Binds a guest operating system to one of the two network adapters on the host computer?

Sorry if the topic is confusing.  I have a host operating system to Server 2008 running on a server that has two network jacks.  Allows to call an (192.168.10.24) and B (192.168.10.25).

My guest operating system is set to bridged with the IP 192.168.10.26 mode

I want to say VMWare to always use A NIC when it comes with this guest operating system.  Is this possible?

In my (Control Panel Windows) network connections, I see my two NICs A and B as well as VMWare Network Adapter WMnet1 and VMnet8.

Thank you!

Run the utility for configuring the network (vmnetcfg.exe) as an administrator on the host computer, disable the automatic bypass, set vmnet0 to one of your physical network cards and a virtual NETWORK adapter not used, such as VMnet2, and then assign the other physical NIC. Then to your comments, change its settings and select vmnet0 or vmnet2.

  • Adding SCSI - HOST OS card works fine, GUEST operating system does not see the new hardware

    I have a HOST Windows XP Pro SP3 with VMWare v6.5.2 running Windows Server 2003 R2 STD, SP2 as OS GUEST running on any new Dell Precision T3500 Workstation.

    I've closed the COMMENTS and then HOST. Installed an Adeptec SCSI 39160 card in the PC. The card is a 64-bit and is installed in a PCI 32-bit slot. (It is backwards compatible with 32 - bit)

    Powered on PC. Install the drivers of Adeptec on the HOST. Works fine and I can see the card under Windows XP. Rebooted and everything is always OKm POST shows the installed card and search devices. I have no device attached at this point.

    GUEST operating system has started and it does not automatically detect the card. Tried to run the Add Hardware Wizard and same result. Tried to use VMWare to install the new Hard ware with no result.

    Can tell you how I can get the OS TO see / use the new SCSI card?

    In my humble VIEW VMWare Server is designed to run servers, so do not expect the same comfort as a workstation.

    I also decided to add these lines to the svga.maxWidth file .vmx = '1680 '.

    svga.maxHeight = "1050", but it did not help I have colleagues, I have to change the registry then...

    As you can see in the image below, I posted 600Gigs for my guest OS (CentOS).

    But I have found that the OS actually uses only 90Gigs as seen in the image below.

  • Guest operating system not found in the Summary tab.

    Hi all

    Most of my virtual machines that powered on or off State as powered do not display the BONES: "" in the Summary tab.

    Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried to connect to a host to see if the information is displayed there? This could be a problem of communication between the host and vCenter Server which can be resolved by restarting the server vCenter or management of the host network.

  • How to map ports to guest operating system?

    Hi all:

    I installed the new server of vmware on Redhat Linux AS5 and created a virtual machine and installed another operating system, the use of the guest operating system NAT to connect the host operating system. the host operating system has a public IP address. It seems work. the guest can access the internet.

    but I want the prompt that OS can run an internet service, such as a mail server. I use iptable card some ports for the guest operating system, but it did not work. I don't know that the firewall rules are correct, because if I use the computer to run the guest operating system, it will work.

    the following iptables rules:

    iptables t nat - a PREROUTING d 210.x.x.x Pei tcp m multiport - destination-port 25,110,143,465,993,995-j DNAT - destination 192.168.5.1

    iptables-t nat - an OUTPUT - dst 210.x.x.x Pei tcp m multiport - destination-port 25,110,143,465,993,995-j DNAT - destination 192.168.5.1

  • T of what guest operating systems will start the VMware Support for EFI?

    Is there a list of support guest OS for the EFI firmware?  Mianly supported by VMware - do not try, fail, call support technique etc etc.   My experiences on the TP forums, I guess that there is not.  Some OS (such as Windows Server) come with a screen to choose BIOS/EFI firmware.  If not, you need to go to setting > Hard Drive OPtions-> advanced _ > boot using EFI.  In particular there at - it versions of Linux that you give you option of BIOS/EFI firmware before the confutation of VM is complete, so the hard drive then be custom.

    We will officially support the EFI firmware for any guest operating system to which all the following conditions are met:

    • We list this guest operating system, supported in the VMware Compatibility Guide for operating systems and your virtualization product.
    • The guest operating system supports EFI in the operating system installation media.
    • Support the guest OS EFI has no catastrophic flaws (for example Fedora 12 x 64, FreeBSD 11, Centos 6.0 through all the 6.2 have catastrophic flaws).

    New computer virtual assistant of 11 workstation has only the option of EFI firmware for Windows clients.  Special mention, do not yet support us Easy Install for non EFI customers in 11 workstations.  For all other customer support EFI OSes, you can do a manual installation after choosing the EFI firmware in the virtual machine settings > Options > Advanced > Boot with EFI instead of the BIOS.

    I don't understand your concern about the personalization of the hard drive... Could you elaborate?

    See you soon,.

  • The VM startup slow down, delay long before the guest operating system begins startup

    Evaluation of VMWare to set up the VM for the maintenance of the software. Set up a virtual machine, install Windows 7 SP1 32-bit, everything works well. Once started, the performance is excellent.

    The symptom is that when you start the virtual machine, either starting from cold boot or suspend, there is a significant delay before the power of VMware on / start screen is displayed. Once it appears, the operating system starts starting (or the recovery of wakefulness) quickly and performance is normal after that. During the start-up period, the whole system is insensitive, host and guest operating system.

    See the extract of newspaper below to 09:54:28.619 moment where the delay occurs followed by the entry concerning 09:55:11.625 time when start continues, a delay of 43 seconds during which nothing seems to happen and the system does not respond. After that, everything is fast.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hello

    I know what you want to say as I've seen sometimes as well. But especially on older hardware or if there are problems with regard to particular resources. For example I saw this on an ESX host (yes I know product different) where there was a problem with the storage not enough providing IOPS / s.

    I saw also this on older versions of Linux (IIRC 7) workstation where the host had an Atom based CPU, there I updated to more RAM and a more recent version of the workstation and the problem disappeared.

    Then I also saw it on the 4/5 merger when my host operating system was out of memory and I tried to start another operating system to prompt anyway.

    I do not consider a normal behavior for the slow start and does not respond, it is an indication that the hypervisor is seeking some resources, but does not receive them fast enough.

    The reasons can be many. Indeed things like antivirus could be biting you if she tries to analyze all files (including virtual disks) at their opening.

    FWIW, I also understand the support response as would be expected if your host is a bit thin on the resources (for example, trying to start a VM 1 GB on a host Win7 with only 3.5 GB of RAM) and if the virtual machine runs OK after the initial startup delay, it's mostly just an annoyance.

    Can we ask or advise me about this problem? Thank you.

    Shacky wrote: I need to connect to a device that is on the live network. I need to connect the guest and the device so that they can talk to each other.

    So why you use VMnet1 Host only and does not connect to the physical LAN?  You should use linked by a bridge.

    Suggest that read 14 chapters (setting up a virtual network) & 15 (advanced virtual networking) in the user of the workstation manual in order to gain a better understanding of the Virtual Network Infrastructure.

  • Is it possible to install multiple copies of Windows 7 in Virtualbox as guest operating system

    Microsoft treats several facilities in VirtualBox (as guest operating system) as a single installation instance?
