• vSwitch ESXi 5.1 workaround to virtual machines (direct access to the network)

  Hello world!

  I have a server running properly the 5.1 ESXi hypervisor and got inside the physical grid active router with DHCP. How can I configure the vSwitch on ESXi 5.1 work not managed on the network, without VLAN and have direct access to the network?

  Just to clarify, I would like to first of all virtual machines VMware Workstation works - if it is possible to run several virtual machines and define all NICS (Network Interface Card) as connected by a bridge, that is to say. Each VM gets the specific configurations of IP to the external router.

  Since now, thank you very much for the help!

  Best regards

  Eduardo

  With ESXi the vSwitches work comparable to Bridged networking, so there is really nothing special to do.

• New virtual machine retains boot from the network (not available)

  Dear community:

  I'm trying to boot and install from an image ISO of Windows 95 file that I created from the original CD.  VM Ware Workstation 7 continues to try to boot from the network even if I have the boot order in the BIOS configured to boot from the CD - that didn't work.  And if it is set to boot from an iso file it will automatically launch that file instead of looking for a MAC address in an infinite loop on the network.  How can I solve this problem with my boot?

• Way to hide certain virtual machines on a common host networks?

  I hope it's one of those moments "duh" and there is an easy solution.

  Let says I have two clusters.  One of the piles is a lab with a copy of Active Directory environment used for testing purposes.  This cluster is now in a cycle of life, and I want to merge with the production cluster and remove former hosts of ESXi lab.  We add laboratory for the cluster of production networks and all is well for the laboratory of virtual machines that are not migrated on him.

  However, we do not want someone to accidentally assign a production VM to a network of laboratories and vice versa.  So when you go into edit a virtual machine, and then select the NETWORK card, there is a drop-down list that displays all the networks, including new laboratory that were just added networks.  I want to hide the network of laboratories of our production domain controllers and hide our production networks where the laboratory domain controllers.  But because they are all on the same cluster, it seems to me that all subnets are fair game for select in the drop-down list.  Or am I wrong?  Is there a way to lock the network to only certain virtual machines so that they do not show up for other virtual machines to choose?

  Thank you and sorry if there is an obvious solution to what I am about.

  SB

  Hey SB,.

  Not sure if this is possible, to be honest, as a virtual machine are all port groups, that it has the right. Now that I think of it, maybe create two different groups of seggregating production and test/lab put in place might work because you would not be able to connect to a virtual computer on a cluster to a portgroup on a host.

  Names must be different, but otherwise you could see similar across clusters names if the port groups may be two different entities altogether. Other than that, can't really invent any scenerios in which a portgroup wouldn't appear on a virtual machine if it is present on a host

• Created in Esxi virtual MACHINE can't see the network

  Hello

  I installed Esxi 5.5 and I have no problem to access and create a virtual machine.

  However, the virtual machine, which is 2012 Windows, does not begin with a network adapter.

  When I check the configuration of the VM, the network adapter is connected, turned on, E1000E but says directpath e/s is not supported. I don't have VMware tools installed in the virtual machine.

  I don't understand where the problem lies. I connect to Esxi ok. I can run the virtual machine in Esxi client ok, but the images says that there is no network.

  I created the VM Windows before 2012, outside of Esxi and the network built in card is detected ok.

  STOP PRESS - in computer management Windows, peripheral, the Ethernet controller is not recognized. So, how can I get the virtual machine to recognize when it is running in ESXI?

  Help?

  Thank you

  Jason

  Also can you check with adapter VMXNET or tru uninstalling and reinstalling VMware tools.

• NLB - two virtual machines can't ping eachother when on separate hosts

  Greetings,

  I've been running some tests with NLB on the different desks as recommended here:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1006558 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 42912404 & StateID = 0% 200% 2041454115

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1006778 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 42912404 & StateID = 0% 200% 2041454115

  I found that Unicast works better in our network environment, but it is still a problem:

  In http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1006580 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 42912690 & StateID = 0% 200% 2041454807

  He says: "since all hosts in the cluster have the same IP Address and the same MAC address, there is no communication possible inter-hote between the hosts configured in unicast mode.» A second NETWORK adapter is required for any other host communication. »

  However, even with a second NETWORK adapter the virtual machines cannot ping eachother when they are on a different esx host. When they are on the same host esx virtual machines can ping each other. Also, when they are on different hosts, so that a virtual machine cannot reach each other on their dedicated IP address, virtual machines can reach other when ping the second card NETWORK (the one without an informed gateway).

  For example, the next 2 guests are connected unicast:

  VM1 has 2 network cards, NIC1 = 172.18.18.41 with gateway (dedicated IP) and NIC2 = 172.18.18.43 without gateway / WLBS enabled.

  VM2 has 2 network cards, NIC1 = 172.18.18.42 with gateway (dedicated IP) and NIC2 = 172.18.18.44 without gateway / WLBS enabled.

  When on the same ESX host VM1 can reach VM2 on 172.18.18.42 and 172.18.18.44, and vice versa.

  When on ESX different hosts VM1 cannot reach VM2 on 172.18.18.42 but it can reach VM2 thanks 172.18.18.44. In this case VM2 cannot reach VM1 on 172.18.18.41 but can reach VM1 on 172.18.18.43.

  I followed and applied the settings recommended in this article: http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1556 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 42912404 & StateID = 0% 200% 2041454115

  I even tried the kb from microsoft as shown here: http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/898867 even if the virtual machines have 2 network cards, but of course that did not help either.

  Does anyone have an idea what is happening here?

  The fact that it works on the same host, but not on different hosts type advanced to a network within VMware issue.

  Thanks in advance,

  Bram

  It seems that ir can be a problem of IP routing, even with the hosts on the same subnet.  Make sure that your routing table that traffic on each that is to/from your mgmt that ips turns off your local management interface.  If it isn't, then update your routing table in order to.

  Or, you could try setting up your mgmt network cards on a different subnet from your IP NLB.  I suspect that this will solve the problem.

• Basic QS:-a virtual machine can share the memory of the 2 hosts?

  Hello

  I am very new to VMWare ESX, but looking at the docs, it seems that there is a possibility to create pools of resources by consolidating physical ESX Server hardware.

  However, it is not clear if a SINGLE virtual machine can run on multiple physical hosts?

  I have 2 physical servers:-each with 4 GB of RAM in a single pool of resources.

  Can I then run a virtual machine and assign it 8 GB? (and actually use up to 7 GB?)

  I'm güssing it is not possible to do...

  No, a guest can run on two physical hosts at the same time. It cannot use the resources provided by an ESX host.

  Resource with Betclic let you group all the resources of all ESX servers with this pool.

  Let's say you have two ESX servers with 3.6 GHz each. So your pool has 7.2 GHz available for its guests in this pool. However, this isn't a contignous resource, it is cut in two on two ESX hosts.

  Also, if you can, do not use resource pools. He must know exactly what you're doing, and it is a good source to make worse things running.

  The best resource on hand programmer is ESX itself. If you have a license to DRS use. According to our experience, it is very good by spreading the load on your ESX farm. If you want to set restrictions to the guests I would level comments.

• How the physical machine can communicate with the virtual machines as well as the internet should work on a virtual machine

  Hi team,

  I ask that you forgive for asking a silly question without doing a free search.

  I'm using VMware workstation 6.5. I am able to communicate with both machines by selecting 'only option of home. "

  Is there a way by which the physical machine can communicate with the virtual machines.

  At the same time through the VMS, is it possible to access the Internet from the physical amchine.

  Help, please.

  Concerning

  Sriapti

  When you use a bridged vNIC the customer acts as any other host, so that you can access is by his IP (or name if a DNS configuration exists as you acceding to any other host.) What tools you can use depends on the guest operating system and the software available.

  I assume you mean access deskopt. Then you can use RDP (Windows Terminal services) or VNC (tight/tiny).

  For Linux, you can use this last or all the flavors of SSH. In the case of Linux, I use VNC through SSH tunnel. You can also tunnel X through SSH, so if you have an X server on another host (such as the Hummingbird for Windows), you can open your own office remotely there.

• I'm not sure how to make it work. 2 guests, 2 virtual machines, trying to keep the traffic on the Server Blade.

  I have two blades on the same chassis running ESXi 4.1, each has an Exchange Server on it. Im trying to keep the traffic between the two Exchange boxes contained between the two. I thought that I could put in the same vSwtich, but looks like I need vDS for this. I don't have this license level.

  Now, I found myself with two separate vSwitches with the same label. network, it shows them on the same vSwitch so they don't transmit traffic. because they are separate switches... my vSphere networking missing a bit... need to study more.

  Since you have virtual machines on different blades that the traffic between the two will have to cross a physical network card.   If you need to segment this traffic, you can configure a VLAN in your network, add a new group of port on each host to ESXi virtual machine and then set up a NIC in the virtual machines to use this group of VIRTUAL LAN port.

  Though the virtual machines on the same host (always) you can configure a single vSwitch.   In this case the traffic between virtual machines would not hit the physical network and you wouldn't need even a physical NETWORK adapter, attached to the vSwitch.

• Multiple virtual machines can share a common hard

  I just confirmed that multiple virtual machines can share a hard if they all see it as non-permanent, which is great if you want to experiment with different linux packages at the same time.

  Except the hard. REDO_ * files that are produced by a virtual machine are removed when you turn it off, and all the work is lost.

  Any ideas how I could prevent the hard. REDO_ * files deleted?

  the non-persistent flag is to capture instant temporary vmdk is ignored when the virtual machine is turned off.

  The vmdk. REDO_ file is actually a type of snapshot. If you want to avoid that it gets deleted turned off the power, you must use a regular snapshot - but then your sharing of this vmdk with other virtual machines will no longer work.

  For your scenario of I don't know one solution stable AND well other than the use of network shares.

  There is a hack to really share VMDK between two virtual machines, but is more stable.

  Another solution may be that share this drive via iSCSI acrooss your machines virtual more.

  Some time ago I tried to interrupt the process of vmware-vmx.exe seconds before turning off the virtual machine and then copy the REDO far so that I can use it again... but if I remember right the next time that you start the virtual computer will be created a new REDO log and it is so pretty useless :-(

• Storage DRS, move a virtual machine that is in the data store is not a member of DTS

  Dear all,

  If I've set up storage DRS that contains, for example, DS1 and DS2. I have another virtual machine that resides on DS that is not part of the cluster of DTS. Can I move this virtual machine to one of the (DS1, DS2) data store? OR will some disruptions?

  Thank you

  Jocelyn,

  Which is correct in both cases. You can leave DTS place it for you (which is my suggestion), but I thought you wanted it to go to a specific data store.  That being said you can reactivate the DTS for a virtual machine under the SDR change settings if you do not ever clear for a virtual machine
