  I installed VMWare tools on the guest-os (Win2003R2). I started Win2008R2 nine as host and shared folder did not work. I thought that maybe it works with OS experienced as Win2K3 and built a brand new Windows 2003 host and once again no shared folder. Later, I found above document, saying: it is not supported at all then, is there any altarnatives.

  Only way I see is, add a dummy WinXP guest with "bridged" n/w, to play the role of trading place for exchanging files b/w other guests and the host. In my case, it is very important to keep the others invited Win2003 unware of outside n/w.  This strategy XP, just to share the log file is an exaggeration.  I guess people must have solved this problem in a more elegant way, if so please let me know, if there are better ways.

  Host is able to ping Guest, but not the otherway, and I think, it's because unless configuration host only the client ethernet adapter is not connected to the physical ethernet adapter of the host.

  Should not be.  Windows is concerned, host-only network is just like a physical NIC connected to a physical LAN.  It's just that in this case, the cards are virtual and the LAN is separate from any other LAN.  In short, your physical host as "two network cards", the physical on and the only host.  The host only one is connected to a virtual switch.  The only other thing connected to this virtual switch is NIC of the virtual machine

  Host is able to ping Guest, but not the otherway, and I think, it's because unless configuration host only the client ethernet adapter is not connected to the physical ethernet adapter of the host.

  As noted above, do not need to connect to the physical NETWORK card because the parameter invited only creates a LAN completely separated between the physical host and the virtual machine.

  If there is procedure to this share windows works, please give me more details. A shared windows is all I need (without resorting to the NAT) to Exchange data between G & H.

  At this point, traditional troubleshooting techniques can be used.  If the comments can not PING host, host has disabled firewall?  But if your goal is to share a file from the guest virtual machine, then PING the host comments is not essential.  Simply the host can display the actions on the guest.  (In fact, PING is not essential whatever it is, as long as you see the shares.)  And you look at one/PINGing by name or IP address?  If you do not need, just use the IP address to remove any DNS resolution problems.

• Configuration connection between two virtual machines on VMware Player

  Hello

  I have a host machine running Windows 7, which is connected to my company's intranet. On this machine, I have two OS guests on VMware Player:

  VM1 - Running Windows Server 2003, in my company intranet

  VM2 - Running CentOS 5, not registered in my company intranet.

  The second of the two is a pre-packaged VM, fully operational to run a complex database system that has been downloaded from the software provider.

  I need to set up the environment such as the VM1, an application can connect to the database running on computer 2.

  For the moment I can do the following with success-

  * Ping the host to VM1 and vice versa

  * Ping the host to VM2 and vice versa

  * Ping to VM1 VM2

  However, I don't do a ping of VM1 VM2.

  Can someone please explain why this is the case? In addition, please suggest me on the best way to get this working environment. I prefer to do the minimum to juggle the VMS as they run important applications. In addition, it is not possible to save VM2 on my intranet, if that would solve the problem.

  Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read and answer.

  EDIT: Just noticed that I am able to access restricted intranet websites through VM2.

  Ahhhh, presto! Easy solution!

  All you need to do is change the 2 virtual computer hardware settings and change the network card.

  RightClick the VM, in settings, then replace the network card of NAT in bridge

  See this screenshot for a Visual:

• Install the new virtual machine as a guest of the installation of boot CD

  Hello

  HOWTO install new virtual machine as a guest of the boot installation CD?

  first of all can I mount the CD drive?

  Best way to do is to download the CD image on your server ESX with WinSCP or FastSCP.

  Connect the cd player to the guest for this ISO image and make sure that the option "Connect to PowerOn" is selected.

  If you hav access your esx host you can also insert the cd in the CD drive, ESX host and connect the guest to the host drive. Check the option "connect to PowerOn.

  Start your virtual machine and it should start from CD.

• Sharing of content between the guest operating system

  Hello

  Y at - it a simple way to share content between operating systems.

  We have invited several BONES that make similar task. Run us simultaneously with the slightly different variant, but basically, most of the files that are needed in each guest operating system are the same.

  What I want to achieve is to build a repository of centralized files accessible across operating systems. I'm running Win7 and WinXP Win2008 OSes on ESXi 5 comments.

  I found this thread, but it is too old.

  http://communities.VMware.com/message/630923#630923

  I'm hoping there have been changes since that thread has been discussed.

  Thank you

  Well, I can't tell you much about the user experience expected without knowing the network load. However, if install you the file server as an another VM on the same host, you will have at least a 1GBit/s connection between the virtual machines.

• How to connect to a virtual machine remotely.

  How to connect from my PC (windows xp) homepage to my PC(windows xp) desktop with a virtual machine.

  I want to connect to this virtual machine from home. How to do this? What are the steps?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  When you configure the virtual computing, r put his network card to use the host adapter.

  In this way, the virtual machine will get the IP address of the router and will basically act as if the Chickadee is an independent computer in the network.

  As long as the host computer and the virtual computer on and don't go to sleep, you can connect to each on its own through the network.

  or on the Internet.

• Unable to connect to MKS: virtual machine configuration file does not exist

  Guys,

  Need a little help I'm running the following

  vCenter Server 4.0.0 (build 208111)

  ESX Server 4.0.0 (build 208167)

  I have a computer virtual running WIndows 2000 Advanced and when I try and open the console I get a black screen and the error message following

  "" Unable to connect to MKS: virtual machine configuration file does not exist '. "

  I scoured the data store and all the files of the virtual machine appear to be in place, I thought deletin the virtual machine from the inventory and add the vmdk file, it would be a good idea?

  Thank you.

  Remove and add new inventory won't hurt (you could lose data historial for virtual machine), it probably won't solve the problem.

  I doubt, it is a problem with the .vmx file, but you can try:

  -Remove the VM of the inventory

  -To create the new virtual machine (with the same characteristics as the virtual machine that you removed), name it differently and do not add hard drives that it

  -Change the new VM settings and add the existing VMDK virtual machine that you deleted

  -Power on VM and try

  • You should always have your complete file to the virtual machine original intact, in case you need, you will always have your original vmx file to add it to the inventory.

  By doing these steps you re-create the vmx file.

• No network connection between the virtual machines on different hosts ESXi

  I have several 5.0 ESXi hosts in a cluster managed by vCenter Server 5 and I have network problems:

  1. [Host A] running a virtual machine can ping any other computer virtual running on the [host A] great!
  2. A virtual machine running on host [B] can ping any other virtual machine running on [B] home - very well!
  3. [host A] (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running on [B] home - even better!
  4. [B] home (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running [host A] - beautiful set!
  5. A virtual machine running [host A] can not ping any virtual computer running on host [B] and vice versa - bad, very bad!

  So basically the problem is that the virtual machines can communicate on hosts. It is a major problem that I need to fix, for obvious reasons.

  Networking on all hosts is configured exactly the same way: a unique and standard vSwitch with a pair of gigabit network cards grouped, vmkernels configured for the vMotion, NFS and network management and a group of ports configured for the VIRTUAL local area network used by the VMs. (vMotion works fine on hosts, storage vMotion works very well too.) All virtual machines are servers Windows (2003 and 2008).

  Reason #3 and #4 above, my assumption is that #5 must be the result of an ESXi/vCenter configuration issue and not a problem with the switches of material upstream. Is this a reasonable assumption?

  Whatever it is, can anyone offer suggestions on how can I fix? It is quite annoying as I'm pretty sure that these hosts are configured in the same manner as those of our production cluster, which does not at all these problems!

  Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

  To be honest, it looks like a problem with your physical network-

  How is the physical network configured - are NIC connects it to the same physical switches? Are the virtual machines on the same subnet? If this is not the case, they are able to ping the gateway sbnet? Can you piing host IP address from the virtual machines?

  I also moved it to a forum more approiate.

• Sharing the drive between several virtual machines

  Hi all

  We have a configuration with a SAN (Dell Compellent) and use vSphere 6 to host a number of Windows servers. We now have a giant machine of Windows with a large number of small files for a particular application.

  Now, we would like to create a cluster with a LoadBalancer in front of him, so that we can handle more load. To do this, we want to create a disk that is shared between 2 (or more) of windows machines.

  One of the problems is that NTFS is not a supported clustered file system. So, I did a lot of research on Google to see what my options are. In my opinion, they are the following:

  1. set up a Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) Microsoft (use SMB if I read the documentation)

  2. the user Windows shares on a separate file server

  3. the user NFS (depreacted under Windows)

  4. switch to Linux and use NFS

  The problem I have, is that they use all the network traffic. For example, option 2 is ridiculous slow. NFS under Linux is also a way slower than the local drive (managed by VMWare iSCSI) disk access and NFS on windows does not appear to be

  support very well.

  I know that there are aware filesystems, clustered as VMFS etc. Is there a way to access it directly from my Windows VM or are there devices SAN which is directly accessible from the virtual Windows machine?

  Or maybe there are other solutions to set up a shared drive?

  I know that there are aware filesystems, clustered as VMFS etc. Is there a way to access it directly from my Windows VM or are there devices SAN which is directly accessible from the virtual Windows machine?

  VMFS is a really clustered file system and allow access of multiple virtual machine the same amount of storage (data store) which is different from that to create a virtual disk (hard) and present to multiple virtual machines. You can do this, BUT the guest virtual machine should take care of several accesses to the hard, for Windows, you must turn on the feature... without this clustering with failover data may be corrupted.

  I think the best and supported solution for you is to create another cluster with Failover Cluster functionality and create a resource sharing files with files that will access your NLB nodes.
