Hi all,
I'm having trouble integrating this - I have followed the available documentation but to be honest it is extremly vague (or maybe I'm being unfair!).
I have 3 subnets, all located on the same switch, each with an SVI:
Routeable Net 1: 10.1.1.0/25 - 10.1.1.1 - VLAN 1233
Routeable Net 2: 10.1.1.128/25 - 10.1.1.129 - VLAN 1234
non-Routeable Net 3: 172.16.220.0/24 - 172.16.220.1 - VLAN 2234
My VSM IP is configured in Net 2 with my ESXi VEM modules in Net 1, so that's the L3 side of things sorted out in terms of VSM > VEM communication, I have a VSG which is also working fine and I have Cisco Prime running too so I know the platform itself is fine.
Mod Ports Module-Type Model Status
--- ----- -------------------------------- ------------------ ------------
1 0 Virtual Supervisor Module Nexus1000V active *
2 0 Virtual Supervisor Module Nexus1000V ha-standby
3 332 Virtual Ethernet Module NA ok
4 332 Virtual Ethernet Module NA ok
5 332 Virtual Ethernet Module NA ok
7 332 Virtual Ethernet Module NA ok
8 332 Virtual Ethernet Module NA ok
9 332 Virtual Ethernet Module NA ok
10 332 Virtual Ethernet Module NA ok
11 332 Virtual Ethernet Module NA ok
12 332 Virtual Ethernet Module NA ok
13 332 Virtual Ethernet Module NA ok
15 332 Virtual Ethernet Module NA ok
16 332 Virtual Ethernet Module NA ok
17 332 Virtual Ethernet Module NA ok
As you can see, all up and running.
I have installed the Netscaler using the OVA, in more than one way and using different interface configurations, but for the benefit of accuracy, following the document requires 2 interfaces configured as part of the VEM network, which I did, but the NetScaler doesn't work in L2 Adjacency mode as suggested in the manual - therefore I moved it to Net2.
vsm#
vservice node NS1 type adc
ip address 10.1.1.143
adjacency l3
fail-mode open
And on the NetScaler
> show vpathparam
Source IP: 10.1.1.143
Global EncapMode: L3
I have this configured back in the VSM on the port-profile as suggested:
vsm#
port-profile type vethernet public-1234
vmware port-group
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 1234
no shutdown
system vlan 1234
state enabled
However if I issue the 'show vservice brief' command I see the following:
ID Name Type IP-Address Mode State Module
2 NS1 adc 10.1.1.143 l3 Unreach 3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,15,16,17,
So - vPath definitely not working, I can't even add a DNS server to the NetScaler as I can't get any packets too or from it - I can manage it from it's correct NSIP which is 10.1.1.150
NOTE: All IPs and VLANs have been updated but they relflect the idea.
Has anyone got a working config, example or have any experience integrating the NetScaler (I know this is a longshot since it was only released a week or so back, but I really need to see it working for a POC we're doing).
Please don't hesitate to ask for more info if you can help.
Thanks
Phil

You aren't being unfair about the documentation at all. I've probably spent 72 hours on the phone with TAC & Citrix on this, and have received very little guidance. At this point I'm about to give them one more shot, and then the 1000V netscalers are gone. I don't have time to keep screwing around with such a poorly documented and supported environment.
If I get this working after this call (about to start it up) I'll leave the info here.
