What You Need to Know About Per VM Licensing

http://www.vmware.com/support/licensing/per-vm/ As IT continues to virtualize and move towards IT-as-a-Service, software licensing needs to evolve to account for actual product consumption rather than arbitrarily licensing the physical hardware from which consumption is abstracted. With virtual machines now being the new unit of consumption, IT organizations need flexible deployment and licensing options that are more usage-based versus server-based.

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 ca t /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... # # #... http://www.perturb.org/display/448_Example_dhcpd_conf.html In many cases, you can also edit the dhcpd.conf to suit your testing environment instead of leveraging Windows DHCP service...

Making your Mac OS X as the NFS server

I'm trying to setup a shared storage for ESXi HA and vMotion demo purpose on VMware Fusion. I guess the easiest way with be enabling the native NFS in Mac rather than powering another iSCSI storage such as OpenFiler, FreeNAS, Lefthand VSA, VMware VSA, etc..  To view your VMnet, type ifconfig in Terminal. Edit  /etc/exports :  sudo vi /etc/exports  Add a line like the following (I'm using NAT network for my ESXi network, hence using the VMnet8 interface with the range of 172.16.17.0/24.): /Users -maproot=root -network 172.16.17.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 Enable  nfsd :  sudo nfsd enable Test your work:  showmount -e You can view the nfsd status:  sudo nfsd status To restart the nfsd :  sudo nfsd restart You can now try to connect ESXi to the NFS or using Mac's Finder to test the connection. Try this... Launch Finder, and press "Shift+Command+G" and type "/net/YourComputerIP/Users". Other method, you can refer to  http://support...

Determining if Intel VT is enabled in ESXi 4.x/5.x

To determine if Intel VT or AMD-V are enabled in the BIOS: Log in to the   ESX host   as the root user. You can use tools like PUTTY. Run this command: # esxcfg-info|grep "HV Support" The output of the HV Support command indicates the type of Hyper-visor support available. These are the descriptions for the possible values: 0 - VT/AMD-V  indicates that s upport is not available for this hardware. 1 - VT/AMD-V  in dicates that VT or AMD-V might be available but it is not supported for this hardware. 2 - VT/AMD-V   indicates that VT or AMD-V is   available but is currently not enabled in the BIOS. 3 - VT/AMD-V   indicates that VT or AMD-V is enabled in the BIOS and can be used.
