Using NIC Teaming on IBM Blade Servers

IBM blade servers have two physical network interface cards (NICs). NIC teaming

(IEEE 802.3ad) is a feature of ESX Server that allows you to create a bonded NIC that

spans multiple physical NICs. Each bond acts as a virtual switch that provides multiple

uplinks for your use. For more information on bonds and virtual switches, see the ESX

Server 2.5 Administration Guide.

Because the IBM HS20 blades have only two NICs per blade, a standard NIC teaming

configuration dedicates both NICs to the virtual machines, leaving no NICs for the

service console. To address this limitation, ESX Server allows you to dedicate both NICs

to the virtual machine and create a bond, then give network access to the service

console through the vmxnet_console module. This action results in the service console

being on the same local area network (LAN) segment as the virtual machines.

To configure NIC teaming

1Install ESX Server as described previously.

2 As root, log into the service console. Run the vmkpcidivy program in the interactive

mode.

vmkpcidivy -i

a As you have already installed ESX Server, accept all the defaults until you get

to the NICs.

b Share the NIC that was originally assigned to the VMware Service Console.

Look for the NIC that is labeled with a [c] and change this to shared mode by

typing s. Leave the remaining NIC assigned to the VMkernel [v].

3Create the bond. Using vi or a similar text editor, edit /etc/vmware/hwconfig and

add the following two lines to the end of the file, where x is a bond number from 0

to 9.

nicteam.vmnic0.team = “bond<x>”

nicteam.vmnic1.team = “bond<x>”

4Use the vmxnet_console module to give network access to the service console.

Using vi or a similar text editor, edit /etc/rc.local and add the following lines,

where x is the bond number you selected in step 3.

#vmxnet_console through bond<x>

/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop

rmmod vmxnet_console

insmod vmxnet_console devName=bond<x>

/etc/init.d/network start

mount -a
