• Dedicated network adapter to the virtual machine and the host computer not let can visit his profile

  OK, here's my question, I know how to give themselves a phyiscal nic to a vmware, but I wanted to take it one step further and do not leave the host send or receive data from this network card, only the virtual machine can use this network/NIC...

  Here's my reasoning, I have to network conections, one is for my internal/field network and the second is a direct connection to the internet (Comcast) I don't want to use to separate the machines have for internet connection, I want to be on the same machine phyiscal and have just the vmware machine talking to comcast... is it possible?  I am running VMware workstation 7, last update.

  Thank you

  I assume you are using a Windows host?

  If Yes...

  -first set up networking networking with vmnetcfg.exe

  -assign vmnet0 to the network card for the internal network

  -assign vmnet2 to the network card used for direct access to the internet

  -Right-click on the map network-icon in the systray and access the properties of the network adapter for vmnet2

  -Disable all other protocols and the Protocol of vmware_bridge for this network adapter

  result: a virtual machine that uses vmnet2 can directly access the internet and the host has no IP address for this network adapter - and therefore cannot use it.

• The mouse is confused - almost impossible to use the virtual machine more...

  Hello

  I use a number of VMWare (6.0.7 build-2844087) sessions player on my i7 quad core Windows 8.1 system for separate processes.  I don't do anything in my main boot environment is nice and clean.  I have a player for web browsing, one for email and a few others (game, video editing, etc.).  This separation gives me an easy backup/restore option for any computer virtual as well as prevention 1 VMS are attacked/infected/hacked/etc most I can lose, it is what is in this virtual machine.

  Something broke all of a sudden.  I don't know if it was the last update for VMware tools or some change made by windows update or maybe even a setting that I did.

  But now, my mouse is very confused.  If you look at the picture, you can see 2 pointers.  The bottom is my VM. The top appears with the VMWare container think that the mouse should be there. And the relationship between the 2 pointers constantly changes.  So I can select something in the virtual machine, but the tank of the virtual machine can think the mouse is on the VM bar and when I click the virtual computer closes, presentation of the changes of the screen, minimize, etc..

  

  I did some research.  All of my text is set to the smallest size (the most common fix I found.)  I have re-installed VMWare tools.  I tried to change the mouse settings in my VM and the primary host environment.

  It's to the point where I can't click without 1st checking the top of the window on my main screen or risk losing work, etc..

  Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

  Thank you

  If anyone is interested in distance, I finally solved the problem.  My guess is that I could have reinstalled the main operating system.  Instead, I've upgraded to 10 Windows and then installed Player 7.1.2.  On the plus side, no more problems with 2 pointers mouse with one randomly showing where and when he wanted.

  On the negative, I always have to press Ctrl-Alt to get to the VMWare bar at the top of the window.  But it is a small price to pay for now to be productive again.

  FWIW, my guess is that upgrading to 7.1.2 is really what makes the difference.

• No network connection between the virtual machines on different hosts ESXi

  I have several 5.0 ESXi hosts in a cluster managed by vCenter Server 5 and I have network problems:

  1. [Host A] running a virtual machine can ping any other computer virtual running on the [host A] great!
  2. A virtual machine running on host [B] can ping any other virtual machine running on [B] home - very well!
  3. [host A] (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running on [B] home - even better!
  4. [B] home (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running [host A] - beautiful set!
  5. A virtual machine running [host A] can not ping any virtual computer running on host [B] and vice versa - bad, very bad!

  So basically the problem is that the virtual machines can communicate on hosts. It is a major problem that I need to fix, for obvious reasons.

  Networking on all hosts is configured exactly the same way: a unique and standard vSwitch with a pair of gigabit network cards grouped, vmkernels configured for the vMotion, NFS and network management and a group of ports configured for the VIRTUAL local area network used by the VMs. (vMotion works fine on hosts, storage vMotion works very well too.) All virtual machines are servers Windows (2003 and 2008).

  Reason #3 and #4 above, my assumption is that #5 must be the result of an ESXi/vCenter configuration issue and not a problem with the switches of material upstream. Is this a reasonable assumption?

  Whatever it is, can anyone offer suggestions on how can I fix? It is quite annoying as I'm pretty sure that these hosts are configured in the same manner as those of our production cluster, which does not at all these problems!

  Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

  To be honest, it looks like a problem with your physical network-

  How is the physical network configured - are NIC connects it to the same physical switches? Are the virtual machines on the same subnet? If this is not the case, they are able to ping the gateway sbnet? Can you piing host IP address from the virtual machines?

  I also moved it to a forum more approiate.

• whenever I have to connect to the virtual machine asks me to enter login and password I can't save the credentials

  Hi, I used Windows Virtual PC XP mode for awhile and I just do a fresh install, and I'm having a problem that I seem not to be able to solve.

  After you enable the integration features, I got to the Windows Security login screen. I typed in the login and the password, but I accidentally made a mistake and could not connect. I clicked on cancel and was then in the XP login screen, where I entered then the right login and password and it me connected to the virtual machine XP without problem.

  Now, the problem I have is every time I connect to computer virtual it asks me the login and the password on the login screen of XP and I don't have the option to connect using the login Windows Security screen, so it do not give me an option to save my password and login information. So, to make things worse is that moment every time I have to resize the virtual pc it then asks me to log in again.

  Is it possible to return me to the Windows security login screen where can I put my login instead of the XP login screen when it is not an option?

• How can I move the "Virtual Machines" folder to the My Documents folder?

  VMwareFusion is to put the "Virtual Machines" folder in the Documents folder in the home folder (/users/ [username] / Documents), how can I move elsewhere (as/Library/Application Support)? The user Documents folder is not the right place for automated it system files, it is intended for personal documents.

  
  

  I am running VMware Fusion on OS X Yosemite (and the virtual machine is Windows 7).

  You can keep your virtual machines anywhere you want. Here are the steps to move:

  1 exit VMware Fusion. You can stop first of all of your running virtual machines.

  2. drag your virtual computers folder or the individual VM "files" where you / them. Filenames usually end in ".vmwarevm". There is no need to call the new folder "Virtual Machines" - you can call it anything you like.

  3. Launch VMware Fusion. If the library of the Virtual Machine window is not open, open it (Windows menu-> Virtual Machine library).

  4. ensure that all of your icons for the virtual machine are light gray and say "file not found".

  5. right click on each virtual machine in turn, and select Remove. When you are done, leave the window of Machine virtual library empty open.

  6. in the Finder, drag the icons of file virtual machine in their new location and drop them in library of virtual machines VMware Fusion window. Drop them one by one in the original order, you got, or rearrange icons later.

  7. run your virtual machines as before.

  When you create new virtual computers, navigate to the desired file before the Save.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: If you your folder of Machines ~/Documents/Virtual excluded from backups Time Machine, don't forget to change the exclusion to the new folder.

  Time Machine backups are not reliable for virtual machines. You must have another strategy. (I shut the virtual machine down, compress the 'file', and then move the compressed file to a folder that is included in the Time Machine backups. This isn't the only strategy, but it works for me.)

• Virtual machines can ping throughout the network, but can't ping in them.

  More in detail, we run ESXi 5.1 on our host servers. We then run a client vSphere on one of our client machines that can reach the host by a Cisco 3750 switch servers. So it is, machine client, Cisco switch, then the host servers. The server host has 2 network cards going to the switch. NIC0 goes to a trunk port, and NIC1 goes to an access port. In vSphere, we have created a virtual switch that has two physical network interface cards activated. For our management network, the VMKernel port, VLAN ID All we (4095), then we have NIC0 as the active map. Then we have a "Server" network, the Virtual Machine port group, with VLAN ID 30 (our vlan internal) with NIC1 as the active map. Once we have this, we can ping from our virtual servers to our default gateway, then anywhere else in the network, but nothing can ping the virtual machines. We tried to watch a traceroute to the VM, but all it shows is, VM NIC, default gateway, and then destination... Ask for more information if you need.

  Thank you

  Tim.

  Hi and welcome to communities,

  What guest operating system are your current virtual machines to run? If it is windows server, it is a chance network discovery is simply disabled. This will diminish the ICMP packets and you may not their ping.

  If the port of 3750 for NIC1 is configured as VLAN ID 30 trunk.

  Your Portgroup is configured with VLAN ID 30.

  Inside the guest virtual machines you did not indicate any configuration of VLAN, right?

• Created in Esxi virtual MACHINE can't see the network

  Hello

  I installed Esxi 5.5 and I have no problem to access and create a virtual machine.

  However, the virtual machine, which is 2012 Windows, does not begin with a network adapter.

  When I check the configuration of the VM, the network adapter is connected, turned on, E1000E but says directpath e/s is not supported. I don't have VMware tools installed in the virtual machine.

  I don't understand where the problem lies. I connect to Esxi ok. I can run the virtual machine in Esxi client ok, but the images says that there is no network.

  I created the VM Windows before 2012, outside of Esxi and the network built in card is detected ok.

  STOP PRESS - in computer management Windows, peripheral, the Ethernet controller is not recognized. So, how can I get the virtual machine to recognize when it is running in ESXI?

  Help?

  Thank you

  Jason

  Also can you check with adapter VMXNET or tru uninstalling and reinstalling VMware tools.

• When a snapshot is complete, so I can start to make changes to the virtual machine?

  When I take a snapshot in merge, a progress bar appears in the window of virtual computer, then disappears in a few seconds.

  But a picture of a clock also appears on the Fusion icon in the dock. Only the clock takes a minute or two to disappear.

  What process is the clock?  What is the take a complete snapshot?  When the progress bar disappears, or when the clock disappears?

  Can I safely begin to make changes to the virtual machine, I want to be able to restore, immediately after the progress bar disappears?

  Or, it is more prudent to wait to make changes until the clock disappears?

  Thank you

  (The progress bar and the clock appear in my Fusion 3 that I use always happy... I don't know what appears in more recent versions).

  While the stopwatch turns, Fusion is busy writing the snapshot to disk, so the performance of your comments and your host could be reduced.

  As long as the performance isn't an obstacle, you can continue to use the virtual machine while the snapshot is taken.  Merger will ensure that the snapshot includes the exact state of the virtual machine at the moment, you started the snapshot: nothing of what you are doing inside the guest, while the snapshot is in progress does not affect the State of the socket.

  See you soon,.

• You can synchronize a file to the virtual machine on two macbook pro

  I have 2 macbook pro I synchronize files with every night. I want to keep the file of the virtual machine the same on both machines. If I run VMWare Fusion with this file to the virtual machine on a single machine, quit VMWare Fusion and then synchronize the file tonight, the other machine will be able to open it without additional configuration steps? Thanks for any help you can give me.

  that would be copy very large files...

  but I don't see any problem other than

  Add
  UUID.action = 'keep '.
  to your file vmx to answer the question "did you copy or move you VM?" once for all time

• Method to move the virtual machines in the data store temporary so I can rebuild pool recommended NFS

  Our current data store is a mounting NFS on Nexenta (zfs), which has a pool, I need to rebuild (migration of raidz2 to mirror striped for performance). Initially, I was relying on the judgment of all virtual machines, create a new pool, copy (cp - r) of the Nexenta console all virtual machines to the new pool, recreating the pool mirror and then copy (cp - r) all the data back.

  I have seen several discussions on this topic and seems like the simplest method would be to use the feature to "Migrate" so that the virtual machines are not fragmented. However in some of my pre-test when I copy a virtual machine between the basins of the Nexenta console it appears (from the data store Explorer) to initially create the vmdk provisioned and then once completed it copy looks too thin.

  I hope that I can simply copy the Nexenta console, using the option "Migrate" in vCenter on each of my 40 MV looks like it would be * quite * tedious compared to the simple issuance of an order of 'cp - r' and leave all the copies of VMs (1.5 to) during the night and then adding them to each host.

  Does anyone have experience with this? Or maybe a way to generate scripts easily (?) the option "migrate" in vCenter?

  Thank you all!

  You can select multiple VMs in vCenter regularly using CTRL + click or shift + click and both migrate them as long as they have the same storage destination.  You can also schedule it as a task.    Add manually each computer virtual back in hand is not less painful than migrating individually, anyway.

• Physical disk how can I add in the Virtual Machine?

  I am trying to set up a network of storage, but I discovered it is there is a limitation for the addition of physical hard disks in the virtual machine.

  I have 1 virtual hard disk for the operating system (SCSI), an invited so I try to add more than 4 disks, but it should not add more than 3. They showed that (IIRC).

  I try to add 4 x 1 TB as physical hard disk in virtual machine hard disks, but it says that I must remove one to add.

  1. in the settings of the Virtual Machine, is there a difference between (SCSI) (IDE) and why are the physical disks (IDE)?

  2. What is the limitation of total hard drives under the VM settings, four?

  Johwwy

  physical disks can be detected such as IDE or SCSI - depends on the drivers used by the host

  SATA in ide-compat mode is used as IDE

  SATA AHCI mode is detected as SCSI

  It is possible to rewrite the descriptions after their creation.

  It is a little advanced - see my notes

  http://sanbarrow.com/VMDK-basics.html#changeadapter

  for a start, it may be necessary to also change the geometry... ask first so uncertain.

  I think the limit of physical disks that can be attached to a virtual machine is 64 = 4 x 15 - scsi and IDE 4-disc drives

• Can I download can imagine them in the data store when the Virtual Machine is running

  If you want to have a consistent state, Yes.

  If you just need a consistent state to the accident, you can create a snapshot, download the base vmdk files and then validate once again the snapshot operation.

  You cannot download files in use (except the read-only).
