Is it Possible to expose a physical NIC to the guest operating system?

• Grouping of NICs in the guest operating system

  We have 4 ESX servers each containing cards of 4 GB for the production traffic. These are combined to form a 4 GB pipe to the Cisco switch. Our guest VM is rc2 for windows 2008 and my problem is that I need to know if its possible to team within the virtual machine NIC windows 2008.

  We have 4 NIC physical that teamed up to form 4 GB pipe to cisco switch 2008 physical windows with the same configuration of network servers

  If I copy a file of 5 GB from one physical server to another physical server, it takes about 70 seconds (which is great). If I copy the file of one of the physical servers to one of my VM servers it takes longer than 3 minutes (not good).

  If I copy the same file between 2 servers on the same ESX host it takes also more than 3 minutes (not good)

  If my theory is right, then I think the bottleneck is the fact that my VM servers only have one NIC 1 Gb so ideally, I wish I could make team a pair of network adapters in a virtual machine and repeat the test.

  Any information on how to network within the guest virtual machine team interface cards would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  VM NIC teaming is useless in most of the cases, in particular that. 3 minutes is equivalent to 27 MB/s, which is only 25 to 30% speed to 1 GB.

  Run a pure network Guide, in your case system disk can be a bottleneck.

• Save the number of the Virtual Machine: expand the size of the virtual disk of Guest OS affect the physical disk on the host operating system files?

  People,

  Hello. I use 3 Player VM and Guest OS Windows Server 2003. The host OS is Windows 7. I need to increase the size of the VM disk, so who can install several systems in the guest OS. If something bad happens during the expansion of the size of the virtual disk, the guest operating system and its Applications will not work. Thus, before expanding the size of the virtual disk, I need to back up the virtual machine hard disk external.

  I have check the disk hard host operating system Windows 7, the path is C:\VirtualMachine\WindowsServer2003\... When I get to the top of the virtual machine on the external hard drive, simply select the 'VirtualMachine' folder and save automatically. I have 3 questions as follows:

  First of all, if something bad happens during the expansion of the size of the virtual disk, the guest operating system and its Applications do not work. Can I just delete the folder 'VirtualMachine' in the host operating system?

  Secondly, the problem of the first question does not affect files in the physical hard disk to host operating system?

  Third, if something wrong happens during expand the size of the virtual disk of OS guest, I simply delete the folder 'VirtualMachine' in the host operating system and load the original 'VirtualMachine' from the external hard drive in the host operating system. Works correctly as long as one is the Virtual Machine before Stude the virtual disk size?

  That's right, as long as you have not added and other virtual disks of different folders on the host of the virtual machine, you can probably did not.

  After developing the size of the virtual disk, you must also change the size of the partition in the guest operating system.

• Is it possible to package to create 1 ACE containing 2 operating systems?

  Previously on ACE 1, it was possible to package the two operating systems in 1 package for deployment.

  I have now updated the use of ACE 2 with the administration server.  However I did not understand how (or if it is possible) to package 2 operating systems in a package like I did in ACE 1.

  Is it still possible?

  I searched through communities etc but have not found anything on this and documentation has nothing about it either.

  Treat your virtual machine exactly as you would with a physical, when configuring a system dual boot.  Once you have your virtual machine created and configured to your liking, and then select the options of the ACE.

• Is it possible to install multiple copies of Windows 7 in Virtualbox as guest operating system

  Hello

  My laptop runs on Linux OS, I installed VirtualBox. Now, I would like to install multiple copies of Windows 7 on VirtualBox as a guest operating system.

  Is this possible?

  My activation will expire after 3 installations?

  What are the limits in this situation?

  Microsoft treats several facilities in VirtualBox (as guest operating system) as a single installation instance? I think that the hardware (motherboard) is used as a fingerprint to detect changes in the systems, but as the material is going to be the same custom installation will be treated as a single instance?

• NIC Vista guest operating system does not work

  I am running VMware Workstation 5.5.5 build-56455, on a Win XP Pro host system.

  I just installed Windows Vista business as a guest operating system, but I can't get the network to work.

  How to make this work?

  The 'real' my Dell workstation NIC is a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller, if it is relevant at all.

  Concerning

  MazH

  It seems that the virtual NETWORK adapter is not installed on the client, otherwise, you would see an adapter in the comments "ipconfig" with an APIPA address.

  Install the VMware tools in the comments (you always do). It contains the correctdrivers for the virtual card.

• Is it possible I can get the virtual computer connectivity after restart to connect to the local network in the host operating system?

  Hi all

  For some reason, I have to disable and then enable the LAN connection in the host operating system. If some virtual machines are running during this time, connectivity all VMs for out-of-world are lost, they cannot connect to the host even more (by running the ping command). I tried a few methods to retrieve the connectivity, but all have failed, for example,

  1. reboot the virtual computer

  2. restart VMware Workstation

  3. restart the corresponding system services in the host operating system

  The only way I can retrieve all is to restart the host operating system itself.

  Yes, is there short any path, I can retrieve the connectivity of these virtual machines?

  Thanks in advance.

  Try installing a newer driver.  According to the site, you should be able to find a driver dated 2008 or 2007 (depending on which exact model of NetLink card you have):

• How to tie a VM exclusively to 1 of the 4 physical NIC on the VM host?

  Hey guys, I have essential Vsphere (not essential more), and I'm trying to figure out how tie/link a virtual machine running a mail server to one of the 4 network cards on the VM (Dell R510) host. I try to put/run this VM (e-mail and Web server) through my firewall DMZ port, so I would link the virtual machine to one of the network cards unused (only 2 are active by grouping network adapters).

  So far, I have looked through of the "networking - > Hardware" in the configuration of the host and see all my virtual machines are under 'VM Network '. I tried to change the settings of "VM Network" to make the 3rd and 4th nic unused, but when I try a make a another network of virtual machine (VM Network 2) there automatically all NICs in it. There seems to be no way that create a network of vm with just the network cards that I want. If anyone of you knows different let me know where I was wrong, or if you know another way I should do please let me know. Thanks for your time.

  You do not want to create a vDS. What you need to do is to create a second standard virtual switch with an uplink to the desired network and virtual machine port group.

• Is it possible to install the new operating system on a separate external drive?

  Currently running XP 32 Bit C: and do not want to lose all that, so I was wondering if it is possible to load 7 64 bit on a different drive (not C :) and select from F2 at startup - any advice much appreciated.)

  Cannot install Windows 7 on an external hard drive. You can create a partition in Windows XP, and then install Windows 7 on it.

  the first thing you need to do is download Easeus at the following link

  EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition - http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Manager-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html

  ------------------------

  Proceed with the installation of Easeus:

  Click Next, follow the easy on-screen instructions.

  Once the installation is finished, click on finish

  Click go to the main screen

  Select the drive you want to resize in partition window

  Drag the button until you have an amount of disk space to install Windows 7 you want, and then release.

  Click on apply to apply the changes that you just made.

  Click Yes

  Click Yes

  Your computer will restart several times and changes will be made to the layout of the partition, this process is hands-free, so no interaction is required.

  ------------------

  Installation of Windows 7.

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next. (remember, it is the partition that you created previously in Windows XP.

• End end NIC Teaming on ESXi with redhat linux guest operating system

  I'm running into a situation of lack of bandwidth for my backup server running inside the virtual machine environment. To increase bandwidth coming from a number of backup clients on my backup inside ESXi 5 server. I would like to collage x NIC 2 inside my redhat Server installation and train the grouping of NETWORK cards using Hash my ESXi host IP.

  What is the feasible way to provide a 2G from end to end connection to the outside world for my redhat backup media server? or there is an inverse?

  I don't think you need to add a second NETWORK card to the Redhat VM, which acts as a backup server as a single for the virtual computer NETWORK adapter can accommodate more load than 1 G.

  I have a couple of Redhat with a single NIC servers. VMXNET the following example shows this ethtool sees for the NETWORK adapter on one of these Redhat servers.

  [sfuller@rhel7 ~] $ sudo ethtool eth0
  Settings for eth0:
  Supported ports: [TP]
  Supported link modes: 1000baseT/Full
  Supports auto-negotiation: no
  Advertised link modes: unreleased
  Announced the autonegotiation: No.
  Speed: 1000 Mb/s
  Duplex: full
  Port: Twisted pair
  PHYAD: 0
  Transceiver: internal
  Auto-negotiation: off
  Link detected: Yes

  When I run a transfer TCP (using thrulay) from one server to another, you can see that it is 2.6Gbps average on the transfer of 10 seconds.

  [sfuller@rhel7 ~] $ thrulay-t10 rhel6
  the local window # = 219136B; distance window = 219136B
  block size # = 8192B

  (0) # 10,000 0.000 2687,479 0,280 0,566 202.781

  So this shows that we can get more than the throughput of 1 Gbps on a single "GE NIC" on a Redhat VM.

  You will need to do is, as you mentioned, change load balancing on the host than the Redhat VM ESX runs using the road based on the hash of the IP. This will allow the Redhat VM to use more than a single teddy bear on the ESX host. You also need to several customers, including LSB of their XOR IP addresses differently, but you said you have several clients and so unless you're really unlucky with the IP addresses to clients have you should be good there.

  I hope this helps and good luck.
