• Cannot connect or ping to the host of the virtual machine of the DMZ or VPN

  Hello

  I'm trying to convert a physical machine to a virtual using the Converter Standalone Client.

  The machine that I am trying to convert is in a DMZ and is not a member of the domain.

  I installed the client, but it could not connect to host. I started to run tests and found that I can ping any machine on my local network on this computer in the DMZ outside the virtual machine host.  I got the firewall set to open completely (for the test) and that did not help either.

  I noticed a similar problem over the weekend when I VPN from home but couldn't connect using the Infrastructure Client or ping to my host, despite me being able to ping and connect to any computer on my network...

  I don't see anything in the config of ESXi that relates to this, and I am at a loss.

  And finally, I continue to see sites with linux commands to run in the ESX box to perform tasks, but I don't see how I run these. I have the cli installed, but it won't let me run some scripts .pl in the directory "/ bin" while I continue to see cited normal linux commands.

  Thanks (again)

  The extent of the lack of connectivity, it seems associated network/firewall. Out of the box nothing in ESXi should prevent communication if properly configured. I guess that since you can connect in some places that the connection is good and an appropriate IP address assigned to the interface.

  I would check your firewall rules to be sure nothing is blocked. Don't know what kind of firewall you use so no this cant of detail out of direct suggestions.

  Secondly, regarding the execution of orders, most of these commands you see is for full blown ESX. Out of the box, ESXi has a limited number of advanced features. The main difference in ESXi 3.5 and ESX is that ESXi is not a full blown service console to limit so task that you can perform.

• I had the opportunity to see all the drives in windows 7 and XP virtual machine on the same screen. He suddenly disappeared, and I need.

  As I set up my computer with Windows 7 Professional and XP virtual machine, I could see all the readers, W7 and the virtual machine on the same screen. I can't do now for some reason any. All I can understand what is is past is that I got a page long list of automatic updates of W7 and some XP updates and as far as I know, the current page of readers has disappeared since then.  I need this feature if I can transfer files between W7 and XP because some of my programs are in one program of windows. I have nothing special when I installed XP to achieve this functionality, so I really don't understand what it controls.  How can I get that back?

  I have solved my problem by trying everything that moves. Here are my steps:
  -Open Virtual PC and minimize it
  -In the Windows 7 machine, click Start click all programs
  -Select Windows Virtual PC
  -Select Windows Virtual PC (in the drop-down list)
  -When the window opens, right-click on Windows XP Mode
  -Select share >
  -Select the homegroup (read/write)

  -Minimized open Virtual PC
  -Select my computer
  Windows 7 disks will be under other

  I hope this works for you also. As I said, it worked like this until I had a huge list of automatic updates of Windows 7 and XP more some updates. Apparently, one of them cut something.

• Let me know scenarios when different virtual machines with the same UUID are created in VMware Hypervisors?

  Let me know scenarios when different virtual machines with the same UUID created in VMware Hypervisors, aside from editing the .vmx file?

  The only other way I've seen is when you manually copy the virtual machine to another location on the data store (or another data store) and then when turn on/off the virtual machine, select I moved, rather that I copied it (the default option).  This will keep the same UUID.

• Cpu for vm resource stocks are much lower than the virtual machine in the list of resources

  I move a virtual machine from a PR, but I got this warning

  

  I checked and there was no reserve on the virtual machine and the destination THAT RP is set to Unlimited and expandable reservation

  any idea?

  See: VMware KB: the movement of virtual machines between resource pools triggered the warning: percentage of Incorrect CPU

• Error: "VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full."

  I get this error message:

  VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full. To continue, free 1.3 GB of additional disk space.

  I read up on the subject and found that I have to re size a partition. Anyone know what it could be? I can't find anything that looks like it has something to do with VMware. Does anyone know what size and what file system is it?

  My OS:
  Tumbleweed OpenSUSE x 64

  Thanks in advance

  On more creative, my home and root file systems were not extended to my full disk space :^)

• Put virtual machines inside the VMkernel port group

  Hello

  Network for administrators of VMware SIAS layout:

  "You can not put VMs within that group of port because it is made especially for a VMkernel port."

  However, I use ESXi 5.5 and is able to put normal interface of VM inside the vmk port group. (I only created 1 vmk port group so all virtual machines in the same group with the vmkernel interface)

  May I know if this is a new feature, or something is wrong?

  Thank you!

  This may be possible with distributed switches not with standard switches.

• Hang a new virtual machine to the Internet

  All virtual machines that I downloaded connect to internet automatically when I their fire upwards. I downloaded a new machine virtual de VulnHub, specifically BrainPan2. It does not connect to the internet automatically even if it is supposed to. It's a vulnerable VM installation for security penetration testing. Now, I start my VM Kali, do a scan of the network and see all my computers. I'll start a VM unrelated, rerun the scan and check the other appears. Now I launch BrainPan, run the scan and nothing. I don't see on the scan.

  I read several guides associated with the virtual BrainPan2 of the internet machine, and everyone seems to be able to plug in and go. On the site of the BrainPan: 'import brainpan2.ova into your privileged hypervisor and configure the settings of the network to your needs. It will get an IP via DHCP, but it is recommended that run you to the breast of a NAT or visible by the host only operating system because it is vulnerable to attack."

  So, I put the virtual machine to run on NAT, connected by a bridge and also host. I can't detect the virtual machine by any means, it just is not auto-connect. And I can not connect and plug it as he did to hack.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Hi John,.

  I'm using the regular VMware Fusion, not Fusion Pro. Fusion Pro is a virtual network editor that could help; I do not know. Just for fun, I downloaded BrainPan2 VM, and it worked only. Here are the steps I took:

  • Go to Brainpan: 2 ~ VulnHub
  • Click Download, which exposes the download link.
  • Download the file brainpan2.zip and unzip it.
  • Check the integrity of the downloaded file brainpan2.ova. In terminal, type 'openssl sha1', and then drag the file brainpan2.ova to the Terminal to fill in the full path of the brainpan2.ova file. Press return. Compare the sha1 hash in the terminal with one on the web page of the BrainPan. If they do not match, try again download.
  • Open VMware Fusion 8 and choose file-> import. Drag the file brainpan2.ova to the window. Click on the button continue and save the converted virtual machine. VMware Fusion will display a progress bar as it converts the file .ova. It took a few minutes on my Mac. Once the conversion is completed, you will see a window Finished.
  • Click Customize settings.
  • As part of the network card, select private to my Mac.
  • Start the virtual machine of BrainPan2. I don't bother to upgrade the hardware. You will see a login prompt, which I ignored. The BrainPan2 virtual machine will get an IP address from the DHCP server on VMware virtual network.

  Optional:

  • Open the BrainPan2.vmwarevm file in the Finder. Right-click to display the contents of the package. Open the vmware.log with a text editor like BBEdit or TextWrangler or even TextEdit. Search for "192.168" and you will find two entries to the VMware virtual networks. On my system, the private sector in my Mac network was vmnet1 to 192.168.166. * (I guess that the other network is the "share with my Mac" NAT.) He was appointed vmnet8.)
  • Close the log file.

  Instead of Kali Linux, I used one of my virtual machines in OS X, because it was very convenient. (My Kali Linux virtual machine are saved on an external drive). The virtual machine of OS X I used runs El Capitan, but any version of Mac OS X.

  • Take a snapshot of the OS X machine for two reasons: (1) to maintain its normal parameters and (2) because I don't trust the BrainPan2 virtual machine to not attack the OS X machine on the VLAN.
  • After the snapshot set network configuration of the virtual machine of the OS X private to my Mac, so that it is on the same virtual network as the virtual machine of BrainPan2.
  • Start Mac virtual machine. In the terminal, type "ifconfig en0" to see its IP address on the local network deprived of VMware. There are other ways to find the IP address, of course. My virtual machine to OS X has been awarded 192.168.166.129, so I figured though the virtual machine of BrainPan2 has been assigned to 192.168.166.128, which proved to be just.
  • If it is not already installed, download nmap or Zenmap or tools of everything that you need. A Kali Linux preinstalled.
  • Run a scan of the LAN ping. Example: ' nmap - sn 192.168.166. * "you should see the virtual switch to 192.168.x.1, your virtual Kali Linux or OS X machine and the virtual machine of BrainPan2 (mine was 192.168.166.128 as I suspected). The virtual machine BrainPan2 responds to the pings.
  • At this point, I ran a scan of port of the virtual machine of BrainPan2. Not wishing to spoil your fun, I will only say that I found the open ports on the BrainPan2 virtual machine.

  Don't forget to restore your virtual machine OS X (or Kali Linux) to the previous snapshot once you are done with BrainPan2, if nothing else, but to restore access to the Internet by moving out of virtual private LAN.

  I hope this helps. Please let us know if you are able to make it work. I hate to write solutions and then never discover what happens then.

• List of virtual machines in the data store that is not in stock

  Hi guys

  PowerCLI rookie here, sorry for the stupid questions.

  I'm trying to clean up a bunch of singehost with local data warehouses. So I need a script that can display a list of files of virtual machine on a data store that is not used by VMs in the inventory. One of the problems is that the files on the data store, isn't every means, named exactly the same as the virtual machine in the inventory.

  Summer watching this, but I think the term "orphan" is "sent, in my view, it is:

  https://communities.VMware.com/thread/266913

  Also it is - this one, I think that I should be able to change it to do what I want:

  http://www.wooditwork.com/2011/08/11/adding-VMX-files-to-vCenter-inventory-with-PowerCLI-gets-even-easier/

  Any tips or hints to push me in the right direction would be appreciated.

  Please try:

  $AllFilesLocalDatastore = get-data store 'localdatastorename ' | Get-fileindatastore

  $FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs = get-FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs

  #The two functions above are available here http://thecrazyconsultant.com/find-orphaned-vmdk-files-workflow/

  Check the contents of the two variables for example with VGO or export-csv

• PowerCLI Script to migrate virtual machines with the same network Source for the new vCenter Server.

  Hi all

  I checked a few posts on the migration to the new vCenter Server virtual machine. But I'm not very good with Powercli and need some help here.

  We have a new vCenter server where we migrate virtual machines from one source vCenter server. Here are two things that I don't know how to connect together to make sure that bwfore we turn on the virtual machine to the virtual machine is connected to its source network.

  Part 1 - this script works well but do not get any network on the vCenter destination.

  cluster = Get-Cluster "clusterA.

  $inventory = get-Cluster $cluster | Get - VM | Add-Member - MemberType ScriptProperty-name "VMXPath" - value {$this.extensiondata.config.files.vmpathname}-Passthru-Force | Select-Object Name ResourcePool, folder, VMXPath |

  $inventory | Export-Csv c:\file.csv

  $inventory = import-csv c:\file.csv

  $cluster = get-group 'b '.

  {foreach ($vm to $inventory)

  $ESXHost = get-Cluster $cluster | Get-VMHost | Select - 1 first

  New-VM - VMFilePath $vm. VMXPath - VMHost $ESXHost - location $vm. Folder - ResourcePool (Get-Cluster $cluster |) Get-ResourcePool $vm. ResourcePool)

  }

  Part 2 - I want to preserve the Portgroup macaddress and the Ip of the virtual computers and connect them to the new vCenter. How can I do this with the script below. Or how can I combine them together?

  $vm_list = get-Cluster-name "clustera | Get - VM test * | Name sort

  $information = {foreach ($vm to $vm_list)

  $network_adapter_information = get-NetworkAdapter - VM $vm

  $vm | Select Name,PowerState,ResourcePool,@{N="Path; E=       {$_. ExtensionData.Summary.Config.VmPathName}},@{N="NetworkAdapter '; E = {[string]: join (":", ($network_adapter_information |))} %{$_. {{(Nom + "," + _.NetworkName $}))}}, @{N = "MacAddress"; E = {[string]: join (",", ($network_adapter_information | % {$_.}))} MacAddress}))}}

  }

  Step 2

  # Unsubscribe virtual machines

  Remove-VM - VM $vm_list-RunAsync Verbose - confirm: $false

  Step 3

  $cluster = get-group 'b '.

  {foreach ($vm to $inventory)

  $ESXHost = get-Cluster $cluster | Get-VMHost | Select - 1 first

  New-VM - VMFilePath $vm. VMXPath - VMHost $ESXHost - location $vm. Folder - ResourcePool (Get-Cluster $cluster |) Get-ResourcePool $vm. ResourcePool)

  }

  # Save virtual machines

  foreach ($info in $information)

  {

  $vmxpath = $info. Path

  $resource_pool = $info. ResourcePool.Name

  New-VM - ResourcePool (ResourcePool-Get-name $resource_pool) VMFilePath - $vmxpath - RunAsync-Verbose | Out-Null

  }

  Step 4

  # Put the network cards

  foreach ($info in $inventory)

  {

  foreach ($network_information in ($info.NetworkAdapter - split ":"))))

  {

  $virtual_machine = $info | %{$_. Name}

  $network_adapter = ($network_information-split ",") [0]

  $network_vlan = ($network_information-split ",") [1]

  Get-VM-name $virtual_machine | Get-NetworkAdapter-name $network_adapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName $network_vlan-Verbose-RunAsync-confirm: $false | Out-Null

  }

  }

  # Start the virtual machines

  foreach ($vm to $vm_list)

  {

  Start-VM - VM $vm. Name-RunAsync Verbose - confirm: $false | Out-Null}

  }

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hi all

  I made some changes to the script and it worked for me. We have added a host on the destination with all exchanges and storage mapped vCenter.

  $vm_list = get-Cluster-name 'Site B - b | Get - VM | Name sort

  $network_adapter_information = get-NetworkAdapter - VM $vm

  $vm | Select Name,PowerState,ResourcePool,@{N="Path; E=       {$_.

  }

  # Unsubscribe virtual machines

  Remove-VM - VM $vm_list-Verbose - confirm: $false

  $cluster = get-Cluster "Site A - clustera.

  {foreach ($vm to $information)

  # Save virtual machines

  foreach ($info in $information)

  {

  foreach ($network_information in ($info.NetworkAdapter - split ":"))))

  $virtual_machine = $info | %{$_. Name}

  $network_adapter = ($network_information-split ",") [0]

  $network_vlan = ($network_information-split ",") [1]

  Get-VM-name $virtual_machine | Get-NetworkAdapter-name $network_adapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName $network_vlan-Verbose - confirm: $false | Out-Null

• Models of virtual machine in the library of content focus type = unknown

  Hello

  I created a test with vsphere environment 6 and I created a content library for my VM models.

  That worked well for the last few months, but today I have connected the web client and wanted to deploy a new virtual machine from the content library.

  First thing I noticed was the selection after "deploy vm from library" - the library is empty...

  When I look directly in the content library, models are still there, but the type is unknown and not possible to export the s model or deploy...

  Any ideas what I can do?

  I already rebooted the server vcenter...

  I found a work around...

  I was able to clone the model with type = unknown, and the watch type = clone model vm and the guest OS is displayed correctly, too...

• Tagged management VLAN and the virtual machines on the same VLAN

  I'm faced with a problem related to our Brocade switches newly acquired and get the private VLAN to work on trunk connections to our ESX servers.  Every time I try something different, he creates a new problem.

  In our configuration, our management of VLAN is not tag and we have a VLAN for this management network that is placed on our switches VLAN no marked native.  We also have virtual machines hosted on those same ESX servers that are on the same VLAN and everything works fine.  However, when I change the ESX management to carry a label on this VLAN and change the switchports accordingly (IE no untagged VLAN native), management work, but hosted on the ESX Server machines that are on the same VLAN can get no network connectivity.

  Is it possible to have a management network labeled and also the host of virtual machines on the same VLAN or is it totally impossible?  I'm not very familiar with networking behind ESX, so I apologize if this is a dumb question with an obvious answer.

  Thank you

  Mark J.

  Is it possible to have a management network labeled and also the host of virtual machines on the same VLAN or is it totally impossible?

  Yes, it is possible... why it doesn't work for you I don't know, but try the following:

  1. set up the Group of ports of VMS to use VLAN;

  2 configure the interface of management VMkernel port group use VLAN;

  3 configure the physical switch port to allow to this VLAN and put the default VLAN natively for these interfaces.

• Create new virtual machine of the model that have two hard drives in the different data store

  We do VM deploy automation with PowerCLI.

  There is already a model created with at least two hard drives to one side and each hard drive belong to difference datastore,

  In the model's operating system is Windows server 2008 R2 already installed VMware Tools and other software in the second (other than C: driver) driver

  We can successfully deploy a new virtual machine with this manually with vSphere client model.

  But when we try to make the deployment with PowerCLI, can not find examples of similar scripts in the document of reference,

  and we also google this question, still no similar question was found.

  Is this possible with PowerCLI? If it's possible could you give me some advice or an example of script, thank you!

  Best regards.

  I already found the solution.

  With the vSphere SDK .NET API, we can create the new virtual machine to the model

  Mainly used API listed below, sorry because I can not give the source code here.
