Disabling DHCP on vmnet1 (VMware Fusion)

I did most of the VMware testing including View on my Fusion. Due to the VDI client, I need to disable the fusion's DHCP coz I will be using the DHCP on my AD server. The following command help to kill the process...


sudo kill -15 `sudo cat /var/run/vmnet-dhcpd-vmnet1.pid`


Or


You can always find the dhcpd.conf and disable from here as well...

Sudo vi /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/dhcpd.conf
Put a comment # infront of all the lines...

In many cases, you can also edit the dhcpd.conf to suit your testing environment instead of leveraging Windows DHCP service... You can find some samples here -

VMware VRNI 3.5 NTP is working but not healthy

We have experienced this problem where some of the major services not started. You will not be able to connect to the vRNI via web -> https://<ip_address_of_vrni_platform>>. This probably caused by NTP insync. You need to manually start these services. Login with Consoleuser / and default password if not changed before via venter web console. Run services restart and wait for couple minutes (it took me 5-6 mins). Types of Users  User name  Password  Admin UI  admin@local Set this password in the Activate License window during installation. SSH User  support ark1nc0113ct0r CLI User  consoleuser ark1nc0ns0l3 Note It is recommended that the users change the default passwords immediately after the deployment.  Procedure 1 Navigate to  https://<vRealize Network Insight Platform IP address> .  2 Log in to the product UI with the corresponding user name and password.
