change the virtual switch to the virtual hub

Hallo,

all the networkadapters are virtual switch. How can I change to a hub? I'd like to sniff my networktraffic with a guestsystem, but that only works with a hub. Or can I change some settings to do this with esxi?

version: ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 110271

You can set it on a vSwitch or Portgropup

Click Edit, switch or PG-> Security-> Promiscous Mode-> accept

Take a look at the Config Guide http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_3_server_config.pdf

If you also want traffic on your pSwitch, you create a mirror on your pSwitch port.

  • How to change the name of VirtualSwitch without running virtual MAchines of braking?

    Does anyone know how to change the name of the virtual switch (used by VM) without braking the VM running in this cluster?

    The best way to do this without losing network connectivity is add a group of ports with the new name and connect the virtual machines to the new group of port and when the initial group of port is empty remove - remember that it's the port group named not the vswitch.

    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.

    Well, I tried to find the latest driver for my card, I could find anything to the atheros website (what gives?).

    Win 7 told me I got the latest driver, but I wouldn't trust windows update, as they said that my ethernet card was up-to-date (see 7.04) and when I went on the Realtek site, driver to v.7.23...

    Anywho! I was not able to change the channel for the ad - hoc connection. I tried the connection with a PC and still cannot connect (so not a problem related to Mac).

    I don't know what is happening with the miniport module or the wireless card (I tried different settings in properties and the Advanced Options tab, as power management), but it just would not work. So I got this router, and everything works fine.

  • You cannot use vSphere client to change the settings of the virtual machine v10 or more

    Hello

    I just downloaded new version of Kali Linux to do some tests with my free version of ESXi update 5.5 2, the problem is that I can't change the settings of the virtual machine in vSphere Client.

    It's so good because of the independence of Web OS Client vSphere but what about the free version? Everyone knows you need a vCenter running successfully and a license for the vSphere Web Client.

    There is no free version of VMWare vCenter.

  • VCO allows you to change the owner of the Virtual Machine

    Hello

    All the world has discovered a way to change the owner of a virtual computer through vCO?

    I can update the IaaS record with the new owner:

    //Find the vCAC Owner Object
    var modelName = 'ManagementModelEntities.svc';
    var entitySetName = 'Users';
    var filter = "indexof(UserName,'" + Owner + "') gt -1";
    var orderBy = '';
    var top = 1;
    var skip = 0;
    var headers = null;
    var select = null;
    var entity = vCACEntityManager.readModelEntitiesBySystemQuery(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, filter, orderBy, select, top, skip, headers);
    
    
    System.log("User Name - " + entity[0].properties.get("UserName"));
    
    
    
    
    //Setup new links
    var links = {
      Owner: entity[0]
    }
    
    
    //Update VM with new Owner Link
    var updateProperties = new Properties();
    System.getModule("com
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    ibrary.vcac").updateVCACEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, "VirtualMachines", vCACEntity.keyString, updateProperties, links, null);
    

    Is anyway to update this information in the COFFEE database as well? The owner of the object of custom resource field is read-only, and there is no method to set the owner.

    Thank you

    James

    After a few trials and investigations... I thought about it. Basically, you must update the link as posted on the virtualmachine entity owner earlier. You then the kickoff of operations workflow 2, UpdateMachineNotes and UpdateMachineOwner.

    UpdateMachineNotes updates the VRMOwner field in vsphere, UpdateMachineOwner updates the DB COFFEE (I guess, did not follow it throughout again).

    After creating the operation, you must add 2 workflowoperationarguments to identify which virtual machine to run the operation on and the user of the identity for the operation.

    The following code executes a UpdateMachineNotes:

    //Global Variables
    var modelName = 'ManagementModelEntities.svc';
    var links = null
    var headers = null;
    
    //Create the workflow operation
    System.log("Create operation.")
    var entitySetName = 'WorkflowOperations';
    var properties = {
       OperationName:"UpdateMachineNotes"
    };
    var operation = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers);
    
    //Setup variables for arugments
    var entitySetName = 'WorkflowOperationArguments';
    var links = {
      "WorkflowOperation":operation
    }
    
    //Create workflow argument 1
    System.log("Create argument 1.")
    var properties = {
       Name:"VirtualMachineId",
       Value:vCACVM.virtualMachineID.toString()
    };
    var argEntity1 = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers);
    
    //Create workflow argument 2
    System.log("Create argument 2.")
    var properties = {
       Name:"IdentityUser",
       Value:Owner
    };
    var argEntity2 = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers);
    

    The following code executes a UpdateMachineOwner:

    var modelName = 'ManagementModelEntities.svc';
    var entitySetName = 'WorkflowOperations';
    var links = null
    var headers = null;
    
    var properties = {
       OperationName:"UpdateMachineOwner"
    };
    System.log("Create operation.")
    var operation = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers);
    
    var entitySetName = 'WorkflowOperationArguments';
    var links = {
      "WorkflowOperation":operation
    }
    
    System.log("Create argument 1.")
    var properties = {
       Name:"VirtualMachineId",
       Value:vCACVM.virtualMachineID.toString()
    };
    var argEntity1 = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers);
    
    System.log("Create argument 2.")
    var properties = {
       Name:"IdentityUser",
       Value:Owner
    };
    
    var argEntity2 = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers);
    

    Running an update owner, followed by these 2 operations link, will do exactly the same thing would have operations by clicking "Edit" in the GUI.

    -James

    Edit: The owner variable, should be in the format of @. vCACVM, is an IaaS VM object. vCACHost is a host of vCAC IaaS.

  • Change the operating system selected a virtual machine under tension in vCenter

    Is this possible? I looked in the box change the Settings - Options - but I can't see the usual fall down?

    You should turn off the machine.

    If you have made a mistake by setting for 32-bit or 64 - bit or vice versa, it does not really affect the virtual machine.

    If you have entirely changed the operating system, then you will need to power off and do it right that there is again a critical impact. the operating system you choose decides the type of SCSI controllers and things.

    I suggest you set a stop and do time.

  • Is there a way to change the connection string to the database by using the command line on the virtual machine?

    Hi, I use 1.5 space Horizon

    can someone help me by telling me where I can change the connection string for the database on the virtual machine itself.

    I was away, and our stuff has been migrated databases to another server. Now my horizon does not connect because it can not find the database. I can either on the hwconfigurator.xxx.com.

  • Add virtual machines to a data store while changing the name?

    I am trying to create a virtual machine in standby (or more, I do not have a final number) in a second datacenter.  The goal is to have a copy of a group of virtual machines updated once a week as a relief.

    I'll use our SAN replication to keep them up-to-date, so once a week, I stop all virtual machines in the data store, remove them from the inventory and remove the data store.  Then on the side of SAN, I'll create a new copy of the data store, then add this data store to vSphere.  We will do a few rounds of network to ensure we have not any change in the network that should be taken in the virtual machine.

    The only changes to the virtual machine that needs to be done, are changing the vSwitch is logged in, that I understood, and to rename the virtual machine, either before being added, or when it is added.  Since it is a copy of a virtual machine running, I'm not able to add all virtual machines to the new data store.  I need either change the name of the virtual machine before being added, or when it is added.  All I have to do to change the name is add something like - backup at the end of the name of the virtual machine.

    Is it reasonably simple way to do this?  It seems that he was promised that we could do that and now I need to find a way to make it work.

    Thank you

    You can search the data for the VMX store you want to register a script like the one you'll find in VMX Raiders revisited.

    To change the name of the virtual machine, you will need to replace the line that contains the New - VM cmdlet with something like this

    $newName = $VMXFile.DatastoreFullPath.split('/')[1].Split('.')[0]New-VM -VMFilePath $path -Name ($newName + "-backup") -VMHost $ESXHost -Location $VMFolder -RunAsync
    
  • Impossible to change the settings for virtual memory by using Fusion 5 on MacBook Air

    I use VMWare Fusion 5.0.3 and I'm trying to start a picture.  The image complains that I need to reduce the virtual memory settings.  I go to settings: processors and memory and reduce from 4 GB to 2.5 GB image. There is no button Save, so I click on the red X.  I tried this several times using several ways to access the settings and that you can save them using any combination.  I started a VMWare image which has 2 GB configured 'work' and was unable to change these settings as well.  My MacBook Air has 4 GB of physical RAM.

    Okay - problem solved, but do not really exactly know how; but Dariusd started me in the right direction. I was at VMWare 4.1.x last week and recently updated to v5.0.3. I don't remember having these problems before. When I launched my VMWare image running in v4.1.x around v5.0.3, initially asked me if I wanted to move the VM and I said no.  I restarted the VM today (after having deleted all files and not pumped up the images once again) and responded yes, this time to upgrade. However, just after I tried to upgrade the virtual machine I got the error message "not enough of memory" again. So I then when in the parameters, as Dariusd suggested and changed the number of processor to 1 and changed the value of memory: However, it did not work. BUT, I did it again, changed the number of processors to 4 and then lowered the memory to 1024 as VMWare has suggested. IT WORKED! So I don't know if it was the attempt to upgrade the size of memory VM (which I doubt) or change to 4 processors as well as the update of the memory. Be it, I'm in place and thank you!
