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

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.

HTH,

-Daniel.

  • How to change the ip address of the printer

    How can I change the ip address that windows searches for what concerns my printer wireless?

    My printer continues to change its ip address that is to say yesterday that the address is 192.168.0.2 and now it's 102.168.0.5, and whenever he does, windows does not include only and that he keeps trying to print address ip to wring the origin install me the printer as a new one from the new ip address give me two of the same printers when I watch devices and printers.
    I would like to know just how to change the ip address that is referenced to the printer rather than install them separately as a new printer.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I always prefer to set a static IP address for the network printers to avoid this kind of problem.   Depending on the brand of printer, this can be done by using the printers Panel (see networking options in the menus), or there may be a web interface, you can open in a browser.  Assigned address must be in the correct subnet but outside the DHCP in your router address.  Once assigned, specify this address in the settings of the printer on each workstation.
    You have not given any information re. the printer or your network and router model, so I can't be more specific than that, but it's the best general solution of this question.

  • How can change the end of thick disk when a virtual machine has been placed on the disk?

    After you have moved the virtual computer to another stage, chose the thin disk bad. Now, the virtual machine cannot start. the error message says that it must be thick for clustering. So, I need to change it back if possible. Then I moved it back and thick chosed. But, after that, I got a same error. So, after you move, the atatuse disk was not be changed. Is it a way not both directions? How can change the staus thin to thick?

    Thank you!

    George

    Hello George,.

    You can also convert virtual disks in eagerzeroedthick from the command line.

    vmkfstools-j VMname.vmdk allows to convert a thin disk in eagerzeroedthick

    vmkfstools k VMname.vmdk that will do it on a thick disk

    It can also work for a thin disk, click with the right button on the vmdk in browser data store, and then click 'inflate '.

    Setting virtual machine Image could be (memory setting etc.)

    (1) Yes (If yes or no do you while the virtual machine is online is totally based on the question of whether the operating system supports or not)

    (2) I don't know what ' TTL you are referring?

    I would say take a look at the previous documents, I've linked to familiarize yourself with what you can do and another great reference point is the vSphere API itself doc: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/index.html and make use of Research to see what properties/attributes are available on the entities/objects.

    Does anyone know how to change the name of the virtual switch (used by VM) without braking the VM running in this cluster?

    The best way to do this without losing network connectivity is add a group of ports with the new name and connect the virtual machines to the new group of port and when the initial group of port is empty remove - remember that it's the port group named not the vswitch.

    Hi ChirOn,

    I have no configuration of IIS for me to test this, but this gives a shot:

    To redirect requests to another Web site or directory

    1. in the services manager IIS, expand the local computer, right-click on the Web site or directory you want to redirect, and click Properties.
    2. click on the home directory, virtual directory, or Directory tab.
    3. under content from this source should come from, click a redirection to a URL.
    4. in redirecting to the zone, type the URL of the directory of destination or of the Web site. For example, to redirect all requests for files in the directory of the catalogue to the NewCatalog directory, type/NewCatalog.

    Good luck!

    Best regards

    @cor-el: this would probably work if you want to restore the default value.

    I have changed my encrypted google search engine on "subject: House" with these steps:

    2 extract the zip file

    3. run ' SQLite Database Browser 2.0 b1.

    4. open the "chromeappsstore.sqlite" file in your profile folder

    5. click the Browse data tab and double-click the value in the first row. (see screenshot below)

    6. Insert the desired value.

    As you will see the values in the example below, you can use any search you want and you can insert a "_searchTerms_" instead of the term research.
    I have these values:

    On luck outside, that you are not really wanting to address the 'skin in a CHM' quite yet, try this.

    First, note the path and the name of the file that you want to appear when the user clicks on the Home link.

    Expand Windows, and then double-click the CHM window. (If you do not see a CHM window, you will need to create a)
