Cannot ping or you connect to a virtual machine in ESXi 4.1

Hello

Subject: I'm using VMware Workstation 7.1.2 on my laptop to install ESXi 4.1 2 hosts, VCenter and virtual machines to create a training environment. Not the ideal situation, but budget restrictions prevail.

Problem: cannot access any virtual machine created under ESXi hosts that have been created in Workstation 7.1.  Also, each internal virtual computer cannot access the internet or communicate with other external VMs created in Workstation 7.1.  However, all virtual computers outside created in VMware WS 7.1 can communicate with each other.

Configuration:

Asus laptop: Intel i3-350, 8 GB of RAM internal 500 GB, 500 GB WD USB drive

computer laptop operating system: Ubuntu 10.04

VMware Workstation 7.1.2 (Linux)

Windows Server 2008 DC-64 VM (VCenter installed)

ESXi 4.1

I created two ESXi hosts and a virtual Windows Server 2008 computer, in my computer.  I installed the client in Windows Server 2008 VM and VCenter.  Each virtual machine can communicate with laptop computer and other virtual machines.  The real problem is that inside THAT VM created in ESXi running Workstation 7.1.2 cannot communicate with the internet, no other external virtual machines.

Each external VM (those created in WS) network card is filled, and I tried to use VMXNET3, E1000, VMXNET2 (Enhanced) and Flexible for the VM inside (those created in ESXi host located in WS) type of adapter.  No luck.  The Virtual Machine port group and VMKernel port showing a connection to the physical adapter (vmnic0). I tried to reconfigure the settings of the virtual network editor too.

Any ideas?

Thank you

first stop each virtual machine on your vmware workstation, enter the above command and then run those virtual machines.

    Is there documentation anywhere that describes how the LinksysVPN for Windows Client communicates so these can be replicated in 3rd VPN clients from third parties for the Mac in OS X?

    The connection with IPSecuritas and VPN Tracker is performed using a shared key and a domain name.  It is not a conflict of IP address network between the client and the VPN 192.168.0.0/24 network.

    Any ideas on how to get the RV016 to work for non-Windows users?

    We found and fixed the problem, so using VPN Tracker or current IPSecuritas on OS X people have access to the LAN via the RV016 machines. The "remote networks" in the screen BASE in VPN Tracker has been set on the entire subnet: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 the in the RV016 has been set to the IP of 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254 range. Even if the addresses are essentially the same, without specifying the full subnet in the RV016 has allowed the connection to do but prevented the VPN client machine to connect because the RV016 would pass all traffic to the Remote LAN. Change the setting of 'local group' in RV016 settings in the screen "VPN/summary/GroupVPN', 'Local Group Zone' for the subnet 192.168.0.0/24 full solved the problem.

  • Computer laptop Windows 7 can see the desktop of Windows XP, but cannot ping or you connect

    I've seen hundreds of threads describing problems similar to mine, but none of the suggested fixes worked in my case so I'm starting a new thread.  I bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Home Edition.  My setup before the new laptop was as follows:

    Cable modem router NetGear WGT624v3---> desktop Windows XP Home Edition SP3--->

    I have set up portable Win 7 with the same name of the Office XP Workgroup.  The username and password are the same on both.  File and printer sharing is enabled on both.  The XP desktop laptop Win 7 in the workgroup in my network places.  It can successfully ping the laptop Win 7.  It can access shared folders on the Win 7 machine with no problems.

    My problem is that the connection seems one-sided.  Laptop Win 7 will usually display the XP desktop in the network when Windows Explorer opens.  It still display the XP desktop in the network map in network and sharing Center.  However, I can't map a network drive on the XP desktop by using the name of computer or IP address.  I can't even ping the XP desktop.  But if I start the Office XP in Safe Mode with networking, the Win 7 laptop can ping and access shared folders on the XP desktop computer.

    I tried to disable the firewall on both machines.  I confirmed that the appropriate ports are open for sharing files on both machines.  Safe mode they suggest the problem lies with Windows XP, but I'm running out of things to try.  And the various solutions I've seen in the Strait of similar positions as urban legends.

    Hi Meghmala,

    Thanks for the great tips.  You got me in the right direction.  After configuring my XP machine for a clean boot I have to ping, see and access shared files on desktop XP from Win 7 laptop.  Then, I have considered the services and startup programs that has been disabled for the clean boot.  I found a Cisco VPN service which I had previously used to fix on my office intranet.  I disabled this service and the corresponding to my next selective startup startup file.  I was still able to connect to the computer to Office XP.  I think that the VPN service was the cause of the problem even though I had no open an active VPN session.  Thanks again for this problem.  I tried to solve this problem for weeks.

  • Students cannot "connect/disconnect the virtual machine's CD/DVD devices.

    I will start with this context (and apologies for the wall o ' text): I'm a newbie.  I took the course VMware local community college offers [VMware ESXI Server Enterprise (CIS197)], but I've not yet certified. And I don't have a real experience, except what I have taught myself so far.

    I recently accepted a position of learning associated with the College (think: glorified lab tech). I was tasked to work with stuff from VMware in the laboratory (among other things such as Cisco and Juniper equipment). There is no pass-down information like the previous left the position four months ago.

    We have a single host running ESXi 348481 4.1.0. "We have vCenter Server (5.5.0, 1312298), running on Windows Server (2008 R2, Enterprise Edition).  Access host and vCenter through two different IP, addresses using the vSphere client (either 5.5 or 4.1, using a single application - depends to know if I connect to the host or vCenter).

    At that time, the host is using local storage only (we have plans to change this, but it will take time).  The host is not a production on its own server, because it does not have a school systems.  He does, however, run a number of virtual machines in the lab, students use (Linux, Microsoft, Web design, etc.).  So, right now, I can't take it down.

    I was tasked to create a number of virtual machines that students can use to make the basic labs of Microsoft Windows 7.  So far, I have:
    -Created users, one per student, on the host.
    -Creating VMs, deploy one per student, I have a gold model vcenter.
    -Creation of roles to limit the access of students to just their VM attributed, which they access via client vSphere.
    -Created a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controller that is also a DHCP server.
    -Created a virtual network, which is accessible only by the Windows 7 virtual machines and is not visible outside the vSphere environment (if I said this right - he does not see the Internet or school network).

    So far, it's all good.

    However, I need to be able to allow students the ability to edit the ISO file on which their VM points in order to complete some laboratories. I guess they would use the button "connect/disconnect the virtual machine's CD/DVD devices" on the taskbar (or console window). It does not work.
    I searched a lot and found that others have had the same problem.  However, all of the solutions I've tried so far have failed.  When they click 'Connect to ISO image on the data... store. "they get an error message means nothing to me,"an internal error has occurred in the vSphere Client. Details: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object. Contact VMware support if necessary.
    The role that I use for students has these settings:
    -Data store > Browse the data store
    -Virtual Machine > Configuration > change the settings of the device
    -Virtual Machine > Configuration > settings
    -A bouquet under the virtual machine > Configuration >
    -Configure CD media
    -Console interaction
    -Connection of the device
    -On
    -Power off
    -(and more, which I don't believe are important to the question)
    -State > create the snapshot
    -State > go back to the snapshot

    I tried "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add existing disk", "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add new disk" and "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add or remove an instrument" with no luck.

    Either by the way, the root account can do all these things, but no other account can - not even a game as an administrator account.

    I've seen mention I have apply the role in the data store.  It is perhaps part of the problem. I can't see the data store when I am connected to the host (wellll, I can, if I click on the host name, then on the Summary tab - but roles do not apply at this stage).  I see is 'Inventory' (which has virtual machines and Pools of resources), 'Rôles' and 'log files '.

    I can see the data store when logged in vCenter. Roles of students, however, are defined on the host computer. If I clone the role of users in vCenter and change this role cloned to have "permissions" that those who are on the host computer and then apply it to the data store, it still does not work.

    So, after all this (which I hope I've included all the necessary information), what can I do to allow the students to change ISO to which they are connected?

    Of course, if I left something, or if someone has a question, please ask.  I want to get this resolved as soon as I can.

    It turns out that I finally found the solution to the problem.

    What 'fixed', it is sufficient to vSphere Web Client to vCenter, which then allowed us to use Single Sign-On (SSO).  This, in turn, allowed us to define users and roles in vCenter (rather than having set them up directly on the host computer) which have then been applied to the VMS of students and also to the data store.

    Now, they can (de-) connect their ISOs at will.

    I find it interesting that vSphere Client (application) shows the users (and the things that they have access to), but it won't let you set of users.

  • 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?

  • Unable to connect to the virtual machine after adding new eSATA drive

    Hello.

    I'm trying to connect my new 2 TB drive in VMWare Workstation. It is connected via eSATA to the host computer, and it works. I added the drive to the desktop as a new "physical disk." But now I can not power the workstation the most.

    (1) when I start the VMWare Workstation it right ask admin (it didn't need before).

    (2) when I turn on the prompt does not charge even the bios. It shows a rear screen with the logo of VMWare for a while and then stop saying: "VMware Workstation cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure that you have the rights to run the program and access all directories that it uses and access rights to all directories for temporary files. »

    The host is running Windows 7 x 64. The workstation runs under the standard user account.

    Thank you.

    Hmmm - it's unexpected - works for me here - only difference: I tried with only 1 TB disks.

    You start Workstatiion as an administrator?

  • How to connect to a virtual machine remotely.

    How to connect from my PC (windows xp) homepage to my PC(windows xp) desktop with a virtual machine.

    I want to connect to this virtual machine from home. How to do this? What are the steps?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    When you configure the virtual computing, r put his network card to use the host adapter.

    In this way, the virtual machine will get the IP address of the router and will basically act as if the Chickadee is an independent computer in the network.

    As long as the host computer and the virtual computer on and don't go to sleep, you can connect to each on its own through the network.

    or on the Internet.

  • whenever I have to connect to the virtual machine asks me to enter login and password I can't save the credentials

    Hi, I used Windows Virtual PC XP mode for awhile and I just do a fresh install, and I'm having a problem that I seem not to be able to solve.

    After you enable the integration features, I got to the Windows Security login screen. I typed in the login and the password, but I accidentally made a mistake and could not connect. I clicked on cancel and was then in the XP login screen, where I entered then the right login and password and it me connected to the virtual machine XP without problem.

    Now, the problem I have is every time I connect to computer virtual it asks me the login and the password on the login screen of XP and I don't have the option to connect using the login Windows Security screen, so it do not give me an option to save my password and login information. So, to make things worse is that moment every time I have to resize the virtual pc it then asks me to log in again.

    Is it possible to return me to the Windows security login screen where can I put my login instead of the XP login screen when it is not an option?

  • Cannot create an instance of the java virtual machine

    Hi when I try to launch my sql developer get this error

    Cannot create an instance of the java virtual machine located in the path C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_38\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll, but I do not have the file in the location

    I'm trying to do

    BI CHAOS: SQL Developer: cannot create an instance of the Virtual Machine Java

    Cannot create an instance of the Virtual Machine Java

    but am not able to locate file product.conf in my machine

    OK, we lost time because you said never explicitly release of SQL Developer in use, and then, when I deduced this wrong, you went right with it, rather than correct me.  Remember the line from Blade Runner when Harrison Ford hits Rutger Hauer in the head with a pipe?  Than hurt!

    Anyway, since the last post (because of the osgi references in the file ide.conf) I see that you are using a version 4.0.x of SQL Developer.  You must update the file product.conf with the smallest Xmx value in order to create an instance of the JVM.  If you have not yet found the product.conf file on your system, this might help: http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2013/12/oracle-sql-developer-4-windows-and-the-jdk/

    Otherwise, ask someone in your organization COMPUTER help - keep in mind that AppData is one of those hidden Windows directories, so you'll have to tell explore to make it visible by the organize > Folder Options > view > hidden files and folders parameters.  In addition, you should use Java 7, not Java 6 - try to get that upgrade to the latest version of jdk1.7.0_xx (currently 60, I think).  Since you never said if your JDK is 32-bit or 64-bit, I can not say to use an AddVMOption, Add32VMOption or Add64VMOption.

  • Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Scenario is,

    1. smart card reader is connected to the VM with card inserted in

    2 initiate a prompt suspension of the VM toolbar

    3. now to resume the virtual machine by using vmrun command into the host machine

    WS t vmrun start xxx.vmx

    Now, the recovery of VM but the smart card reader that was previously connected does not work properly in VM that is to say, sometimes after CV chip card reader driver is uninstalling and a few other times, chip connected to the drive is not available on a virtual computer

    My requirement is after power, smart card reader can stay connected to the virtual computer with the already installed driver and the smart card.

    Kindly help with this problem.

    Thank you!!

    Dear all,

    I had a work around for this problem. By adding "usb.autoConnect.device0 ="0xVID:0xPID"" this statement to the VMX file, solves this problem, that is, whenever the VM is wake-up by clicking on the link CV or using vmrun commands, it connects the unit in question automatically and it is charging correctly with his driver. Obtaining smart card detected after sleep\hibernate with no problems.

    VID & PID is respective ID of the device that can be seen in the properties of the Device Manager "Device Instance path".

  • virtual machine cannot start, because the snapshot of the virtual machine has been deleted by mistake.

    virtual machine cannot start, because the snapshot of the virtual machine has been deleted by mistake.

    When I start this virtual machine, it prompts: unable to find the 0001.vmdk, this disc is my shot, has been deleted by mistake.

    How to restore this virtual machine.

    You need help with a revival of the 000001.vmdk deleted or do you want to repair the virtual machine so that it works without the snapshot?

    The last option, follow these steps:
    remove the virtual machine from the inventory and edit the vmx file so that it uses the basedisk. Then add the virtual machine to inventory.
    If you need data from the snapshot call me through Skype "sanbarrow" - I may be able to help

  • Unable to connect to MKS: virtual machine configuration file does not exist

    Guys,

    Need a little help I'm running the following

    vCenter Server 4.0.0 (build 208111)

    ESX Server 4.0.0 (build 208167)

    I have a computer virtual running WIndows 2000 Advanced and when I try and open the console I get a black screen and the error message following

    "" Unable to connect to MKS: virtual machine configuration file does not exist '. "

    I scoured the data store and all the files of the virtual machine appear to be in place, I thought deletin the virtual machine from the inventory and add the vmdk file, it would be a good idea?

    Thank you.

    Remove and add new inventory won't hurt (you could lose data historial for virtual machine), it probably won't solve the problem.

    I doubt, it is a problem with the .vmx file, but you can try:

    -Remove the VM of the inventory

    -To create the new virtual machine (with the same characteristics as the virtual machine that you removed), name it differently and do not add hard drives that it

    -Change the new VM settings and add the existing VMDK virtual machine that you deleted

    -Power on VM and try

    • You should always have your complete file to the virtual machine original intact, in case you need, you will always have your original vmx file to add it to the inventory.

    By doing these steps you re-create the vmx file.

    Is this simple registration on the virtual hard disk, or did I miss something?

    My current create VM is the following statement:
