Hello
I'm currently trying to install the cisco nexus 1000v on vCenter and esxi 6 in my home lab
I have downloaded Nexus1000v.5.2.1.SV3.1.15
my esxi host is VMware ESXi, 6.0.0, 2494585
my vcenter is 6.0.0
I'm installing in L3 mode
I'm trying to install it under the following VLANS
111 - vsm control
112 - vsm management
113 - vem control
20 - OOB management
30 - iSCSI
32 - vSAN
I've read that the vem control interface can be on a different subnet, provided that are routable.
!
port-profile type ethernet uplink-vem
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3967,4048-4093
channel-group auto mode passive
no shutdown
system vlan 20,30,32,111-113
state enabled
vmware port-group
!
port-profile type vethernet vmk-control
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 113
no shutdown
capability l3control
system vlan 113
state enabled
vmware port-group
!
I've installed the VSM and configure the port profiles as per my configurations, and I have installed the VEM and when i run the vem status -v command it shows the agent is running
I'm connecting my host to a 3750 gig switch and here is my port-channel config
!
interface Port-channel20
description ****nxk1v-uplink-vem-hscesx02****
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
spanning-tree portfast trunk
!
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/5
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 20 mode active
spanning-tree portfast trunk
spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/6
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 20 mode active
spanning-tree portfast trunk
spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
!
So I've configured the port-channels and I've configure the switchport trunk allowed vlan all command on the port-channel, however when I come to add the host within the networking section of the cventer client I get the following error
The name 'host-620 update failed in VSM' already exists
I've set vmkernel in esx to have an ip address of 10.1.113.2 and the default gateway to 10.1.113.254 which both are on VLAN 113, and I can't for the life of my figure out why it's not working
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Regards
