• How to connect an external usb drive to a virtual host

  IM using esxi 4.0 u1, have several virtual hosts running.  I use the vi client to manage, no vcenter.

  I want to connect a drive external hard usb to one of the virtual machines.  How do I do this in vi client?

  Thank you

  Not directly supported in the current version of ESX (i). You can try passthrough. Take a look at the http://vm-help.com for directions. A future version of vSphere will be the real answer.

• How to connect 2 physical computers and 2 virtual machines?

  Hello!

  This is my first time in the forum and I would like to ask about the network configuration for an installation of 2 physical machines and 2 virtual machines. Each physical computer has a virtual machine (all operating systems is Windows 7 or 8). I don't have a level of advanced network management, but I would like to ask how to resolve a case of example of this configuration? I was wondering for communication between machines and communication examining between 1 machine with the other 3.

  Thanks in advance! If someone has already asked this, please tell me the reference.

  Welcome to the community,

  VMware Player offers 3 configuration settings, bridged, NAT as well under the name Host-Only network. Host-Only can be used if the virtual machine does not require a connection with the exception of the other virtual machines and the host network. NAT is typically used if the virtual machine requires network access, but didn't need to be accessible to the outside. In your case, the possibility of using is connected by a bridge, which will connect seamlessly the virtual machine to the physical network.

• 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 connect & activate external speakers to the Windows 7 desktop PC

  How to connect & activate external speakers to the Windows 7 desktop PC?

  Can't get PC to recognize external speakers

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  According to the description, I understand that the PC recognizes not the external speakers.

  This could be due to hardware conflicts.

  I suggest you to refer to the suggestions of Fahimulla K replied on March 4, 2010 and check if that helps.

• 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.

• 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;

• Connect physical hard disks to the virtual machine (and leave the data intact)

  Hello

  I'm looking to virtualize a SOHO headless server, that I use mainly for secure file storage.

  Currently, the system runs Linux installed on a small disc and has two drives 1.5 TB, used exclusively for data, in a cluster of ZFS mirroring. (I use the ZFS-fuse Linux-based application).

  I want virtualization for two reasons. One is to make administration easier and safer - avoid having to connect a keyboard and the physical monitor to the box from time to time. The other is that the machine is a bit more powerful to handle the load, and I'm hoping to make it work on other, more challenging tasks.

  Now, there is a catch. These discs are as highly important. I mean the data on them. What I need is to convert the current Linux system to a virtual machine, or re - install Linux on a virtual machine (don't like that), then connect the physical disks to the virtual machine as if they were actually connected.

  I certainly don't want to vmware touches those disks somehow.

  I've read the documentation, but I'm a noob when it comes to server virtualization and system engineering and don't quite understand if this is possible or not. These discs are not a SAN, they are physically connected to the server, I want to install vSphere on. (Of course, I'll log out when I run the setup of vSphere. But I need plug them again later, and they need to be sure that vmware will leave them alone and pass them to the virtual machine transparent.)

  Sigmoid wrote:

  Oh yes, the cluster mirrored ZFS. It is essentially a software RAID type thingie.

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

  A material, or the point of view of virtualization, it appears two hard drives with a single huge partition on each that is not transparent to anyone, except the implementation of ZFS.

  OK, means that you can break the RAID, connect the drives to different host and configure RAID once again, right?

  Let's do it this way

  1. We will need a disc player more for VM, cause on flash, we install ESXi
  2. I will share ZFS :-), all you need to do with that before you install ESXi
  3. make the BACKUP!
  4. Disconnect the data host drives
  5. install ESXi 4.1 U1 free version on flash
  6. Download the site VMware vSphere client
  7. Connect the VM disk to ESXi
  8. customer help create the virtual machine and install the OS on it
  9. stop the virtual machine and esxi
  10. connect DATA drives to the ESXi host
  11. begin to ESXi
  12. See how to add RDM on youtube, after client use, change first hardware VM--> add a new hard disk--> choose Raw Device Mapping--> (physical or virtual) mode--> store it with folder VM - FACT
  13. Start the virtual machine, now your VM should see both drives, with good data course :-)

  I have just made this procedure (add ROW with data in Linux VM) on ubuntu VM, works well

  See you soon

• Server connection Reboot logs out users using virtual machines

  I'm having a problem with one of my servers in two connection that my VM to connect.  Whenever restart us the server, it disconnects all VM that is assigned to this CS, this becomes a question during our weekend update as restart us our servers and whenever our connection to the server restarts it disconnects our surveillance systems.

  Any help, I would be grateful.

  That would happen if you have direct mode and users are tunneling through this particular connection broker.    If you use no direct mode then the user would only get it is detached from the VM by the broker for the connections and then directly to the virtual machine.

• Connection of external USB storage

  I connected an external hard drive (WD "My Passport", 300 GB) USB to my router (Cisco EA6500). The drive has been formatted to NTFS. My services 3 computers router.

  I looked at the Linksys WiFi Smart 'External storage' tools and see the FTP server is 'On', DLNA is 'On' and ensure access to records is 'On '. Access to the files tab all my computers have the permission to write & Edit and Delete actions.

  The external drive appears in the LinkSys WiFi Smart as a 'Network Device' online program.

  But it does not appear in Windows Explorer (or file such that named in 10 Windows Explorer).

  I'm unable to access this storage to record data, how do I do so?

  Hi, rszanti. Were you able to map a network drive on your computer? Network drive mapping is necessary so that you can access a device USB storage or storage network (SIN) attached to your router.

• How to use the external USB camera on iPhone IOS 6?

  Hello

  I need to use an external USB Endoscope for the inspection of vehicles and etc. using IOS on iPhone 6.  I bought an external USB 2.0 adapter lightning, plugged in the endoscope (comments showed that this endoscope works on IOS devices) and it pops up and says that the device used too much power to be used on the device.  You are not sure if Apple cut the device to use at that time or not? But the device was always powered up as shown on the drive of the USB light on the endoscope.

  I downloaded several types of applications of the observer including I think that the right VLC who apparently used one of the reviewers and I couldn't figure out how to get an any of them to allow the selection of an external camera.

  Does anyone have an idea if it will work or how I can make it work?

  I would be very grateful for any input or assistance with this!

  I could acquire an enermax acrilux usb keyboard and have connected the keyboard taken 12 q at the same level where another keyboard was attacked the qosmio g50 usb and it worked without problem.

  After to start the PC with keyboard eneramx connected the qosmio has not loaded windows vista Ultimate edition and the inside wheels have been activated.
  Never happened before. I doubted the enermax

  Reconnected to the position of the qosmio USB, there on the back not granted to start-up of turbines problems
  As the enermax, that he has never blocked the startup of the operating system and to activate turbines also have plugged into the same USB port to which priority was connected a keyboard?

  Tank you

  Hi mate

  Sorry, but you message I am really hard to understand
  What I understand is that you connected an external keyboard on the Qosmio and now the laptop will not boot properly. Is this good?

  What to say; Maybe you disable USB legacy mode in the BIOS.
  Please check this!
  To enter the BIOS press F2 and everything by turning on the laptop.

• How to connect multiple external monitors to Portege R830

  Anyone has any advice on how to connect more than one external monitor to a Portege R830?

  I have a monitor through the station home, but when I attach a second monitor to the port of the laptop do not recognize at all.

  It is used to work on my old Portege, but for some reason not on the R830.

  Any tips or advice?

  Hello

  You use the same port in the docking station and Portege R830?
  Docking station replica ports in order to use the Portege docking station port or port.

  If you want to connect more than one external monitor to the laptop then I would recommend using something like Toshiba Dynadock
