• How to access the virtual machines to different physical network?

  Hello

  I'm new to ESXi, can someone tell me how can I access virtual machines on the physical network existing in case I use different IP classes? Physics of the network by using the class C IPs and I assigned IPs to virtual machines of class A? If it is possible, then, what are the steps?

  In fact, I installed exchange 2010 VMs and also want to access the email accounts of physical network.

  Thank you.

  You mean there's no way in ESXi to configure the way so we can access the virtual machines to physical network? without third-party applications.

  Because it is impossible for the various networks IP connect without a router, you must have such a device. There is really no difference in that in a pure virtual or physical environment.

  You might think the ESXi host as a box with one or more servers (virtual) inside and one or more layer (virtual) two switches, just like a small server room. This means you will need to provide the same type of connectivity that you would have to a new server room with machines configured with addresses in a different IP network range.

• is it possible to access the virtual machine when the network is down...

  Hello

  Not really...

  For an environment hosted... If you can access the console of the host, you can always access the console of the virtual machine regardless of the State of the network outside of the console. VMware Workstation, Fusion and server all fall into this category.

  For ESXi/ESX... you need a host outside to access the console of the virtual machine. ESX and ESXi not displayed graphics or VMs of their consoles and management devices. So, you need an external machine that can run the vSphere Client or access to the virtual machine via RDP, VNC according to Guest OS involved or SSH.

• Cannot start the virtual machine guest after receiving "License expired message" host ESXi 5.5

  I can't start computer virtual invited after receiving "License expired message" 5.5 ESXi host. I am able to copy the vm folder prompted with all its files using WinSCP I had already installed on a desktop computer in the network.

  However, it takes an extremely long time to download the VM [2.5 mb/s], which is of course a different question.

  It seems that I was still on the trial with my vsphere client license, until it expired. I am able to view the virtual machine within the workstation 10, but I can't turn it on. It says "Please install a license to power on this computer" there is no way to install a license anywhere.

  My question is... .will I be able to access this virtual machine if I download on an external hard drive, then add it to 10 VMWorkstation that I possess a current valid license?

  Even if the evaluation license has expired, you should be able to connect to the ESXi host using the vSphere Client and follow the steps mentioned in the article that I posted before you enter the free license key.

• Cannot ping the Virtual Machine by host

  Hi all,

  Please help, I use VMWare Workstation 6.5 and I have a physical operating system which is Windows XP SP2, I have a network card, but not connected to a physical switch, the IP address is 192.168.0.1. I installed a Virtual Machine using Microsoft Windows 2003 server as the operating system, promote as domain controller, install the DHCP, DNS service and assign an IP 192.168.0.2, no default gateway.

  My VMnet1 on physical operating system has an IP 192.168.204.1 and VMNet8 has an IP 192.168.126.1.

  The host, I cannot ping the 192.168.0.2 which is the IP address of the Virtual Machine. Even in the Virtual Machine, I can not ping 192.168.0.1 is the IP address of the host. From what I read, the physical and the virtual machine were connected with a virtual switch. Am I wrong?

  Any advice?

  Thanks in advance.

  They SEEM to be in different networks, you need search routing between them,... since they differnet networks...

  on the other

  they do host and the virtual machine on the same subnet / network for EXAMPLE: class C class network 192.168.200.0/24

• Cannot access Windows Virtual Machine in OSX! Help, please!

  Attached is a screenshot of the error I get when I try to open my virtual machine and a screenshot of the error if I try to remove the snapshot through "settings".  I restored an older VM with Time Machine, now I get this error when you try to run the virtual machine.  I tried to uninstall, delete the virtual machine, shut down the computer, reinstall VMware Fusion (which already had my serial number filled in for me) and then back to the VM backed up by Time Machine.  No luck.  Now, instead of a few files missing I want to recover... I can't access my VM at all.  Not good, any help would be appreciated.

  No doubt useful to add that I had the idea to uninstall from another thread of subject "fangs" tiled "Lost access to the merger after restoring from Time Machine" maybe it would work if I reinstalled and my serial number has not been filled

  in?  Anyone know any more and more stuff inbetween closing

  Uninstall and install?

  Well, that was good of you talk and after getting your data from the files just mounting hard copy create a new Virtual Machine from the hard base file and go from there.  Once you are satisfied, you have all of your data, you can get rid of the copy that you made on the external hard drive.  If you have any other questions just post and one of us will try to answer.

  Have a good.

• See Virtual Machine role cannot accommodate the virtual machine is on. Help please.

  Hi all. I'm trying a re-branded minimum permissions to a group for some virtual machines. The role of Virtal Machine user seems to be a perfect fit. The only problem I have is that the user can't see what host the virtual computer is on. If they are in the VMware Infrastructure Client and click on the Summary tab, it is empty. The reason why I want to see them is if they need to use a CD-ROM to install an application in that they need to know what a host to the CD. Can someone tell me which box to check if I go and change the role? Is there a better way to do it?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Welcome to the Forums!

  If they have access to the virtual Center and the access flag to the virtual machine itself, why not just mount the .iso/CD on the computer virtual in question then disconnect when you are finished.  Having to put a CD in an ESX host, every time something must be installed not the ideal way

• When you access the virtual machine, getting the error "encountered an error when you try to use one of its virtual hard disks". Help?

  I received the "low disk space error" on a hard drive of the virtual machine dynamic expanding. I have increased my space of virtual hard disk using "My Computer" > manage > storage > "Disk management" and choose "Attach VHD" then resizing to max available (64 GB), and now I can not start the virtual machine. It gives the error: encountered an error when you try to use one of its virtual hard disks. Help?

• Cannot start the virtual machine after you create snapshop

  I found a strange behaviour. I have a Windows 2008 guest that I just copied in my new box ESXi. I am trying to create a snapshot before upgrading the guest to 2012 Windows operating system. The virtual machine has currently no snapshots. Whenever I have create a snapshot, he succeeds, but then I can't start the virtual machine saying that it does not find the vmdk file delta even though I see there in the data store. In order to start the virtual machine, I have to delete the inventory and it readd, but then I lose the snapshot. I also have another computer virtual running Windows 8.1 that does exactly the same thing. How can I create snapshots safely without damaging the virtual machine? I also tried to create the snapshot while the virtual machine has been activated but that makes crashing and then it does not start again, so I have to repeat the process to remove the inventory and it time. Frustrating. See the screenshots, I have attached.

  Once these virtual machines have been in Hyper-V in the past and I just convert to VMware format using the StarWind V2V converter.

  Yes, for an ESXi host and target you must either select the ESX f.vmdk as format target (growable option is for VMware Workstation), or you must convert the virtual machine once more instead of simply upload the files to an ESXi host.

• VMware networking help - network bridge / to access the virtual machines form other pc

  I have a computer 'server' that had 4 VM launched on it.

  I need to connect to these virtual machines, all of which have their own IP addresses. I can ping the server or the host of a remote computer, but must be able to communicate with the virtual machines in the remote/client computerss.

  Can anyone offer insight?  I tried to set up an automatic bypass at one of the virtual machines

  Any thoughts?

  Sorry, I'm not sure I can follow you. In any case, what you're trying to do is to configure adaper network of the virtual machine as "Bridged" within the parameters of the virtual machine and then change network card settings in as guest OS:

  IP address: 192.168.1.21 (where 21 must be an unused IP address currently)
  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
  Def gateway: 192.168.1.1

  Preferred DNS server: 192.168.1.1

• 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.

• Cannot start the virtual machine in a HA cluster

  I installed a HA cluster with 2 hosts configured in it.

  I disabled the admission on the cluster control.

  Each host is a Dell Dimension 9150 with 2.8 GHz CPU and 2 GB of memory.

  I created a virtual machine on a host with 1 vCPU and 512 MB memory.

  However when I try to start the virtual machine, I see the task of 'Power on a virtual machine' fail with the status "the host has sufficient memory resources to satisfy the reserve."

  Why this is happening and how do after that?

  You have the minimum RAM required by ESX ESX 4.0.

  Add more RAM to play also some virtual machines.

• Cannot move the virtual machine to another host

  Here's the situation... I am running 3 ESX 4.0 host in a cluster and I upgrade the memory on these hosts.  I put one day and now I want to use vmotion to move a virtual machine to host more memory, so I can then turn off host 2 to add more memory.

  When I try to migrate the computer to another virtual host he said "the virtual machine must be powered down for that purpose."

  I did it before with success when I first created this group with the HA and DRS settings are enabled.

  Now, I can't do this and I don't know what setting or what changed to cause it to not allow me to manually migrate a virtual computer on one host to another.

  If I wanted to put an ESX host in "Maintenance Mode" thinking that it will automatically move all VM for 2 other hosts in the cluster is not it either... I get a message saying that ' a host into maintenance mode does not any virtual machine functions... blah... blah... and continues to complete the entry into maintenance mode, all virtual machines must be closed or moved to another host. "  Manual intervention may be required.

  Again, I think that if a host is down these VMs would be move... that of the whole point of a cluster but doesn't seem to put in maintenance mode to allow them to go unless I turn off the virtual machine

  Any ideas?

  Go is one of the requirements of vMotion. The message after you had corrected the condition, I'm sure would be erased after awhile.

• Cannot access the virtual center with web access

  Hello

  I can access my ESX hosts without problem using web access but I can't access the virtual Center.

  I put https://hostnamevCenter

  I go as far as the home page and once I click on web access connection I get the following error:

  '503 service unavailable '.

  Any suggestions? Is web access configured automatically for vCenter or what I need to do something more?

  Thanks in advance

• To access the virtual machines of two different hosts

  Greetings,

  I have a question that I can't find the answer to. I am setting up a virtual machine environment small and need to better understand the architecture behind it.

  2 host servers

  1 iSCSI Equallogic San (target)

  I have installed 35i ESX and runnning on two physical hosts. .205 et.206

  I created a data store on my SAN to host my 'model' VM.

  De.205, I can see the data on the SAN network store and browse the virtual machine I (using VMConverter) moved there.

  De.206, I can see the data store on the SAN, but when I sail, I do not see the same information. I see no. VM.

  MY understanding is that using the SAN to store the virtual machine and that I would make the hosts of this data store to run the virtual machine. But the way in which it seems that I have the virtual machine configured on both hosts, always pointing the data store on the San but again using converter, copy de.205 vers.206.

  What don't understand me or that I don't understand.

  Your help is appreciated.

  Welcome to the VMware community forums.   If you have configured things Ok, you will be able to browse the data from these two hosts store and see the same content.  You can register the virtual computers on both hosts.  For an existing VM on the host from 1, you find the data on the host of the 2nd store, right-click on the VMX file and select Add to the inventory.  Have you thought to vcenter server?  It's going to do it is a lot easier.
