• Cisco, Vmware and Netapp on Netapp Flexpod document?

  Hello

  I was told during a presentation of a few months before there is a 300-page document detailing how to set up a Netapp Flexpod solution. I've looked everywhere for this document. I found a lot, for example Cisco's UCS, but not a huge detailed Deployment Guide. Can someone provide me with a link to this document, please?

• VMware switch Vlan configuration

  It is possible to switch the configuration that resembles a vmware

  interface GigabitEthernet0/4

  Description calculate node 1 eth1

  switchport trunk vlan 100 native

  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

  switchport trunk allowed vlan 100, 101 102

  switchport mode trunk

  spanning tree portfast trunk

  on the gigabitEthernet 0/4, I have a linux machine that needs these config.

  Thank you!

  Ah, very good. Sorry for my confusion!

  Yes, you can do it.

  interface GigabitEthernet0/4

  Understand and document how the switchport is connected to your ESXi host.  When you start, your ESXi host lists its physical network cards, called vmnic.  Enable CDP on your vSwitches (or LLDP if you use a vDS) so that you know how your ESXi host connects to the North.

  Description calculate node 1 eth1

  You cannot configure the descriptions on vSwitches Standard (you * can * configure them on a vDS). You can also, of course, port name groups however you like, with a few caveats.

  switchport trunk vlan 100 native

  The virtual switches VMware isn't exactly the notion of VLAN native.  If you want to leave the untagged packets ESXi host, you don't assign just one VLAN to that particular port group.

  
  

  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

  VMware only use 802. 1 q of marking.  There is no need to explicitly configure.  In addition, you can't.

  
  

  switchport trunk allowed vlan 100, 101 102

  Create a VLAN that you like on the ESXi hosts using the parameters of port group VLAN.  Don't forget not to set up a local VIRTUAL network for the port group that hosts the VLAN native.

  
  

  switchport mode trunk

  ESXi hosts accept several VLANs on a vmnic out of the box.  There is no need to configure.

  
  

  spanning tree portfast trunk

  This option isn't strictly for switching equipment, end-hosts as ESXi.  Your ports ESXi NIC will come as soon as possible.

• Instant snapshot of VMWare and SAN

  How the instant different(or similar) snapshots SAN VMWare?

  Thank you

  The case of use as well as the method of snapshots is very different.

  As NuggetGTR says table instant base will take a snapshot of the entire lun/volume, but instant VM are just for each individual VM.

  How snapshots are created are very different and this determines the use case. EG Netapp table according to snapshots are very effective and take very little space, because (simplifying here) they mark all blocks in the volume in read-only - so you have an overview of the entire volume and because it is not copying all the data it is very fast and not take place.  As new data are written/modified/deleted it says new blocks and blocks alone reading in the snapshot are not deleted or modified.  This makes it very effective and good for backups long term.  However, as this is an array based snapshot is done at the block level and Netapp doent know what data are, could be a SQL database or the virtual machine.  honing to get application-consistent backups, to a plugin abreast of the API as Snapmanager for SQL or VSC for VMware.

  VMware based snapshots of a virtual machine are created by sleep (possibly) the guest operating system and then marking the. VMDK a new read-only. VMDK is created for the virtual machine that will handle the reads/writes new data and the original. VMDK will manage the readings for the old data.  This process is repeated for each snapshot that is taken.

  More the string of snapshots (and. VMDK) files the most impact on the performance of the virtual machine.  Also when you delete a snapshot must merge the. Files VMDK back together which can take a long time and have a performance hit of old clichés.  They will be also eats more space!

  These are intended to serve as a term 'safety nets' shot so that you can quickly return as any change - not as a long-term backup solution.

  They are a great tool to use in conjunction with array-based snapshots.  Using Netapp for example, you can install the VSC in vcenter and use it to plan the snapshots table in conjunction with the snapshots of VMware.

  This will fix a nice snapshot of each virtual machine with a consistent state Vmware hard, then the snapshot of the table will be instant volume/LUN with all these beautiful .vmdks suspended/static, then it will remove snapshots of Vmware.

  Some best practices:

  • The snapshots are not backup. A snapshot file is only a log of changes to the original virtual disk. Therefore, do not count on it as a direct backup process. The virtual machine is running on the most current snapshot, not the original disk vmdk files.
  • Snapshots are not complete copies of the original disk vmdk files. The take a snapshot does not create a complete copy of the original disk vmdk file, rather it copies only the delta records. The changelog in the snapshot file is combined with the original files from disk to be part of the current state of the virtual machine. If basic disks are removed, the snapshot files are useless.
  • Delta files can reach the same size as the original file of the basic disk that's why storage provisioned to a virtual machine grows an amount up to the original size of the virtual machine, multiplied by the number of snapshots on the virtual machine.
  • The maximum supported snapshots in a string is 32. However, VMware recommends you to use only 2-3 shots in a string.
  • Do not use any single snapshot for more than 24 to 72 hours. Snapshots should not be maintained for long periods of time for application or Virtual Machine version control purposes.
  • • This prevents snapshots to grow so large to cause problems when deleting / engaging them to the original virtual machine disks. Take the shot, make the changes to the virtual machine and delete / commit snapshot as soon as you have verified the condition of operation of the virtual machine.
    • Be especially diligent with use of the snapshot on the virtual machines, high-transaction, such as e-mail and database servers. These clichés can develop very quickly in size, filling data store space. Commit snapshots on these virtual machines as soon as you have verified the State of work appropriate to the process that you are testing.
  • If using a third party product that takes advantage of snapshots (such as backup of virtual machine software), regularly monitor systems configured for backups to ensure that no snapshots remain active for long periods of time.
    • Snapshots must be present for the duration of the backup process.
    • Photos taken by software of third party (called via API) may not appear in the Snapshot Manager vCenter. Check regularly for snapshots via the command line.

  Here is a good article on vmware snapshots:

• Show VLAN configured on the specific Service profile

  Hello

  I've been trying to figure out how I can check what VLAN, I assigned to each profile service through CLI. I have no trouble with that view through the GUI, but there are so many clicks to check each server (10) with its NETWORK (2) cards.

  Anyone know how this is possible?

  And Yes, I have configured vNIC air with the VLANs mapped to them for the last two blades but I've not had the chance to change this settings on my first 10 profiles =).

  2.0(1t) running

  Thank you!

  Martin

  Martin,

  Hope that this helps out you

  See the configuration | egrep-i ' enter vnic. Service-pr | ETH - if '

  This shows that the VLANS configured explicitly for each vNIC under a service profile. I have not tested with the service with vNIC political profile.

  Alternatively, if you are interested in service under an organization profiles

  scope org.

• Is it possible to do full screen Windows Media Center (native) on a monitor while being able to use the other monitors in a multi-screen configuration?

  Personally, I have a dual monitor situation, and sometimes I would watch television on an all always doing work on the other. If I maximize the Media Center window it will display full-screen on one monitor but it disables all features on the other. The only way for everyone is stretching as it can on the monitor/display without infringing the workspace of the other monitor, but it is ineffective because it does not display the full screen to a native resolution.

  If there is not a current solution for this, then it must be addressed by the engineers of Windows like watch TV on the computer, and multi-monitor configurations are becoming increasingly important in the houses.
  I appreciate the help. Thank you!
  Another Windows user

  After you start your support, press alt + tab to exit the Media Center window. Media Center will stay full screen play the media, and you can use the main screen as usual.

  This works better if Media Center is on the second screen without the taskbar.

• The DVUplinks VLAN configuration

  Greetings,

  
  I have ports of junction that are defined on VLAN 40 and 44. When I create the DSwitch1, defined DVUplinks VLAN Trunking policy settings and a range of VLAN Trunk 0-4094. When I try to change the goto settings > policies > VLAN (VLAN Trunking is defined and is grayed out.)

  Such VLAN configuration knowing the physical port comes are on trunks is VLANS?

  It's normal, you don't need to worry about the uplinks. It simply means that uplinks can receive a form of frameworks each VLAN. But what really counts is how to configure the real port groups, and how you join vNIC to it. Without an appropriate port group and a corresponding Active vNIC attached to it, some management VLANS will not be transmitted anywhere.

• New to VMware and considering the training & Certification

  Hello

  I have worked on various projects and IT admin job for more than 14 years in Windows and NetWare environments, but have no experience with any type of virtualization.

  I want to acquire sufficient experience for coherent conversation VMware and vSphere in an interview, and to pass the exam, and I think I might prefer the speed and convenience of the Live-Online course.

  Basically, I have 2 questions:

  1. for someone like me, is at - it a real advantage to take VMware vSphere: crash course, or will install, configure and manage of course give me what I'm looking for?

  2 are there opinions on the benefits of class vs Live-course online?

  Any opinions at all would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Chris

  Welcome to the Forums-

  1. I recommend the installation and configuration - it will give you the necessary information to develop a good base in VMware and start preparing to take and pass the exam VCP - there's a number fo son in this forum about what you should do to prepare for the exam of the secure Channel.

  2. The line is good and the same class that is provided in the class but I think the interaction with the instructor and with other students is extremely beneficial.

  Good luck

• Data store space used not maching between VMWare and 3PAR

  Hello world

  I have a strange behavior between our environment VMWare and 3PAR storage system.

  I checked each data store of our cluster and for each of them, the space used in vSphere Client does not match the size of the user 'used' their volume associated with 3PAR.  The value displayed in VMware is higher.

  For example, our data store named DS03 has space around 1 TB in VMWare.  And when I checked in the Console of 3PAR, I see that the volume created for this data store has a size of the user 'used' 722 GB.

  While doing some research, I came across this post: ability to store data about the free space is not the same thing in VMware and 3PAR

  But the problem I encounter is quiet different. It's the opposite. I do not understand why the displayed value is higher in VMWare...  We are also running vSphere Server version 5.1.0

  Any advice? Ideas?

  Thank you very much.

  It's the ASIC 3PAR inline zero detection function stripping zeros of incoming data until they land on the disc. Www.3parug.com try this happens a lot.

• VMWare and Certification Payment Options training

  Hello world

  I just wanted to ask if anyone else here has experienced being refused the payment online through store.vmware.com by the center of training at the local level?

  I was intending to be VMware troubleshooting or optimizing VMware and scale. But I have been informed by all the training centres that they accept only cash or cash ON delivery.

  I find it weird because they are all available for online payment. In fact, I can go all the way up to where after signing up, I can do just a few more clicks and I should be able to pay by credit card.

  The payment method is the prerogative of the center of training or testing? Where I can I hope to have clarification? Thanks in advance for your contributions.

  

  Based on the screenshot, you take the training in the Philippines. As far as I know this means that it will be a class VATC-delivered. If this is the case, then yes it is art about what payment options they offer.

  Cash would be a very unusual way for people to pay for training certainly in the places I know.

  Most common options are the credit card, purchase order and invoice (credit) or VMware PSO Credits.

• I'm new to VMware and need help.

  I'm new to VMWare and barely installed ESXi 6.0 created a host but now I can not install Windows 2012 r2. Cannot access the ISO. Do I need the plugin integration customer or what. I called tech support and they would not help because I am on trial. Any help would be great. Thank you

  You select the ISO in the settings of the virtual machine and select 'connect at Power On "? Alternatively, you can connect the ISO in the current state (power on) and then press CTRL-ALT-INS to 'hot' start the virtual machine.

  André

  PS: If it still does not work, check that you have a bootable ISO image, for example not only a picture of Service Pack.
