esxi 6.5 problem with 2 network adapter

[gabrigabri]

I at all

i have esxi with 2 NIC installed

i have created

VM Network	0	0	Standard port group	vSwitch0	0
Management Network	1	0	Standard port group	vSwitch0	N/A
VM Network1	1	0	Standard port group	vSwitch1	N/A
VM Network2	1	0	Standard port group	vSwitch2	N/A

vmk0	Management Network	Default TCP/IP stack	Management	192.168.6.254	fe80::f292:1cff:fee0:fe3d/64
vmk1	VM Network1	Default TCP/IP stack		192.168.10.180	fe80::250:56ff:fe6f:a141/64
vmk2	VM Network2	Default TCP/IP stack		192.168.5.254	fe80::250:56ff:fe63:f8b3/64

when i create a VM i only see "VM Network" 

and not  "VM Network2"  and   "VM Network1"

what could it be?

thanks

Because here "VM Network1" and "VM Network2" are VMkernel nic port .

While creating portgroup select  "Virtual Machine Port Group for a Standard Switch" for VMs.

i.e,Add Networking

Select a connection type to create.

VMkernel Network Adapter

• The VMkernel TCP/IP stack handles traffic for ESXi services such as vSphere vMotion, iSCSI, NFS, FCoE, Fault Tolerance, vSAN, host management and etc.

Virtual Machine Port Group for a Standard Switch

• A port group handles the virtual machine traffic on standard switch.

The moment you added vmk1 to "VM Network1" and vmk2 to "VM Network2" you stopped those port groups from being for VMs.

A port group can EITHER be for VMs OR for the VMkernel - not both.

There is a tutorial to configure the network well ,

or can you show me the steps I need to do?

... very thank you

Follow this process to remove vmk1 and vmk2: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc/GUID-E61E4413-5711-4...

That is assuming that you don't need vmk1 or vmk2 for ESXi management, vMotion, IP-based storage access...

thanks  scott28tt

thisis only for remove

and for create new network configuration  ?

..very thanks

See the reply from doskiran above - just make sure you select VM Port Group and not VMkernel.

[gabrigabri]

when i try to create a port group  :

'Virtual Machine Port Group for a Standard Switch'

is not present 

[doskiran]

Ok. That means your trying to add portgroup in ESXi Host Client.

Please follow these steps to add portgroup in host client..
