• How to configure server DHCP of VMware Server 2 to play nice on my network?

  I have 8 physical systems running on a network.

  A system running VMware Server 2 on it.

  Server DHCP of Server2 provides virtual machines with IPs on the 192.168.106 network and they all work fine, all virtual machines find each other and physical systems too.

  My wireless router is a DHCP server which provides boxes of physical IPs on the 192.168.2 network and works very well between physical systems.

  The problem occurs when a physical systems trying to access a virtual machine.

  All virtual machines are set to run in NAT mode, I tried no succcess one either bridged mode.

  The VMs system static IPs on the 192.168.2 network also fails miserably as all of my attempts to set masks subnet on all systems.

  I think I need to 'fix' the VMware Server 2 DHCP server, but have not yet find data on this topic, and I'm not sure that if I do this will help.

  Any solution here would be FANTASTIC.

  Past esxi was not really going to do this I feel even if you have not installed - it is really intended for high-end package rather than SATA based servers while sort will work on some.

  Their reason to exceed the NAT is filled? If you want to that virtual machines at all simply appear as regular machines on your existing subnet then packed is the easiest way to go because virtual machines must be able to obtain their IP addresses of your router, as well as physical boxes. DHCP server 2.0 is just for the NAT and host only networking that it manages-for machines virtual NAT, you must configure the port forwarding on the host server 2.0 for all the traffic you want to enter in the virtual machines from the outside since by default, all incoming ports are blocked, appropriately with NAT, see Chapter 11 of the user guide - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf

  So, if you want to go to bridge, we need to understand why this does not work as it should be "out of the box" as long as there is no any firewall host or other security software, for example the clients VPN, which will block traffic. What is the host operating system? Please post ipconfig/all or ifconfig - an output of the host and the guest. How have you configured in bridge network - using the default settings? Virtual machines get an IP address from your router?

• Configure a virtual firewall VMWare Server 2

  Hello

  I'm configuring a virtual machine which will act as a firewall ISA Server. The machine is now running on a physical machine. I used VMWare Converter to change it to a virtual machine. However, I am unable to set up the configuration of the network. For after this post: http://www.cs.drexel.edu/~vp/VirtualFirewall/ I should create a network invited only to the internal network and a connection open in the external network.

  This last little is where the problems come. The external network has a mask of 255.255.255.252 network, so I have only 2 IP address in the network: 1 the host machine and the other is for the default gateway. Implementation of bridged networks is therefore not an option. I tried setting up guest network only on the external interface, but then VMWare server is unbootable. (The DCHP server on/dev/vmet1 does not start).

  Operation of the machine I have RHEL 5 host OS. It has 2 physical NIC, 1 connected to the internal network and externally 1. Is there perhaps a way to Server2 VM I can ask the network adapter connected to the external network exclusively for this virtual machine? Or is there maybe a better way to implement?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  You can use fill or NAT if you need to communicate outside the host. You cannot configure 'host-only' on the physical map, because this isn't 'host-only' more.

  If you cannot use open due to lack of IP addresses (as a virtual bridged interface needs its own IP address) you can use NAT. In this case, the host acts as a NAT proxy to the client (your firewall). To the outside world only the IP address of the will be visible. The customer will receive an IP address from the VMnet8 virtual network (if you are using DHCP, you can use a static IP address in the range of addresses network IP VMnet8).

  But you must forward packets to the port prompt if there is no communication initiated from the outside at the prompt.

• configuration network on VMWare server 2

  Hello

  I installed Vmware server 2 on my server (WIN2k3 with nic 2s because my server have a role of routing). A NIC is set up for INTERNET and other NIC is set to INTRNET.

  the configuration of my INTRANET is on class C IP:192.168.99.XX, SM: 255.255.255.0. I create a virtual Instalation with UBUNTU 8.10 Server... I installed UBUNTU with no problem and without error, but without internet access because I don't know what ip and network configurations I should do on virtual NIC (Vmnet1 and Vmnet8) and which configurations should I do ifconfig on UBUNTU (IP, SM, gateway, DNS)

  can someone help me?

  Thank you.

  Depends on...

  I'll explain what these networks and you can find what you need:

  1 bridged (VMnet0)

  If the virtual NIC (vNIC) is fulfilled, the guest takes part like any other host on the network. It needs its own IP address corresponding to the IP network to which it is filled.

  2 host-only (VMnet1)

  It is a network isolated between the host and the guests. No outside communication.

  3 NAT (VMnet8)

  When you use this type the host acts as a proxy routing with address masquerading. This means that all packets send by the client appears to come from the host to the outside world. You can hide your comments like that.

  What physical adapters is used to fill can be configured. The default value is one automatically chosen NIC jumpered to VMnet0. You can create a custom network (say VMnet2) and he a teddy bear additional bridge.

  Networks VMnet1 and VMnet8 can be served by the DHCP of VMware Server, so if you use this type of vNIC and you configure the IP address in the guest to use DHCP, you're fine.

  Don't forget to use a firewall at least on the vNIC which can face outside if you use bridged or NAT to connect to the Internet!

• Can standby database configured on VMWare Server or not?

  Hi all
  
  
  Is it possible that our main server is not on the vmware server, but standby server can be configured on the server of VMWare?
  
  As far as I know, configuration of both server should be same.
  
  If our main server is not on the Vmware server but waiting for database configured on Vmware server, going to work or not.
  
  Pls suggest me...
  
  And another thing is that is it necessary to have a dedicated connection b/w primary and standby server for RFS process.
  
  pls suggest me...

  Hi again!

  That's right for your main server, but if you need to pass / failover to the standby DB on VM-Ware could you have performance problems.

• How to refine the configuration of Vmware server on windows host

  Hello

  can someone explain how to refine the Vmware host windows server edition?

  Hello

  First, you decide what you want to use the VMWARE server.

  If you want to use vmware server for only to keep the plane comments at end of test system administartion, during the installation of VMware server you will need to customize your installation.

  In the Customize installation disable the Modules Perl script which are used for development purposes, after installing the server, go to services & disable services unwanted, assume that you use no DHCP & NAT, then disable these services. In doing so, it will save the memory & performance increase of you host mechine.

  When you create your mechine comments try to reduce unwanted devices, how to remove the floppy drive if you don't want to use in the mechine comments. like this, try to reduce the additional devices you use rarely, if you're runnin server edition comments mechines, then try to reduce you is display resolution, which will give a good performance.

  Kind regards

• VMware Server 2.0 CIFS data store bug?

  I posted this problem a few weeks ago, but I still can't solve, then I write it again with new information on the problem. I think it could be a bug in VMware Serever but I am not certain about it.

  I use VMware server 2.0.2 (b203138) with a Windows 7 Ultimate x 86 as vmware server host and configuration of the NAS data store. The data store hosts all virtual machines, including the ones configuration files, and it's a shared folder located in a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x 86 SP2. The network mode working group, not in mode active directory.

  Symptoms of the problem:

  • If you stop or restart the host server, when it is once again the CFS data store is unusable and VMS are inaccessible, even if all of them were arrested at the time of the restart.

  • The option to update the data store does not solve anything.

  • If the NAS data store is deleted and recreated from scratch, the machines are still not accessible. It is also necessary to remove and re-add the VMs.

  • If you only reboot the VMware services then you lose not the NAS data store or virtual machines.

  • If you only reboot the NAS then also you don't waste either the data store, or virtual machines, although they were in operation when you rebooted the NAS; the same happens if you stop communication network between the host server and the NAS.

  • A delay in starting services VMware does not solve anything.

  • I tried the start VMware services in manual mode, to be sure that there is full access to the NAS before starting the service, but VMware is still losing the NAS data store and virtual machines, this isn't a problem with permissions to access the network or network connectivity.

  Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

  This applies to all the BONES that I know. VMWare server 2.x just keeps the security attributes for authenticated access to CIFS shares underlying network based data stores you set.

  I see some information that it's actually worked in server 1.x version, but I can only confirm.

  I don't know if it is a bug or by design since this behavior has persisted through several versions 2.x, it can be design to users of reader for commercial versions.

  Good luck

• To hardware Version 7 computers virtual in VMWare Server 2.0.2 ESXi 5

  Hello world

  Taking his retirement from 2 host vmware server computers.  They run Server 2008 64 with VMWare server 2.0.2.  Each host has 3 VMs Windows, 6 in total, all configured with Hardware Version 7

  The plan is to set up a new host running ESXi 5.  Install, configure and ready for deployment.  After you have configured the data stores, I want to spend my VMs the 2 old servers a new box of ESXi 5.

  I'll copy all virtual machines from the old servers to individual folders on my Windows 7 Desktop and use the vSphere client to load the virtual machines on new data stores.

  I read that ESXi 5 can read Version 7 VMs.  Does this mean I can use the virtual machine as is, or still need to convert the hard?  I would like to convert them before their download?  I'm a little gray in this area...

  Can you get it someone more experienced please let me know the step by step... or a link to a good "how to" I would really appreciate it.

  Thank you

  There is nothing for you. VMware Converter takes care of this. It will not only increase the size of the disc, but also the size of the partition.

• updated images of VMware Server to use in ESXI server

  Hello

  I just have a lot of virtual machines that has been configured and used by vmware server 1. Now, I'll use ESXI server, when I downloaded the images to the esxi server and tried to run, I had a mistake in VMDK. Is it possible for me to change VMDK and use these old images or I need to reconstruct images from scracth. also, is there any availbale tool to update my old images to use ESXI?

  Thank you

  ESXi does not support the scattered disk format used by VMware Server by default. What you can do is to follow the recommendations of weinstein5and use VMware Converter or convert the hard file in a supported format (zeroedthick, eagerzeroedthick or thin) using the vmkfstools in ESXi command line tool.

  Assuming that the virtual disk has no snapshots, you can follow these steps in order to maintain the virtual disk file name.

  • create a 'old' subfolder in the folder of the VM on the ESXi host and move the hard files in this folder
  • Basic virtual machine folder run for example vmksftools old-i /hard-d thin vmname.vmdk
  • If the virtual machine lights without problem, you can remove the "old" subdirectory

• Installing the server on VMware server ESXi

  Hello

  Im trying to install esxi iso file in a VMware Server (in my laptop with 4 GB and windows 7 prof). I have created a virtual machine and tried to proceed with the installation. Initial measures follows and ends with Esc - repair-installation of the screen. In this screen im not control keystrokes at the keyboard and mouse n and cannot go any further. I found in the net that this method will work for purposes of practice. Can someone help me. ?

  Hello Pjo

  For your question, I understand what you are trying to install ESXi on your laptop to test / learning object. I also suppose that you try ESXi 4. ESXi 4 requires 64-bit processor. Your laptop should also support virtualization. To make sure that your laptop supports virtualization, go to configuration and find what is called VT and then activate it if it is not yet enabled.

  Once you have completed step abvoe, download & install the latest version of VMWare Workstation. Then create a new virtual machine, assign them to less than 2 GB of RAM, and then try again to install ESXi 4.

  I believe that this will help you to start with. If you have any other questions feel free to write back to me. And if you think that this answer is correct, please mark correct. If in case it is not correct, but has been useful so mark has useful

• Oracle listener does not not on vmware server 2 guest OS Centos

  I write here because I think that this problem can be related to my network on the host vmware server setup 2 OS.
  I installed Oracle 11.2.0.1 on Centos 5.5 64 bits in a guest VM with a Windows 7 64 host OS. The Centos operating system runs well and the Oracle database that I created works fine locally (i.e. from a terminal in the vmware console or telnet/SSH window). The networking of virtual computer is set to bridged and I can ping the VM or ssh on the virtual machine to any other machine on the network.  However, I manage to tnsping database from any other machine on the network. When I try to tnsping from windows (with the input of appropriate tnsname) machine, I get a TNS-12541: TNS: no listener. When I try to tnsping from another Linux environment (with the appropriate tnsnames entry), I get the following:

  Here's my tnsnames entry in the linux environment from which I will carry out the tnsping (192.168.1.74 is certainly the IP address):

  I copied the file listener.ora to a similar environment that works correctly, stop and then restart the listener, checked my repeatedly tnsnames entries etc. I wonder if the problem may be related to the fact that this environment runs in a virtual machine. Maybe some special network configurations are required for the NIC VM - I solved many problems of sqlnet over the years, but it baffled me. Any help is very appreciated.
