ESXi vm template with VMXnet3 for Nic is a lot of problems

Before I saw the article said that the VMware network card E1000 compatibility is better, and VMXnet3 a lot of clients directly is not recognized, generally also need to install Vmwaretool after his corresponding driver will be installed, and VMXNET3 network card performance is better, The relative E1000 can reduce the CPU utilization of the virtual machine!

Generally speaking:

E1000---has 1G of bandwidth

VMXnet3---has 10G of bandwidth

So in the work of installing a virtual machine with this VMXNET3 network card, you can use it to do template machine problems, cloning out of the computer, modified its IP, can ping must have plotted network segment IP address, but is unable to ping the gateway! For a long time can not solve! Gray is often strange, was upset!

Finally do the experiment, found that the original may be a network card conflict, as long as the clone of the master stopped, its cloning machine will return to normal! Anyway, a VMXnet3 card can only be used for a machine, the other one with the problem. This situation with E1000 will not appear, with VMXnet3 there is inexplicable problem! The solution is to replace the network card, the operation is to add more than one network card, and then delete the previous network card (note to be added before deleting).

Record, share to everyone!
