Hi Guys,
I'm in the home stretch of my VM deployment but I think I have hit my final snag.
Quick summary of where I am up to:
2x DellR710's, 1x MD3200i with two 4 port Controllers, 2x 5224 switches dedicated for iSCSI, 1x 6248 L3 switch, coupla other 5448 switches as needed around the network. Now, with some assistance fromt eh forums here I have my 2x R710 hosts talking beautifully with the Md3200i (each configured to use 4 vmnics across 2 vSwitches giving me 8 paths to the LUNs 4 Active I/O and 4 standby using VM RR) all good. I then put 6 vmnics into vSwitch 3 as a VMNetwork - IPHash failover, all active. I then created a test VM - installed as it should, using a LUN from the Md3200i - great. One small issue. No network conenctivity! Administering from a vSphere client on my lappy I can see vSwitch 3, the vmnics on it AND the Temp VM assinged to it and that the vSwitch is assigned to VLAN10. On my 6248 I have assigned the physical ports those 6 vmnics plug into to VLAN10 as well. I gave the server a static IP of 10.0.10.100. The switch has a routing interface for that subnet set to 10.0.10.254 - which I can ping from other subnets, due to routing rules. When I go to the console of that Test VM, running Windows 2008R2 Standard I can see that the VMXNET3 nic I setup during the setup phase has a Yellow exclamation mark on the icon down near the time.
What have I misconfigured?
