Backup Issue

[aadhiVCP]

Hi ,

ESX has 5 VM's and configured backup port on NIC5. One of

the VM not able to ping the backup servers rest all able to ping the backup

server. Same IP range and subnet.

We removed the NIC and re added, still no luck. Please

suggest

Can you give more details about the network layout?

We removed the NIC and re added, still no luck. Please

suggest

The physical NIC or the virtual one assigned to the guest in question? Does the virtual NIC start connected? Can it ping the IP address of other guests via that connection (using the IP address of another guest also connected to that vSwitch/subnet).

Hi,

Are they in the same vSwitch and same vlan?

Can you post more info about your network in that host or post the screen shot from it?

Hello,

Verify that the 'NIC' is actually in 'connected' state within the VM as well.

Hello,

Connected in the OS and Connected within the VM are actually two different things. One you check by 'Edit Settings' from the vSphere Client for the actual VM. While in the vSphere Client also check to be sure it is connected to the proper vSwitch and Portgroup within your environment.

Where is the VM within your infrastructure? On the same host as the other 'working' VMs, or a different host. If its a different host then you may have a physical network issue.

Is the UUID for this VM different than all other VMs? If you clone sometimes it is the same.

Is the MAC address used within the VM the same as another VM?

Is the Generated Key used for MAC and ethernet IDs within the VMX file different or the same as another one?

What type of 'Device' does the vSphere Client say the VM is using? Is the proper driver installed within the VM?

There are many places to check to see if things are setup properly.
