Has anyone attempted and had success setting up a virtual network (bridged,
host-only, etc.) for QNX 4.25 on VMware 4.0 Workstation (for Windows)? If
so, could you provide me with a summary of the steps that you followed?
Thank you!

Nothing special. I just start Net.ether2100 driver QNX4. I tried both
bridged and NAT and didn’t get any problem. Another user said he had to
restart Net.ether2100 if the VM was rebooted. I don’t have that problem.
Note that MAC address will be different then real MAC address of your NIC.
Thank you!
Hi,
interisting to read that qnx runs in VM.
What’s about performance and realtime?

Well, it’s “emulated realtime”, so as long as you have “emulated deadlines”
you should be ok

Realtime, well forget it, it runs under Windows after all… It’s bad very
bad. From point of view of software CPU speed vaires a lot.
Network performance is the same, under QNX4 HD performance is a litlle slow.
CPU raw is similar if you don’t do task switching much (that is a memset is
about the same speed). When interrupts are involved and task switching
that’s when performance is lost.
Video is done via VGA should you get speed similar to VGA.
On a P3 450, It’s very usable as long as I stay in text mode. In photon,
scrolling text in a little slow for my taste, too slugish.
On a P4 2.4, it very snappy even in Photon.
With QNX6 since graphic doesn’t work I use Phindows and you couldn’t tell
QNX6 is running under a VM.

Well, I run QNX 4.25 happily 133Mhz Pentium – so it should
run reasonably well (performance) in vmware on a decently
powerful P4 class machine.
Realtime…well… no.

Please followup in this newsgroup if you have further questions.
For NAT, are you using dchp.client in QNX or did you set a static IP
address? Neither approach seems to work from me, but knowing will allow me
to focus my efforts.
I am trying to set up a NAT virtual network:
- I selected NAT for my virtual NIC in VMware 4.0
- Using ‘ipconfig /all’ in Windows 2K DOS I can see VMnet8 has IP address
192.168.234.1 - In QNX I have Net.ether2100 running (‘nettrap start’ selected this driver)
- I have tcprt license and Net is running
- In QNX, I added the line ‘192.168.234.3 node1’ to my /etc/hosts file
(using static IP approach). The VMware documentation indicates that .3
is the beginning of the static IP range for NAT. - I restarted my QNX virtual machine
- In QNX, ‘ifconfig en1’ shows ‘inet 192.168.234.3’
- From the QNX VM I cannot ping 192.168.234.1
- From Windows I cannot ping 192.168.234.3
Am I missing a step?
Thanks for you help!

Can you ping 192.168.234.3 from QNX (to check the stack is ok)
For me because I used dhcp.client everything worked right out of the box.

I can ping 192.168.234.3 from QNX. Also, if I run dhcp.client but no IP gets
assigned. Seems fairly certain that the VMware DHCP server is not receiving
the request. Very stange…

Does netinfo -l in QNX shows that packet were transmited or received
Have you tried NAT. Simpler assuming there is a DHCP server on your
network.

I just tried something pretty funky. I created a minimal QNX4 VM, with 16
meg of ram and 40 Meg of HD (which gets compressed by NTFS down to 17Meg).
I setup 2 of thoses VM , node 2 and 3. Node 1 was already setup
(development config).
Each node has access to physical network. I also setup a virtual lan (not
attached to any physical network). That allowed me to setup each QNX4 node
with 2 lans. Via the VM I could plug and unplug each of virtual cable at
will and watch the behavior of the system.
From node1 I ran 2 instances of the following command cp //2-3/dev/hd0.0
/dev/null, to give me a rought idea of virtual network performance, and each
copy was running at 950kbytes!!! Darn cool.
I always had problem recreating certain problem my customer had with automap
because it was not always ossible to recreate their setup. I think this is
the solution I have been looking for. Now of course there will be
differences in behavior but I’m guessing this will be close enough!!!
