Setting host network configuration preferences
These settings are used to evaluate the network configuration of a host with respect to its Virtual
Connect profile.
NOTE:
This feature is available only on the vSphere Web Client.
1.
Access the HP Insight Management Administration page.
2.
Select Host Network Configuration Preferences in the left pane.
The Host Configuration Preferences page is displayed which lists all the networks discovered
in the VC domains available.
3.
Select the Virtual Connect network to be tagged as the Management, VMotion and FT network.
All the other networks are considered to be VM networks.
4.
Select the default switch type that will be considered/used during host consistency checks and
configuration. If the default switch type selected is the vSphere Distributed Switch, then select
the version that you intend to use for the distributed switch.
NOTE:
•
The host network configuration feature is not supported for hosts running the ESX classic
version.
•
If your environment has different ESXi versions and you intend to use the vSphere
Distributed Switch for host network configuration, ensure that the correct vSphere
Distributed Switch version is configured so that host network configuration uses this switch
version across all hosts in your environment.
It is recommended that the lowest vSphere Distributed Switch version (corresponding to
the lowest ESXi version in your environment) is configured so that host network
configuration can use this switch version across all hosts in your environment.
5.
Click Save.
Click Clear to reset all the selections to the default values.
TIP:
Click Refresh to refresh the Networks.
