Can there be a VM with no mac address?

WebMaster — Thu, 24 May 2012 15:17:17 GMT

Hi Dinu,

Well, you could try manual MAC method but even then you must enter some form of mac address. However, if you delete/remove the Network Adapters from the VM, it shouldn't have any MAC address. Go to VM settings > click on Network Adapter 1 and click REMOVE.

Please let me know if that works?

Just curious, why do you need a VM without mac address?

A few questions on where to begin with VMWare

gilldawg79 — Mon, 14 May 2012 01:52:56 GMT

I have been tasked with building a Host server this week. We have some upcoming projects where virtualizing will be used. The vendors that we will be using support VMware ESXi 4.1, and Vsphere. What we wanted to do this week is build a test box so we can familiarize ourselves with it and talk intelligently with our vendors about it. I come from IT but have spent the last 5 years in Process Control, so I am a little rusty. I am familiar with virtualization, but by no means am I ready to build a box tonight.

I have done some digging around, but I am a bit overwhelmed at all the software from VMware.

The best I understand, VMware ESXi is the hypervisor (CLI COS) is this the small footprint OS to initially build my Virtualized Servers?

Vsphere: Is this a client that I load on another machine to configure/supervise my virtual servers?

The test box we are going to use is an older Dell 2950. I believe it is a 32 bit machine. Can I load VMware ESXi 4.1 on it? This is the version that we need to use as per our vendors.

Basically, we would like to use the 2950 for a test Host, and load a couple of different OS's on it....Probably just some desktop OS's to start with. However, if it's best to just go ahead and load the server OS's for practice we could do that too.

Anyways, just looking for some direction and where to get started.

I would like to purchase a book to help me along the way.....Any suggestions? I was leaning toward the Dummies book, because it looks like it may be geared toward what we are doing.....

Thanks!!

server host virtualization

u_maheshwari — Sun, 13 May 2012 18:27:21 GMT

hello,

what are the factors to be considered when building a test strategy for server host virtualization. ex: functional aspects, performance of the application hosted in the server, user experience when moving from one device to another etc.

can someone tell me what other factors to be considered when the user uses multiple devices when computing in server host virtualized applications?

Qemu-KVM - Win 7 Audio (microphone) recording

NickC — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 11:21:11 GMT

I am having trouble getting audio (microphone) recording working from a Win 7 VM on KVM.

Problem is the only audio recording device present in Win 7 is line-in, no Microphone device. This is the same whether I use VNC or Spice. I have tried many different Linux distros but all suffer with the same problem.

Has anyone has got Microphone Recording Device working in a Win 7 VM, if so how did you do it?

Thanks,
Nick

Help! New to virtualization!

true_virtu — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 16:41:53 GMT

hi,
This is my first post here. :)
I have decided to buy this laptop which has i5 2450M.
It supports intel Vt-x technology, but not Vt-d.

So, can it successfully emulate a guest windows seven on a host windows seven? :confused:

I will have 4GB of RAM @1333 Mhz, and will upgrade if necessary. I am gonna have both linux and windows seven as different host partitions on it.

thx in advance!:D

need some VDI help

mlwilliams — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 23:43:57 GMT

im in uni doing an ICT degree and our material has covered visualization and a small bit about the ideas of vdi. these topics have interested me so i have created a ESXI system with 2008 to learn and mess about with AD.

but now i would like to set up a basic VDI system to learn how to do this in a practical sense. i have some basic networking kit and some old laptops to use.

so im interested in your views on what the best way to get a working trial from my current environment?

I am in my final year in my masters and am looking for respondents for my thesis.

islandgirl808 — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 22:45:43 GMT

My project is based on the challenges and benefits of cloud computing from the perspective of enterprises. I would like to obtain more responses than what I have and would like to have your opinion on how to get additional responses for by final project. Currenty, I have only 4 responses and would like to receive at least a total of 25 respondents. Any suggestions on how I can target people that have adopted the cloud computing environment? I have a survey that contains 11 questions that can be found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2BBDFNS.

Your response is greatly appreciated.

Mahalo.
