• vShield manager cannot see some virtual guests

  Recently, we have built a new vSphere 5.1 environment and installing vShield endpoint Manager 5.1.2 - 943471.

  Installed the endpoint on the hosts and the Kapersky Security Appliances to each host. I started to migrate virtual environment 4.1 existing to the new environment.

  
  

  Improved vmware tools in the virtual machine as part of the process and removed the existing antivirus checker. The endpoint vSheild Manager reports that the thin driver is installed on all but a few virtual methods that are not reported by the slim agent vShield as Manager. They are listed in the left column, but when you look at the endpoint events that are not like the others? Before you begin to migrate all about I need to be certain that all virtual methods at least are protected.

  
  

  I checked each guest to ensure that the driver has been installed and running using msinfo32 and are looking for the driver vfilefilter it checked good also I can confirm that virtual methods are running supported SCSI adapters. Something else to check?

  Just a update for it tried a few other servers and they they also have same problem. Have uninstalled and reinstalled vmware tools with the vshield driver installed, but still do not see the virtual server.

  Kind regards

• New local VIRTUAL, guest network cannot Ping GW

  It's driving me crazy... Added a new VIRTUAL local network we have done several times. Switches, routers and firewall to see all new VLAN and can ping GW without problem. The host can also ping the nVLAN GW, but guests cannot. However, if I add another guest to the same group of port they can ping each other (as long as they are on the same host), but nothing about the port group can ping the GW. So far, I have:

  -Even once, verified full connectivity to the new VLAN between all physical devices (trunks, etherchannel, etc. are all good)

  -Number checked on the port group VLAN

  -Checked host sees the VLAN

  -Removed and readded vSwitch port group

  -Home charged

  -Removed and readded comments nic (I tried E1000 and VMXNET3)

  -Deleted then recreated the VLAN

  Any other ideas?

  Is the new VIRTUAL local area network in the list of VLANS allowed on physical switch used uplinks ports the vSwitch?

• behavior of vSwitch in Virtual Switch Tagging (VST mode)

  Hello

  I have a problem with a vSwitch within an ESX 4 environment.

  On my vSwitch is a virtual network, where the port group has been linked to a defined VLANID, so for a real-world scenario, a physical switch has a port configured in access with a predefined VLANID 8021q mode.

  In my scenario the port configured in this way can receive frames already labeled (the generic behavior is that the port receives the unmarked frames). An access of a switch port generally accepts executives 8021 consistent q If the vlanID is the same as configured in its behavior (t - it - Cisco http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/configuration/guide/cli_rel_4_0_1a/AccessTrunk.html), otherwise the switch removes them.

  VMware says this:

  "Switch ports group virtual tags all outbound frames and removes the tags for all incoming frames." It also ensures that the frames on a VLAN do not leak in one VLAN different. »

  OK I agree with this, but if the virtual switch receives a frame already tagged (with the right tag) must be just to not let him down, as Cisco?

  The switch ports group virtual tags all outbound frames and removes the tags for all incoming frames. It also ensures that the frames on a VLAN do not leak in one VLAN different.

  Now, I also checked the actions for the ordinary vSwitch:

  A virtual machine sends frames unmarked on a portgroup with a specified VLAN id (for example, 300) = works

  A virtual machine sends tagged frames (VLAN 300) on a portgroup with the same VLAN id specified (for example, 300) = failed

  A virtual machine is sending of tagged frames (for example, 300) on a portgroup with VLAN 4095 specified = works

  A virtual machine sends frames unmarked on a portgroup with VLAN 4095 specified = fail

  If the vSwitch behavior is very similar to the distributed vSwitch, that it does not accept any marking made by the virtual machine in regular trade, even if it is the VLAN correct. If affecting portgroup VLAN 4095 it throws frames marked, very likely because we cannot specify any "VLAN native. I think that's the answer to your original question.

• Reverse the converter?  Moving the OS to host the virtualized guest OS

  I'm new to the forum and apologize me if this has been covered before.  I am also a novice with the VMWare tools if I can't be using the right conditions.  I have a desktop with XP as OS virtualized.  I need to make the host OS - one that loads when the computer is turned on.  Is this possible?

  I tried to launch Acronis guest speakers in the BONE to create an image.  I then restored it to a newly formatted hard drive.  I expect XP would start and tell me that some of the equipment had changed.  However, I see a fatal error, shortly after the start of the boot process.

  Any ideas are appreciated.

  Thank you!

  What is a Stop 7B (INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE)? If it disappears too quickly then press F8 before the start of starts and select restart automatically in case of error.

  If it's a 7 b, what is the disk controller for the boot on your physical Inbox disk? Probably missing a few entries of "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase.  It might work if you merge this key of a physical work XP on the same hardware. Would also need the drivers for the storage controller which you might be able to install in the virtual machine before you picture out.

• Fortinet virtual with tagging VLAN

  Hi all

  in fact I do tests with the appliance of virtual firewall from Fortinet. These device have 10 virtual NIC

  The Fortinet vm can manage the VLAN different on a single port "physical."

  How can I set more than one VLAN on a Port, VM-is it possible?

  Objective:

  -A virtual firewall to several VLANS

  -VM-customers with different VM Server VLAN different.

  I hope someone have some experience with vm-Fortinet a VMWare

  Roger

  Hi Roger,

  It is indeed very easy to achieve. We have many implementations of similar to this:

  1. create a GROUP of ports on your vSwitch or dvSwitch Called "Fortinet Trunk" or something similar

  2 change the PortGroup and change the VLAN to "VLAN Trunking", in the "VLAN Trunk Range" field enter all them VLAN, you will need

  3. on your Fortinet device assign one of the interfaces to the "trunk Fortinet"

  4. on the interfaces under Setup of Fortinet for each virtual local area network

  5 create a new Port Group for each VIRTUAL local area network, modify the PortGroup to include the VLAN ID (your virtual machines will sit on it)

  This should be everything you need to get this up and running, any questions or problems please let me know. I can help more if necessary.

  Hello

  It work certenly with the root user, but it is possible to allow the change with the user from the Group of the root. Behind the two cmdlets, there are two perl scripts that you can find in the folder C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\Scripts\. The scripts are GetVmGuestNetworkInterface_LinuxGuest and SetVMGuestNetworkInterface_LinuxGuest.

  The Get script reads the configuration from/etc/sysconfig/network-script / ifcfg * deposits and also run the ifconfig command. A small observation on sharp file permissions shows that the get cmdlet will work with the user to the root group.

  The game script written in the configuration in sysconfig files /, so you should give permission to write to the root group if you want to use another user.

  The Linux box in our test environment is RedHat Enterprise 5

• External Tagginng switch vs Virtual Switch Tagging

  Hello guys,.

  I'm really confused about these modes of two configurations and their uses / consequences.

  Say you have four natachasery and configure the vSwitches in the following way:

  • a vswitch with service console port group (vmotion) vmkernel port group and group of ports defined VM and four natachasery in annex

  All three services (SC, vmotion and vmtraffic) are in the same network (e.g.: 192.168.1.X), so all the natachasery is attached to the physical integrity go to this VLAN.

  In this scenario, I guess I'll use IS, right? I have to configure something in the physical switch (like the 4 natachasery trunking)? Or just nic teaming four cards in the vswitch network is enough? Or both?

  =======================================================================================================

  Now say you have 6 natachasery and configure the vSwitches in the following way:

  • a vswitch with defined service console port group and two natachasery in the annex

  • a vswitch with Group of ports vmkernel (vmotion) and two natachasery defined in annex

  • a vswitch with Group of vm ports and two natachasery defined in annex

  Each service has its own network, but now you have the production and DMZ VM.

  In this scenario, I guess I'll have to do the following (get ready cause its really confusing, at least for me):

  (1) set two NICs in the pswitch, firstly in the vlan management and in the nic vswitch team these two network cards. If you use felt

  (2) attach the second pair of NICs in the pswtich, in the vlan vmotion and nic vswitch team these two network cards. If you use felt

  (3) fix the last pair of network adapters in the pswitch to two ports that don't have any definied vlan on it and then to create two groups of ports in the vswitch: one for the VM of the production and the other for VM DMZ, marking with the right VLAN ID and nic team these two network cards. If you use the VST.

  Edit: I realized that I could simplify the second scenario, saying that the three services would be in the same vswitch with 6 natachasery attached to it, but with four networks. And fix these 6 cards in the pswitch with no VLAN defined in these 6 ports.

  As you can see, I'm pretty new in this kind of things, so, if I'm wrong to speak of something (or all), I'm sorry.

  I have attached two Dummies to try to be more clear.

  Excuse me for my English

  Post edited by: brian_plank

  In the first scenario, you are right.  No obligation to trunk.  On the other hand, I myself prefer to use trunks for all my connections, with all of my virtual local networks available on all of my trunks.  In this way, if I need to spend my autour natachasery, ever, I can do without the participation of network.  If you yourself control the network, then this isn't a problem.  Of course, this is not required, the way you have your first scenario presented will work fine.  And by the trunk, I mean a 802. 1 q trunk in terms of cisco, as opposed to a trunk in terms of HP, which would be an aggregation of links 802.3ad.

  In scenario 2, only the vSwitch vm network exchanges where you need multiple VLANs is where you need the trunk.  Make sure just that the VLAN native on this trunk is different.  In addition, you need to configure the ports as an access port (which means that the port will be part of a single VLAN) for the management VLANs, or a trunk with several port VLAN allowed.  Other than that, there should be no problem with VLAN marked and unmarked.  I use them all the time.

• dVS health check warnings in double entries - not supported

  Why are there duplicate entries for the same physical adapter on my monitor of health dVS?

  How can I get rid of these warnings?

  I checked all the configuration on both side of the virtual and physical switch.  There is no special VLANS allowed, MTU and all hash IP load balanced but I still get error and warning messages.

  

  5.5 ESXi web interface.

  Yes. Assuming that your group of port is set to "VLAN Trunking" for virtual guest tagging (VGT), you can configure several beaches and VLAN individual using a list separated by commas on the port group. This will set the VLAN allowed and hopefully limit them VLAN are controlled by the health check.

  I'm not sure that you can limit the check if you use VLAN 4095 (fancy way of saying the host trunk all the VLANS) or a range of VLAN Trunking 1-4094.

  You can also use the health check for all net-new ports / hosts, make sure that the list of supported VLAN meets your expectations and then turn off state of health until the next time that you need to make a change.

• ID VLAN 4095 on a portgroup?

  What is the meaning of the parameter VLAN id 4095 on a portgroup to a virtual machine?

  Wouldn't be a port where all them VLAN is sent to? If so, will be the 802. 1 q tag be left on the chassis during delivery of the virtual machine?

  That's right, also known as the VGT (Virtual Guest Tagging) where the VM will remove the VLAN tag vesus the vSwitch

• Access to the operation of the virtual machine guest inside the work-6: 5 on the Internet

  Hi friends,

  I can access virtual (guest computers) running in VMware Workstation 6.5 - 7 on the Internet with vnc viewer? OR with another method.

  Means I want to VM is accessible on the Internet either through "mstsc" (RDP) or "vnc viewer" / If there is another way to do it then pl can help me... "."

  Rishi Sharma | MCSA (Messaging), MCSE, RHCE, virtualization

  The free is enough, just register, install Logmein, add your virtual machine to your account and immediately, you can manage your VM via internet from anywhere. But of course, Pro version included more features. See the comparison

  If you want something more technical, then get:

  (Internet-> IP / domain-> router-> VM)

  1 - IP (dynamic IP use freedns.afraid.org to resolve the field fixed

  2 - port forward on your router for RDP / VNC port to your internal VM (use to recommend different port)

  Note: To add a kind of secure access to your rdp/vnc connection, you can use "openvpn". To do this, you need to port your VPN port forward rather RDP/VNC port so lazy to install, you get just appliance here openvpn server and run it from your desktop/server VMware.
