Regardless of which operating system (OS) you choose, it’s the same SQL Server database code, and includes even more of the same features and services as the Windows release. It appears that I will need to set up port forwarding on the NAT configuration, but don't want to do that until I am sure that it would resolve the issue.Organizations that embraced the option to run Microsoft SQL Server 2017 on Linux have been looking forward to the release of SQL Server 2019.

I have been doing some reading on NAT, but it is not clear to me what the host can access. I could not ping the guest (at least, I could not ping the IP address that was listed when running ipconfig on the guest). Though the guest now had an IP address, I could not reach the SQL Server from the host. I tried changing VMWare networking to NAT. I could access SQL Server from the Guest. Because VMWare Networking was configure as Bridge, no IP address was being assigned to the guest, so I could not access SQL Server from the host. For example, I was traveling over the last week, and did not have internet access.

Just sharing some of what I went through so that others who may come to this thread will see some of this info and have some info to work with.Īnother issue I have encountered is how to configure VMWare if the host is not on a network. This told me that my problem is a configuration problem somewhere in Tomcat and/or my servlet config, not with Fusion/VMWare. I still had problems with connections via Tomcat via Java, but I downloaded a Java client (RazorSQL) onto OSX and verified that it could see SQLServer in the guest VM. What my problems came down to was making sure that not only could the host see the guest IP and ports (once I turned off the firewall in the guest I could see it with a ping), but also that the guest could see the host - turning off the firewall in OSX allowed the guest to see the host with a ping. I had also tried to set a route in the guest back to the host and that didn't work because of the firewall - naturally. I do that when I first setup SQLServer on a dev machine, but this time around I wasted a lot of time in there when it was really a matter of firewalls blocking the connection and me not realizing I had other issues. Naturally you have to check the 'Surface'/network/remote connection configuration setup on SQL Server before doing anything concerning remote connections. I've had similar problems the last few days, and if you google around you will see others have had it too - between any VMWare VM (not just Fusion) and SQLServer. If anyone has experience in remotely connecting to a VMWARE guest instance of SQL Server, I would greatly appreciate your advice. The SQL Server was installed as a named instance.

I am using SQL Server authentication and have verified that I can connect to the SQL Server databases using a SQL Server username and password when using a client on the guest. I have tried using both NAT and Bridged networking modes. I have verified that SQL Server is setup to allow remote connections, and is using TCP/IP for communication. I have not figured out a way to detect whether it fails at VMWare or SQL Server.

But when I try to connect to the SQL Server instance from a Mac client (Razor SQL, isql/freetds) I cannot complete the connection successfully.

I can access SQL Server without issue from the SQL Server Management Studio running on the guest. The one issue I am facing is connecting from the Mac to SQL Server running in the guest.

In most cases, the windows applications I run (Outlook, Word, Powerpoint) act like Mac native apps. So far, I have found the installation, configuration, and operation of Fusion on the Mac exceptional.

I am running VRWare Fusion with a Windows 7 guest on a MacBook Pro.
