• It is possible to create an interface between the host and the VM

  It is possible to create a virtual switch between esxi host and a virtual machine.  I know that technically I can get to the esxi host for the virtual machine in the virtual machine network and back into the host esxi during the port of the kernel.  But we wonder if it is possible to have a private network setup so that the VM guest can talk directly to the shell host secure without leaving the network?

  Yes you can - create a virtual with a vmkernel port and a port of the VM of the group as long as they are on the same segment that traffic will not leave the ESX host

• Disable communication between the host and the virtual machine

  I have VM Server 2.0 and one of the virtual machines has the same name as the server and even if the virtual computer is connected to the host only network it generates the Windows error message: duplicate names exist on the network.

  is there a way to disable communication between the host and the virtual machines? I just need a virtual network that is isolated from my network complete and host also.

  Thank you.

  The GUI Server2 is not to choose the other unused vmnets.  Then edit your file VMX use a different vmnet of 0, 1 or 8.  (which are bridged, host-only and NAT)

  Thus, for example, if your VMX has a line that says:

  Ethernet0.VNET = "VMNet0.

  change to:

  Ethernet0.VNET = "VMNet2.

  (This assumes that you have not used the network Editor to fill the vmnet2 either).

• 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.

• 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?

  VMware player

  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.

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

• Storage vMotion issue License - license of moving between ESX Hosts 4.1?

  I have a question about Storage vMotion with ESX 4.1 license.

  One of my environments ESX 3.5 existing consists of 10 ESX 3.5 hosts - 8 ESX 3.5 servers Standard and 2 ESX 3.5 Enterprise servers.  I use a centralized license server (I think that's the correct term).

  I found that I can "move" the vMotion (and vMotion) Storage capacity of two of my 10 servers that only two of them are enabled for vMotion, both.  I do this by topic under VI Client-> select the host ESX-> Configuration-> network-> properties-> VMkernel-> Edit-> toggle the box "VMotion" activated-> OK.   I guess that by doing this, that I'm actually just spend my licenses 'ESX Enterprise' between the hosts.

  Be able to run Storage vMotion on one or two guests at a time is a lot for a few times a year I need to reconfigure my back-end storage.

  Two Questions:

  1. this use is technically legal in a perspective of VMware licenses?

  2. now, I'm looking to upgrade to ESX 4.1 and wonder if I'll be able to keep doing this?  I have read that ESX 4.x got rid of the centralized server license model, so not sure if I could 'move' licenses around like that... In fact since vMotion is now included in Standard Edition, I guess I could 'pull out' through a license only one ESX Enterprise server in order to obtain the license of storage vMotion.

  I let my support/subscription lapse for as long it is cheaper to purchase new licenses rather than paying for support costs with retroactive effect on my existing licenses.   The price difference between Standard and Enterprise is large (3 times the cost) that I don't think I can swing is business licenses for all of my guests past the bean counters, where the reason for this post.

  Reflections and comments?

  Each host has a license key number. You can apply a new license key to a host, and it is immediately activated. I guess you would be technically violate licensing for seconds as a license number was recorded at two hosts. There is a place in the vSphere client to "assign a new license key to this host. When a license key has been assigned, it remains as a choice, then you can simply choose the functionality licensed one and below the other.

• LabView RT versionconflict between the host and target

  Hello everyone,

  for my diploma, I work with a compact system in rio (cRIO-9074) with two I/O-modules. After some research, I created a small project which includes an fpga - and a host vi. I wanted to test my project, so I've compiled the fpga vi and you want to run the host-vi. But then I got an error that said that the versions of the software LabView real-time between the host PC and target (is the cRIO-controller meant?) are different.

  As a solution, I was told to check versions and reinstall the software Real Time using MAX. Now my problem is that I don't know where I can check the version and/or how I can solve the problem to get the project running.

  I added the errorwindow (in German) as an attachment.

  I hope you can help me.

  Better subject.

  MAX is measurement and Automation explore National Instruments.  Open, then expand "remote systems".  You should see your cRIO system.  Expand and you will see 'software' in the list.  Right-click on it and choose to install the software.  That will open a window that will allow you to select what software and what version to install on the cRIO.  Install the version of LabVIEW that matches the one that you use for development.

• Difficulty ping between the hosts and guests

  Hello

  I want to establish network connectivity between my host OS (XPsp3) and my guests (CentOS5.5 and Windows 7).

  So far, I can ping between guests, but not between host and guest, or comments to the host.  When I try, I get a message "destination host unreachable".

  When I configured my virtual machines in a first time, I put them to 'Host-Only' and I need to keep it like that for the purpose of what I do with them - which is the problem?

• VMPlayer newbie - switch back and forth between the host and the guest operating system

  I am newbie to VMPlayer. I just installed VMPlayer 3.0.0 build-203739 on Red Hat Linux 5 (host). Then I created a VM comments Kubuntu (8.10). So far so good. In the VMPlayer window, I selected 'play Virtual Machine '. After this, the host operating system controls disappeared and I could see a taskbar on the top of my screen and I could also see Kubuntu startup (in an area of the small window in the center of the screen). The problem I'm running is that I'm not able to navigate outside of this area of the small window. I'm not even able to click/Select the taskbar of VMPlayer top of the screen. The mouse movement is limited to the area of the small window. How to and fro my host and the guest operating system? Is there a key combination? I finally had to stop my VM guest to return to the control of my host system. I guess it's a problem quite newbie that I am running. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello, welcome to the forum

  Host Windows to switch between comments and the OS (when you are in the guest operating system), you must use ctrl + alt.

  According to this link , it's the same thing in Linux host too.

  >Default VMware Player uses key combination Ctrl + Alt to jump out of the guest. Then CTRLAltdel is accessible via theAltInsert command. If you find this annoying, you can change the jump shortcut to CtrlAltshift by adding the following lines to your ~/.vmware/preferences:

  > pref.hotkey.shift = "true".

  > pref.hotkey.control = "true".

  > pref.hotkey.alt = "true".

  After your installation OS in the virtual machine, install "VMware Tools" on it so you will get better performance and some improvements (like moving your mouse out of guest to your host operating system operating system and Vice Versa, or be able to copy beyond host/guest, better resolution on reviews and...)

  I hope it helps a bit.

• The ESX host and 64-bit

  Hello

  I am developing an ESX solution, and because of the budget and space constrants just gave me a single server.  I installed ESX 4.0 on this server, and then I created virtual machines that have become the ESX 3.5 servers.  I was able to raise virtual machines to power and run in the nested virtual machines.  My problem is, now I'm developing a solution ESX 4.0, but we use Windows 2008 64bi.  Does anyone know how to get a host internal 64-bit to be able to run on an ESX 4.0 host externally.

  Here is a small representation of the environment:

  Physical box ESX 4.0

  -Virtual Server ESX 4.0

  -Nested virtual Windows 2008 64 bit server

  Does anyone know how to get the 64-bit of Windows 2008 Server to run on virtual server ESX 4.0.  I've already activated VT on ESX 4.0 virtual settings, but I can't find a place in the Virtual Machine BIOS to enable VT any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Post edited by: Kirizan to add tags

  Post edited by: Kirizan to the difficulty of setting in the form

  Material assistance (VT) is not virtualized.  Thus, nested virtual machines cannot be 64-bit and is the reason why you don't see VT options in the BIOS of the virtual machine .

  If I read you correctly, you have ESX4 installed on bare metal and you have ESX 3.5 VMs.  Now that you are trying to create a virtual machine in 64-bit Windows.  You can create them in the ESX 3.5 environment.  You must create a virtual ESX4 machine.  (IOW, not nested).

  In addition, after you enable VT in physical BIOS, you must turn off the physical machine.  (Not just restart.  (Power off).

  No, you don't not need another license for Convertter as long as you use an instance of mono converter - also be warned converter on the WAN will take some time.

• Setting up iSCSI between ESXi host and MD3000i, firewall Option missing

  I try to configure the iSCSI access and the MD3000i manual head to the firewall option in VI Client.  However, when I go to Configuration - & gt; Profile of security - & gt;  the option firewall appears briefly and disappears?

  I'm having problems to recognize the iSCSI host table and I think that this may be due to the firewall.

  Hello

  I believe that in the latest versions of ESX (3.5u3 for sure), 3260/tcp port (you need for iSCSI) is automatically opened when you turn on the iSCSI (iSCSI software that is).

  You should choose abe to connect using the VI client, click the host in question and select the 'configuration' tab and then the item "security profile. Who should be open all ports.

  Remember that when you use iSCSI, you must as well a VMkernel port and connection of console in your LAN IP storage space. If two IPs per ESX host. The Console launches the iSCSI link, the VMkernel carries the iSCSI connection data.

  EDIT: Sorry, only now I noticed that you are using ESXi. In this case, you won't need a port Console service (because ESXi has one)
