VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide
To set up this configuration, you must create four virtual machines and use the virtual
machine settings editor to adjust the settings for their virtual Ethernet adapters. You
also need to install the appropriate guest operating systems and application software
in each virtual machine and make the appropriate networking settings in each virtual
machine.
1. Set up four virtual machines using the New Virtual Machine Wizard.
Create the first virtual machine with bridged networking so it can connect to an
external network using the host computer’s Ethernet adapter.
Create the other three virtual machines without networking. You will set up their
virtual Ethernet adapters in later steps.
2. Launch a VMware Virtual Machine Console and open virtual machine 1. Do not
power on the virtual machine.
Use the virtual machine settings editor (VM > Settings) to add a second virtual
network adapter, as described in Changing the Networking Configuration on
page 238. Connect the second adapter to Custom (VMnet2).
Click OK to save the configuration and close the virtual machine settings editor.
3. If a console is not running, launch one. Open virtual machine 2. Do not power on
the virtual machine.
Use the virtual machine settings editor (VM > Settings) to add a virtual network
adapter. Connect the adapter to Custom (VMnet2).
Click OK to save the configuration and close the virtual machine settings editor.
4. If a console is not running, launch one. Open virtual machine 3. Do not power on
the virtual machine.
Use the virtual machine settings editor to add a virtual network adapter.
Connect the adapter to Custom (VMnet2).
Use the virtual machine settings editor to add a second virtual network adapter.
Connect the adapter to Custom (VMnet3).
Click OK to save the configuration and close the virtual machine settings editor.
5. If a console is not running, launch one. Open virtual machine 4. Do not power on
the virtual machine.
Use the virtual machine settings editor to add a virtual network adapter.
Connect the adapter to Custom (VMnet3).
Click OK to save the configuration and close the virtual machine settings editor.
6. Determine the network addresses used for VMnet2 and VMnet3.
