  Hello

  You can try below also extracts

• 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.

• Find my host PID of virtual machines VMware Server 2.0

  Hello!

  With VMware Server 1.x, it was easy for me to find which machine used what PID. I just had to connect to the web interface of VMware Server and voila I could see my names of virtual machines and their respective PIDs.

  Now with VMware Server 2 I can't find anywhere them in the web console of VMware!

  Instead I use Process Explorer (and market - I find that PID is related to computer)...

  Anyone has any idea where I can get this info quickly in VMware software/console/whatever?

  Thanx.

  Sorry, I was showing you the contents first to design you what you actually wanted.

  Try the attached vbs script that isolates the configuration file .vmx and PID for you.

• VMWare Server 2.0 to ESXi 4.0 update?

  I have a system running VMWare Server 2.0 on RHEL 5.4.

  I would spend my VM to a new server ESXi 4.0 U1.

  Can I use the files on hard drive of the server 2.0 VMDK with ESX 4.0 Server?

  Thanks in advance.

  VMware server uses hardware version 7 by default. ESXi uses hardware version 4. You will need to use the converter to go beyond the material differences.

  I'm sorry that you have posted in the forum ESXi 3.5. ESXi 4 uses hardware version 7

• 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

• DC virtual in VMWare Server virtual network configuration

  I'll put up a virtual AD network on a virtual server installation.  The host machine is supposed to be portable (i.e. the LAN IP will change, and it may be offline from time to time).  I'm trying to set up the first machine on my network, the virtual domain controller.  I don't know what to specify for the default gateway.

  Currently, on the domain controller, IPv4 is configured as follows:

  1 = bridged network adapter

  IP address: 192.168.131.1

  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  Default gateway: (empty)

  Preferred DNS: 127.0.0.1

  Alternate DNS: 64.71.255.198

  Should I leave it like that, or specify one virtual network cards as the default gateway?

  Without a default gateway, you will not be able to route to the DNS server that you specified: auxiliary DNS: 64.71.255.198

  If you think you have all the traffic in your MS local virtual (hosting IE everything than ob this host and always keeping local traffic), then no DG not required, but I suspect you'll want to make the web etc as you go along, if you need a DG to be routable

• Risk of newer version of VMware Server comments

  Hi all

  I have a situation where I need to migrate a virtual in VMware Server 1.0.7 for 1.0.2 machine (by copy paste files and folders)

  Is there a risk involved as causing an incompatibility or corruption?

  Thank you.

  1.0.2 is old enough. I would try to avoid this situation. Better update the other server 1.0.9 (more real).

  It depends on the operating system host and guest. You should read the release notes for each version and try to decide on them.

• Import the virtual machine of VMWare Server 2.0

  I want to hang in VMWare Server 2.0 to ESXi 3.5, how to import my VMWare VM for ESXi?

  I installed ESXi 3.5 on my test lab server and all I see is an option to import a device and not a VM.

  This feature is still available?

  Thank you

  Yes, this feature is available, but it will take VMware Converter - this will allow you to go to your VM VMware Server ESX/ESXi.

• How to upgrade to vmware server

  I want to upgrade my vmware server 2 to the newer version I downloaded the current vmware server and start the installation.  The installation process asks me if I want to repair or remove.  I thought I'd have a got a msg asking if I wanted to upgrade.  Am I missing something?

  Go ahead and uninstall/remove.  Then install the new version.  Be sure that all your virtual machines are closed (non-suspended) before uninstalling.

  BTW, what version you are currently running?  (What build?)  Are you sure that you are actually updating the version/version number?

• How to enlarge the screen of Windows Server 2003 on VMware Server 2?

  People,
  
  Hello. Because Windows 7 is not compatible must be installed to PeopleSoft PIA, I need to install VMware Server 2, and then install Windows Server 2003, which is compatible with PIA, on the virtual machine.
  
  But when I open Windows Server 2003 on the virtual machine, Win2K3 screen is very small, and its size is of about 1/4 of the screen of my computer screen. It is not comfortable to work for a long time.
  
  People know how to enlarge the screen of Windows Server 2003 in a virtual machine VMware Server 2 so that its size covers all of my computer screen?
  
  
  Thanks in advance!
  
  
  Lucy

  Did you already installed the VMWare tools in your guest OS in VMWare? In general, it helps a lot to be able to redefine a larger screen definition.

• Placeholder Virtual Hardware Version different from the virtual machine active

  Hi all

  This is my first post to the community, so please be nice :-)

  I'm looking for after an ESXi U2 with MRS 5.5 5.1 environment and I have a problem I hope you can help me with?

  After an update of the all virtual V7 and V8 to V9 material throughout the environment recently, I noticed that is not reflected in the placeholder SRM on those virtual machines information placeholder. I hope it's just an aesthetic issue, but I don't want to get into a situation of DR and find that it is a question then (or it is systematic of a bigger problem!). I know I can do a test failure to confirm, but I'm not in that position at the moment as the company policy says I can only do the test during a maintenance window that is not for a while...

  I thought that the easiest option would be to "Recreate a Placeholder" in [groups] but this is grayed out on (which I suppose is because the protection status is "OK")... Protection status gives me some comfort, but this gap in information gives me a bad feeling...

  Your help and your advice would be appreciated!

  Crispy

  Hi crispy, welcome in the community :-)

  What happens if you go to the Protection Group, select a virtual machine, right-click and remove Protection, and then set it up again?

  These procedures will remove the placeholder VM and recreate without doubt using new hardware version... but do not forget that the ESXi host at the target site must be compatible with the new version of hardware.
