So now that we have DHCP services,
we should be able to place VMs on these three networks
and verify that they get an IP address,
they can connect to the internet,
and they can also resolve names
leveraging this DNS server up here that's currently in place.
This also gives a great opportunity right now
to do troubleshooting should any of this connectivity not work.
And again, it's better to figure it out now
than have some weird error later
where the whole problem was due
to basic infrastructure not being in place.
So without further ado, let's go to the vSphere client WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So without further ado, let's go to the vSphere client
and let's place a VM on each of the subnets and test it.
So here back at the vSphere client,
let me just take a look at my entire laundry list of VMs
and let me see if I have one we can currently use.
So if we didn't have a VM, we could simply deploy one.
Here I've got some tiny VMs,
they are even appropriately named tiny Linux on 10, 11, 11
and 10, 12, 12 and 10, 13, 13.
However, I'm not sure that they're on the right subnets or not.
So let's go to the network tab here
and let's first go to VLAN 11, that port group. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
and let's first go to VLAN 11, that port group.
And then from here, go to VMs,
I'm gonna minimize the recent tasks.
And currently I've got no VMs there at all.
So let's see where are those guys hanging out.
I think they're hanging out right here.
All right, so there they are.
So let me grab this tiny little VM here
that's currently on this port group.
And let me right click on that port group
and migrate VMs to another network.
And let's go ahead and migrate over to management VLAN 11,
click on next, we'll grab that one little VM right there WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
click on next, we'll grab that one little VM right there
and click on next.
And that's gonna very quickly and easily move
that little VM over.
And it says some tasks could not be completed.
So the problem with VM is that it currently is
being supported on Blue One, which is in maintenance mode.
And it also has its files on the data store on Blue One.
So let me go ahead and let me take those other three ESXi hosts.
I'm gonna go to host here and select all of them, right click.
And let's say you can all come out of maintenance mode right now.
So we'll exit maintenance mode, click on yes. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So we'll exit maintenance mode, click on yes.
And then I'll simply go ahead and migrate that VM over to,
let's say, Blue Four or five or six.
So we'll go back to the VM and templates view,
grab that little Linux machine, right click and do a migrate.
And let's change both compute resource and storage,
click on next and let me go ahead and place this on Blue Four
and click on next.
And for storage, let's go ahead and put on a shared data store.
Let's use iSCSI 2 and I'll use thin provisioning in my lab here
and click on next. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
and click on next.
And for the actual network, we wanna put that
on the management network.
So we'll go ahead and say VDS1, VLAN 11 Management Network.
That's our port group name, click on next and click on finish.
All right.
And let's take this one here that has the name
of Tiny Linux 10, 12, 12.
We'll right click and make sure it's on a host four, five or six.
And also on a shared data store.
So we'll go ahead and change both compute resource and storage.
And currently it's on Blue One, DS1 being hosted by Blue One WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
And currently it's on Blue One, DS1 being hosted by Blue One
and let's click on next.
And let's go ahead and let's get a host for nap
and let's put on five as an example, click on next
and then we'll choose a shared data store.
iSCSI 2 will work and do thin provisioning.
That's great next.
And then we'll put this guy on VLAN 12
by using that port group there and clicking on next.
And then finish, great, great, great.
And then with the same thing for 13 right here, right click,
go to migrate and we'll change storage
and the compute resource, click on next.
Let's put that on host six and click on next. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
Let's put that on host six and click on next.
We'll choose iSCSI 2 once again
and also specify we want a thin provisioning and click on next.
And then we'll put this guy on VLAN 13 and click on next.
All right, that looks good.
We'll click on finish.
And then just to verify, put those on the right subnets.
Let's go back to our networking tab here
and if we go to VLAN 11 port group and go to VMs,
perfect, let me power that one on.
So we'll power that on.
And let's go to the front end here to that network.
And there's this tiny Linux.
We'll right click, right click, great, great, great, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
We'll right click, right click, great, great, great,
power it on.
And then if we go to VLAN 13 and there is no,
I thought we moved it there.
I must not have.
Let's go back and fix that.
So let's go to this tiny Linux 10, 13, 13, right click.
Well, migrate and I'm going to change everything on that.
So I want to put that on blue six and I want to put that
on the eyes because you to data store, thin provisioning.
And I want this one on VLAN 13, which I thought I did before WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
And I want this one on VLAN 13, which I thought I did before
but must not have click on next and finish.
Oh, you know what?
Maybe I picked the other VM I did.
Okay.
So I relocated the mint on 10, 13 and that's still going.
So when we're done, we're going to have the tiny Linux
and also mint Linux, which is a slightly bigger distribution.
And that's why it's still taking a little bit more time.
All right, fair enough.
So now if we go back to the networking tab here for VLAN 11,
I've got this little VM for VLAN 12.
I've got this little VM and for VLAN 13,
I've got this little VM and the mint is on its way. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
I've got this little VM and the mint is on its way.
Fantastic.
So let me power this on and let's test.
So we'll go to power, power on and let me bring up remote
consoles to all three of those VMs.
So we'll start with this one, we'll launch a remote console.
In fact, let me get a console to each one of those
and then we'll do some quick testing.
All right, so here is our first one right here.
In fact, let me go ahead and make that a little bit bigger.
So we'll do an IF config just to make sure it got an IP address
and it did, then we'll do a ping.
Let's go to www.vmware.com.
(laughs)
That looks great. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
That looks great.
So it did name resolution via the server up at 10.10.10.100.
So we did a ping to 10.10.10.100.
That also confirms connectivity up there as well.
Fantastic.
So from a DNS perspective and from a basic internet access
from the VLAN 11, we are good to go.
So let me go ahead and move that to the side.
And let's try VM in VLAN 12.
Those do a ping out to Google.com.
Yeah, sure enough, it's working, that's great.
And let's also test from VLAN 13. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
And let's also test from VLAN 13.
So here's our little VLAN 13 machine
and we'll do a ping out to www.cbtnuggets.com.
And that's working great, fantastic.
