• ESXi installation before vCenter Server?  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  My plan for a new vSphere Essentials Plus 5.5 U2a installation is to have the vCenter Server on a virtual machine on the servers of the host on which is installed ESXi.  However, all the installation instructions I found indicate the user to first install the vCenter Server.  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  Thank you for your help.

  Hi munkyman welcome to communities.

  After you have installed your first ESXi host, open a browser and go to https://your-ESXi-ip-or-FQDN

  You can download the vSphere Client here. It is a windows application that you can install on your desktop. It is often referred to as the "c# Client vSphere" in communities and blog posts, because it is a new implemented in the vCenter Server Web client.

  But for the beginning, install the vSphere Windows Client. You can then launch it and connect directly to your ESXi host. Here you can create your first virtual machine, which can be the VM vCenter (installation of Windows or device, that is you).

  You can use the web client or connect to the Server with the client c# vSphere vCenter VCenter runs.

• Private network between two or more virtual machines?

  I've been running an educational network configuration kind of base on esxi to work to teach their colleagues how running things. To do this I create a separate switch, connect the virtual machines to (only) the switch and run Ethereal on a machine with network in promiscous mode.

  Now, I would do it on my laptop. Can I do this with the merger? Can I network machines without connecting to the host (to ensure that there is no additional noise)? Can I configure a NIC in promiscous mode?

  I think the important part of the question is in regards to the networking VMs as they see, but not the host (btw merger networking of information: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-2527). Basically, it boils down to the host option only and the answer is no.

  In fact, the answer is yes because after that Virtual Machines are started can be simply down the vmnet1 network card and thus isolate the virtual machines between them.

  In other words on the network of Machines target virtual host-only and then start them up to the point where they receive their IP address DHCP host-only server, then in a Terminal on Mac (/ Applications/Utilities /) use the following command in low only Ethernet adapter of the host host.

  sudo ifconfig vmnet1 down
  

  Now the target of the Virtual Machines will be able to communicate only with each other and not the host.

  Note: You must down only Ethernet adapter of the host host after the virtual machines have acquired their IP addresses, because if you down the adapter before the Virtual Machines will not receive their IP addresses.

  The host only allows virtual machines to see the host, but it really shouldn't be any other "noise". Why do you have to be concerned about this?

  On the question of the noise, I think that VMware Fusion actually uses virtual hubs, no virtual switches (even if by mistake, VMware calls virtual switches), there is a risk of bleeding, and this has been discussed ad nauseam and various forums.

• VMware networking help - network bridge / to access the virtual machines form other pc

  I have a computer 'server' that had 4 VM launched on it.

  I need to connect to these virtual machines, all of which have their own IP addresses. I can ping the server or the host of a remote computer, but must be able to communicate with the virtual machines in the remote/client computerss.

  Can anyone offer insight?  I tried to set up an automatic bypass at one of the virtual machines

  Any thoughts?

  Sorry, I'm not sure I can follow you. In any case, what you're trying to do is to configure adaper network of the virtual machine as "Bridged" within the parameters of the virtual machine and then change network card settings in as guest OS:

  IP address: 192.168.1.21 (where 21 must be an unused IP address currently)
  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
  Def gateway: 192.168.1.1

  Preferred DNS server: 192.168.1.1

• Create a simple internal network between two or more virtual machines

  Hello guys,.
  I just wanted to ask how to create an internal network between several virtual machines without the host must be a part of.

  I don't want that your network has a NAT, but I want to HOST a part of another network.

  
  I tried the changes on network cards, but does not work...
  Obviously with VMware Workstation 8

  Yes, your "Virtual Machine settings" - screenshot #1 - Select VMnet2 (for example).  Do this for each customer that you want on this private network, "Guest-only.  Note that you need to configure the network settings on each client within each guest OS; or have a guest to be a server with a dhcp server running that other clients can obtain an IP address configuration of.

• VMotion and grouping of NETWORK cards to a single virtual machine?

  You use them NOR allows the parallel VMotion for VM.

  A unique virtual machine enjoy a network of bulk VMotion?

  It would be logical for VM; s with large RAM configurations.

  Not a single virtual machine can never enjoy HASH IP nic teaming because the "source ip" and "destination ip" is always the same for each ip packet.

• Upgrade to Version 6 slows down my XP Virtual Machine

  Just upgraded to Fusion version 6.0.3 and starting to regret.  When I start my VM XP processor is given quite a beating, cooling fan comes in.  Once I start trying to use it then everything takes forever.  I tested a number of variants of Windows software prior to release and therefore am and then install by using Add/Remove programs to uninstall.  First of all, it is showing the flashlight looking for about 10-15 seconds as control panel starts and then takes a few minutes to complete the list of programs before they can start to uninstall my program.  Everything I did the upgrade is to allow the merger to upgrade the Virtual Machine.

  Any ideas?

  XP cannot use more than 2 cores, and you are starving the host for resources (this is a 4 core chip).  Downgraded to 2 hearts should help a lot.

• Migration of virtual machines in ESXi 4.1 to 5.5 to new hardware

  I'm new to VMware and our company bought 4 new servers and a SAN to replace our old VSphere 4.1 installation of 12 year.  The old configuration consisting of a server VCenter 4.1 physics 2003, 2 Dell 2900 ESXi hosts and 1 MD300i SAN.  Gen9 again the Installer 4 HP DL360 (3 host 1 VCenterServer) and MSA 2040.  Can someone please explain to me what would be the best way to go about moving more of our VM current for the new hardware? I found this from a previous post here, but it does not move the virtual machine to a SAN to another.

  Migration of the VMs of ESXi 4.x to 5.5

  "If I understand your question, continue to build the new environment of 5.5 with your 3 hosts from scratch 'ignoring' your old hosts. Once your new environment up & running, connect 4.1 guests to your new server vCenter Server and vMotion to move virtual machines while they run to the new cluster (live migration without interruption).

  VMTools upgrades do not have place automatically during migration.

  Once your virtual machines on new hosts, update tools as usual and you can then also upgrade virtual hardware of your virtual machines.

  Virtual HW update is optional, though; If you do not have the VMs that need the new features you can skip this last step and keep them as they are. »

  TYIA.

  The previous answer is pretty good, but I would like to add a few elements.

  You can 'disconnect' your 4.1 hosts of your old vcenter with running virtual machines, and then when you connect the hosts in your environment of 5.5 it will import your VM running as well.  As long as you have properly configured virtual networks you can live migrate vmfs old host and the old store of data simultaneously via the web client as long as your esx license allows it.  Otherwise close your virtual machines down to 1 at a time to migrate them above.

  Alternatively, you can consider running your vcenter as a virtual machine within the cluster it manages.  This gives you some DRS and HA for vcenter, plus a 4th host for virtual machines.

  If you don't have additional license you can also install your new hosts of 5.5 and run for 60 days before that you upgrade your 4.1 licenses to apply to your new host.

• migrate virtual machines to esxi 3.5 free vsphere 4.1 without vcenter

  Hi all

  I have vms on 2 hosts esxi 3.5 with direct (without san)-attached storage that I want to migrate to a new server esxi under license of 4.1 vsphere essentials. I intend using the stand-alone converter to migrate virtual machines from 3.5 to 4.1 and then upgrade the other two hosts to 4.1 and then moving some virtual machines using the converter.

  I have Web servers that I don't want to bring down more than 10 to 20 minutes (not the 1 to 2 hours that should be a cold conversion with converter) so I try to use the feature p2v on the virtual machine running Web servers.

  Has anyone done this with no san and no vcenter? If so how did you do?

  is it possible to migrate without losing configurations of network adapter in the virtual machine?

  I can just do something like taking a snapshot of the system of runnying, then copy files to new host, then add to the inventory, upgrade tools, hardware upgrade?

  Thank you!

  is it possible to migrate without losing configurations of network adapter in the virtual machine?

  After you copy the files and re - add to inventory new virtual machine, you must take care on the issue of handgun that you see in the market.

  Choose I_moved the files to keep the VM UUID and the same virtual MAC address.

• Close all virtual machines on ESXi

  Hello

  I'm new in the administration of vSphere. I would like to raise our ESXi servers due to updates, but I've read that you shut down all virtual machines that are on it. You have something better to do then close VMs one? I expect a powershell script, but I have found none so far.

  Thank you

  Kralijir, you can do it from the console GUI.

  In the left pane, select the ESX host.

  In the right pane, click the tab "virtual machines". Now, you can select block all virtual machines here and simply right-clicking them stop all, or make other changes in bulk.

  Some changes via selection bulk require all virtual machines to be in the same State; Turned off the power, power, etc.

  If it works for you, please mark this answer as the 'response '.

• How to export/import a virtual machine with ESXi 5

  I use the free version of ESXi 5 and have created a virtual machine that is configured with the software for our project. I would like to share this virtual machine with other members of the team, some of whom are in other places and have slow network connections.  I want to pack the VM in a reasonable size file or a set of files I could ftp (or put it on DVD for people in areas of slow network) that they could then import into their ESXi hosts. The virtual machine has a 60 GB drive that is implemented by using the option 'thin', so it contains only 6 or 7 GB of real data right now.  Is it possible to export the image to a file or set of files that can be imported to another people ESXI host?  Before when I used VM Player we could do this by upgrading backup files in virtual machine directory and copy them to the new machine. With the ESXi data store, I don't know that something like this can be done.  I used vCenter Converter to convert to ESXi Infrastructure VM in VM Player format (and vice versa), but it is extremely slow. I think I might point the Source to my ESXi host and the Destination to a co-workers ESXi host and run a 'conversion' to transfer the files, but I think it would be very slow and impractical for some people to 'slow-network '.  I tried with vSphere Client navigation data store and I see the download options, but when I tried to download a VM directory it just hung.  I enabled ssh on my server ESXi and I found the store of data under/vmfs/volumes and when I look in the folder that contains my VM, there a file myvmname - flat hard which is 60 GB in size, so if I tar the contents of this folder to move elsewhere it will be huge.

  Can anyone suggest a solution?  The licensed version of ESXi would offer better alternatives?

  You can watch export OVF available in the Client vSphere for this function.

• Unable to ping Virtual Machines within ESXi host (vSphere Home Lab)

  Question - I can not ping vcenter1 to sql, cannot ping vcenter1 to vcenter2, cannot ping vcenter2 to sql.
  There is basically no communication between virtual machines with the Esx host and in the whole of the host. Firewalls is disable on all these machines virtual esx internal hosts.

  Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  Make sure that virtual network on ESXi hosts maps are Sunrise promiscous mode networking.

• Cannot ping or you connect to a virtual machine in ESXi 4.1

  Hello

  Subject: I'm using VMware Workstation 7.1.2 on my laptop to install ESXi 4.1 2 hosts, VCenter and virtual machines to create a training environment. Not the ideal situation, but budget restrictions prevail.

  Problem: cannot access any virtual machine created under ESXi hosts that have been created in Workstation 7.1.  Also, each internal virtual computer cannot access the internet or communicate with other external VMs created in Workstation 7.1.  However, all virtual computers outside created in VMware WS 7.1 can communicate with each other.

  Configuration:

  Asus laptop: Intel i3-350, 8 GB of RAM internal 500 GB, 500 GB WD USB drive

  computer laptop operating system: Ubuntu 10.04

  VMware Workstation 7.1.2 (Linux)

  Windows Server 2008 DC-64 VM (VCenter installed)

  ESXi 4.1

  I created two ESXi hosts and a virtual Windows Server 2008 computer, in my computer.  I installed the client in Windows Server 2008 VM and VCenter.  Each virtual machine can communicate with laptop computer and other virtual machines.  The real problem is that inside THAT VM created in ESXi running Workstation 7.1.2 cannot communicate with the internet, no other external virtual machines.

  Each external VM (those created in WS) network card is filled, and I tried to use VMXNET3, E1000, VMXNET2 (Enhanced) and Flexible for the VM inside (those created in ESXi host located in WS) type of adapter.  No luck.  The Virtual Machine port group and VMKernel port showing a connection to the physical adapter (vmnic0). I tried to reconfigure the settings of the virtual network editor too.

  

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  first stop each virtual machine on your vmware workstation, enter the above command and then run those virtual machines.
