Exposing the battery to the host to guests

Hello

I am successfully under VMware Server 2 on my laptop (Ubuntu 8.10), and I use virtual machines to test my favorite project, lights, NetBSD, and OpenSolaris.

E17 works well in the VM NetSBD 5.0, but the battery module and module temperature, inside E, reports a N/A (not available) in the form of data. Grepping out lshal, that I see no reference to the battery.

So the question is: is it possible to expose to the virtual HAL of the host machine, in the statutes of battery and temperature of retail?

TIA

Massimiliano

It might be possible to switch the battery info thanks to..., it IS possible in the latest versions of workstation.  I think that your guests will be at the virtual hardware version 6 or later.

Add the following 2 lines to your vmx files:

chipset.useAcpiBattery = 'TRUE '.

chipset.useApmBattery = 'TRUE '.

  • Workstation 9 - slow network performance between the host and guest

    I am running windows 8 on the host and installed by 9 trial. Then installed windows 8.1 as a comment system.

    I'm a slow, very slow network between the two.

    If I send files to and from the computer with another guest, transfers are normal, but if I try the same files between the host and the guest, they are really slow.

    I use a bridge connection.

    I read elseware to disable the following on the guest card:

    Large Send Offload v2 (IPv6)

    But that did not help.

    Thoughts?

    Maybe then try Hyper-v, it help you better.

  • Difficulty ping between the hosts and guests

    Hello

    I want to establish network connectivity between my host OS (XPsp3) and my guests (CentOS5.5 and Windows 7).

    So far, I can ping between guests, but not between host and guest, or comments to the host.  When I try, I get a message "destination host unreachable".

    When I configured my virtual machines in a first time, I put them to 'Host-Only' and I need to keep it like that for the purpose of what I do with them - which is the problem?

  • Virtual LAN with guests and the host only

    Hello

    I have a win server 2008 r2 host and a couple of virtual machines.

    I want to create a VLAN that contains the host and guest of the virtual machine. I intend to host the domain controller.

    I put the network connection from the guest to "host-only '.

    Then I tried ping between the guest and the host. Ping fails. "request time out" @host and "destination host unreachable'@guest.

    Firewall is turned off on both.

    What could be the problem? Is there another way to reach my goal?

    Kind regards

    Did you stop the firewall service, or you have turned off the firewall? Stopping the service does not work.

    First VMware is a company not a product and you didn't say what VMware product you use no you said what OS is on the host or the guest then I suggest you read the VMware product documentation that you are using.  In general, if the Virtual Machine works in the same way a physical Machine so you can do the same between the host and guest in dealing with clients as if it were a physical Machine.

    If you have VMware Tools installed in the comments you can also take advantage of VMware shared folders and or the functionality of Drag and Drop on pris supported operating systems.

    There are several ways to do so.  If you use the vCLI exposed the hosts file for editing, so you can download it to your PC for management, update the file and then upload it to your host - http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/esx_3i_rcli/vifs.php.  You can also activate the Mode (local or SSH access) Tech support and edit the file/etc/hosts directly.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Pinkbull,

    Welcome to the forums.

    As long as you do not Exchange files between the host and guest OSs, how the network is configured is not really important. If you want to completely separate your VMS, best solution is to have two physical ports on your computer, set the host to one OS and devote the second port of the virtual machine.

    Good luck.

  • How to share an IP address between the host and the VM?

    I'm a newbie on VMWare, and I hope that this question has a simple answer... I have a physical machine, I have turned into a VM today and am now running as VM on Workstation 6.5. This physical machine had a static IP address which must remain public, but I can't get a second IP address on the same subnet of the host. How can I get static IP even stay on the virtual machine without attributing an IP address of NIC1 host?

    Or is it possible to assign static IP address to the host NIC1 use somehow fill? That seems still, however, require an IP address on the host and the guest of virtual computer.

    I also looked in NAT, but I do not know how to assign the NAT specifically to NIC1 on the host. I have NIC2 and NIC3 with different IPs on different subnets.

    Thanks in advance.

    drmuzik wrote:

    So with the bridge, the NIC host does not have an IP address?

    Well the exact answer depends on those needs specific and explicit, but assuming that the physical machine will be connected directly to the Internet and the virtual machine uses a static public IP address then the physical machine may not have a public IP address if the only one you have is assigned to the virtual machine.  This is why I said delete everything except Protocolto Bridged from VMware on the physical target network adapter.

    Yet once if you had included the host and Guest OS operating system information it helps us to be more specific with answers to questions and given that you do not I will generalize and do not take the time to explain all the scenarios possible use cases.  In a case like this one containing explicit and specific local network topology details and that it connects to the Internet may also be useful to provide more explicit and specific answers.

    In addition if you have not already read chapters 14 & 15, covering networking, workstation users manual you should as it will help provide toys better understand virtual network infrastructure.

  • Find the host of customer information or customer by host information

    So, I'm in the management of the computer configuration for a fortune 50 company and we have just a bazillion of machines we will manage using the Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCCM or just CM).  He inventories all hardware, software, and use of our machines and handles very well.  The problem is when someone asks me to provide a list of virtual machines on a host, I can't exactly do on VMWare guests/hosts.  In Hyper-V or Virtual PC/server, I can question just a WMI class that provides Microsoft telling me that the host name of the guest.  Is there really no way to do this in VMWare?

    I think as a WMI class such as WIN32_VirtualMachine or WIN32_VMWare which has some elements of information such as the host name of each guest or IP address or MAC or something else.  Something that would allow us to identify the host.  For accreditation purposes, some products may be approved for the physical machine once and do not have to be licensed, for each virtual computer running on it.  License of people want to know that kind of thing, so I need to provide.

    So, if it isn't a WMI class, which I can't find, is there at least one feature SDK or something that would let me custom script and deduce the data myself?  Even if it is not feasible to the guest from the host, maybe the other direction and ask the host to get the guests name attached would really help.

    If we can get this, I'm afraid that hair sharp will make a strong case to move to easier handling of Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V and SCVMM, SCCM.  Give me some hope here...

    As Dave mentioned, it is pretty easy to get information on the hosts and guests from a PowerCLI script.

    Once you have installed PowerCLI, you can do things like

    Connect-VIServer -Server  -credential (Get-Credential)
    Get-VMHost
    Get-VM
    

    These simple cmdlets will give you some basic information about the hosts and guests.

    This community provides many examples of scripts on the use of your environment vSphere PowerCLI.

    You can take a look at the FAQ PowerCLI to get an idea of what is possible.

    There are also many blog talking about PowerCLI.

    You can start with the PowerCLI blog and follow its example blogrol.

    If you have more specific needs, for example the list every guest with its number of vCPUs, let us know.

    Members of the community will be more than happy to provide you with example scripts.

  • Comments network connects to the host

    I try to install a Windows Server 2003, standard edition as a guest on Windows XP 64-bit. I'm trying to install a bridged network. The device driver for the NETWORK card in the guest system signals that it does not work because of the inability to connect to a resource. There are no events in the log of the host or guest system events.

    While I don't have a single NETWORK card on the host, I tried the often suggested work around affecting the network bridge device to a specific NETWORK card on the host, that I want it to connect. This had no effect.

    I tried to change the network to a NAT device ' ed and had the same problem - the unit on the guest doesn't seem to be able to connect to the host device. I also tried a single LAN and had the same problem.

  • When the computer 'host' is accessible by the 'guest' on the network computer, the host computer crashes hard.

    There is no error message, making it difficult to diagnose. There are two computers running Vista, fully patched, connected via a network of small size. (Microsoft MSE, no virus, start using activated, etc. "It is clean). When the computer goes to * any * file of the host computer, the host computer crashes immediately. There is no error message, freezing of mice, all hard disk activity stops, it stops absolutely everything. The continuous guest PC works well, it simply notes that the host computer is "not available". Someone saw something like that? I certainly have not. It's far too vague to diagnose.

    I looked on the event logs and couldn't find anything saying. I disabled and re-enabled the network shares, etc. Because they are built Lenovo desktop computers, I have a difficult time to do a "repair", but I guess I could give that a shot with some Vista discs. As I understand it, these computers are not often with Vista bootable discs.

    It is essential that I can diagnose it. In almost twenty years of THIS I've never seen anything this vague and almost impossible to diagnose.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Is it all the same to make a "full reset" or "Refresh" of networking in Vista? Who could do.

    I also note that it is a recent issue, these systems worked very well for a while and it's a change suddenly. Particularly curious because I locked the Windows updates to update only when I say so... and I didn't have lately.

    Have you tried to replace the NETWORK card on the computer that crashes? If not, it's what I would do then. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
