This thread has been moved from Switches, Hubs, Modems (Legacy ITRC forum) to ProCurve / ProVision-Based. I've performed this task a dozen times on Cisco's with EtherChannel but this is the first time with an HP and I'm shocked that it's been so difficult. Follow this answer to receive notifications. VMWare also details this process for ESXi 5 in this knowledgebase article.
I attempted to configure the trunk asīut in that instance, the switch shows that the partner LACP channel never gets acknowledged. Log on to the console of the server in question and restart the management agents. The trunk then get created but the switch then never negotiates LACP between itself and the ESXi server. vCenter 5. I then configure the two switchports that are uplinked to the ESXi server, using the command: VI / vSphere client to ESXi/ESX Host management connection: ESXi 5.x: 902: TCP: vSphere Client: ESXi 5.x: vSphere Client access to virtual machine consoles (MKS) vCenter 5.x: 80: TCP: vSphere Client /vSphere Web Client: vCenter Server: vCenter Server requires port 80 for direct HTTP connections. The server provides bootstrapping, management, and other services that manage your virtual machines. Configuration includes identifying the virtual machine’s resources, such as storage devices.
If your vCenter or ESXi hosts are configured to expose their API on nonstandard ports. Through ESXi, you run the virtual machines, install operating systems, run applications, and configure the virtual machines.
I've got the ESXi server set for IP hash based load balancing, and it's using the default VLAN 1 tag, since that's the VLAN that the server and it's guest VMs will be passing traffic on. Creating a Read-only User for an ESXi Host or vCenter Server. I have been attempting to create a basic two-port LAG, between by HP 4512zl switch, and two 10GbE interfaces on a VMWare ESXi 5.5 host, and no matter what combination on the switch I attempt, the LAG never comes up.
