way which restrict what networks is connected to a virtual computer simultaneously

Hello

We try to combine the two clusters of different vsphere into one in order to get the best use of our computing resources.  Each group has its own set of networks inside.  In order to consolidate the two clusters, we would need to present the two networks on the same cluster together.  Group A has a unique network and Cluster B has 4 networks located behind a firewall for use off-production.

Our team of network security was a concern for someone to create a virtual machine with two network cards for a vNIC originally in Group A network connection and an another vNIC connect to a network in Cluster B which is located behind the firewall by creating a bridge between two networks that could bypass the firewall.

Is there a way to deny the ability to have the network of Group A and B cluster network be on the same VM?  Almost like a rule of affinity when you do not allow two different networks on the same VM?  I couldn't find anything on this point and do not know if this is even a feature support, but I thought I'd see if anyone knew.

We are running vSphere 5.0 U3 and want to move to vSphere 6 shortly.  We also use switch Cisco Nexus 1000v for both groups.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the community - if I understand your question, you want to move all hosts in single cluster - if it is the case that the answer is no - if anyone has the ability to create the VM in this cluster they will be able to connect to any network in this cluster - if you put two separate cluster, you would be able to assign permissions to each cluster that allows users the ability to create machines only virtual only within their group.

  • NET application SAN LUN connection for a virtual computer on the network

    Hi guys

    I have a LUN of SAN NetApp ready for a virtual computer that is connected to the network.

    How can I make the virtual machine network?

    I created another vNic and added to it as a secondary virtual machine network, but is there a better way to do this?

    Should I be using the VMKernel network and choose iScsi?

    Thanks, Julien

    Hi Julien,

    Introduce the network of the virtual machine as if it were any other network. No need to have a vmkernel, unless you want to create an iSCSI data store.

    Set up your network inside the virtual machine with an IP address in the same subnet as your storage space. Try to ping of your storage space for the guest. Configure your iSCSI initiator and present your logic unit number on the virtual computer in your NetApp.

  • Lose connectivity to the virtual computer on your laptop when you are disconnected from the network

    Hello

    I have a laptop with a Windows 2003 virtual machine (VPC 2007) with IIS 6.0, hosting a Web site for testing and development.

    Using Dreamweaver and navigation on the site of the XP laptop (VM host) works very well when the network cable is connected.

    Interestingly, this will work, but VERY slowly when plugged into an empty network switch.

    The virtual machine has the laptop computer adapter selected to work. I tried to use a loopback cable and it did not work. I also tried to add the MS Loopback Adapter but not had any luck with that when you set the virtual to use.

    Please can I have some suggestions, laptop user wants to work on this site with the virtual machine when you are away a network connection.

    Thank you

    Tom

    Hello

    Try a static IP on the same subnet to re-branded to map of loop back on the virtual machine and the host.

    Make sure that the subnet is allowed through the firewall.

  • VDI connect to the virtual computer with multiple NICs, use wrong address

    Strange question, we are the double of a VM to autoguiding.  Each NIC is on a different network, and it works very well.  Except when you sign out of the VM with a zero client.  If both network adapters is enabled through the vsphere, zero client the client tries to connect to the virtual machine using a wrong address.  He will try to use the address 172.16.x.x, but the life of the virtual machine and is stored on 192.168.x.x network.  Is there a way to make the NETWORK on 192.168.x.x address network card that zero the client tries to connect?

    Using the network-> Advanced-> advanced-> tab connections maps and links, move the 192.168.x.x network adapter to the top of the list of connections.

  • Connection to the virtual computer

    I disabled the connection to the local network through RDP.

    But I am able to connect through console of the vsphere client.

    How does this work?

    If you disable Network Interface at the level of the comments on a virtual machine or remove completely the vNIC to the VM, it would not affect vSphere Client to allow you to open the Console of the virtual machine.

    examine the console of the virtual machine as if the standard output device connected to your virtual machine. ESXi host running MKS (mouse, keyboard and screen) process for each powered on VM, so opening the virtual machine console is managed by the OS ESXi itself. It has nothing to do with the connection of the virtual machine.

  • No network connection to the virtual computer after migration manually to the new host

    We have added six new hosts to our environment, and I was tasked to test connections of VIRTUAL LAN on each of them before we move VM production of their.  This is probably a simple problem, but I am new to VMWare and need help.  I already talked to our network guys, and he assures me that the physical switches are setup and working properly.  We work a vDS.

    I'm testing 14 VLANs on six new hosts.  All but one are constantly working.  (They all work on the hosts of origin which were in force before.)  I have a static IP configuration on my test VM and MAC is set to automatic.  I checked the MAC does not change when you migrate to other hosts and the VLAN correct is listed in the settings the VM network (it is not empty).  Him VLAN will work on three of the six hosts, but not all at the same time.  The strange thing is that guests at work are constantly changing.  For example, this morning hosts11, 12 and 14 may work, but this afternoon, that could change at hosts12, 14 and 16.  I don't understand why they would change on their own.

    My test consists of VM testing, migration manually, powering back, then he ping from my computer off.  Of course everything works when I get ping responses.  When I get no answers, the test of the virtual machine has a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon in the system tray.

    What should I do to fix this?

    How is the network configured?  You have a different NIC port/cable for each VLAN or Trunking used on the side of the switch?

    If you use circuits on the side of the switch, then your GRPE ports virtual switch a VLAN ID needs to match the vlan is underway to shared resources.  No matter if it's a standard switch or switch distributed... you still need this ID of vlan.

    I've seen the random question that you encounter if missing one or more of of the uplinks on the side of the switch the VLAN.

  • What is the maximum number of vCPU can I connect to a virtual computer?

    Currently, we are conducting a cluster of 3 ESX host.  2 of them run Xeon Dual Core Pro 7140 M and the rest works a Quad-Core Intel Xeon X 5460 CPU.

    HT enabled processor Xeon Dual Core Pro 7140M.  In this way, each female, it shows that 4 logical CPU.

    We would like to know if we can assign 4vCPU to a virtual machine (as required by a server administrator) WHERE we can assign only 2 vCPU maximally?

    Thank you

    I think you should spend some time reading about VMware resources management guide and have a good operation of a CPU scheduling understandings and best practices dealing with vSMP.  As everyone says, it would be unwise to have a virtual machine running 4vCPU or 8 vCPU and I did not see a need for anything that is 8 vCPU but does not mean that it cannot.  It would be nice if you can tell us your current use of the server/application and details of the charge and that would quickly determine 2vCPU is pretty good.  The vCPU more assigned to the virtual machine, takes more time to achieve your requests because it must have enough carrots to do and called "Co planning."  I have attached the guide so that you can read a few details.  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vi3_35/esx_3/R35/vi3_35_25_resource_mgmt.PDF

    It wouldn't surprise if you complain about performance issues when you have tons of 4vCPU or virtual 8vCPU running in the cluster.  Always start with 1vCPU and growth like him.

  • Oracle UCM CIS - user authentication and connection to the virtual computer

    Hello

    I have a few questions. I'm trying to integrate the University Complutense of MADRID with my custom web application.

    (1) is it possible to authenticate users (password validation) if we use CIS to integrate. If this isn't the case, then if the server of the University Complutense of MADRID uses its own database backend and not no matter what LDAP for user management, must make us a call to the database table directly? Any idea on the table?

    (2) if I am trying to connect to a server of the University Complutense of MADRID that runs on a virtual machine, but in the local network, I always get an error like this.
    Failed to retrieve the configuration information for the content Terminal item. Permission denied. Address < < ip address > > ' is not an authorized remote socket address.
    However, if I connect to an instance of the AAU runs on a server instance, the same code is running.
    The server within the virtual machine console is accessible from my m/c through browser. So should I give access to this port to the socket connection 4444. Couldn't find anything on it. Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you
    In depth.

    Hi deep,

    You can restrict access to the content server port 4444 using a filer of ip address in the /config/config.cfg file of

    There is a property called SocketHostAddressSecurityFilter

    You can for example set
    SocketHostAddressSecurityFilter = 192.168.1. * | 10.102.3.3 | localhost
    the list is led separate

    connections from addresses other than these raise the error that you have demonstrated

  • Check if a virtual machine has connected network and connect if it isn't?

    Thus, creating a big deployment VM automation workflow, I need a way to check and make sure that the deployed virtual computer has its connected network. However, I can't seem to find a way to generate scripts which correctly. Any ideas?

    Hello

    There are different strategies. Look at the 'vim3waitDNSNameInTools' action, it waits until the virtual machine arrives with a given host name. Which ensures that this customization is done completely.

    Alternatively you can ping the virtual computer by using the System.isHostReachable () method, find an example here: Ping on the workflow server

    (I remember there were some problems with this method in previous versions, be sure to properly test ;-))

    Another strategy might be to use the operations of comments and call a ping of in the guest operating system (with which you shall vro network connection to the virtual machine itself, you can for example leave the guest operating system ping the address of the gateway or so)

    Kind regards

  • network to access the problem on a virtual computer

    Hello

    I have a server with esxi 4, and I created a new virtual machine. My problem is that I don't know how to configure the ethernet card in my VM.

    The server has a single adapter ethernet, with a public IP address. The network configuration is default of esxi: a physical card connected to a virtual switch. My problem is that I don't know what IP should I give the machine virtual eth0, and how I can tell that this public IP is connected to my virtual computer. Here is my network configuration:

    If anyone can help me, I realize that I'm very bad when it comes to networking

    Thank you

    It cannot be the same IP address as the host. Try one upwards or downwards to the IP address of the host. So that nothing else on the network has the same IP address. Make sure you have the right subnet mask and default gateway (the IP address of your router)

  • Active connections to a virtual machine

    Hello

    I hope just a quick; How to find who is connected to the virtual computer, I'm looking at? VMWare Infrastructure Client tells me "There are three active connections to this console" (just a Windows 2003 Server), but I don't know who they are, and there are two that shouldn't be connected...

    Are there people who have used the RDP to machines? (I'm still the only user listed anyway so I know it isn't)

    Not a direct method to get what you need.  But, if you have the calendar, and the Userid, you can get the address of the PC the vCenter security event log source.

  • Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Scenario is,

    2 initiate a prompt suspension of the VM toolbar

    3. now to resume the virtual machine by using vmrun command into the host machine

    WS t vmrun start xxx.vmx

    Now, the recovery of VM but the smart card reader that was previously connected does not work properly in VM that is to say, sometimes after CV chip card reader driver is uninstalling and a few other times, chip connected to the drive is not available on a virtual computer

    My requirement is after power, smart card reader can stay connected to the virtual computer with the already installed driver and the smart card.

    Kindly help with this problem.

    Dear all,

    I had a work around for this problem. By adding "usb.autoConnect.device0 ="0xVID:0xPID"" this statement to the VMX file, solves this problem, that is, whenever the VM is wake-up by clicking on the link CV or using vmrun commands, it connects the unit in question automatically and it is charging correctly with his driver. Obtaining smart card detected after sleep\hibernate with no problems.

    VID & PID is respective ID of the device that can be seen in the properties of the Device Manager "Device Instance path".
