Link Aggregation on vSwitch0

8 Comments

I got asked about getting Static Link Aggregation working on the default Management Network on vSwitch0, which reminded me of this frustrating incident.  It’s one of those quirks that you have to swallow as a quirk and make sure to remember. Link aggregation on vSwitch0 need special attention.

One of the early tasks that occurs during a deployment is to make sure that the environment has resilience in it’s configuration, especially the fundamental network connections (VM Network, Management Network, vMotion, Storage).  ESXi hosts come initially deployed with VM Network and Management Network set up on vSwitch0.  If you’re working quickly and set up vSwitch0’s Link Aggregation (NIC Teaming tab), expecting it to flow through to the pre-configured networks, you’ll be let down.

Clarity on Enhanced vMotion in Essentials Plus

Leave a comment

I was at Spiceworld 2012 Austin on the 11th and 12th of October and got some clarity on the issue of how vSphere 5.1 Enhanced vMotion works on Essentials Plus (which doesn’t have Storage vMotion). Mike Fegan, a VMware SE, explained Numerous men free levitra sample have discovered it to be very careful about how they detoxify, and often they need regular, quality nourishment. Kamagra is a generic version of traditional yet popular cialis 10 mg. cialis was the first med to treat male forsakenness (erectile brokenness). Nicotine is a constrictor and has a quicker absorption rate viagra stores in canada (15 minutes). It is considered one of the most embarrassing conditions in men, which makes them fail to share even with their partner. generic cialis prices that on Essentials Plus, we have the option to do a standard vMotion, if we are using shared storage, or a run state plus Storage vMotion, but not a pure Storage vMotion. He later re-stated that on Spiceworks. Thanks again, Mike.

vSphere 5.1 Announcement Annoyances

1 Comment

If you’ve been following the announcements and discussion after VMworld 2012, you’ll have seen the discussion of the new features during the vSphere 5.1 announcement.

I’ve been confused by the description of enhanced or share-nothing vMotion (what should you call it?).

Leverage the advantages of vMotion (zero-downtime migration) without the need for shared storage configurations. This new vMotion capability applies to the entire network. –

If you look at the licensing documents for the vSphere kits, you’ll see that vMotion is included in the Essentials Plus Kit, but Storage vMotion is not.

Even if the man is sexually aroused he will not be able to enjoy his normal, happy, enjoyable and satisfied love levitra price http://pamelaannschoolofdance.com/adult-classes/ life. Please keep in tadalafil in india mind that these pills are utilized to regard a man’s condition as well as reacting nitric acid and copper. As if the stress generic viagra without prescription of raising youngsters in present-day hustle-bustle globe isn’t enough, with both of you working and the price differs accordingly. A massive range of pessimistic elements hover around making the sexual instinct miserable one. cheapest viagra canada So the question follows, will Essentials Plus Kit owners be able to do the enhanced vMotion, or will they be dependent on shared storage?  Is the new enhanced vMotion a separately named feature?   Is this just an oversight that will be corrected by pushing Storage vMotion down to the Essentials Plus Kit?  Or will Essentials Plus Kit owners be able to do the new enhanced vMotion but not separate, decoupled Storage vMotion?  Moving storage and run-time control to a new server (enhanced, share-nothing vMotion), or just run-time control with shared storage (our 5.0 vMotion), but not just storage would be an awkward licensing contortion, wouldn’t it?  Bringing Storage vMotion as well as the enhanced vMotion down to Essentials Plus would be the cleanest way.

Thoughts?

My annoyance is the lack of mention of any progress on the vCenter Server Appliance.  There’s one line in the vCenter 5.1 document.

With the VMware® vCenter™ Server Appliance™ (vCenter Server Appliance) only the appropriate service must be enabled and started.  — What’s New in VMware vSphere® 5.1–VMware vCenter Server ™

That’s it.  No mention of whether vCenter Server Appliance is a first class citizen when compared to the full Windows version.  No mention on limitations being lifted.  Remember how the vSphere Storage Appliance 5.0 couldn’t co-exist with vCenter Server Appliance?  Well, no mention of that restriction or lifting of it in the vCenter document or the Storage Appliance document (What’s New in VMware vSphere Storage Appliance).

Annoying.
