• Assign a physical NETWORK adapter to the virtual machine

  Hey everybody,

  I did some research, but found answers to Linux and not Windows. Here's my situation:

  I'm running a physical machine with Dual Gigabit Lan and Windows 7 Pro. I would like to have all my virtual machines that I run under VmWare Workstation 6.5.3 using the 2nd physical NETWORK adapter on the mpotherboard. Is this possible? How do I? Thank you.

  Hello

  You can specify in the virtual network Editor (Edit toolbar option)

  See the attached picture.

  If you can't change that... go to the previous "self-link" tab and uncheck the box

• Assign an individual ethernet NETWORK adapter to a virtual machine

  Hi all

  We wish you a new year filled with joy and happiness.

  I just install ESX 4.1.0 and vsphere 4.1.0.

  I have a couple of additional NIC cards available in the ESX Server. I would like to assign to each VM.

  I have configured the virtual switch as "vswitch0" and all additional NIC cards appear on this switch. But I couldn't find a way to permanently assign a NETWORK adapter to a virtual machine specific.

  I have 3 NICs and I intend to have 3 VM.

  Anyone can guide me please.

  Thank you

  Krishna

  An option is to create 3 virtual machine port groups and assign each virtual machine to one of them. In the configuration of the port group, set a NIC to 'Active' and the other two to 'Sleep'. In this way each VM uses a dedicated NETWORK card and - failure - switches to one of the others.

• Dedicated network adapter to the virtual machine and the host computer not let can visit his profile

  OK, here's my question, I know how to give themselves a phyiscal nic to a vmware, but I wanted to take it one step further and do not leave the host send or receive data from this network card, only the virtual machine can use this network/NIC...

  Here's my reasoning, I have to network conections, one is for my internal/field network and the second is a direct connection to the internet (Comcast) I don't want to use to separate the machines have for internet connection, I want to be on the same machine phyiscal and have just the vmware machine talking to comcast... is it possible?  I am running VMware workstation 7, last update.

  Thank you

  I assume you are using a Windows host?

  If Yes...

  -first set up networking networking with vmnetcfg.exe

  -assign vmnet0 to the network card for the internal network

  -assign vmnet2 to the network card used for direct access to the internet

  -Right-click on the map network-icon in the systray and access the properties of the network adapter for vmnet2

  -Disable all other protocols and the Protocol of vmware_bridge for this network adapter

  result: a virtual machine that uses vmnet2 can directly access the internet and the host has no IP address for this network adapter - and therefore cannot use it.

• Disable the network interface on a virtual machine

  Hello all-

  Is there a way to disable the network interface on the network adapter in the virtual machine?  We have a group of applications who want to simulate a network in collaboration with MSCS failure - I don't necessarily agree with the fact that this type of test, but try to determine if this is possible from the functional point of view.

  Our ESX host have networks of virtual machine set up off the coast of 4 port nic mezzanine card, and I don't want to touch the VM network vswitch as any part of this test.

  Thanks for any help you can provide-

  Steve

  Is there a way to disable the network interface on the network adapter in the virtual machine?

  Yes, in the virtual machine settings, for each NIC assigned to the virtual machine you will find a checkbox 'connected '. Unchecking it's like pulling the network cable.

• Two virtual machines share the same physical network adapter

  I have a virtual network adapter that I linked to a physical network adapter on my box where two virtual machines are running.

  I assigned two virtual machines to this vmnet adapter.

  On one I can ping other machines of physics on the same subnet as the physical computer, but the other VM can ping only other virtual machines.

  When I try to ping from one physical computer to this virtual machine I get the error message windows "ping transmission has failed. General failure. ».

  Is what I'm trying to are not not possible?

  First thing to do is to ensure the automatic bypass is enabled disabled in the VMnet virtual network editor your use to the bridge to.

  Second need to see the output of ipconfig/all on the Windows host and guests and or ifconfig on the Linux host and or guests.

  DO NOT copy and paste the output directly in the body of the response rather redirect the output of the commands in a text file and then archive (compress) files in a single zip archive and attach it to an answer.

  You can use the following example:

  Under Windows:

  ipconfig/all > "% USERPROFILE%\Desktop\host_ipconfig.txt".

  ipconfig/all > "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\guest (n) _ipconfig.txt".

  Linux:

  ifconfig > ~/Desktop/host_ipconfig.txt

  ifconfig > ~/Desktop/guest (n) _ipconfig.txt

  Also include in the archive .zip .vmx and vmware*.log for two Virtual Machines configuration files.

• How can I type of NETWORK adapter in the virtual computer a vCloud?

  I'm trying to write a script that compares the type of NETWORK card in vCloud NIC type in vCenter to work around a bug in vCloud 1.5.  I can get the type of NETWORK adapter in the virtual computer a vCenter by getting the vCenter VM up and running:

  
  

  $vcvm | Get-NetworkAdapter | FT-auto
  Name Type NetworkName MacAddress WakeOnLanEnabled
  ----              ----           ----------- ----------        ----------------
  Network adapter 1 isolated EnhancedVmxnet 00:50:56:01:00:33 True

  I use VMware vSphere PowerCLI 5.1 Release 1 build 793510

  I could tell you where to find it, but there is a bug in the API that shows only as PCNET32 anyway (sleep if she could be VMXNET3). Keep doing what you're doing with the database query.

  See you soon,.

• Try to change several network adapters on a virtual machine

  Here's what I have to change several virtual machines with an adapter:

  $test5 = import-Csv C:\test5.csv

  {foreach ($vm to $test5)

  $server = $vm.name

  $networkname = $vm.networkname

  Write-host "Changing $server to the new $networkname network.

  Get - VM $server | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - networkname $networkname - confirm: $false

  # #Start Server

  Write-Host "Made from $server"

  Start-VM $server - confirm: $false

  Write-Host "complete!"

  }

  It looks like a spreadsheet with the name of a column and networkname in the other and sets the adapter accordingly.  It works so much that there is only one network adapter to set... for example if there is a virtual machine with vlan1 for 3 network cards on a virtual machine, it will define all 3 cards to the vlan 1, but if a network card is different from vlan 1 it will fail.  How to fix a vm with multiple NICs?  I tried to separate them by a comma, but he doesn't like it.  Any ideas?

  You can add additional columns in your CSV file.

  Something like that

  Name, NetworkName1, NetworkName2, NetworkName3

  VM1, net1, net2 net3

  VM2, net1, net1 net1

  Then, you can change the code something like this

  $test5 = import-Csv C:\test5.csv

  {foreach ($vm to $test5)

  $server = $vm.name

  Get - VM $server | Get-NetworkAdapter | %{

  if($_.) {Name - eq '1 network card')}

  Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkAdapter $_ - NetworkName $vm.networkname1 - confirm: $false

  }

  ElseIf ($_.) {Name - eq "Adapter 2")}

  Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkAdapter $_ - NetworkName $vm.networkname2 - confirm: $false

  }

  ElseIf ($_.) {Name - eq "3 network adapter")}

  Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkAdapter $_ - NetworkName $vm.networkname3 - confirm: $false

  }

  }

  Write-host "Changing $server to the new $networkname network.

  # #Start Server

  Write-Host "Made from $server"

  Start-VM $server - confirm: $false

  Write-Host "complete!"

  }

• 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.

• Trying to count the number of network adapters on the virtual machines

  Hi all

  Have tried to create a script to simply count the number of network adapters in a virtual machine? In all honesty, don't have a clue where to start? I don't know there are a number of 'ownership' but can't seem to figure out how I can integrate this counting cards network

  Thank you very MUCH in advance

  Munster

  Try this way

  $vms = Get-VM
  
  foreach ($vm in $vms)
  {
       $vm | Select @{N = "VMName"; E = {$vm.name} },
            @{N = "VMNICCount"; E = {$vm.Networkadapters.count} }
  }
  

  Inside of the foreach loop, you select in each $vm name and County NIC.

• How can I force a virtual computer to use a specific physical network adapter in a system with 2 network cards?

  I have a host with 2 network cards system.   I have a NETWORK card for the host computer to connect to my domain.  I have a virtual machine that is a deployment server Windows running Windows 2008 server.   The second NIC is to come and turn off the host machine and will then go to a CIsco 3550.   I need the server VM to use deployment only the second NETWORK card and does not communicate the 1st network card that the host uses.

  Can someone please help?  I'm new to VMware.   The original virtual machine on an esx server and was then converted to VMware server 2.

  Yes, just run the network on this host Editor as well.

• How to change the NETWORK adapter to a virtual server of perticular

  Dear all Hello,.

  I'm new to update3 esx 3.5 I added a VM to esx and figured out that the Vserver cannot ping desktop

  Finally, I thought that the virtual network adapter uses the second NIC in the physical server that is not connected,

  How can I change the NETWORK card to use the appropriate injector?

  Kind regards.

  Welcome to the Forum - the way the easiest is to use the VI Client.  See page 61 of the quick start guide - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_quickstart.pdf

• ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error. Virtual MACHINE works on old MBP and Win7 but not on new MBP [mid 2015 retina], speed or network problem?

  We strive to use our VM on the new retina MBP (mid-2015) with MacOS X 10.11 (El Capitan) but we had a problem starting from Oracle. If we first converted our ESX VM but once on the Mac laptop Oracle (v12.1.0.1.0 on WIN2012R2) does not open the database, error;

  ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

  Does not change us any setting on the virtual machine itself so services work fine. Network has set the IP with host only. Tried with Fusion 7.1 & Fusion 8.0.2 new Mac with nothing doesn't. Also with the different versions of the VM tools. Tried to remove the NIC in Fusion and recreate, don't sucses.

  Funny enough the same virtual machine starts fine on PC (workstation 10.3.0 & Win7), MBP beginning 2011 (Fusion 7 & Mac 10.10) or ESX itself for Oracle opens the database!

  That's why we think in the direction of the new MBP specific? speed or network issue? Ring the bells?

  
  

  Help appreciated!

  Bottom line, this is a problem of Oracle who dislikes the MBP on a virtual machine.

  for reference;

  Virtual MACHINE works very well on all platforms, but not on the latest MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inch, mid-2015). So, when you try to use sqlplus you might get the error that there is no such thing as SID. Earphone works very well, but the DB process does not record with earphone or work correctly also. But the process is running and a SID tnsping returns an OK. This isn't a problem of configuration Oracle as the VM and DB works well from the moment where you run the virtual machine on a PC or an old MBP. Either way, Virtualbox has the same problem so not a problem of Fusion.

  I will record a deal with Oracle but I doubt that it is corrected.

• Change an IP address on a physical NETWORK adapter

  Hello world

  I'm the first time here a pretty unexperienced with VMWare.

  I installed a machine with 4 NICs physikal. Two cards network is use for the user communication on the local network and they get IP addresses from the DHCP server. A NETWORK card, I need for external communication. This NIC is connected to a firewall (with integrated router) outside the network and there is no DHCP running. That's why I need to set the IP address for this NETWORK card static.

  I can't find the command or button to set the IP address for this network adapter. This question may be stupid, but I'm just hanging for several hours on this problem.

  Any help and the comment is {color: #000000} enjoyed {color}.

  Kind regards

  Michael

  If you want to use vmnic3 for traffic VM - Yes. You can install Windows 2008 and set it to 192.168.100.4.

• Convert a physical Wins Server in a virtual machine for redundancy

  Hello world

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  We have just set up an emergency operations center and run thrus by an optical fiber (so, technically, it's the same network but with some redundant internet). And we would like to set up the servers to replicate all the production servers (wins, sql, apps... etc) at end of failover/redundancy. The best is to reproduce in live all the time... but less than a number of days can be very well. If something happens, systems can be "reactive" or better proactively kicks in.

  Running on SAN cluster could be a solution... but we cannot have enough $ to build a San now.

  I would like to ask if VMWare provide all product that can take a snapshot or perform replication from all Wins servers to a virtual machine by a calendar environment. I think that virtual machine, because we don't have to buy new hardware while double set.

  Vcenter is for this?

  Any suggestion would be great.

  Thank you very much.

  Takami Chiro

  Software double-take doues not need to be run on a cluster - it can be physical or virtual, and yes it can replicate a server on a virtual machine - vmware converter will allow you to P2v physical machine, but it will be a manual process.
