have the other switch support.

  Separated VLAN is configured by the switch to different types of traffic.

  My question as below;

  Should I team two ports on each vSS.If so that what should be the parameters for NETWORK adapters for the production, storage, and vMotion network grouping (keeping in mind cables going to switch uplink separated).

  Should I keep adapter in active-standby or active-active mode.

  I didn't think any specific settings to link pass that one cable by a single port is to go there and I don't have the choice of the channel of the ether or LACP.

  In addition, vmware license is essential and having therefore no possibility to use dynamic switches.

  Consider using 5.5.0.

  Also do you propose to use frames as well in the present.

  Kind regards

  Sushil

  Hello

  I suggest always you put management and vMotion on the same set of natachasery management and workloads. It makes no difference where they are subnet a perspective.  I also suggest to read the following:

  • The great debate VSwitch (old writings but still VERY there, let not the age fool you on this one)
  • VMware Virtual networking concepts
  • Networking for administrators of virtualization

  Who should you get.

  natachasery have no IP address in a vSphere environment, they act as a link between a physical and virtual switch. According to the way which you the trunk your VLAN Trunk ends pSwitch (external switch tagging) or the virtual switch (switch virtual tagging). Most people master their VLAN to the virtual switch.

  You want something like the following:

  pSwitch <->pNIC0 <->[ <->Portgroup vSwitch0] <->management (subnet1)

  pSwitch <->pNIC1 <->[ <->Portgroup vSwitch0] <->vMotion (subnet2)

  When switching between pNIC0 and pNIC1 management and vMotion end up on the same bear but when normally run that they remain separated. It is the recommended method. In this case you would master the VLAN to the vSwitch. I know some people who just do not use VLANs, but who use only separate subnets and it works as well.

  pSwitch <->pNIC2/pNIC3 <-> <->Portgroup vSwitch1 (s) <->of workloads (subnet1)

  If you use VLANs (except for vMotion) you're trunking to vSwitch1 (virtual switch tagging). If subnet1 is on the same vSwitch and the trunk is correct via pSwitch ports so he can talk to management on vSwitch0 effortlessly. Switches know how to route traffic to VLAN.

  pSwitch <->pNIC4/pNIC5 <->vSwitch2 <->Portgroup <->NFS (subnet3)

  Here we link pNIC4 and pNIC5 together or use them as a pair of failover for NFS on its own subnet / VLAN itself. This VLAN can end the pSwitch if you wish or terminate once again to the vSwitch.

  In this configuration you have 3 VLAN and 3 subnets (subnets use by VLAN are also recommended)... for example:

  VLAN100-> subnet1-> workload management

  VLAN200->-> vMOtion subnet2

  VLAN300->-> NFS subnet3

  Let the pSwitches any 'movement' of traffic for each VLAN. You need only a routing device if you want TO cross borders VLAN and there is absolutely no need to do it in this configuration.
