VMware GSX Server Administration Guide
Do you want this script to probe for an unused
private subnet?
This allows you to connect your virtual machines to an external network when
you have only one IP network address on the physical network, and that
address is used by the host computer. For more information, see Network
Address Translation (NAT) in the VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide.
• To enable host-only networking, answer Yes to the following prompts:
Do you want to be able to use host-only networking
in your virtual machines?
Do you want this script to probe for an unused
private subnet?
Host-only networking allows for networking between the virtual machine and
the host operating system. For more information, see Host-Only Networking
in the VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide.
8. Specify the port the VMware Virtual Machine Console uses when connecting to
the GSX Server host remotely. Port 902 is the default port. If your site uses this
port for another application — for example, ideafarm-chat uses this port
— then specify a different port for the console to use here. To change the port
later, see Changing the Port Number for VMware Virtual Machine Console
Connections on page 101.
9. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of GSX Server, the following prompt
appears: Do you want the installer to set up permissions
for your registered virtual machines? This will be
done by setting new permissions on all files found in
/etc/vmware/vm-list.
Type y. The following permissions are set for all registered virtual machines:
• Read, write and execute — for the user who created the virtual machine (the
owner)
• Read and execute — for the primary group to which the owner belongs
• Read — for users other than the owner or a member of the owner's group
10. Specify the directory where you want to store your virtual machine files. By
default, this directory is /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines. Make
sure this location is on a large enough file system to contain the files, as the
virtual disk files for each virtual machine are usually are gigabytes in size.
