N4S Testdrive and SAPGUI in VMWARE

[Former Member]

Hallo,

I have installed the N4S with Linux in VMWARE.

SAP is running and the Platin GUI works propper.

Now I want connect my extisting SAPGUI from the host OS to the SAP-system running inside the virtual machine.

Can somebody explain the settings in the vmware, GUI and so on ......

Thanks for help

first of all: I dont think its a good idea to run the SAP Server in vmware unless, you have a double quad-Core machine an min. 6 GB of RAM ....

ok...

lets see: the VM (virtual machine) has to have an IP...

your connection String is: guistart /H/$VM-IP/S/3201

from inside the VM...

It is the same from the hardware machine, but your given information are too bad...

WHICH Host OS?

HOW did you set the Networksettings of VMware?

It is the "SAP NetWeaver 7.0 - Java and ABAP Trial Version on Linux - VMware Edition"
I have downloaded from https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50f623ab-c08b-2a10-5e9d-d5f390a7...
 ok - not the fastest

inside the VM I have connection string conn=/H/ivml2005/S/3242
where ivml2005 is IP 192.168.155.1
SAPGUI for Java 7.0
The Ethernet adapter of the VM is set to NAT. I use VMware Workstation 6  
At the host OS (WinXP Professional) the VMware Network adapter 
VMNet8 is 192.168.245.1 - PING works
VMNet1 is 192.168.21.1 - PING works
At the host I use SAP GUI for Windows 710.
I tried - ApplicationServer  /H/192.168.245.1/S/3242/H/
          Systemnumber  01
         System-ID   N4S
I got  >partner '192.168.245.1:3242' not reached<
I think I need a mapping from the HOST-IP 192.168.245.1 to the GUEST-IP 192.168.155.1
but how.....?

When you run ifconfig in the VM, what addresses appear?

Hi Wolfgang,

These should be the addresses you use for the router (the second address is an 'alias' on the same device so it might work as well). A quick test would be to try to telnet to these addresses outside of vmware (telnet 192.168.245.128 3200 [replace the '00' with the system number]).

If that doesn't work, then you might have a firewall in place (run 'iptables -L -n' as root in SUSE to see if one is active).

Hope that is helpful.

Thanks,

Joe

Hello to all,

the problem is solved.

Thanks to all

Is the network setup on the VMWare based system? That would be the first thing to setup if you want to connect from an external source. You should be able to do that within YAST.

Hope that helps.
