Data Center Switches

Is there any way to configure a port-profile to connect to two upstream switches where the vmotion & service console vlans use one channel sub group and the vm data uses a separate sub group? Also in the event of one of the upstream switches being un...

I've setup things according to the installation guide. Creating the nexus switch on the VC went flawleslly, as well as installing the VEM module on the host.But show modules on the VSM shows no VEMs, and the MAC of the VEM is not in show svs neighbor...

I installed vmware workstation and nexus into it. I do not see any interfaces other than the mgmt interface.Is this compativle with vmware workstation 6.5?

I hope my VM terminology is correct...  My VM team wants to know if there is a way to make only a certain port-profile(s) available to certain clusters in a VM datacenter.  So if lets say "port-profile XYZ" can only be made available as on option for...

after installing Nexus, i cannot power it on! See attachment for errors.ThanksFrancisco

HiI'm PoCing the nexus 1000v. I installed the VEM, the plug in, the VSM, according to the installation guide flow chart.When I come to the step: verifying the installtion: show module does not show the VEM installed in the ESX (The VSM and the VEM ar...

Hi,I have installed the 1000v software and requested the eval license. I received this via email and copied it to the bootflash. When I attempt to install the license I get the error "Installing license failed: License file has no features". I tried ...

Hi there,we get a error message above even we've connected 2 physical nic's to the Service Console port profile.We know there is a HA adv. setting to switch of this message, but we wonder if there is a solution to this rather then a "work-araound".To...

Hi!Another interesting issue occurred during laboratory testing...Setup:- Two ESX hosts with four PNICs.- One host was set up to run VSM (without VEM).- The other host was set up to run VEM.During VEM installation, the ESX host crashed (reason unknow...

Another interesting note on Nexus 1000V behaviour;We had a lab environment with six ESX servers. I did an installation with all hosts running VEMs with all PNICs. In addition, one was also running VSM behind VEM. We had to physically move the whole e...

Hi!I have been testing Nexus 1000V in various lab environments and have come up with several interesting notes. I will post all of them starting with this one;What happens, if you lose your vCenter server? This happened to me and I am wondering, how ...

Another interesting note from Nexus 1000V.This is kind of continuation from previous message...Once we had our Nexus 1000V system up and running, we started to enable VMs inside the system. Previously all ESX hosts were connected to Cisco 2960 switch...

Hi there,we get the error message "A specified parameter was not correct, spec.connectionCookie" when we try to add or remove a physical adapter from the port groups.Any idea what goes wrong.Tom

Where can I find basic sizing documentation i.e. is it one VSM per datacenter, or per vCenter, how many VMs per VSM, etc.?

The 1000v Deployment guide has a design suggestion at the end for ESX hosts with 6 physical Nics.  The suggestion is to create two vPC-HM port channels; one with two physical NICs assigned to it dedicated for VMware VMotion as well as the service con...
