Preparing a VmWare Fusion Host
|
|||
|
|
==============================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The *vmxnet3 driver* is required on a GigE Network Adapter used by VPP.
|
|||
|
|
On VmWare Fusion, the default Network Adapter driver is an *Intel
|
|||
|
|
82545EM (e1000)*, and there is no GUI to change it to *vmxnet3*. The
|
|||
|
|
change must be done manually in the VM’s configuration file as follows:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Bring up the VM library window: **Window -> Virtual Machine Library**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Right click on the VM where you want to change the driver:
|
|||
|
|
<*VM-Name*> **-> Show in Finder**. This pops up a new Finder window
|
|||
|
|
with a line for each VM that Fusion knows about.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Right click on the VM where you want to change the driver:
|
|||
|
|
<*VM-Name*> **-> Show package contents**. This brings up a window
|
|||
|
|
with the contents of the package.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Open the file <*VM-Name*> **.vmx** with your favorite text editor.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- For each Network Adapter that you want used by VPP, look for the
|
|||
|
|
Network Adapter’s driver configuration. For example, for the VM’s
|
|||
|
|
first Network Adapter look for:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
::
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Replace ``e1000`` with ``vmxnet3``:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
::
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
and restart the VM.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you replaced the driver on your VM’s primary Network Adapter, you
|
|||
|
|
will have to change the primary network interface configuration in
|
|||
|
|
Linux.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
First, get the new primary network interface name:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
::
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
sudo lshw -class network -businfo
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Bus info Device Class Description
|
|||
|
|
========================================================
|
|||
|
|
pci@0000:03:00.0 ens160 network VMXNET3 Ethernet Controller
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Replace the existing primary network interface name in
|
|||
|
|
``/etc/network/interfaces`` with the above device name (ens160): \``\` #
|
|||
|
|
This file describes the network interfaces available on your system, #
|
|||
|
|
and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/\*
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The loopback network interface
|
|||
|
|
==============================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
auto lo iface lo inet loopback
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The primary network interface
|
|||
|
|
=============================
|
|||
|
|
|

|
|
auto ens160 iface ens160 inet dhcp
