• How to assign the IP address of the virtual machine on VMware Server 2.0.

  Hey guys,.

  I've been busy, actually not really busy, spent my whole day with this problem... I could just find the same solution I am looking for all the documents...

  I have a VMware Server 2.0 installed on CentOS 5.2, and I have 5 dedicated IP address or static with this server...

  Now, I created a VM with CentOS 4.7 for testing purposes, but I don't know how assing one of the IP address for this virtual machine.

  I want to just that my VM to be accessible from external internet connections...

  I have;

  64.XX.XX.218

  64.XX.XX.219

  64.XX.XX.220

  64.XX.XX.221

  64.XX.XX.222

  assigned IP address. First of all it is belong to the main server dedicated, I would attribute the 220 IP to my VM, but how? It's worth it to me...

  Any help will be much appreciated...

  Okay, that means, is not in your server room.

  Your computer has several available ethernet network interfaces: eth0, eth0: 0,

  eth0: 1, eth0:2, eth0:3. Which do you want to bridge vmnet0?

  Your server has only one physical ethernet interface. But there are multiple ip addresses configured on it. If you want to know, how it works and how it is configured, you can read this page.

  You need to reconfigure your network VMware Server 2 to fill the other or several networks. VMware Server documentation is explained on p. 222 and following. In fact, for linux, it is page 229 and includes 'ifconfig' to know what special device (eth0: 0...) what IP address, then run ' vmware - config.pl ' is used to assign the new configuration. But please read the documentation for more details.

• Example to retrieve the IP address of the virtual machine

  Hi, I would like to know if there is any sample to create a script to run to retrieve the ip address of the virtual machine instead of enter orders via the powercli console?  Thanks in advance.

  Hello, tayky-

  You can use the Guest.IpAddress of the virtual computer object property, such as:

  Get-VM myVM | select name, @{n="IPs"; e={$_.Guest.IpAddress}}
  

  In general, if you don't want to run the commands themselves sticking them in PowerShell, you can only save in a script file and run this PowerShell script.  Say, save the command above in a script file, "c:\temp\getIPsForMyVM.ps1" and then run the PowerShell script as a file:

  PS C:\> . c:\temp\getIPsForMyVM.ps1
  

  This is called "supply point" script file.  You can get more information about it by getting help on "about_operators" in PowerShell.

• IP address of the virtual machine by host

  Hi team,

  I use VMware-player - 3.1.1 - 282343 on my host machine - Microsoft windows XP.

  My guest OS is FreeBSD 7.1 that iam works with VMware Player.

  I know my IP address of the virtual machine by typing ifconfig in terminal virtual machine.

  Is there a way I can get this IP of my host computer? or in another way, may I know the IP address of my virtual machine since my windows OS (host)?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Sandeep,

  You can take a look to the following file:

• How to find the IP address of the virtual machines from the host Linux

  Hello

  Y at - it a tool that can resolve the IP address of the linux host running VMS, when using NAT and DHCP networking?

  I can find by logging on virtual machines, but I need to retrieve automatically these addresses for the host scripts will not have to be changed manually when IPs change.

  Thank you

  Host: Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, WS6.5

  Probably the easiest solution is to use static IP addresses... Having said that, what I meant was:

  Each machine (real and virtual) has a unique MAC address. If I create a file (database type) with the name and the MAC address of each virtual machine, then I could use nmap or arp commands to get the IP address. For example, I create a table and put it in a file like this:

  VMName1 00:14:BF:19:45:61

  VMName2 00:0E:5 C: 1 has: 44:1E

  Name of the machine 3. etc.

  Then I could run a combination of arp and/or nmap to find the MAC address of active machines and their respective IP addresses. For example, running:

  sudo nmap - sP 10.0.2.0/24

  This gives on my local network:

  Starting Nmap 4.76 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-08-14 18:09 EDT

  Host 10.0.2.1 seems to be upward.

  MAC address: 00:14:BF:19:45:61 (Cisco-Linksys)

  Host 10.0.2.99 appears to be upward.

  MAC address: 00:10:83:BB:08:99 (Hewlett-Packard Company)

  Host 10.0.2.130 appears to be upward.

  MAC address: 00:0E:5 C: 1 has: 44:1E (Motorola BCS)

  Host 10.0.2.134 appears to be upward.

  Nmap done: 256 IPS (4 hosts upward) scanned at 3.71 seconds

  So, now, I know that the machine VMName1 with MAC 00:14:BF:19:45:61 has IP 10.0.2.1 and is it my Linksys router.

  Just a thought.

• Assign a static IP address via DHCP based on the Mac address of the virtual machine

  Hi all

  It is especially a feature request, as I'm sure that it is not currently possible to do what I want to do...

  I would like to be able to assign static IP addresses to VM without having to manually configure the network settings of the virtual machine directly. I want to be able to do it from the DHCP settings in the virtual network Editor.

  Most of the routers DHCP allow this. They give an IP address through DHCP based on the MAC address of the client. This means that the customer is concerned that he receives a regular IP DHCP address, but it is never change.

  DHCP is the default option for all OS this makes things much easier to manage, as IP addresses is assigned in the same way, in one place for all DHCP clients, regardless of the client operating system, and without having to manually keep track of which the IP is assigned to which customers etc..

  Also AFAIK at least for Ubuntu, you cannot assign a static IP address without having to also statically assign to the DNS server. It is only the IP address I need to be static, so I prefer not to have to worry about manually assign the DNS server.

  I can just kind of fudge making the really long DHCP lease duration, but the maximum is 99 days only, so finally addresses are going to change, that would mean a whole bunch of reconfiguration for VM services, etc..

  Does anyone know if the workstation 9 has this ability? I am currently on version 8, but I would probably upgrade this function only if she can do it.

  If there is no way to do what I want to directly through the virtual network Editor, can anyone recommend a way to do this, perhaps using Guest only network and then, by running a kind of services to the 3rd party NAT and DHCP on the host?

  Thank you

  Eugene

  There is no GUI option to get what you are looking for, but you can do it manually. Please take a look at Re: assign a static IP to guest with network adapter NAT Virt? where I posted an example.

• How to get the MAC address of the virtual machine on which vmware tool is not installed

  Hello

  In our project, we communicate to vCenter/ESX and details of virtual machines using the VI - Java 4.0.0 SDK APIs

  I use PropertyCollector for details.

  But in the following cases

  1. a virtual machine is poweredOff.

  2 VMware tool is not installed on the virtual machine.

  I am not able to get the mac using the PropertyColector address.

  To get the macaddress property I use after crossing spec:

  rootFolder (folder)-> childEntity (data center)-> hostFolder (Folder)-> childEntity (ComputerResource)

  -> host (Hostsystem)-> vm-> guest (GuestInfo)-> net (GuestNicInfo)-> macaddress (in Virtualmachine)

  I know the vSphere client uses the VI SDK to perform all operations, and I am able to see the macAddress of VirtualMachine in cases using vSphere client.

  Is any body please help me get the macaddress of VM in the two cases.

  Thank you

  Take a look at the dashboard feature of the virtual machine and specifically "VirtualEthernetCard": http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.device.VirtualEthernetCard.html

  When you assign a new vNIC to each virtual machine, a unique MAC address generated is given by default. If you still want to map the actual interface of the guestOS, then you would take a look at guestInfo as you may have noticed IF you have the VMware Tools. Although the default is whence the MAC address

• Get the IP address on the virtual machine to deploy

  We use the Pools of IP for the assignment of intellectual property, but we want to follow the assignments, what org use what IP etc., to integrate with external systems.

  Is there a good way to do this? I was thinking about a block in Orchestrator task, but that seems like overkill? I was hoping that the INVESTIGATION period would be included in the message sent by MQ when a virtual machine is deployed, but this doesn't seem to be cases of tha.

  All good ideas?

  In fact, I think that it is not supported for the level of the virtual machine. But it seems that you can in fact get it anyway even without "Mode OVF" (could work in VCD 1.5).

• IP address on the virtual machine windows endangered endangered after the importation of the data store.

  I'm gaving a problem with the IP on windows vm disappear after having mounted the snapshot to restore. Here's what I do.

  Mount making LUNS to the esx host area

  I have eyebrows outside the data store to find the vm I want to right click and click Import the vmx file.

  Imports of the virtual machine and when I start it up I wonder if I've moved or copied the VM. I have tried both moved and copy but when I connect to the virtual machine is missing all its IP info.

  Any way to avoid the losting vm sound IP info when I import to the host from a LUN outlet?

  Hello

  Installs on the forum of the Virtual Machine and the guest operating system.

  The MAC of a virtual computer is based on the UUID/name of the virtual machine so if you are not using a static MAC (one that recognizes VMware) and it will change the IP address might also change if you are using DHCP. So I suggest to use a static MAC in the VM configuration.

  Another way is to set up the guest operating system in the virtual machine with a static IP address instead of a DHCP function.

  But if you are unable to remove the virtual machine or the copy in the virtual machine, there may be something locking these files would be an another running virtual machine. If you need to find this VM and kill him. In this case, "vmware-cmd - L" and 'vmware-cmd - l' host in question can be useful to find where the 'hidden' VM is running.  Ultimately you can use ' vm-support - x "to find a list of the virtual machines running by how the hypervisor lists. Then use 'vm-support - Z' to suspend the offending virtual machine that should unlock everything.

  Yes, the use of these commands is command line.

  However, before using these commands determine if you can find the place where life VM incriminated.

• How to get the Mac address of a virtual machine?

  Hello world...

  I need help to get the MAC address of a virtual computer, I'm stuck in it.

  Please reply if anyone know solutions.

  Thank you

  Mahesh Thawari

  Here's a vSphere SDK for Perl script that extracts the MAC addresses for all your virtual machines - http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10490

  You should be able to take it and translate it into any language vSphere SDK you plan to use. Basically you'll be listing through virtual hardware for the virtual machine to search for devices of type VirtualEthernetCard and then retrieve the MAC address of each device.

• Is it possible to programmatically retrieve the MAC address of a virtual machine VMware

  Can anyone suggest to programmatically retrieve the MAC address of a VMware virtual machine.

  I need a code for the above features.

  Post edited by: AntonVZhbankov

  Corrected in Hyper-V to VMware

  Now that I have a code in front of me, you can try essentially this:

  
  // MAC Variable
  string MACAddress;
  
  // Get Config Info (hardware)
  vmConfigInfo = (VirtualMachineConfigInfo)myAPI.getProperties(vmRef, new String[1] {"config"});
  
  //Iterate through devices
  foreach (VirtualDevice vDv in vmConfigInfo.hardware.device)
  {
      try
      {
          VirtualEthernetCard mycard = (VirtualEthernetCard)vDv;
          MACAddress = mycard.macAddress;
      }
      catch
      {
      }
  }
  

  Basically what's happening hear, you are pulling all the pieces of virtual hardware and iterate through them. If the piece is a network card, copy the following code will be able to cast an and pull up on the Mac. Otherwise, the cast fails and he is going to move. If you have multiple network cards, you want to add the mac to an array of strings, or something to keep account of more than one.

  This code assumes that you have connected and you have a way to make the configuration of the virtual machine property. The function 'getProperty' in the present code referring to my own function, not one in VMWare. If you don't know how to do this, just post back here and I know there are examples of pages out there anyone can post to explain this part.

• PowerCLI can not change the IP address of the virtual machine

  I am relatively new to Powershell and PowerCLI (as in 1 week ago relatively new) and I'm falling through the procurement process about 12 VMS on a recurring basis for one class.  I can deploy VM template very well, however I would attribute a specific IP addresses the VM once they are done sysprep'ing.  I use Powershell 1.0 and PowerCLI 4.0.1 Windows 2003 VM (also vcenter in this box).  The virtual machine, I am the deployment is also Windows 2003 and sysprep very well.  This is the section in my script that I use to set the IP address:

  $net1 = 'LAN '.

  game-vmguestnetworkinterface - VmGuestNetworkInterface $net1 - vm P2V_student06 - hostuser root - hostpass * guestuser - administrator - guestpass * - static - ippolicy - netmask 255.255.255.0 - Gateway 192.168.20.1 ip 192.168.20.126

  Here is the output of get-vmguestnetworkinterface for this virtual machine:

  The virtual machine was originally the standard 'connection to the Local network' for the name of the network adapter.  I thought that there might be problems with spaces so I renamed it 'LAN' and it still error.  Can anyone think what I am doing wrong?  This almost seems to be a bug any.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.  I am pulling my hair being so closely how it makes me NUTS!

  Instead of filling the variable followed by setting the network card by specifying the variable can you just try the interface and piped to the set command?  I have repro had your problem, but got it to work in this way:

  Get-VMHost MY_ESX_HOST | Get - vm MY_VM | Get-VMGuestNetworkInterface |? {$_.name - eq 'Connect to the Local network'} | Game-VMGuestNetworkInterface - static IPPolicy - gateway 192.168.1.1 - Netmask 255.255.255.0 - Ip 192.168.1.5 - Verbose

  To meet the "necessary powershell in the prompt is", the answer is no.  You use the powercli command creates a file of commands, uses vix, or the equivalent of copy-vmguestfile or vmscript-invoke to call the file of orders for the customer... that's a CMD file on the guest.

  Now, there is a problem where vmguestnetworkinterface controls were assuming that was the name of the interface "Local Area Connection *" so naming anything other than that would break the script.  Not sure if this is yet, but I can check a little later.

  Hope this helps,

  Alex.

• Launch of the RDP Sessions to the IP address of the Virtual Machine

  Hi, I'm looking for a few lines of code to do the following:

  2. Retrieving the IP address for each of the machines

  3. Launch an RDP session to each of the specified machinesusing IP address

  I have this so far:

  Get-Content "[Path to Text File]" | ForEach-Object {MSTSC /V:(Get-VMGuest -VM $_ | Select-Object IPAddress)}

  I can't seem to get this to work (it opens RDP sessions to "@{IPAddress = System.String []}" "").

  Bonus points if you can suggest a way I can get the multiple RDP sessions to launch within a unique custom MMC!

  Try to use

  Get-Content "[Path to Text File]" | ForEach-Object {MSTSC /V:(Get-VMGuest -VM $_).IPAddress}
  

  Not sure how he will deal with more than one ip address well!

• Failed to get the IP address of the virtual machine of win7 with bridge.

  

  Hi guys,.

  My VM is win7 in the workstation9 with network bridge. Sometimes I can't get IP from DHCP, but sometimes I am able to.

  And I don't really know what causes it? Please help me.

  Thank you

  This problem is solved. Click on modifier modify-> Virtual Network Editor, select connected by a bridge. Then check the Panel under the list, focusing on bridged-> gateway

  There are 3 options in the drop-down list (auto, vpn, physical network), automatic is the default, just to select the physical card. Then throw on your virtual machine,

  IP is back, the problem is solved.
