vSphere network configuration 5 with 10 cards and two physical HP switches

We will deploy our first vSphere servers 5 with 10 network adapters in each host ESX 4 and I have questions about how to best configure the network.

All the guests have 10 cards 1 GB

My first thought was to build 4 vswitches

vSwitch0:

Networking VLAN10

VM Network VLAN10

physical vmnic0 + vmnic1 in switch1

vmnic6 + vmnic7 to the physical switch2

vswitch1:

DMZ VLAN20

vmnic2 to physical switch1

vmnic8 to the physical switch2

vswitch2:

vMotion

vmnic4 to a dedicated switch vmotion

vswitch3:

Network with NFS for the Veeam VLAN30 backup

vmnic3 to physical switch1

vmnic9 to the physical switch2

Now my questions.

Are there design improvements? What can I do better?

Configuratoin physical switch:

I need to configure an etherchannel between the NIC, vmnic0, 1, 6 7 and change the route based on the IP hash strategy?

Can I put the vswitch0 reserve and with active NIC or should I use the cards in Active state?

If it is better to work with intelligence and active cards change in sleep mode?

Thank you for your help

Hello

I would like to do something like that, see attachment

vMotion and mgmt in a vSwitch with approach active\standby - vLAN trunking should be done on the port of pSwitch

DMZ on two vmnic active/active

VM_LAN - vmnic on 4 all active

Backup - 2 vmincs - active/active

All critical (Mgmt) vMotion, VM_LAN and DMZ networks are redundant (split between 2 quad port adapter) + backup flowing over built-in LAN adapter

No channel of the ether - I have never seen saturated by VM - here traffic network so you have 4 vmnic works perfectly

  • connectivity between 5508 and two different 4507 switches

    Hello

    I've implemented with 5508 controller which is connected to two different chassis (Cisco 4507 switches). I have some doubt about the configuration of the interface on 5508 WLC.

    How can I configure the AP Manager interface with two physical ports on different chassis?

    If I have understood correctly, we can configure the AP manager interface with a single port

    In my introduction, we configured HSRP chassis mentioned...

    Please light up on this confused concept.

    How can I configure interfaces with two physical ports on two different chassis?

    If someone could send examples of configuration, it would be very useful for me to procees with.

    Already there are request to that effect in the cisco forum, but I did not understand correctly.

    Response would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I advise you to go through the doc:

    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.0/configuration/guide/c70mint.html.

    For Cisco 5500 series controllers, you are not required to configure an interface AP manager. The management interface is as an AP-Manager interface by default, and access points can join this interface.

  • Confusion of Network Configuration.

    OK, here's the deal. I have an ESXi host in a data center away from me. He is sitting behind a couple of pretty good/great firewall with a number of IP addresses external, are attributed to him. There are already a few virtual machines on the ESXi host with their own connections to the internet. They are a production environment and cannot be brought if ever that. Which asked me to do, is to emulate and then to transfer our existing to the ESXi host physical network. Our network consists of a server, ISA Server 2006, a couple of DCs, a pair of Exchange servers in a FE / BE deployment and a few Certification authorities. What I would like to know, is how I configure VMs for these machines so that they would work just like their own little network, not interfere with production machines and have all their traffic through the VM ISA of the funnel. Access to the outside world would be implemented virtual machines with their own addressing scheme of dedicated and then subnet/ip to have the external IP address of the VM ISA pointing at them to use the VM ISA as a gateway on the subnet ESXi allowing enough? Horsepower and bandwidth are NOT a problem what so ever with the data center or ESXi host. I was given pretty much free rein during the purchase of the ESXi host and the security of the data center.

    Will be my virtual machines on their own subnet, and using gateways configuration plan be enough?

    Thanks in advance.

    Looks like you want to use VLAN vSwitches or extra.  Either way should work perfectly.  Additional VSwitches require additional physical NIC, which not to be an option.

    Road of VLAN:

    Configuration-> network

    Select the Virtual Machine port group that contains the virtual machine

    Assign a VLAN ID

    Create another Virtual Machine port group and assign a different VLAN ID.

    Add an additional NETWORK card to the ISA server computer and place it in the new Port Group.

    Now the ISA server computer has a NETWORK adapter in each network.

    Use differnet subnets for each VLAN.

    This way both groups of computers can use the same ISA Server and do not interfere with each other.

    Add the VLAN ID to the vSwitch shouldn't affect the virtual machine in the Port Group. But if these VM communicate with anything outside the host without going through ISA, they must be added to this new VLAN one way or another.

    If you have found this or other useful information, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '.

    Hi parkarnoor,

    See the attachment of the section network example of my post here.  It's an old design copper I did some time, but is still topical.  Personally, I mix ports through the NIC cards to create links and use multi-nic vMotion.  As you do use network storage, you can use multiple NICs for your comments link.

  • SD card and sound problems problems

    Hi all

    I bought my Xperia Z2 probably 2-3 months ago and I must say that I love this phone.

    However, I came across a few issues that seem to be, is not so common that I can't find any solution online (this is why I'm here).

    I have 2 numbers:

    Issue 1:

    SD card problem, it's a funny that I was not able to identify what is actually causing this problem. Now it all started (or when I started to become aware of the issue) when I changed some settings in the camera app. I saw that he was recording pictures of "Internal memory" and since precisely, I bought a new SD card to the Xperia Z2, I wanted to save pictures on the SD card instead.

    So I changed storage SD card and everything is fine (at least, that is what I thought).

    After taking a few photos one day, I came home and wanted in preview mode, in the app photos and (Viewer Photo of Sony) Album, it shows that the picture is damaged or missing (in function that I use either the app). This really annoyed me the photos I took seems to be all lost or corrupt. So I tried to use a file (including file Commander) Explorer to find the file and open it, but it seems to have the same problem. I get the gray background with a picture of a mountain with like a bolt of lightning (sign of broken).

    As a result, I also tried to copy some video files on the SD card and it has been giving me problems too. I tried to copy videos on the SD card in 2 ways, first way is to remove the SD card, connect it to a SD card reader and plug that into the computer. After he finished copy on the SD card, the files would disappear just (I use computers a lot and it's very surprising and new for me... It's like the SD card has deleted the files right after that it has been copied, or maybe even 'hidden' files).

    So since this method did not work, I thought that I try to put the SD card in the phone and connect the phone to the computer then MediaGO from Sony (computer App) allows you to transfer videos and it worked sort of that time. I copied 14 videos on and only the first 2 videos work, the others are all "media is missing" or of some sort. I checked the format of the video and they are all either .avi or .mp4 which I think is a problem because the first 2 videos are in .avi so surely other .avi videos would work too? Don't think...

    Thus, it seems that I'm having trouble with the video and Photos on the SD card as music works fine 100%. Used Media GO to copy music on and it all works great.

    Some of you might suggest to format the SD card, I will say that I have... I tried the methods above before formatting AND after shape (formatting using Xperia Z2, or should I say 'clear').

    The SD card I have is 64 GB Sandisk Ultra (I bought this to anticipate the 4K or records video at 1080 p).

    If the issue here is compatibility with SD cards and I was stupid enough to not have seen that before, then I would be happy to admit that it is my fault and be happy that the solution would simply mean buying another SD card.

    But that said, I highly doubt that would be the problem due to the fact that the SD card is made for performance (not the best performance that the Extreme and Extreme Pro range are much better) and the card is new.

    2nd question:

    Now, this question is not as bad as the first question, is something to do with the sound. I understand that the phone has 3 sound controls, one for the ringtone for when you get a notification or / and phone call, one for the media and an alarm.

    What I do is I have ringer volume, around 50% and media will be dependent as I change when I open an application, but the problem I have had is:

    If I open an application (mainly from the games that has sound/music) and I change the media volume to say 70% or even 20%, whenever I get a notification, while the volume of application notification seems to be 100%, no matter what I do with the media volume. It's weird my volume of ringtone or the default Notification is sitting very low, around 50% or even if I change to 20%.

    What I'm missing here? Any thoughts?

    With 2 questions, last resort would be to factory reset my phone but will be willing to do if there is a good chance of the show is fixed.

    Your thoughts will be greatly received as right now I'm just confused and don't know what to do with the questions. Slowly, I get the feeling that I should just give up on the phone and use it for phone calls, music and forget the whole photograph taking which is very sad I like photo/video of the phone features.

    Sorry to hear you're still having problems with a new SD card

    You bought these cards a dealer known and reputable? It sounds a bit like false SD cards for me. The software I mentioned earlier will be able to demonstrate if an SD card is wrong or broken.

    If you think the phone is harmful somehow maps I recommend you to contact a service point for the phone checked. For more information on how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

  • How can I get PremierePro CS6 to speak with Blackmagic card for an HDMI output?

    I recently upgraded my CS5 MacPro to CS6.  I mainly work with Premiere Pro, but also with PhotoShop and its stand.  Previously, my HDMI monitor worked with CS5, but CS6 playback settings had Adobe Player by default as an option and it would not show the Blackmagic card optional.  I have improved my Blackmagic Software to the latest version (9.7), but that no longer works.  After the upgrade of the Blackmagic HDMI signal in the version PremierePro CS5 (still installed and running) has stopped working. Subsequently, the MacOS has been also improved 10.7.5 to 10.8.3 but no change in the result.  I checked all the mechanical linkages.

    My features of the platform are:

    MacPro (early 2009)

    10.8.3 OS

    Processor: 2x2.66 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon

    Memory: 12 BG, DDR3 1066 MHz

    Dual screen Apple display

    Blackmagic (9.7) output settings: all videos, Audio analogue 4 & 2AES/EBU (NTSC)

    My question is how do PremierePro to speak with the map Blackmagic?

    Phil

    Hi Phil,

    Blackmagic what card have you?

    There is a known bug with intensity cards and Blackmagic 9.7 driver where it does not export the HD, only SD this should be resolved soon.

    In the meantime, if you have a map of intensity you can go back to the desktop version 9.6.8.

  • VSPHERE 5.5 REBOOT COPYIED VM WITH BAD NETWORK CONFIGURATION

    Hello

    I have 2 host esx with the internal data store.

    I have a 3rd server with vsphere 5.5.

    I am writing a CLI power script to copy the virtual machine from one host to another host.

    It is to make a backup of my vm so the host to crash and restart quickly my vms.

    My script is ok. The copy is ok I see my backup on the second ESX VM.

    But when I start the VM on the ESX backup, the network of my VM configuration is lost.

    I have to reconfigure my network card IP address.

    I create the same virtual switch on my host 2.

    I have the same number of network cards.

    How can I keep my network configuration?

    Thanks for the replies

    This can happen because the MAC address has changed since the virtual machine has been moved from one host to another, and if the host is not managed by vCenter, each use of the hosts a range of particular MAC addresses... and a workaround is try to use static MAC address.

  • Wireless configuration of HP C4780 with new router and Mac (wireless network not found)

    About 10 months ago, I bought a new router. I already had several problems connecting my HP C4780 to my old router, and after setting up the new router, I was totally unable to connect the printer wireless to my router.

    I have reset the system to the printer on my Mac, I have reset the settings on my printer wireless, I downloaded the latest HP software, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software several times and I have had no success. When running through the Setup Wizard, I was able to select the printer and method (wireless network set up by USB) before plugging the USB key. After that, the Setup Wizard says "Device not connected" (DUH!) and the screen select network said simply "no discovery goes Wi - Fi network." I ran the print to the printer from the Network Configuration, and he identified 15 networks (mine included). So, it seems that the Wi - Fi receiver on the printer still works...

    Any suggestions?

    P.S. This printer has been nothing trouble since I got it, and I wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE (I like actually...).

    After attempting to run the installer on my boot camp Windows 7 Ultimate version, I fell at last on an obscure statement in the configuration of the PC software for the c4780. It says to connect the computer to the router using the router WPS button.

    I have reset the configuration on the printer and turned off wireless the wireless, then I pushed the the router WPS button until the blue WiFi light on the c4780 lit. THIS SEEMED to BE THE KEY STEPS to CONNECT THE c4780 to MY ROUTER.

    After that, the configuration and setting up the printer on my Mac using the system of preferences was a piece of cake. Functions of the printer and the scanner work with Mac drivers.

    Problem solved... For now... This printer is so buggy, I have no doubt I'll have similar problems in the future.
