Installing ESX Server on Additional Blades

Once you install ESX Server on a system, you can quickly deploy or provision more ESX

Server systems that share the same configuration, or have a similar configuration. You

can install ESX Server on additional blades either by using the ESX Server 2.5 CD-ROM

(described in the preceding section) or by using a remote network installation

procedure (described in the following section).

Post-Installation Considerations on Intel Blade Servers

We discuss two topics in this section:

! Using NIC Teaming on Intel Blade Servers on page 84

! Creating VLANs with NIC Teaming on Intel Blade Servers on page 85

Using NIC Teaming on Intel Blade Servers

Intel 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 Intel SBX44 or SBXL52 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.

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].
