Hi,

I have an ESXi server, on top of it I have created one VM whose IP address is 192.168.79.1.

I want to connect to the VM on ESXi server from my host machine but I am not able to do it.

I have created a network "networkforSC" and I have pasted my xml file content below but I am not able to add any uplink (how to add it?) .

Below is the xml file of my node as well as the network which I am creating on my ESXi server

<domain type='vmware'>

<name>testNode</name>

<uuid>50115e16-9bdc-49d7-f171-53c4d7f91710</uuid>

<memory>1048576</memory>

<currentMemory>1048576</currentMemory>

<vcpu>1</vcpu>

<console>/dev/console</console>

<os>

<type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type>

</os>

<devices>

<disk type='file' device='disk'>

<source file='[datastore1] testNode/testNode.vmdk'/>

<target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>

<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/>

</disk>

<controller type='scsi' index='0' model='lsilogic'/>

<interface type='bridge'>

<mac address='00:50:56:25:48:c7'/>

<source bridge='VM Network'/>

</interface>

<interface type='bridge'>

<source bridge='test'/>

</interface>

</devices>

</domain>

##########################################

Network File:

<network>

<name>networkforSC</name>

<portgroup name='test'>

</portgroup>

</network>

I have checked the network which got created on the server.

As I have not attached any uplink (vmnic0) I can not see it (I want to attach it).

#esxcli network vswitch standard list

Can anyone please help me out in adding the uplink and also can anyone tell me whether I am going in a right direction so that I could ping my virtual machine created on ESXi server.
