Collections in the Chocolatey Namespace. Collections in the Check_point Namespace. Virtualization and Containerization Guides. This operation for every host could be long, repetitive and the change to make human error is really high. The first important step to do is create vSwitch. In my case I start adding one more available physical nic: Note: at least 2 physical nic is mandatory to realize the following operations. It is possible to realize downgrade migration with user interface, but in a large environment it could be a repetitive work that could be scriptable. Obviously working with 2 physical nics guarantee the real 0 downtime during networking migration. To guarantee that the host will be reachable, to operation will roll-back automatically. Note: in vmKernel portgroup migration it could be happens that something goes wrong due to physical or human error connection. 
At ready to complete all tasks will be done.In migrate VM networking expand the VM that is already connected to the standard vSwitch.Go further the step vmkernel and Analyze impact, because in this case we don’t have any of that.In “manage physical adapter” choose the physical nic already used in Standard vSwitch to migrate.
Choose all network adapter tasks (useful if you have a vmKernel to migrate). With “New Hosts” choose the host in the cluster. Choose “Add host and manage host networking”. Note: before start the migration is important to have the same portgroup vlan ID with a similar name to recognize it during VM migration. In case of migration, is enough to specify the version and the number of uplink depending on your physical connection available in the standard switch. The Distributed vSwitch creation is really simple: Just right click under your vDatacenter in Network tab and few steps choosing version and default port group. Next I’ll show the distributed switch (under Networking > ): There’s a VM connected to justify that you could do this operation with near 0 interruption (depending on your physical networking it could be happens 1 or 2 ping loss). Let’s assume that vminc0 and vmnic1 are physcially connected with 2 switches in stack with the same VLANs. NOTE: for this example the available physical nics are disconnected because I’m using a lab in a piece of production environment. 6.5… Under Hosts and Clusters > Manage > Networking, Standard vSwitch topology looks like the following : #Vmware 6.0 create vlan group standard switch how to#
Realizing this operation is really simple, in this example I’ll show how to move:īecause I’m under migrations I couldn’t show the cool ui v. Migrating from VSS to DVS with user interface
In some scenarios, if you feel safe with the use of NSX, you could ask to your Network admin only few VLANs (Management, DMZand services) at least 1600MTU (Jumbo Frame is the top)… All network deployments and operations could be handled in vSphere environment with the use of VXLAN, DLR and FLR.(More on this blog stay tuned!). For this reason never share your infrastructure network with other services: use a dedicated 2n switches on top of the rack with 802.1q. This becuase other infrastructure traffic like vMotion and backup requires more available bandwidth as possible to guarantee operational tasks. Virtual infrastructure are networking intensive even if the production traffic stays under 1Gb. For this reason say to your network admin :- keep calm and let vmware admin do his work! – Virtual switches are bringing the best of physical switch without creating loop or handling spanning-tree protocol. #Vmware 6.0 create vlan group standard switch install#
Distributed virtual switch enables advanced features and the ability install vib packages eg.: VXLAN and Nexus 1000V (Nexus vib will be discontinued in 2018).For these reason: migrate to last “production” available version to gain new features Now it’s used only for 6.x transition purpose. vSphere 5.5 was the best solution to deploy production infrastructure about 3 years ago. vSphere 4.1 is outdated (really outdated!), the migration to higher version doesn’t mean a vRAM extra bid like happened in vSphere 5.0.Unfortunately I heard about this a lot even if is using vSphere > 4.0. Distributed virtual switch doesn’t need vCenter to be available during data flow between VM and vSwitch.Talking about Virtual Network, there are some elements that always bring al lot of system and network administrators worried about the choosing of how to combine physical and virtual networking, and these are the stuffs to demistify to proceed s afe and conscious using virtual switches: Depending on your licensing, it could be useful the knowledge how to migrate virtual from Standard to Distributed and vice-versa.
