• How to set up/configuration of the network on virtual servers?

  We just bought the license for vSphere with two processors. I will put up at least three virtual servers on that host computer. Can someone point me to an instruction step by step on how to set up the network so that each guest operating system will have their own unique IP address and/or MAC address? The server is an HP Proliant DL380 G7 with two NIC standard more map of the ILO.

  Any suggestion is appreciated.

  MAC address of the virtual machine is generated by ESXi host when you first power on the virtual machine and the IP address will be assigned by an existing DHCP server or you can configure it manually. Regardless of the implementation of a server as a virtual or physical machine, you generally EF static IP settings to a server system.

• Possible to have the physical and virtual units of ESA in the same group?

  Given the scarcity of available information about virtual appliances, anyone have any ideas if it is possible to run a physical C160 and a C300V running the same version of ASyncOS in the same cluster.  I need to migrate from physical to virtual and has been evalualting the possbilty of the migration to the C300V from the C160 by adding a C300V to a cluster and then decommissioning the C160.

  Someone know about this?

  Thank you

  Nathan-

  Yes.  You can, as long as the appliance and virtual appliance running the same AsyncOS.  The "clusterconfig" command will work in the same exact way.  You need to just make sure that your C300V has the featurekeys loaded in order to run the cluster.

• I am often unable to enter text with the physical or virtual keyboard, making research and impossible connections in Firefox, forcing me to use Chrome. What to do

  Use Google Nexus 9 with the latest Android. Since one of the recent os updates the keyboard sometimes fails to appear when I enter a text box on a page while using Firefox. This makes research and connections-impossible. Bluetooth virtual and physical keyboards fail to register. It is intermittent. Visit the same page in Chrome has no problem, but I want to continue with Firefox. Please let know us, if I can't fix this I'll have to give up Firefox. Shame!

  Hi Rijumati,
  I understand that there are some forms on a few Web sites that does not load a keyboard to enter data in this text field. I'm happy to help you.

  For the test, can you please give an example where that happens?
  Also this happens with the default keyboard or another has been added?

• copy the folder between virtual centres

  What is the fastest way to copy a folder of models one vcenter to another vm?

  I think the best way would be to export to the FVO and import it into the new VCenter or use SCP from host to host.  If it's a different cluster/datacenter in the VCenter even, you can rotate upward and then reset the network label.

  Here is an article on the copy between hosts ESXi (which wouldn't matter at this point on VCenters):

• How to know the difference between RDM physical and virtual

  Hello!

  How can I see if a RDM (RAW device) is physical or virtual?

  I can see it in the vmx file or easily elsewhere?

  I have a few servers running both VMFS and RDM disks inside the virtual machine, and when you use ESX Ranger and make an instant backup, they are ignored to be backed up.

  Grateful for a response

  When you change the settings of the virtual machine and choose the RDM - there will be a radio button selected for the RDM mode, it is - it is really obvious. She'll be selected for the physical or virtual.

• Physical to virtual (P v) Conversion of vCenter Server

  What are all the things I need to think about when convering vCenter server from one physical machine to a virtual machine?  For example:

  1 if the SQL database is on the same server, it can be corruputed?

  2. If I create P to V would be vm and let it sit for a day, while the physical vCenter server is in place, what is happening with Active Directory when I stop the physical and virtual vCenter server takes over?  The vCenter Server virtual would have a less recent synchronization with Active Directory than the physical server, I just stopped.  No problem?

  StageCoach says:

  No unjoining and join vCenter server to this domain questions all possible - such as the loss of permissions, etc that I need to be wary of?

  nothing whatsoever.  vCenter has all it's information stored in a database.  The reason for the possible reach of the field is just to update the AD and DNS object

• Get rid of the physical switch between 2 ESXi - Layer2 virtual servers between boxes

  Hello

  It's maybe a stupid question, but I can't quite understand the answer so I might as well ask.  I have two physical hosts of ESXi in my lab and for various reasons wish to eliminate the physical switch between them, but while retaining full vSphere functionality (HA, vMotion, DRS etc.).  Is there a switch virtual/Repeater product can I buy/use (deployed on the two ESXi hosts in a HA configuration) who can give me this feature?  I would then use Teddy ports on each ESXi host to talk to each other and additional natachasery as switchports to the outside world.  i.e. can I do this with a kind of multi-Vyatta router configuration?  NSX?  Must also support multicast.

  Thanks for your help!

  If you want to get rid of the physical switch, simply do not use it. ETH-cable to directly connect the natachasery of these two hosts of ESXi. If your NICs have the ability to auto-mdi (x), there is no something special. Some older NICs may still require cable crossover, but this is not necessary with new hardware...

• Use OEM Windows 7 Pro in virtual computer; Enterprise of Windows 8.1 in the physical Machine

  Hello

  I need some real tips on Windows license manager that I don't want to go against all Microsoft software license.

  As a backdrop, I have the following:

  -an OEM Windows 7 Pro that came with the purchase of a Dell PC

  -a license in Volume Windows 8 with Software Assurance purchased by my company

  I would like to know if I can install the copy of the OEM Windows 7 Pro in a virtual machine on the Dell PC, while having a Windows Installer on the physical PC/computer Dell 8.1. i.e. physical Machine Dell PC = Windows Enterprise 8.1; Virtual machine in the same Dell PC is Windows 7 Pro OEM.

  I don't want to do a dual boot to install because it will be difficult to remove once my 3rd party applications fully supports Windows 8.1; and I also want to keep my PC as clean as possible. I also can't use one of the Open License of Windows 8 as a lower upgrade to Windows 7 as this installation will take another license to use.

  I read from the windows 7 EULA that:

  'Use with Virtualization Technologies. Rather than use the software directly on the licensed computer, you can install and use the software within the virtual (or emulated) only on the licensed computer system... »

  I was wondering that the clause applies, but I don't know if the OEM Windows 7 Pro can be activated on a virtual machine because I don't have the OEM product key.

  Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  It's the same clause I was going to paste attesting that you can install the license OEM Windows 7 in a VM.

  
  

  In addition, since you have Windows Enterprise 8.1, you can use the built in Hyper-v:

  Windows 8 integrates into hypervisor called Hyper-V.

  This requires that your processor supports the translation of the secondary addresses.

  To see if your processor is supported:

  Press the Windows key + X

  Click on programs and features

  Click on turn Windows features on or off

  See if you can check off Hyper-V and all its options of void

  If this isn't the case, it does not support Hyper-v.

  You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

• The best way to move the physical servers in a data center

  Hello everyone.

  We have 3 physical database servers and you want to move to a data center.

  These servers are primary servers 2 with the infrastructure of grid and race of RDBMS oracle as stand-alone server + ASM and a standby with three instances server = an ASM + 2 instances of RDBMS for the primary servers corresponding instance.

  Each said server has 2 interfaces eth - one to be used with DG and another to deal with the demands of the customers.

  The standby server has three interfaces eth - two of them are used with DG ant the third to process requests from clients.

  So the question is what would be the best and most simple way to move all the data from these servers to the cetre of data taking into account the fact that there are three corresponding virtual server already exists whith the sama of RDBMS and Linux version.

  Hello again;

  I moved a little smaller primary and waiting that my slip was something like this:

  1. on the primary database see the standby destination.

  2. on the current expectation cancel recovery and closing of the database.

  3. create directories of database on the new server.

  4. edit the tnsnames.ora on the primary current

  5. Add the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora on the new server.

  6. move the password files and spfile on the new server.

  7 Tnsping both servers

  8 use scp to move the database to the new server.

  9 start the recovery, and check gap

  Create a scp of SQL

  set the position

  Set feedback off

  set pagesize 100

  set linesize 400

  Select 'scp'. B.SID |' server_name:' | B.SID as newname from v$ datafile;

  Select 'scp'. B.SID |' server_name:' | B.SID as newname from v$ controlfile;

  Select 'scp'. a.Member |' server_name:' | a.Member as newname v$ logfile;

• Cannot ping between virtual servers on the same host

  I have a 5 ESXi host with 3 virtual copies of Windows Server 2008R2 running on them. The ESXi host is connected to my switch, which has the Windows 2008 R2 DC to my test network and my laptop management with VSphere branch above as well. I can ping host, mobile and ad server of each of the individual virtual servers and can ping and RDP for all 3 from other devices not on that host, but I cannot communicate between the three. I have Windows Firewall disabled on all three. I have no firewall, and all machines have an IP address in the 10.0.0.X range I deleted then recreated the only virtual switch on the host on which appear all 3. I've been VERY frustrated for the last 3 days on it. Why my virtual machine cannot talk to each other?

  When you have registered virtual machines in ESX you selected moved VM or Coiped VM? Go to editing parameters and watch the MAC addresses. My guess is that if you copied power (including the vmx files) then the MAC address is the same for all virtual machines. You can stop the machine and change for a MAC address mac address. You can also remove the network adapters, one of each, and then add the new network cards. Remember to reconfigure the IP addresses on the box and remove the ghost network maps after doing this.

  Check this KB to change the mac address.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=507

  Also, can you connect to the switch and look at the ARP table and see if the system VMs register here.

• What is the difference between virtual and physical CPU cores?

  I understand one is virtual and the other is physical. My question is, if I run a physical system with two physical processors quadricoeurs, which would be an equivalent virtual machine configuration, assuming I use VMware on a dual CPU quad-core server?

  Would be - this 4 x vCPU or 8?

  Run perfmon to see what treatment power is actually using a period reasonable period (x days)...

  You generally assign virtual servers less vCPU than you should in physical cores before conversion, or building a VM... Where you had processors dual core quad now, the reality of things would be that it is really only with the power equivalent of two hearts (crete)...

  Beauty to go with a virtual server is that you can assign a n vCPU VM start (for example, two for a multi-thread aware or SMP, application server) and add later if the performance requires it. The majority of the VMS is built with one vCPU to start, unless you KNOW (beyond doubt) that demand on the server will need vCPU more and the software running in the VM actually fully benefit the granting of vCPU more to her... I have, in general, set the alarms I know where the application of the CPU is abnormally high (or above the normal threshold) on VM (email is sent)... This allows me to monitor the requests to the server and adjust it accordingly.

  You can also grant a greater share value VM for resources, so it has a higher priority than the other virtual machines when he needs these resources.

  Of course, there is much to be said for having a host server (for ESX/ESXi) who has enough power too... These days, I wouldn't recommend becomes a new server (for a production environment) with anything less than the Interior, dual Xeon 5620... Larger environments might require higher speed Xeon 56xx or maybe even 65xx or popular 75xx Xeon series with more cores per socket... This is a capacity adequate session/run planning would have come into play...

• Cannot start the physical machine converted to a virtual machine under ESXi 4.0

  Hi all

  I have 2 has with the material below

  Dell optiplex 755 2.4 Qcore 4 GB of RAM and 160 GB of HARD drive

  A performer with ESXi 4.0 other runs with Windows 2003.

  I tried to convert physical machine with "Vmware Vcenter converter Stand alone" 4.0.1 build 161434

  I used the tool on the source machine and by another machine on the network.

  The two process converts the physical machine to a virtual machine successfully without any errors.

  After conversion, the virtual machine cannot start, and shows only a small slider that is not flashing too.

  

  The physical machine have a single partition of 160 GB

  The space currently used on the physical machine is 26 GB.

  I reduced the size of the HARD drive to virtual computer with fix / light available in 40 GB.

  point to make here is that the ESX have only 160 GB HDD, so he will not be able to copy all 160 GB because of which I am reducing the 40 GB HARD drive

  I converted a few other physical machines with 40 GB HARD drive and they work well after the conversion.

  Any sugessions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Sunil,

  Let me know the drive selected in the custom option controller.

  Thank you

• Snort - configuration of the switch - sniffing physical and virtual

  Hello

  There was a bit of discussion on this topic already and I read all those, but I'm still lost as to whether I want to do is possible and how.   I need to have capability of IDS in my vmware environment and physical environment switching.

  1. that being said, I don't know where to put snort.

  2. I know that I can paste snort on a virtual machine and give it an interface to each vswitch that promiscuity has been traffic on these vswitches, but which is the best way to do it?

  3. how to get traffic physics switching down to a virtual machine?  Is it still possible?

  I'm on 3.5 and using Foundry switches if it matters.

  The other idea I have is to not worry about this and paste my ID in the physical environment, since all traffic inter - VLAN should through the firewall anyway that is on the physical environment of switching.  This protect me from knowing of vm - & gt; VM attacks however.

  What is everyone think about this?

  Hello

  It's the kind where I was at.  The other problem I have is that I need to activate on the whole portgroup or vswitch promiscous.

  Only on the portgroup never the vSwitch.

  This means that any host in this portgroup can promiscoulsy listen on a map network within this portgroup, right?

  That's right, but now you must periodically check the portgroup to ensure that none of the United Nations that allowed VM is on the portgroup.

  > As a dashboard that is able to read in several analyzers to snort all the recommendations?

  There are a few web based ones. I would check snort.org... I used 'base', but is no longer directly use SNORT. It is integrated into my FWs now.

• Can access virtual servers, but not the server host after vpn

  When on the network, I can access the host server and all other virtual servers (virtualized with virtualbox). But when I connect with VPN I have no access to the main server, but I have access to any of the host servers - and I can get access to the main server of one of the host servers.

  Where do I start looking?

  using of 5505 and asa version 8.4 is (2).

  The nat setup is like this:

  3 (inside) (outside) static source any any static destination NETWORK_OBJ_10.10.10.0_28 NETWORK_OBJ_10.10.10.0_28 non-proxy-arp-search to itinerary

  translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 0

  4 (inside) (outside) static source any any static destination NETWORK_OBJ_192.168.1.128_27 NETWORK_OBJ_192.168.1.128_27 non-proxy-arp-search to itinerary

  translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 0

  5 (inside) (outside) static source NETWORK_OBJ_192.168.1.0_24 NETWORK_OBJ_192.168.1.0_24 NETWORK_OBJ_192.168.254.0_28 NETWORK_OBJ_192.168.254.0_28 non-proxy-arp-search of route static destination

  translate_hits = 37, untranslate_hits = 63771

  6 (on the outside) to dynamic interface of the NET-VPNPOOL source (outdoor)

  translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 0

  On the host, I see that you have 2 default gateways configured. It can have 1 default gateway, and to the other interface, you must configure static routes for specific access.

  The interface that needs to connect to the Internet should have the configured default gateway. The traffic that pass through the interface of the SAA should also go in and out the same set of interface, IE: If the host server connects to the interface via dmz out to the external interface, the return traffic must also go through this path, apart from the interface and return to the dmz interface.
