This presentation prepares networking engineers for the fundamentals of deploying application in today’s server virtualization infrastructure. The objectives for this presentation is to share best practices, tips and tricks on how best to implement Cisco technology such as Cisco UCS and Cisco Nexus 1000v with any virtualization stack. During this presentation we will analyze and dissect two server virtualization use cases recently architected. These use cases consist of a multi -tenant private cloud and virtual desktop infrastructure for thousands of users.

Uplink Port Profiles from VMware ESX vNIC’s example

The service console or mgmt port-profile will be created
for service console (vmkernel) interface. It is critical that
this port-profile is also configured as a “system vlan”
port-profile type vethernet mgmt

Uplink Port Profiles from VMware ESX vNIC’s example
Without a VMkernel port none of these services can be used on the ESX server
A VMkernel port is required on each ESX host where the following services will be
used:
– vMotion
– iSCSI
– NFS
– Fault Tolerance
Choose "VMkernel" for the connection type,
Click Next.

Give the VMKernel port a label (e.g. iSCSI - if it will
purely be used for iSCSI)
Enter an IP address to assign to the VMkernel port.
No routing!!
