Hey,
I like to know best practises about vmware esxi 5.5 and VLAN's.
What I like to do is using pfSense as a router that handles VLAN's. My question is does the network adapter where the router is atached to has to sort with with VLAn 4095 in VMWare ? And does the pfSense needs to be attached...
I can confirm that installing VMTOOLS, remove the NIC e1000 and add a NIC VMXNet3 ... No more PSOD's...
Did some quick tests with DFS
FileServer 1 -> FileServer 2 (same iscsi) -> OK
FileServer 1 -> Laptop -> OK
Laptop -> FileServer1 -> OK
Other datastore (SSD) -> FileServer 1 -> OK
FileServer...
Maybe this thread can help other people.
This night i'ved
* updated the MB Firmware to 2.0a - issue not resolved
* changed the position of the cards physically - issue not resolved
So Dasaint advise, i'll give it a try tonight ;)
Like I told i'am a ESXi noob but I never looked at the options for a NIC driver first thing this evening is reinstalling and change the E1000 to VMXNet3
Am I right when I do a remove and add a NIC but change the e1000 to VMXNet3 when adding ?
Dasaint,
Tests for today.
Other NIC card -> same issue
Installed VM on Synology iSCSI, when copying to no problem when copying from to SSD where ESXi is installed same issue...
How can you resolve what the problem is when you get a PSOD ?
Many thanks
