Que sistemas operativos soportan VMXNET ? ...no todos

  • VMXNET 3 — The VMXNET 3 adapter is the next generation of a paravirtualized NIC designed for performance, and is not related to VMXNET or VMXNET 2. It offers all the features available in VMXNET 2, and adds several new features like multiqueue support (also known as Receive Side Scaling in Windows), IPv6 offloads, and MSI/MSI-X interrupt delivery.

    VMXNET 3 is supported only for virtual machines version 7 and later, with a limited set of guest operating systems:

    • 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows XP,7, 2003, 2003 R2, 2008, and 2008 R2
    • 32- and 64-bit versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 and later
    • 32- and 64-bit versions of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and later
    • 32- and 64-bit versions of Asianux 3 and later
    • 32- and 64-bit versions of Debian 4
    • 32- and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu 7.04 and later
    • 32- and 64-bit versions of Sun Solaris 10 U4 and later
    Notes:
    • Jumbo frames are not supported in Solaris Guest OS with VMXNET 2 or VMXNET 3.
    • Fault Tolerance is not supported on a virtual machine configured with a VMXNET 3 vNIC in vSphere 4.0, but is fully supported on vSphere 4.1.
