1. Several Concepts about active/standby are clarified: FailoverLinkFailoverLink is used to communicate with each other's working status. The information transmitted on Failoverlink includes the current status (active and standby) of the o device) o Power status (available only based on the dedicated failover cable) oHello Information Package (also sent through all other ports) oAct 1. Several Concepts about Master/Slave are clarified:

production network or NFS. A typical setting is a standard virtual machine that is bound to many port groups (VLANs) and then exports to bind multiple physical network cards. The corresponding aggregation link also needs to be configured on the physical switch to which it is connected. However, note that the standard virtual switch does not support LACP.Multipath (MPIO) is at the software level, managed by the VMware PSA Framework to manage load balancing and

In the previous article in this series, we discussed the advantages, disadvantages, and prerequisites of installing VMware esxi on flash. In the following short article, we will learn about the installation process and some content related to the configuration and maintenance of the esxi flash drive. The process of creating a USB Flash boot disk starts from the installation of CD on

After completing the environment preparation for NSX, I came to the configuration of the virtual extensible LAN (VXLAN) section, one of the most important technologies for NSX to achieve the sophomore layer. Vxlan is an open technology standard that allows you to create a logical network for virtual machines of different networks. Can be achieved across Layer 3 Layer 2 network, which is commonly known as the sophomore network;VXLAN The transport network is built by creating a Vxlan dedicated Vmk

VMware VSphere 6.0 was officially released on March 12, 2015 (Thursday). VMware VSphere 6.0 is an industry-leading virtualization platform that enables users to confidently virtualize scale-out and scale-out applications, redefine availability, and simplify virtual datacenters. The result is a highly available, resilient on-demand infrastructure that is the ideal foundation for any cloud computing environment. As a complete set of solutions, we start with the most basic server virtualization pro

Recently in a Windows Server 2012 failover run environment, plan to run SQL Server on top of AlwaysOn, the virtual server is running on the VMware ESXi 5.5.0 platform and found if the virtual server uses e1000e () Type of network adapter, failover communication often fails, when two servers ping each other, occasionally drops packets, if the E1000,vmxnet3 type of

In the process of installing ESXi to the physical server often encounter network card driver problem, if it is Dell, HP, IBM and other vendors of the server, generally these manufacturers after the release of the new ESXi version of VMware will be repackaged, the relevant device driver added to ESXi inside, This reduces the manual installation of the driver for E

For system integration engineers, it may be necessary to install systems such as Windows operating systems, VMware ESXi, etc. frequently.For me, I often install Windows operating systems, VMware ESXi. Because of the different needs of users, the installed system and version are also different. I used to take several U-disk, now still with several U disk (this is the superiority of Chinese language, this U d

VMware is a well-known virtualization product company, and VMware ESXi is also a virtualization software designed for servers. On servers that install VMware ESXi, you can run multiple virtual systems at the same time to take advantage of server resources. One major feature is the ability to generate virtual network topologies that can manage traffic on different virtual systems by creating virtual switches

Recently, with several integrators VMware engineers talking about my intention to use ESXi instead of ESX, they are very surprised to say that ESXi is not free software? Just as when we bought storage, the domestic integrator always recommended only FC Sans without considering the fact that Oracle's large databases can also use NFS, they always seem to be stuck with the technology they used to be, rather th

VMware is already familiar to users, VMware ESXi is also called (VMware vsphere Hypervisor), VMware ESXi is a streamlined and free version of VMware ESX, and the installation configuration is very convenient and simple, so it is favored by many users, As VMware's partner, we are here today to share with you the installation and setup of VMware ESXi 5.1 virtual ma

1, the morning log in Vcenter Server, the left list of the alarm, as shown in Figure 1-1. Figure 1-1 Alarm Interface 2, 200 of the ESXi host disconnected, the virtual machine running all the display has been disconnected (such as the CA server, WSUS server, etc.), fortunately HA features, DRS rules and cluster failover, so that any one of the ESXi host hung,

The author needs to face the environment for time synchronization has a higher requirement, and the virtualized environment time is more prone to problems, you can refer to the previous blog post Why is the synchronization on the domain controller very important? The author of the environment, after personal observation, if there is no time synchronization, virtual machine and standard time gap in just two hours unexpectedly on the deviation of nearly half an hour! According to VMware KB 100306

Experience vsphere 6 of 2-allocate iSCSI storage space for VMware ESXi5 allocating iSCSI storage space for VMware ESXiReturn to the Windows Server R2 host, open the Iscsitarget program, create an iSCSI target, and assign two disks to it. The allocation target can be either the IP address of the VMware ESXi or the MAC address, as an example of the MAC address of the ESXi network card in this example.(1) in i

This post might was sounds simple, removing datastore from ESXi host but it's not actually simple as it sounds. VMware Administrators might think that right-click the Datastore and unmounting. It is not only the process to remove LUN from ESXi hosts but there be few additional pre-checks and post tasks like Detac Hing the device from the host was must before we request storage Administrator to unpresenting

Preparation: Prepare the installation image for VMware ESXi 6 in advance and ensure that the host needs more than 6GB of memory (virtual machines that create 4GB, 2CPU, 40GB drives).Specific configuration steps:1. Version selection: Create VMware ESXi virtual machines in VMware Workstation. On VMware Workstation 11, the version is selected as ' VMware vSphere beta '.650) this.width=650; "src=" http://www.zr

We are familiar with the method of customizing ESXi installation image is basically esxi-customizer-v2.7.x to complete, today I give you a new method, this method in ESXI6.0 start more suitable, as for why we try to know more.The Preparation tool requires:ISO files for Vmware-powercli-6.3.0-3737840.exe and Esxi-customizer-ps-v2.4.ps1 and

Because the work requires installing an esxi5.x for the experiment, we bought a thinkstation which is cost-effective. I have considered it before I buy it. I either install the window system directly, install workstation 10, and Virtualize esxi; or install esxi 5.xon bare metal. I chose the second solution, but the problem arises... Thankstation motherboard comes with Nic model: Intel Ethernet connection I

VMware Vsphere/esxi allows for nested installations. The so-called nested installation, as shown, installs the Vsphere/esxi virtualization software in the Vsphere/esxi virtual machine. Virtual machines can also be deployed on such nested VSPHERE/ESXI virtual machines, but in the default configuration, these virtual mac
