Windows 2008 VM and NIC teaming with ether channel

Hello

I installed ESXi on an IBM ThinkServer TD100x and that you have created two VM, Windows 2003 Std (32 bit) and Windows Server 2008.

Both were works well on the network and the ping requests until I have configure Cisco Channel ether using the road based on the source mac hash. The Windows 2003 VM worked very well and was still on the network, but the Windows 2008 VM loses network connectivity, couldn't out ping.

Are there known issues with Windows 2008 and grouping of NETWORK cards?

You will need to use the hash of the IP with Etherchannel (manual), LACP (static) or 802.3ad (static) trunking.

Kind regards

  • Ping issues - Windows 2008 R2 and Hyper v2008

    Hello

    I'm looking for a few windows networking procedure of experts here to solve these 2 problems.

    I'm very good in Linux but not in windows, networks than some basics on windows of course.

    I installed Windows 2008 R2 and Hyper-v 2008 on two machines different level of "WORKING group" because I'm small laboratory

    I done the settting up the ip addresses static, of the hostname (s) on those computers.

    Windows 2008 R2 => 192.168.1.60 - obiee

    Hyper-v 2008 => 192.168.1.61 - hyperv2008

    I have DNS running on 192.168.1.10 server and my linux local dns host: narayana.local

    I can ping linux boxes ping, ping hyperv2008 obiee hostnames - works perfectly

    I have a few problems in the windows operating system

    (1) i cannot set my computer full qualified domain name say obiee.narayana.local, hyperv2008.narayana.local - it can be a low priority

    (2) i don't can't ping using host names of these 2 machines - priority issue, I get a message

    C:\Users\Administrators > ping hyperv2008

    Ping request could not find the hyperv2008 of the host. Please check the name and try again

    = I can ping IP_address - works perfectly =

    (3) in view of these questions I can't control my hyper-v to obiee machine.

  • UCS C200 and NIC Teaming/FailOver

    As UCS C200 with management of a 10/100 and 10/100/two interface 1000 interfaces and PCIe with 4NIC

    I want to install CUCM 8.5 is the NIC Teaming/failover supported by UCS C200 and how to set up the NIC Managment interface with failover?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    As you install apps from the CPU on the server of the UCS, speech application team listed their recommendations here.

    http://docwiki.Cisco.com/wiki/QoS_Design_Considerations_for_Virtual_UC_with_UCS#Guidelines_for_Physical_LAN_Links.2C_Trunking_and_Traffic_Sizing

    You can create a NIC teaming in the ESXi via vSphere client software for traffic from from / destined for virtual machines.

    For C200, we have only one management port and if you use the management for MMIC traffic port, switch option is not available.

    However, if you choose to use host for MMIC traffic NETWORK ports, you can set up CIMC NIC mode for 'LOM shared' which provides the NIC teaming options.

  • NIC teaming with the IP hash load balancing

    Hi guys

    I have a virtual machine with a VMXNET3 10 Gbps. It is usually have a heavy traffic with a special server and saturate one of my two physical NIC of 1 Gbps in its PortGroup. I want to know what's going to happen if I turn on "NIC Teaming for this portgroup with basic IP hash load balancing". In my case the source IP address and destination are not change so the aggregates of traffic between my two physical network adapters?

    To avoid saturating completely the two 1GbE NIC, it can also be useful to look in charge based on the grouping and the NIOC. It will ensure that the other streams of traffic VM are not crushed by this machine a virtual when it saturates a network card. The disadvantage is that it requires Enterprise Plus licenses (using a dvSwitch).

  • Override the port NIC teaming with powercli group?

    Hi all

    Any chance you could lend a hand?

    I have a powercli script that goes out to all of my ESX 4.0 host and add a new port group to vswitch1 with a new VLAN ID. That works well, but I also need to override the NIC teaming on this port group, to set an active NIC and the other to be the backup. (we put NIC failover port groups not the vswitches).

    I see ways to change NIC vswitches grouping settings, but am yet to find a way to change the settings of the NIC collection for groups of ports themselves with powercli?

    Can someone shine a light?

    Thank you

    Try something like:

    Get-VirtualPortGroup-name '' | Get-NicTeamingPolicy | Game-NicTeamingPolicy - MakeNicActive "vmnic1" - MakeNicStandby "vmnic0".

    I hope this helps!

    they did this with my permission from me. uninstalled windows 8.0 and windows 7.0 installed.  Date of this happened to 29-12-14. picked upwards took home. was mad when geek agent told me that they rmoved windows 8.0 and 7.0.i downloaded have a pc hp 1534. It did not come with 7.0. this sense then my computer never has good race, very well only poorly.i had their output 10 times to solve all its problems as well not reverseing he thew action performed with 7.0 to 8.0, then by installing windows upgrad Windows 10.0.  so my computer has 7.0,8.1,and 10.0. can someone out there tell me how to reverse this problem help 7,0 8,0 action please.

    Confirm that you still have the product key Windows 8 or 8.1 embedded by installation and execution of ProduKey then look for the key BIOS OEM Windows 8/8.1, which is how it should be recognized if still on the chip.

    If so, you are good at 8.1 of Windows Installer Clean after step 4 Special workaround to install Windows 8.1 with a key of 8 window.

    However, in the same time, you can get the best of the best OS installation by making a Clean 10 of Windows Installer and activate with the digital entitlement already assigned if you upgraded in - place and active or directly by using the product key of WIndows 8 to activate after installing.

  • How can I share files between Windows 7 Pro and a Mac with os x?

    I have Windows 7 Professional and my colleague had a Mac with os x installed. We are physically in the same room, sharing a wifi connection. How to share files between two computers? That each of them should do on his computer?

    If you display links, please check beforehand that the procedure for the mac is here. I found in the internet or other of the procedures for older systems Win or network only between Win 7 PCs.

    MOSH

    Of course, you can do it easily. In fact, the implementation of sharing on Win7 last month was almost as easy as it is on OS X.  ;-) I find that the snow leopard has the same bugginess of show Windows machines only randomly in the sharing of the Finder section, as it did in Leopard, however. I usually connect to Windows machines by opening a window of Finder and using go > connect to server > smb://Windows-computer-name instead. In the Win7 box, I have the network to the desktop icon (you can get this to customize > change icon).

    On OS X, make sure you have checked in the file sharing system preferences > sharing. Click the Options button, and then select "share files and folders using SMB." Add the shared directories as you wish.

    You must create accounts/passwords user on the Mac and Windows 7. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop in Win7 (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this.

    Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    You can find options to logon automatically for OS X in system preferences > accounts.

    On Win7, go to control panel > all items in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You do not want to use Homegroup.

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    Configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, Configuration File and Printer Sharing ON will take care of that for these machines, and if you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    OS X Firewall is done in System Preferences > Security. Click the lock to make changes, and then click the Advanced button to ensure that SMB sharing is allowed. If you set up in the share pod, it will be.

    On Win7, create shares as desired. I usually just share the Public, users desktop folder and all hard drives of additional data in the system. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • NIC teaming + with leaves HP VirtualConnect and Cisco load balancing

    Hello

    I configure ESX infrastructure running on the blades HP (c7000 enclosure), VirtualConnect and Cisco 3750 switches for the uplink. My network configuration is based on the HP VirtualConnnect Cookbook, scenario 11.

    On the ESX Server, I configured a vSwitch with two NICs grouped. Each card can see a different network of VirtualConnect. Each VC network has active SmartLink.

    Each network of VirtualConnect is associated with two ports on a Bay of VC. These two ports are the uplinks in Cisco 3750 switches. Cisco switches are configured in a pile, and each port associated with the VC network is configured with LACP.

    Here are the facts:

    -Each network (Host A and host B) is properly configured for the LACP Protocol, in other words, the links are shown as active/active in the VC Manager.

    -Communication of ESX is good.

    -Failover and failback function OK.

    The problem: I can't get the load balancer to work. All virtual machines use a single bear. I tried different algorithms on the server ESX (source port ID, mac, IP hash hash) and the configuration of the equivalent from Cisco.

    I have attached a diagram of the physical network, but also the setting to ports.

    What Miss me? Thank you very much

    Pablo

    Because you want to create technically not a channel in an ESX perspective, you do want to use the hash of the IP.  If ESX attempts to send traffic through the two network cards, the cisco switch should drop this package as part of its loop avoidance algorithms.  You should be able to check that out in the switch port statistics.  You should not use the switch port ID.

    Not sure about the promiscuous mode.  Who do not have any account, as far as load balancing is concerned, unless the portgroup was not properly inherit the vSwitch properties?

  • Model Windows 2008 R2, we need Sysprep with vCenter

    Dear all,

    In order to have a virtual computer for Win 2008 R2 model, I created a standard configuration. VM and then he converted model. Now when you deploy a new machine it, I use a customization of response file I also created myself. I'm able to get a new virtual machine, but I'm still not clear if running a sysprep installation is necessary in this case OR not, as if it was the case with Win 2003, sysprep files must be added to add to the vCenter server to change the SID.

    Please help, there is much talk when I searched but I did find something compelling, some people mention after creation required standard VM and before conversion to the model manually RUNS sysprep and select "shutdown" choice, some saying Win 2008 R2, this step is not necessary, and if you use the Customization Wizard, the resulting machine will be its change of SID.

    For example, while I read this link:

    http://www.vmadmin.co.UK/resources/36-VirtualCenter/114-sysprepdeploytemplate

    It is said customization choices will be grayed out if files not found sysprep on the vCenter server, but this isn't the case with me, because I use to third choice 'customize existing and customization using specification', this link ultimately said also as 'Note: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 use a new imaging method that requires no sysprep on the vCenter Server files.'

    Waiting for response.

    Thank you

    Yes, this is the expected result when you use a customization specification - and there is a check mark in the Generate new SID.

    When you use the VMware vCenter specifications of customization for Windows machines, it uses sysprep. This is why you must manually run sysprep inside the virtual machine.

    It is essentially run sysprep.exe/generalize.

  • Access user (UAC) shield appears on a large number of my programs now after Windows Update download and cause problems with some programs, no one knows how to fix this? (Windows 7) (Windows Update post a coupe of weeks)

    Hello

    Windows Update recently made a lot of downloads on my computer about two weeks ago (I run it automatically and it works usually weekly) and he has made some changes to my system that create errors or difficulties with certain programs. The shield of the UAC is now appearing on many more programs for some reason any and now I'm a guest whenever a program is available. which is also appear on my AntiVirus program. Action Center flag appears almost every day now with warnings saying that my AntiVirus program and spyware is off (not sure if this is related to the UAC shield), but when I check my AntiVirus program everything works and after access; the flag of the Action Center shows while all right. Nobody knows how to solve this problem and get rid of the ecu of the UAC on programs (or at least some of them I want to be invited on)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    I'm sure I've upgraded to Vista SP2, but not absolute, I can't find a lot of information in the case of the newspapers with the service pack level... only vista combined with some process is perceptible. I bought July ' 09 new and it came pre-installed with Vista on it. I think this is the tool I used to remove McAfee on this; It also came with Norton as an alternative option and both have been removed using their tools to uninstall BitDefender installation instructions walked me through the location and the removal of two of them before installing BitDefender on the computer. My user account is configured as an administrator, but when I right click on programs with the shield of the UAC on them, I'm not running as an administrator. The UAC slider is set at the 2nd ranked (by default); but I do not know how it was listed previous, I wondered about moving down one notch (but he advises not and I don't want to spoil anything).

  • What is the Windows Security Center and is compatible with Avast antivirus Protection?

    I installed a paid for version of Avast on my Windows XP computer. (I won't be upgrading to a more modern version of Windows.)

    I also called Windows Security Center.

    Is the Windows Security Center virus protection, or is it simply a place to control and discover whatever you have antivirus protection?

    If it is a virus protection, it would hurt Avast and if so can I uninstall it?

    If I removed Avast and didn't have Windows Security Center, I should any type of protection against viruses on my computer?

    The only type of protection against viruses in addition to Avast, I am sure that I have on my computer is Windows Firewall. I turned that off and am now strictly protected by the firewall of Avast. Windows Security Center notifies me of cannot have two firewalls upwards at the same time.

    If Windows Security Center antivirus protection it would do no harm to leave it on if the firewall is disabled and Avast is installed? Part of Windows Firewall Security Center Windows or another program?

    Guesses are welcome. Thank you.

    Hey there Clinton!

    I've identified two questions here, your normal text questions and my answers in bold:

    Is the Windows Security Center virus protection, or is it simply a place to control and discover whatever you have antivirus protection?

    Windows Security Center is not a virus protection it's just simply a place to control and view the status of the installation of malware * protection software, but also the firewall on your computer.

    Part of Windows Firewall Security Center Windows or another program?

    Windows Firewall is a separate component.

    Does Avast! Damaged, if I have another antivirus running program?

    It is not clear what might happen, but software may conflict with each other and may not work as expected.

    I hope that I have answered all your questions!
