• 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?

• Assign a static IP address via DHCP based on the Mac address of the virtual machine

  Hi all

  It is especially a feature request, as I'm sure that it is not currently possible to do what I want to do...

  I would like to be able to assign static IP addresses to VM without having to manually configure the network settings of the virtual machine directly. I want to be able to do it from the DHCP settings in the virtual network Editor.

  Most of the routers DHCP allow this. They give an IP address through DHCP based on the MAC address of the client. This means that the customer is concerned that he receives a regular IP DHCP address, but it is never change.

  DHCP is the default option for all OS this makes things much easier to manage, as IP addresses is assigned in the same way, in one place for all DHCP clients, regardless of the client operating system, and without having to manually keep track of which the IP is assigned to which customers etc..

  Also AFAIK at least for Ubuntu, you cannot assign a static IP address without having to also statically assign to the DNS server. It is only the IP address I need to be static, so I prefer not to have to worry about manually assign the DNS server.

  I can just kind of fudge making the really long DHCP lease duration, but the maximum is 99 days only, so finally addresses are going to change, that would mean a whole bunch of reconfiguration for VM services, etc..

  Does anyone know if the workstation 9 has this ability? I am currently on version 8, but I would probably upgrade this function only if she can do it.

  If there is no way to do what I want to directly through the virtual network Editor, can anyone recommend a way to do this, perhaps using Guest only network and then, by running a kind of services to the 3rd party NAT and DHCP on the host?

  Thank you

  Eugene

  There is no GUI option to get what you are looking for, but you can do it manually. Please take a look at Re: assign a static IP to guest with network adapter NAT Virt? where I posted an example.

• expose the virtual machine via home router

  Hello

  I have my router configured to allow access to a virtual machine running Ubuntu 64 bit headless. The router allows port 80 to pass to the virtual machine. I was able to access the machine's web server once and then I get an error saying that the connection has expired. Determine, I can connect to the Web server on the computer virtual machine host through the LAN IP. I tried bridged and NAT.

  When debugging this issue, I changed the configuration of the router to allow access to port 80 on the host computer. This succeeded and I see VM host machine from outside my local network.

  I looked around your site and google, but I can't use the correct search terms. Can you point me to the documentation for it or let me know how do ?

  Thank you

  -Rob

  If you use the NAT, the virtual machine is originally a host-level NAT address (172.x.y.z) that your Internet router knows nothing.  You can forward port 80 on the router IP of your host, and then configure/Library/Application Support / VMware Fusion/vmnet8/nat.conf port 80 requests for port forward to address 172 of your VM on port 80.  Need to turn off Apache on OS X, if it works because it would cause a port conflict.

  Your other option is to change the VM from NAT filled, in which case your OS X and your Ubuntu VM would be on the same subnet with a DHCP address, given by the Internet router.  The router might forward traffic directly to the virtual machine without any additional port forwarding.

• Access to the BlackBerry through the USB port on the virtual machine VMWare

  I have my development environment configuration in VMWare virtual machine, and I have no problems of deployment of BlackBerry applications on a simulator that runs as another virtual machine. The problem starts when I try deploying to the device via the USB port. The address is assigned when the mode of development on the device is not accessible from the VM, but only from my host, who do me any good, since as I said my IDE is in the virtual machine. A way to solve this problem? I can still deploy to the device via wi - fi (which is btw access via different ip - one given by the network) by this can sometimes be slow depending on the strength of the signal, etc, so I prefer to be able to deploy via the USB port.

  Just in case anyone has the same problem, how to activate must, VMWare Player click on the USB icon (to the right) and choose to disconnect from the host. Connecting the USB port at the prompt. Stupid...

• Run the virtual machine on the SSD or external HARD drive

  Hi all

  For school I need a large number of virtual machines. In total, I have about 140 GB of VM. And with a total of 250 GB of SSD on my macbook pro, which is for many.

  If I want to move my VM on an external hard drive.

  My question is what is the best type of external hard drive that I can get.

  It's a normal with a thunderbolt connection HARD drive or an external hard drive SSD with USB 3.0 connection.

  Who is the fastest, and I see a lot of delay compared to my normal internal drive of the SSD.

  I don't want a disc HARD normal 3.0, it may slow down the VM to a large part.

  Hello

  If you ask a normal hard drive vs SSD then the SSD will win anytime, regardless of the USB3 or love at first sight.

  An SSD using thunderbolt would be preferable, but I don't know if they are easy to find.

  The advantage of having a via USB3 SSD, is that the disc is easy to use also other non-apple machines.

  An SSD in USB3 should work fine however.

  Side note:

  As you have an external connection there is a risk of the drive is disconnected/offline when you use the virtual machine. This can cause whatever it is the corruption of data to have a virtual machine that is completely missing. So if this is going to be your Setup program then make sure to make regular backups of these virtual machines to another disk.

• Monitoring VM - how to restart the virtual machine

  Hi all

  Hit a problem in our environment that can not be solved, but wanted to tender hand to people and see if they have found a way to replace.

  Currently have followed vm enabled in our cluster. Thing is watching us to restart the virtual machine VMware tools demonstrated to a status of "not running" - now, the key is to most of the definitions, the system is available in this case, can be crazy, RDP'ed etc, but we here again them restarted as he finally solves the issue we see (for example unable to connect via citrix for the machines in question)

  Duncan in the post below highlights in order to avoid false positives any i/o to storage/network activity will be verified after that heatbeats failed to "double check" there is a problem with the virtual machine

  Favorite VM monitoring (aka VM HA) - yellow bricks

  What I asked is it possible to replace verification of network storage/IO activity and then restart the virtual machine VMware tools on them stops as soon as?

  Many tx for all thoughts

  «.. . is there a way to replace check network activity of storage/IO and then restart the virtual machine of VMware tools on them stops as soon as...? »

  You can always use a supervision-process inside the virtual machine for this tool (perhaps more followed VM). It acts independently and allows much finer control, i.e. it can try first (re) start vm-tools before restarting. Same BSOD /-kernel panic can be dealt with by VM itself. It can actually be even more robust, not dependent on VMware infrastructure.

• 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.

• Run the script inside the virtual machine the user when the user connects or reconnects

  Hello

  is it possible to detect the user that the user has connected or reconnected to his office inside the virtual machine and run a script?

  It is also possible within the VM user to determine if the user is connected and how long?

  One way to do this is via the following powershell command, but this only works if the user is connected through PCoIP Protocol.

  Get-WmiObject-class Win32_PerfRawData_TeradiciPerf_PCoIPSessionGeneralStatistics - SessionDurationSeconds property

  Best regards

  > it is possible to detect the user that the user has connected either reconnected to his office inside the virtual machine and run a script?

  You can run scripts as user on login and reconnect, this has been a feature since 3.0. See running commands on the desktop view.

  > It is possible inside the VM user to determine if the user is connected and how long?

  I don't think that we expose, but you should be able to query Windows for the connection time, or you could write the last time to connect with a script (maybe that is the reason for your first question?).

• In opening the virtual machine: "could not find a peer valid to connect to" or "error of Transport (VMDB) - 32" / "-14" ""»

  Hello

  Since yesterday after a reboot of my host (DELL E6410, W7 SP1 64-bit, 8 GB RAM, 2x750GB SATA3 running WorkStation 9.0.2 Update Windows Update), I can't open my existing VM.

  I often get "can not find a valid peer to connect to" and sometime before: "Transport (VMDB) - 32 error: Pipe: reading is not'or'error of Transport (VMDB)"-14: fitting broke"»

  I worked for 2 years on this machine without a hitch, WS7 reclassification in WS9 without any problem.

  FYI: we have changed the domain 3 months ago, but it has never be a problem.

  I have google and search several Forum. So far, I tried to:

  -restart the service vmware-auth as an administrator

  -launch vmware.exe administrator

  stop/start the vmx86 service

  -uninstall / reboot / install Workstation.  3 times. First using uninstall from the Control Panel, then doing a / clean before installation and finally track down any file/reg entry.

  -HE asked if any group policy changes were made recently (like not allowing to run vmware.exe?)

  -Rename vmware.exe (logs I look similar to what is in this post: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/331099?start=0 & tstart = 0 ... but no luck)
  

  -excluded vmware.exe in my AV (Microsoft ForeFront). Unfortunately, in that I'm not allowed disabled...

  -Open the virtual machine using the drive == > does not work either.

  This isn't a file corrupted in a virtual machine (even backup - 7zipped - don't work on my laptop... but the launch on the other).

  Even a newly created WM (boneless), unbootable! :-(

  *, BUT to BE NOTE *: if a virtual machine is created as a shared virtual machine, I can start the application locally remotely! And this same VM, if started (via the.vmx) does not work using Workstation GUI!

  I have attached 2 newspapers. Work a (vmware.log remotely) and the inactive (vmware-vmx - 4072.log thru WS GUI).

  Of after what I saw (and what little I understand), it's as if the CPU is not detected?

  The two newspapers have this line:

  FeatureCompat: EVC masks:

  but the non-working goes - we with

  Module CPUID initialization failed.

  While working it display information on CPU (hostCPUID name / family / type... etc...)

  Any idea is welcome.

  I'll answer me to my problem!

  A lot of research to this knowledge.

  In summary: don't mess with the processor affinity... or keep it in mind!

  Response to distinguish:

  I installed 6 months ago a small utility named prio (search for "PRI prnwatch"), because it can save the priority of a given process. What I did notice, is that it also save the processor affinity ! What happened: I probably changed the affinity once for a VM running to give greater priority to a 7zip archive process to complete more quickly (setting HT no core to 7zip and one - or 2? - HT core to VM). Everything works until the next reboot, where the CPU detection during * start EVERY * VM has been somewhat "damaged" leading to the wrong log message: failed initialization Module CPUID.

  This is the reason of *my* question. Perhaps it might help someone else?

  TIPS:

  For advanced people who do not want to check the processor affinity of each process in the Task Manager, you can try this Windows Powershell command (remember to launch PowerShell as an administrator):

  Get-Process | Format-Table-PriorityClass name, ProcessorAffinity property

  ProcessorAffinity column gives the number of representation of the authorized core, 1-bit by heart.

  15 = 1111 is all possible core (for a logical processor 4). Mine is 1 CPU with 2 core HT <=>4.

  LSB is the core lowest. So if you allow only core0 and core3 (1001) on a process, the number of ProcessorAffinity will be 9...

• Clone the virtual machine to the local data store

  Hi all

  I'm looking to automate a task daily (or almost) of my friends with a small script with powercli.

  I'm trying to "backup" or to clone a virtual machine, I work in a storage of one of our servers.

  The servers are managed by a 5.1 vCenter and the machine is on a shared storage.

  From time to time, I clean, stop the machine, remove all snapshots and clone the virtual machine to one of the local server as a backup storage. So I put together a small script which almost works. It works as long as the target data store is a shared storage, but not with a local storage.

  I get always an error that claims it can not access the local data store and is not a permissions problem...

  Given that I can accomplish this via the customer without problem I thought it is possible via powercli too, or I'm wrong?

  My Script up to now:

  # Variables

• 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.
