• Workstation 10 on Windows 7 Prof - "Promiscuous" mode?

  Guys, after reviewing the documentation, I may get it wrong, but it seems to be no option to run vSwitches in "Promiscuous" mode as there is in ESXi?

  A context here. I am under a Linux of Kali (pentest box) to test different OS (Windows and Linux) and analysis of newspaper with a box of SIEM (ArcSight logger).

  One of the streams in the SIEM is an IDS (Snort), which obviously doesn't help if the vSwitch is in its normal operating mode. I can change it to a configuration line and fire all through it, but don't want to go there.

  The guide 10 Workstation seems to say I turn on "Promiscuous" mode if it is installed on a Linux host and, by omission, seems to imply that you can't do it on a Windows host.

  I read it wrong?

  There are a few parameters that you can use - took notes - see http://sanbarrow.com/vmx/vmx-network-advanced.html keep in mind that on workstation "vmnet" don't are not really switches - look at them like turntables. On a modern Win7 or later, you may need additional measures to make sure that you really get Supreme mode - check the firewalls, Antivirus, so locking tools. WS running as the administrator may require. It may be useful to use a bridged VMnet which is not used by the windows host at all - only assing vmware-bridge-Protocol to the network adapter and then - remove IP4 and IP6, and other protocols

• Why do I need "Promiscuous" Mode when you use multiple vSwitches and a bridge?

  Hello guys,.

  5.5 ESXi running.

  I created two vSwitches and putting multiple virtual machines in each vSwitch. I have a CentOS VM with two network cards, one in each vSwitch. I configured the CentOS VM to work as a bridge. I could spend between devices on a vSwitch pings, but ping has no devices on a vSwitch devices on the other (through the CentOS acting as a bridge). The ARP requests have been sent across the bridge, but have never had sent answers ARP. I checked around online and someone recommended to enable Promiscuous Mode. I activated the Promiscuous Mode (changing to refuse to accept) on the two vSwitches (which is then applied to the change to all virtual machines). You can read more about that here: VMware KB: how "Promiscuous" mode operates on the virtual level switch and portgroup

  Now all of a sudden, everything works.

  My question is: why?

  I think that I don't want to Promiscuous Mode unless it must be such that it will result in more traffic to each VM it had reached before. I don't really understand why I need to authorize this change, and any help would be nice!

  Without promiscuous mode, vSwitch and port group will only transmit traffic VMs (MAC addresses) that are directly related to the port groups, he will not learn the MAC addresses that, in your case, are the other side of the bridge. The "Promiscuous" mode, all traffic is sent to each virtual machine on the vSwitch and port group and it's virtual machine to decide what to do with the network packets. As you have already mentioned, this isn't a parameter that you want to apply to a large number of virtual machines. For this reason, you can create a second group of ports on the vSwitch with only of CentOS virtual machine and activate the "Promiscuous" mode on only this group port rather than the vSwitch.

• BB10 Simulator on Vmware ESXi

  I'm trying to get the BB10 Simulator to work on a VMWare ESXi server. Here's what I've done so far:

  1. Installed the Simulator on yhe development machine, started VMWare workstation, open the vmx file and downloaded the VM on the ESXi server.
  2. Disabled 3D acceleration on the machine virtual (on ESX) and selected 'Full touch safe mode' after starting the virtual machine.

  At this point, the virtual computer screen displays the IP 'telnet ftp ssh qconn', the axis of the device and the build number.

  The next step is to connect the Momentics IDE to this virtual machine.

  The Simulator is in need of a vmx file configuration dialog box (likely to run vmware specific commands). In the configuration of ESXi, there is no vmx file.

  If I try to connect to the virtual machine by IP address, I need a device password, I did not.

  Someone at - it suggestions on what do I do now?

  In response to my own question because I found the answer:

  Now that I have the IP address, I just follow the steps described in

  http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/native-development/BB10-native-Cascades-SDK-not-connecting-to...

  Because I had never set up a password for the Simulator, I left the empty password field.

  Copy-paste the details:

  Of your IDE

  -Right click on your project in the Project Explorer

  -Go to Blackberry tools and click on configure target...

  -Click Add new target it... button and enter the IP address of your Simulator in the host name or IP address field, enter your password if you have one then click on finish

  To run your application on the Simulator:

  -In the Project Explorer view, double click on file bar - descriptor.xml, then click on chip Debug Set button to set the author of the application information.

  -Set the configuration of the correct version for the Simulator first by right-clicking on your project and selecting Configurations of Build > Set Active > 4 Simulator-Debug.

  -In the Project Explorer view, right-click the project and select build project.

  -Right click on the project again, and then select run as > BlackBerry Application C/C++.

  Currently I see many MAC beat in the log of the switch.  From my understanding, I expect the MAC address out all ports, because that's what'd ESXi when you use 'route based on the hash of the IP.  I'm worried about the impact this might have on the CPU / switch.

• Installation of VMware ESXI 6 in my server

  Hi all

  I have a server that I have configured with raid 1 using the disk on the Server utility.

  When I try to install VMWare ESXI on the server, in the part of the selection of the disk to install the ESXY appears only the physical disks and not the virtual drives configured in table mode. What should I do?

  Concerning

  Milton Aguiar

  You are probably using some (aka 'false') 'software' edge RAID controller. These controllers require additional driver software to work. However, VMware supports only the real hardware RAID controllers, which are transparently logical volumes to the OS. Unless your hardware provider offering dedicated to ESXi drivers (HP as much I know as fact for some of theit controllers of Type B) you may not use the RAID on board.

• Configuration of IPSec in VMWare ESXi can be applied to virtual machines running?

  Hello

  I have an operating system running inside VMWare ESXi 5.1.  Let's call is "MyLinux".  It is a modified version of Linux which does not support IPSec.  So I try to get VMWare to manipulate IPSec for MyLinux.

  I used esxcli orders to successfully create configurations for IPSec between VMWare itself and other systems.

  However, I wonder if I can use the same esxcli commands to configure IPSec between MyLinux and other systems?  In my tests, VMWare does not perform tunneling IPSec data between the running machines and other virtual systems.

  It is an illustration of the configuration I created for MyLinux in VMWare.  I also have a security policy that is not visible.

  Name Source address Destination address State SPI Mode Encryption Algorithm, integrity algorithm to life

  --------                              -------------------------------------      -------------------------------------  ------      -----     ---------     --------------------               -------------------           --------

  ExternalToMyLinuxSA EXTERNAL. IPv6.ADDRESS infinite mature MyLINUX.IPv6.ADDRESS of hmac-sha2-256 0 x 256 transport 3des-cbc

  When I captured a trace TCP ping between MyLinux and the external system, MyLinux never sent the IPSec packets. Everything was sent in the clear.  This suggests that VMWare does not apply the rule for MyLinux, but I would like to confirm.  Thank you.

  Kwabena

  When you configure IPSec on ESXi, you sécuriserez the VMkernel traffic, not the virtual machine... If you want to protect the traffic of the virtual machine, you will need to enable IPSec on guest operating system.

  Here is more information on IPSec on ESXi: VMware KB: IPv6 and IPsec configuration on vSphere ESX and ESXi 4.1, 5.x ESXi

  2. can you VMWare ESXI 5.5 HA and Vmotion (not storage Vmotion) support with a VM scenario below:

  3 three nodes with iSCSI SAN storage

  VM1
  -Drive C-> vmfs Datastore1
  -Drive D-> RDM (is this support on a physical or virtual compatibility mode)
  

  VM2

  3. can you multiple access by 5.5 ESXi host the same data store (located on a San) vmfs using the free version of ESXi 5.5?
  Can I use this in a production environment? I have seen some companies test this on a non-production environment. Technically, it works.
  
  Thank you

  Welcome to the community-

  (1) as long as the DRS HA cluster hosts see data even warehouses there will be no problem

  (2) once more, also longer than the nose can see data warehouses including the LUNS as the RDM it home should be without issue.

  (3) Yes multiple instances of the free version of ESXi can access LUNS shared - Yes it can be used in a production environment, but remember you can not handle the free hypervisor with vCenter.

• VSphere - "Promiscuous" Mode?

  I have a virtual machine that is running in Vsphere Hypervisor.   I'm trying to install a VPN (SoftEther) utility that requires the network adapter that will be put into Promiscuous mode. After reviewing the documentation ESXI, he tells me to go to the 'Configuration' tab, but this tab is missing.

  Is it possible for me to configure my NIC as such? I called tech support and they told me here.

  I was able to download the command line tool (esxcli) and that allowed me to set promiscuous mode. It is not trivial to understand this point, but at least I got around him. For anyone else running into this problem, you can do something like this:

  To list the interfaces /ports

  esxcli - Server IPADDRESS - USER - network interface ip PASSWORD password username list

  My switch was vSwitch0 after running this.

  To check policy:

  esxcli - Server IPADDRESS - username USER - password PASSWORD policy standard vswitch network security get vSwitch0 - v

  To set the policy:

  esxcli - Server IPADDRESS - USER - password PASSWORD standard vswitch network username policy security set f m true - false true Pei - v vSwitch0

• VMware ESXi 5.1 can run Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 SMV also, nice!

  I created a detailed instructions (with screenshots and video) using GA-level code here:

  http://tinkertry.com/ESXi-5-1-running-hyper-v-Server-2012

  using the "basic" version of the new Hyper-V, with tips and ideas from these forums and other sites on the previous beta tests.

  Here's the gist:

  • Create a "Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (64-bit)" VM, using the default Configuration
  • Right click on the new virtual machine and material virtual upgrade to Version 9
  • twist the VMX, adding these 4 lines:

  MCE. Enable = TRUE

  Hypervisor.CPUID.v0 = FALSE
  featMask.vm.hv.capable = Min:1″ «»
  VHV.enable = TRUE

  • Remember, it is assigned to a network where the vSwitch is Promiscuous Mode to Accept
  • Turn on the new machine virtual of Hyper-V
  • perform the default installation and configure Hyper-v, hard IP-code if you wish, create an Admin user and password name that matches a customer's system
  • create a Windows 8 'customer' VM, as the Hyper-V Manager takes just a few seconds to add
  • Difficulty of COM security on the client system
  • use Hyper - V Manager this virtual machine to connect to Hyper-V, and then...
  • create a Hyper-V hosted Virtual Machine, can connect you and turn it on to test

  I'm looking forward to suggestions or alternative methods, but for the moment, it was the only way I could get it to work in my own laboratory, thought that others might not want to try to replicate this exercise.

  Windows Hyper-V (not supported) is a selection of OS comments available through the user interface in Workstation 9.  It defines the guestOS to 'winhyperv '.  Although the selection of the BONES of Hyper-V is not available through the user interface of 5.1 ESXi, I understand that support it is always there.

• VMware esxi 5.0: Samba datastore

  Hello

  After searching for a thousand and one ways I found no results for my problem.

  Let me explain:

  I recently bought from Dell a server on vmware esxi 5.0.

  My virtualization works wonderfully well and I have no worries about the virtualization itself.

  Given the cost of the server I preferred a server with little storage... And now everything works fine I heard 'need' more storage (Miss near 100 go).

  I have a server iomega Linux ubuntu 11.02 with more than 1 TB of storage. That had more but accurate, so I decided to use it as storage type NAS dedicated only to my virtualization.

  It is configured so that it is accessible to all (public mode). It is visible from any position, it is on Linux or on Windows. I have the opportunity (in any position) to create/delete/run the files it contains.

  Ook, impossible pour me to make this server a data store. :/

  Indeed after searching for tutorials on the Internet I don't have until then not found solution...

  Apart from "http://www.tuto-it.fr/ESXDatastore.php." When I get to select my server (IP put) I don't have to worry about this one is clearly visible. However I don't have a 'target' (target) available in what makes me unable to create a new LUN disk on this famous server.

  I ask myself several questions:

  1. is my request possible?

  2 samba is he took into account by Vmware as a NAS Server?

  3. a more advanced version of the it takes VMware pour UTI UN datastore 'distant '?

  4. should I use another operating system and/or USE another software for sharing?

  Someone would have it an idea pour me troubleshoot?

  I thank in advance anyone willing to give me some advice.

  [EDIT]

  I also could find attached 'http://www.vclouds.nl/2012/06/24/building-my-superfast-home-storage-with-nexenta-ce/' but this one speaks of "Nexenta. Therefore, pour me possible to a server from a data store. Remains to be seen how! :-(

  Hello

  Pour you could mount a store of data that Linux server on your infra vSphere, it takes you to introduce United Nations either NFS or iSCSI volumes.

  A the of my opinion, simpler and faster is that you turn to the NFS, just have to be careful to set the right parameters pour export.

• VMs and vswitches shared using the "Promiscuous" mode

  We are in the middle of setting up our new VM environment and you want to include Symantec Web Gateway virtual appliance. Must the vswitches (vNIC) use promiscuous mode. The problem is that all of my physical network cards are distributed between 4 virtual switches. No other virtual machines require promiscuous mode. When you set this mode on a vswitch, how will this affect the other virtual machines using the same switch? "Promiscuous" mode can be set on the switch and only ebabled to the virtual machine?

  I'm under esxi 5 and 8 network adapters in the servers of my host. There are 4 configured vswitches, one for management, data traffic, one for vmotion traffic and one for our DMZ.

  Thanks in advance

  You can create a separate virtual machine for this virtual machine port group and set security for the virtual machine portgroup activating the mode of promiscous-only activate the promiscous for virtual machines will be connected to the VM Port Group

• Activate the Promiscuous Mode on a vswitch

  I'm creating a new virtual machine... Cisco 3300 ISE. In the instructions, he told me to make sure that "Promiscuous" mode on the vswitch. If I enable this, will it screw up one of my other virtual machines that are currently using this option? I am using vCenter 5.0 with ESXi 4.1

  Thank you

  No, it shouldn't - you can also create a separate virtual machine port group and just activate for this group of port promiscous mode and not put overall vswitch
