• Disconnect the Vcenter/Cluster host and addition of new implications of Vcenter.

  All,

  We had to rebuild our vcenter on a separate box, because the database on the old one is completely messed up.  Successfully, we have disconnected hosts stand alone and added to the new Vcenter inventory without problem.  We wanted to know if there are problems with HA/DRS power off and disconnect a host of vcenter which is currently in a cluster.  Then add it to the new vcenter to manage.

  Thank you!

  No problem.

  Simple disable HA, tie your host for the new Victoria Cross, and then reactivate the cluster functions.

• WRT160N - LAN and WLAN of separate networks.

  Hello, I'm currently trying to install my printer for each computer on the network. I was able to do that with every computer that connect wirelessly to the network. I'm now trying to get the no wireless computer configured to use this printer.

  I just found that the WLAN and LAN networks are separated from each other. Which means that computers on the same network wireless and no wireless on one. I don't want that.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Go to the computer on which you have connected to the computer on this computer, click on start - RUN - type "ipconfig" and note the IP address... Now, go to the computer on which you want to share the printer and on this computer, click on start - RUN - type "\\IP of your computer" and click OK... It will show you your printer, right-click on it and click 'Connect' and it will be mapped to the printer on your computer... Once this is done now, you should be able to print from your computer.

• Is it posible to allow access between the host and virtal machine without wired network?

  I want to use my laptop to show him that I did in the virtual work to other people at my home.

  However, the laptop is ofen not allowed access to the network in their office.

  Is it posible to allow access between the host and virtal machine without wired network?

  My virtual machine is filled to the physical network adapter and use the static IP address.

  Brad

  Setting of the virtual machine: filled

  Change that to each host only (what Continuum called VMnet1) or NAT (VMnet8).  Both use a separate virtual NETWORK card to connect the physical computer virtual host, independent of any NETWORK adapter on the host.

  ... Since the machine host (win7) could not get IP, ping fail to VM (192.168.1.5)...

  Because the connection between the guest and the host is through a separate NETWORK card, you must use the 'other' IP address.  Access a prompt on the host computer and type IPCONFIG to view the IP address of VMnet1 and VMnet8 NIC.  Then use this IP address instead of 192.168.1.5.

  And when you have changed the network management modes (i.e. of bridged to host-only), Windows does not automatically renew its IP address.  The virtual NETWORK card uses a different subnet if you need to renew your DHCP lease or change your static IP address to work with the new subnet.

• Two network adapters physical separate networks

  Is it possible to implement two physical on a host running VMware Workstation Desktop cards, in a way where your host operating system uses one of them and one invited the other?  I need the host and guest on separate physical networks?  Example - my host OS is on our production network, but I want my guests to be on our test network.  Two physical production and test networks are completely separate and no physical connection between them.  Basically, my host Office would be multi-homed.

  Thank you

  Guest VM traffic is done only to the vnet to which you connect.  Therefore, if you configure NIC1 to be on by default in bridge network (vnet0) and NIC2 be bridged to vnet2 (for example), and then configure your guests with a vNIC connected to vnet2.  The prompt only "sees" everything that is connected to NIC2, because it is NOT connected to vnet0/NIC1.

  If you do not need host to go on the network at alltest traffic, you can disable the TCP protocol on the network to test NIC so no traffic host never goes that NIC just let VMWare bypass protocol enabled in order for the traffic of the virtual machine on this NIC

  However, if your host must have access to both networks, then imagine that virtual machines are running on another host on the network.  With your current physical machine with two network cards, ask you the same question: How can you guarantee that the traffic of the computer is done on the production network?  If you do not set a gateway for TCP/IP host on the NIC test network, so that traffic destined for this subnet test will go to this network adapter.  This means that two networks have different subnets, of course.  If the two networks are the same digital subnet (for example: both are 192.168.1.x) then you will have problems even in the absence of the virtual machines.

  The reason you do not set (and normally are not allowed to have two gateways) is if the traffic is destined for a subnet that your computer is not directly connected to, then your machine comes into contact with the bridge.  If you have two (or more) gateways, which is your machine contact?  Beyond simple dishes networks as in this example, you will probably need the assistance of an expert network.

• Is there a way to get the list of hosts and its groups of belonging to the vCenter folder level in 5.5 web vsphere client plugin development?

  Hello

  I need to get the list of all hosts and its groups of belonging to the vcenter folder level.

  1. I created a view giving the extension point: vsphere.core.folder.monitorViews.

  2. After this step, I wrote the constraint as in my class of mediator,

  var ListConstraint:Constraint =

  QuerySpecUtil.createConstraintForRelationship ( _contextObject, 'childEntity');

  I was expecting a list of all child entities such as hosts, dc, cluster... But I have only the immediate child object which is only the Datacenter as my result.

  Is it possible to get all hosts and vCenter folder level Clusters because I need the entire list to vCenter (highest level).

  Other info:
  

  Object file has only two properties:

  1 childEntity - list of entities

  2 childType in-kind folder ('Virtual Machine', 'Data center'...)

  Is it possible to write a constraint specifying which list of childEntities I need using childType in.

  Example: Make Me childEntities that has a 'Host' and 'Cluster' childType but childType in doesn't have these two types.

  In addition, at this level, I could see the 'Associated objects' tab which has all the information I need, such as Clusters and Cluster tab hosts and host tab respectively.

  So, I think its possible to get this list to vCenter folder level.

  I have attached a screenshot representing the need. Kindly ignore the Conventions of naming in there since I edited the example comes with the sdk program.

  
  

  Query:

  1. How can I get the host and Cluster (table of relationship) list to vCenter folder level or even at the level of the vise.global.view?

  2. once I get this list, is it possible for me to manipulate that list and send the new list to IU?

  3. is there another way to do the same thing without the help of model classes and mediator?
  

  
  

  Pointers to this will be very useful.
  

  It is not possible to obtain all hosts a folder specific vCenter from a single query Data Manager.  You need to get the list of centers of data first and then get a list of data center hosts.

  It is best to make these repeated requests to the java level and return only the list that you want to the user interface.

  You can get all the objects in the host of the system with a simple query using a constraint with targetType = 'HostSystem', but you will need to eliminate those from other vCenter servers.  See how this chassis example queries all hosts the Java later in the getHosts() method: samples/chassis-app/chassisRackVSphere-service/src/main/java/com/vmware/samples/chassisRackVSphere/ChassisRackVSphereDataAdapter.java

  Another option is to use the vSphere Web Services SDK to browse vCenter. See the vSphere management forum for help on these APIs.  See this plugin of the sample using this SDK

• Configure the host and the VM on two separate wireless networks

  Hello community, I was a browser for a long time, but this will be my first post.

  I would like to begin by saying that I have always found the answer I was looking for by browsing these forums and that I browsed discussions thereon and consulted the chapters regarding virtual networks in the manual workstation 7.1, but at this stage were still unable to solve my problem.

  The scenario:

  I'm a small business working in a House (upstairs) / hookah lounge (bottom). We recently had a second internet connection (WORK), Internet home of my family (HOME), to provide our customers with a free wi - fi. I would use the connection of WORK (during our hours of downtime) in a Ubuntu VM for folding and seeding of torrents. I want to put this far on a network traffic will not affect the other.

  The network:

  SE host: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  (Host) NIC: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (Mini PCI)

  VM: Ubuntu 10.04 on VMWare Workstation 7.0.0 build-203739

  NIC (VM): Alfa awus036h (USB)

  
  

  The current configuration:

  Network connection is made, the State of replication physical physical network is unchecked.

  The Alfa is connected to the virtual machine and is no longer present on the list of the network adapters in Windows.

  It seems that I have to manually disable the "auto eth 1" interface or the virtual machine using the internet connection in host rather than the network of your choice that the Alfa connects to in VMWorkstation. The speed of the internet with eth auto 1 is connected is quick and consistent, but using it defeats the purpose. Strangely, when I go to network connections, under the "last use" for "eth 1 auto ' it is said 'never '.

  When "eth 1 car" is disconnected, it seems that the virtual machine uses the network wireless connected to the Alfa. But the internet speed is very slow and inconsistent. On downloads, the speed varies considerably; Also, it remains at 0 kb/s for a while before going to 80 KB/s, then works his way down to 0 kb/s again.

  Possible solutions:

  1. it's a driver problem for the Alfa inside the VM environment all this time?

  2 just misunderstood how to set up this kind of virtual network?

  3 is it possible to get the desired configuration by filling the WORK and VMnet0/1/8?

  * Note: Only VMnet1 and VMnet8 appear on the Windows network connections, however isn't VMnet0 bridged one responsible for networking?

  4. upgrade to the current version of the desktop would be useful?

  5. do this problem originally because of some settings on the router?

  * Note: The AP is close enough to provide a signal strength of 85-90%

  Sorry to be so talkative, I just wanted to be as clear as possible because I'm still a beginner to learn more about virtualization.

  Thank you in advance, as always, your help is greatly appreciated.

  First of all, I must say that when I did this last response, I've been on my Mac and I thought the configuration of a host of Windows XP however outside the nomenclature of the names of the host network settings dialog box the rest stands as it is on a host Windows 7 as described below, including a picture as an attachment.

  On a Windows 7 x 64 host with two network adapters, each on a different subnet and VMware Workstation 7.1.3 installed with the editor of virtual computer network configured for VMnet0 and VMnet2 jumpered separately to one of the host of NIC and I have not changed the settings for Windows 7 host NIC-1 and have network/Internet connectivity to the host of this NETWORK adapter as shown in the picture of Google in Internet Explorer on the host computer.  In VMware Workstation 7.1.3 I have a Linux Guest configured to use VMnet2, which is filled in the settings and the Windows 7 host NIC-2 have all with the exception of VMware Bridge Protocol unchecked and have network/Internet connectivity in the guest as indicated by Google in a browser.

  From the perspective of connectivity network between the host and the guest by NIC - 2 on the host computer when all with the exception of VMware Bridge Protocol unchecked there is no connectivity between the two on this subnet because there are no protocol at stake to allow the conversation to take place.

  So theoretically and in practice what I said previously, but didn't were not expressly with a Windows 7 host in mind, nevertheless what I said is true and accurate, as evidenced by world real test/use by what I said and with the image attached herein.

  FWIW Windows 7 has been configured with the default settings and the only changes to the host's network were those made during the installation of VMware Workstation 7.1.3 so with the configuration I discussed with the attached picture, there is no reason why the host and the guest cannot be on different physical networks and each network/Internet connectivity based on the information I have provided and they be isolated from each other by being on separate physical networks.

  That said, even if they can be isolated by being on separate physical networks can still can connectivity between the 2 through VMware shared folders it it turned on and of course & slide and other services so if absolute isolation is necessary to the point where it can be, and the guest still operating system run on a Virtual Machine in the host you would need to disable the Backdoor for VMware Tools cannot provide shared folders on VMware, & glide and other services.  So if you need this isolation level let me know and I will provide additional information to complete it.

• Save and VCenter Plugin

  Hi all

  To make it fast:

  We have recently changed all the infrastructure, including a new inverter: http://www.dellups.com/solutionUSS_list.asp?SOLID=793120&ResellerIDCode=1 (1920w).

  We had a critical VMware edition more (with a Vcenter) and wanted to use would SAVE it to manage the correct closing of the VMS ESX hosts.

  Would save is installed on the same VM as the Vcenter, windows firewall is disabled (Vcenter default ports are used).

  The main problem is when we add the Vcenter virtualization module (connection I tried with domain\user or user@domain).

  We can see this error in the log file:

  Type:	Error
  Module:	VMwareWebService
  Message:	Error on the VMware login process
  Details:	Host 'Vcenter.xxx.lan': Session is not authenticated.

  The Vcenter plugin has never appeared in the Vcenter.

  Any good idea how to solve this problem is welcome... There were no suggestions or details about this error.

  (I can give more details if it helps)

  A.Giraud,

  I have the same issue using VCenter 5.1 and I use the Dell Economiserait on a VM RC2 in Windows Server 2008 software.

  After struggling for 2 days, I finally called both VMware and Dell technical are supported.  Dell said that it is a known issue with VMware Vcenter 5.1 integration and AD.  They are currently working on a solution to this problem.  If someone else got the software would save to work with VCenter 5.1please carillon because as it is now he wouldn't be able to get around reported by Dell.

• Host and guest of the machines on different physical networks

  Hello everyone.  I would wise advice from the forum, about a particular environment, I am trying to set up.

  I have VMware Server 2 installed on my XP laptop, which is connected to a DSL modem via a NIC edge portable said has also a PCMCIA NETWORK card installed in it.

  I would like to take a virtual XP workstation and connect to a modem cable via the PCMCIA NIC for test connection hosts and guests safe through the public internet.  For this exercise, I need two machines to be completely separate and therefore have no way to reach or in interaction with each other anyway, except through the extended link.

  What follows is a list of what I've done so far.  I would like to know if there is anything I missed.  Perhaps more measures must be taken that I'm not aware of.

  Thanks in advance for your collective time.

  (1) disabled all services associated with the PCMCIA NIC on the host computer, including TCP/IP, except the VMware Bridge Protocol.

  2) welded by the mentioned back PCMCIA NIC to VMnet2 via VMware Virtual Network Editor.

  (3) excluded the NETWORK PCMCIA card automatic connection via the virtual network Editor.

  (4) set up the virtual ethernet device of the instance XP comments use the custom VMnet2 network.

  (5) set the property 'NetworkAddress' of the network connection in the case of XP from comments to the MAC address of the PCMCIA NIC by step seven of the next mission - http://communities.vmware.com/message/378576;jsessionid=034FC6E865C0DB28AD269D7445F2AD0D

  PS - How could these measures differ for a guest computer to Linux (openSUSE 11), especially step 5 in my list above?

  Welcome to the forums!

  IMHO, I think you have done all that was required. I don't know why your step 5 is necessary or if it will be same cause problem. "Bridged" means that the customer acts as its own instance on the network, which includes a discreet addresses MAC and IP, from my point of view. Affecting the MAC guest host MAC is not necessary for the connection of standard bridge, so why if it is necessary here? In addition, you can set any MAC address that you like for a VMware guest. There are restrictions, once again setting the host MAC address in the guest can cause problems.

  You can find the VMware documentation on how to do it here: Page 240, http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf

  There is also something on definition of MAC addresses: Page 234

• Workstation 9 - slow network performance between the host and guest

  I am running windows 8 on the host and installed by 9 trial. Then installed windows 8.1 as a comment system.

  I'm a slow, very slow network between the two.

  If I send files to and from the computer with another guest, transfers are normal, but if I try the same files between the host and the guest, they are really slow.

  I use a bridge connection.

  I read elseware to disable the following on the guest card:

  Large Send Offload v2 (IPv6)

  But that did not help.

  Thoughts?

  Maybe then try Hyper-v, it help you better.

• Bridged networking: host and invited him IPs?

  Topology: physical router (IP 192.168.1.25/24) connects to the host (IP 192.168.1.1/24) run a virtual machine (IP 192.168.1.2/24).

  Question: using cargo network, the virtual machine cannot connect through physical NIC in the host to the router - all are on the same subnet.

  I use network bridge to connect to a virtual server to a physical network, but I'm confused about which IP addresses in use on the map the host's physical NETWORK and virtual NIC the guest to my knowledge, as well the host physical NIC and virtual NETWORK card of the guest OS must be on the same subnet. If I assign 192.168.1.1/24 to the physical NETWORK adapter on the machine host and 192.168.1.2/24 to the virtual NETWORK adapter inside my guest operating system virtual (using network properties), the guest operating system must therefore able to communicate with the outside real network. But it may not. However, I have noticed that if I use "Obtain an IP address automatically" for my NIC host, it is assigned an automatic address 169.254.1.1 (an APIPA address). My virtual network adapter has been assigned the address 192.168.1.2/24 inside my guest operating system. And it can communicate with a router that the host computer is connected to an address of interface of 192.168.1.25/24. That makes no sense.

  My understanding is that when using bridged networking, the guest operating system has a virtual NETWORK adapter that connects to a virtual switch (VMnet0). The host operating system has a real physical NETWORK adapter that connects to the virtual switch (VMnet0). Then, it follows that the host's physical NETWORK and virtual guest NIC card must be assigned in the same subnet IP addresses to communicate? However, as stated, with these settings the guest operating system cannot communicate through physical NETWORK card from the host to the outside world. But when I assign physical NETWORK adapter of the host, an automatic address (when ends up being 169.254.1.1 when checked with ipconfig), work of communication. Can someone explain this?  Thank you very much!

  I asked you to try this... you do not have.

  Eagle server running a DHCP server, but the host PC needs to get an IP address before it connects.

  You can't run a DHCP server as a guest (fedora) and serve as the host. You must use a fixed IP address, which is reserved for the host and the host running the dhcp server.

  No VLAN is used (except 1 VLAN by default of course). There is no security or MAC filtering on the server of the Eagle.

  VLAN is not supported in Server 2, with the exception of the static (based port).

• Debian 5.0 host and Client, network problems

  I have a system Debian 5 (Lenny) as a host for VMware Server 2.0.1 with a configuration ethernet servile (bond0 with Robin balancing).

  This host is the ping requests etc. without problem by any computer in the network and vice versa. This host gets its IP address of a DHCP server and appears very well.

  On this host, I run a virtual client, also Debian 5 (Lenny), with an ethernet in Bridge mode connection.

  This host gets its IP from DHCP Windows without problem and is also listed correct

  The host can ping the client without problems. The client cannot ping the host: ping packets 1 in 10 get through.

  Same story for ping any other computer on the network and vice versa (ping the virtual client from any computer).

  A very small amount of packets through. Can someone help me?

  I'll give you the basic information (see images) for host and virtual client.

  I thought back to a NETWORK card to check that your installation works in general. If this is the case, we can try to get the liaison work.

• The upgrade of our guests 5.0 ESXi and vCenter Server 5 and 5.5 Enterprise Plus

  We are the 4 upgrade hosts of ESXi 5 to 5.5

  We add 4 more guests with own ESXi 5.5 installed

  We are also upgrading our vCS 5 in the vCSA 5.5

  Using Enterprise + licenses

  Question: I'm trying to understand the best way to achieve this transition.  4 guests run about 100 virtual machines and 4 guests we add are clean slates.

  That's what I think... Please help me guys

  1. once the 4 new hosts are installed in the Datacenter clean running ESXi 5.5 I will deploy the vCSA ovf and register 4 guests with the Linux-based device.

  2. now, I have 4 new 5.5 ESXi hosts registered and running with vCSA 5.5 but I still have my old 4 guests with ESXi 5 and registered to the old vCS about 100 virtual machines running WIndows

  3. at this point I think stop on my older hosts 4 virtual machines and remove them from the vCenter Server inventory Windows and everything just their registration with the new vCSA

  4. Will be all my virtual machines or transferred with the hosts if I close them and put the hosts in maintenance mode?

  5. now, I should have all 8 guests registered with my new vCSA.  But the original 4 hosts have yet to be upgraded to ESXi 5.5

  6 move 100 virtual machines to the new 4 hosts running ESXi 5.5 and upgraded the 4 former hosts.

  7. now, I should have 8 guests with ESXi 5.5 using the vCSA

  See you soon!

  Pretty much.

  To make things easier, you can deploy the EGGS for vCSA in your current vCenter (if I remember correctly import an OVA using vCenter allows you to set certain options that should be set to the vCSA shell). After making sure that the vCSA online & configured, you can then install ESXi on all your new hosts, add them to a cluster in the vCSA and put a few trials of virtual machines on there to confirm the network setting is configured correctly. Once it's done (and assuming that the old and the new hosts use the same shared storage) you can stop the vCSA, remove it stock Windows vCS, please write it on one of your new hosts and turn on. You have now two environments (5.0 and 5.5). Next if you disconnect a host from 5.0 vCS (with virtual machines running on it), you can then connect it to the vCSA 5.5. Assuming that the vSwitchs standard networking of the exchanges that are the same name in both environments, you now can vMotion VMs between host 5.0 and 5.5 cluster. At this time, you can repeat with all remaining hosts until everything has been made the transition without service interruption. This will leave a lot of old objects in your old 5.0 vCS, but if that is getting trashed it isn't a big deal.
