Hyper-V: Configure VLANs and VLAN Tagging

Hyper-V: Configure VLANs and VLAN Tagging

The most Generic model:  enable Trunking on the physical switch (specifying the VLAN IDs and native VLAN) and apply a VLAN ID in the settings of the virtual NIC of each VM that needs it and the VM is attached to the proper External Virtual Network.
Note:  Hyper-V Virtual Networks are "trunking mode" by default.
  1. Configure the switch port as a trunk
  2. Specify VLAN IDs / Tags and native VLAN
  3. On Hyper-V create an External Virtual Network attached to the configured trunk port of the physical switch
  4. Apply a VLAN ID / Tag to each VM in the settings of the virtual network adapter
The Network Teaming model:  NIC Teaming is involved (since Hyper-V does not support bonding) - you apply the VLAN tag to the Teaming virtual NIC and attach a virtual switch to this.
  1. Create a trunked port on your switch.
  2. Create a team
  3. Create several Team Virtual NICs in parent partition assigning different VLAN IDs to each virtual NIC
  4. Create a Virtual Network from each of the Teaming Virtual NICs
  5. Connect VMs to proper Virtual Networks
  6. Don’t specify the VLAN ID field in VM properties
  7. But in some cases (e.g. HP NCU) step 6 is exactly opposite. You must specify VLAN ID both on virtual NIC level (step 3) and each VM level (step 6)
SCVMM is involved – follow the Generic Model and be sure to set the “trunking” option on the Virtual Network settings in the SCVMM management console.
Note: SCVMM exposes the two different types of trunking options (the Hyper-V Manager GUI does not expose the access mode setting) - trunk mode and access mode.

Quick Guide to VCF Automation for VCD Administrators

  Quick Guide to VCF Automation for VCD Administrators VMware Cloud Foundation 9 (VCF 9) has been  released  and with it comes brand new Cloud Management Platform –  VCF Automation (VCFA)  which supercedes both Aria Automation and VMware Cloud Director (VCD). This blog post is intended for those people that know VCD quite well and want to understand how is VCFA similar or different to help them quickly orient in the new direction. It should be emphasized that VCFA is a new solution and not just rebranding of an old one. However it reuses a lot of components from its predecessors. The provider part of VCFA called Tenenat Manager is based on VCD code and the UI and APIs will be familiar to VCD admins, while the tenant part inherist a lot from Aria Automation and especially for VCD end-users will look brand new. Deployment and Architecture VCFA is generaly deployed from VCF Operations Fleet Management (former Aria Suite LCM embeded in VCF Ops. Fleet Management...

  Issue with Aria Automation Custom form Multi Value Picker and Data Grid https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleNumber=345960 Products VMware Aria Suite Issue/Introduction Symptoms: Getting  error " Expected Type String but was Object ", w hen trying to use Complex Types in MultiValue Picker on the Aria for Automation Custom Form. Environment VMware vRealize Automation 8.x Cause This issue has been identified where the problem appears when a single column Multi Value Picker or Data Grid is used. Resolution This is a known issue. There is a workaround.  Workaround: As a workaround, try adding one empty column in the Multivalue picker without filling the options. So we can add one more column without filling the value which will be hidden(there is a button in the designer page that will hide the column). This way the end user will receive the same view.
