Hello
I am need of some help to get Nexus 1000V working in my lab. Lab is made out of (see attached diagram) and also included screenshot of DVS within vCenter server.
Physical server runing VMware ESXi 4.1 - this is standalon server. runinng following
Nexus 1000V VMS (Virutal Machine)
vCenter Server (Virtual Machine)
Connected to Cisco 3560 switch - connected mode are in trunk mode allowed VLAN 51,53,10
Physical PC with VMware Workstation software running:
ESXi version 5
Physical PC Network adapter connected to cisco 3560 switch in Trunk mode alled VLAN 51,53,10
Using Network driver I have created a logical VLAN for all three VLAN so that ESXi host is able to tag right VLAN within its interfaces.
I am able to ping all devices on the network and different vlans. However, I have two issues:
1. VEM is not displayed within VSM or not registering it self.
2. When I create System-uplink on VLAN 51 and assing right ESXi NIC tagged for this VLAN which does green but when I create second data-Uplink VM traffic for VLAN10 within vCenter it show port disabled and say access VLAN set to 1. Do not understand this bit.
