The host only network

• The host only network on ESXi 4.1

  My apologies if there is appropriate documentation on this point, but I was not able to find it.

  I would use a few guests with access to the network only "host-only', but have not found how to set up the images for this.

  Any help is appreciated.

  It is actually easy to achieve. Simply create a new vSwitch without attaching of uplinks (vmnic) to him.

• sharing files between 'HST' & 'GST' in the guest only network

  Features of the sharing folder between the guest and host is important when guest only network. Unfortunately, I was not able to find accurate answers and but confusion according to the VWMare Server 2.0 documentation and GUI.

  .... To activate the shared folders for the virtual machine, see the documentation for your VMware product...

  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.

• ESXI 4 host only network adapter

  I am trying to set up an environment one host to test several servers.  In the 2.0 version of Windows, you can assign the adapter to one of the three parameters.  Bridge, host or NAT.

  I can't find a way to configure the host only to run multiple test servers.  Perfect example of this need is run DHCP and hide your production of LAN.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Welcome to the VMware community forums.  ESX (i) only provides a virtual switch (vSwitch) which is a bit like a physical switch.  You get no NAT or bypass with her.   But here's what you can do.

  (1) since the installation, you will have the default vSwitch which will have a virtual machine port group that can communicate with your local network.

  (2) create an another vSwitch, who is not related to any physical NIC port.  Go to Configuration-networking and click Add networks.  Select the type of virtual machine connection and then click Next.  You'll want a new vSwitch and there will be no NIC port.

  (3) then you will create a VM firewall with two virtual cards - NIC the vSwitch LAN connection and the other in isolation vSwitch.   There are a number of devices firewall free that you can use for this can provide DHCP and NAT

  (4) when you create your isolated virtual machines, just put them on the vSwitch isolated and you will be able to control access to network with firewalls VM.

• Virtual machine has 12 virtual processors, but the host only supports 8?

  Hi all I am using ESX 5.1 and have a machine Windows 2012 R2 Standard of virtual (vmx-09) comments that I'm moving to 8 processors to 12 processors.  But when I turn on the virtual machine after changing the UC 12 I get the error message

  "Virtual Machine has 12 virtual processors, but the host only supports 8. The number of virtual processors can be limited by the selected guest OS for the virtual machine or the granting of licenses for the host".

  Now, I know that 2012 R2 Standard Windows can handle 12 processors and I thought that ESX 5.1 could also, but I'm wrong?  This is the Standard of vSphere license 5.  Thank you!

  Hello

  vSphere 5.1 Standard license has a 8 vCPU per VM limit.

  Company = 32 vCPU

  Business + 64 vCPU

  You must upgrade to vSphere 5.5. This can be done with your vSphere license 5, as it is for all versions 5.X of vSphere and vCPU limit has been deleted in 5.5.

  So you can have as many vCPU per VM that your host has logical cores.

• Can not get the comments DHCP server to allocate addresses on VMNet1 Host-only network

  Hi all

  Hoping someone can help with this question, here's my virtual machine configuration basis up to now:

  -Windows 2012 ADDS, DHCP, DNS server

  -Windows XP client

  The two guests use the network to host only VMNet1 and DHCP is disabled through work stations.

  The problem I have is that my Windows XP computer cannot get a 2012 server DHCP address and she comes back with the link-local address of 169.x.  If I configure my Windows XP machine with a static address on the same subnet as the two computers are able to communicate without problem, so I'm not sure where I'm wrong.  Wireshark shows the broadcast DHCPDiscover packet, but nothing is returned.

  These adapters have certain limits they can treat broadcast packets?  Or am I really missing something here?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Did you check the configuration of your Windows Server 2012 DHCP server? The scope is active? The server is OK?

• How to change IP host on Linux/RHEL for virutal host only network?

  I have a Windows XP guest running on RHEL 6.2 host.  I'm using VMware Workstation 8.0.3.  I have a network card only virtual host without DHCP.

  My guest must use 190.168.128.1 through 190.168.128.9 ip addresses.  However, this suspended with the 190.168.128.1 automatically assigned host address.  I can't find a way to change the address of the host.  I would like to 190.168.128.10.

  Strangely, my virtual network cards do not appear when I click on the network icon in the taskbar.

  Previously, I had this setup configuration up on top of a host Windows 7 and I could easily change this setting if the properties of the virtual network adapter.  In Windows, when a new virtual adapter is added, it appears in the list of available adpater.

  Thank you

  but in my file/etc/vmware, I have only one file for vmnet8 and not 1 and 2.  They are present, if I run ifconfig.  Also, if it's important, I do not use DHCP on each host only virtual network.

  You will need to add the following in the file networking/etc/vmware/networking as root and then reboot the host.

  With the machine virtual shutdown, not suspended and VMware Workstation closed...

  In a Terminal:

  su -
  nano /etc/vmware/networking
  

  Add the following under code: answer Yes to VNET_1_VIRTUAL_ADAPTER

  answer VNET_1_VIRTUAL_ADAPTER_ADDR 190.168.128.10
  

  CTRL + O to save Ctrl + X to exit

  Restart the system (shutdown - r now) If you want to do it from the Terminal.

  There actually is a way to stop the VMware Network Services to then modify the file, and then restart services and without having to restart however I do not have orders in hand for a restart of the host must take care of it.

• no connectivity between the virtual machines on the guest only network

  I have trouble getting the network connectivity between two Windows 7 computers using a guest only network virtual in VMware Player.  Each virtual machine is able to get a (unique) IP address via dhcp and can ping itself and the bridge, but could not reach the other system.  I looked on my host computer adapter VMnet1 in Wireshark and saw incoming icmp packets in, but nothing is returned new.  My vmnetdhcp.conf file is unchanged with the exception to add a line to set the default gateway on my guests.  It was an attempt to solve this problem, and the same behavior was observed before changing anything.  Here are the details for this network segment:

  subnet 192.168.184.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {}
  range 192.168.184.128 192.168.184.254;            # by default allows up to 125 VM
  option broadcast-address 192.168.184.255;
  option domain-name-servers 192.168.184.1.
  option domain-name "localdomain".
  routers option 192.168.184.1;  # This is the line, I added
  by default-lease-time 1800;
  Max-lease-time 7200;
  }
  host VMnet1 {}
  Hardware ethernet 00:50:56:C0:00:01;
  fixed-address 192.168.184.1;
  option domain-name-servers 0.0.0.0.
  option domain-name ";
  }

  Is there a problem with my configuration somewhere, or is it just a limitation of VMware Player?

  You may need to allow ICMP traffic of WF with Windows 7 as OS.

• cannot ping within the host only vmnet0

  I created my own guest only (vmnet0) network without DHCP (192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0). I run several linux guests in this network. One of them, that I call the "headnode", assigns a static IP 192.168.1.1 and runs a DHCP server. The other guests, now referred to as "nodes", use DHCP to obtain their IP addresses of the headnode. During the process of starting the backend nodes, they communicate correctly with the DHCP server on the headnode and receive an IP address. After their NIC is however in place, the main nodes cannot exceed the headnode. A ping from a backend node is unable to reach the headnode. If I ping a backend of the headnode else node hand, it takes about 6 ping probes before the ping starts to work and after that, I can also ping the headnode leave this backend node. It seems that my network setup, i.e. firewall, routing, etc., in the guest linux is correct, but that the vmnet0 switch is not working properly. Is this a known issue with a guest only network?

  Thanks already,

  Nick

  I'm not sure on a Linux host, but on Windows the XXX1 IP address is assigned to the virtual host adapter, if this option is checked! You may have a problem with an IP address in this case duplicate. Also, make sure that the IP address range does not correspond to the physical network.

  Anyway, as mentioned by continuum, you can't redefine vmnet0 (filled by default), but use instead an additional vmnet for a virtual network additional.

• Virtual LAN with guests and the host only

  Hello

  I have a win server 2008 r2 host and a couple of virtual machines.

  I want to create a VLAN that contains the host and guest of the virtual machine. I intend to host the domain controller.

  I put the network connection from the guest to "host-only '.

  Then I tried ping between the guest and the host. Ping fails. "request time out" @host and "destination host unreachable'@guest.

  Firewall is turned off on both.

  What could be the problem? Is there another way to reach my goal?

  Kind regards

  Dembele.

  Did you stop the firewall service, or you have turned off the firewall? Stopping the service does not work.

  In any case, take a look at for example example 4 in the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947709/en-us for how to configure ICMP (ping) settings.

• NAT and host only networking

  Hi all

  I have a configuration is to behave in what I believe is a strange way and I hope that someone can confirm this behavior is correct or I have something misconfigured.

  I am simulating 2 sites connected by a WAN to test the configuration of the software.  To do this, I set up 2 Win Server 2003 virtual computers as of the routers, with the result 3 networks.  Common to these two virtual machines (WAN) network is configured on the NAT VMnet.  The other 2 networks/VMnets (LAN) are Hostonly.

  After you add the network adapters and IP configuration, I did a quick ping test to a virtual computer to another and the results are confusing me.  Routing had not been configured on each virtual machine, but I couldn't ping from one virtual computer through the other opposite 'LAN' IP.  Monitoring LAN port while rattling revealed that the source for the ping IP address belonged to the host for the VMnet LAN adapter.  Think that the strange behavior, I've reconfigured the Wan to be Hostonly, and I couldn't ping from one VM through the other until the network has been configured on the virtual machines.

  To playback of VMWare Server user guide, it seems to me that NAT must not automatically route traffic between VMnets.

  So the question is, is VMWare behave properly and I interpret how the virtual network must function properly?  Or is VMWare strange behaviour and I just have to be aware of this?

  Thanks for the help.

  Bingo.

  The host knows the routes to all your virtual networks, because he is a member of all networks. Remove the virtual network for both adapter LAN you created, then they change 'host-only"to"guests only ".

• Group creation ESXi 4 port with respect to the host only vSwitch

  Hi all

  ESX experts out there confirm what the 'group of ports' process is for the creation and how it relates exactly to host only vSwitch?

  I have created a vSwitch1 as host only with no attached NIC (as by the other topic, I found) I want to clone and initialize some test of hot P2V but they don't have any real network connections.

  I use vSphere to do this, and I'm new to ESX...

  You will still need to create a virtual machine on the new vSwitch port group, but if the vSwitch has no physical NIC are attributed to him, then the traffic on this vSwitch will be isolated.

• Impossible to allocate additional processors (virtual machine has 8 virtual processors, but the host only supports 4)

  Dear team,

  I want to devote 8 vcpu to one of the virtual machine, but it gives following error

  "Virtual Machine has 8 virtual processors, but the host supports only 4. The number of virtual processors can be limited by the selected guest OS for the virtual machine or the granting of licenses for the host".

  want to know the weather, that it depends on the os under license or guest vm

  

  Hello

  It is the restriction of license. 4-way vSMP is the right thing, you stressed in your screenshot.

  If you upgrade your server and license to vSphere 5, you can allocate 8 vCPU with Standard license and 32 vCPU with your license of the company!
