Is it possible to add a virtual network adapter from CF to a virtual machine?

Hello

Really, it would be great if I could add a network card virtual FC for a virtual machine so that I could broadcast a lun to it.

is this possible?

don't know if you are referring to NPIV, but please take a look at the article below and see if it helps:

Blocking task - add a virtual machine to VAPP

Unable to add the virtual machine to inventory

Hi assane, is vmware-cmd same available on ESXi 5.0 and later versions?

To the OP:

If you use 5.0 or later ESXi, vmware-cmd will not work. Alternatively, you can use:

Vim - cmd solo/registervm /vmfs/volumes/datastore_name/VM_directory/VM_name.vmx

That said, it could be several reasons of failure regarding the registration of the VM. Can put you up a screenshot of the error / symptom you see when it breaks down?

Can I add a virtual machine to a dvswitch without using vcentre?

Afternoon,

Our vcentre is not set up to handle the dvswitches on the host - bit of a long story.

Until he does, can we use the command line to add a virtual machine to a dvswitch?

If so, can someone help me with this?

Thank you

Martin

vCenter is required to set up and manage a distributed switch.

Is it possible to migrate a virtual machine between vcenter servers programmatically?

Hi all

My question is quite simple:

-Is it possible to migrate a virtual machine between vcenter servers programmatically?

Let's say we have two data centers:

vcenter1

-vm1

-vm2

vcenter2

-vm3

Is it possible to migrate vms between vcenter2 and vcenter1 programmatically? (or vice versa)?

Also, I'm assuming that the appropriate VLAN and data warehouses across the different vcenters!

Thank you

Luis

It is not possible, vMotion or migration live is in an instance of vCenter, it cannot be covered through two even if you have the data store accessible both vCenters and sets of the host. At best, you can unregister the virtual machine of vCenter 1 host and re-save as on vCenter 2 host, but once again, it is while the virtual machine is turned off.

Unable to add the virtual machine network services

Hello:

I already read that warning Virtual PC 2007 is not compatible with win 7-64.
However, I read that it is "unofficially" possible launch.
OK, I installed it and it worked except networking.
Basically, I need to install the Virtual Machine Network Services.
I right click on my network card-> properties-> install-> services-> virtual machine network services (VPC2007 folder: where I can see VMNetSrv.inf)
Then says Windows: it is impossible to add the requested feature. The specified service has been marked for deletion.

The problem is that I get this error even on WinXP SP3, so I think that there is something else wrong.

And of course, Virtual PC 2007 available networks are only: no connection, Local, NAT. (Missing my physical adapter)

Thank you!!!

Possible to add an org network to an existing paralytic

Hi is it possible to add another network to an existing VAPP? How is that possible?

Hello

You can always add Org network to an existing paralytic... even if the vApp is running...

All you need to do is Open the VAPP (NOT THE VM!) and select the network icon add from there...

It will show you a dialog box where you can select what type of network you want to...

Comment cela Although you will be able to add the netowrk, you will not be able to connect to the virtual machine if the vApp is turned on...

So you will have to turn off the vApp, connect the virtual machine to the N/W Org, then turn on the TIME...

hope this helps :-)

Is it possible to create a virtual machine on a network share?

I have a server from SuSE 11 running samba to share files and directories files in my PC XP x 64. I installed VMware Player on my XP machine and went through the steps to create a virtual machine on my SuSE server. Vmx and vmdk files is create successfully, but when I try to start the virtual machine I get the message: ' could not open the virtual machine: you don't have access rights to this file. " However VirtualBox (also installed on my XP machine) doesn't have this problem. Indeed, I created the virtual machine of player in the same shared directory I use for my VirtualBox VM to eliminate the permissions on the linux side issues. Is this a limitation of the player?

Kind regards

John

Unfortunately, for me, it would not solve my problem. My problem is that I have to allow the IP addresses and aliases on my Server LDAP (with Openfiler) to give them access to my network share. I am able to access my Windows XP operating system network sharing. When I run Ubuntu in a virtual machine, I am able to access the network share here as well. But when the Player tries to access a virtual computer on the network, it gets the message "access denied." That tells me that my SIN is either see a different IP or ID different from the drive. I can see all network (including virtual) cards, and I welcomed them into my LDAP. So, for me, that means that somehow the player is trying to access my network share with some other than the user ID, I am connected to my computer with.

To test, I will set up one of my linux boxes, install Player it and see if it has the same problem to access a network share. Then who will tell me if it is perhaps a shade of Windows Networking/authentication, or if it is OS independent and everything in the player.

Would be nice if I could get a logfile out Openfiler (or any application) which showed when an unauthorized access attempt was made. Then I could easily get the user ID and IP address and add it to the LDAP server. But, alas, I was not able to find such a newspaper or a tool that will do it.

is it possible to access the virtual machine when the network is down...

Hello. He... IAM wondering is it possible that we can access the virtual machine when the network is down... (Because of power outages or when the fluctuations...) ................?

Is it possible that I can configure my Virtual Machine...?

Thank you and best regards...

Indianmale...

Hello

Not really...

For an environment hosted... If you can access the console of the host, you can always access the console of the virtual machine regardless of the State of the network outside of the console. VMware Workstation, Fusion and server all fall into this category.

For ESXi/ESX... you need a host outside to access the console of the virtual machine. ESX and ESXi not displayed graphics or VMs of their consoles and management devices. So, you need an external machine that can run the vSphere Client or access to the virtual machine via RDP, VNC according to Guest OS involved or SSH.

How to add a new network adapter in vmware

Hello

I installed vmware server 2.0 on ubuntu which is installed on a map of mother xeon quad core & intell. the motherboard has 2 network cards and is recognized by ubuntu.

vware installation went well, but I see that it has not recognized the 2 nd network adapter.

can someone let me know how I can add this adapter for vmware server.

The first time you have run the script vmware - config.pl, did you just create a single bridged network? You have been asked what host device to use (eth0, eth1, etc.). To fill another physical NETWORK card, you just need to re - run vmware - config.pl, although it will take for all the virtual machines to be stopped / suspended and then tell him you want an another bridged NIC and enter the name of the physical device. Then in the comments, you can choose which NIC to use or add another virtual NETWORK card via the option "Add Hardware" and bind it to the another card bridged.

Is it possible - installation of a virtual machine with Server 2008 on a disc and use the other drive for storage

I have a Dell power edge server with 2 Configuration of disks 1 TB in raid 0

I can install a Win Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 on a VD without problem, but I do not see the other disk of TB in option within Windows Server to be used as storage SQL only.

How can I get the two disks to appear in Windows server?

what I want is:

First Dell 1 TB drive VD = Server 2008R2 and SQL on C:\

Second VD Dell 1 TB drive = D:\ like disk storage

do I have to configure the Dell VD another way or is it possible

Thank you

You basically configure the virtual machine that you want on all the available storage (do not forget to keep free space, for example snapshots). -As I understand it - is so that ESXi does not see the storage! This is often caused by the RAID controllers not taken in charge or the RAID issues. Please check if the RAID controller is supported as well as the configuration. BTW. Why do you want to configure RAID0? If you want to create two virtual disks on warehouses of separate data anyway, simply present to ESXI as two separate disks/volumes.

Is it possible to rename a virtual machine built with vCAC in vCAC?

I thought it would be easy enough, i.e., it would be in the Articles--> Machines and either of the actions/edit the option form the drop down. I don't see anything that would allow me to rename a virtual computer in vCAC (at least of the discovered elements). Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how?

Edit: I suppose that just rename the machine at the OS level only is not good enough in this vCAC would not know the changes. If this is not the case and he would take the passage of an OS level rename, then that's also what I need to know. So this is another question I'd not be so: what happens in the vCAC if you rename the machine at the level of the BONE?

Hey there!

There is no option to rename a virtual computer after he provided vCAC, why would you need a computer virtual needs to be renamed if you have already chosen prefix VM, if you don't like to use the prefix works, you can the custom property to provide the name of the virtual machine asking for it.

If you, at all times, choose to change the name of the virtual machine and the DNS name is also populated new name, here's the good news for you, vCAC detects him name change at the level of the BONE and rename the virtual computer in the vCAC console but the bad news is that the name of the folder to the level of the old data store that could give administrators a moment difficult to follow the huge list VM other virtual machines.

I hope this should help you!

Hello

Add virtual machines to the inventory, I need to browse the data store, get him the virtual machine folder, click with the right button on the vmx file and add it to the inventory. If I have to do for 100 virtual machines, that it takes a lot of time.

Is there a way I can add multiple virtual computers to inventory collectively without doing it for each individual computer?

How is it possible to clone a virtual machine cluster when data warehouses not presented in source and destination

I did not know that on ESX 3.5, in order to afin de vivre live clone a virtual machine from one ESX host to another, source and destination stores had to be available. However, I'm currently cloning a virtual machine to a host in a datacenter and cluster to one host in a different data center, but the destination store is not available at the source host and visa versa.

How is that possible? This is a new feature of vSphere?

That seems to work on the console port. See this thread: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1475721#1475721
