  • 1.  ESX4 VM

    Posted Jun 09, 2009 05:13 PM

    I'm just created a virtual machine of an ESX4 host on an ESX4 host.

    I've got the service console IP configured, and I verified that it was uplinked to vmnic0,

    but i'm still not able to ping it. Has anyone tried this yet? Is there anything additional

    configuration that needs to be done when trying to make a vm of ESX?

    Thanks,

    Scott

    Set vswitch that it is attached too to have promiscuous mode enabled.

    Thank you for your quick response. Do you know how to do this at the CLI since I don't have

    access to it over the network?

    Thanks,

    Scott

    Oops. This is gettting confusing. I thought you meant the vm host. I just set the vswitch to promiscuous mode on the host host

    and it's working. Thanks a lot Lightbulb.

    Just to confirm that suggestion on putting the vSwitch on promiscuous mode worked for me too.
