Virtual ODBC to the host

Player Version 5, hosted under Vista, under WinXP SP3

I have a MySQL database running on the host of Vista that I want to connect from within the virtual operating system using ODBC.

I can connect to a database running on an external server on the local network, but I can't find a way to connect to the database on the host computer.

All suggestions will be welcome.

Welcome to the community - because you can connect to an external host I'd be willing to bet the question with the Vista Firewall blocks connectivity.

  • Virtual machine has 12 virtual processors, but the host only supports 8?

    Hi all I am using ESX 5.1 and have a machine Windows 2012 R2 Standard of virtual (vmx-09) comments that I'm moving to 8 processors to 12 processors.  But when I turn on the virtual machine after changing the UC 12 I get the error message

    "Virtual Machine has 12 virtual processors, but the host only supports 8. The number of virtual processors can be limited by the selected guest OS for the virtual machine or the granting of licenses for the host".

    Now, I know that 2012 R2 Standard Windows can handle 12 processors and I thought that ESX 5.1 could also, but I'm wrong?  This is the Standard of vSphere license 5.  Thank you!

    Hello

    vSphere 5.1 Standard license has a 8 vCPU per VM limit.

    Company = 32 vCPU

    Business + 64 vCPU

    You must upgrade to vSphere 5.5. This can be done with your vSphere license 5, as it is for all versions 5.X of vSphere and vCPU limit has been deleted in 5.5.

    So you can have as many vCPU per VM that your host has logical cores.

  • Impossible to allocate additional processors (virtual machine has 8 virtual processors, but the host only supports 4)

    Dear team,

    I want to devote 8 vcpu to one of the virtual machine, but it gives following error

    "Virtual Machine has 8 virtual processors, but the host supports only 4. The number of virtual processors can be limited by the selected guest OS for the virtual machine or the granting of licenses for the host".

    want to know the weather, that it depends on the os under license or guest vm

    Hello

    It is the restriction of license. 4-way vSMP is the right thing, you stressed in your screenshot.

    If you upgrade your server and license to vSphere 5, you can allocate 8 vCPU with Standard license and 32 vCPU with your license of the company!

  • Shared behavior of the virtual machine on the host system shutdown

    Shared behavior of the virtual machine on the host system shutdown

    Greetings,

    I installed WIn7 - 64 bit host system, WS8 and there seems to be a very nice and high quality configuration. I am very happy.

    There is a shared VM and it's a Setup 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 Server functioning as a base configuration LAMP for some basic web applications, etc..

    I was unable to find the settings to control the behavior of the VM shared with the system that hosts stop. When I stop the host system, I believe that the common VM is off tension or stop gracefully, I don't know who. What I like best is for the shared VM will not apply instead. The reason is that starting the virtual machine is a bit complicated and requires manual intervention. Whereas, if it is stopped since a State suspended without manual intervention is necessary.

    I found that if there is a loss of power, I can hibernate the host system in time before my battery runs out. Resuming the host hibernate system works correctly and the VM shared within WS8 is back to its previous functional State.

    It would be nice and helpful being able to stop or restart the host system and know that the shared virtual machine has been automatically suspended. So now I have to log on to the user account from the host system and open WS8 and manually suspend the virtual machine before you stop or restart the host system.

    Is there a way to have the shared VM automatically suspended when the host system is stop?

    Thank you for your time and attention.

    You can configure the stop action by editing the following file:

    %ProgramData%\VMware\hostd\vmAutoStart.XML

    If you want to configure the action stop for all virtual machines, find the section of under the section. Change it on hold

    If you want to change the action stop for only this one machine virtual, you must first configure this shared VM to be started automatically (in WS, right-click on the item 'VMs shared' in the library, select "manage computers virtual auto-start '). After doing this, manually change the vmAutoStart.xml. Find the entry for the virtual machine in the section (if you have more than one computer configured to autostart virtual, it will take some more digging to understand what VM to change). Change the entry for this virtual machine to hang.

    Save the file. Reboot the host (not auto-start power actions are only made when the host is restarted). Now when stop you the host, WS should suspend the VM (s)

    As always, manually edit the configuration files is not considered supported its use. Save the file before you edit. Adjust at your own risk.

  • Virtual machine has 8 virtual processors, but the host only supports 4... ?

    Hello

    My setup is a VSphere cluster with 4 guests each with:

    E5450 3.00 Ghz Dual Xeon Quad & 32 GB of Ram.

    I run a number of virtual machines, mainly Windows 2003 Server Enterprise. Most of them is running on 2 or 4 virtual processors.

    I tried to create a new virtual machine with virtual cpu 6 or 8 and 16 GB of ram. When I tried to turn on the virtual machine, I got the message below:

    Virtual machine has 8 virtual processors, but the host supports only 4. The number of virtual processors can be limited by the OS, etc...

    Now, I checked my licenses and they are for each host that I have:

    Company of VSphere 4. 1-6 cores per processor. 2 cpu by assigned host.

    Thus, it cannot be a problem with the license...

    Any ideas?

    Hello and welcome to the forums.

    The Enterprise Plus edition is required for vSMP 8 channels.  You can check in the vSphere editions comparison.  The Enterprise edition will be limited to 4 vCPUs.

    The 6 cores per processor refers to the ESX host itself and directly relate to the SMP virtual machine.

    Good luck!

  • virtual machine on the host computer has been detected to have a duplicate ip address

    I have seen several threads about this, but they are all either point to one) all resources used or b) firewall issues, and since I have neither, I wanted to see if anyone knows the answer...

    I have 6 servers identical all running the same exact version of ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-153875 and 5 of them work perfectly, but the 6th gives the same error as the original poster. It obviously isn't a problem of firewall from the 5 / 6 work very well and I connect to all (and about 15 other servers vmware ESX Server) of my workstation. The server with the question has no installed VMs (don't stay connected long enough to build a) and he passesd all hardware diagnostics I run on it. It has an IP address static, put in place like all other servers and ESX I reinstalled several times.

    Looking at the logs, I see this message: virtual machine on the host has been detected with a duplicate IP address

    How is this possible, is that there is still no VMs on that? Anyone know how to fix this?

    How is this possible, is that there is still no VMs on that? Anyone know how to fix this?

    Not sure why she complains VM, as you didn't tell any virtual machine set up, but define you as static.  Are you sure that you do not use an IP address already in use?

    Disable the ESX host, can you ping the IP?  Something is using this IP address somewhere, so the message can be vague, but something is causing an IP address conflict.

  • Error message: «the virtual network on the host computer drivers are incompatible...» »

    Just bought a new computer that is running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.

    I installed VMWare Workstation 6.5.1 build 126130.

    I copied on a machine virtual from the old computer (running Windows XP Pro and VMWare Workstation 5.0.0 build 13124). I improved this VM Workstation 6.5. This virtual machine is currently running Windows XP Pro.

    When I run the virtual machine on the new computer, I get the following error message:

    "The virtual network on the host computer drivers are incompatible with the installed application of VMWare. Version expected 5. Please reinstall the product. Virtual device Ethernet0 will start disconnected. »

    Note that the virtual machine runs; I don't have any network capacity.

    I read the thread http://communities.vmware.com/thread/186731, who seems to have the same problem. He had installed 6.5 on 5.5; When he uninstalled and deleted all of the directories, and then reinstalled everything went well.

    I don't have any product VMware existing on the computer that would cause this type of conflict.

    So, what should I try to fix this?

    Thank you

  • Create a great metric for virtual machines that shows how many virtual machines on the host parent

    One of the properties of a virtual computer's Parent host.  I would like to pass this info on to a metric Super VM and use to gather the number of VMS are on the associated VM host Parent.   This SM would be so associated with my VMs.

  • View of the Virtual Machine with the host name of the filtering

    Hello

    I'm trying to get a specific view of the Virtual Machine from a hypervisor.

    Basically, I tried to reuse an idea found on the script of cdromdisconnect.pl, an address in http://communities.VMware.com/message/1192878#1192878

    The code would be

    My $host_view = Vim::find_entity_view)
    view_type = > 'HostSystem. "
    filter = > {'name' = > $vm_hypervisor_name},
    );

    My $host_moref = $host_view-> {mo_ref} {value};


    $vm_view = Vim::find_entity_views)
    view_type = > 'VirtualMachine.
    filter = > {}
    'runtime.host' = > $host_moref,

    'name' = > $vm_name,

    },
    );

    But the API said that "filtering is only supported for the Simple Type"

    So I'm just the host_view and then call the property "-> virtual machine" to recover all the vm of the host, and then I loop inside the table to retrieve the name and the virtual machine, I am looking

    But, is there not a smoother way to directly get the view of the entity of VM to a specific host?

    Thank you

    Give a try:

    $host_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online "HostSystem", filter-online {'name'-online $host_name}) | Die "could not get $host_name!"

    $vm_view = Vim::find_entity_views)
    view_type-online 'VirtualMachine.
    filter-online {'name'-online $vm_name},

    begin_entity => $host_view.

    },
    );

  • Manually migrate virtual machines from the host is not responding.

    I have a 3 host cluster.  One of the guests became unresponsive.  Continue to run all the virtual machines connected to the host is not responding and I can't RDP for them.  I am able to SSH to the host does not respond, but not connect via vCenter.

    Restart the services will cancel the virtual machines running?  If this isn't the case, then what is the command to restart the services?

    What is the best plan to manually migrate those virtual machines for the other two hosts?

    SSH, cd to \usr\sbin, then run "services.sh restart" (without the quotes). Which will restart management services, with no impact to your VM. Then you should be able to re - connect with Vcenter.

  • State of the virtual machine after the host failure

    Hello

    If a virtual machine is running on a host and that host suddenly powers off dirty, like a power failure or a remote access card power the server due to a fault, overtemp etc., what happens to the virtual machine?

    My guess is the virtual machine is actually difficult, dirty off too and if HA is configured, etc it is going to do a full power on sequence. Or is it restart on a new server and be automatically in the same power state with the same States of memory and cpu until the host has dropped dead? So if I got a connection of the DRC in a vm of windows server and the host dies suddenly and it restarts, reconnect to the session even State immediately before the breaking of the host?

    Thank you

    When ESX\ESXi fails due to power failure:

    No configured HA:

    1. all virtual machines is also faces off against the sudden stop. SMV will lose data runtime and all communications (including the RDP connection) will be interrupted.

    Configured HA:

    1 VMs will be powered - on on a different host. However, its the same as a reset of the virtual machine, we will lose any unsaved data.

    VMware FT:

    We ensure 100% uptime for a virtual machine using VMware Fault Tolerance. In case of failure of the host, next time school resumes VM in FT. More details on IP are available at the following link.

  • Dedicated network adapter to the virtual machine and the host computer not let can visit his profile

    OK, here's my question, I know how to give themselves a phyiscal nic to a vmware, but I wanted to take it one step further and do not leave the host send or receive data from this network card, only the virtual machine can use this network/NIC...

    Here's my reasoning, I have to network conections, one is for my internal/field network and the second is a direct connection to the internet (Comcast) I don't want to use to separate the machines have for internet connection, I want to be on the same machine phyiscal and have just the vmware machine talking to comcast... is it possible?  I am running VMware workstation 7, last update.

    Thank you

    Cdrshm

    I assume you are using a Windows host?

    If Yes...

    -first set up networking networking with vmnetcfg.exe

    -assign vmnet0 to the network card for the internal network

    -assign vmnet2 to the network card used for direct access to the internet

    -Right-click on the map network-icon in the systray and access the properties of the network adapter for vmnet2

    -Disable all other protocols and the Protocol of vmware_bridge for this network adapter

    result: a virtual machine that uses vmnet2 can directly access the internet and the host has no IP address for this network adapter - and therefore cannot use it.

  • How can access us the Client on a virtual machine on the host ESXi VI?

    Good afternoon, we are evaluating a virtualization solution, our company is small and we want only 3 servers to virtualize, and we want to use one of the virtual machines on the ESXi host, using the Client of VI, so we can use the keyboard and the screen of this server to access virtual machines. Our idea is to use this virtual machine as a workstation.

    Is this possible? or we use VMware server?

    Kind regards

    Cristian Fernández

    It is really not possible. Since the physical ESXi console, you will see only the menus and COS screens.

  • Error al licenciar esx 3.5, virtual center of the host y

    Hola

    I have 2 esx 3.5 servidores y Virtual Centre of the United Nations.

    In each of esx, Guerra el .lic (single host) he is ok, appears as licenciado (es standard esx).

    Instalo UN virtual center y al instalar doy el fichero .lic Québec he generated in the web of vmware (centralized).

    VOY a cada esx y pongo ip del Centre virtual donde pone 'use license server', me dice algo asi como no hay to licenses validad if the doy tr o no, the digo if, pero no licenciado appears.

    He desinstaldo y vuelto a instalar el servidor of licenses, releido el archivo .lic... no hay manera.

    También al of ido he virtual center a "administration", he marcado "change host...". ', Center Management Server virtual y ahi, pero nada. If Quebec me appears ahi al dar al oton "administration", then b has the 'licenses' las features pestana y en 'virtual center foundation manager' in 'cost' pone server 1, remaining pone cero, y pone total 1.

    El host appears como desconectado al anadirlo al virtual Center try not there as none is can por las licenses.

    Saludos

    If el otro no you already licenciar lo're porque el vCenter no tiene fired para asignarle. Of how many CPUs are you fired? How many has released there? How many you is? ESTOS datos los puedes ver en el servidor of licenses y con the utility of licenses.
