Running 1000 on a Single Host

[Cy Hauptmann]

Following the steps to run the Nexus 1000 on a single host, I run into this problem which I wonder if you have guys seen.

When I move the Packet and Control vlan off the vSwitch and onto the Nexus 1000, my VEM on the host powers downs.

Any thoughts?

If you could post a show run that would help troubleshoot. My guess is that you are missing the system vlan setting for you control and packet port-profiles.

My current config for the N1k is as follows:

port-profile type vethernet N1K-Control
vmware port-group
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 411
no shutdown
state enabled
port-Profile type vethernet N1K-Packet
vmware port-group
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 412
no shutdown
state enabled

port-profile type ethernet system-uplink
vmware port-group
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 411-412
no shutdown
state enabled
sytem vlan 411-412
port-portfile type ethernet network-uplink
vmware port-group
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-410,413-3967,4048-4093
no shutdown
state enabled

Not sure what else you need ...

Is there a reason you have two uplinks? You can combine the uplinks into one if you want.

Since you have two uplinks lets tackle that for now.

You want to add "system vlan 411" to the N1K-Control and "system vlan 412" to the N1K-Packet port-profiles.

I'm pretty sure that will fix the problem.
