assign a static IP to guest OS using API

Hi, I would like to know if there is a method in the VI API to assign a static IP address to a virtual machine? I would also like to be able to assign multiple IP addresses, or to remove, when the virtual machine is running, someone knows how do?

Thanks in advance.

You can assign a static ip address for the guest operating system by using the CustomizeVM_Task API or passing CustomizationSpec when cloning a virtual machine using the CloneVM API.

  • Assign a static IP to guest with NAT Virt network adapter?

    I'll put up a * nix VM that I want to give out-bound network connectivity, but I want to make its services available only on my local machine (for example MySQL).  VMWare Player with NAT assigned a DHCP address, but because it is not update my host name resolution, to access a service on the client, I need to use the IP address.

    I would like to assign a static IP address on the guest, so I can add an easy to use in the host of my host file.  I can update my guest network interface file to not assign no problem.  I'm worried that I can use an IP address that overlaps the VMWare DHCP pool (and may occur a conflict of address when I turn on a new virtual machine), or outside the range of the virtual switch.

    Is this possible with VMWare Player, and is there something in the configuration files, that I might be able to change this?

    Default 192.168.x.1 address is used for the adapter to the virtual host, 192.168.x.2 as the address of the NAT gateway and 192.168.x.128... 254 for DHCP, which means that you can assign static IP addresses between 192.168.x.3 and... 127.

    However, you can configure rather a reserve in the vmnetdhcp.conf file by adding for example

    host LuckyLuke {}
    Hardware ethernet 00: 0C: 29:23:b6:12;
    fixed-address 192.168.156.77;
    }

    just in front of the brand ' # end ' . Please replace "156" by your own subnet. In the example above, the VMS with MAC address "00: 0C: 29:23:b6:12" will receive the IP "192.168.156.77". BTW. hostname (in this case "LuckyLuke") does not matter, it must just be unique in the file.

  • 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

    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.

  • Cannot assign a static Ip

    Hello whenever I try to assign a static IP to one of my computers it dosent work... the problem is I have a PCI Wireless and every time I put all the information and he said his works very well but it dosent recive packages and I cannot get Internet HELP!

    Hello

    I'm not sure that what you describe as any to do it with a static IP address.

    First of all, make sure that your configuration is OK.

    Maybe this can help.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    When the work turns on the Wireless security.

    Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

    Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

    -------------

    The following pages were not written specifically for Win 7.  However, they represent the principles of the Wireless working in computers that are running the Windows operating system and can be used as a quick training to understand the basis of wireless computers work.

  • How to assign a static IP (external) to a virtual computer when provisionng by vCAC

    Hi all


    I'm trying to figure out how to assign a static IP address at a request of vCAC via vCO prior to cloning. Without a static IP address assigned, cloning ends well and gets a random IP address... but I want the virtual machine to use a specific IP address.

    I use the pack of extensibility (not dynamic Ops Designer).


    Is it possible to do? Any ideas would be appreciated.


    Thank you.

    Are you planning on using network profiles for a pool of static IP addresses? If this is not the case, will provide you the IP address at the time of the request? For static IP address assignment, put in the property custom 'VirtualMachine.Network0.Address' and associated custom properties (see page 251 of the Guide) and if you have a comment specified in your plan customization, it will use this information to provide the IP address.

  • assignment range static mac addresses

    Anyone know or knows where I can find what the mac address range is responsible for functions static mac end user for virtual machines?  There is a specific, cited in the 4.x documentation Beach, but the docs 5.x just say do not walk on the beaches of use reserved for vCenter Server, host network adapters physical, virtual cards, but says not what is Beach, reserved or allowed is, so I don't know what to avoid.  I opened a support ticket and asked the same question and I was told there is no specific void range defined for static assignment, and I have to look in my environment to see what was automatically generated for what could not be attributed.  Of course, this does not solve the potential problem of an address that I choose to be automatically generated by vcenter for a future new virtual machine.

    Also, does anyone know what virtual machine operations can cause the mac to change address?  I'm trying to determine whether it is necessary to assign a static address to a virtual machine that has a license associated with it, so I need to know what would be the probability of this change.  Support could not answer this question.

    Thanks to all in advance.

    Have you checked the http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-55-networking-guide.pdf 148 pages

    Documentation - once the MAC address is generated, it does not change unless the virtual machine MAC address conflicts

    with that of another virtual machine saved. The MAC address is stored in the virtual machine configuration file.

  • Assign a static IP via LDAP

    Hi all:

    I wonder if it is possible to assign a static IP address to a VPN user. Authentication is done via LDAP, and I saw on the LDAP server, there is an area where you can configure an IP address, is it possible to read it and assign to user ASA or it must be configured on ASA?

    Thank you very much

    Francisco

    Yes, it is possible.

    Here is an example of configuration:

  • ezvpn server. assign a static ip to specified customers

    Hello

    I have configured the router cisco easy vpn server.

    everything works very well.

    but I can't find how to assign a static ip to the specified vpn client. (provided by MAC or name)

    I tried to create the dhcp binding:

    IP dhcp pool vpnclient

    the host 192.168.111.50 255.255.255.0

    address material 0005.9a3c.00a9

    vpnclient customer name

    but this does not affect the ezvpn client ip address...

    Hey good thing Andrii, noted

    You must include the IP Pool of Group A on the Split tunneling ACL for Group B and vice versa.

    I hope that makes sense

  • IT is Type of resource by using APIs

    Hello experts,

    I'm trying to reach a value 'IT Resource Type"instance"Resource"by using APIs.

    For example

    Resource type of TI - "Directory Server"

    Instance of resources IT - 'AD_IT_RESOURCE', 'IT Resource type' directory server

    I have "resource instance key'(10) now and trying to recover 'IT Resource Type' (Directory Server) here"

    Below the code snippet retrieves just the settings instance but not "type of resource. Another way to do this?

    tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf itinstIntf = oimclient.getService (tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf.class);

    tcResultSet itrParams = itinstIntf.getITResourceInstanceParameters (10);

    paramCount int = itrParams.getRowCount ();

    for (int i = 0; i < paramCount; i ++)

  • Remove all contacts from Sharedlist (ContactList) using Api

    I want to delete all the contacts in a sharedlist using api. One method that I discovered is that api rest is to send the ID of all the contacts in the list. When there are more contacts in the list, it takes a lot of time because I have to query the list to get the ID of first contact, then send the request PUT with the ID to delete the contacts. Is there an alternative way to do. If this isn't the case, then what's the number max of ID I can send with destruction of membership options.

    Concerning

    Maury

    Thank you very much zatokar, with your trick that I could remove all contacts from sharedlist in a single request. All we have to do is add sync action as delette in export defination. It will delete all the data on the shared list.

    Sample request is less than

    {

    "name': 'example of export."

    'fields': {}

    "ContactId": "{{Contact.Id}}.

    },

    'syncActions ':

    {

    'destination': "{{ContactList [LIST_ID]}}"

    'action': 'delete '.

    }
