• How to activate the Internet connection on Windows Server 2003 is installed in the virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8?

  I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8. I need it to learn and practice the use of the Active Directory. I've also set up 3 Windows XP workstations connect to it, which means that they can communicate with Server 2003. What is lacking is the Internet connection on all of them. When I run ping 8.8.8.8 in one of these virtual machines, I get, 'Destination host unreachable.'

  I'm not sure, what if the problem comes from the settings in Windows or the settings of the virtual machine.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you, guys. I was finally able to put in place. It was quite an ordeal to deal with IP addresses and virtual networks. Here's how I did (in the screenshots) in case someone else needs it.

  (I also confess that it is perhaps one of the ways to implement. Maybe there is an easier way to do it with DHCP...)

  1. in your computer where is installed VMware Workstation 8 begin the "Virtual Network Editor." It is located in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation. And implement the network following (VMnet2 in my case):

  

  2 then in VMware Workstation itself in the virtual machine when Windows Server 2003 is installed set up two network as connections:

  This one is for external access to the Internet:

  

  And this one for intranet communications AD:

  

  3. then in the machine virtual de Windows Server 2003 set up what follows for two network adapters:

  For Internet access:

  

  Then, you need allow this connection to share:

  

  And then for the ad access to workstations (ensure that the static IP address is in the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor). I've also set up DNS to 127.0.0.1 because I installed on this Windows 2003 DNS server:

  

  4. from the Windows 2003 VM try ping 8.8.8.8. It should work now.

  5. go to each workstation, in my case, Windows XP, each in its own virtual machine and set up the network in the VMware Workstation as follows:

  

  6. then in the virtual machine, configure the network connection for Windows XP workstation. Don't forget to assign a new static IP address for each workstation, which not coinside with IP of the domain (this IP address must come from the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor):

  

  7. try first ping the domain, in my case ping 192.168.237.128. And then Internet, ping 8.8.8.8. The two should work!

  Continue with steps [5-7].

• Cannot import Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4.

  Hi team,

  I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to import certain Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4, using another Windows Server 2008 R2 as the machine Agent Converter. Well, the agent connects to the Windows VM source very well (I used the net use command to create a line of conduct...), perhaps no chance to connect to the computer target VMware ESxi 4 and make the converter doesn't work...

  Following is the error message:

  "Unable to connect to the host specified" from the converter agent machine. " It is perhaps because the host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on this host services do not react. Check all components of converter to be able to connect.

  So, my question is; is it possible to create a work around (like the net use Windows command above) to make possible the connection of the converter Agent on Linux VMware ESXi 4 machine Windows machine, to directly import the virtual machines of Windows Hyper-V to Linux VMware?

  Thanks in advance,

  It's even easier than that

  Use this: http://www.winimage.com/

  Which will convert *.vhd *.vmdk, so you don't need to do all this... Of course, another way is to start the machines, leaving them on Hyper-V and go through the network and process virtual machine as physical machines and do a P2V on the network...

• Strange error; VMware Server 2.0.1 stopped running virtual machines after update.

• Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter: Activate the virtual machines on a host KVM

  Hello

  I bought four licenses for sale at retail of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. With the license of data center, I have the right to install a number of Windows Server R2 instances unmlimited 2012 on the physical machine with the associated license.

  The question now is: How can I activate Windows in virtual machines?

  As virtualization host, I use KVM, AVMA is not possible. I need a KMS host key to set up a KMS host. I tried to use my product key for the retail license but the VMAT does not accept the key, because it's a KMS - no key. Where should I paste my product key for the KMS host key?

  Kind regards

• Update blackBerry OS Q10 10.1.0.4181 - no longer have a mobile network connections

  I have questions after I tried to update my BB Q10 on 10.1.0.4181. I received a notification that there is an update of the device software, so I made a backup of my Q10 with Blackberry link before the update. When I did the update, I do not unplug my phone from the power source, restarted and has been blocked on the blackberry for a couple of hours logo. I tried to turn it off, and it wouldn't so I did a battery pull. Unfortunately, I didn't know that you shouldn't do BB10. I don't know if this is the cause of the problem, but now I can not connect to the mobile network. When I go to network connections, it doesn't let me turn it on. Depending on the settings of my phone, I always the old version of the software, as well as the update has not yet taken. Please, can someone (in other words) tell me what I need to do? I would have preferred not to lose everything on my phone and I know that the Blackberry link backups can be summary. It would be better to go into a Bell store and let them take a look or should I try to restore the backup, reset my phone? I do not know my best option, and I also need to do a little hand-holding if possible to tell me how to reset my phone if that's the case. Thanks for your help.

  I thought about it. I suggest to anyone that they do not do the update live, but rather to connect to the Blackberry link on your laptop computer and load the update there. I Redid the update via Blackberry link and now my phone is back to normal.

• Configure a DNS SERVER to use SCANNING for Solaris virtual machines

  Version of the grid: 11.2.0.3
  Planning of a two node RAC cluster
  
  I create a CAR with Solaris VM setup in my office. Although a virtual machine configuration, I don't want to use the file/etc/hosts for name resolution that I will completely test SCAN. That is to say. All the ANALYSIS VIPs turning way responsive when nslookup is run.
  
  I can do one of my 2 RAC nodes a DNS server?
  
  If anyone has any document on Linux/Solaris, please let me know.

  Hello

  technically Yes, but it won't help you in a way. If the node with the DNS server dies your cluster will not work properly more.

  However, for a test cluster, you don't need DNS. You can simply stay with 1 address for the SCAN, which is quite enough (for the test, no production). No need to go through the DNS installation. It would be an exaggeration to this configuration of VBox.

• vCenter Server and Manager on the same virtual machine and on the same host ESXi update that they manage

  Hi all

  I have a question to which I did not respond.

  I have an ESXi 5 on Proliant DL380 G7 server host. I want to install vCenter Server and Manager Update on one of the Server 2008 R2 VM on the same host. I know it's possible, but my question is how Update manager will provide updates to the same ESXi host it will run on? The update is applied every time host must spend in maintenance mode and power off the virtual computer running on this subject which means he'll kill VM where vCenter Server and Update Manager is running and the update will fail right?

  Is that possible at all or the VCS and UM such as a virtual computer operating point is updated to other guests if you have them or vMotion as VM to another host when you want to update the VCS and UM host is running?

  Thanks in advance.

  It will not work.  You will need at least two hosts.  This way you can vMotion the vCenter VM to another host.  From there, you can use VUM.  Otherwise, you will need to patch the host as a stand-alone host.

  See below for patching a standalone host

• Need help updated the VMX file on several Virtual Machine

  All,

  Can anyone help with a problem I'm having?  Here is a brief explanation of what is happening and what we need to solve.

  Recently we found out that we need to add a line in the file VMX of several virtual machines.  In the past, I was able to do this, but would have cold start the virtual machine for the changes to take effect.  Starts cold won't be a problem, because we can program it.

  However, no one knows a way to add this line in the file VMX virtual machines in a cluster.

  Here's the line I need added:

  Devices.hotplug = "false".

  Here is a script that was used earlier (esx 3.0 days) to keep the VM tools updated on reboot.  At this point, if the virtual machine has been turned on, this change could not do through the UI.  However, this script worked to update the .vmx file and then we have cold reboots for the changes to take effect.

  Get-viserver - < Server > - < user > - < password >

  $viview = get-Cluster-name NOMCLUSTER | Get - VM | foreach-object {get-view ($_.ID)}
  $viview | {foreach-object
  $vmConfigSpec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools = new-Object VMware.Vim.ToolsConfigInfo
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.afterPowerOn = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.afterResume = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.beforeGuestStandby = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.beforeGuestShutdown = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy = "UpgradeAtPowerCycle".
  $_. ReconfigVM ($vmConfigSpec)
  }

  The exact script can be found in Disable HotPlug

• two virtual machines on esxi, vm linux server can ping and ping to the outside, windows can ping but incoming requests timeout

  Hello

  I have an ESXI server with two network cards, each connected to separate the subnet in the same Cisco switch.

  First interface is in 10.231.5.0/255.255.255.0 and the second is 192.168.118.0/255.255.255.0

  Initially, I built a virtual machine with MS Windows 2003 R2 Standard with two network interfaces with static IP addresses on both subnets. 10.231.5.153(Gateway configuré sur cette carte réseau) and 192.168.118.153.  It has also installed vm tools.

  Second built vm is Ubuntu 8.10 with two network interfaces and two static IP a linux server in each subnet. This virtual machine has never had no problem contacted subnets one bit and he can go out on all of the subnets that are routable through the switch. Static IP addresses are 10.231.5.152(gateway est configuré sur cette carte réseau) and 192.168.118.152

  The Windows virtual machine has always been a bit flaky. Sometimes he would not be able to ping on all interfaces (while the State of the network in Windows showed the incoming and outgoing packets).  Sometimes he could ping another Vm and ESXI management IP but could not ping to the outside on the network 10.231.5.0 or 192.168.118.0. Deactivation and activation of network interfaces seem to make a difference with outgoing network access is enabled. However, if I try to ping back part of the same subnet a machine outside the ESXI Server ping timeout. It's weird as after having activated a deactivation of the network interface, that he even manages to ping subnets a bit far, but pingees machines cannot he ping back. However, these machines have no problem ping to the management of ESXI or Linux VM interface. Restart the machine virtual Windows translates the EPS of no longer being able to ping up to deactivation and activation of cards network again.

  I tried to activate the Promiscuous (the Accept value) mode on computer management virtual and vSwitch (vmnic1 and vmnic0 appear in the collection of NETWORK adapters window), but it did make a difference.

  Pointers would be very much appreciated.

  Thank you

• vCenter Server 5 install in a virtual machine or not?

  Hi all.

  We have a health care environment small assisted living with a dozen sites/servers

  A server has 3 VMw4 vms on it.

  We received two new servers ESXi installed 5. They will host several virtual machines of Windows Server for most of the migration of the current VMw4.

  I want to install vCenter Server 5 to manage.

  My book of VMware by Lowe, he mentions that install the vCenter server in a virtual machine has limits.

  It mentions cold migration, cloning and editing material are not available.

  He also mentions the considerations with the help of a distributed virtual switch.

  Ufortunately that he won't go into details.

  But there seems to be benefits such as the backup server and fast food when you use a virtual machine.

  Any thoughts?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It is one of the common design decision. now VMware recommended is to use a virtual machine.

  some of the benefits you can get are: -.

  The vCenter Server system can be revived in a cluster of high availability of vSphere

  VM resources CPU and memory can be easily resized. The vCenter Server system also benefits from vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) cluster workload balancing.

  You can easily save or create a virtual machine as needed.

  him as a physical Machine will be some disadvantages such as:-

  To ensure availability, you must purchase and use additional software such as vCenter Server Heartbeat or a third-party clustering solution.

  You must properly size the physical machine's resources.

  You must have a separate system and use imaging software to take a snapshot of a physical machine.

• Unable to start the CD player Win2003 Server / removable on the virtual machine: VMware-8(Host: Win7)

  

  Hello

  I am unable to start Win 2003 Server CD disk / removable on a Virtual Machine (the two VMWare 6 and 8). The snap-snap-in error is attached. I have the right configuration of the BIOS to Boot priority, but is taking the PXE ROM option.

  Please help me.

  Thank you

  Hello

  1. it doesn't matter that the 'connected' is checked which is normal. "Connect at power on" is important and must be checked that it is on the screenshot.

  2. now, change the "autodetect" option to point to your 'real' cdrom device (that this laptop has).

  3 If this does not convert your cdrom ISO image 2003 and load through the second option that says "use an iso image.

  4. If this still does not work there is only one possible "your 2003 cdrom is NOT bootable. The fact that it autoruns IN Win7 does not mean that is bootable. You should check by placing it in a different machine of cdrom, restart this computer, bios in order to boot from CDROM/DVD first and see if the change boots. If it does not start even from there then for sure this cd is NOT bootable. So, the important thing is to load the cd on time to start and not inside the operating system to work.

  5. try to download an iso of the trial of the internet windows Server 2003 and use that one to see what is happening.

  6. create a new virtual machine and try here or even better to try another machine with Workstation 8 and see what happens.

  7. it is no coincidence if the CD-ROM drive is not recognized within the virtual machine.

• Required physical server Vs Virtual Machine memory

  Is there a white paper explains why we we need less memory in the Virtual Machine as compared to the physical Machine.

  The problem is that my boss wants to know why this is so. It is very difficult for me to explain this to him, he wants to see a white paper OR some article on the internet.

  As long as a VM administrator, I know that we can add and remove a virtual computer memory but it will be not that simple when it comes to physical servers. I suggested to him that we must follow a standard, and if there is a requirement for business we can increase or decrease is according to the needs. So when the salesman comes in they give us specifications for the physical server and not the virtual and there is always an argument that why should have 6-8 GB memory VM from the outset. In order to avoid everything that the arguments it needs more proof.

  Thank you

  Here is a simple explanation of why VM need less memory.  Transparent page sharing.

  If you install a virtual of Windows 2008 SP2 single server machine, lets assume that it uses 500 MB of RAM while sitting idle.  It's basically all running components loaded into memory.

  If you then put a same VM, the new machine virtual don't re-charge not the exact same components in memory.  ESX will see the same exact memory block has been loaded into the memory of the host Server1 (phyiscal material) and then simply point the virtual machine to the component already loaded into memory.

  After the virtual machine has been loaded and GST has kicked, you will probably find that for 2 identical virtual machines you use not only 650MB of memory (not 1000 as expected).  This is because 80% of the components has need of the new virtual machine, it only uses the existing memory blocks, instead of duplicating.

  Now, repeat this operation on 10 VM and assume only 50% of the memory is the same between them... it is still a huge economy of memory.  In this case, since each VM Windows is really loading only 250 MB of itself in memory and split the rest, technically you don't need to allocate 2 GB of RAM for each virtual computer... you can easily get away with putting 1 to 1.5 GB on this server and I have always the same ratio of available memory for the programs that you would do if it was a physical server.

• I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password.

  Default password Machine virtual XP Mode

  I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password. Please giveme the default password

  If you're talking about XP Mode the default password is XPMUser.  In general you can not use Windows without a password in Windows Virtual PC that you can with Virtual PC 2007 and before.  XPMUser is used only with the XP Mode virtual machine.  All other virtual machines requires a user created password.  If you have changed the password in XP Mode and forgotten, then you have to start over.

  Windows Virtual PC is based on virtual server rather than VPC and all virtual machines need a password.  If necessary, uninstall the integration features, start the virtual machine and create a password for the admin user.  Restart the virtual machine, and then reinstall the integration features.  You will not be able to access a virtual machine created by the user that has no password, while the integration features are installed.  Once you have everything right, that a virtual machine will not be asked a password if you are the admin user in Windows 7.
