How to get the Mac address of a virtual machine?
Hello world...
I need help to get the MAC address of a virtual computer, I'm stuck in it.
Please reply if anyone know solutions.
Thank you
Mahesh Thawari
Here's a vSphere SDK for Perl script that extracts the MAC addresses for all your virtual machines - http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10490
You should be able to take it and translate it into any language vSphere SDK you plan to use. Basically you'll be listing through virtual hardware for the virtual machine to search for devices of type VirtualEthernetCard and then retrieve the MAC address of each device.

Thank you.
Hi Bruce,.
Out of what I can find on this network card is not available for the Mac without an operating system. I recommend get/burning a live CD/DVD of Ubuntu/Linux and run an Ifconfig in there.
Hope this helps you.

How to get the MAC address of the virtual machine on which vmware tool is not installed
Hello
In our project, we communicate to vCenter/ESX and details of virtual machines using the VI - Java 4.0.0 SDK APIs
I use PropertyCollector for details.
But in the following cases
1. a virtual machine is poweredOff.
2 VMware tool is not installed on the virtual machine.
I am not able to get the mac using the PropertyColector address.
To get the macaddress property I use after crossing spec:
rootFolder (folder)-> childEntity (data center)-> hostFolder (Folder)-> childEntity (ComputerResource)
-> host (Hostsystem)-> vm-> guest (GuestInfo)-> net (GuestNicInfo)-> macaddress (in Virtualmachine)
I know the vSphere client uses the VI SDK to perform all operations, and I am able to see the macAddress of VirtualMachine in cases using vSphere client.
Is any body please help me get the macaddress of VM in the two cases.
Thank you

Take a look at the dashboard feature of the virtual machine and specifically "VirtualEthernetCard": http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.device.VirtualEthernetCard.html
When you assign a new vNIC to each virtual machine, a unique MAC address generated is given by default. If you still want to map the actual interface of the guestOS, then you would take a look at guestInfo as you may have noticed IF you have the VMware Tools. Although the default is whence the MAC address

Is it possible to programmatically retrieve the MAC address of a virtual machine VMware
Can anyone suggest to programmatically retrieve the MAC address of a VMware virtual machine.
I need a code for the above features.
Post edited by: AntonVZhbankov
Corrected in Hyper-V to VMware
Now that I have a code in front of me, you can try essentially this:
// MAC Variable string MACAddress; // Get Config Info (hardware) vmConfigInfo = (VirtualMachineConfigInfo)myAPI.getProperties(vmRef, new String[1] {"config"}); //Iterate through devices foreach (VirtualDevice vDv in vmConfigInfo.hardware.device) { try { VirtualEthernetCard mycard = (VirtualEthernetCard)vDv; MACAddress = mycard.macAddress; } catch { } }
Basically what's happening hear, you are pulling all the pieces of virtual hardware and iterate through them. If the piece is a network card, copy the following code will be able to cast an and pull up on the Mac. Otherwise, the cast fails and he is going to move. If you have multiple network cards, you want to add the mac to an array of strings, or something to keep account of more than one.
This code assumes that you have connected and you have a way to make the configuration of the virtual machine property. The function 'getProperty' in the present code referring to my own function, not one in VMWare. If you don't know how to do this, just post back here and I know there are examples of pages out there anyone can post to explain this part.

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;

How to find the Mac address of a Blackberry Curve 8130 BlackBerry Smartphones

How to find the MAC address for photosmart c510 - printer, not zineb
HP Photosmart c510 all-in-One
Windows 7 SP1
Printer bought 2 weeks ago.
Printer wireless light is not on, not even flashing
I use MAC address filtering on my home wireless router. No problem adding the Zeen, I found that it is easy MAC. Of course for the printer, it says "Printer not available" on the display of zineb, just below the zitoun MAC address.
So I need to add the MAC address of the printer to my router. I know that I can turn off filtering by MAC address and I hope that the printer connects, and then I can print the printer network settings, get the MAC, and then again turn on the filter and add the printer Mac
Is this the ONLY way I can get the MAC address of the printer? I'd rather not have to do that whole process, but will if I have to.
I also wonder why the printer wireless light is not even blinking as he is looking for a network.
Can anyone help?
Print a network Test Wireless in the network menu on the front of the printer. It will contain the MAC address. Note that MAC filtering is not in that ensure that used MAC addresses are sent in the clear, and it is easy to impersonate a MAC address on a computer.

I built an application of web service in Jdeveloper 11.1.1.7 to be used by other clients. Just the General steps as follows (Server web service Application is generated--> deployed on the server-> used by clients with the location of the WSDL file).
Now, I met a requirement where I need to get the port number and IP address for the client.
Questions :

The common technologies used to build web service applications is AXIS or CXF. What Jdeveloper technology allows built web service application?
It depends on the option selected during the creation of web services (if I remember correctly, there are several options, style J2EE 1.4 RPC style JavaEE JAX - WS 1.5,...)
For example, to get the ip address of the compatible with jax - ws web service, you need to inject the context in your service class with:
@Resource WebServiceContext wsContext;
and then inside your method:
MessageContext mc = wsContext.getMessageContext(); HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)mc.get(MessageContext.SERVLET_REQUEST); String ip = req.getRemoteAddr();

How to get the ip address of the data storage device
Hi all
I developed a project now and you need to distinguish a virtual machine is saved to the device local ESX or remote network storage device.
I found the data store object in which the virtual machine resides by vi sdk, but could not find the address of the device that includes this data store.
How to get the ip address of the coding data storage device, which includes the virtual machine? I need your help.
Thank you in advance.
How do you try to make a query. Storage devices provides a logic unit number no, there is no IP address for it.
You can check the same for the storage on vCenter view

Sorry if this has been requested a lot of times before, it was difficult to try to sift through responses to this particular configuration through research.
I have a MacBook which double - start by training camp. I generally run Windows but do have occasional need to pop in Mac.
Is there a way to get my Mac running as a virtual machine in Windows partition? I've seen a lot of discussion of the scenario opposed using Mac and Fusion, but not found on my installation.
Thanks in advance for any help, especially if it's the ten thousandth time it was requested.
Within the limits of your question, it is not supported by VMware. That means that the only product from VMware that supports the legal vitualization of legally virtualisables versions of Mac OS X is VMware Fusion when run under Mac OS X on a Mac to processor Intel.
In addition, if it's not Mac OS X Server 10.5, 10.6. 10.7 or Client Mac OS X 10.7, so he is not allowed by the Apple ALS and cannot therefore be discussed in these forums without violating the terms of use of the VMware community.
