Change the virtual computer's network connection

Hello

I'm trying to find a way to change the network connection from the computer virtual network to another label.

You have an idea how I can do?

The virtual machine already exists.

Thank you

Yaniv

Here's how by using the Toolbox:

  • Is it possible I can get the virtual computer connectivity after restart to connect to the local network in the host operating system?

    Hi all

    For some reason, I have to disable and then enable the LAN connection in the host operating system. If some virtual machines are running during this time, connectivity all VMs for out-of-world are lost, they cannot connect to the host even more (by running the ping command). I tried a few methods to retrieve the connectivity, but all have failed, for example,

    1. reboot the virtual computer

    2. restart VMware Workstation

    3. restart the corresponding system services in the host operating system

    The only way I can retrieve all is to restart the host operating system itself.

    Yes, is there short any path, I can retrieve the connectivity of these virtual machines?

    Thanks in advance.

  • need to reconfigure the virtual computer after deployment of the vm

    Hi all

    I have a script to deploy a computer virtual to a CSV file. I need to change the configuration of virtual machine (CPU and memory) after the deployment of the vm. where the name of the virtual machine should be taken to csv. So any help is appreciated.

    Attach the script used. (downloaded and works fine)

    $vms = import-CSV D:\vm-deploy\vm-deploy.csv

    {foreach ($vm to $vms)

    $Template = get-model $vm.template

    $VMHost = get-VMHost $vm.host

    $OSCustomization = get-OSCustomizationSpec $vm.customization

    New-VM-name $vm.name - OSCustomizationSpec $OSCustomization - VMHost - $VMHost model $Template - $Datastore - Datastore RunAsync

    }

    # This cmd need to run after the vm deployment completed. The virtual computer name must come from the 1 column of the CSV file

    Set-VM $vmname - NumCpu 2 - MemoryGB 5 - confirm: $false

    Name, host datastore, Template, customizing

    Test-VM,vm-dep-test,ESX02,P5-vm-stage,vm-deploy

    A simpler, but not optimal, solution is to use the Wait-job cmdlet.

    Something like that

    $vms = import-CSV D:\vm-deploy\vm-deploy.csv

    $tasks = @)

    {foreach ($vm to $vms)

    $Template = get-model $vm.template

    $VMHost = get-VMHost $vm.host

    $Datastore = get-data store $vm.datastore

    $OSCustomization = get-OSCustomizationSpec $vm.customization

    $tasks += new-VM-name $vm.name - OSCustomizationSpec $OSCustomization - model $Template - VMHost $VMHost '

    Data - $Datastore - RunAsync store

  • Move-vm can migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

    When I try to move-vm has propelled off VM to a destination of DRS cluster, he says that he cannot migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster.   I can explicitly name the destination of the host and it works, but that defeats the purpose of using the DRS and forces me to script on the destination hosts.

    I do something wrong or I would be able to migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

    Thank you

    -MattG

    Hello, MattG-

    I get the same behavior as you when you try to move a VM PoweredOff to a DRS cluster, specifying the cluster as the value for the parameter - Destination to Move-VM (using PowerCLI v5.1 Rel 2 v5.5 Rel 1).  Not quite what I expected.

    To work around the problem, and without having to appoint a particular host as destination, you could use some Get-Random, do something like:

    Move-VM myVM0 -Destination (Get-Cluster myDestDRSCluster | Get-VMHost | ?{$_.State -eq "Connected"} | Get-Random) -RunAsync
    

    Who should receive the machine said cluster and on a host that is in the connected state.  A subsequent operation to the market (whenever do you eventually) should then see DRS power on the virtual machine on a suitable host in the cluster.

    Maybe the dev team can comment if this behavior is the expected or desired.

    Anyway, how does do for you?

  • Strange problem after moving from the virtual computer to a new data store

    I am migrating our VM existing (8 in total) a 'problem' RAID to a new table on a new controller and am having a strange problem. Here are the steps I took (host OS is Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS x 64):

    (1) off the power the virtual computer from the Web interface

    (2) the directories created for each virtual on the new RAID array computer (in this case a RAID 10 array on LSI 9750-8i controller)

    (3) rSync used to copy the data from RAID1 to be RAID2

    4) has created a new data store on the new RAID through the Web Server of VMWare user interface.

    (5) removed VM of the inventory through the Web, their return, added user interface then choose files .vmx on new data store on RAID2

    They have all power save fine... but three of them are not accessible on the network. I can open a console in the Web Server of VMWare user interface and they all run normally... but I can't their ping or access the respective virtual machine Web GUI. It seems quite arbitrary that those who work and those who are not. In this case... the VM that don't work is a license Autodesk, a Squid proxy server and a VM of cactus. All three of these virtual machines are 32-bit Ubuntu Server VM (two 8.0.4 and a 10.0.4)... and are the only Ubuntu VM on this host. It must be signifigant but I'm not see how.

    If I delete these three virtual machines of the inventory again and add to their original location (on the RAID1) they light up AND work normally. A consultant that we were working seemed surprised, as he had also done this experiment with some of the older VMWare products. I don't see how it would be the physical location of the files of the virtual machine. Any ideas?

    We rely on the migration to ESXi soon but in the meantime, we get these a few VM out of this RAID array problem. I'm stuck.

    Depending on the application, it may be enough to reconfigure the IP parameters (they are very probably on DHCP now) for the newly detected virtual NIC.

  • How to change the virtual machine after clone

    I'm a beginner to learn vm.

    Now, I already cloned a new existing virtual machine in a virtual machine.

    Then, I want to change it.

    (2) change the number of the processor

    (3) change the size of the memory

    (4) change the size of the disk

    How to do?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    You can clone the virtual computer to a model first and then deploy it to this model. For customizing the properties of guest operating system, you can use sysprep (from Microsoft) or customization Spesification Manager (from VMware vCenter Server). Of course, you can also configure it manually change settings menu (from vSphere Client).

  • Get the IP address of the virtual computer? (when no DNS available)

    I have a strange setup where I have a server vCenter runs in a private network that has no DNS available IN-HOUSE.  I am running the scripts that query an IP address range, but takes forever to run.  I can run get - vm and get all virtual machines, but can't do anything with them because there is no DNS and I can't find a way to enter the IP address of the virtual computer.  If I could get the IP addresses I could then run functions against them.  If it makes a difference those VMS have two network cards: Public and private.  Any ideas?

    The Get - VM cmdlet returns the IP addresses to the title of Guest.IPAddress count of the first IP address use as well:

    Get-VM |Where {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn" } |foreach { Write "$($_.Name) has an IPAddress of $($_.Guest.IPAddress[0])" }

  • How to change the virtual IP addresses in 6.5.1 on the Linux host?

    I am running Workstation 6.5.1 on a 64-bit Linux host (Fedora 10).

    The application of "Virtual Network Editor" is distinguished by its equivalent in Windows.  It is quite reduced in functionality.

    What I need is a way to change the virtual IP addresses.  In the editor, I can only change the overall range of subnet (network address and the sous-masque).  It works very well.  However, I can not change the individual IP addresses in there.

    In particular, I need to change:

    .1 = the host itself

    .2 = services internal VMware (server proxy DNS, router, gateway, NAT, DHCP etc.)

    How can I assign these on Linux?  Pour.2, I saw the "nat.conf" file in the directory/etc/vmware, under the number of the device (in my case vmnet8) vmnet.   Pour.1, I've seen this in a number of places, the DHCP server, and others.  Where does get this information from VMware?  What I don't want is to have to change this IP address in many places, because it will become easy to get out of sync.

    If I just use "ifconfig" to change the IP address, it is an approach of brute force that works, but of course it will not survive a reboot.

    Traditional networks of the host Linux tools are unaware of the vmnet addresses.  Somewhere, they are configured with VMware, not the distribution of the host.  So, I wonder where it is.

    Thank you!

    Josh,

    Here is what I do on my VMWare Wks 6.5.2:

    Files to edit:

    1 /etc/vmware/vmnetx/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf

    Change the following:

    (a) range

    (b) option domain-name-servers {10.10.10.254}

    (c) {10.10.10.254} option routers

    2 /etc/vmware/vmnetx/nat/nat.conf

    Change the following:

    (a) {10.10.10.254} ip - address of the NAT gateway.

    3 /etc/init.d/vmware script

    (a) check a function called vmwarestartvmnet()

    (b) after the/vmware-networks - the beginning of the line, add:

    ifconfig vmnetx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx {ip host address we want to}-> vmnet1 ifconfig 10.10.10.253

    This works perfectly for me. The only thing is that, once you change these files, make sure that you get a copy of them. Otherwise after any update or configuration change who will be overwritten.

    I hope that VMWare will come with a better way to do that instead of hacking these files manually.

    HTH,

    -Daniel.

    Hello

    The Windows XP operating system use a space on the hard drive as virtual memory. This means that a file is a space on the hard disk that Windows uses as if it were RAM.
    The file size is variable and you can change the size of file in the performance Options.

    Please go to control panel - system - Advanced tab. You will find the Performance parameters.
    In the performance Options, you will find 3 tabs (Visual effects, advanced, Data Execution Prevention). On the Advanced tab, you can find the option to change the virtual memory.
