• 6u2 ESXi host nested on VMware Workstation for Linux referee v12

  Hello all, I have

  I have a lab environment virtual running in VMware Workstation for Linux v12, and my ESXi hosts do not work correctly on one of the virtual networks. All my troubleshooting suggests a problem with nested ESXi hosts that may be a bug, but I want to assure you that I did everything properly first. That's why I post here with the hope that if I made a mistake that maybe someone else can point out he me.

  Physical system

  8 core Intel Xeon 2.1 GHz CPU

  128 GB of RAM

  OS - kernel Linux 64 - bit w/3.19.0-32-generic Linux Mint 17.3 (fully updated from this announcement)

  VMware Workstation 12 Pro - 12.1.1. Build-3770994 (fully updated from this announcement)

  Nested ESXi host VM

  ESXi v6.0.0 (Build 3825889, completely updated from this announcement)

  4 cards 'physical' (only 3 used for now)

  -all use the e1000 NIC hardware virtual, but also tried vmxnet3 NIC with no difference

  -vSwitch0 use vmnic0 & 1 vmnet16 of virtual network in a pair of active / standby

  -vSwitch1 uses vmnic2 on network virtual vmnet18

  -vmk0 used for management on vSwitch0 and vmk1 for iSCSI on vSwitch1

  -"Promiscuous" mode and forged passes enabled on all Port vSwitch groups (activating or turning off these features makes no difference)

  Test performed until now

  I checked that all the IP addresses and network masks used are correct.

  With the help of vmkping I ping other nodes on the network vmnet16 with success.

  With the help of vmkping I tried to ping the other nodes in the network vmnet18, but that has failed.

  I have depolyed other non - ESXi VMs on the vmnet18 network, and they are able to ping each other, but are unable to ping or ping by the ESXI host.

  I tried various material virtual NIC as mentioned before, but without changes in the results.

  I tried to use only local network instead of the vmnet18 guest network segments with no change in results.

  When I find out the status of the network adapters on the ESXi host through vCenter or host incorporated client vmnic0 & 1 time display network information, but vmnic2 shows no networks. Yet, I know that there is a network with different VM communicate on it. Moreover, I was able to get all of this work on a Windows system running 10 Workstation (this is the laptop that my employer gives me with).

  Having built nested ESXi labs on different platforms as well as physical environments in the past, I'm very confused as to why I can't get this special configuration to work. At this point my gut tells me that this is probably a bug any with the nested themselves ESXi hosts. Since I can get all this work on vmnet16 including the management of ESXi hosts and the VCSA that I use, I am sure that my vSwitch configuration is correct (other than the IP address space and vmnic configurations is bascially the same). Because I can get other virtual machines to communicate over the network vmnet18 I don't see how can be a VMware Workstation for the issue physical Linux host. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? I read on the ESXi hosts nested under VMware Workstation after having known problems and bugs with networking. If anyone else has experienced this?

  Thanks for any help others can provide!

  Kind regards

  Well, the problem is now resolved. The problem was what covelli was trying to explain, but I couldn't because the physical host network adapters being mentioned.

  The problem on the Linux host, but it was a problem of permissions with the virtual Ethernet adapters. The following article has the fix:
  With the help of Ethernet virtual cards in Promiscuous Mode on a Linux host (287) | VMware KB

  Even if I launched the workstation under the root user I have yet met this problem and which still makes no sense to me, but change the permissions solve the problem. I was not getting an error message on my Linux Mint and Ubuntu system, but when I tried on a second box of Linux Mint that I just got the error has been generated, and the error message was the above link it contains.

  So, here's what I learned:

  (1) the question has nothing to with a VMware Workstation definition that you can configure.

  (2) the question has nothing to do with a physical network card.
  (3) the question has nothing to do with any vmnic on the nested ESXi host.

  (4) apparently virtual Ethernet adapters are not the correct permissions when created.

  All you have to do to fix this is:

  (1) open a terminal.

  (2) run the command ' sudo chmod a + rw/dev/vmnet * "(don't forget to run this each time that you create a new virtual network).

  You can also create a group, as shown in the link above and simply give this group the correct permissions. Personally, I think it's easier to just give everyone the rw permission.

  I appreciate the help that others have offered. I did not understand what was asked for in previous answers because of the terms that have been used.

• VMware View 4.5 Client slow in WAN

  Hello

  We tested VMware View 4.5 Client in WAN and it seems to be slow.

  Not too big gap between RDP and PCoIP.

  How much bandwidth needed a client VMware View 4.5 normally, a normal desktop, non-multimedia user?

  Thanks Mike,.

  Here are some notes more - in addition to sizing guidelines, it may be wise to adapt some of the PCoIP session variables - see the knowledge base article http://techsupport.teradici.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=15164&task=knowledge&questionID=348Teradici.

  In addition, for MPLS to check if the load balancing has been configured for the link?  Per packet load balancing results in fragmented packets that should not be used with PCoIP Protocol.  If you need load balancing MPLS consider using instead the load balancing and the destination.

  If you have not already done so, do not hesitate to ask the team to Teradici - you can send an email to [email protected].

• VMware view for office management

  Our Organization is currently looking in the options of office management. Currently the staff to manage their own desktop computers (run as administrator) and assistance to support (painful, yes I agree). We seek to make progress on the path to a strategy of Fund managed with a product like the MS system center configuration Manager. However, we are also interested the concept of vmware view, since he would theoretically cut down on the need to support and boost security.

  Does anyone have any success stories/reccomendations of implementation of vmware view as a desktop replacement in a common scenario?

  I worked on a project where the customer has replaced desktop 1200 by VDI. Initially they BIG clients like the connection device, but now they also used will be to implement thin clients. It is a client of finance, so that they use Office products, Acrobat Reader and some banking applications.

  You can install it via the tools provided with your ESXi installation. Right-click the virtual machine in the inventory and select comments-> installation / upgrade VMware Tools.

  

  This will mount a CD player in the guest operating system, providing VMware tools. The steps to install on CentOS (i.e. RHEL base):

  root@srv20 [/ TMP] # cd/tmp

  root@srv20 [/ TMP] # mkdir/mnt/cdrom

  root@srv20 [/ TMP] # mount/dev/cdrom/mnt/cdrom

  Mount: block device/dev/sr0 is protected write, read-only installation

• Virtual MACHINE created on VMWare Workstation for Windows - move to VMWare Workstation for Linux?

  I have a bunch of VMs that I built using VMWare Workstation for Windows running on a Win2003 Server 7.1.3. The virtual machine is running Windows XP sp3. Can I move these Ubuntu VM to run under VMWare for Linux, if I buy a license for the current version or any version?

  Thank you

  Yes, but with some reservations.  Of course, Windows and Linux use different ways to represent the paths and devices so a few changes to the virtual machine may be necessary.  All that is hard coded in the configuration file .vmx depicting the paths of type Windows and device names must be changed by the GUI settings or manually edit the .vmx config file.  In addition any virtual machine containing snapshots where the parentFileNameHint in the DescriptorFile of disc, so drowned in a monolithicSparse or the first measure not binary snapshot virtual hard drive, which uses a QPF (fully qualified path name), it will have to be changed.  If you are unsure how to do this then I suggest a delete all snapshots before moving on to another system.

  A Windows VM that fall under the WPA will in all likelihood have to be reactivated if the host CPU are not in the same class.

  If you copy a Windows VM for the delivery of a copy on the source system, that you must have and or get the appropriate number of licenses and or product keys for the copy number you keep.

• Cannot install VMWare tools for linux

  Hello

  I use VMWare player 3.1.4.

  I have a machine, Ubunto 11.04 on which I'm trying to install VMWare tools.

  However, the download process always stops with an error: "not recognized update server data (4007). Try again later... »

  I tried to download from two PC different and two different networks.

  Any idea?

  Thank you

  Try disabling the web Updater by going to Preferences > uncheck the "check the Web for updates at startup".

  You can uninstall and then install vmware player.

  You can also get the tools using Apt - get, instead of by the bias of the player interface. See this page:

• Auto-hide taskbar Client - full screen - VMware View 5

  Hello

  We intend to deploy a VMware View solution to all our staff.

  I'm looking for a way to make the default client full screen WITH the bar higher in auto-hide mode (and all this from the command line).

  

  So far, I found no documented to achieve command line option.

  I know that if the first time you have to click once to release the top bar it will remain like this for the next sessions.

  But I would avoid and explain this to all of the staff.

  Alternatively, if you know a registry/command line option to have this totally hidden bar, I'm interested too!

  Thank you,

  Good day

  Eric

  See the Administration Guide from view for the Client Group policies. The search option is the following:

  The shadow pin

  X determines if the PIN on the shadow at the top of the window View Client is enabled and floating of the menu bar does not occur. This setting has no effect if the shadow is disabled. This setting is enabled by default.
