• Difference between the hosts and virtual machines

  Happy new year!

  I guess that's a stupid question, but I don't know the answer to it.

  I created pools from VM. Some jobs in the pool are hosts and some virtual machines. What is the difference between the hosts and virtual machines. I thought I could only create virtual machines, but I guess I could create hosts as well. -What happened?

  Thanks for your help.

  where does say desktops are hosts?  A host is usually referring to an ESXi server.  A virtual machine is just the guest OS running on the host computer.  A pool is a group of VMs that can extend over several hosts.

• Is it posible to allow access between the host and virtal machine without wired network?

  I want to use my laptop to show him that I did in the virtual work to other people at my home.

  However, the laptop is ofen not allowed access to the network in their office.

  Is it posible to allow access between the host and virtal machine without wired network?

  My virtual machine is filled to the physical network adapter and use the static IP address.

  Brad

  Setting of the virtual machine: filled

  Change that to each host only (what Continuum called VMnet1) or NAT (VMnet8).  Both use a separate virtual NETWORK card to connect the physical computer virtual host, independent of any NETWORK adapter on the host.

  ... Since the machine host (win7) could not get IP, ping fail to VM (192.168.1.5)...

  Because the connection between the guest and the host is through a separate NETWORK card, you must use the 'other' IP address.  Access a prompt on the host computer and type IPCONFIG to view the IP address of VMnet1 and VMnet8 NIC.  Then use this IP address instead of 192.168.1.5.

  And when you have changed the network management modes (i.e. of bridged to host-only), Windows does not automatically renew its IP address.  The virtual NETWORK card uses a different subnet if you need to renew your DHCP lease or change your static IP address to work with the new subnet.

• go esxi hosts and virtual machines in one vCenter to another

  I built a new vCenter (Windows vCenter), I intend to move on ESXi hosts the old vCenter (Virtual appliance vCenter) to the new vCenter. I don't know if it's feasible, please notify my step is correct or not: 1) build a new vcenter 2) create a cluster with two esxi hosts first 3) Mount data (NetApp Filer Storage) to the new vCenter warehouses 4) add an empty host for the new vCenter VMs) 5 download then upload to the host in new vcenter

  Hi friend

  Its doable without any problem.

  Please follow the procedure below.

  1 build a new vCenter (your first step is correct)

  2 creating a cluster (because it is new vCenter there will not be any available host.) That is why cluster creation wizard will not get to add in the new cluster host). While initially empty cluster would be created.

  3. once the cluster is created, immediately do a right-click on the cluster and add your hosts one by one. Not necessary to cancel the registration and the VM. Virtual machines will automatically be added who were there on the data store available with all guests.

  Don't forget,

  1. we do not mount any store data in vCenter, we assemble the data store on the host.

  2. If you mount the new data store (which did not exist before), you can mount once the new hosts are added to the new cluster. (Your SAN admin help)

  3. If you want to move your virtual machines from data store before the newly added/mounted data store, please SVMotion these virtual machines (by right-clicking on the VM > migrate > data store > select the data store that is new)... Please follow the same procedure for all virtual machines.

  4. you don't need to add empty hosts to the new cluster, add just as soon as all guests without you register VMs. Later, you can migrate to other store of data according to the requirement. NO need to download or download the VM.

  5. Please make sure that your ESXi hosts will be compatible with the new vCenter. Old version of ESXi always compatible with the new version of vCenter. Just check if you have all valid licenses.

  Please let me know if you need any clarification

• Attempt vSwitch configuration change and now the ESXi host and virtual machines offline

  So I have no doubt, I have myself to blame for this one. I was trying to change my vSwitch from 100 Mbps to 1000 Mbps when an 'operation timed' error out jumps-to the top and my vCenter Server lost connection with my ESXi host. I tried to restart the host manually, but that did not help. The host is not the ping requests and all the virtual machines on that host are offline; None of them vMotion off to my other ESX Server.

  I tried to reconnect the host computer in vCenter, but it is obviously does not connect because it can't ping it. I logged the ESXi console and all the network settings appear to be correct. I'm used to connect to the ESX console where you can execute commands, but it's my first ESXi host, so I don't know what I can do.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  If you had your management port and VMs on different vSwitches / NIC leave on framework would eliminate a false positive. As in your case the management port reportedly follows the cable / about speed, but the virtual machine network would be intact (and I'm assuming that your storage space as well).  In this case the VMs system would have worked very well even if the management port did not work.

• ESXi 4 hosts and virtual machines with domains and different IP addresses

  Hello, I hope someone can shed some light on this problem.

  I have an ESXi host.  It is in the 'AREA A' and has an IP address like 204.75.225.6.

  Is it possible to use the tool VMware P2V Converter some servers that are located in one field other than ESXi host and have different IP addresses?

  Example: VM candidate: in "AREA B" with IP address 192.168.1.56.

  Both domains trust each other.

  Y at - it a tip to configure the network settings on the host to allow that?

  I currently have 2 vSwitches.  One for the management network and the other is for the traffic of the virtual machine.

• Script to collect some statistics on hosts and virtual machines

  I'm trying to accomplish to get the following statistics, put into a script.

  When I run this script, it must be run by "vcenter" and result the following items.

  The cluster name / number of hosts / number of computers models and virtual / assigned the total memory of all the virtual machines on the cluster (not what is actually to be in use)

  Thus, for example, in the XYZ group with 4 guests, if I have 20 MV that I have 4 GB of RAM for each virtual machine, the output should be 80 GB

  XYZ 4 20 80 GB

  I suspect that you forgot the Select at the end in order to recover the amount.

• How to share an IP address between the host and the VM?

  I'm a newbie on VMWare, and I hope that this question has a simple answer... I have a physical machine, I have turned into a VM today and am now running as VM on Workstation 6.5. This physical machine had a static IP address which must remain public, but I can't get a second IP address on the same subnet of the host. How can I get static IP even stay on the virtual machine without attributing an IP address of NIC1 host?

  Or is it possible to assign static IP address to the host NIC1 use somehow fill? That seems still, however, require an IP address on the host and the guest of virtual computer.

  I also looked in NAT, but I do not know how to assign the NAT specifically to NIC1 on the host. I have NIC2 and NIC3 with different IPs on different subnets.

  Thanks in advance.

  So with the bridge, the NIC host does not have an IP address?

  Well the exact answer depends on those needs specific and explicit, but assuming that the physical machine will be connected directly to the Internet and the virtual machine uses a static public IP address then the physical machine may not have a public IP address if the only one you have is assigned to the virtual machine.  This is why I said delete everything except Protocolto Bridged from VMware on the physical target network adapter.

  Yet once if you had included the host and Guest OS operating system information it helps us to be more specific with answers to questions and given that you do not I will generalize and do not take the time to explain all the scenarios possible use cases.  In a case like this one containing explicit and specific local network topology details and that it connects to the Internet may also be useful to provide more explicit and specific answers.

  In addition if you have not already read chapters 14 & 15, covering networking, workstation users manual you should as it will help provide toys better understand virtual network infrastructure.

• ESXi 5.0 servers don't recognize that same NFS share to the same data store

  I have a setup of vSphere 5.0 running VMware Workstation 8.  I have two ESXi servers that are accumulating the same NFS share (with the same IP address and the same directory path), but for some reason, they don't recognize it as the same data store.  I deleted and added to the data store again and checked that I am getting the same way on both nodes.  However, vSphere don't let me use the same name when I ride sharing NFS as a data store on the second node. vSphere changes the name of "NFSdatastore" to "NFSdatastore (1)" and will not let me change, say that the name already exists.

  The NFS file server is a VM of 2.99 OpenFiler, which IP 192.168.0.100 (and is in DNS as "openfiler1").  The path is "/ mnt/vsphere/vcs/datastore.

  The NFS mount works great as a data store on the two servers ESXi, except for the fact that vSphere sees two data stores.  I have a Red Hat VM running on each of them, and when I browse the data of each ESXi Server store, I can definitely see two configs VM, as well as a few ISO images that I put on the NFS share.  However, I can't vMotion as he complains about not being able to access the configuration file and the file virtual disk (vmdk) of the other node.

  On the OpenFiler, the directory/mnt/vsphere/vcs/datastore is the property of "ofguest" in the "ofguest" group, and the permissions are "drwxrwsrwx +".  All files under the directory are also held by "ofguest" in the group "ofguest".  Vmx files have permissions "rwxr-xr-x + ', and the vmdk files have permissions ' rw +-

  I did a lot of Google search, read best practices, etc.  Any help is appreciated.

  UPDATE: he Figured out - leakage / on one of the paths of NFS mounting.  DOH!

• Configure the host and the VM on two separate wireless networks

  Hello community, I was a browser for a long time, but this will be my first post.

  I would like to begin by saying that I have always found the answer I was looking for by browsing these forums and that I browsed discussions thereon and consulted the chapters regarding virtual networks in the manual workstation 7.1, but at this stage were still unable to solve my problem.

  The scenario:

  I'm a small business working in a House (upstairs) / hookah lounge (bottom). We recently had a second internet connection (WORK), Internet home of my family (HOME), to provide our customers with a free wi - fi. I would use the connection of WORK (during our hours of downtime) in a Ubuntu VM for folding and seeding of torrents. I want to put this far on a network traffic will not affect the other.

  The network:

  SE host: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  (Host) NIC: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (Mini PCI)

  VM: Ubuntu 10.04 on VMWare Workstation 7.0.0 build-203739

  NIC (VM): Alfa awus036h (USB)

  
  

  The current configuration:

  Network connection is made, the State of replication physical physical network is unchecked.

  The Alfa is connected to the virtual machine and is no longer present on the list of the network adapters in Windows.

  It seems that I have to manually disable the "auto eth 1" interface or the virtual machine using the internet connection in host rather than the network of your choice that the Alfa connects to in VMWorkstation. The speed of the internet with eth auto 1 is connected is quick and consistent, but using it defeats the purpose. Strangely, when I go to network connections, under the "last use" for "eth 1 auto ' it is said 'never '.

  When "eth 1 car" is disconnected, it seems that the virtual machine uses the network wireless connected to the Alfa. But the internet speed is very slow and inconsistent. On downloads, the speed varies considerably; Also, it remains at 0 kb/s for a while before going to 80 KB/s, then works his way down to 0 kb/s again.

  Possible solutions:

  1. it's a driver problem for the Alfa inside the VM environment all this time?

  2 just misunderstood how to set up this kind of virtual network?

  3 is it possible to get the desired configuration by filling the WORK and VMnet0/1/8?

  * Note: Only VMnet1 and VMnet8 appear on the Windows network connections, however isn't VMnet0 bridged one responsible for networking?

  4. upgrade to the current version of the desktop would be useful?

  5. do this problem originally because of some settings on the router?

  * Note: The AP is close enough to provide a signal strength of 85-90%

  Sorry to be so talkative, I just wanted to be as clear as possible because I'm still a beginner to learn more about virtualization.

  Thank you in advance, as always, your help is greatly appreciated.

  First of all, I must say that when I did this last response, I've been on my Mac and I thought the configuration of a host of Windows XP however outside the nomenclature of the names of the host network settings dialog box the rest stands as it is on a host Windows 7 as described below, including a picture as an attachment.

  On a Windows 7 x 64 host with two network adapters, each on a different subnet and VMware Workstation 7.1.3 installed with the editor of virtual computer network configured for VMnet0 and VMnet2 jumpered separately to one of the host of NIC and I have not changed the settings for Windows 7 host NIC-1 and have network/Internet connectivity to the host of this NETWORK adapter as shown in the picture of Google in Internet Explorer on the host computer.  In VMware Workstation 7.1.3 I have a Linux Guest configured to use VMnet2, which is filled in the settings and the Windows 7 host NIC-2 have all with the exception of VMware Bridge Protocol unchecked and have network/Internet connectivity in the guest as indicated by Google in a browser.

  From the perspective of connectivity network between the host and the guest by NIC - 2 on the host computer when all with the exception of VMware Bridge Protocol unchecked there is no connectivity between the two on this subnet because there are no protocol at stake to allow the conversation to take place.

  So theoretically and in practice what I said previously, but didn't were not expressly with a Windows 7 host in mind, nevertheless what I said is true and accurate, as evidenced by world real test/use by what I said and with the image attached herein.

  FWIW Windows 7 has been configured with the default settings and the only changes to the host's network were those made during the installation of VMware Workstation 7.1.3 so with the configuration I discussed with the attached picture, there is no reason why the host and the guest cannot be on different physical networks and each network/Internet connectivity based on the information I have provided and they be isolated from each other by being on separate physical networks.

  That said, even if they can be isolated by being on separate physical networks can still can connectivity between the 2 through VMware shared folders it it turned on and of course & slide and other services so if absolute isolation is necessary to the point where it can be, and the guest still operating system run on a Virtual Machine in the host you would need to disable the Backdoor for VMware Tools cannot provide shared folders on VMware, & glide and other services.  So if you need this isolation level let me know and I will provide additional information to complete it.

• How to disable the sharing of files between the host and guest XP PRO?

  Hello my setup is:

  Host of XP PRO and XP PRO comments using NAT.

  How to disable file sharing between the host and guest (do not want to view or access the file share on host comments)?

  In the comments

  I tried to disable simple file sharing in folder options and uninstall

  File sharing and printing of LAN properties but can always see and have access to the

  Organizing actions of folder...

  Help please!

  Then you will need to disable "Microsoft File and Printer sharing" or you need to set restrictions with the GPO. As long as the systems have their default values the value of a Microsoft network allows to use actions.

• Possible to have the physical and virtual units of ESA in the same group?

  Given the scarcity of available information about virtual appliances, anyone have any ideas if it is possible to run a physical C160 and a C300V running the same version of ASyncOS in the same cluster.  I need to migrate from physical to virtual and has been evalualting the possbilty of the migration to the C300V from the C160 by adding a C300V to a cluster and then decommissioning the C160.

  Someone know about this?

  Thank you

  Nathan-

  Yes.  You can, as long as the appliance and virtual appliance running the same AsyncOS.  The "clusterconfig" command will work in the same exact way.  You need to just make sure that your C300V has the featurekeys loaded in order to run the cluster.

• Workstation 9 - slow network performance between the host and guest

  I am running windows 8 on the host and installed by 9 trial. Then installed windows 8.1 as a comment system.

  I'm a slow, very slow network between the two.

  If I send files to and from the computer with another guest, transfers are normal, but if I try the same files between the host and the guest, they are really slow.

  I use a bridge connection.

  I read elseware to disable the following on the guest card:

  Large Send Offload v2 (IPv4)

  Large Send Offload v2 (IPv6)

  But that did not help.

  Thoughts?

  Maybe then try Hyper-v, it help you better.
