• Error HTTP 500 HOL - vSphere Distributed Switch from A to Z-

  It seems that there are problems with the "vSphere Distributed Switch from A to Z" HOL.  I get the following error message when you try to access the laboratory (see screen capture below).  Other labs are working fine for me.  I tried to access this laboratory of 5 different computers with the same results.

  There was a communication error with the server. Try again in: 26

  Message: HTTP 500 Code

  

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Try the testdrive tenant.

  He seemed to do a pod stuck in the queue of our deployment for the testdrive tenant. That may have caused this problem.

• vSphere Distributed Switch 5.5 traffic filtering and tagging

  Someone had a chance to create a script to update the traffic filtering and marking of area of a group of ports on a vSphere 5.5 Distributed Switch? The settings are only exposed in the web client for Onyx is not an option.

  I need to create a rule with the values below.

  Traffic Filterig and marking:

  Set State enabled

  New rule of network traffic

  Name: name of the traffic rule

  Action: Tag

  CoS value: tag value Update CoS: 4

  Qualifiers of traffic:

  Traffic management: evacuation

• HOL-SDC-1402: Vsphere Distributed Switch from A to Z - ControlCenter VM did not get an IP address

  Something is wrong with this laboratory.  The controlcenter VM never gets an ip address, so that you never get to vCenter to do anything.  I used this lab a couple of times in the course of the last few weeks but just noticed this problem tonight.  I restarted the VM controlcenter with no luck.  He seems to think that it is disconnected from everything.

  All opinions are appreciated.

  

  Well, I finished the laboratory and registered again.  This seems to have solved the problem.  Sorry for the post before trying this one.

• vSphere update your distributed switch 5.1 to 5.5

  Hi after that the upgrade to vsphere vsphere 5.5 5.1 and using vsphere distribution swtich to VDS needs to upgrade to 5.5 see a screenshot in attachment.

  The VDS 5.5 upgrade will cause failures or packet drops?

  The upgrade of virtual distributed switch won't cause any downtime. It is a non-distrayant operation, you should not see any package drop.

• 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.

• VSphere of VMware vNetwork Distributed Switch

  I'm a bit confused on VMware vNetwork Distributed Switch and Nexus1000. I'm in 4.1

  my understanding is that Nexus 1000 is an improved version of the vDS and they have different licenses.

  vDS is available in the enterprise and Nexus is available only in Enterprise Plus. Am I wrong?

  The licensing model was different in 4.0?

  NO.

• How to remove ESXi host of Distributed Switch

  3 Cluster DRS - 1 x physical, 2 nested nodes in a LAB environment

  I need to downgrade a 6.0 U2 ESXi host and replace it (from ESXi nested in Physics). I am trying to remove the host from a distributed switch, but it seems that I can't do that until I remove it from the Distributed Switch. I can't remove the VMkernel group management ports that prevents me to remove the host from the Distributed Switch. Any suggestions? I guess that I need that migrate to a Standard switch first?

  I am connected to the ESXi host through vSphere Client, migrated the group management to a Standard switch ports, then I was able to clear the host of the distributed switch. I could then remove the host from the Cluster.

• Distributed switch

  Assuming that the new host that is added to the existing cluster is the same server, I have a question:

  If the cluster is using distributed switch, how to set up the new host to use the existing configuration of distributed switch?

  Once the host and the network/uplinks are correctly configured, simply follow steps shon in Add hosts in a Distributed Switch vSphere

• 'upgrade' control of Distributed Switch for network IO / LACP improvements via PowerCLI?

  vSphere 6.0.  PowerCLI 6.0 R1.

  
  

  After using the New-VDSwitch PowerCLI command, I noticed that the Web Client vSphere shows there are "updates available" to the distributed switch resulting.

  
  

  I know that I can right-click on the distributed switch and select upgrade in the Web Client.

  
  

  Someone knows how can I perform the upgrade using PowerCLI?

  Here is the code I ended up with yesterday before reading your response... is it ok for you?

  Also, is it OK to use 'ReconfigureDvs' instead of 'ReconfigureDvs_Task '?

  PS how do you get syntax colorization of your code PowerCLI?

• Configure VTEP VXLAN on distributed switch?

  Hello everyone

  I've found this discussion: How to test VXLAN

  But I'm still not sure.

  I environment vSphere 6 with a 3-node cluster and server vCenter (trial mode).

  I would just try the VXLAN by adding a VTEP to a distributed switch.

  For each of the nodes would be a VTEP.

  I really should he use Manager of NSX and NSX controller etc. to achieve this, or is there the possibility to simply add a VTEP to a distributed switch?

  KR & thanks in advance!

  Lukas

  You can use the last Director 5.5.3 vCloud and vCloud network and security 5.5.4, they are compatible and supported for ESXi/vCenter 6.0.

  See VMware product interoperability Matrices or documentation of the respective product for more details.

• 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?

  When you load the script into an editor (PowerShell ISE for example) and can run from there, run the cmdlets vDS?

• vNetwork Distributed Switch

  I am preparing to install vSphere 5.5 and started the design of virtual network. I was counting on the creation of switches distributed when I read that only vSphere Enterprise PLUS supports the vNetwork Distributed Switch. Is this right? I am only able to create Standard switches on each host? Is there a way to export the configuration of a Standard switch that you can with a distributed switch?

  I was counting on the creation of switches distributed when I read that only vSphere Enterprise PLUS supports the vNetwork Distributed Switch. Is this right? --> Yes

  I am only able to create Standard switches on each host?--> if the license is less than Enterprise, then Yes

  Is there a way to export the configuration of a Standard switch that you can with a distributed switch? N ° but there are a lot of scripts PowerCLI available that can help you in mass deploy a Standard switch configuration.

• Switch std to distributed switch migration.

  I have 2 Dell T710 with 6 NIC cards.

  I configured on the 4 standard vSwitches.  Each standard vSwitch is connected to a physical network adapter card.

  I have a vSwitch for manage management, one for vMotion for iSCSI and one for traffic from the virtual machine.

  The reason I set up is to put the vMotion, iSCSI on a different NETWORK card and so another port on the physical port in order to get the maximum flow.

  Now, when I tried to configure a switch to vDistributed.  I was reading this document from vmware (http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere-vnetwork-ds-migration-configuration-wp.pdf) and there seems to be all the VLAN based.  In the vDistributed switch, I create the port group, and then associate the group the dvUplink ports and the dvUplink will map to the physical NETWORK adapter on the host.

  I don't seem to find an option to specify the Group of ports on the dvPortGroup if East of vMotion, management and/or iSCSI traffic.

  I'm missing something.

  Can someone tell me some good practices of switch vDistributed?

  Thanks for the information and have a good year.

  Anthony.

  You will need to go to the host tab configuration, management network, distributed switch - then "virtual cards" - the Vmkernel ports for the distributed switches.

• 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:

  

  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.

  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.

  Kind regards
  Arun
