Fileover over 2 ESX nodes (Essential)
-
Hi All
I try to create an HA solution with my 2 ESX node.
I test in one node and it's works fine when disconect master switch to slave and back to normal.
So when I move mani pf o slave pf to other node it's stop to work. My hw is:
1 node esx DELL SRV with 3 NIC (2 nic connected to different adls, 1 nic connect to lan switch)
2 node esx DELL SRV with 4 nic (2 nic connected to different adls, 2 nic (team) to lan switch)Any experience on that is possible to do that with my current configuration?
thks

VMware ESX Users
Enable promiscuous mode on the vSwitch
Enable "MAC Address changes"
Enable "Forged transmits"
ESX VDS Config
If a Virtual Distributed Switch is being used, it is possible to make a port group for the firewall interfaces with promiscuous mode enabled, and a separate non-promiscuous portgroup for other hosts. This has been reported to work by users on the forum as a way to strike a balance between the requirements for letting CARP function and for securing client ports. -
Hi
our vmware licensing is Essential and VDS feauture is not available. any suggestion?
-
Don't pay attention to the VDS Config part? These are the important bits:
-
Enable promiscuous mode on the vSwitch
-
Enable "MAC Address changes"
-
Enable "Forged transmits"
