ISCSI over two network card?

Hi.
Is it ok to create iSCSI connection over two different network card?
I have a few servers with 2 4-port 1Gb ethernet card, and I mean to use one port of each card to get redundancy.
Is there any problem that can be happen using two different network card in active mode
Another thing I am worried about is iSCSI VLAN. Does it affect performance to put iSCSI traffic in VLAN?
Thanks on any advice.

Although it's good to have separate switches for iSCSI, it actually depends on the size of your environment (I/O requirements) and the current switches you have in place (port buffer size, Jumbo Frame support, flow control capable, ...), whether it is ok to simply use a dedicated VLAN on them. I've configured both in my customer's environments, and didn't have any issues with VMware's software iSCSI so far.
Assuming you are talking about software iSCSI, there's nothing special you need to configure on the network adapters themselves. It's basically configuring the IP addresses on the VMkernel port groups, setting the failover policies, and - if you are going to use Jumbo Frams - setting the MTU on the vSwitch as well as on the port groups.

Swapping Oracle 7 installation between two network cards

We have an NT server with two network cards for resiliance. We recently tried to swap over to the second card and run Oracle. Oracle started-up ok, but we could not connect to the database from the Aix/PC clients. The tnsnames.ora points to the hostname of the server not a hardcoded address. The hostfile on both clients and server were updated and the server could be pinged. Is there something built into the initialization config, which points to a specific network card? Any help gratefully recieved.

Is the network up? (sudo ifconfig -a). Can you see eth0?
From a terminal session on the server, can you ping localhost, your ip address, gateway?
OL 5.7 boots the Oracle UEK kernel by default. You can also select the original Red Hat Kernel at startup. Does it make any difference?

How to web filtering via two network cards?

I have Installed Server 2008 and two network cards
on my pc. One LAN card for clients access and one for internet router. I need to share internet connection to my client computers with
web filtering. So how to do that? I need to block some sites to client access.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use the WS 2008 to share Internet connection and provide web filtering function for internal clients.
Internal clients –(NIC1) WS 2008(NIC2) – Internet router – Internet network
Manually assign IP address, default gateway, DNS server, etc. on NIC2. Manually assign IP address, DNS server, etc. on NIC1.
Install Network Policy and Access Services – Routing and Remote Access Services. Detailed steps reference:
Install and Enable the Routing and Remote Access Service
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770798(v=ws.10).aspx
Then open Routing and Remote Access and start configuration. Enable NAT on NIC2 to transfer IP address. Detailed steps reference:
Enable and Configure NAT
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd469812.aspx
Windows Server itself does not support web-based filter, third-party tools with application-layer firewall might be needed to realize this function. Configure WS as a router, it supports IP packet filtering, which specifies which type of traffic is allowed
into and out of the router. Reference：

Two network cards configuration

Hi
I have problem with my network - I have two network cards and it seems they can't live both but I need them both so:
1st card (rtl8139) is connected to cable modem and gets ip by DHCP (eth0="dhcp" in rc.conf)
2nd card (nv forcedeth) is connected to router and gets ip by DHCP too (eth1="dhcp")
When I start them both -> 1st and 2nd card gets good IP by DHCP but when I want to ping google.com for example packet is lost.
What I want ? I want to use my eth0 (1st card) for internet and my 2nd card for local network.
##EDIT##
My resolv.conf is 192.168.1.1 but I need DNS from 1st interface -> how to do this?

Messy setup IMO, but anyway....
Your faulty resolv.conf is the reason you can't ping google. Edit it manually as required, and then use the -R flag in /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd to prevent it being overwritten. DHCP on both interfaces will probably cause routing issues as well, in which case you will need the -G flag.

Dbconsole configuration - two network cards

Hi,
I have two network cards in the Solaris server and
Oracle 11g2 EE database server.
One network card is used for connection to the application (data network). Connection though standard port 1521.Database configured using server name defined for Net1 card and I can connect to the Oracle database using net1 card from apps server.
Second card is the management card (connected to the management network).
Is it possible to use it for connection to the dbconsole installed in the database ORACLE_HOME?
If yes, how I should configure dbconsole that I can see dbconsole web window through net2 card.
Thanks,
Oleg

Windows sharing with two network cards

Hello,
I am running OSX 10.4.11 and enables Windows file service.
I have two network cards. one is public (due to the web server) and one is private (192.x.x.x).
Is there a way to make only the 192.x.x.x accessible via the Windows file services? I don't want anyone that is a local user to be able to get to any of the shared folders via the public address. Like if they were at home or something.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks,
Jay

Hello Jay,
Your question does make sense!
And in fact Samba (the software that delivers the Windows file service on a Mac) has configuration options to do just what you want. That's the good news. The bad news is that I don't know a way to set those configuration options from the GUI. If you are confident to use a terminal and edit configuration files by hand then you should be able to establish the Windows file service running on just one interface.
First you need to find out the real name of the interface on which the Windows file service should run. One way is to look under Apple\About this Mac\Network or in a terminal enter:
ifconfig
My Mac Mini has en0 (wired) and en1 (airport) as network interfaces. Suppose en1 is the interface on which file sharing is wanted (you should replace en1 in my example by the name of your network interface!)
Next edit the file /etc/smb.conf in a terminal by:
sudo nano /etc/smb.conf
In the [global] section add the following lines:
interfaces = en1
bind interfaces only = true
Save your edits by pressing Ctrl-O and exit the editor by pressing Ctrl-X
After restarting you can check if it works as expected.
Good luck,
Max

Server 2003 with two network cards problems

We have a win server 2003 with two network cards. From the server we connect using a vpn client from cisco to another server. When we do that we can NOT RDC to our server because it inherits the remote IP from the vpn connection. We installed an additional NIC. We gave an static IP to connect to our local network. How can we or is there a way to tell the vpn client to use one nic card and leave the other so we can RDC to it? thanks

It is possible to configure server to use on nic for incoming and other for outgoing, but it is not possible when vpn client is running. Also it cannot be specified as to which card to use.

Datasocket does not work with two network cards

If I have two ethernet card in a PC. The Datasocket server does not work if the second card is enabled. It keeps displaying resolving IP Address. I am wondering if there is a solution for this problem.
Thanks

Thanks for you reply. One card has a static address(10.20.35.1), which is used for Data socket, and the other card uses a dynamic IP address. The card with dynamic address is only used for connecting the PC to the company’s network.
The second card, when turned on causes the Datasocket server problem. In the Datasocket Server manager I have only two IP addresses under Permissions Groups. (10.20.35.1 and 10.20.35.11. 10.20.35.11 is the IP address of the remote PC with labview application. The Datasocket is used to transfer data between the two PC’s)
I am wondering if my set up for hosts in Datasocket Server manager is not correct.

PLEASE Help on two network cards in server

Hi all,
(Sorry my spelling Im danish)
We have a 10.4.5 server with 2 network cards in it. How does I get the server to route betwin the two networks so that mac's on net 1 (en0) can see mac's and printers on net 2 (en1) and visa versa
The mac's on net 1 can see and use the server (but not print on net 2) The mac's on net 2 cant see or use the server!
The mac's on net 1 get backuped by Retospect on the server. Retospect can't see the mac's on net 2
How does I get this to work?

"sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1"
That will start forwariding immediately but woun't survive a reboot.
In Tiger Server Admin NAT setup you can make this permanent by choosing "start Ipforwarding Only".
(Or by adding a line to /etc/hostconfig:
IPFORWARDING=-YES-
Or by adding a new file /etc/sysctl.conf
with this line in it:
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1)
"Devices on each network need to know how to get to the other network, and that's usually done by editing the routing table on each system."
Not necessary. What's necessary is a static route in each Internet router that use the server IP for each LAN as the gateway/router for the other LAN.
Example network 1: 192.168.100.0/24
Internet router 192.168.100.1
Server IP for that LAN 192.168.100.254
Static route in Internet router: 192.168.200/24 gw 192.168.100.254
Example network 2: 192.168.200.0/24
Internet router 192.168.200.1
Server IP for that LAN 192.168.200.254
Static route in Internet router: 192.168.100/24 gw 192.168.200.254
"In addition it's not common for a printer to have an option to manipulate the route table in this way"
Correct, but you need to add the correct gw/router and netmask to the printer IP settings for this setup. This is sometimes achievable via Telneting to the printer in question to set it up (older Apple printers).
For performance reason it could be better using a static route in each machine if the internet router doesn't send out route redirect packets.
Some DHCP servers should be able to send out a static route to it's clients with the rest of the IP info thus making it easier to provide each machine with a static route.

HOST UNREACHABLE - two network cards

We have two ethernet cards. The first has a static
IP address. This is the card that is used for our
internal network. The second card recieves a dynamic
IP address from a DHCP server. The second card is
used to connect our machine to the internet. When we
disable the second card we are able to make a socket
connection and connect to our database. When the
second card is enabled the socket connection fails and
we get a HOST UNREACHABLE ERROR.
What must be configured here ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Controlling Two Network Card by LabVIEW

Hi,
I'm using LabVIEW 8.5 and Windows XP.
I am intending to use LabVIEW to control a PC with 2 network cards in it.
I want to send TCP/IP packet out from one network card,
and receive the packet from another network card.
Do I have to change the confguration of the XP system?
How can I assign those two different cards to send and receive individually?
Can anyone tell or suggest what to do for me
Thank you very much~ ^^

You will not be able to directly prohibit the network cards from receiving or transmitting. You can define your network routes on the PC to route the traffic in the manner you want. Each network adapter will need to have its own IP address. NI's Internet Tool kit has a few issues, most notably the FTP VIs, when using multiple NICs. In addition, any DNS requests made will be routed to the primary network card. Windows determines which interface it thinks is the primary interface. From a code perspective using the native TCP or UDP VIs you will not have to do anything special.

Udev, two network cards

Hi!
I installed ARCH again. I didn't configure Xorg7 yet because I play with udev and my network cards. I have one integrated on the motherboard (3Com) which I use for Internet and I have D-Link card which I did use with my wifes computer and I live this card in for future. During installation was okay but after update I have a problem. Now I use a wifes computer and at this momemnt after sixt reboot network works.
How can i save this problem, please?

NFS over two networks

I would like to export shares via NFS to two directories simultaneously, runninng OSX Server 10.4.8. One network is public (150.xx.xx.xx) and one is private (192.xx.xx.xx). The two networks can talk to each other via ssh, and I have the private authenticating against the LDAP directory on an XServe that in on both networks. However, I cannot seem to export NFS directories to both networks simultaneously, using the client IP option (everything is static). Maybe I'm missing some setting?
Can someone tell me if what I'm trying is even possible? If it is, how do I get it work?
Thanks in advance.

you would need to have the router/firewall at your church configured to forward specific ports of UDP and TCP traffic to the computer you wish to remotely control. Depending on the firewall, you may also have to sign the computer a static ip or a dhcp name. Also, if your churches ISP connection is not static you'll probable want to sign up and configure a service like DYNdns to handle IP changes.
Or you could use a service like logmein. most of the time you can just install it, and it worsk. so you don't have to know about firewalls, routers, static ip, DYNdns. You can use a mac, pc, or ipad to remotely connect to the computer.
If you want to go the Apple Remote Desktop Route, a good place to start would be to find out what kind of internet connection your church has, and if it's static or dynamic. As well as what firewall/router router they have. Along with what ever user name / password they've set on the router/firewall.
Personally I can do all this stuff; but I found logmein much eaiser and more reliable to use. And I don't have to worrya bout the router/firewall being reset.

Network stream Two network adaptor cards in PC comms with crio

Hi all,
I have two network adaptor cards in my pc which i think is causing my problems when collecting data over the tcp.
I'm seeing an error message -314340 from the create network stream write/read my address match up and i'm using a template crio vibration data logger.
I have two network cards in my pc. I think the error is a tcp one and I’m wondering if this is causing the problem. I’ve given the crio a static ip address 10.0.0.2 with mask 255.255.0.0
You can see the network adaptor below and it’s ip address 10.0.0.1 so I’m connected directly to this via ethernet cable. However from the Routes print cmd I don’t see the 10.0.0.2. Also the gateway for the crio is default at 0.0.0.0
Do I need to add the route to the list ? I found the cmd for that which I don’t think I’m using right… route ADD 10.0.0.2 MASK 255.255.0.0 10.0.0.1
Cheers
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi i'm using the crio data logger template from the create project list:
I'll post my code and some pretty pictures to help explain myself
I'm using a different crio, so i created a new project and configured the FPGA vi for my hardware, then added the host side. I can run the code see the waveforms after 10 seconds it outright crashes and i've been searching through all the error messages tracking it back to some unfound reason. The irony is sometimes the program creates a tdms file and makes a deposit in the crio folder/deposit (this is defined from an xml file)
I do notice within a few seconds the cpu on the waveform panel increases to 70+% before crash, so i'm also thinking the FIFO read is at fault, but it could be another red heiring (just installing the real time exection package so i can trace this better).
I've changed the number of channels from the default 4 to 2 please look in the VibConfig.xml file to see the change as the [Host] Create Config XML.vi doesn't like to changing the channel from 4 for some reason.
My set up is [SENSORS] ==> [cRIO] ==ETHERNET==> [PC] Please help

Can I use more than one network cards simultaneously?

I have installed two network cards in my PC, there are two default routes. Can I send the data via two different interfaces simultaneously? thank you very much!

Sorry, but I wonder if there is any java program for me to do so...
