Defining IP Address and DNS configration on VMWare server?

plz suggest as mentioned in subject.
We have SuSe LINUX Version ans wants to define IP Address and DNS setting.
We get some error which looks like as resulted due to IP or DNS setting.
Guys..guide me to correct forum if reqd.

Using VMWare there are two issues to keep in mind.
a) Which kind of network are you using in VMWare
b) Set up the IP information in your VMWare guest (SuSe)
a) There are three network types in VMWare, host only, bridged and NAT.
Usually I use host-only for my machines as they are used for internal testing.. Bridged will connect to the real network and maybe you get an IP address from there (when DHCP is used). NAT will use you computers IP and translate it.
b) Setting the IP is easy - just use YAST and configure the IP address of your machine (either fixed or using DHCP). Setting up a DNS server yourself is out of the scope of this posting. Look on the internet for a howto to set up your DNS server. If you just need to configure a DNS server with your IP this can be done with YAST.

How to change the name / IP address and domain name for BOE Server

Hello,
We want to change the name / IP address and domain name for BOE Server, please could you indicate the steps or procedure to follow?
I need your help
thank you

If it's 3.1 just change them, shouldn't cause any issues if by domain name you are referring to changing the domain the computer belongs to. If you are changing your domain for AD authentication then you will may have to take quite a few steps if the old domain is going away. Let us know.

How to setup a static ip address and DNS on airport extreme using the iOS Airport Utility?

I am at a location that only has wired ethernet. The ethernet connection has a specific Static IP address, subnet, gateway, and DNS setting. I cannot seem to find how to enter DNS settings using the Apple Utility on an iPad. HELP!!!

First, I am assuming that you are trying to administer your AirPort base station for a static IP address using the iOS version of the AirPort Utility ... correct?
If so, then to do so:
Start the AirPort Utility app on the iPad
Select your base station.
Select Edit
Select Internet Connection
Select Static
Enter the appropriate IP address information
Select Done
Sorry, it does not appear that direct input for DNS IP addresses is an available option with this version of the iOS AirPort Utility app. Not sure why this was not included.

Allocating a (local/in-house) IP address and DNS entry for a cabled Ethernet printer

I have an MI424WR Fios modem/wireless router. I have a laser printer connected to it using standard CAT-5 cabling.
I have tried several times to create a persistent enough IP address so that I can configure a Windows (Windows 7 and Windows 8) printer and printer port and get it to work over time. On ever other router I've had, I was able to configure a static IP address and configure a local DNS entry for it (which meant I could just configure printer ports looking for http://colorlaser - very easy to remember)
I think I have it working, then I leave it for a few days and the IP address evaporates and the driver stops working. The MI424WR advanced menus are nearly indecipherable (compared to *every* other home router I've ever used) and I'm running out of curse words to use when trying to get this to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Flydog
(PS: I'm very impressed that your "Spell Check" refuses to recognize "Fios")

I've solved this exact issue by configuring a static DHCP lease in the router for the printer. This way, I don't have to change any settings in the printer; which can be difficult depending on how the printer is configured.
Yes, I agree that the Actiontec router has a rather unfriendly interface. However, it is quite powerful once you figure out where everything is hidden.
Here's the process to setup a static DHCP lease for a printer (or any other device):
Make sure your printer is on and assigned an IP address.
Login to router
Click "My Network" in the top banner menu.
Click "Network Connections" in the left hand menu.
Click "Network (home/office)" in the Network Connections box.
Click "IP Address Distribution" in the Network (home/office) Properties box. Note it is hard to notice this is a link - click on the words.
Click on the "Connection List" button at the bottom of the IP Address Distribution Box.
Locate your printer in the list. The host-name may be something assigned by the router.
Click on the edit button in the Action column for the printer. The edit button is the center icon with a pencil on it.
Click the "Static Lease Type" checkbox.
Click Apply.
Click the edit button for the printer's DHCP entry AGAIN.
Now, you can set the IP address to any value within the router's DHCP range. You may also want to change the host name to something that make sense to you.
You can also try the "New Static Connection" at the bottom of the DHCP connection window, however I've not had much luck with it.
Good Luck!

Communicate with cRIO when IP Address and DNS Name changes over Network Variables

I am developing a LabVIEW software for an European Project using cRIO-9074 and RT Application Reployment to update all cRIO devices with the last version.
To communicate with the cRIO devices I have also developed some applications that are outside cRIO on LabVIEW Project that uses Network Variables to Read/Write to the devices.
When I am developing the software, everything works just fine because the LabVIEW Project knows the IP Address on my cRIO device. However, when I use RTAD to install the software and then my applications outside the LabVIEW Project, the aplications are, not always able to find the device when the IP address changes.
I have tried to replace the IP Address with the DNS Name but no success. When I change the router that is connected to the cRIO, the DNS Name also changes.
With this, my question is how can I solve this sistematic problem? Should I change any configuration on MAX, in LabVIEW Project and/or in the applications to be able to always find the cRIO? Is it possible to have a field on the application to insert the IP Address of the device to connect? If yes, how can I do this?
Best regards,

Quintino,
You can programatically open connecitons to Shared Variables. This allows you to decide at runtime the IP address, lib name and SV name you wish to connect to. I've attached a vi snippet the demonstrats an Action Engine to handle the connection to a SV named "Parameters".
I normally store the cRIO_Settings in a .INI file that is easy to modify.

HH5 issuing wrong IP and DNS address

My Win7 desktop pc is connected via ethernet to a HH5 and worked until this morning when it wouldn't connect to the internet. Various restarts of pc and HH didn't work so I checked the properties of the pc network. It stated that the IP address was valid (192.168.1.65) but the DNS was 192.168.0.254 instead of 192.168.1.254. After I changed it it worked OK so I manually set it to the DNS values in the HH5 setup of 62.6.40.162.
All is working on my pc but now my win7 laptop is having the same problem when connected wirelessly to the HH. Also my Brother wireless printer wouldn't connect so I restarted it's network wizard which seemed to work until I checked the IP address and it's 192.168.0.104 so can't be seen by other devices.
However, assorted iPads and iPhones all seem to connect and get the correct IP and DNS addresses OK giving good internet access.
This only started this morning and as far as I know nothing has changed.
What is going on ?
Oh and I have already tried a factory reset of the HH5 by sticking a pin in the reset hole.

Try disabling IPv6 on the Windows machines.
This suggestion by forum member gg30340, should fix the problem.
Select Start
In the Start Search field type ncpa.cpl and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
In the new window, right-click on your Wireless Network Connection and select Properties.
In the This connection uses the following items section, remove the tick beside (i.e. disable) Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and then press OK.
Left click on Internet Protocol IPV4, click on properties. Check the options to obtain IP address and DNS Server address automatically.

[solved] vmware server 1.0.4 build 56528 and kernel 2.6.25

hi,
i updated to kernel 2.6.25 and tried to reinstall vmware server 1.0.4 build 56528 according to the wiki description.
running the vmware-any-any-update-117-very-ALPHA.tgz patch failed, because vmware-2.6.25.sh tries to patch vmblock.tar, which does not exist. instead of this there is vmppuser.tar in the sources directory.
any ideas?
thx & rgds

Yeah I have this exact same problem with the current stable version of VMware. I will definitely try the beta 2.0 and see if my laptop can run Autodesk Inventor with it in a virtual Windows environment.

Windows server 2012 as primary DC and DNS server and windows server 2003 as secondary DC and DNS

Migration from windows server 2003 AD DC and DNS server to windows server 2012 R2,
Cannot I set up Windows server 2012 R2 as primary DC and DNS , windows server 2003 as secondary DC and DNS ? (for backup server when server 2012 fail, user can continue to login and access internet services)

You can mix both as long as your Forest and Domain Functional level are Windows Server 2003. However, I would like to bring your attention to this blog about known problems when mixing DCs with Windows Server 2003 and 2012 R2 OS:

Running VMware Server 2 services as a non-root user

Hello,
I have switched from VirtualBox to VMware Server 2 on my Arch64 server and the transition has been relatively painless. I am at the point now where I want to run VMware's services as a non-root user account (I have a service account called "svc-vmadmin" that I'd like to use). I'm generally not comfortable running services as root, but at the same time I'm conscious of the time and effort required vs. overall benefits.
I've done the usual Google searches and even checked the VMware Server 2 user guide and the VMware community, but I can't find specific details on how to achieve this.
Is this even plausible in a Linux environment? I used to run VMware Server 1 under the SYSTEM account on Windows Server, so I'm hopinga similar thing can be done on Arch.
I would greatly appreciate any information or personal experience that fellow Archers can share.
Thanks,
Thom

System services are handled by launchd.
If you look in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ you'll see a plist file for each service including org.isc.named.plist, the plist for named.
If you edit this file you'll see it's an XML document that describes the service and how the OS should handle it, including the part:
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/sbin/named</string>
<string>-f</string>
</array>
Just append another entry in the array that says <string>-u nobody</string> (or whatever username you want to run as.

How to Convert standalone .OVF\VMDK file to VHD, without having a VMWare server. We have a .OVF file on USB drive

How do I Convert standalone .OVF\VMDK file to VHD, without having a VMWare server. We have an .OVF file on USB drive. Running Hyper V 2012 SP1 and need to convert this to run on our system. Basically a vender of ours has decided
not to house our servers that they used to support one of our environments. They used VMware and we are a Hyper V shop. Now they are sending it back in an OVF format and telling us to convert it to VHD. Only tool I found was Microsoft converter
tool and you need a VMware server to do that. The exporter tool is another but doesn't actually do any conversion. Can anyone help?
Thanks

If the Java application must be stand-alone you must not deploy it on WebLogic, then WebLogic will manage its lifecycle.
In this case you can use the CommonJ API and use the timermanager if it must run on a certain time. More information
of how to do this can be found here: http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=5569
If you keep the Java application stand-only and want to use a cron job you can follow the example presented here: http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=7065
Note that the example runs a WLST script, but you can follow the same steps to run your Java application.

Standard Upgrade Path from VMWare Server?

I've been using VMWare Server for years to test my software. Specifically I have 2 "beige box" PCs running CentOS running VMWare Server running various versions of Windows Server as domain controllers and file servers as well as numerous workstations. I have a complete mini multi-domain Windows network. When I run the tests for my software it really pushes the 2-3 vms involved with a lot of network communication and some disk activity.
With care and some brute force this has worked well. At least I don't need a stack of PCs. And it's free so it's hard to complain. But unfortunately it's not terribly reliable. The web interface stops working - sometimes only after a day. Clocks drift causing authentication issues. Generally bad things happen if I try to run more than 2 images on the same server. I've gotten to be pretty good at combating these problems but I'm hoping to find something a little more reliable.
So now I'm willing to actually pay for something (gah!) and I would like to upgrade. But VMWare has so many products I just have no idea what I should be looking for.

Ok. Two people say use ESXi so I guess I'll just try to burn an ESXi DVD and see what it's like. But ...
Is performance really good enough to compile large projects and do backups over and so on?
VMware Server has worked well enough for me over the years but performance was not like real hardware. But the real problem was reliability. If I ran more than 2 VMs at a time, eventually they would just get their tentacles in a tangle and I would have to kill them and delete lock files and bah! I'm going to assume by your endorsement that ESXi doesn't have any of these problems.
Also, the machine I'm using is a lowly DELL i660 i3-3240 with 8GB of memory. I paid $429 USD for it at a local consumer electronics store! This is no server. Will it even work?

How to determine which IP address and port is used to make DNS queries?

I am using JNDI/DNS API to query a Enum server (Tel URI resolution in VOIP world) what is a DNS server.
But I have many network interfaces, in a VLAN environment, and I must to specify from which interface (and port)
all the requests are sent.
When I read the code of JNDI/DNS API (in JDK 1.5) and specially the DNSClient class, I can see that the
DatagramSocket is created without parameters... : udpSocket = new DatagramSocket();
How can I specify the IP address and port to use for my client???
Thanks for your help.

I must to specify from which interface (and port) all the requests are sent. You don't have to specify the interface unless your static unicast routing tables are incorrect, and you never have to specify the port unless some lunatic is in control of your firewall.

"Back to my Mac isn't working properly because your DNS server isn't responding. Contact your ISP for an alternate DNS server address, and enter it in Network Preferences".

Hi, i am trying to setup back to my mac at home but I get the error "Back to my Mac isn't working properly because your DNS server isn't responding. Contact your ISP for an alternate DNS server address, and enter it in Network Preferences".
There is no documentation on how to solve this anywhere.
I have an Arris router set to bridged mode which is connected to a 5th generation airport extreme. I have tried using the google dns servers instead of the one assigned by the cable company in the AE but I still get the same error.
Any help would be much appreciated

New to BTMM, I got stung today with the silly DNS problem message. Solution:
1) Flush DNS cache with:
dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
2)System preferences > iCloud > untick BTMM then tick it again. The warning should have disappeared.
Edit #1
Apologies for the noise. The warning has come back
Edit #2
Just found out that BTMM is not compatible with double NAT. That's not helpful.
