Issue/Introduction
By default, PAM servers are configured to use E1000e Network adapter on Vmware server. If there is a need to use VMXNET 3 network adapter, for example, to standardize and for better network performance, is it possible to change the configuration in Vmware server for PAM to use VMXNET 3?
Environment
PAM 3.x
Vmware
Vsphere
Vmware
Vsphere
Resolution
VMXNET 3 network adapter should work fine with PAM as we have seen a few other sites using it. The possible issue is if MAC is changed. There is a command to change from E1000 to VMXNET3 without changing MACs: Get-VM "vmname" | get-networkAdapter | Where { $_.Type -eq "E1000"} | set-NetworkAdapter -Type "vmxnet3" -NetworkName "Network Adapter 1" The details about this command can be seen here: https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/PowerCLI/PowerCLI55R2/html/Set-NetworkAdapter.html
