Re: Virtual Machines and SmartFrog

Hi Julio, 
 
In VMWare Server, my vmnet host , VMNet8, has a gateway mask of
192.168.116.2, are you sure that i do not to change this if i want to
assign IPs on a different subnet, ie 192.168.182...?

Gary

Hi Gary,

 

I don't know what guest os you are using but what you need to do is not
use DHCP and using the configuration tools for your OS, set networking
with the ip and and then reboot. In this way you will always be able to
locate the machines by name or ip.

 

If you make sfdemohost 127.0.0.1 then when you copy this to all the
guest hosts none of them won't be able to locate back the server code in
your laptop because all of them will try to locate themselves.

 

No, you don't need to disable your Ethernet adapter for this to work.

 

You don't need to modify the gateway. 

 

Julio

Hi Julio,

 

How do I set the ip/name in every vm os according to the table? Do i set
my adapter up for DHCP or how can i explicity set ip addresses? What
should my Gateway ip address be set as? As for "sfdemohost" should it
not just be my local address, ie 127.0.0.1? Do i need to disable my
physical ethernet adapter for this to work?

 

Kind Regards,

 

Gary

Hi Gary,

 

I don't have/use vmware server but I use vmware workstation and this is
what I do to make sure that the vms can locate each other:

 

1. Configure VMWare

- Set up VMWare networking to use *only* the NAT/DHCP service (VMNet8)

  disable the other network services

 

2. Configure windows/linux networking  (in host and vms) 

 

- Set ip/name in every vm os according to the table bellow.

 

- Add the following to the Windows HOSTS file

(c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts)

- Add the following to the linux HOSTS file

(\etc\hosts)

 

 

Example:

192.168.182.1  sfdemohost

 

192.168.182.100  sfdemo00

192.168.182.101  sfdemo01

192.168.182.102  sfdemo02

192.168.182.103  sfdemo03

192.168.182.104  sfdemo04

192.168.182.105  sfdemo05

192.168.182.106  sfdemo06

 

 

Once you have finished test with nslookup to see is all the machines can
reach the others. 

 

Then everything should work.

 

Please, let me know if this works for you on VMWServer or if you need
more detailed instructions.

 

Regards,

 

Julio Guijarro

Hey guys, 

I am using VMWare Server, and I am not allowed to use bridged networking
mode (for virtual machines) in my network. How can I set up VMWare
Server so that I can deploy component descriptions to a sfDaemon running
on a virtual machine, from a physical machine?

I have tried using NAT but when I try deployment it either fails, or
deploys to my physical machine (if its running sfDaemon). 

Kind Regards, 
Gary
