• How to get address Virtual Machine MAC on which vmware tools is not installed

  Hello

  I'm putting the MAC address of a virtual machine in a string. At first, I was using this script:

  strMACAddress = objVM.guest.net [0] .macAddress;

  But as indicated in the title, the vmware tools are not installed on the virtual machine. I found a similar position in vSphere Web Services SDK:

  http://communities.VMware.com/thread/254204

  In this post, it is specified to use the script VcVirtualEthernetCard() object. I'm new to Orchestrator and I do not understand how to make a "myVcVirtualEthernetCard" link to my virtual computer object 'objVM '.

  Example:

  IN: objVM (VcVirtualMachine)

  OUT: macAddress

  var myVcVirtualEthernetCard = new VcVirtualEthernetCard();

  macAddress var = myVcVirtualEthernetCard.macAddress;

  Thank you for your help.

  Kind regards

  Hello!

  You can browse the table config.hardware.device of the virtual machine:

  IN: vm (Vc:VirtualMachine)

  DEPARTURES: Macaddresses (Array/string)

  //initialize macAddresses array (to make a push() possible later)
  macAddresses = new Array();
  var deviceArray = vm.config.hardware.device;
  if (!deviceArray) throw "Error getting hardware config array of VM";
      System.debug("deviceArray: " + deviceArray);
  //loop through array, find NICs and retrieve there MACs
  for (var i in deviceArray) {
      var currentDevice = deviceArray.pop();
      if (currentDevice) {
          System.debug("currentDevice: " + currentDevice);
          if (currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualE1000 ||
              currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualPCNet32 ||
              currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet ||
              currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet2 ||
              currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet) {
                  System.debug("found network card on " + currentDevice);
                  macAddresses.push(currentDevice.macAddress) ;
          }
      }
  }
  

  Please let me know if it works for you, or if you need more information :-)

• How to get the MAC address of the virtual machine on which vmware tool is not installed

  Hello

  In our project, we communicate to vCenter/ESX and details of virtual machines using the VI - Java 4.0.0 SDK APIs

  I use PropertyCollector for details.

  But in the following cases

  1. a virtual machine is poweredOff.

  2 VMware tool is not installed on the virtual machine.

  I am not able to get the mac using the PropertyColector address.

  To get the macaddress property I use after crossing spec:

  rootFolder (folder)-> childEntity (data center)-> hostFolder (Folder)-> childEntity (ComputerResource)

  -> host (Hostsystem)-> vm-> guest (GuestInfo)-> net (GuestNicInfo)-> macaddress (in Virtualmachine)

  I know the vSphere client uses the VI SDK to perform all operations, and I am able to see the macAddress of VirtualMachine in cases using vSphere client.

  Is any body please help me get the macaddress of VM in the two cases.

  Thank you

  Deepak

  Take a look at the dashboard feature of the virtual machine and specifically "VirtualEthernetCard": http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.device.VirtualEthernetCard.html

  When you assign a new vNIC to each virtual machine, a unique MAC address generated is given by default. If you still want to map the actual interface of the guestOS, then you would take a look at guestInfo as you may have noticed IF you have the VMware Tools. Although the default is whence the MAC address

• VMware tools are not installed

  I have vmware player v6 on a windows machine

  I installed windows 7 as a virtual machine on a windows computer, but I can't get vmware tools to install - because the installation process does not start.

  In the vmware window, I click on manage/player/install VMware tools and nothing happens, never. I get no start installation upward. So I tried also to start/run/D:\setup and I get "Please insert a disc into the dvd drive. It's so useless, nothing I will get the installer to start and after trawling google ages each page says the same thing, which is what I tried already and who never works. WTF |. I have to do to get the vmware tools installer to run?

  Edit: I also tried to download and tools-windows - 9.6.1.exe running and who has done sweet FA as well.

  If you are using VMware Player 6.0,1 on a Windows host and you want to install VMware Tools in Windows 7, then do what follows is workaround to which question you encounter that does not automatically download the VMware Tools.

  Tools-windows - 9.6.1.exe.tar on the host, not the comments, download and unzip it.  Then run the file tools-windows - 9.6.1.exe.  This (silently) installs VMware Tools for Windows (windows.iso) in the working directory of VMware Player.  You should then be able to install VMware Tools normally on the Menu, but if it doesn't work then fix the windows.iso of CD/DVD virtual machine and run the installation from the Windows virtual machine.

• "The build tools are not installed.

  I installed the LabVIEW FPGA Module of the 2011, the NOR-RIO 4.0 and NI LabVIEW Xilinx 11.5 tools.  When I hit the button on my FPGA VI, I get the message "the build tools are not installed" what module/driver/DVD installs the build tools?

  

  LabVIEW FPGA 2011 requires the Xilinx 12.4 tools to compile for objectives other than the Virtex-II.  These should be available on the 2011 LabVIEW platform DVD.

• Xilinx 14.7 tools are not installed

  Hi all

  No news to LV, but new to LV more FPGA. You try to compile a design I inherited another construction project. The worker compile complains that "14.7 Xilinx tools are not installed." But they are installed: I even did a quick construction of another design in ISE to verify that it still works.

  FWIW, I use eval all versions while you wait for the PO me treated. I installed 2013Xilinx14, I wonder if self-employed compile looking in the wrong place for the compiler (it stops right after the creation of the VHDL code).

  OS is Windows 7

  The LV version is 2014 14.0f1

  Targeting a sbRIO-9636, which is not installed on this PC

  Thoughts, anyone?

  See you soon!

  You must install Xilinx 2014 LabVIEW tools.  2013 is delivered with Xilinx 14.4.

• Update "Compilation of Xilinx tools are not installed" thread for 2015

  I have Labview 2015, I need compile a vi for a Compact 9081 RIO fpga. I get the error "the Compilation of Xilinx tools are not installed. Install them using the support or download from ni.com installation. »

  OK, pretty simple. What download where? Is there a link?

  These Xilinx tools do not resolve the problem, I discovered only after you download all 9 gigabytes:

  http://www.NI.com/download/LabVIEW-FPGA-Module-2014/4845/en/

  http://www.NI.com/download/LabVIEW-FPGA-Module-2015/5492/en/

  Bonus question: where are the instructions that specify which download links to click on what material?

  This KB should list on what compilation of tools you need for your specific target.

  http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/7CF3DD1ABBE6AE5886257EFB0006E303

  It can be a little confusing at first, but you need the Xilinx 14.7 for 2015 LabVIEW tools, that you can download from the following link. It seems that you have found the correct version of Xilinx, but it was for 2015 of LabVIEW which is what I assume is the problem.

  You can also try the cloud of compilation to ni.com/trycompilecloud

• Install VMWare Tools does not not under Red Hat RHEL 5.2?

  With the help of VMware Workstation 6.5.2.156735, I installed RHEL 5.2 without going through the "Easy install" option

  He said that the VMWare Tools are installed when I tried to re - install, but my mouse is always captured and my screen resolution options are always locked at 800 x 600.  What Miss me?  I have to be logged in as root to install?  He asked for the root password when I double-clicked the RPM and it seems that happy Installer.

  Thank you in advance for any advice or suggestions,

  You have only installed the files.  Now you must configure tools.  Run the configuration script tools.  See the Setup Guide to guest for details operating system.

• CentOS Linux VMware Tools cannot cancel install cannot vMotion

  I'm running CentOS 6.5 and have successfully installed vmtools. I need vmotion my servers, but I get the error "VM is to install VMware Tools and cannot launch a migration operation.

  I already did the "vim - cmd vmsvc/tools.cancelinstall < idnum >" command, but still cannot vmotion.

  Don't know what to try next. Ideas?

  Had this problem several times. Only way I got it to work was to turn off the virtual machine and power it back on.

• VMWare Tools does not

  Hi team,

  I cloned (copied the entire record of this virtual machine via scp copy) a virtual of Vcenter Vcenter 5.0 4.1 machine. But after turning on the machine (in Vcenter 5.0), is to show VMware tools are running up-to-date. Can someone please explain to me how I can install VMware tools for this virtual machine.

  Thanks in advance,

  Sisi.

  No,

  If you use standard options, vm will automatically update the tools and do a restart.

  If you do not wan´t to automatically restart the virtual machine, you may use the interactive update and open a console on the virtual machine.

  The CD of tools will be automatically mounted to your virtual machine and you could install the tool manual.

• VMware Tools does not update...

  Hello! I got this message when I tried to update my VMware Tools: "there was a problem updating a software component. Try again later and if the problem persists, contact your system administrator or the VMware Support. "What can I do to fix this?

  To add to what Andrew said... Download and unzip the Tools-windows - 9.2.2.exe.tar on the host and then run the file tools-windows - 9.2.2.exe on the host.  He then silently retrieves and installs files windows.iso and windows.iso.sig to VMware players Working Directory.  Then just try to install VMware Tools normally by selecting install VMware Tools in the Virtual Machine menu.  If this does not work then you will need to manually assign the ISO Image to VMware Tools (windows.iso) on CD/DVD to the virtual computer and then install from in the guest operating system by running setup.exe from the CD/DVD drive.

• need a script to find vmware tools does not not on virtual machines

  I need a script to find the virtual machines running without vmware tools?

  Hello, nareshunik-

  You can add an extra point to the filter to include only the virtual machines that are on, as:

  ## get names of powered-on VMs that either do not have Tools installed, or on which Tools are not currently runningGet-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name, Guest.ToolsStatus -Filter @{"Guest.ToolsStatus" = "toolsNotInstalled|toolsNotRunning"; "Runtime.PowerState" = "PoweredOn"} | Select Name, @{n="ToolsStatus"; e={$_.Guest.ToolsStatus}}
  

  How does do for you?
