How to put esxi host into maintance mode while it have the VCSA VM on it - vmware

I have a standalone VM Host running Esxi 6.7 with 9 VMs host running on it. between these 8 VMs there is VCSA Machine that requires me to put host into maintance mode.
i can't shutdown the VCSA to put the host in maintaince mode (i can do it from the Esxi web interface but then i lose the control from VCSA which i need to run the updates)

There is no way to put the host in maintenance mode while a VM is running.
The host is in a state of Entering Maintenance Mode until all running virtual machines are powered down or migrated to different hosts

Installation of the vCenter Server Appliance fails

Preconditions
VMware vSphere 6.5
Windows Server 2016
What I did:
I have installed windows server on ESXi.
I'm trying to install vCenter Server Appliance(VCSA) from the above windows server using vcsa-ui-installer(win32).
Expected Behaviour
The progress bar in stage 1 progresses.
Actual Behaviour
The proglas bar in stage 1 stops at 0%.
I checked it out.
'Deploy VM' task fails due to timeout
A vCenter Server VM is registered on ESXi, but it is deleted after a timeout.
There are no noticeable error messages in the VCSA installation log.
What can I do to resolve this behavior?
You have to make sure that the windows server you are installing directly accesses the ESXi server. If there is no DNS in your environment, you can solve the problem by typing IP address in system name section in vcenter setup.
When installing over Windows, pay attention to IP and name resolution issues. I think you have a problem with DNS.

Local Server not loading in Ubuntu VirtualBox

I have laravel app which is running in my windows local server. This laravel app is running port:80. I want to load this app in my Ubuntu VirtualBox.
My IP Config:
IPv4 Address : 192.168.8.157
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.8.1
I have config my virtualbox as Bridged Adapter. In my /etc/hosts (ubuntu virtualbox), I have this :
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 asus
192.168.8.157 v2.my.local
I have made a hello word app (node.js) in my local windows which is running on port :3000, and it is running in my VirtualBox by typing v2.my.local:3000, but if I type v2.my.local on my VirtualBox, it is not working (although app is running on windows local machine). it says:
This v2.my.local page can’t be found
Any suggestion? Thanks in Advance.
May be windows firewall blocking connections via port 80. turn off firewall and try it, if it works. Start windows firewall and add firewall rule to allow connections via port 80. If your windows version is 10 then, it will block all virtual box related connections. make sure to add correct rules.

Can get to one guest webserver on VirtualBox, but not to another

I have a VirtualBox setup with Arch Linux. I use it to run various tutorials on Node.js and Redux. The host OS is Windows 8.1. I've mapped guest port 8080 to host 8080. When I run a simple Node.js server on the VM I can access it from the host machine on this port, just as expected.
Now I need to try another test server (webpack-dev-server). I start it in VM and check that it works via curl, but when I try to access it from the host, it says the connection was reset by peer. curl -v shows a pretty standard log: it sends a header and then says Recv failure. So:
one web server on VM works OK and is accessible via the mapped port;
another web server on VM works OK on VM, but is not accessible via the mapped port.
What could be the cause?
I think it's something with VirtualBox, but just in case I label this with webpack-dev-server as well.

Install proxmox 4.1 on VirtualBox

I installed proxmox 4.1 on virtual box and after installationI received the following :
welcome to the proxmox virtual environment.please use your web browser to configure this server - connect to:
https://192.168.56.101:8006
but while trying this https://192.168.56.101:8006 in the browser it is not working
can someone advice !
Check if the VirtualBox Machine Network Adapter is in Bridge Mode. And check that your host and the vm are in the same IP rank (Ex: Windows: 192.168.1.50 & Proxmox: 192.168.1.70)
Your network adapter in VirtualBox has been set to host-only. If you want to connect to it with your PC you'd better set-up bridged networking.
Also when you've did that, change your /etc/hosts file on the Proxmox hosts so that it won't give you any errors while setting up the webserver or any optional clusters.

how to access django development server on virtual machine from actual computer

Okay so I have my actual laptop which has vmware player installed. I am running lubuntu as a virtual machine and I installed django on the virtual machine and am testing my app so I did python manage.py runserver and I can access the app by visiting 127.0.0.1:8000 from my VM, however, If I go to 127.0.0.1:8000 from the actual computer (not the VM), it says 'chrome could not connect to 127.0.0.1:8000'.. Any idea how to fix it?
You can try running the server on 0.0.0.0
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
The IP address 0.0.0.0 means "all IP addresses on the local machine" (or all IPv4 addresses on the local machine).
Next, you will need the ip address of your VM. Visting http://<ip_address_of_vm>:8000 on other computers should access the django development server on your VM.
Note: If your VM only has an internal IP (e.g. 192.168.x.x) then only computers on the same network can visit the VM.
I was able to get #Kerberos answer to work. (not enough points to comment so I'm adding it as a seperate answer).
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS in a guest OS in VMWare. The host laptop is running Windows 8.
As mentioned by Kerberos, in VMWare, go to Player ==> Manage ==> Virtual Machine Settings...
On the Hardware tab, select Network Adaptor, then select the radio button for Bridged: Connect directly to the physical network. Select OK
In the VM, the network connection information should now have the same IP address of the host OS internet connection. In my case: 192.168.1.141 (yours will vary).
In the VM, start Django using python manage runserver 192.168.1.141:8000
Using this method, I am able to access the webserver running in the VM at this IP address from within the VM, from host machine, and from other systems on the same 192.168.1.xxx network.
to access virtual machine (guest) from outside the host computer, you have to set the guest network mode to bridge
Bridge-mode connects the guest to the actual network so that other machines can connect to it
