Adding a new interface vmnet to VMware Server 2.0 via command line

Hello

I am running the following:

# vmware vmware - v snake

VMware Server 2.0.0 build-122956

Snake vmware # uname-a

Snake vmware # cat/etc/redhat-release

Release of centOS 5.2 (Final)

I'm having problems trying to add a new switch Virutal. I go about it the wrong way - or is she even care?

The reason for this - I want to set up an new HostOnly adapter on the system. I don't see a way to do this via the VI Web Access console.

I am more happy to be told RTFM, if the appropriate section of the FM is highlighted

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Kevin

I'm not supported, but there is little valuable documentation on this unfortunately set command.

To change the network, such as the addition of interfaces more host-only, simply launch vmware - config.pl even if doing so requires all VMs running to be break-stop unfortunately.

  • VMWare Player startup with the command line command does not work!

    Hello everyone,

    I'm new to the community and it will probably show. So, I say sorry in advance for the flaws, I'll do. Since I am of German native language I need to translate it into English. So, I could use special terms wrong, but I'll certainly try to avoid this. Just keep in mind. And now my question:

    I was running VMware Player 3.0 with VMware Tools installed and VMware VIX 1.8.0 installed on a host of Win7 Ultimate 64-bit. The Useraccount on the host has administrator rights. Guest operating system is WinXP SP3. Since I need two softwares of different recording/Dictation on my workstation and I could only one of them simultaneously open (which is very uncomfortable, when you need to change frequently), because those two were always challenging who got to use the microphone, I installed a second microphone (that only the application for the two contest) and then created a virtual machine to run the software second with one of the two microphones connected only to the prompt. (Directly/comfortably) to start the second software I created a. LNK shortcut file (and attached to the startmenu) who run the command

    Departure of player "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware" t "C:\Users\USERPROFILE\Eigene virtual Computer\Recorder Windows XP Pro Windows XP Pro SP3.vmx VM SP3\Recorder VM.

    with the recorder VM "VM Windows XP Pro SP3" opening the second software automatically (autostart).

    This worked well, until I updated my VMware Player to 3.0.1. Since the update however, my shortcut file simply is unable to start the virtual machine. However, starting the virtual machine of VMWare Player normal window still works. By running the command mentioned above constitute the command line prompt, I got the information, this vmrun.exe could not connect to the host, due to an error, the specified version is not found, which probably means that the VMware Player.

    P:\ & gt; "" Player t C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware VIX\vmrun.exe "start"C:\Use ".

    virtual rs\USERPROFILE\Eigene Computer\Recorder VM Windows XP Pro SP3\Record

    ER VM Windows XP Pro SP3.vmx"

    Unable to connect to the host.

    Error: The specified version is not found

    P:\ & gt;

    I tried the VMware VIX update (from 1.8.0 to 1.8.1) without success. The errormessage even remains.

    The three relevant paths for VMware Player, VMware Vix and the VM are spezified in the systemvariable path as follows:

    % SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\; "" C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware VIX ". "" C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Player.

    Today suddenly wrong?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Trying to access the web interface installation of VMware Server 2 running on Enterprise Linux 5 update 2 64-bit

    Previous Firefox 3.0.11 version was able to connect and log in successfully.

    This will result in a blank page is displayed.

  • Cannot save the virtual machine in VMWare Server 2

    Hi all:

    I created a VM (12.1 OpenSuSE 32bits) in VMWare Workstation 7; then I copied it to a host VMWare Server 2.

    When I try to save the virtual machine via the web, the server fails (or at least interrupts the response from Web page), so I tried to save it via command line.

    After searching a bit I found this:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1006160

    The question is now that I can't find any vmware-cmd anywhere, and when I run vmware-vim-cmd I get the following error:

    vmh2: / data/vmachines/postgresql-box # vim - vmware - cmd solo/registervm /data/vmines/postgresql-box/postgresql-box.vmx
    Connection failed: vim.fault.NoPermission

    So I'm stuck... someone can help me?

    BTW: what is ESX, ESXi and what version of ESXi is included in VMWare Server 2?

    Thank you very much

    Luis

    I can't tell you exactly what are the causes of the problem. What I would try (a solution) is to create a new virtual machine in VMware Server with the same specifications as the original one, then copy the two files hard in the new virtual machine folder and edit the .vmx file for the new VM 'OpenSuSE - 12.1 - cl1 - 000001.vmdk' use as its virtual drive.

  • Configure a virtual firewall VMWare Server 2

    Hello

    I'm configuring a virtual machine which will act as a firewall ISA Server. The machine is now running on a physical machine. I used VMWare Converter to change it to a virtual machine. However, I am unable to set up the configuration of the network. For after this post: http://www.cs.drexel.edu/~vp/VirtualFirewall/ I should create a network invited only to the internal network and a connection open in the external network.

    This last little is where the problems come. The external network has a mask of 255.255.255.252 network, so I have only 2 IP address in the network: 1 the host machine and the other is for the default gateway. Implementation of bridged networks is therefore not an option. I tried setting up guest network only on the external interface, but then VMWare server is unbootable. (The DCHP server on/dev/vmet1 does not start).

    Operation of the machine I have RHEL 5 host OS. It has 2 physical NIC, 1 connected to the internal network and externally 1. Is there perhaps a way to Server2 VM I can ask the network adapter connected to the external network exclusively for this virtual machine? Or is there maybe a better way to implement?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    You can use fill or NAT if you need to communicate outside the host. You cannot configure 'host-only' on the physical map, because this isn't 'host-only' more.

    If you cannot use open due to lack of IP addresses (as a virtual bridged interface needs its own IP address) you can use NAT. In this case, the host acts as a NAT proxy to the client (your firewall). To the outside world only the IP address of the will be visible. The customer will receive an IP address from the VMnet8 virtual network (if you are using DHCP, you can use a static IP address in the range of addresses network IP VMnet8).

    But you must forward packets to the port prompt if there is no communication initiated from the outside at the prompt.

  • VMware Player 6.0.1: Howto from command line, for example, where is vmrun?

    Hello

    I installed VMware Player 6.0.1 on openSUSE 3.1 by using the serial number that I received with Fusion Professional 6.0.2.

    Virtual machines spin if they are started through the user interface, but I would like first of all to them via command line.

  • Could not load the interface Web VMware Server 2

    Hello

    It seems that there have been a number of users has a problem similar to mine. Unfortunately so far it seems not be an easy fix. A few weeks ago, I downloaded VMware Server 2.0.2 and installed on my Ubuntu 8.04 Server. Surprisingly, it worked very well and I set up a virtual machine via the web interface. It took 3 weeks later I started having problems. Or, when I tried to access the web interface through the browser page just came not upward or it came I have connected, but then was then put on the door.

    Initially, I have done the following but doesn't seem to help.

    -Reboot the system

    -Restart all vmware services

    -Delete all cookies and cache.

    Then I thought that this question had to do with the process of webaccess. It seems that the process was not because for a very short period of time, the connection appeared and I was able to connect. But after a short period of time, it displays an error and then the connection was unreachable again.

    I checked the port 8308 below:

    netstat - LNP | grep: 8308

    TCP 0 0 0.0.0.0:8308 0.0.0.0: * LISTEN 5754/webAccess

    Here is the response from audit ipv6:

    netstat - LNP | grep tcp6

    ping6-c1 localhost

    Unknown host

    I disabled it by changing of ipv6 on off in the etc/modprobe.d/aliases.

    My hosts file resembles the following:

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    127.0.1.1 web web.cinci.rr.com

    The following lines are desirable for the hosts with IPv6 support

    : 1 localhost ip6 ip6-loopback

    FE00::0 ip6-localnet

    FF00::0 ip6-mcastprefix

    FF02::1 ip6-allnodes

    FF02::2 ip6-allrouters

    FF02::3 ip6-allhosts

    I have attached the file proxy.log. I saw a few exceptions so don't know if this has to do with the problem.

    Also, I've included the hostd.log (it's in a zip archive because there are a few files of newspapers spend). I have

Removal and resettlement seem to succeed. After a reboot and an attempt to access the interface web it STILL didn't work. I'm really at a loss right now. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • VMWARE Server 2 and Red Hat 5.4 Interface Web ES crashes

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    I came across the same issue last week. This is the background I and fix that made me backup for now.

    It seems that vmware provides their own libraries for some of what they need and that there may be a bad interaction between that and RHEL 5.4 libraries updated.

    The FIX:

    yum downgrade glibc glibc-common

    Delete it / come back about 22 packages/dependencies. Then I restarted and re - represented vmware-config and functions of each thing. Note You must change your configuration of yum update so that it is not pushing the new glibc glibc-common until this problem gets solved official.
