手册-ESX 配置向导的读书笔记（待续）

“ESX配置向导”提供了为ESX配置网络的一些信息，提供了如何建立虚拟交换机和端口，如何为虚拟机、VMOTION、IPStorage以及service console配置网络的信息。同时也讨论了一些诸如如何配置文件系统，如何配置各种类型的存储（诸如ISCSI、光纤等此类）。为了保护安装好的ESX，手册还探讨了一些ESX内建的安全特性和我们在攻击下能采取的一些方法。还包括了vmkfstools工具的描述信息和

In
addition, it includes a list of ESX technical support commands along with their vSphere Client equivalents and
a description of the vmkfstools utility.

一、网络

A vNetwork Distributed Switch acts as a single vSwitch across all associated hosts on a datacenter. This allows
virtual machines to maintain consistent network configuration as they migrate across multiple hosts.

分布式虚拟交换机的的作用就像一个链接datacenter中所有相关主机的单一的虚拟交换机。这样就使虚拟机载多主机间迁移时保持一个统一的网络配置。

 

A dvPort is a port on a vNetwork Distributed Switch that connects to a host’s service console or VMkernel or
to a virtual machine’s network adapter.

dvPort端口是分布式网络交换机的一个端口，它连接主机的service console，或者VMkernel ，和虚拟机的网络适配器。

 

View Networking Information in the vSphere Client(在VC客户端查看网络信息)
The vSphere Client displays general networking information and information specific to network adapters.
Procedure
1 Log in to the vSphere Client and select the host from the inventory panel.
2 Click the Configuration tab and click Networking.
3 Click Virtual Switch to view vNetwork Standard Switch networking on the host or Distributed Virtual
Switch to view vNetwork Distributed Switch networking on the host.
The Distributed Virtual Switch option appears only on hosts that are associated with a vNetwork
Distributed Switch.
Networking information is displayed for each virtual switch on the host.
