• How to access the virtual machines to different physical network?

  Hello

  I'm new to ESXi, can someone tell me how can I access virtual machines on the physical network existing in case I use different IP classes? Physics of the network by using the class C IPs and I assigned IPs to virtual machines of class A? If it is possible, then, what are the steps?

  In fact, I installed exchange 2010 VMs and also want to access the email accounts of physical network.

  Thank you.

  You mean there's no way in ESXi to configure the way so we can access the virtual machines to physical network? without third-party applications.

  Because it is impossible for the various networks IP connect without a router, you must have such a device. There is really no difference in that in a pure virtual or physical environment.

  You might think the ESXi host as a box with one or more servers (virtual) inside and one or more layer (virtual) two switches, just like a small server room. This means you will need to provide the same type of connectivity that you would have to a new server room with machines configured with addresses in a different IP network range.

• Clone the virtual machine between two ESX 3.5.0 servers (low connection)

  Hi all!

  I have two ESX 3.5.0 servers that are managed by a vCenter servers one have just the connection of 32 KB.

  I need to clone one of my virtual machines from one to the other ESX is W2k8 created with 40 GB HARD drive. I tried to start it clone trough my low connection, but the task is about 86% for 4 days :|

  Is it possible to clone virtualmachine on one of my ESX for its local storage and after that, get it by vCenter for example an external HARD drive and then copy them all to my second ESX? How to run copied virtual machine on my second ESX? Maybe I can do it with another way - ideas?

  Two ESX are the same versions and machines, only the names and the ip addresses are different.

  Thanks for the tips

  Kris

  I don't think it is possible since the virtual disk will be 40 GB in size - I was suggesting using a laptop as a server NFS ESX sees and access the virtual machine for this storage clone - it take the first vessel of ESX host it to secondary site attach NFS datastore on the second ESX Server and using the browser of data store you navigate to the cloned VMX of VM file and to him the second ESX host - you can cold migrate leaving the second host and then move the cursor above for the storage you want.

  Hello

  Not really...

  For an environment hosted... If you can access the console of the host, you can always access the console of the virtual machine regardless of the State of the network outside of the console. VMware Workstation, Fusion and server all fall into this category.

  For ESXi/ESX... you need a host outside to access the console of the virtual machine. ESX and ESXi not displayed graphics or VMs of their consoles and management devices. So, you need an external machine that can run the vSphere Client or access to the virtual machine via RDP, VNC according to Guest OS involved or SSH.

• What is the interval of time between the virtual machine Linux and ESXi host synchronization?

  I have ESX5.0 with a centos6 installed on this linux virtual machine.

  After the installation of vmware for Linux virtual machine tools, I activated the time synchronization between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host through vmware-toolbox-cmd.

  I wonder what is the interval of time between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host synchronization? If I quickly time OS system, when the OS system time will sync back to the ESXi host?

  According to http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Timekeeping-In-VirtualMachines.pdf:

  By default, the demon checks the guest only once per minute operating system clock.

  However, depending on whether the guest is behind or in front of the result is different. So, please read the section "periodic synchronization" (at least) in the document mentioned above.

• List not updated virtual machines after the migration of the virtual machine to a different data store

  My vSphere infrastructure 5 uses several data stores.

  Two data warehouses are associated with NFS on different NAS shares.

  I migrate VM to a data to another store.

  The navigation data store, I see that the files are moved from the old data store to the new and that no file belonging to the migrated VM still does exist on the old data store.

  If I look at the list of VMs on the old data store, I still see the old VM.

  I see it in the list of the virtual machine on the new data store as well.

  I checked that no .iso no pagefile is in the old data store.

  How can I update the list of the virtual machine on the old data store?

  Above all, how can I safely delete the old data store by ensuring that the virtual machine works very well on the new data store and I don't lose anything?

  Concerning

  Marius

  This use of data store 'Phantom' is usually observed, if the current configuration of the virtual computer points to the 'old' data store (diskette, CD-ROM) or the virtual machine contains snapshots where - at the time where tone have been created - the VM has had these references. Once the snapshots are deleted from data store 'ghost' will go away from summary of the virtual machine.

• When you access the virtual machine, getting the error "encountered an error when you try to use one of its virtual hard disks". Help?

  I received the "low disk space error" on a hard drive of the virtual machine dynamic expanding. I have increased my space of virtual hard disk using "My Computer" > manage > storage > "Disk management" and choose "Attach VHD" then resizing to max available (64 GB), and now I can not start the virtual machine. It gives the error: encountered an error when you try to use one of its virtual hard disks. Help?

• VMware networking help - network bridge / to access the virtual machines form other pc

  I have a computer 'server' that had 4 VM launched on it.

  I need to connect to these virtual machines, all of which have their own IP addresses. I can ping the server or the host of a remote computer, but must be able to communicate with the virtual machines in the remote/client computerss.

  Can anyone offer insight?  I tried to set up an automatic bypass at one of the virtual machines

  Any thoughts?

  Sorry, I'm not sure I can follow you. In any case, what you're trying to do is to configure adaper network of the virtual machine as "Bridged" within the parameters of the virtual machine and then change network card settings in as guest OS:

  IP address: 192.168.1.21 (where 21 must be an unused IP address currently)
  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
  Def gateway: 192.168.1.1

  Preferred DNS server: 192.168.1.1

• You can synchronize a file to the virtual machine on two macbook pro

  I have 2 macbook pro I synchronize files with every night. I want to keep the file of the virtual machine the same on both machines. If I run VMWare Fusion with this file to the virtual machine on a single machine, quit VMWare Fusion and then synchronize the file tonight, the other machine will be able to open it without additional configuration steps? Thanks for any help you can give me.

  that would be copy very large files...

  but I don't see any problem other than

  Add
  UUID.action = 'keep '.
  to your file vmx to answer the question "did you copy or move you VM?" once for all time

• Unable to start the virtual machine after Migration - ESXi hosts

  Last night I wanted to move a virtual machine to a host of test to a production cluster.  All hosts (test and production) have shared access to the same LUN, so I usually am able to simply remove the virtual machines of the inventory in the test environment and add them to the production environment by accessing the .vmx on the data store file.  Two of the 3 hosts migrate perfectly and are running in the production environment.  However, the third server, while the migration starts.

  First he gave me errors that it was missing some files.  The only thing I did was different to rename the folder for the virtual machine on the data store.  It was called 'New Virtual Machine' for a reason, so I renamed it to "Antivirus."  However, something strange happened.  Instead of renaming the folder, it seems was created a new folder named "Antivirus" and the old folder 'New Virtual Machine' was still there.  In addition, the renamed folder 'Antivirus' had only SOME of the files needed.  So I just copied from the old folder in the folder "Antivirus" and he hung up the virtual disk of 20 GB file.  So I closed the VI client and checked the vdmk 20 GB folder and back this morning is in the folder with other files.  However, when I try to start the virtual machine, I get the "cannot access a file because it is locked" error message.

  I've done some detective and I noticed that in my second datastore where was the other folder vdmk, the file was now .40kB in size.  Looks like I've lost my other vdmk folder.  What happens here?

  It looks that the virtual machine was still running when you tried to change the name, so the old folder could not be renamed because of the lock. That's why a new folder has been created instead, and why your vm hung on the vmdk file until the lock has been released. Don't know what happened to the 2nd vmdk file, but the file vmware.log in virtual machine directory must have some info as to why does not start the virtual machine. If the 2nd vmdk is gone, this might be a reason.

• How to keep a virtual machine on a different host to another load balancing virtual computer

  I have two virtual computers (servers) that I use for the application load balancing and I don't want nor server/VM to finish on the same host at any time.   Balancing of the DRS is used in our vSphere environment.  What is the best way to implement?

  Yes that's what I was talking about-

  You can control the placement of virtual machines on the hosts in a cluster using Affinity rules.

  You can create two types of rules.

  VM HOST affinity - specify affinity or anti-affinite between a group of VMS and a group of guests. An affinity rule specifies that the members of a selected group virtual machine DRS may or must be running on a specific host DRS group. An anti-home rule specifies that the members of a selected group virtual machine DRS cannot run on a specific host of the DRS group members.

  Affinity of machine VM-virtual - specify affinity or an anti-affinite between each of the virtual machines. A rule specifying the affinity causes DRS to try to keep the specified virtual machines together on the same host, for example, for performance reasons. With a rule anti-xxx, DRS tries to keep the specified virtual machines, for example, so that when a problem arises with a host, you do not lose the two virtual machines.

• Password is now required to access the virtual machines

  I ran Money 98 on my laptop working for the last 2 years (in fact since 1998 on other computers) and from 07/10/2014 when I try to open Money 98 Windows asks for a password. I have not configured this virtual machine, and I do not think that a password has been set up. I really need access to this program, 16 years of financial info desperately needed for the work. Help please.

• Running one of the virtual machines on two physical servers at the same time. Server 2012

  Hello!

  I'll admit that I'm not exactly an expert Server nor I claim to be. I could use some help with the installation I build and eventually moving customers to server setup. In an effort to try to describe my question, here is a first draft of what looks like my setup.
  
  Rackstation 1 is therefore a Synology Rackstation, which runs high-availability Rackstation 2. Directly, cabledtogether, Rackstation 2 works passively and constantly updates a copy of Rackstation 1 Rackstation 1 failure.
  Host 1 running server 2012 and therefore host 2. Currently I have 6 servers virtualized on Rackstation 1, using Hyper-V Manager of 1 host. I created ISCSI storage for every server virtualized LUNS and currently have ISCSI targets to be used with host 1 pointing to the LUN. I created another series of ISCSI for Host 2 targets as well.  The idea is to have 2 host run the Hyper-V Manager and be able to connect to the virtualized servers same Rackstation 1 just like host 1 is currently. That way if nothing ever happens to the host 1, host 2 quickly usable for servers. All that seems to be able to do with host 2 is create new virtualized servers, instead of link those already created. Currently, regarding the RAM for virtualized servers, they use host 1.
  So, is there a way for host 2 to have the same virtual servers as host 1?  What I need to change my configuration to achieve this? IM open to ideas and advice on how to reconcile that far.

• Will be the virtual machine starts on another host (during the blackout) if he can't switch to Maintenance Mode?

  Hello

  We use a cluster with 2 5.1 ESXi hosts.  When attempting to place an ESXi host in Maintenance mode, he failed and said "not enough resources to satisfy configured level of failover for HA.

  We would like to know, just in case where one of these ESXi hosts failed, VMs will be start on another ESXi host (at least some) or all of them will be down (i.e. None of them start)?  If no virtual machine will be migrated, we will change our level of failover for HA.

  Thank you

  This occurs when you enable admission control on your HA cluster. When the failure of the host occurs and you have Admission control is enabled, it will let all market on the other host machines because it violates the constraints of availability.

  If you turn this off all VM is switched even if you do not have enough resources to accommodate all the s VM on a single host. On a long term, I would say that you have sufficient resources to allow this to happen. But for now, you can turn it off and try.
