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

• Assign a separate IP address to a virtual machine?

  Hi people.

  It's right on the edge of my technical knowledge; I hope you can offer some advice.

  I am running a windows installation virtual on a windows host, which is bound to a regular cable connection.  Time Warner gives me additional IP addresses, but I want the VM to have its own IP address.  Can offer you some advice as to if there are external services that will sell me IPs that I can then point to the virtual machine via the connection from Time Warner, or which is technically impossible?

  I'm really not as clueless that I look when it comes to networking, but this one left me speechless for some reason any.

  Thanks for any thoughts!

  Google for "Provider of VPN" - maybe you'll find something suitable for your needs in terms of budget, performance, IP location, etc.

  The idea is the virtual machine can use PPTP, L2TP, or smth like OpenVPN - and the 'other end' of the link VPN can assign IPs. Typical packages would start around $ 5-10 per month.

  In the meantime, port forwarding is your way to go - you can transfer connections to specific ports on your 'external' to VM (s) IP address specific.

• DHCP not reaching the virtual machines on the same vswitch

  Hey all,.

  I have vswitch4, VLAN id 99 - but should not question it is a sandbox with the bear on a printer test.

  We have an AD controller in there with running DHCP services.  We have a vm to test windows 7 He thus does not receive a DHCP address.

  We can statically assign an IP address and ping out, but he won't get an automatically.

  What should we do to make this work properly?

  Is the only one with this problem, if not VM, have you checked if the scope is authorized, the server itself is started? Both servers are on the same port group? Basically the same questions as the poster above me.

• need to configure a connection wireless network with static IP address to make a panasonic wireless display of work on the virtual machine

  Hi, I'm new to macs and Fusion. I have a MacBook Pro 13 mid-2009, running 10.5.7 and Fusion 2.0.5, running Win XP Pro SP3 as the virtual machine (not in a bootcamp partition separate). I added a second network as a bridged network adapter (first one is set to NAT). I'm trying to connect my wireless panasonic (802 11b) to the virtual machine display, as I do on my old sony PC. Normally, I turn on the wireless on the PC, find the network wireless in Win XP and configure my SSID and necessary of static IP address and configure the NIC to search only ad-hoc connections (non-infrastructure). I also turn off the firewall so that it can work. There is a panasonic program runs on the PC (which I also installed on the virtual machine) makes it all happen once I have the connection. So the place that seems to be stuck, it's that I can't find a wireless to configure network adapter since--what the VM is a NA standard, so there is no place to specify the SSID, ad-hoc and disable the WEP key. Someone has ideas how to go beyond my current state?

  In addition, the panasonic only works at 800 x 600 for the display resolution, so it will automatically change the graphics settings. I guess that's not a problem on the VM, but thought I would ask in advance in case someone sees a problem with it.

  Thank you very much.

  Larry

  If the only way you can connect to the device is via WiFi, then you will need to provide your own WiFi USB network adapter to the virtual machine because Fusion presents only the network card Ethernet wired to the Virtual Machine, regardless of the host network adapter is the main map.

• 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.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.

• 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.

• 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

  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.

• 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.

• Using vmrun to obtain an IP address when you run the virtual machine mode headless fails customers

  Operating system: OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

  VMware Fusion: Professional Version 8.1.1 (3771013)

  When you run a VM guest in headless mode I can't use vmrun to get IP clients. If I eventually bring to the top/start the merger GUI, the command returns the IP address as planned. It is always reproducible.

  $ vmrun -T fusion start "path/to/MyVMs.vmx" nogui
  2016-06-12T10:55:46.626| ServiceImpl_Opener: PID 11515
  
  ... wait for VM to come up. If the VM has a static IP address I can now ssh into the instance.
  
  $ vmrun -T fusion getGuestIPAddress "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
  Error: The VMware Tools are not running in the virtual machine: "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
  
  $ vmrun -T fusion checkToolsState "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
  installed
  
  ... Start the VMware GUI and ensure the VM's console window is open
  
  $ vmrun -T fusion getGuestIPAddress "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
  192.168.100.23
  

  I tested with open-vm-tools and tools VMware packaged with the merger and the behavior is the same. I also spoke with others on the channel of freenode #vmware who have confirmed that the problem exists for users of workstation as well.

  Hi danandham,

  Welcome in the vmware community. Iyou s really a problem, we try to fix it.

  After a command, you can use as a workaround:

  vmrun t fusion getGuestIPAddress "path/to/MyVMs.vmx" - wait

  See you soon

• 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.

• expose the virtual machine via home router

  Hello

  I have my router configured to allow access to a virtual machine running Ubuntu 64 bit headless. The router allows port 80 to pass to the virtual machine. I was able to access the machine's web server once and then I get an error saying that the connection has expired. Determine, I can connect to the Web server on the computer virtual machine host through the LAN IP. I tried bridged and NAT.

  When debugging this issue, I changed the configuration of the router to allow access to port 80 on the host computer. This succeeded and I see VM host machine from outside my local network.

  I looked around your site and google, but I can't use the correct search terms. Can you point me to the documentation for it or let me know how do ?

  Thank you

  -Rob

  If you use the NAT, the virtual machine is originally a host-level NAT address (172.x.y.z) that your Internet router knows nothing.  You can forward port 80 on the router IP of your host, and then configure/Library/Application Support / VMware Fusion/vmnet8/nat.conf port 80 requests for port forward to address 172 of your VM on port 80.  Need to turn off Apache on OS X, if it works because it would cause a port conflict.

  Your other option is to change the VM from NAT filled, in which case your OS X and your Ubuntu VM would be on the same subnet with a DHCP address, given by the Internet router.  The router might forward traffic directly to the virtual machine without any additional port forwarding.

• 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).

• Unable to connect to the virtual machine via telnet

  Hi all

  The VM on Vcenter everything is perfect with the network connection. I can't do a ping of the virtual machine remotely but I can not connect via telnet.

  For the same reason? And even more, I have disabled the fiewalls of the virtual machine (Windows 2008 R2).

  The error that says: could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed

  Can you please let me know how to solve this problem?

  Since there is nothing blocking the traffic of the virtual machine in ESXi, you can begin troubleshooting in the guest OS. For example is running telnet server and configured to accept connections?

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

  Hello world...

  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.
