In the first article it seems to me that the issue is with vMottion (I remember another article which referred to vShield) or the usage of too many ports. The other link you gave me contains just an empty sheet (even after registering and login I saw no more).
But this is just the first port I want to use.
I tried now to reinstall the VMWare guest tools in an older version.
http://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/5.1p01/rhel6/index.html
Because the manual says sometihing "don't take the latest - they won't work. So I tried 5.1p01 now but unfortuately the result is the same.
I wonder whether it has anything to do with this vswitch stuff. Currentyly it looks line this:
Switch Name Num Ports Used Ports Configured Ports MTU Uplinks
vSwitch0 128 4 128 1500 vmnic0
PortGroup Name VLAN ID Used Ports Uplinks
VM Network 0 0 vmnic0
Management Network 0 1 vmnic0
Is there anything one has to assign or configure about all this or should it work "out of the box"?
It is also not clear to me what "Used = 4" means. Does it mean that I have 4 ports in usage? If yes: what ports? From what I understand there is an uplink and the port I use for my VM.
In my vmx file I just put this:
ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.startConnected = "TRUE"
ethernet0.pciSlotNumber = "-1"
ethernet0.virtualDev="vmxnet"
ethernet0.networkName="ACS"
ethernet0.addressType="generated"
ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged"
But as I said I triied with other combinations.
Unfortunatly the output of the logfile is of now much use for me since I don't have experience on this.
