I have done the following steps:
created a new VM:
--> vim-cmd solo/registervm test_vm.vmx
powering on the VM
--> im-cmd vmsvc/power.on
Now I want to assign the IP address into this VM from the ESXI console. how can I do it. I do not want to use GUI.
1 . change the server management ip address
2. Update the DNS server entries
3. Restart the server management network
4. Restart the management agents
5. Reconnect host to vcenter
6.login to vcenter server web client
7. Select connection

I have a MacOS which is running a jenkins server, I made a backup on another MacOS to test out updates and newer versions of jenkins and plugins.
Original server is running at public IP 195.*.*.*:8080
The backup server:
Im able to access it on any local machine via local ip 192.*.*.53:8080 (set to static).
However I'm unable to access it remotely, even if I set the IP of the backup server (in Jenkins/Configuration/Location - Jenkins URL) to the original servers IP.
for the backup server IP:8080 Port is forwarded on the router(same as the original server's local IP forwarded)
What I'm trying to achieve is, the new backup server should be reachable on the same address, so its a direct clone(except the updates on jenkins) of the old server.
What am I missing, any network guru here?
Thank you!
I am trying to run the infinispan docker image on a Windows 10 machine with docker desktop for windows.
I wrote a small test Java program that connects to localhost:11222 using hotrod and accesses a cache.
The problem is that after the initial connect the client receives from the server a new address 172.17.0.3:11222 and it fails connecting to this address because this is a docker internal one and
docker desktop for windows cannot route messages directly to an internal container address.
Is there any workaround available in infinispan or on the windows machine ?
The simplest solution is to disable the handling of topology updates in your Hot Rod client:
infinispan.client.hotrod.client_intelligence=BASIC
More information about client intelligence here.
Note that this is not recommended in production: the client will ignore new servers coming up and it will keep trying to contact the servers in the initial server list long after they stop.
Trying to automate ovf installation on a ESXi server.
I am able to deploy the ovf using ovftool then when I powered-on that vm it ask for input immidiatelly in boot console.
/vmfs/volumes/Datastore-3/vmware-ovftool/ovftool -dm=thin -ds=<datastore> --acceptAllEulas "<ovf_path>" "vi://<username>:<password>#<esx host>"
Note : I am using a custom OVF which ask for inptu before starting boot process.
if I use vSphare clinet to connect to guest vm then I can interact with that VM console and provide required input.
But I need to do it from command line.
As I need to automate the process of OVF deploy and system configuration.
I can easily login to ESXi host termimal via SSH.
But how to get VM terminal from ESXi host terminal.
In some blog I found that the defaule terminal of Guest VM is serial.
I have also tried PowerCLI tool but no luck!!
you can try vmrc.exe
It can be used to get console of ESXi guest VM without using vSphare Client.
But as per your requirement, I think its not fully automatiable.
Once you get the remote console you need to do some GUI automation to interact with Guest VM console.
Example of vmrc.exe command :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Remote Console\vmrc.exe" vmrc://<ESXi host username>#<ESXi host IP>/?moid=<VM ID>
I got a Rails application (running on Thin server) running on my Ubuntu VM, how can I be able to access it from my Windows 7 OS? I already have the VM bridge option enable.
I tried using the IP address from my Ubuntu VM directly to my windows 7 browser, but nothing happens, is there a way to do that?
Yes, you can:
You need a Bridged adapter for your Virtual Machine
You need to know your VM's IP address (ifconfig | grep inet on Ubuntu)
Your VM needs to be turned on AND running the server
Then in your Windows 7 (or other computer in your local network, your smartphone for instance) you can open a browser and go to your VM's IP address + port (usually 3000).
So, the address to put in your browser might look like this:
http://192.168.1.5:3000/
This question is similar to Access IIS on Windows server 2012 through wireless directly without router we tried some of the windows 8 applets to set up a shared connection but none are successful on windows server 2012.
On the 2012 server we are from command line running
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=haxxy key=txectxec keyUsage=persistent
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
The above completes successfully and we can try to connect.
But a computer connecting is not getting assigned an ip address.. how can i get the wifi to have an ip or to offer the servers dhcp?
If i do ipconfig non the server the wireless has been assigned 192.168.173.1 - but im unsure what provided that ip address.
If i go to the server's dhcp under server bindings the 192.168.173.1 ip address is not available from there.
The http://www.connectify.me free verson worked and was nice so we bought paid version. The scripts at Dror Gluska (2012) - http://uhurumkate.blogspot.co.il/ got me close.
