• Add Virtual Machine Port Group vSwitch (network and Vlan ID tag) by Script

  Hello

  I want to add a port group of VM for about 200 guests vSwitch. This can be done manually, but if anyone can help me to do it with the help of Powercli. We have guests organized on the basis of clusters.

  Virtual machine port group.

  Tag network:-XYZ

  VLAN ID: XYZ

  Thank you

  Pranab

  You could do something like that

  $clusterName = "cluster"
  $pgName = "test2"
  $vlanId = "1111"
  $vSwName = "vSwitch1"
  
  Get-Cluster -Name $clusterName | Get-VMHost | Get-VirtualSwitch -Name $vSwName | New-VirtualPortGroup -Name $pgName -VLanId $vlanId
  

  It will add the portgroup to the vSwitch on all hosts in the cluster

• The Cisco Nexus 1000V VSM port group settings?

  I could not find the Group of port settings when executing the VSM in a virtual machine covered in the Cisco documentation... they say just 'create 3 groups of port '.   But, the configuration of VLANS to these pages are not clear to me.

  In the configuration of VSM, you set the VLAN on each network (Mgmnt, control, package).   This means that the VM VSM will be production of marked packets, so groups of port must be set as master / virtual tag comments.

  But, if this is the case, why they recommend 3 groups of ports?  You should be able to use a trunk port group and letting the physical switch the VLAN.  Thus, they rather waiting for assignment of VLAN will be on the Port groups?

  The Cisco config docs give much information on the Cisco command line configuration...  Some may give, or point, the settings on the VMware port groups when using MSM in a virtual machine?

  Hello

  VSM virtual machine generates no marked packets but depends on the configuration of the port group VLAN ID Vswitch to label.  It's done as having evacuated the computer host computer on the vmnic associated the Vswitch.

• How is it that I can ping between ESXi vmkernel interfaces with the sizes of package exceeding the value set in my passage upstream and one located in my vmkernel port group itself?

  
  I have a 10 GB dell powerconnect 8024f the switch and the firmware is OLD, but the port config shows maximum frame size = 9000 to all cable ports

  2 guests ESXi 5.5 wired, build 1331820, put each host computer network is managed by a single port dual qlogic 8150 ANC

  When I connect to my windows VM to check my new 10 GB connectivity (it is configured for jumbo mtu = 9000 frames) and ping-l 8190 against ESXi vmkernel interface that was MTU of 1500, I get an answer without any packet loss... How can it be if the port is configured for only 1500 MTU?  I thought that the two vmkernel port group and vswitch properties must have 9000 mtu defined, it appears that the vswitch properties override the port group properties.

  But I know I must be missing something, a few important concepts, somewhere, because when I connect to ESXi via ssh I can ping devices with values greater than 8190 and not just windows virtual machines that reside on the same host where the ping uses the internal bus, but I am referring to the connections of the host of other ESXi on the switch management.

  In summary - how the VMkernel does ping and response to pings of bigger sizes greater than the value of the switch upstream?   and why do ping with large packets get answers when the vmkernel port group is always set at 1500, is this a bug or is this feature obsolete?   I remember specifically in ESXi5 that I had to configure the vmkernel port group and the vswitch for this property to work.

  Unless you specify "Don ' t fragment" (-f for Windows) you will be able to use any size package successfully.

  For ESXi, take a look at Troubleshooting ESXi Jumbo Frames.

• Several physical NIC cards connected to vSwitch / Port Group

  Hello

  I have several physical NETWORK adapter on a host connected to a single vSwitch / port group, does this mean that the speed of the network is shared by all of the physical NIC, or I have to do something special to enable this feature?

  Please see attached .jpg

  Thanks in advance.

  If all of your network adapters is active in the nic teaming configuration, you must have a physical switch that supports the aggregation of links and you must configure it. The ESX itself does not have this kind of work.

  Actually is a bad idea to let all NICs connected without having to configure the nic teaming (1 active and others waiting for failover) or without going through the aggregation of links.

• What is the different NIC Teaming policy between vSwitch properties setting and Port-Group

  Hello

  I know that there r two ways to set NIC Teaming policy: vSwtich or Port Group.  What is the different?

  Who is the highest priority?    Could the port group properties overrides the setting of vSwtich? Or just inherit.

  ARO

  Yes-

• NIC Teaming port group

  Hi, if I have two physical cards on my ESX host and a group of ports on the vSwitch I selects two adapters to be 'Active' (the tab grouping of NETWORK cards), network traffic automatically load balance bewteen the two NETWORK cards? Or will be just to use a NIC and use the other if this switch NIC/phyiscal descendant? Is there something specific that should be set by checking the Load Balancing option?

  Screenshot attached.

  Thank you

  The virtual machine will use a physical connection.   Here is a link to the details.   http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/virtual_networking_concepts.PDF

• Set a vm network distributed port group

  Try to set up the network to a virtual computer to a port group distributed.  There seems to be a quick and easy way to do this - you need a small code snippet that does?

  I was thinking something like this (u_vm is a Vc:VirtualMachine)

  NIC var = new VcVirtualEthernetCardNetworkBackingInfo();

  nic.deviceName = "VGA-myportgroup";

  spec var = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();

  for each (var edge in u_vm.config.hardware.device)

  {

  If (device.deviceInfo.label is "Network adapter 1")

  {

  Spec.Device = device;

  Spec.Operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit;

  Spec.Device.backing = nic;

  }

  }

  u_vm.reconfigVM_Task (spec);

  But as the bombs with this error:

• Question about the migration to a new vswitch NFS port group

  We currently have our group of NFS port on the vSwitch that has all our VLAN and I'd like to bring out a vSwitch isolated dedicated network cards that will handle only NFS communnication.

  I have two network cards additional that I configured on an another vSwitch.  My question is can I remove the port from a vSwitch group and add it to this new and expect it to work?  This unmount and mount the NFS volume for me?  It will be just a quick blip?  What is a larger company?  I ask because I'm trying to figure if I need power off all the virtual machines that are on NFS before moving the port group.

  Is there another method that I should follow to do what I'm doing?

  Thank you

  t

  You'll need plan a failure.  You will need to create a new portgroup vmkernel, since you can't really "moving" a portgroup.  In addition, since you must create a vmkernel portgroup, it cannot be on the same subnet as the existing vmkernel portgroup.  You can have two on the same subnet, no matter how vSwitch' are you have.  Also, I'm not 100% sure the NFS, when you go back, to be assigned a new ID and be recognized as a new data store and force you to re-register your vm.  It's pretty easy to do, but it may be necessary.

• 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).

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

  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)}

• Automate the network port group selection in vsphere replication

  Hi, when you use the vsphere replication tool to recover servers in the data center of DR, the tool does not gives option to select network settings. I have to manually add the port groups and turn on the system remotely vcenter. Is it possible to automate this process, when the replication of a major part of the vms ~ 100-150. I would like to know if there is another way to fix the process and avoid the manual load.

  I use replication of vsphere device version 5.8

  Thank you

  The only way to automate this process is through the Site Recovery Manager.  Automate and orchestrate BC/DR is a big part of the value offered by SRM. The other advantage is the ability to test your recovery plans without disruption of service.

  Does that answer your question?

• Standard vSwitch_Custom VM (Vlan200_VM network) port group does not.

  Hi guys...

  Scnerio:

  ESXi 5.0

  VCenter 5.0

  2 connected local network cards to vswitich 0 Active\Active configuration.

  The virtual computer name: FSAPP_1

  Note: good VLANS are created externally NETWORK

  I created another group of ports VM network VLAN 200_VMnetwork.

  I have attached TWO maps LAN to VM. A LAN card is connected to the port default VM network group and another is connected to network VLAN200_VM.

  A LAN card is connected to the local network (Private IP) and another is connected to the Wan (public IP)... IF I CONNECT the TWO VMNIC "DEFAULT virtual machine network" I am able to ping both subnets.

  
  

  But any vNIC which is connected to the VLAN200_VM network is NOT working...

  
  

  
  

  Please see the attached snapsshots...

  Thank you

  I did not ask you to do what I asked you to test is the separate two VM on the host even be configured to use the VLAN 200 portgroup and verify that these two people are able to talk to each other.

  Once you've found that the books above. Go back to your network team and make the request to configure the switch in the trunk output ports (which does not remove the tag VLAN on the package on the output of the switch) as opposed to be defined as access (that strips the tag VLAN).

  It is my firm belief that the port group does not work because your switch is misconfigured based on my above statement.

• Groups of ports from a vswitch to another

  Is it possible to move a group of ports of, say, vswitch0 vswitch1?

  Or should I create a new port on vswitch1 group and move the virtual machine to the new port group?

  Thank you.

  Is it possible to move a group of ports of, say, vswitch0 vswitch1?

  No, with Distributed Switch , you can create identical PGs in any of your ESX hosts

  Or should I create a new port on vswitch1 group and move the virtual machine to the new port group?

  If you don't have a Distributed Switch, you need to. If you want to VMotion is one of the sine qua non
