• Connect a virtual machine to a new host

  I have 2 servers ESX (vSphere 4.0) and a Dell / EMC CX4-120 SAN.

  My 10 virtual machines are all located on the SAN within different LUNS and data warehouses.

  One of my ESX servers failed and 1 VM is still connected to it, because it has not migrated during the blackout.

  How can I reinstall this virtual machine to the host of work ESX Server 2 and turn on again?

  Hello

  First of all, certify if this virtual machine is turned off.

  If this virtual machine is turned on, try closed with command line - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004340

  and if the other host see all LUNS where this virtual machine have all disks, you can do:

  Click on desired host

  Configuration

  storage

  Browse DTX200

  Right-click in the VMX

  Add to the inventory

  PowerOn.

  Good luck

• How to connect 2 virtual machines?

  Hello world

  
  I am looking for a solution to this problem: I installed Workstation 7.1 on a
  Windows 7 Professional. It was fine. Then I built 2 virtual machines Windows XP. My goal was
  to interconnect the two of them to build a client-server example of infrastructure. But the
  machines see each other with ping. They are connected to the same virtual network
  (VMNet2) adapter with DHCP serving the IP´s. Concrete 10.10.1.128 and 10.10.10.129 with
  the mask of 255.255.255.0.

  I have reviewed the configuration in the virtual network repeatedly Editor, but there is no success.

  
  I really appreciate your help...

  You will need to get your Vm to consider the other VM as part of the same 'Home Network'

• Connect to virtual machines across multiple servers of connection for internal/external access

  Hello everyone

  My apologies if this is a silly question, but is it possible to have an individual virtual machine or pool accessible through multiple connection servers? Here is my setup and my scenario:

  Connection to server 1 - direct connect active, PCoIP, serving internal users.

  Connection to Server 2 - live disabled connect, RDP, coupled with a security server, serving external users.

  We seek to deploy Wyse PocketCloud on Wireless / 3G iPad so support for users outside the campus of the hospital can access their desktop.  Users will be expected to have office in the same condition as when they were on campus.  Our doctors are attracted to the iPad, then this will be a test for future deployment phase.

  VMS users are controlled by cs 1.  I would like that the possibility for users to directly connect to their virtual machines using PCoIP when they are internal and RDP via security server when they are external.  Is it possible without using a VPN or live with disabilities on cs connect 1?  I tried to add a virtual machine that has already been setup on cs 1 CS 2 but once cs 2 picks up I can connect is no longer the virtual machine through cs 1. Servers will also relay the reconfigure virtual computer every minute, so this is not the right way to do this.  Someone had customers or users who wanted to make something similar to this?  If so, how did you manage?

  Thanks in advance for your comments

  View what version are you running?  In later versions, you can set directly relate to the level of the server.  So now you can simply deploy a replica of your main connection server that runs Live mode while having your other login server in indirect.   This way you can have a view environment and run your desired configuration.

• How to connect computer virtual machine host

  HI gurus,

  I have 2 internal hard drives in a PC. Primary (host) disc hard have win 2003 server and an SAP system, 2nd drive hard having (machine VMWARE) win server 2003 and another of SAP systems. I want to connect SAP through RFC systems. How to connect the 2 devices? What are all the steps needed to connect these 2 machines and 2 SAP systems? How to ensure that the connection has been established?

  Concerning

  Raja

  Your uses (host only) VMnet 1 and IP network address of the 192.168.174.0 network. Your host has the address of node of 192.168.174.1 in this network. You can see VMnet1 host IP configuration.

  To be able to get the two machines communicate with each other, the guest must have an IP address in the same network. You have two options here, where I would choose one to make sure that the address does not change in the future (better for SAP I think):

  1. assign a static IP address at the prompt.

  Go to your comments and change IP address of 200.200.200.20 to 192.168.174.2.

  2. use of VMWare DHCP Server service.

  By default, this service must be running. Go to theguest and choose DHCP in TCP/IP configuration. The client will automatically get an IP address of 192.168.174.0.

  Enter the following lines in the files 'hosts' of the two systems:

  192.168.174.1 ecc6.mycompany.com ecc6

  192.168.174.2 sapserver sapserver.mycompany.com

  Now try if the communication works: open a DOS window on the host computer, and run the command "ping 192.168.1.2. You should receive the prompt responses.

  Try to ping the host from the host by using 'ping 192.168.174.1' there.

  As long as this does not work, nothing else to Word the communications between two machines.

  If this works, you should be able to use shared folders using the names from the "hosts" file or IP addresses.

  For example:

  ecc6\ +.

• Help to connect two virtual machines to internal network

  Hi all

  I have 9 of VMware Workstation, and I installed two identical WinXP VMs. I put them both on the same custom netowrk (VMnet3) setting. In the virtual network on my Win7 host editor I updated VMnet3 'Host-only (connect VMs internally in a private network)', and I have left empty the box "Connect an adapter to the virtual host to this network".

  What I'm trying to do is to connect the two virtual WinXP only between them, a small connection internal, so that a VM could ping on the other virtual computer, but cannot connect to my Win7 (real internet) host.

  Now both show WinXP that they are connected (the icon of the internet with two small screens is there), and they both have an IP assigned. However, does not ping one of them to another IP address.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

• No network connection on virtual machines

  Hello everyone

  I recently installed vmware workstation 10.0.2, created a few machines left the network settings of the default adapter (NAT)

  machines are running well, but I cant just internet access on any of them

  on my machine using the network host private wifi

  and I have the public network, with the network adapters VMnet1 and VMnet8 (obtain an ip automatically)

  Help, please! Maybe im just over worked and studied more.

  Grateful for any help!

  Stone

  > and I have the public network, with the network adapters VMnet1 and VMnet8 (obtain an ip automatically)

  These two virtual network cards must have private addresses, i.e. 192.168.xxx.1. If this isn't the case and/or NAT VM do not receive a DHCP subnet vmnet8 lease, you can try to click on the button "Restore Default" of the "Virtual Network Editor".

• Connectivity problem of virtual machines the host is rebooted.

  We restarted our esxi host and after reboot, we receive questions, with the connectivity of virtual machines hosted on that particular esxi only.

  The problem is that some virtual machines communicate on the network and some are not.

  There are two hosts in the cluster, if move us the virtual machines on another host, virtual machines are running well.

  The host has the same configuration with respect to the physical networking and configuration of virtual networking is concerned.

  ESXi version: 4.1

  You mentioned that host network configuration and good host network configuration problem is the same.

  Issues appeared after reboot the host, and until the battery has been replaced.

  I guess that something is wrong at the physical end itself.

  Is that possible, that you can stop the host again and obtain reinstalled network and power it turn it on again and test it.

  Because when the battery change is done server is put out of the rack, so I'm assuming that n/w card were not seated correctly. I have faced this kind of problem once and I did the same thing and things worked well for me.

• Connect virtual machine directly to LUN

  Hello.

  We have a physical (Windows 2003 R2) file server that connects to a SAN logical unit number.

  Is is possible to connect the virtual machine to the same LUN and be able to read the data?

  Thank you in advance!

  Yes, the rear drive even picked up by its E:\ status and everything was perfect.  I was a little worried at first as well, but it works so that I do not even stop thinking about doing more.

• ESXi 5.5 - Virtual Machine fails to PING the gateway and/or other hosts

  Hello ladies and gentlemen

  I have installed HP DL380p Gen8 1 with vmware ESXi 5.5.

  I have 1 with 2 vmnic Virtual Machine port group - vmnic0 and vmnic1 connect 2 virtual machines. If I have the TEAM network cards, a VM (selected) randomly is able to PING to the gateway while the 2nd VM is not. ESXTOP in this case, don't watch not the physical NETWORK card that each virtual computer connects to but says 'all' to the title of the team-TEDDY.

  If I break the team and you use only vmnic0 - none of the VMs connet to the gateway. If I create the vSwitch with only vmnic1 as usable NIC (vminc0 - unused) - once again only 1 VM (randomly chosen) is able to PING the gateway while the other is not (and two VMS use vmnic1 as the uplink to the vNIC).

  The physical ESX host connects to a Catalyst Cisco 2950 switch.

  Can you please advise where can I go from here? It could be a problem with the VLAN when it comes to vmnic0 (since none of the virtual computers are able to connect through this vmnic), but what is happening with vmnic1 (a virtual machine connects randomly while the other doesnot)...?

  I tried several forums without success.

  Managed to solve this one-

  1. The uplink switch (Catalyst 2950) was Port security enabled on all THE Ports.
  2. I had to disable the port on a given set of ports security (to which are connected the physical network adapters).

  Everything seems to work fine now.

  Bravo to all the entries!

• Access to the network in all virtual machines lost after that put 8.1 to level.

  Today, I upgraded my host computer to Windows 64-bit Pro 8.1. I did the upgrade through the Windows store. There are no errors or problems during the upgrade.

  However: The host machine equipped with a Qualcomm E2200 network adapter, and it runs the 'Killer' Network Manager software called at startup. After the 8.1 update, when the machine did its last restart, Qualcomm Network Manager opened with a message that the LSP has not mapped correctly. I clicked 'YES' to remap it. Probably a stupid move on my part.

  Thereafter, I lost all network connectivity in all my virtual machines. I have virtual machines for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 RTM (not the preview) and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. ALL of them have lost the network.

  The host computer has no network problem and works well after the upgrade.

  Any ideas or suggestions to reset network connections in virtual machines?

  All virtual machines are set to use NAT.

  Oh I have to say also that the host computer is running VMware Workstation 10 and everything was fine and dandy, has never had problems at all until this upgrade/LSP remap thing. I have install VMware Tools in the VM of Windows 8.1, with no effect at all.

  Thank you.

  Two things, I'll try:

  1. go in the virtual network editor and restore settings. The culprit is probably the VMNet to NAT configuration.

  2. If this does not work, it seems that the virtual card for NAT does not somehow. The simplest workaround is to uninstall and reinstall the workstation.

• Cannot install XP updates in a new virtual machine

  I have vmware 8.0.4 on my work desktop and laptops computers, who have all two Win 7 with AVG antivirus. I installed XP Pro SP2 on both. When I try to install the updates I get these errors:

  Windows Update:

  0x8024400a

  Microsoft Update:

  0 x 80240036

  and this message:

  «The site has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to post...» »

  I have disabled everything I can disable AVG and I still get these errors. I can't understand what is blocking updates. Any advice would be appreciated!

  Is the Internet/network-connectivity based Virtual Machine?  If yes then it is not a question of VMware, it's a Windows XP update problem and you need to do as you would on a physical machine to fix this.  I download Windows XP SP3 for professionals (this is not downloaded through Windows updates) and install it and then see if Windows Update started working.  Otherwise Google the error messages and follow what already exists on the Internet.

• Open a virtual machine in a san on 2 different esx hosts

  Hi, I have a Vsphere essentials, 2 Esx hosts and an Iscsi san, I need to connect the virtual machine in the two esx hosts (I know I don't have FT and HA), in order to launch the virtual machine never the first Esx and if first host, does not have the virtual machine on the second esx.

  I tryied to connect the virtual machine to the second host, but the Vsphere client tell me that's not possible, because the virtual machine is already present at the first ESX.

  There is a way to establish this setting?

  For some it may depend on your application, if you can run multiple instances of the same application? If it is a web application? It stores its data in files on the server, or it stores it in a database locally? or remote database?

  -VM on a local storage of the army, would not really recommended if you need so that it starts the VMS on host b quickly.

  -If the two hosts have access to permits it storage even say and what the application can really be run only once.  He could only save it to HostA and if it fails at some point that it will be released the lock, have it on the virtual machine and you will be able to manually register the virtual machine to host b and start the virtual machine.  However, you will not be able to really get ahead.

  -HA out of here, as if a host or power failure shuts on HostA, HostB will feed into the virtual machine down automatically

  -FT - here in the spectrum creates a VM ghost on the secondary host in levels (what happends on HostA happens on host b)

  -Another option to the other end of things has implemented Microsoft MSCS Clustering with iSCSI support I think.  You can run VMS with iSCSI to your San and clustered like this application.  Just note that with iscsi client it uses some CPU to create iscsi packets.

  -Web Cluster, Cluster database.    It doesn't matter if one of the nodes of web servers or the database nodes go down really that the user will be redirected to another node in the cluster so really no need for HA/FT.

  Of course, with some of the here above are expenses and pro / con of and there's a few ways to increase availability.

• VShield Configuration Manager 4.1 (and how to protect a virtual machine?)

  I have 2 ESXi hosts currently configured in vCenter 4.1.  Before vShield installation Manager, he had 3 vSwitches present on each server; a regular and two distributed.

  • vSwitch0 - connected to vmnic0 - has management and production of network 1 10.168.90.x

  • VLAN 10.1 - VMFN connected to vmnic1 on each host - connects to the private physical network 10.1.x.x

  • VLAN 10.2 - VMFN connected to vmnic2 on each host - connects to the private physical network 10.2.x.x

  After you install vShield Manager in a new virtual machine and then to deploy vShield Zones to each ESXi host, develops a new vSwitch

  vmservice-vswitch - again group of ports in Virtual Machine vmservice-vshield-pg - not connected to any physical cards

  VMS individual vShield-FW created for each host have connected network cards as below

  • Production network normal 1 - VM Network adapter (attached to vSwitch 0).

  • Production network normal 2 - VM Network adapter (attached to vSwitch 0).

  • Adapter 3 - vmservice-vshield-pg network

  I tried to connect my VMs to the network vmservice-vshield-pg in order

  to protect them and place them behiind the firewall.  However, who has

  seem to work, and my VM has lost network connectivity.

  How to protect a virtual machine that needs to connect to the normal production

  Network (on vSwitch0)?  Is there any configuration steps I'm missing?

  What happens if I want to connect a virtual machine or one of its network cards to one of the 10.1.xx

  or 10.2.x.x networks rather than the normal 10.168.90.x network?  What

  additional steps should I make?  The new 4.1 documentation is not

  helped at all, and it seems that the old vShield Zones 1.0 docs are not

  applies to all.

  There is no need to change the virtual computer is connected to the network.

  Just activate/install vShield zones on your hosts and add rules to the vSwitch or data center.

  The virtual machine will be becomes protected if no error is displayed.

• Private network between two or more virtual machines?

  I've been running an educational network configuration kind of base on esxi to work to teach their colleagues how running things. To do this I create a separate switch, connect the virtual machines to (only) the switch and run Ethereal on a machine with network in promiscous mode.

  Now, I would do it on my laptop. Can I do this with the merger? Can I network machines without connecting to the host (to ensure that there is no additional noise)? Can I configure a NIC in promiscous mode?

  sflanders wrote:

  I think the important part of the question is in regards to the networking VMs as they see, but not the host (btw merger networking of information: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-2527). Basically, it boils down to the host option only and the answer is no.

  In fact, the answer is yes because after that Virtual Machines are started can be simply down the vmnet1 network card and thus isolate the virtual machines between them.

  In other words on the network of Machines target virtual host-only and then start them up to the point where they receive their IP address DHCP host-only server, then in a Terminal on Mac (/ Applications/Utilities /) use the following command in low only Ethernet adapter of the host host.

  sudo ifconfig vmnet1 down
  

  Now the target of the Virtual Machines will be able to communicate only with each other and not the host.

  Note: You must down only Ethernet adapter of the host host after the virtual machines have acquired their IP addresses, because if you down the adapter before the Virtual Machines will not receive their IP addresses.

  The host only allows virtual machines to see the host, but it really shouldn't be any other "noise". Why do you have to be concerned about this?

  On the question of the noise, I think that VMware Fusion actually uses virtual hubs, no virtual switches (even if by mistake, VMware calls virtual switches), there is a risk of bleeding, and this has been discussed ad nauseam and various forums.
