To do so, you can modify the /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh script.
You need to use esxcli again to configure the virtual switch after each reboot. Again, VMware Flings has something for us! You need to reconfigure them after every reboot. This is by design and because the USB network adapter are not up yet when the ESX configure the Virtual Switches. Note: I put my package at the root of the disk (/)Īfter between 3 to 5 minutes, the package is install and returns this:ġ Gbit/s, youhou! But hey! I lost my Switch config! You can find a pretty interesting one for our case: Īfter downloading the “Fling” and upload it to the ESXi, you can deploy the package using the following command:Įsxcli software vib install -d /ESXi700-VMKUSB-NIC-FLING-34491022-component-15873236.zip The VMware office of CTO is running a cool website VMware Flings where you can find “apps and tools built by their engineers and community that are intended to be explored”. Realtek USB 101001000 LAN! Let’s see if we can do something for this limited bandwidth! It allows you to see the actual speed and the chipset in like in this screenshot: When you plug one of them on your ESX (I’m running 7.0), it is recognized automatically:ġ00 Mbit/s? WTF? 🙂 Let’s check it using in the CLI!įrom an SSH session, launch the command esxcli network nic list. I bought 6 x this package on Amazon at less than 10€ each… The only option you have is to use the USB ports and some USB network adapters and that’s what I did to gave each of my NUC 2 more NICs. Even if it can be enough for most of the scenarios, a 2nd (or a 3rd )) one can be interesting. The installation consist of a VMware vSAN cluster and one of limitation is the NUC comes only with one 1 GB network adapter. When building (or rebuilding) a home lab, sometimes, you need to limit the size and noise and having a 42U rack is not always possible! In my case, my home lab consist of a 3 Intel NUC “cluster”.
