VWLC with AP1602 + VMware Workstation Multiple IP

Hello,
I have configured a new vWLC system with AP1602's. I have followed the manual and used FlexConnect. Everything is working fine but when I connect the VM's on my laptop they don't get a DHCP address. If I assign a static IP it works. I'm not able to find anything in the manuals.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks,
Bryan

Debugging the internal DHCP server is typically a matter of finding a client that is having a problem getting an IP address. You need to run these debugs:
    debug client <MAC ADDRESS OF CLIENT>
The debug client is a macro that enables these debugs for you while focusing the debug out only on the client MAC address that you have entered:
    debug dhcp packet enable
    debug dot11 mobile enable
    debug dot11 state enable
    debug dot1x events enable
    debug pem events enable
    debug pem state enable
    debug cckm client debug enable
The main one for DHCP issues is the debug dhcp packet enable command that is enabled automatically by the debug client command.

  • Bridged networking not working with nested VMware Workstation

    I am having an issue that I can't seem to find any answer to.... 
    We are running Vsphere 5.5 and I have 2 Guests each running Windows 7 64-bit.  Each of these guests has VMware Workstation 10 running on them.  When we P2V the systems we followed all the instructions to allow nested VMware Workstation.  However, we are running into an issue where the Bridged Networking will not work.  Both of the Win7 guests are on the same vlan and all of the VMs in Workstation are on the same network as well.  However, while the 2 Windows 7 guests can ping each other and each of the guests can ping the VMs that are hosted locally, they cannot connect to the systems on the other guest running workstation.
    I tried to upgrade the Guest NIC to VMXNet3, but that did not help. 
    All of the research I have done brings me to people who are having the opposite problem (ESXi nested in VMware Workstation). 
    How can I get the 2 bridged networks to connect?
    Thanks!

    The ESXi vSwitch to which the outer guests are connected must be configured for promiscuous mode and forged transmits.

  • Not able to install server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .

    Dear Team,
    Thanks in advance. 
    I am facing an issue when installing server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .
    This is the error message i get ''windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.'' 
    i have tried changing the initial install option of OS  to ''other''. But still its the same.
    Finally i have installed it without adding the OS disk in the initial setup. But the problem here is that its asking me activation key. 
    if you have the activation key for 180 days please let me know.

    I have the same problem here.
    With VMWare Workstation 10, downloading and using the Windows 2012 R2 ISO evaluation to test.
    Shortly after booting up with the ISO, it complains about this message:  ''windows cannot find the microsoft software
    license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
    BUT, if you uninstall VMWare Workstation 10 and install VMWare Workstation 9, no problem.
    Something wrong with either VMWare Workstation 10 or Windows 2012 R2.

  • VMware Workstation 5 & vmware-any-any added to AUR

    As it became clear from comments added to the vmware-workstation 6 package in aur i was not the only archuser that wanted to stay with workstation 5 (license isssues) i decided to make an aur package of it.
    I used the pkgbuilds for vmware-workstation by miklos, romashka & pizzapunk and adapted them.
    During testing the package i found i needed the vm-any-any updates to make it run with the latest kernel (as expected) , so i've made an aur package for that also.
    To avoid confusion with the vmware-workstation package i've named my package vmware-ws5 .

    I managed to get the problem fixed by switching to vmware server 1.0.4. The I mounted the "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server\solaris.iso" CD-ROM. The CD-ROM contains one file, which I unzipped, and then extracted the single tar file. After reading the doc/INSTALL file I ran the setup script. I accepted all the defaults, and after the script completed things started working fine.

    Thanks for your help in advance

    Hi,
    I am not sure "shared disks" works with every VMWare Workstation version.
    Also CentOS is not a supported OS for Oracle RAC.
    I personally would advice taking Oracle Linux (which is also free) and use Virtual Box, because I know shared disks works in there flawlessly:

  • Issues with Arch 2009.02 in VMware Workstation [SOLVED]

    I installed Arch Linux 2009.02 i686 as a guest in VMware Workstation 6.5.1, my host is Vista x64. The installation of Arch itself and Xorg wasn't a problem although from this point I've had several issues.
    I was unable to 'startx' or 'xinit' without getting crashes, however adding hal to the daemons fixed that problem - some wiki entries state to add dbus, but dbus is already started. A lot of content on the wiki is outdated, telling users to use hwd; I did install hwd separately (from sourceforge) although it gave me hundreds? of errors related to PCI and eventually failure to parse some x configuration binary in /usr/bin.
    Multimedia Issues
    I then installed xfce4 and gstreamer-plugins. All video and audio play back too quickly, i.e. it seems to play the streams as fast as they can decode. This also happens with flash content such as youtube after I'd installed the appropriate programs. Thinking this may be a timing issue, I editted the vmware config file on my Windows host although it did not help; the timing in the VM seemed to be correct anyway.
    Display Issues
    When I run 'startxfce4' from a terminal, Xfce will start as 800x600 - if I go to change this resolution all options show 0Hz as the refresh rate and many options my monitor cannot display are shown even though I have VMware set to allow a maximum size of 1680x1050. I was unable to generate a 'good' xorg.conf file using 'X -configure' and as mentioned earlier, hwd would not work for me. I installed xf86-video-vmware and xf86-video-vesa as well as both open-vm-tools and normal vmware-tools (not at the same time or together) but can't seem to sort this issue. vmware-tools was able to generate a valid xorg.conf file but it only included a handful of 4:3 resolutions and some of these still showed 0hz. For some strange reason 'startx' and 'xinit' now do not work having failed to find /dev/fb0.
    VMware Tools
    When I did try to install vmware-tools, it had many difficulties trying to build the modules - mostly regarding to not recognising __FREEBSD__, I cannot remember the complete error. I also tried to build open-vm-tools but that gave an error about not being able to find libproc even though I had procps installed. Stopping open-vm-tools on shutdown also always fails and occurs twice.
    I'm going to try reinstalling now that I know a little more about what I did to get things working but if anyone could give me a hand it'd be much appreciated.

    After a lot of experimentation I've got a satisfactory installation although a few minor problems remain:
    Adjustments required to correctly run Alsa+Xorg in Arch Linux 2009.02 using VMware Workstation
    The current kernel does not play nicely with alsa, downgrade to kernel26-2.6.29.4-1:
    wget http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/core/ … pkg.tar.gz
    pacman -U kernel26-2.6.29.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
    Install/Upgrade dbus:
    pacman -Sy dbus
    Add hal (if it's not installed then make sure to do so) to your daemons located in /etc/rc.conf, e.g.
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal)
    The current open-vm-tools-modules is not compatible with the older kernel, instead use open-vm-tools-modules-2009.04.23-1:
    wget http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/commu … pkg.tar.gz
    pacman -U open-vm-tools-modules-2009.04.23-1
    The installation will prompt you with an error that /etc/modprobe.conf could not be found (as does the current version), add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
    install pcnet32 /sbin/modprobe -q --ignore-install vmxnet; /sbin/modprobe -q --ignore-install pcnet 32 ; /bin/true;
    You can now install open-vm-tools:
    pacman -S open-vm-tools
    To autoload open-vm-tools on start up you need to add it to your daemons located in /etc/rc.conf, e.g.
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal open-vm-tools)
    Add vmware-user to your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file if you desire (for seamless mouse and display switching), e.g. my xinitrc with xfce4 ends with:
    vmware-user &
    exec startxfce4
    Install the following components: xf86-video-vmware xf86-video-vesa xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-input-mouse:
    (You will not be able to start x if you have installed xf86-video-fbdev and do not have a valid xorg.conf file, this is addressed later)
    pacman -S xf86-video-vmware xf86-video-vesa xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-input-mouse
    Lastly we need to edit/create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to use our vmware drivers, this will enable automatic resolution switching and seamless mouse functionality:
    (All of the following is necessary otherwise X will ignore our vmware drivers)
    Section "ServerFlags"
        Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
    EndSection
    Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "VMware Mouse"
        Driver      "vmmouse"
        Option "Protocol"         "ps/2"
        Option "Device"           "/dev/input/mice"
        Option "ZAxisMapping"     "4 5"
        Option "Emulate3Buttons"  "true"
    EndSection
    Section "Device"
        Identifier  "VMware SVGA"
        Driver      "vmware"
    EndSection
    Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier  "VMware Config"
        InputDevice "VMware Mouse" "CorePointer"
    EndSection
    Issues
    * open-vm-tools fails to stop during a shutdown or /etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools stop/restart
    * most screen resolutions show 0Hz (although everything works correctly) and adding VertRefresh to xorg.conf produces a major error
    * playback of flash video produces a sound artefact when starting - although I think this may be to do with the decoder rather than system
    I've marked this as solved although I welcome any suggestions regarding these minor issues. The open-vm-tools one I can probably sort out but it's too late now to look into tonight

  • Installing vmware-workstation-6.5.3 with kernel26-2.6.32 walkthrough

    I changed my Fedora 10 laptop to Archlinux 2 weeks ago (and I'm loving it).
    So, I also had to move my vmware-workstation-6.5.3 to my new distro, and also all my virtual machines.
    I followed  the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_VMware) but until I had a working vmware, I had to do something different from the instructions.
    So, I post here my walkthrough, if someone needs it.
    Vmware package and kernel:
    - VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.i386.bundle.
    - kernel26-2.6.32.1-1
    1. As root cd to the directory where is VMware-Workstation and follow these steps:
    [root@hp]# mkdir -p /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/{rc{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.d,init.d}
    [root@hp]# export VMWARE_SKIP_MODULES=true
    [root@hp]# sh VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.i386.bundle --console --custom
    2. Read and accept EULA and go on.
    3. Then press enter to all answers except "System service runlevels", where you must enter /etc/rc.d/vmware/, like in the example:
    Do you agree? [yes/no]: yes
    System path prefix.  Please note that choosing a path other than /usr
    may result in missing icons, application launchers, and other desktop
    integrations [/usr]:
    System lib directory [/usr/lib]:
    Architecture-independent files [/usr/share]:
    User level binaries [/usr/bin]:
    Super user level binaries [/usr/sbin]:
    Documentation [/usr/share/doc]:
    Manual pages [/usr/share/man]:
    Header files [/usr/include]:
    System configuration files [/etc]:
    System service runlevels: /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/       <<--------------------------------
    System service scripts [/etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d]:
    Path to Eclipse directory for use with Integrated Virtual Debugger
    (optional):
    The product is ready to be installed.  Press enter to begin
    installation or Ctrl-C to cancel.
    4. Now exit from root and become normal user again. Then run vmware command.
    [memyselfandi@hp]$ vmware
    It asks to compile modules and you must press de "_Install" button.
    After some ERROR messages it asks you the root passord and then it starts to compile modules.
    Finally it starts vmware.
    5. You must close it again and do this as root:
    [root@hp]# ln -s /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d/vmware /etc/rc.d/vmware
    6. Then with your favorite editor, include "vmware" to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf to allow vmware modules to load while computer boots:
    # /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng ... ... vmware)
    7. You must substitute /sbin/lsmod with /bin/lsmod in the file /etc/rc.d/vmware/init.d/vmware with your favorite editor or use this command instead:
    [root@hp]# sed -i 's/\/sbin\/lsmod/\/bin\/lsmod/g' /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d/vmware
    8. Restart vmware services and load modules with this command:
    [root@hp]# /etc/rc.d/vmware restart
    9. There is a common mouse problem (it loses focus outside VGA area 640x480) because of GTK+ new version. To avoid this issue, add this line to the end of "/etc/vmware/bootstrap":
    # /etc/vmware/bootstrap
    export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes
    10. Now you can  start as normal user:
    [memyselfandi@hp]$ vmware
    Or in the gnome menu "System Tools" --> "VMware Workstation"
    I didn't experiment any problems with keycodes. I don't know, but they seem to be solved in 6.5.3 version(?)
    Hope this help someone!

    My vmware install logs don't really help here but they do show where it trails off into oblivion:

  • Install vmware-workstation-7.0.0 with kernel26-2.6.32 walkthrough

    For anyone who need some help, and the same way I did with version 6.5.3 (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=88103), I post here my install walkthrough for vmware-workstation-7.0.0.
    There are only a few differences.
    Vmware package and kernel:
    - VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.i386.bundle
    - kernel26-2.6.32.1-1
    1. As root, cd to the directory where is VMware-Workstation and follow these steps:
    [root@hp]# mkdir -p /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/{rc{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.d,init.d}
    [root@hp]# shVMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.i386.bundle --console --custom
    2. Read and accept EULA and go on.
    3. Then press enter to all answers except "System service runlevels", where you must enter /etc/rc.d/vmware/, like in the example:

    [root@hp]# sed -i 's/\/sbin\/lsmod/\/bin\/lsmod/g' /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d/vmware
    5. Now create a link to the init script, inthe place where Arch can recognize it:
    [root@hp]# ln -s /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d/vmware /etc/rc.d/vmware
    6. Then with your favorite editor, include "vmware" to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf to allow vmware modules to load while computer boots:
    # /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng ... ... vmware)
    7. Now exit from root and become normal user again. Then run vmware command and test it.
    [memyselfandi@hp]$ vmware
    That's all!

    Wow, thank you very much!! Your incredible guide help me installing VMware 7.01 in a snap, you're the king =D
    I think there should be a section like "Application instalation guides" with all guides like this.
    The question now is how to install VMware Tools into an Arch guest (currently using KDE SC).
    I'm investigating that right now...

  • Can I install Oracle VM server on VMware Workstation 7 with linux?

    I have installed VMware Workstation 7 on my laptop that already has windows 7 operating system.
    Next I installed Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 on my VMware Workstation 7.
    Now am planing to setup a RAC environment.
    What should be my next step? The documentation says I need to install VMware server.
    Are VMware server and Oracle VM server the same?
    can we replace one with other.
    I am a newbie.. Please spare my questions.

    hi,
    your vm ware server is ok.. but you should install same o/s for RAC..
    remove the linux and install windows and try RAC node in vmware..
    or try install linux

  • VMWare workstation error with shared VMs

    Hi. I have a bug with VMWare Workstation I could not fix. It's about sharing VMs remotely, it reports the following error
    Logging to /tmp/vmware-root/vmware-modconfig-1165.log
    Cannot find insserv, chkconfig, or update-rc.d on your system. Also cannot find System V style init directories. Unable to add service.

    Can anyone please me help to publish a remote server VMs?.

    Thanks for that I found it in the forum on a subsequent search.

  • Manage USB drives / removal with VMWare Workstation in Unity mode

    We have a peice of legacy software that only runs on windows XP. Our deployment has it running on VMware Workstation in Unity mode. A constant issue is USB drives. The users need to connect USB drives to the legacy app. 
    The way i'ts currently managed: the drives are set to auto-mount into VMWare with the VID and PID of the drives. Then a DriveRemove.exe utility bat file is setup to eject the drives, and a shortcut is placed on the users desktop. Is there a better way to do this? 
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Really disappointed in Apple after this!
    I've had my iPhone 4S still on iOS5, and wanted to update to iOS6 today. I tried over the air, but it kept failing and suggesting that I try it with iTunes. My iPhone hasn't been connected to iTunes for months, so I first had to update, which makes updating already quite annoying as it doesn't work as intended.
    After updating my iTunes, it found my iPhone and I hit Update. After some time it just stopped and failed on me, my iPhone went into recovery mode. After reconnecting to iTunes I get the message; "Your iPhone is in recovery mode, please recover" with a "OK" button. I hit that button and the Update/Restore screen disappears.
    Luckily I found the log files in my User data folder and were able to figure out the error number, but for a normal user this would be a point they would give up! My next smartphone might not be an iPhone, the hardware and the experience is great on an iPhone. But updating/settings/app-management and iTunes just suck!

  • I'm having problems loading web pages on a vmware workstation 6.05 guest OS using Firefox 3.5.9. I can ping external websites fine from the guest. No proxy. Any ideas?

    I'm having problems loading web pages on a vmware workstation 6.05 guest OS using Firefox 3.5.9. Also tried the latest 3.6 version. I can ping external websites fine from the guest. No proxy. Any ideas?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I installed a guest OS

    I'm using the same swear words as you. There are several threads about this problem - no answers.
    I have a LaserJet 8100N and 8150DN, get the 79.01FE error on the 8150 from print outs from Safari, Firefox, and Preview, for only some sites/documents. CNN.com has become my test site, seems I can crash the printer 90% of the time with their home page at any given time in the day.
    A summary of what I have tried:
    - Upgraded the firmware to the latest for both the JetDirect card and the printer.
    - Swapped the JetDirect cards between the 8100 and 8150.
    - Swapped ram on the 8150 board.
    - Disconnected external trays, bins, and removed extra RAM and hard drives from the 8150.
    - Tried setting the JetDirect link and matching switch port link to 100FD, 10HD, 10FD, 100HD, as suggested by a poster.
    - Tried having client's print to the printer through a XServer Print Server.
    - Can consistently create the error from multiple systems running 10.3.9, 10.4.5, and 10.4.6 (didn't have an install base of 10.4 before 10.4.5).
    Someone in the 'know' (which means they're likely not), said 10.4.7 will likely fix this. Being Apple has not even addressed that the problem exists (that I could find), I doubt the magic fix is a release away.
    Apple's software is triggering something that Windows systems appears not to be, so one could say it's an Apple problem; but ulimately it's HP's software/hardware that is at fault in that it is allowing their system to crash from input alone.

  • Oracle 10g + VMware Workstation 6.5 = data block corruption?

    I'm trying to run Oracle 10g on VMWare Workstation 6.5 (host and guest are windows 2003)
    I've noticed a couple times that I easily get block corruptions and wonder if there are some settings to lower the risk.
    Note this is a DEV machine, not a production machine.
    I don't know if Oracle supports the set up but I'm sure many people are running Oracle in Vmware so I'm looking to those who have done so successfully.
    Anyone know of special precautions in either Vmware or Oracle config to limit the risk on block corruption?
    According to VMWare, ESX is a perfect platorm so maybe I should move from Workstation to ESX, maybe it has to do with Windows in VM and Linux would work better.
    Anyone has some info on why Oracle has block corruption on VMware Workstation (windows/windows)?
    Other people with positive/negative experience on VMWare Workstation (mention OS's and Oracle version please)
    (before someone tells me it's not supported, also see these pages on vmware.com:

    Well, it's indeed not for production, I use it for product demos and small development tasks, there is no critical data in my database but I wished I could run Oracle inside a VM on my laptop...
    It works reasonably well (I even have run multiple VM's (Workstation) with Oracle insde on 1 laptop (4 GB Ram, Core Duo), but sooner or later it gives some problems. If there is any setting that can lower the risk would be great.
    I was thinking of installing ORacle VM but apparently my laptop is not compatible with that (nor with ESX for that matter).
    Anyone use plain Xen (which seems to support any processor) + Oracle on Linux ??
    I can't install Oracle natively on the machine directly since I need the capabilities of a VM in respect of easy backup + I have many different applications and databases so depending on what I need to show, I just start a different VM
    The VM provides the capabilities to move back to previous situation, exchaning demos with collegues, have multiple parallel copies with different configurations (depending on customer), etc...
    ... installing natively is too much of hassle, we used to swap hard disks but that's a pain when the hardware changes, at least with VMWare WS you can run it on pretty much any computer.
    How do other people deal with this type of situation?? We have ESX on a hosted environment but internet access is not always available...
    It seems stable enough to run my demos (I'm doing this for quite a while but the block corruption seems to happen sooner or later)
    The problem is that I first need to get the demo installed without corruptions. Once it's installed I can just restart from that situation over and over again, but obviously I don't want to run the risk of having a disk corruption in the middle of a demo.

  • Creating a thin client network in VMWare Workstation

    I have recently been informed that many our customers have a thin client network in place using Microsoft RDP, Terminal Services / Remote Desktop Services.
    What I would like to do is create a virtual thin client network using Server 2008 | Server 2008 R2 | Server 2012. What I am not certain of is how to emulate the "desktop" environments for the clients and how to configure VMWare to work with this type of network.
    Is this possible?
    I admit that I have never configured a TS before, so hopefully someone here has done this before and can provide some pointers.
    I have been searching Google for information but so far have come up short. Perhaps my search criteria is wrong.
    I have VMWare Workstation 10 and access to MSDN for a number of ISOs.
    Thank you.

    The VM Client ifconfig shows eth0 configured correctly IP, MASK and Broadcast, then the loopback... nothing else. Route command shows the correct Gateway. Well, nobody is perfect, so maybe you can post the complete config for review? Maybe you used xenbr1 when you should be using xenbr0, or something like that. Saying that it's correct is not the same as showing us that it is correct.

  • Bootable ISO not recognized by Hyper-V on Win 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit - VMware Workstation understands perfectly

    I activated Hyper-V on my fully patched Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit host PC and tried to create a Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine that should have installed from the bootable ISO (the one I downloaded from my MSDN subscription) for Windows Server
    2008 R2, but when the VM starts, it goes through its boot device progression and fails to recognize the ISO as bootable.  No amount of coaxing will convince Hyper-V to use the bootable ISO to install the operating system in the VM.
    To see if there was an issue with the ISO, I removed Hyper-V from the host (because, as I discovered, VMware refuses to run when Hyper-V is present) and then fired up VMware Workstation 10, pointed it to the exact same ISO and it created the VM from that
    ISO just fine.  That proves there is nothing wrong with the ISO image.
    I'm new to Hyper-V since I've been using VMware Workstation for quite some time and figured it was high time I began to make the switch to Hyper-V (since I'm paying for it anyway).
    What setting(s) do I need to adjust to insure that Hyper-V sees the bootable ISO properly so it will install that OS in the virtual machine?
    If you think development is tough now, think how hard it was using punched cards :-)

    I followed the Hyper-V wizard instructions to the letter, including telling it the full path to where the ISO I wanted to use in creating my very first VM is located.  I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that the Hyper-V wizard mounted that ISO on whatever
    device it deemed appropriate, hopefully one that is in the boot device sequence.  It all was very straight-forward and easy to understand; however, it doesn't work.  
    The corresponding wizard in VMware Workstation 10 fully understands the ISO and proceeds with its "Easy Install" process without anything else except the license key.
    I didn't capture a video of the failed Hyper-V boot process, but to summarize, it went through its "progression" of devices and simply never found the ISO that I had previously designated.
    Despite its seeming simplicity, the Hyper-V creation wizard doesn't perform what it is instructed to do while the equivalent VMware Workstation 10 wizard works flawlessly.
