Hi Chris,

I am evaluating this environment with VMWare workstation 4.0 and also
GSX server 2.5.
Both with the same problem.
Problem is after configuring last NLB Node there is no IP traffic from
this node possible..
Anyone running NLB on Vmware ?

With regards,
Ruben

I have seen some weird issues with Vmware 3.0 workstation, where you
need to have multiple physical NIC's installed if you are running
multiple VM's.  Why not install another NIC into your server.

Hi Chris,
This is the situation:

Server 1:=3D3D20
Windows Server 2003=3D3D20
Name: SRVTS04
IP: 192.168.1.104
Using Bridged NIC of Vmware GSX 2.5
Only one NIC in NLB farm

Server 2:
Windows Server 2003
Name: SRVTS05
IP: 192.168.1.105
Using Bridged NIC of Vmware GSX 2.5
Only one NIC in NLB farm

NLB Parameters:
Cluster IP: 192.168.1.120
FQDN: ts_cluster.evaluation.local

What have I done:
- - set on both nodes the correct Network Load Balancing properties
- - add on both nodes the cluster ip address as "secundairy" IP adres
on the NIC
- - Play with filtering modes, port range, ...=3D3D20

After the configuration there are no IP conflicts etc. only problem
is that the server with the last ID (e.g. 2) has no IP connection to
the network. So after configuring this last node I can't ping other
machines on the network. When I disable Network Loadbalancing en
remove the cluster IP address from the TCP/IP properties other
servers can be pinged.

I did read several NLB articles...
Any ideas ?
With regards,
Ruben

Can you give a better layout of what you have configured?  I.E. How many

=3D3D3D NIC's defined within Vmware, sample IP address scheme, etc.
