Tips and Caveats for Reservations
• More guardrails = less fluidity in the data center
• The best designs are simple
• Are you solving a problem?
![Page 23: VMworld 2015: vSphere Distributed Switch 6 –Technical Deep Dive](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070603/586fcd8b1a28aba24c8b754d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Traffic Placement Engine• Places VM’s network adapter on optimal NIC• Must be able to meet reservation• Still adheres to teaming policies Active, standby, and unused
• Two control points Distributed Port Group (all VMs attached) Virtual Machine (per VM)
![Page 24: VMworld 2015: vSphere Distributed Switch 6 –Technical Deep Dive](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070603/586fcd8b1a28aba24c8b754d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Bandwidth Admission Control• Validation at VM power on Must meet minimum bandwidth to VM’s network adapter Reservation is less than the free quota in the pool
• Changes are validated in real time Violations prevents change from applying
![Page 25: VMworld 2015: vSphere Distributed Switch 6 –Technical Deep Dive](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070603/586fcd8b1a28aba24c8b754d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

DRS will migrate when …• Reservation exceeds host
capacity• NIC fails
vSphere HA
HA considers the reservations when powering on a VM

Bandwidth reservation is based on network adapter quantity and speedDo the math!
0.5 Gbps per NICx 6 NICs (2 per server)
= 3.0 Gbps globally

Cross vSwitch vMotion• Choose destination network when vMotioning VMs• Can go between
vSS to vSS vSS to vDS vDS to vDS
• Note that vDS to vSS is NOT supported vDS includes metadata that vSS doesn’t support
• Does NOT change IP address
![Page 37: VMworld 2015: vSphere Distributed Switch 6 –Technical Deep Dive](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070603/586fcd8b1a28aba24c8b754d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Cross vCenter vMotion• vMotion VMs from one vCenter to
another Must be in same SSO domain
• Supports shared or shared nothing storage configurations
• Even migrates things such as HA settings DRS settings Alarms Events
![Page 38: VMworld 2015: vSphere Distributed Switch 6 –Technical Deep Dive](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070603/586fcd8b1a28aba24c8b754d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Other Requirements• Must be on Enterprise Plus licensing!
• vCenter Servers must be in Enhanced Linked Mode
• Make sure you have good time sync of the vCenters
![Page 39: VMworld 2015: vSphere Distributed Switch 6 –Technical Deep Dive](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070603/586fcd8b1a28aba24c8b754d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Long Distance vMotion• Can now vMotion across links up to *150ms* of
latency! No more 10ms limit!
• Keep in mind that this can affect VM application performance
Do this in non-peak hours
