Mapping to Com Port to a Virtual Machine

Hello

How can I map a standard com port to a virtual machine. The reason behind this is that I will be remote access to a virtual machine that is on an esxi host who has a com port so that I can configure my router.

Kind regards!

You need just a serial port available on the virtual machine for this? If so, you can add a serial port (connect via the network) for the virtual machine hardware.

... or do you have the router connected to the serial port of the host and must enable passthrough for this?

  • Access to the BlackBerry through the USB port on the virtual machine VMWare

    I have my development environment configuration in VMWare virtual machine, and I have no problems of deployment of BlackBerry applications on a simulator that runs as another virtual machine. The problem starts when I try deploying to the device via the USB port. The address is assigned when the mode of development on the device is not accessible from the VM, but only from my host, who do me any good, since as I said my IDE is in the virtual machine. A way to solve this problem? I can still deploy to the device via wi - fi (which is btw access via different ip - one given by the network) by this can sometimes be slow depending on the strength of the signal, etc, so I prefer to be able to deploy via the USB port.

  • Serial Port is configured for a virtual machine...

    Dear team,

    I found the serial port is configured on one of the virtual machine, which follows is the blink of an eye the same.

    1.JPG

    Just want, serial port is required for the devices on which?

    Usually, you see the serial port after a P2V and not detached from the VM.

    Why is it necessary?  Nowadays it probably isn't, but there are days where we still used modems on (among other things) serial ports.  Introducing a serial port to the virtual machine, you can go through the device that was attached to the serial port of the server host directly on the virtual computer.

    Today it is not really useful and you can probably just close the virtual machine and remove it.

  • Assign a port to a specific virtual machine network and combine ports

    Hello

    I have two questions.  1. is it possible to assign a specific to a single virtual computer network port? and 2. I can aggregate multiple physical port to act as 1 and have a virtual port to VMS?

    I'm new to VMware so please forgive me if this is a fundamental issue.  I tried googleing the issue but did not have much luck.  I have a Dell R710 with 4 physical network ports.  Currently all the virtual machines on the host sharing a port.  I would like to use one of the ports and assign it to a specific virtual machine and only this VM.  One of the virtual machines is my / home server and NFS exports him / home dirs to other systems.  This virtual machine will be cumbersome to use network.  I want to assign its own network for its traffic port does not impede the movement of other virtual machines.

    I would also like to consolidate other ports into a single virtual port.

    If you can tell me a document that explains how to do this, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the VMware communities forum.   With the default installation of ESXi, a single virtual switch (vSwitch0) is created using vmnic0.   If you want to add additional NIC ports simply go to Configuration > network and then click the properties link to the vSwitch.  Click network adapters, and then click Add to add another NIC port.   ESXi then balance the network traffic load.

    You could dedicate a NIC port to a virtual machine, but possibility of ESXi to balance the traffic load I would simply add additional NETWORK adapter ports to vSwitch0.  If your network needs simply to include VM and management traffic, then I would have simply put all 4 ports NETWORK card in vSwitch0 and let ESXi manage traffic.  This way, you get as much redundancy.

    If you use network storage for your virtual machines (such as iSCSI) then you can consider segment this traffic.  In this case create you a new vSwitch and that a link to 2 (i.e. 2 NETWORK ports for iSCSI) NETWORK ports and then other 2 NETWORK ports in vSwitch0 for ranks of VM traffic.

    VMware now offers a right to training free ESXi.  See the first link below.

  • Hang a new virtual machine to the Internet

    All virtual machines that I downloaded connect to internet automatically when I their fire upwards. I downloaded a new machine virtual de VulnHub, specifically BrainPan2. It does not connect to the internet automatically even if it is supposed to. It's a vulnerable VM installation for security penetration testing. Now, I start my VM Kali, do a scan of the network and see all my computers. I'll start a VM unrelated, rerun the scan and check the other appears. Now I launch BrainPan, run the scan and nothing. I don't see on the scan.

    I read several guides associated with the virtual BrainPan2 of the internet machine, and everyone seems to be able to plug in and go. On the site of the BrainPan: 'import brainpan2.ova into your privileged hypervisor and configure the settings of the network to your needs. It will get an IP via DHCP, but it is recommended that run you to the breast of a NAT or visible by the host only operating system because it is vulnerable to attack."

    So, I put the virtual machine to run on NAT, connected by a bridge and also host. I can't detect the virtual machine by any means, it just is not auto-connect. And I can not connect and plug it as he did to hack.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi John,.

    I'm using the regular VMware Fusion, not Fusion Pro. Fusion Pro is a virtual network editor that could help; I do not know. Just for fun, I downloaded BrainPan2 VM, and it worked only. Here are the steps I took:

    • Go to Brainpan: 2 ~ VulnHub
    • Click Download, which exposes the download link.
    • Download the file brainpan2.zip and unzip it.
    • Check the integrity of the downloaded file brainpan2.ova. In terminal, type 'openssl sha1', and then drag the file brainpan2.ova to the Terminal to fill in the full path of the brainpan2.ova file. Press return. Compare the sha1 hash in the terminal with one on the web page of the BrainPan. If they do not match, try again download.
    • Open VMware Fusion 8 and choose file-> import. Drag the file brainpan2.ova to the window. Click on the button continue and save the converted virtual machine. VMware Fusion will display a progress bar as it converts the file .ova. It took a few minutes on my Mac. Once the conversion is completed, you will see a window Finished.
    • Click Customize settings.
    • As part of the network card, select private to my Mac.
    • Start the virtual machine of BrainPan2. I don't bother to upgrade the hardware. You will see a login prompt, which I ignored. The BrainPan2 virtual machine will get an IP address from the DHCP server on VMware virtual network.

    Optional:

    • Open the BrainPan2.vmwarevm file in the Finder. Right-click to display the contents of the package. Open the vmware.log with a text editor like BBEdit or TextWrangler or even TextEdit. Search for "192.168" and you will find two entries to the VMware virtual networks. On my system, the private sector in my Mac network was vmnet1 to 192.168.166. * (I guess that the other network is the "share with my Mac" NAT.) He was appointed vmnet8.)
    • Close the log file.

    Instead of Kali Linux, I used one of my virtual machines in OS X, because it was very convenient. (My Kali Linux virtual machine are saved on an external drive). The virtual machine of OS X I used runs El Capitan, but any version of Mac OS X.

    • Take a snapshot of the OS X machine for two reasons: (1) to maintain its normal parameters and (2) because I don't trust the BrainPan2 virtual machine to not attack the OS X machine on the VLAN.
    • After the snapshot set network configuration of the virtual machine of the OS X private to my Mac, so that it is on the same virtual network as the virtual machine of BrainPan2.
    • Start Mac virtual machine. In the terminal, type "ifconfig en0" to see its IP address on the local network deprived of VMware. There are other ways to find the IP address, of course. My virtual machine to OS X has been awarded 192.168.166.129, so I figured though the virtual machine of BrainPan2 has been assigned to 192.168.166.128, which proved to be just.
    • If it is not already installed, download nmap or Zenmap or tools of everything that you need. A Kali Linux preinstalled.
    • Run a scan of the LAN ping. Example: ' nmap - sn 192.168.166. * "you should see the virtual switch to 192.168.x.1, your virtual Kali Linux or OS X machine and the virtual machine of BrainPan2 (mine was 192.168.166.128 as I suspected). The virtual machine BrainPan2 responds to the pings.
    • At this point, I ran a scan of port of the virtual machine of BrainPan2. Not wishing to spoil your fun, I will only say that I found the open ports on the BrainPan2 virtual machine.

    Don't forget to restore your virtual machine OS X (or Kali Linux) to the previous snapshot once you are done with BrainPan2, if nothing else, but to restore access to the Internet by moving out of virtual private LAN.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know if you are able to make it work. I hate to write solutions and then never discover what happens then.

  • Could not import the message to get model No. Virtual Machine selected

    Hi guys,.

    Need help.  obtained Lab Manager, who was very well, yesterday I've migrated virtual machine that is running Lab Manager and virtual Center for LM to a new environment of VC VC 4.0 5.5, but not changed the computer virtual another installation of VMware tools updated.

    Now, whenever I try to import a new model in an organization, the window has changed, the Panel that has the VM on VC lists very well all VM but he now has a black box with an X in it next to each virtual machine and 'expand' next to it.  I put a name and choose the virtual machine that I want to import and it comes up saying 'No Virtual Machine not selected' even though there obviously.

    Other than this lab manager seem to be OK, I was able to deploy to the workspaces etc. without problem.

    Has anyone seen this?

  • Edit "Sync time with host comments" on several virtual machines by PowerCLI

    Hi people,

    In my vSphere Cluster (Version 5.1), I have about 70 virtual machines in a resource pool named 'RP_nonProd '.

    Now, I need activate 'Time of Sync with host comments' on all these VM in the pool of resources mentioned.

    I figured out, that with the following command:

    Get-ResourcePool | Where {$_.} Name - only 'resources'} | Select Name, @{N = "NumVM"; E={($_ | Get - VM). County}} | Name sort

    I am able to get a list of coma separated from all virtual machines in the resource pool. Unfortunately, I do not know what command allows me to change "Time of comments with the sync host" above PowerCLI.

    I know, that there is an object called "$spec.tools.syncTimeWithHost = $true" that you can configure for real, but I don't know, how to write a simple script with this function.

    So any help will be accepted with gratitude.

    Greetings

  • Add a secondary NETWORK card to a different network in a virtual machine

    We have two ESX 3.5 servers that have been set up by someone else.  All virtual methods on them to join our network of primary trust.

    Well now, I have a virtual machine that needs to connect to our SAN.  To do this with a box of physics, I would be just a second NETWORK adapter to connect the switch that goes to our SAN (that switch is not connected to our network of trust, it's a completely different IP range), but of course I can't do it with a virtual machine.

    The ESX servers already have a connection to these switches, because the SAN is where they store all the images in VMWare.  But I have no idea where start setting this up to allow the VMs themselves to have a secondary NETWORK card to go to the SAN switch.

    How could I go about this?

    Thank you

    Go to your vSwitch configuration, add a port group of virtual machine (give it a name like "VM portgroup iScsi").

    Then add a new network adapter to the virtual machine and attach it to the new group of port.

  • Virtual machine is unable to ping host ESX

    I have a server host to ESX 3.5 Update 4 and I had a weird problem.  I searched for days and can't find an answer then perhaps someone could help me.

    My ESX host works perfectly.  I can manage it by Internet or by customer VI.  Setting up and installation of virtual computer very well market.  The problem occus with the networking of several virtual machines.  I have a group of virtual ports for the virtual machine that is connected to a virtual switch that is bound to a physical card.  The service console is also connected to a single virtual switch. The problem is that only the first virtual machine that is put on will be able to connect to the internet and other devices and computers on the network.  I have 5 different VM with different operating systems and the same network settings.  Any one that I first start will work, but only that one first.  The rest of the virtual machine can ping only this virtual machine that was started first.  They don't ping to the ESX host or anything on the network.

    The network gateway is 192.168.1.254, the ESX host is 192.168.1.110 and the VM is 192.168.1.111 - 115, the DNS is 192.168.1.50

    All virtual machines have static IP.  They each have their own respective intellectual property, the walkways are all set to 192.168.1.254 and DNS to 192.168.1.50

    Yet even as the first market works, and it works perfectly, can see everything on the network and connect to the internet.

  • How can I create a USB Virtual COM Port

    Windows XP Professional / SP3 / 2002 Version

    How do I create a virtual COM Port to USB, so I can run software applications of a Bus USB flash Drive?
    The reason why I am eager to do it, is because I use an audio sequencer and it requires 1 GB of free disk space and at least 1 GB of RAM is recommended. My machine has 0.5 GB of RAM and a total of 6.55 GB of FREE space. My machine has a 256 MB RAM module and I bought another 256 MB RAM module. The manufacturer said that 512 MB of RAM is the maximum that can have my camera.
    My goal is to buy a 4 GB Flash drive and use it to add RAM on my machine. I am also wanting to be able to run software applications that are installed in the USB Flash drive.
    My basic goal is to install the DAW in the USB Flash drive and work with the program that is in the USB Flash drive, and I hope that will release of enough memory on my laptop.

  • Only use the Thunderbolt port in the virtual Windows machine

    Hello world!

    I'm running a Macbook pro with a Win OSX 7 VM to work - we are currently on a split network when you access WWW on Wifi and undertaken by Ethernet through the thunderbolt connection.

    When you plug the cable Thunderbolt in, it disables our Wifi (so that we can fill the Wifi and the access of the company)

    Is it not possible to set up the computer so that the Thunderbolt port is only seen in the virtual machine (Windows) and OSX using the wifi only?

    That would mean I could have two separate work stations, an OSX with WWW access and Windows with business access, which would be extremely useful?

    I lived the preferences, but as soon as I disable the Thunderbolt OSX port it disables it on Windows as well!

    Any help gratefully received!

    You can do all this, I do it all day long.

    On the Mac, the "top" of your list interface is considered to be the main route of access and the host will forward the traffic it is there until he can't, and he then tries other interfaces.

    So, just to pay for the order of Service so that your WiFi is at the top.

    Then you can use the merger to specify the Thunderbolt interface to fill in.

    This allows Windows to use the bolt of lightning, and the Mac continues to use the WiFi.

    You an also save the config in a 'location', which are accessible from the Apple menu to quickly switch between configs. (i.e. specific vs)

  • How the Virtual Machine port group communication?

    How the Virtual Machine port group communication?

    Port group is virtual aggregation of ports on vSwitch. A vSwitch can have multiple Port groups which separate the different network traffic. Port groups communicate with vSwitch, and we have physical network maps on vSwitch which establish communication with the external network. We can configure security, NIC teaming, traffic shapping nework political and at the level of the port groups. Once the port group is created, we can assign to vNIC

    How to establish communication?

    Public network > Switch L3 Core > ESXi physical adapter > vSwitch > groups > virtual NIC > Virtual Machine

    Virtual machine connect to the physical map using vNIC coming on Port groups. This is how it works.
