Private Network and Host Share

Message:

Hi,

I have set up a Virtual Network between 2 Virtual Servers. I have a
number of install files that I would like to install to these servers
but would like to avoid having them on the CD.

Is there any way to just create a Network Share on the host (the actual
virtual server) and have the vs servers see this share? Or can I go
the other way? Have shares from the vs servers read by the host
machine?

Thanks

Greg

Add a Loopback Adapter to the host, give it a private IP like a 10.x
address and bind your VMs to this same adapter. Your VMs will be on a
private network with each other and the host.

I'd like to take things one step further. I've set up the loopback adapter
as you state, which gives me IP connectivity. But my host is in one Windows
domain, and my guest is in its own Windows domain. The domains don't have
any trust relationship, so I can't share directories. I have a similar setup
in VMware, and VMware automatically creats a "shared folders" directory under
My Network Places -> Entire Network, which lets me share the C drive of the
host, isnoring any Windows networking configuration between the host and
guest. How can I set up something similar under Virtual Server? I'm just
using the VMs for testing purposes, so I'm not concerned with security. I
just want the convenience of moving files back and forth between the host and
guest.

The answer is really yes and no. Yes, you can certainly use file sharing
between the host and guest. But no, you can't do that from the internal
virtual network.

The internal virtual network is isolated from the host machine. To share
files between host and guest, the guests must be in a virtual network which
can see a networking interface on the host, such as a NIC or a loopback
adapter.

Sure you can. Just create a user in Domain A with the same user name
and password as a user in Domain B and vice versa.

You can't.
