  Hello

  Not really...

  For an environment hosted... If you can access the console of the host, you can always access the console of the virtual machine regardless of the State of the network outside of the console. VMware Workstation, Fusion and server all fall into this category.

  For ESXi/ESX... you need a host outside to access the console of the virtual machine. ESX and ESXi not displayed graphics or VMs of their consoles and management devices. So, you need an external machine that can run the vSphere Client or access to the virtual machine via RDP, VNC according to Guest OS involved or SSH.

• Check if a virtual machine has connected network and connect if it isn't?

  Thus, creating a big deployment VM automation workflow, I need a way to check and make sure that the deployed virtual computer has its connected network. However, I can't seem to find a way to generate scripts which correctly. Any ideas?

  Hello

  There are different strategies. Look at the 'vim3waitDNSNameInTools' action, it waits until the virtual machine arrives with a given host name. Which ensures that this customization is done completely.

  Alternatively you can ping the virtual computer by using the System.isHostReachable () method, find an example here: Ping on the workflow server

  (I remember there were some problems with this method in previous versions, be sure to properly test ;-))

  Another strategy might be to use the operations of comments and call a ping of in the guest operating system (with which you shall vro network connection to the virtual machine itself, you can for example leave the guest operating system ping the address of the gateway or so)

• Help to get a list of virtual machines with switch network and name

  I'm trying to get a simple list of virtual machines on a single host and include their name and networkname.

  When I run this Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"}, I get the virtual machines with their name.  When I run this Get-networkadapter - vm Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"} I download news network with the name of the network, which is what im after. "  I want to combine these 2 commands and get vm name and network name in a csv.  The network name is the Group of ports, the VM is affected change settings for example, it could be vlan10 or what you named your group of ports in the switch DV.  I've attached a screenshot of the orders successfully.

  Hello, brisketx-

  You could do a little more efficiently by getting first the VMHost (s) that are of interest, then get their virtual machines and then using a computed property for the names of network for virtual machines.  As:

  Get-VMHost esx.local | Get-VM |    Select-Object Name, @{n="NetworkName"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | %{$_.NetworkName}) -join ","}}
  

  You can then, of course, lead to Export-Csv to write the data to a CSV file.  How does do for you?

• Sharing of virtual machines and the NETWORK adapter settings

  I usually have multiple NICs per physical machine, and I often map more than one NETWORK card in a virtual machine. This does all work well with 'regular' virtual machines and virtual network Editor. I use 10.0.1 on linux 64-bit Workstation.

  As soon as I share a virtual machine, the NIC mappings cannot be changed in any useful way. I can spend only NAT, HostOnly and connected by a bridge in a ComboBox control, without the ability to select a specific vmnet. Although connections are bridged, they are displayed as NAT, which makes no sense at all...

  What is the reason for this? I'm doing something wrong? If this is the intended behavior, it's shared VMs useless for me...

  Kind regards

  Thomas

  I reinstalled VMware Workstation and now I understand what happened.

  I need ever - and HostOnly-setting in NAT network, so the first thing I usually do after installing VMware is to remove them and fills vmnet0 to eth0 and eth1 to vmnet1. This works perfectly well with non-shared virtual machines.

  For shared virtual computers, this mapping has been messed up somehow. Now it seems to work fine, I removed all the vmnets and has created vmnet10-> eth0 and vmnet11-> eth1.

  If the problem is solved for me; but I can't say how the maps I screwed up. I certainly had two bridged devices, but has been shown only a single bridged device.

• Create multiple virtual machines with 2 network cards

  Hey guys -.

  Been researching some scripts of difference but did not find one who will help me in my situation.

  I'm looking for a script that will allow me to clone model and apply network settings to 2 network cards.

  1 clone Vms + 20 model

  2 Let me send it to a particular lun (using a few LUNS to available)

  3. choose a custom unique specification

  4. apply intellectual property on 2 NICs (primary and backup).

  Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

  Thank you

  Sorry to lose this thread out of my sight.

  What follows is an attempt to meet all the conditions you listed.

  $numberOfVM = 20$baseVMName = "VM"$templateName = "Template"$osCustName = "MyCust"$IPBase1 = "192.168.1."$IPBase2 = "192.168.2."$IPMask = "255.255.255.0"$IPGate1 = "192.168.1.254"$IPGate2 = "192.168.2.254"$IPDns1 = "192.168.1.100"$IPDns2 = "192.168.2.100"
  
  # Target resourcepool$resPool = Get-ResourcePool -Name Resources
  
  # Get the template$template = Get-Template -Name $templateName
  
  # Create a copy of the OS Customisation SpecTry {    Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name tempOSCust |    Remove-OSCustomizationSpec -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction Stop}Catch {}
  
  $osCust = Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name $osCustName |     New-OSCustomizationSpec -Name tempOSCust -Type NonPersistent
  
  # Clone the number of requested VM1..$numberOfVm | %{    # Find the datastore with the most free space    $ds = Get-Datastore | Sort-Object -Property FreeSpaceGB -Descending |        Select -First 1
  
      # Update the OS Customisation Spec NIC parts with the IP addresses    Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping -OSCustomizationSpec $osCust |    Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping -Position 1 -IpMode UseStaticIP -IpAddress "$IPBase1$_" `        -SubnetMask $IPMask -DefaultGateway $IPGate1 -Dns $IPDns1 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
  
      Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping -OSCustomizationSpec $osCust |    Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping -Position 2 -IpMode UseStaticIP -IpAddress "$IPBase2$_" `        -SubnetMask $IPMask -DefaultGateway $IPGate2 -Dns $IPDns2 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
  
      # Create the new VM    New-VM -Name "$baseVMName$_" -Template $template -OSCustomizationSpec $osCust `        -Datastore $ds -ResourcePool $resPool  | Out-Null}
  

  The script will create clones of $numberOfVM of the model. The virtual machines will be created at the root of the bunch, and they will be called VM1, VM2...

  The OSCustomizationSpec needs to exist and must have 2 network cards.

  The script finds the data store with more free space to create each virtual computer.

  Addresses IP of NIC are consecutive, for example on NIC1 you get 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2... and so on.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

• Doubts about cloning/migrating off the virtual machines on the network

  Hello

  I'm going to have some problems of connection while cloning/migration power VMs on different hosts on ESXi5 off. I don't know is this procedure for moving a VM off will use the vMotion network, or just the normal management. I have a lot of is speeds when copying VMs on several different hosts, so I wonder what I could do to make sure that the speeds are overfished? I have all the hosts that are connected on a gbit switch.

  Thank you!

  Yes, two links are used, even when you vMotion a single virtual machine. Here is an official KB article.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2007467

  A quick test (only VM vMotion) confirms this, as evidenced by the performance tables;

  Source (transmit - these two vmnic is used);

  

  Destination (receiving -serve two vmnic);

  

  See you soon,.

• Help to connect two virtual machines to internal network

  Hi all

  I have 9 of VMware Workstation, and I installed two identical WinXP VMs. I put them both on the same custom netowrk (VMnet3) setting. In the virtual network on my Win7 host editor I updated VMnet3 'Host-only (connect VMs internally in a private network)', and I have left empty the box "Connect an adapter to the virtual host to this network".

  What I'm trying to do is to connect the two virtual WinXP only between them, a small connection internal, so that a VM could ping on the other virtual computer, but cannot connect to my Win7 (real internet) host.

  Now both show WinXP that they are connected (the icon of the internet with two small screens is there), and they both have an IP assigned. However, does not ping one of them to another IP address.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Firewall is turn on the Windows XP machine?

• Two virtual machines always "using network", while the rest of the cluster is "using SCSI hot add.

  The testing of VDR 1.2 in a cluster 4.1 with around 60 virtual servers.

  I have two Windows Server 2008 R2 VMs who is always using the network, with a full tank and after that all incremental backups.

  Nothing matches the conditions of the related knowledge base article and there are several other 2008 R2 servers deployed from the same template that uses SCSI hot add.

  The only thing that differs from the other virtual machines, it is that both are mailbox servers in a cluster, Exchange 2010 DAG.

  Check the block size for VMFS data store where the VDR-appliance is running. If the larger disk of your virtual machine is greater than the maximum file size of supportet on the VMFS where the VDR, VDR uses the network instead of add to hot. Move another VMFS-store data in big block with the VDR solves the problem in my environment. Also, in this case when the disk you lorsque le disque vous sauvegardez back up is a RAW device physikal mode, which should be ignored for VDR, VDR, but makes the network backup of the other disk of this virtual machine.

• Is it possible to create a virtual machine on a network share?

  I have a server from SuSE 11 running samba to share files and directories files in my PC XP x 64. I installed VMware Player on my XP machine and went through the steps to create a virtual machine on my SuSE server. Vmx and vmdk files is create successfully, but when I try to start the virtual machine I get the message: ' could not open the virtual machine: you don't have access rights to this file. " However VirtualBox (also installed on my XP machine) doesn't have this problem. Indeed, I created the virtual machine of player in the same shared directory I use for my VirtualBox VM to eliminate the permissions on the linux side issues. Is this a limitation of the player?

  Kind regards

  Unfortunately, for me, it would not solve my problem. My problem is that I have to allow the IP addresses and aliases on my Server LDAP (with Openfiler) to give them access to my network share. I am able to access my Windows XP operating system network sharing. When I run Ubuntu in a virtual machine, I am able to access the network share here as well. But when the Player tries to access a virtual computer on the network, it gets the message "access denied." That tells me that my SIN is either see a different IP or ID different from the drive. I can see all network (including virtual) cards, and I welcomed them into my LDAP. So, for me, that means that somehow the player is trying to access my network share with some other than the user ID, I am connected to my computer with.

  To test, I will set up one of my linux boxes, install Player it and see if it has the same problem to access a network share. Then who will tell me if it is perhaps a shade of Windows Networking/authentication, or if it is OS independent and everything in the player.

  Would be nice if I could get a logfile out Openfiler (or any application) which showed when an unauthorized access attempt was made. Then I could easily get the user ID and IP address and add it to the LDAP server. But, alas, I was not able to find such a newspaper or a tool that will do it.

• Updated since VM Server-> 2 1 now one of virtual machines has no network connection

  After installation and the upgrade of the vm and vm tools there always no network connectivity. There is an another VM on the host with this particular virtual machine and it works fine. troubled virtual machine, you cannot ping the host machine and the host as well as anything else on the network cannot ping the machine... I have add an another network card deck (primary level is filled with a static IP address) and the second bridged was able to pull an IP address via DHCP, but once again the machine is always not available... any ideas?

  There is probably no firewall clutter it? Can you post ' ipconfig/all' output of a malfunction prompted and the host? You have virtual machines that work ok?

  I saw a problem once, in which case a virtual machine can obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, but later would give "Destination unreachable" for any other than herself ping. Turned out to be a problem with the IPSec service (so a Windows issue rather than an a VMware). See more post on this topic:

  I have a class with a small network, Windows 2000 server with Active Directory and 30 workstations. During the student newspaper of day in different categories-topics.

  I would like that to a different VM to load at the newspaper, which is depends on the class to prevent access to the programs, they use students.

  The question is, is this a good idea and if so what is necessary to accomplish?

• How to activate the Internet connection on Windows Server 2003 is installed in the virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8?

  I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8. I need it to learn and practice the use of the Active Directory. I've also set up 3 Windows XP workstations connect to it, which means that they can communicate with Server 2003. What is lacking is the Internet connection on all of them. When I run ping 8.8.8.8 in one of these virtual machines, I get, 'Destination host unreachable.'

  I'm not sure, what if the problem comes from the settings in Windows or the settings of the virtual machine.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you, guys. I was finally able to put in place. It was quite an ordeal to deal with IP addresses and virtual networks. Here's how I did (in the screenshots) in case someone else needs it.

  (I also confess that it is perhaps one of the ways to implement. Maybe there is an easier way to do it with DHCP...)

  1. in your computer where is installed VMware Workstation 8 begin the "Virtual Network Editor." It is located in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation. And implement the network following (VMnet2 in my case):

  

  2 then in VMware Workstation itself in the virtual machine when Windows Server 2003 is installed set up two network as connections:

  This one is for external access to the Internet:

  

  And this one for intranet communications AD:

  

  3. then in the machine virtual de Windows Server 2003 set up what follows for two network adapters:

  For Internet access:

  

  Then, you need allow this connection to share:

  

  And then for the ad access to workstations (ensure that the static IP address is in the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor). I've also set up DNS to 127.0.0.1 because I installed on this Windows 2003 DNS server:

  

  4. from the Windows 2003 VM try ping 8.8.8.8. It should work now.

  5. go to each workstation, in my case, Windows XP, each in its own virtual machine and set up the network in the VMware Workstation as follows:

  

  6. then in the virtual machine, configure the network connection for Windows XP workstation. Don't forget to assign a new static IP address for each workstation, which not coinside with IP of the domain (this IP address must come from the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor):

  

  7. try first ping the domain, in my case ping 192.168.237.128. And then Internet, ping 8.8.8.8. The two should work!

  Continue with steps [5-7].
