Hi,
I have 2 VM of Solaris ( 2nd one full clone )
1st VM - 192.168.1.30
2nd VM - 192.168.1.31
My need : ping both VM from each other
I have added host entry in /etc/hosts of both server but unable to ping each other from solaris console...
Pls advice
Check your firewall/ipf. Have you tried using both IP address and hostname? Which VM are you using, for example virtual box?
i am using VMware......
Tried with hostname as well, result it same.
Do we need to make a private connection between the network adaptor in vmware..?? so that both machine can communicate?
I don't believe that the problem lies within both Solaris VMs or IPfilter itself .
I believe the problem lies within virtual NICs configuration.
I would recommend to bridge both virtual NICs to physical as a test at first , the you can go with advanced configuration .
Easily make both virtual NIC's bridged to the physical NIC and assign them same IP ranges and same subnet.
Anyways you can disable IPFilter as follows
# svcadm disable ipfilter
post here again
its working now. incorrect entries in host file.
