Wake-On-LAN Virtual Machine shows log information on the screen, generates a log file and Event Viewer logs. The Windows service allows to power on virtual machines without logon to the host machine. The program consists of a Windows GUI application and a Windows service. If a magic packet contains a six byte SecureOn password the machine only wakes up if the password is correct. If Wake-On-LAN Virtual Machine receives a magic packets with MAC address which is in the list it turns on the found virtual machine using vendor utilities. The list can be exported to different file formats.
While testing I noticed a small bug in the Windows version (detecting the Mac address), so I’ll release an update soon this will not affect your situation though.
Then it retrieves a list of virtual machine names, their MAC addresses and optional SecureOn passwords and shows it as a tree view. However I’ve done some testing with my Mac Pro, but even after waiting for 30 seconds, using port 9 and 7, I could not get my Mac to wake up. When the program starts it searches for existing Microsoft Hyper-V, Windows Virtual PC, Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, Oracle VM VirtualBox, VMware Server, VMware Workstation, VMware Player and Parallels Workstation virtual machines. Wake-On-LAN Virtual Machine implements the Wake-On-LAN computer networking standard to turn on virtual machines. If physical host machine has not enough resources or performance to keep every virtual machine running the solution is to start virtual machines only when needed.
