• [Beginner] How to change the virtual machine name

  Hello

  How can I change the name of a Virtual Machine - I want to say the name that appears in VMPlayer (or VMWare Fusion) as it has recently used Virtual Machines. I tried to change the name of the vmx file but this does not affect the name of the virtual machine displayed in VMPlayer.

  Thank you very much.

  VMware Fusion 3.x and 2.x but not 1.x, you can click on and change the name of the virtual machine in the Virtual Machine library on the right side, just under the display area.

  For VMware Player you need to edit the "displayName ="parameter in the configuration file .vmx and of VMware Player virtual machine must be closed when you perform this operation."

• 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 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.

• Tecra m2V faced with applications. Need to change the virtual memory?

  I have a Tecra M2V under XP. I've been experiancing slowdowns in all of my running applications. I have cleaned the readers of PC, defragmented etc but there seems to be no change.

  What is virtual memory? If so, how can I solve them?

  If this isn't the case, is to do with XP - I mean with each XP update that we had there at - it something like the BIOS settings that need to be updated?

  TIA

  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.

  Good bye

• How to leave the virtual switch as a physical switch law in esxi 5?

  Hello.

  I have Esxi5 installed on a server with 3 physical network card (they are supported and found in Esxi) on that Esxi I installed a virtual-SIN (NexentaStor) machine. The first network adapter is connected to the router, the second network adapter is connected to a PC. DHCP is enabled on the router. Normally on a real switch all connected pc should automatically get an IP address from the server (router), or must be able to communicate when they have a fixed IP address. This does not work on the virtual switch. One of my virtual pc Gets an IP address in a range of false, and I can't connect a real PC at this switch

  2 questions:

  1. Should what settings I use in esxi5 to get virtual pc the good IP address?
     
  2. Is it possible to connect a real pc directly to the second NIC in my esxi server and use the virtual switch as a true switch? In this way, I can use the Gigabit Nic for a fast and direct connection to the virtual NAS and can connect to the internet via the switch?
     

  

  Any help would be appreciated

  ESXi does not NAT unlike VMware Server or Workstation/Fusion.

• Mix the virtual switch different type in a Cluster and a data center.

  Can I mix standard virtual switch and a virtual switch distributed in different hosts to a Cluster/DataCenter? Can I vMotion virtual machine to a host of switch distributed to a host of standard switch and vice versa? Let's assume that the hosts have the same port group name (but have virtual swaitch different type), in the same data center, and have the same subnet IP vMotion.

  You can mix standard switches and distributed, that's what we call hybrid architecture... but to be able to migrate virtual machines between virtual switches, you must the vSphere 6 and again there are some limitations, like not be able to migrate from VDS vs.

  Have a look here for more details on the cross switch vMotion: http://www.vladan.fr/vmotion-enhancements-vsphere-6-0/

• How to change the virtual machine after clone

  (3) change the size of the memory

  (4) change the size of the disk

  How to do?

  I use c# API. I put something when clone?

  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).

• How to set up the virtual switch vmnet0 so in fact, it behaves like a switch.

  Hello

  I have a problem:

  My configuration is:

  host of CentOS 5.3 using vmware server 1.06

  3 clients (all centos 5.3 with vmware tools) installed

  web01

  DB01

  backup01

  The three guests have public ip and use the bridged (vmnet0) network

  The backup01 backups web01 and db01 every night.

  My supplier can see that traffic on its poort switch that connects the host to the internet, and he wants to charge me for it.

  The three guests (and host) are all on the same subnet. It is the local subnet traffic that does not use a gateway.

  It seems the traffic between hosts is diffuse on my physical eth0 on the host. When I have some files between guests, it also appears on the page from my supplier of PCs followed AY. (Just likecommunication between 2 physical host computers are on the local network when you use a hub instead of a switch)

  I thought it was probably the only way to vmware would work when using network bridges. Because the host doesn't know anyting on the clients ip numbers.

  But when googleling abot this I found several docuemtents (for vmware server 2) telling me that vmnet0 is actually a sort of virtual switch.

  If this is true this virtualswitch should know other mac adressess clients (arp who a..) and she must stop the internal traffic to leave the material.

  Is not what is happinging. It looks more like a virtualhub instead of virtual switch.

  So I was wondering if there are ways to configure the vmnet0 somehow. I was hot, but I can't find anything about it.

  I don't want to change the bridged mode or coz internal use of the intellectual property of the plan is to spit the separate web01 and db01 to vmware guests in the furture.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  My idea was to put an additional physical switch between me and my switch to suppliers, but that seems to be a ridiculous solution.

  Any help is welcome.

  Concerning

  Hans Groot

  VMserver don't use virtual switches: it uses virtual hubs. They are mislabeled - probably because "virtual switch" sounds more sexy than "virtual hub".

  You can't change their behavior to be more like a switch

  jamieorth,

  Can you provide the logs as an attachment to this topic?

  Windows 2000 generally fails to 97% for a variety of reasons and next to these fall into being a "reconfiguration" of the fault.  If the virtual machine is the surplus on the destination, we are able to complete this last 3%.

  Here's a few kbs for breaches of 97% example:

• With the help of deployment plan to change the virtual directory mapping

  Hi all
  Have anyone tried this before?
  I have a deployment plan to add the virtual directory to my descriptors of weblogic as follows:
  
  Inside tag <>variable-definitions:

   <variable> 
        <name>LocalPath</name>
        <value>C:/</value>
      </variable> 
      <variable>
        <name>VirtualPath</name>
        <value>/Temp/*</value>

        <uri>WEB-INF/weblogic.xml</uri>
        <variable-assignment>
