Two servers to connect internal using the virtual machine even in a swimming pool?

I was deploying a pilot here VDI environment.  Working with the deployment with the planning guides, most things went smoothly.  However, in practice (and by the guides and information online) I learned that ultimately it works best to have two individual servers to connect internal (not replicated). a dedicated to access internal only, and the other coupled with a security server in the DMZ.

My question is, can a system (physical workstation w / agent or VM) live in a resource pool manual for two managers of internal connections?  What is the best way to manage a scenario in which a worker would use a specific virtual machine during the day (and thus the internal connection manager), verus remotely using this same VM?

Also, when you have a connection to Server 2, should a 2nd database of events created in SQL, or if it can share the same database of events?

Thank you!

Lol this is not correct. For a mode environment that supports both internal and external users, it is true that you should have one or more servers dedicated to the internal connection and one or more dedicated for external, but they should all work as a replica group. for example, to install the first as a standard instance and others as a replica instance. In this way, users can access the same pools they are internal and external, administration can be performed only once on the entire environment.

Architecture and planning guide is a good reference.

http://pubs.VMware.com/view-50/topic/com.VMware.ICbase/PDF/view-50-architecture-planning.PDF

In particular, look at the diagram page 61 that shows this. All 4 connection servers are in the same group of replicated, then it will have been installed as a standard and others installed as replicas. Of course, you don't have to have 4 unless you have HA needs, you can have just two and so without balancing the load, but in all these cases, the connection servers share the configuration via the replication data.

I hope this helps.

  • The mouse is confused - almost impossible to use the virtual machine more...

    Hello

    I use a number of VMWare (6.0.7 build-2844087) sessions player on my i7 quad core Windows 8.1 system for separate processes.  I don't do anything in my main boot environment is nice and clean.  I have a player for web browsing, one for email and a few others (game, video editing, etc.).  This separation gives me an easy backup/restore option for any computer virtual as well as prevention 1 VMS are attacked/infected/hacked/etc most I can lose, it is what is in this virtual machine.

    Something broke all of a sudden.  I don't know if it was the last update for VMware tools or some change made by windows update or maybe even a setting that I did.

    But now, my mouse is very confused.  If you look at the picture, you can see 2 pointers.  The bottom is my VM. The top appears with the VMWare container think that the mouse should be there. And the relationship between the 2 pointers constantly changes.  So I can select something in the virtual machine, but the tank of the virtual machine can think the mouse is on the VM bar and when I click the virtual computer closes, presentation of the changes of the screen, minimize, etc..

    I did some research.  All of my text is set to the smallest size (the most common fix I found.)  I have re-installed VMWare tools.  I tried to change the mouse settings in my VM and the primary host environment.

    It's to the point where I can't click without 1st checking the top of the window on my main screen or risk losing work, etc..

    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

    Thank you

    If anyone is interested in distance, I finally solved the problem.  My guess is that I could have reinstalled the main operating system.  Instead, I've upgraded to 10 Windows and then installed Player 7.1.2.  On the plus side, no more problems with 2 pointers mouse with one randomly showing where and when he wanted.

    On the negative, I always have to press Ctrl-Alt to get to the VMWare bar at the top of the window.  But it is a small price to pay for now to be productive again.

    FWIW, my guess is that upgrading to 7.1.2 is really what makes the difference.

  • Run the virtual machine on the SSD or external HARD drive

    Hi all

    For school I need a large number of virtual machines. In total, I have about 140 GB of VM. And with a total of 250 GB of SSD on my macbook pro, which is for many.

    If I want to move my VM on an external hard drive.

    My question is what is the best type of external hard drive that I can get.

    It's a normal with a thunderbolt connection HARD drive or an external hard drive SSD with USB 3.0 connection.

    Who is the fastest, and I see a lot of delay compared to my normal internal drive of the SSD.

    I don't want a disc HARD normal 3.0, it may slow down the VM to a large part.

    Hello

    If you ask a normal hard drive vs SSD then the SSD will win anytime, regardless of the USB3 or love at first sight.

    An SSD using thunderbolt would be preferable, but I don't know if they are easy to find.

    The advantage of having a via USB3 SSD, is that the disc is easy to use also other non-apple machines.

    An SSD in USB3 should work fine however.

    Side note:

    As you have an external connection there is a risk of the drive is disconnected/offline when you use the virtual machine. This can cause whatever it is the corruption of data to have a virtual machine that is completely missing. So if this is going to be your Setup program then make sure to make regular backups of these virtual machines to another disk.

  • When a snapshot is complete, so I can start to make changes to the virtual machine?

    When I take a snapshot in merge, a progress bar appears in the window of virtual computer, then disappears in a few seconds.

    But a picture of a clock also appears on the Fusion icon in the dock. Only the clock takes a minute or two to disappear.

    What process is the clock?  What is the take a complete snapshot?  When the progress bar disappears, or when the clock disappears?

    Can I safely begin to make changes to the virtual machine, I want to be able to restore, immediately after the progress bar disappears?

    Or, it is more prudent to wait to make changes until the clock disappears?

    Thank you

    (The progress bar and the clock appear in my Fusion 3 that I use always happy... I don't know what appears in more recent versions).

    While the stopwatch turns, Fusion is busy writing the snapshot to disk, so the performance of your comments and your host could be reduced.

    As long as the performance isn't an obstacle, you can continue to use the virtual machine while the snapshot is taken.  Merger will ensure that the snapshot includes the exact state of the virtual machine at the moment, you started the snapshot: nothing of what you are doing inside the guest, while the snapshot is in progress does not affect the State of the socket.

    See you soon,.

  • can OEM 12 c installed on the virtual machines?

  • AutoSave is slow when the virtual machine is not active

    When I actively use a Windows 2000 Server VM and AutoSave is triggered, it's very fast.  But if I did not use the virtual machine for a while, it takes some minutes and minutes.  If I'm trying to go back to the virtual machine, I have to wait indefinitely for the automatic backup complete.

    Is it possible to set the priority for the automatic backup feature?

    Are you talking about VMware Fusion AutoProtect feature, or something else (perhaps in the comments)? Offhand, it seems that when you have not used within a certain time, Fusion got paged out. Taking the automatic snapshot requires paging backward, which can take some time. You can test this theory by looking at activity monitor and looking at the pageout/publication numbers when you see an automatic preview slow.

    Pageouts and pageins are controlled by OS X and not something we have control over. Adding RAM to the Mac, it is more likely merger will stay in memory and avoid this situation.

  • 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.

  • Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Scenario is,

    1. smart card reader is connected to the VM with card inserted in

    2 initiate a prompt suspension of the VM toolbar

    3. now to resume the virtual machine by using vmrun command into the host machine

    WS t vmrun start xxx.vmx

    Now, the recovery of VM but the smart card reader that was previously connected does not work properly in VM that is to say, sometimes after CV chip card reader driver is uninstalling and a few other times, chip connected to the drive is not available on a virtual computer

    My requirement is after power, smart card reader can stay connected to the virtual computer with the already installed driver and the smart card.

    Kindly help with this problem.

    Dear all,

    I had a work around for this problem. By adding "usb.autoConnect.device0 ="0xVID:0xPID"" this statement to the VMX file, solves this problem, that is, whenever the VM is wake-up by clicking on the link CV or using vmrun commands, it connects the unit in question automatically and it is charging correctly with his driver. Obtaining smart card detected after sleep\hibernate with no problems.

    VID & PID is respective ID of the device that can be seen in the properties of the Device Manager "Device Instance path".

  • Students cannot "connect/disconnect the virtual machine's CD/DVD devices.

    I will start with this context (and apologies for the wall o ' text): I'm a newbie.  I took the course VMware local community college offers [VMware ESXI Server Enterprise (CIS197)], but I've not yet certified. And I don't have a real experience, except what I have taught myself so far.

    I recently accepted a position of learning associated with the College (think: glorified lab tech). I was tasked to work with stuff from VMware in the laboratory (among other things such as Cisco and Juniper equipment). There is no pass-down information like the previous left the position four months ago.

    We have a single host running ESXi 348481 4.1.0. "We have vCenter Server (5.5.0, 1312298), running on Windows Server (2008 R2, Enterprise Edition).  Access host and vCenter through two different IP, addresses using the vSphere client (either 5.5 or 4.1, using a single application - depends to know if I connect to the host or vCenter).

    At that time, the host is using local storage only (we have plans to change this, but it will take time).  The host is not a production on its own server, because it does not have a school systems.  He does, however, run a number of virtual machines in the lab, students use (Linux, Microsoft, Web design, etc.).  So, right now, I can't take it down.

    I was tasked to create a number of virtual machines that students can use to make the basic labs of Microsoft Windows 7.  So far, I have:
    -Created users, one per student, on the host.
    -Creating VMs, deploy one per student, I have a gold model vcenter.
    -Creation of roles to limit the access of students to just their VM attributed, which they access via client vSphere.
    -Created a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controller that is also a DHCP server.
    -Created a virtual network, which is accessible only by the Windows 7 virtual machines and is not visible outside the vSphere environment (if I said this right - he does not see the Internet or school network).

    So far, it's all good.

    However, I need to be able to allow students the ability to edit the ISO file on which their VM points in order to complete some laboratories. I guess they would use the button "connect/disconnect the virtual machine's CD/DVD devices" on the taskbar (or console window). It does not work.
    I searched a lot and found that others have had the same problem.  However, all of the solutions I've tried so far have failed.  When they click 'Connect to ISO image on the data... store. "they get an error message means nothing to me,"an internal error has occurred in the vSphere Client. Details: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object. Contact VMware support if necessary.
    The role that I use for students has these settings:
    -Data store > Browse the data store
    -Virtual Machine > Configuration > change the settings of the device
    -Virtual Machine > Configuration > settings
    -A bouquet under the virtual machine > Configuration >
    -Configure CD media
    -Console interaction
    -Connection of the device
    -On
    -Power off
    -(and more, which I don't believe are important to the question)
    -State > create the snapshot
    -State > go back to the snapshot

    I tried "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add existing disk", "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add new disk" and "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add or remove an instrument" with no luck.

    Either by the way, the root account can do all these things, but no other account can - not even a game as an administrator account.

    I've seen mention I have apply the role in the data store.  It is perhaps part of the problem. I can't see the data store when I am connected to the host (wellll, I can, if I click on the host name, then on the Summary tab - but roles do not apply at this stage).  I see is 'Inventory' (which has virtual machines and Pools of resources), 'Rôles' and 'log files '.

    I can see the data store when logged in vCenter. Roles of students, however, are defined on the host computer. If I clone the role of users in vCenter and change this role cloned to have "permissions" that those who are on the host computer and then apply it to the data store, it still does not work.

    So, after all this (which I hope I've included all the necessary information), what can I do to allow the students to change ISO to which they are connected?

    Of course, if I left something, or if someone has a question, please ask.  I want to get this resolved as soon as I can.

    It turns out that I finally found the solution to the problem.

    What 'fixed', it is sufficient to vSphere Web Client to vCenter, which then allowed us to use Single Sign-On (SSO).  This, in turn, allowed us to define users and roles in vCenter (rather than having set them up directly on the host computer) which have then been applied to the VMS of students and also to the data store.

    Now, they can (de-) connect their ISOs at will.

    I find it interesting that vSphere Client (application) shows the users (and the things that they have access to), but it won't let you set of users.

  • regarding the connection of the virtual machine to the external network

    Hi all

    I'm new to vmware and I have two virtual machines with windows operating system 7. How to connect to the external network?
    can I assign a NATed IP to them?

    If the need to talk about virtual computer internally, you can add all the VM in the same VSS(vswitch 1) at the same port group Network2 VLAN40. for virtual machines on that VLAN can communicate among themselves without problem and configure all virtual machines with IPs in VLAN40. no need for an another vs.

    For internet access, first check with your network administrator, if the VLAN has a routing or this VLAN has access to the DNS server that provide internet or the proxy server for internet access. He will confirm. or you can also check if this virtual machine are able to ping your DNS server or proxy servers. If its power of ping so it has access to this network. Configure the virtual machines that you configure a physical computer for internet access.

    If the VLAN has access to the internet, even that you configure the physical server with connection DNS and proxy for internet access only the configuraiton even here too in the virtual machine.

Maybe you are looking for
