Need to programmatically change the network on an interface is

Hi all

A VSwitch our ESX servers is configured with multiple VLANs and I have a requirement for per program (command line) change the network Virtual Machine is too connected.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thank you

Darin

You can manually edit the .vmx VM (s) configuration file and vimsh vmware-vim-cmd wrapper allows you to refresh the configuration VM (s):

[root@himalaya root]# vmware-vim-cmd vmsvc/reload
Insufficient arguments.
Usage: reload vmid

Reload the virtual machine state from afresh.

Unfortunately the virtual machine must be powered off the coast, I think that to do this.

If you need to do while the virtual machine is running, you'll want to take a look at the API of VI and watch in the ReconfigVM_Task() http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.VirtualMachine.html#reconfigure

It is also implemented in the VI Perl Toolkit Utilities in the form of script: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl15/doc/perl_toolkit_utilities_idx.html and you can watch the script called vmreconfig.pl http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl15/doc/vmreconfig.html

The VIPT must be running on one or the other Windows/Linux or on VMware VIMA/vMA, not on the Console of Service of ESX classic

  • programmatically change the date of modification to a folder

    Is it possible to programmatically change the date of last modification of a file?  The OpenG info VI file doesn't seem to work for a folder.

    I think you should be able to use .NET, as shown in the attached VI (although in my case, each file fails this and says that the file is being used by another process. If the same thing happens to you I suggest looking more far away).

  • Impossible to change the network location of the public in the network and sharing Center.

    I'm unable to change the network location of the public to the private sector or at home. In network and sharing Center, he is listed as unidentified network, and under "Public network" is written in black and is not clickable.

    I have a connection high speed (USB connected) also listed above under "Home network", it is written in blue and is clickable.

    The affected connection is an XBOX 360 connected via a network cable. I wish to connect the XBOX to the Internet via ICS, but cannot do so until this connection is either private or at home.

    Things I've tried so far;

    Reinstall the drivers,

    disconnect and reconnect, turning on all the elements concerned.

    All ideas,

    Tourist shifty.

    Enable ICS on the connection Strip and not on the XBOX 360 connection.  When you do this, the connection of the XBOX 360 will still be confused with a public network, but everything should work. Boulder computer Maven

  • How to change the network connection?

    Greetings,

    I try by programming (perl) change which network a virtual machine is attached to.

    The problem that I think that I have is how to map support-> network-> value back to support-> deviceName.

    For example, I empty the deviceInfo and is part of the production:

    'backup' = > ({bless him

    "deviceName" = > "qaenv1.dummy"

    'network' = > ({bless him

    'type' = > 'network ',.

    'value' = > ' network-28803 "»

    (}, 'ManagedObjectReference'),

    'useAutoDetect' = > 0

    (}, 'VirtualEthernetCardNetworkBackingInfo'),

    So if I want to change the network for, say, qaenv2.dummy, how to find the value of medium-> network-> value for qaenv2.dummy?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Get ESXI, up and running, but I have changed the NETWORK card settings, how do I fix? Help please!

    ESXi perfect on my server but stupid ass me were running so I

    play with the card NETWORK card and I changed to 1000 end, and it was

    100 MB and I forgot I was on a 10/100 switch,.

    in any case now I

    cannot ping or you connect the box to esxi...

    What should I do?

    The

    Server is a dual nic, should I connect the other cable network and

    Configure the which? will it work?

    I changed it using vSphere client...

    Connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse to the host (as when you installed and initially configured ESXi)... Connect to the host interface and select the option "configure management network". Clear the existing NETWORK card, and then select the second network card. You will have to regularize, save the configuration when prompted and let it restart the management network. You should be able to manage the host by connecting the client vSphere again. Then, you change the network configuration to match the new settings, or difficulty of the NETWORK card that you have initially activated to use.

    Is the host within a data center/server room? Why is the selector located only 100 MB? If the switch is able to go in the UK, ask that the host port ESXi will use either door to Go, full-duplex. Otherwise, you create a bottleneck, where it can be easily avoided.
