20 Virtual Network Implementation
3 The parent partition virtual network adapter is connected to the
virtual switch.
4 The virtual switch is connected to the physical network adapter that
you enabled for external network access.
Disadvantages
• The second adapter in the parent partition can cause host connectivity
issues. These issues include multiple DNS entries, delayed or incomplete
NetBIOS resolution, and routing confusion.
• The multiple parent partition network adapter causes delayed NetBIOS
resolution or incomplete network browsing. Multiple browsing lists are
associated with each network adapter.
Figure 4-3 shows the logical representation of the external virtual network
configuration. This diagram shows two VMs, the parent partition, and one
physical network adapter connected to the virtual switch.
