Workstation 10 - replicated in cloned VMs IP addresses

Hi all

I have problems with the use in bridge network on Workstation10. I installed a VM (by implementing Bridged networking) with ESXi 5.5 inside the workstation. It came with success and the virtual machine got the IP address. I, then, is a clone of the virtual and powered machine on the real comments and the clone and the cloned VM got the same IP address as the parent VM (it was a full clone).

Can someone please help me this cela?

Found the solution here:

  • Cloning MAC address: Details?

    (BFSR41 c. 4.3) The 'MAC Clone of your PC' web interface clicks the button when two or more local hosts are connected to the router, that is it clone?  One connected to the lowest numbered local port?  The one that is connected to port 1?

    He clone the MAC address of the computer, which gives the command to "clone".   However, you may not be cloning your MAC address when others are connected to the router, as this can lead to temporarily lose their Internet connection.

  • Cannot recover replicated VMs

    I have two clusters of vSphere 5.5 to different places and vSphere 5.8 configured replication to replicate VMs from Site A to Site B. replication does not work normally and all virtual machines have a status of OK. I want to move a virtual machine currently in Site A to Site B.

    I tried to follow the instructions below the link to retrieve the virtual machine in question to Site B:

    http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-55/index.jsp#com.VMware.vSphere.replication_admin.doc/GUID-356D2357-67A5-42CD-91A7-BDEDDCEDA662.html

    The problem I'm having is that when I right click on any virtual machine on the tab inbound replication to Site B, of "valorisation" is greyed out and I can't select it.

    I run a command 'sync' on the virtual machine, I am trying to recover, and synchronization completed successfully, but which resulted in no change.

    I also rebooted vSphere replication device to Site B, but that did not change either.

    I have recovered VMs previously and have not encountered this problem, so this question is a recent development.

    I tried to recover with the Site A virtual machine so turned on and turned off the power and recovery option is grayed out in both cases.

    I need help to understand why I can't recover virtual machines.

    You use the standalone version of VR, or you have installed top SRM? When replicated with VR VMs are included in SRM protection groups, the Recover option is grayed out in vSphere IU of replication. What is your case?

  • Old PITA bread - change the MAC address in VMware Workstation 6.5?

    Some versions of VMware Workstation enabled to manually set the MAC address of the virtual card.

    This possibility has been changed for several reasons.

    My personal opinion is clear.  A virtual machine needs to reflect as much as possible a hardware machine.

    VMware Workstation you can not change the MAC address, or you are related to a limited possibility, were the first hex addresses are fixed,

    so that it shows on the outside, it is a virtual machine.  VMware response is, you must run the server edition.  Well...

    Currently, I have seen, that the recent version of Virtual Box allows you to manually enter the MAC address

    for the virtual Interfaces based on Intel NIC. You can enter any MAC address, including existing material, NIC Intel MAC.

    So my opinion, the possibility of lock-out to COMPLETELY change the mac address of the virtual machine,

    must be activated again for all versions of VMware, as it is the option with other software.

    HM?  As far as I know, we have not added any restrictions.  We do not provide a user interface for it, but manually modifying the .vmx file and change ethernet0.addressType and ethernet0.address to a MAC from another provider address seem to work for me.

    http://sanbarrow.com/VMX/VMX-network-advanced.html#Mac

    I don't think the static MAC addresses are actually limited to the 00:50:56 range.

  • Certificate expired on a server that has only the client VMware and VMware workstation

    Our scanners detected security certificate expired vmware on a server. The only products currently running on this server are VMware workstation and the vSphere client. I looked in all the installed certificates and their lack of vmware. When I open a web browser and go to the IP address of servers using port 443 I get a message of invalid certificate and look a certificate it shows expired recently, and was published by VMware. Where can I find this certificate and what is used to indicated the products installed on this system?

    The certificate was for workstation server configurations (connection sharing VMs/Remote). Just disabled the sharing feature because it is not used.

    Find the certificate in the program data-file VMware. Could not find information on renewal, only how to replace it.

  • Problems with MAC WET11 cloning features

    Hello

    I'm having a devil of a time to set up my v2 WET11 to allow my XBOX be fully connected. I can configure and connect the bridge, ping, ftp files to XBOX etc. Only problem is when I try to play bound. I can see the game in progress on the second XBOX but cannot participate. Related game works perfectly when Xbox is wired to the router.  I know that play bound depends on each game console broadcasting their MAC, so I need to clone the MAC address of the XBOX to use the bridge.

    Unfortunately the WET11 web configuration interface I cannot do. Under Settings/Advanced cloning Mode, all controls are disabled - greyed. This includes the control that allows you to turn on cloning.  I took a shot the script behind the page and it seems that it checks to see if 'disable cloning' is selected and if so, disables all controls of cloning, including one that would allow me to get back on. Since the default value is disabled, it is the programmatic equivalent to lock the keys in the car. You can take a look at here emulated interface:

    http://UI.Linksys.com/files/WET11/v2/advanced.html

    Of course, the demo is fully functional and do not exhibit the problem...

    Many people have described solve their XBOX related play questions by cloning the MAC address of the XBOX and see change settings using the web interface.

    I tried different versions of the firmware 2.06 and 2.07, 2.08 USA 2.08 EU. Same results. Tried the Installer Wizard 1.06 worm, but he does not even include the MAC settings.

    Had two cats different with online support agents and the two seem as puzzled as I am.

    Am I missing something obvious? Depends on the availability of cloning parameters options elsewhere in the config utility?  Is the interface designed for cloning taking place without intervention of the user on the v2 and v1? (doubt)

    Has anyone else seen elsewhere?

    I know that people have written code to pull the strings of parameters off the unit then maybe the reverse is true and I can write the script to directly change the settings.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Rick

    Well well well - apparently the firmware is not totally compatible with IE7. Downloaded Firefox and the interface works as advertised.

  • Replication of vSphere SRM - replica of the lack of virtual machines

    Hello

    I use SRM with vSphere replication and all my virtual machines are properly replicated from my site for my recovery.site as you can see:

    Capture10.png

    My problem is that I don't see all the replica of the VMs replicated in the inventory of the recovery site:

    Capture2.PNG

    So when I was looking for in the web client vSphere replication monitor, I saw that all the virtual machines that are in the inventory of the recovery site are all managed by SRM. And all virtual machines managed by VR finally does not appear in the inventory.


    Capture3.PNG

    Someone at - it never I have this problem or know the solution?

    Concerning

    Hello and welcome to the community of VMware

    The behavior you describe is planned. Between VR and SRM, is SRM work to create what is called 'space reserved VM' on the recovering site.

    If replicate you a virtual machine using vSphere replication but skip protection by SRM, there is no virtual machine being recorded on the recovering Site until you run the RV GUI recovery operation.

    Can I ask you why do you need to see the virtual machine on the recovering site? Even if it is there, you are not able to turn on.

  • Impossible to duplicate the replica comments more than 2 at once--an idea

    When I create a new snapshot and assign a pool View, if I try to clone too much new desktops both cloning fails, but if I clone only 2 at a time until the replica is cloned, I get no error!
    Interestingly, once the clone replica and the source image snapshot desktops, it allows to clone the top 10 or more at a time without any problem!  It also makes it a guest nine, construction for a Windows ISO...

    Any ideas?

    Current configuration:

    3 guests

    Each host has a SSD drive partitioned into 2 partitions for desktop view (not my idea - seeking to consolidate to 1 partition by host)

    ISCSI SAN

  • VMWare Workstation 10.0.1 Crash/Hang up

    Have a situation where VMWare Workstation 10.0.1 crashes all virtual machines and can not even then stop my physical machine itself

    Seems pretty consistent that he does whenever I start a couple of virtual machines.  Can't even kill the process - start another instance of the workstation and that crashes too

    My machine is running Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.  I created a dump file, but it is 446 MB so don't think that I will be uploading it not anytime soon!

    Help!

    Had similar problems in 10.0, but 10.0.1 looks even worse :-(  Think I'm going to be downgraded - perhaps even to 9.0.2 which was strong on the same machine.  Really hope that I didn't not lose my money upgrading to 10

    OK, final update on this - in the end it came down to problem of disk on the host controller.  After a little research I found that many people have problems with Marvell SATA controllers (9230 in my case) where the SSD is attached.  It seems that there are problems with power management features that cause SSDS hang effectively making you into a kind of energy saving mode.

    After many changes of configuration and test in an attempt to move things forward the Marvell controller, I ended up spending my SSD (which hosts the VM readers) works at an Intel controller - in fact, I removed all the RAID config, including standard hard drives of the Marvell controller and run just stand-alone drives off as now (that I ended up having to rebuild RAID1 arrays often enough).

    So now everything works smoothly and no hanging of VMWare Workstation, no matter how many VMS are run/updated... Happy Days!

    So I would say that if you see (Reset of the device, \Device\RaidPort1, has been issued) or similar in your event logs (obviously for Windows only) and then check if you use a Marvell SATA controller - if you are away from your drives (especially the SSDs) to another controller

  • NAT - first usable IP address

    Hi I have a VM workstation with 192.168.10.1 IP address.

    I put the network on VMnet8 (NAT) as follows:

    Network =... address: 192.168.10.0
    Sunbetmask
    Broadcast address =...: 192.168.10.255
    First =... usable IP address: 192.168.10.1
    Last usable IP =... address: 192.168.10.254

    I get the error message there is an IP address that is duplicated on the network. I guess that NAt assigns the first address can be used for the
    Host according to the following instructions:

    http://www.VMware.com/support/WS5/doc/ws_net_advanced_ipaddress.html

    Is it possible to assign the first usable Ip address to VMworkstation and assign a different IP address for the HOST.

    Thanks for your help.

    There are actually 2 reserved addresses by default, XXX1 for the host adapter for NAT virtual and x.x.x.2 for the gateway/DNS server address. You can go to http://sanbarrow.com/network/commandlineguide2vnets.html to see if that helps.

  • Live cloning of virtual machines to ESXi ESXi

    Hello!

    We received a request for a project of construction of a recovery after disaster for their ESXi host. They have a robust with local disks server and another identical that they want to use for this purpose.

    So what they want is direct cloning VMs from Server A to Server B, so if the server goes down, virtual machines can be started from Server B and times of work.

    They do not have a SAN/NAS solution that we could use to share images.

    So does anyone know if it is possible to create a vcli script or a direct clone virtual machines from the hard drive of the server A to Server B's hard drive so that they would work from Server B.

    Best regards, city

    Salvation city,

    Welcome to the forums.

    If your hosts are connected to a vCenter, you can script or plan an operation clone from one host to another. Without vCenter, it's more complicated... You can try the script of a VMware Converter operation or the export of the FVO. There is also the old backup / restore solution.

    Good luck.

  • Cloning of Windows Server 2008 R2 / SID options with VMWare

    Hi all

    I'm trying to deploy virtual machines to a basic model of Windows 2008 R2 Standard (64-bit) and I was wondering what is the best way to give my unique msn cloned VMS?

    Basically, I see that NewSID does not work on R2. I tried to run sysprep - & gt; Generalize about the clones of R2 (area experience off), but after restarting the virtual machine must be re-activated (enter the product key and activate again). In addition, VMWare tools no longer - I found that I have to uninstall and reinstall to get it working again, so the console mouse sensitivity goes down the drain. My screen resolution is also indented by default in the virtual machine and anything on the desktop is erased.

    Running sysprep like this just doesn't seem to be an option, because there is too much of what needs to be sorted again once the clone is done. I might as well be reinstalling the OS on a fresh virtual machine. Is that all I'm missing with sysprep? Sort of leave him alone he put the SID and nothing else?

    It would also be interesting to know what the guys who run Windows 2008 R2 64-bit with VMWare use (VI / ESX 3.5) when it comes to cloning or to deploy multiple virtual machines from a template.

    For example, I just want to be able to clone my base model and get a new SID on each clone that I do. So I want to have another model that has a few additional features or roles installed in Windows and be able to clone from that too. For example, a model of Terminal Server.

    See you soon!

    However, I doubt management will believe that article directly at the exit (even if its written by Mark himself)-this process of newSID'ing is as far as I can see in their heads. May take a while to convince them otherwise.

    If this information on the website of Russinovich doesn't convince them of the contrary, it will be interesting.

    As far as I can tell from this article, as long as I clone models VM that are already part of a domain, I should be fine. In other words if I have a model pre-configured, but are not part of a domain (that is always in a working group) I should be fine if I had to clone 10 of them and put them all on the same network right? From there, I could then take one of these 10 clones, convert to a domain controller, and then take the remaining 9 and add them to this new domain members and all servers should be good - no conflicts or funny happens things of the AD?

    Yes, let the models out of the area and let the sysprep/customization to join them upward when it is deployed.  As long you run sysprep, or through customization, or manually, there should be no problem in AD.

    I guess I always look for an alternative to newsid just to adapt to this as 'political', said at this stage. How you guys don't deploy R2 2008, VMs of clones?

    None of my clients went to U1 or U5 at the moment, there is no R2 2008 deployment in place.  I'm guessing that a manual running sysprep deployed virtual machine might be the best thing to do at this point.

  • Send-LinkedCloneRecompose is not updated to the Image on the pool name

    Hi all

    Using the command "Send LinkedCloneRecompose", everything seems to work properly:

    • The PS command indicates that the workstations will recompose (watch, unchanged VMs: 0).
    • The pool has a task to reconstruct for all desktop computers.
    • Pool tasks window shows that the action recompose for the correct snapshot.
    • A new replica is created in vSphere.
    • Desktop computers are recomposed OK.

    Get-pool-Pool_id "$poolID" | Get-DesktopVM | Send-LinkedCloneRecompose - ParentVMPath "$parentPath" - ParentSnapshotPath "newSnapPath" - annex ((Get-Date).) AddMinutes (1)) - forceLogoff $false - stopOnError $true

    Problem:

    • Check information pool in view administrator, the name of "The Image" shows again the old cliché– it is obviously incorrect. This would normally change to the new name of snapshot if the operation recompose is performed from within the Administrator display.
    • Using Powershell to query pool information, the same details appear - the old name of the snapshot is written.

      > Get-pool-Pool_id "$poolID".

      >...

      > parentVMSnapshotPath: * original old cliché way *.

      >...

    So, is this a bug? Can it be reproduced, or - is this a problem that I am experiencing?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Using LinkedCloneRecompose-sending does not update the configuration of the pool - it reconstructs only the virtual machines to the specified image.

    You must use the command Update-AutomaticLinkedClonePool, use it as below only would change the parent VM and snapshot leaving all other pool settings as they are.

    Run presents first, and then use the send-LinkedCloneRecompose to rebuild the VMs system to the last image.

    Update-AutomaticLinkedClonePool-pool_id «$poolID' - '$parentPath' parentVMPath - parentSnapshotpath «newSnapPath»

    Get-pool-Pool_id "$poolID" | Get-DesktopVM | Send-LinkedCloneRecompose - ParentVMPath "$parentPath" - ParentSnapshotPath "newSnapPath" - annex ((Get-Date).) AddMinutes (1)) - forceLogoff $false - stopOnError $true
