VMware Workstation Additional Network Adapter not working in ESXi

[mayurparmar777]

Hello guys,

I am trying to build a lab through VMware workstation 15 & vSphere 6.7.

I have successfully installed ESXi 6.7 & vCenter Server Appliance 6.7

But when i checked failover of ESXi from networking part, Once i disconnect the primary adapter ESXi gets disconnected and never do failover on secondary adapter.

I have tried multiple times but nothing helped.

Because of this issue i am unable to migrate to vDS & not able to perform NSX installation as well.

If anyone has faced the same issue please help me. I would be really thankful to everyone.

Did you already check the failover&teaming settings of the vSwitch, and the Management port group to ensure that both vmnics are active (or at lease active/standby)?

Hi,

Yes I have kept all failover settings to default and made both the network active-active as well as active-standby but didn't worked.

Ok, lets start troubleshooting with the ESXi VM istelf. Please attach (don't paste) the ESXi VM's current vmware.log file to a reply post.

Hi,

Kindly find attached vmware.log file of ESXi & configuration settings as well.

How about the "Management Network" port group's Failover settings? Are they inherited from the vSwitch, i.e. are both vmnics configured correctly?

yes they are inherited from the vSwitch.

Yes I have kept all the settings to default only make secondary NIS as standby that's it.
