AnyConnect VPN on Mac - Can't SSH to Virtualbox Virtual Machines

Hi,
I'm running AnyConnect version 3.1.05170 on my Mac.  I'm also doing SW Development on multiple Virtual Machines on my Mac via VirtualBox.  When I connect via VPN, I can no longer SSH to my Virtual Machines.  I'm sure there is a rules setting or something that is killing my "Host Only Network" in VirtualBox so I can no longer access them.  The worst part is that even if I Quit the AnyConnect Client, I still can't SSH to my Virtual Machines, so whatever rule is put in place doesn't go away when I disconnect the tunnel.
Has anyone witnessed this or have a suggestion on how to go about solving it?
Thanks,
- Curt

Hello,
I just encountered the same problem. To solve it, I checked the box "Allow Local (LAN) access when using VPN (if configured)" in the preferences of AnyConnect.
It's working fine for me but I am using Parallels and not VirtualBox.
Regards
David

    http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/forms/forms/p4_relnotef.pdf

  • Can I backup some Azure Virtual Machines at same recovery point by Azure Backup ?

    Can I backup some Azure Virtual Machines at same recovery point by Azure Backup ?
    I want to recovery some related Azure Virtual Machines at same recovery point.
    Senario:
    Azure Virtual Machine 1. some servers for Web servers.
    Azure Virtual Machine 2. a server for SQL server.
    Azure Virtual Machine 3. a server for File server.
    Regards,
    Yoshihiro Kawabata

    Hi Yoshihiro,
    Azure IaaS VM backup is a VM level backup and each VM backup will create its own recovery point.  You can trigger backups in a staggered fashion typically you backup SQL, File server followed by web server, but there is no way to make it a single recovery
    point.  Are there any specific reasons you need this capability?
    Thanks,
    Vijay

  • Disconnecting WEB SSL VPN client windows 7 to remote windows 7 virtual machine

    Good morning,
              my problem, common to other colleagues who use Windows machines 7 Professional is this:
    I connect to WEB SSL VPN Cisco from Client Windows 7 Home Premium Explorer-9 to a virtual machine Windows 7 Professional using a specific professional audience and vpn user. I access the Terminal Services window (attached JPG) with a list of links to virtual machines.I connect to the virtual machine in Remote Desktop Full Screen mode and log in with the same user and password. For the connection is installed an add-type control ActiveX CISCO Portforwarder Control version 3.1.0.1, file name -> cscopf.ocx.
    Problem: The session window once inside the virtual machine disappears and disconnect from the virtual machine back in the window of choice of Terminal services available. This always happens and there is no way to maintain a stable connection.With modality not FULL SCREEN, the session window would seem to remain stable but however is impossible to work in a small window.
    This problem is raised after the update windows 7 to SP1 both Home premium and Professional. In fact before the update the connection is stable. The update to SP1 update the RDP client microsoft to version 6.1.7601.17154 from version 6.1.7600 but i do not know if this the cause of the problem.
    Have you an update of CISCO active-x to fix the problem? I cancelled the file and download the last version but the problem remains.
    Workaround: Use local virtual machine with xp or windos 2003 and access form this operating system but I consider absurd to use a local   
                        virtual machine to access a service which should be directed
    Note: This problem does not occur if the VPN session to the virtual machine Windows 7 is launched from a host machine running Vista Home Premium with RDP Client 6.0. My previous PC had this OS and I was working in an absolutely stable by performing the same type of connection.
    Host Operating System: OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
    OS virtual machine accessed via ssl web vpn: OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
    Can you help?Thank you.
    Carmelo Orlando
    No

    The same problem here as well.
    I am using a Win7 PC to connect to an Win Vista PC via SSLVPN. Once i logged into the remote PC, the session is disconnected.
    Do we have any corrections from Cisco for the moment?

  • Hyper V Manager can on longer manager all virtual machines

    We have this issue have in few client of ours running 2012 or 2012 R2. From time to time those Hyper V base will lose the ability to manage all the virtual machines. There is nothing in Hyper V manager and you can't add itself into the management console.
    Restart the hyper V manager service do nothing for it. the only way we can do is get into each each vms to shut them down and do a  restart on the hyper V base OS. Those affected some are clustered some are just stand alone. 
    Lin Xiang Correct Solutions

    Ive run into this issue on stand alone hyperv hosts and so far, one for one, it affects VMs associated with a virtual switch the management OS is excluded from.  Determine which virtual switch the affected VM or VMs are associated with. Next, in
    Virtual Switch Manager, highlight the correct virtual switch, then check to allow the Management OS to share the network adapter.  Click Apply.   The switch will briefly disconnect and reconnect. This appears to reset the switch and make the
    vm accessible for management.  After the issue is resolved, if needed, you can uncheck the box again to exclude the Mgmt OS from participating on the nic/virtual switch.  I have not found documentation from MS to support this, but it has worked for
    me on many occasions. Hopefully, MS will address this bug at some point. 

  • My mac can't connect to my time machine for backup

    My mac wont connect to the time capule for backup - any ideas why this may happen and how to fix?

    Hello stianlo
    There are a few things that you can try that are located in the articles below to get you backing up again.

  • With a new Mac, can you join your previous Time Machine backups?

    I'm sure this has been answered elsewhere, but my searches couldn't find a specific answer.
    So here' the deal.  I got a new rMBP to which I transferred data (via a Time Machine backup) from my old Macbook Air.
    Am I correct that on the new computer there is no way to "rejoin" the previous backups and that a new Time Machine backup "thread" must be started?
    Assuming that's the case, I'm guessing you also should delete the old TM backup files since they'll be useless).
    Thanks.

    *No, what I want is the ability to continue backing up to my existing Time Machine drive when I upgrade to a new computer.*
    I think your scenario is possible with one single possible problem - the first time you plug the TM hard drive to the new computer it will want to copy the entire hard drive. If your TM can't hold the old computer's backup files and the entire contents of the new computer you have a small problem. But it it can then you wind up with two backups, one from each computer. However, when you need to restore from your TM files, my understanding is, you can pick from any computer's backup files. In other words, you don't lose anything. It just isn't as smooth as what you want. After a couple weeks have gone by and you are sure your computer is working fine and is stable, you can erase the folder containing the old computer's TM files because you've already developed a couple weeks of your new system.
    If your TM drive isn't big enough to back up the new computer, I'm not sure what your options are other than to buy a new bigger hard drive, clone the TM files onto it and then do as I suggested above.
    Remember, TM is a version 1 product and we've plenty of proof that Apple is listening to us. Use feedback to describe your scenario and how you want it to work. Version 2 may well incorporate some of your desires.

  • Can't pay for the virtual machine!!

    I had created a VM three days  ago and I  login and everything running fine. Then I couldn't use my free trial, so i convert the package to pay-as-you-go. Today I can't even pay for it. I don't know what is happening. Anyone can provide
    some advice on this? Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Did you  received any notification or error message when failed to connect to Azure VM? Can you logon to the Windows Azure Management portal? Please post more information for further analysis.

    eg
    from
    disk = ['file:/OVS/running_pool/OVM_EL4U5_X86_HVM_10GB/system.img,hda,w',
    'file:/OVS/running_pool/OVM_EL4U5_X86_HVM_10GB/oracle10g_x86.img,hda,w',
    ',hdc:cdrom,r'......
    to
    disk = ['file:/OVS/running_pool/OVM_EL4U5_X86_HVM_10GB/system.img,hda,w',
    'file:/OVS/running_pool/OVM_EL4U5_X86_HVM_10GB/oracle10g_x86.img,hba,w',
    ',hdc:cdrom,r' .......
    this way you mount you system image root volume as a device [hda]
    and your oracle10g image as a device [hdb]

  • Total noob Q: Can I run virtual machines on a MacBook Pro ?

    My apologies for entering totally green, folks. My last Apple was the first Mac I bought in university, sold quickly, and preceded by a bunch of ]['s. Sadly, I have been living under a rock for 20 years, and just this year spent $200k at IBM for servers etc in a pro capacity ...
    My problem is that I am not gonna buy one more piece of lame Lenovo garbage ever again, and I need a new notebook.
    The time has come where I am considering the change. I'd enjoy it really, to crawl out of this shell.
    Because I am a total noob, the answer to my question is probably so easy for you folks ...
    I need to keep Windows for now. I need to run Linux. I need to VM a few Novell 6.5 servers as I transition them to SUSE, and I have precisely zero MacOS apps at the moment.
    With this said, does it make sense to consider a fully optioned MacBook Pro to take the place of a highest-end Thinkpad, to do the above (and more), using a Virtual Machine technology ?
    My first months with a Mac would probably be spent in virtual machines as I get with the program, but I really do want to get out of this situation that nobody makes a good PC anymore and the best Wintel box seems to a Mac.
    I want to believe. Please help me.

    check
    http://www.kju-app.org/kju/
    Q is a free virtual machine, and can run windows and linux. You can also install win and linux and have triple boot. For information:

  • Excuse me ! Can a virtual machine run on the more physical servers ?

    If a physical server has two CPUs , I have two physical servers for OracleVM group.
    Can Oracle VM create a virtual machine which have 4 CPUs ?
    This is a kind of HPC (High Performance Computing ) .
    Is it possible ?
    Thank you !!!!!!!

    Unless this is some trick question then yes you can.

  • ASA 5505 AnyConnect VPN Can RDP to clients but can't ping/icmp

    Hello all,
    I've been searching all day for a solution to this problem. I setup and SSL anyconnect VPN on my Cisco ASA 5505. It works well and connects with out a problem. However, I can't ping any internal clients, but I can RDP to them. It may be something simple and I would appreciate any help. Most of the time people end up posting their config so I will as well.

    Your config actually looks good (you have the ACL that would allow the echo-reply back since you don't have inspection turned on) - are you sure this isn't a windows firewall issue on the PCs?  I'd try pinging a router or switch just to make sure.

    Hi all,
      I am running Anyconnect VPN Client 3.1.02026 on Mac OS X 10.8.3.  I am unable to connect to my corporate network as the connection fails with following error :
    The VPN client was unable to successfully verify the IP forwarding table modifications.  A VPN connection will not be established.
    Can anyone suggest remedies. I am completely stuck. I had an older AnyConnect client and it was working until  a few days back when it stopped working. I then upgraded to 3.1.02026.
    As suggested in some of the pots on the web, i  have disabled the following  AirPort, Bonjour, Bluetooth, Adium, restarted after these changes and yet i am seeing this.
    My company has corporate license for Cisco AnyConnect VPN.
    TIA

    Or is there a problem with both OS's writing stuff to the
    ~/Home/Library folder that may be incompatible?
    Yes, big time.  Mail, for sure, has a different file/folder structure, and would not be happy.
    Plus, a number of apps (Apple and 3rd-party) are "Sandboxed."  That's a security feature, to prevent malware or bad coding from affecting things it shouldn't.  Some of their files, including the preferences files, aren't even stored in the same places!
    Or to other places I'm not aware of?
    Probably.  If you have two versions of the same app, they may or may not expect the same data setup.
    To have one User folder for both OS's would save a lot of drive space
    Not if you use some or all of woodmeister50's suggestions. 
    But I'm also not sure how I'd use Time machine with such a set up.
    Just as you do now.  By default, Time Machine backs-up everything (except things like system work files, most caches and logs, trash) for all users and all internal drives & partitions.  By default, it excludes external drives.
    You can change those defaults, of course, via TM Preferences > Options.
    See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #32 for details and considerations of multiple drives.
    Presently I backup with . . . clones to other HD's
    Good.   Yes, clones are different.  You need multiple "tasks" to back up multiple drives/partitions.  But once set up, that shouldn't be a big deal.

  • Can I ssh to a Mac that's booted into Safe Mode?

    I'm needing to ssh to a Mac that's been booted into Safe Mode (I'm already able to ssh to it in normal boot mode, and I know how to boot it into Safe Mode from the command line, i.e. sudo nvram boot-args="-x", then sudo reboot).
    I can't just test this for myself, as it has to work first time, otherwise I'll be locked out of the remote Mac. If ssh would still work in Safe Mode, the plan is to then ssh to it and issue the command to set it back to normal boot mode (with sudo nvram boot-args="") and then reboot... job done.
    Ideally, but not too important, I could VNC to it in Safe Mode instead, but ssh would do fine.
    Does anyone know (for sure!) please?
    In case anyone wondered, I'm wanting to do the Safe Boot because I'm told it can cure an issue with Adobe CS apps freaking out and locking up, crashing etc. I want to try this over the w/e, and have no physical access to the Mac. I've already set it to power on later (via pmset) - something I do routinely.
    I thought an answer to this would be easy to find, but after Googling I've drawn a blank. Can't find it in any Apple docs either.
    Thanks in advance!

    If this was already covered somewhere else, I
    apologize. I did some browsing for this topic but had
    no luck finding anything...
    Anyhoo, I'm trying to log in to my wife's B&W G3
    (running Jaguar) from my G4 (running 10.4.2) using
    secure shell but she doesn't have a password set up
    on her computer. When I enter the ssh command in
    Terminal, it asks for a password — I don't enter
    anything and just hit the Return key. It returns with
    a massage saying "Permission denied, please try
    again." What can I do to log in w/o setting up her
    machine with a password first?
    If you want to use SSH securily I would suggest you disable password authenticaiton altogher. If you setup public key authentication it is more secure and better than using passwords anyway.
