• How to connect the physical monitor in a virtual machine?

  I connected a monitor of my laptop, I want to use this screen for my virtual machine running Windows 7, so the virtual machine runs in fullscreen display them on the monitor and not on my laptop. Is this possible? I'm using Vmware workstation.

  WS = Vmware Workstation

  Your laptop must be supported using the second monitor as an extension on the desktop, only not in mirror as it does now. This is done from your video settings, has nothing to do with VMWare.

  Go into your video settings and see if the monitor shows up as Monitor #2, then look for a setting to put it right (or left) of your laptop monitor. My Thinkpad supports this mode.

  Check with the manufacturer of your laptop if necessary. Lou

• How to assign map physical NETWORK to the Virtual Machine.

  Hi all

  We have an obligation to assign the card physical NETWORK for VM, if anyone can confirm how can be achieved?

  Thanks in advance!

  Kind regards

  You will need to configure the VM passthrough for the NETWORK card, and then assign it to your VM.

• How to distinguish the physical interface and logic (subinterface) interface to the Cisco router/Switch?

  Hi Expert,

  How to distinguish the physical interface and logic (subinterface) interface to the Cisco router/Switch? Can you please clarify a formal way for this so have?

  A physical interface is numbered with the same name of the interface when printing on the physical port. For example "GigabitEthernet 0/1" corresponds to port 1 of the 0 module (or the base unit).

  A logical interface can be a subinterface on a routed port and will have a point ("". "") preceding the number sous-interface (ex. GigabitEthernet 0/1.1). It can also be a loop or a virtual interface (on a router this could also include interfaces like the tunnel and virtual tunnel or VTI types). A switch may also have a VLAN logical interfaces (e.g. interface vlan 1) which are used as layer 3 virtual interfaces of type.

• ESXi installation before vCenter Server?  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  My plan for a new vSphere Essentials Plus 5.5 U2a installation is to have the vCenter Server on a virtual machine on the servers of the host on which is installed ESXi.  However, all the installation instructions I found indicate the user to first install the vCenter Server.  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  Thank you for your help.

  Hi munkyman welcome to communities.

  After you have installed your first ESXi host, open a browser and go to https://your-ESXi-ip-or-FQDN

  You can download the vSphere Client here. It is a windows application that you can install on your desktop. It is often referred to as the "c# Client vSphere" in communities and blog posts, because it is a new implemented in the vCenter Server Web client.

  But for the beginning, install the vSphere Windows Client. You can then launch it and connect directly to your ESXi host. Here you can create your first virtual machine, which can be the VM vCenter (installation of Windows or device, that is you).

  You can use the web client or connect to the Server with the client c# vSphere vCenter VCenter runs.

• How to get the moref vCenter for a virtual machine

  I use with the vCloud orchestrator plugin.  I would like to understand how I can access the moref for a virtual machine identifier (as see vcenter) that is contained in a vCloud VAPP.

  Thank you

  Here is something I wrote to do. It uses the query service.

  Note that to be able to do, you need your plugin vCD to be connected to the org of system and use the administrator credentials.

  var vcdHost = vm.getHost();
  var vApp = vm.parent;
  
  var vms = new Array();
  var queryService = vcdHost.getQueryService();
  
  expression = new VclExpression(VclQueryAdminVMField.CONTAINER, vApp.getReference().href, VclExpressionType.EQUALS);
  filter = new VclFilter(expression);
  params = new VclQueryParams();
  params.setFilter(filter);
  
  var resultSet = queryService.queryRecords(VclQueryRecordType.ADMINVM, params);
  while (resultSet != null) {
      var records = resultSet.getRecords(new VclQueryResultAdminVMRecord());
      System.log(records.length + " VM records found");
      for each (var record in records) {
          if (record.name == vm.name) {
              return record.moref;
              }
  
      }
      resultSet = resultSet.getNextPage();
  }
  return null;

• Free version of ESXi can support for configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client?

  I have read and found some documents on ESXi.

  According to the documents, I know that ESXi free version does not support some advanced virtual machine configurations and does not support write to ESXi host permission. But when I download ESXi from vmware.com, I can't find the free version. He will always be a trial of the licensed version edition because I can always do the configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client installation. I can also run scripts (lamw) pl in vMA to stop the ESXi host (authorization to write ok?)

  Then I confused. How can I get the really free version of ESXi? Or will the free version after 60 days of evaluation?

  Start/stop above configuration is in vSphere Client via 'Configuration'-> "start/stop VM"-> "Properties"... «-> "Allow the virtual computers start and stop automatically with the system" actions setting and stop virtual machines can be configured to "comments"turn off computer"or"Suspend".» Can any body tell me if it's supported by ESXi free edition?

  Is the free version of vSphere Client too? Because when I use the vSphere Client, he told me that I have 60 days of evaluation. This confused me again. I think that vSphere Client is always free, am I right?

  Any suggestion or advice is much appreciated.  ^_

  Micky

  Configuration of start and stop virtual machines is available with the free version and licensed, with the free version you would be configured everything via vSphere Client, where as with a licensed version, you can optionally use scripts to configure it and also issue restarts/stops using scripts.

  Second, shutdownHostViaSOAPAPICall.pl for the version licensed and free of ESX (i), this script will work in both free and licensed because it uses direct SOAP calls emulating the vSphere Client communication. Take a look at the documentation for details, but this of course is not supported by VMware.

• How to set the vlan native on a virtual machine in vSphere when you use the 1000V?

  Using the General switch original vSphere, we put VLAN native by VM by setting the VLAN 0 d.

  How do we set VLAN native for a virtual machine, if the virtual computer is connected to a 1000V? I heard that is over, we can use VLAN ID 0?

  Same way as you would on any Cisco switch.

  Add this command to your profile of uplink port:

  switchport trunk vlan native X

  Keep in mind there is no VLAN 0.  VLAN '0' is just how vmware means the VLAN untagged.  There are valid in accordance with the standard 1-4095.

• I had the opportunity to see all the drives in windows 7 and XP virtual machine on the same screen. He suddenly disappeared, and I need.

  As I set up my computer with Windows 7 Professional and XP virtual machine, I could see all the readers, W7 and the virtual machine on the same screen. I can't do now for some reason any. All I can understand what is is past is that I got a page long list of automatic updates of W7 and some XP updates and as far as I know, the current page of readers has disappeared since then.  I need this feature if I can transfer files between W7 and XP because some of my programs are in one program of windows. I have nothing special when I installed XP to achieve this functionality, so I really don't understand what it controls.  How can I get that back?

  I have solved my problem by trying everything that moves. Here are my steps:
  -Open Virtual PC and minimize it
  -In the Windows 7 machine, click Start click all programs
  -Select Windows Virtual PC
  -Select Windows Virtual PC (in the drop-down list)
  -When the window opens, right-click on Windows XP Mode
  -Select share >
  -Select the homegroup (read/write)

  -Minimized open Virtual PC
  -Select my computer
  Windows 7 disks will be under other

  I hope this works for you also. As I said, it worked like this until I had a huge list of automatic updates of Windows 7 and XP more some updates. Apparently, one of them cut something.

• ESXi host goes to the State and the virtual machine does not restart on other host does not

  Hi all

  I'm looking for a solution, in which case the host goes to the State and the virtual machine on it does not restart on a different host (they'll just gray) does not not what could be the problem here and how to fix it

  later when the failed host returns upward machines either go to motor off the coast of the State, or they show that under tension

  While the host is down or not responding do not I am able to ping the host ESXi (5.5) and able to ping the default gateway and the DNS servers of the host itself

  Yes AF, the answer to all these questions is Yes, it is a HA and DRS cluster active, I tried restarting mgmt service, we use a shared storage (storage iSCSI HP 3PAR and left hand)

• USB HDD as a data store and storage of VMS and new virtual machines

  I have a server Esxi 4.1 with 1 TB RAID 5 storage and 3 virtual machines. The storage is full and no space for another HARD disk, so my question is: would it be possible to use a USB HDD as a data store and could be included as a storage for new virtual machines or the VM? If so, could someone let me know how to do it because I'm not able to detect the HARD disk on the host itself.

  No, it is not possible to use a USB drive as a data store.

• Disable communication between the host and the virtual machine

  I have VM Server 2.0 and one of the virtual machines has the same name as the server and even if the virtual computer is connected to the host only network it generates the Windows error message: duplicate names exist on the network.

  is there a way to disable communication between the host and the virtual machines? I just need a virtual network that is isolated from my network complete and host also.

  Thank you.

  The GUI Server2 is not to choose the other unused vmnets.  Then edit your file VMX use a different vmnet of 0, 1 or 8.  (which are bridged, host-only and NAT)

  Thus, for example, if your VMX has a line that says:

  Ethernet0.VNET = "VMNet0.

  change to:

  Ethernet0.VNET = "VMNet2.

  (This assumes that you have not used the network Editor to fill the vmnet2 either).

• Start and stop Virtual Machines with the system

  Hello

  In a server cluster @vcenter HA/DRS 5.1, I enabled start and stop virtual machines with the system option but after I checked two days later, he is off again somehow. What makes this option off? I had a power failure in the datacenter. vCenter server has not been upward. I started all of the ESXi servers manually then went all VMs account is declining. I want that they start automatically when server ESXi upward.

  Thanks in advance,

  Thank you. This option is more valid than if the hosts are part of an HA Cluster license. I suspect that you configured through the traditional vSphere Client and that it is a bug with this client. If you try with the new vSphere Web Client, you will find a notice that it is disabled and there is no button "Edit".
