• Virtual MACHINE created on VMWare Workstation for Windows - move to VMWare Workstation for Linux?

  I have a bunch of VMs that I built using VMWare Workstation for Windows running on a Win2003 Server 7.1.3. The virtual machine is running Windows XP sp3. Can I move these Ubuntu VM to run under VMWare for Linux, if I buy a license for the current version or any version?

  Thank you

  Yes, but with some reservations.  Of course, Windows and Linux use different ways to represent the paths and devices so a few changes to the virtual machine may be necessary.  All that is hard coded in the configuration file .vmx depicting the paths of type Windows and device names must be changed by the GUI settings or manually edit the .vmx config file.  In addition any virtual machine containing snapshots where the parentFileNameHint in the DescriptorFile of disc, so drowned in a monolithicSparse or the first measure not binary snapshot virtual hard drive, which uses a QPF (fully qualified path name), it will have to be changed.  If you are unsure how to do this then I suggest a delete all snapshots before moving on to another system.

  A Windows VM that fall under the WPA will in all likelihood have to be reactivated if the host CPU are not in the same class.

  If you copy a Windows VM for the delivery of a copy on the source system, that you must have and or get the appropriate number of licenses and or product keys for the copy number you keep.

• Cannot open ESXi 4.1 in VMware Workstation 7.1

  I installed ESXi 4.1 in VMware Workstation 7.1 several days ago, and it worked fine.

  But I can't open ESXi 4.1 now. I need someone to help me solve this problem.

  The error message is:

  «You have configured the virtual machine to use an operating system 64-bit client.»  However, the 64-bit mode is not possible. This host is VT-capable but VT is disabled.

  It's usually because that VT has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or host was not powered by bicycle since changing this setting. Please:

  (1) check that the BIOS/firmware settings enable VT and disable "trust execution."

  2 turn on the host, if one of these BIOS/firmware settings have been changed.

  (3) turn on the host if you have not done since the installation of VMware Workstation.

  (4) update of the BIOS/firmware from the host to the latest version. »

  I do not change the bios setting after the installation of ESXi. And I just checked the bios, it shows that VT is enabled.

  So I don't know what the problem is.

  PS: My laptop is HP 8540w, the processor is intel i5.

  VMware - 0.log shows that VT - x is disabled on this system:

  18:20:07.257 Sept 14: vmx | CPU [0]: MSR 0X3A = 0X1

  18:20:07.257 Sept 14: vmx | CPU [1]: MSR 0X3A = 0X1

  18:20:07.257 Sept 14: vmx | [2] CPU: MSR 0X3A = 0X1

  18:20:07.257 Sept 14: vmx | CPU [3]: MSR 0X3A = 0X1

  Bit 0 of this MSR is the bit lock, preventing further amendments to this MSR without a power cycle.  Bit 2 is the bit to enable VT - x, and that the ILO is disabled.  The value that you want for this MSR is 0x5.

  You have hibernated the system since you were last able to use VT - x?  You can have a buggy BIOS that fails to enable VT - x, then wake up from hibernation.  I check the BIOS settings and then turn on the machine to see if you return enablement VT - x. After a power cycle.

• Attempt to start an ESXi host nested of Windows Hyper-V on Windows 8.1

  Hi guys,.

  I would like to start nested 5.5 ESXi hosts in my 5.5 vCenter environment.  I did successfully using 10 Workstation, but I'm having problems trying to do using Windows Hyper-V running on Windows 8.1.  I created a few test servers and tried to start, receive all of them successfully the IP addresses and downloading the image, but they cling to the «travel modules and updated the kernel...» »

  

  If somebody has got away?  Any suggestions?

  dbutch1976 wrote:

  As described earlier in this thread, the host crashes to "move the modules and from the kernel.

  I don't think that the host crashes in fact at this point.  Since the FADT ACPI under Hyper-V has revealed that the VGA is not available, the output is redirected to the serial port.  If you can complete the "blind" installation, you should be able to get on the rest of the installation while providing the necessary responses.

  The question is why the FADT ACPI under Hyper-V claims that VGA is not available, when it is clearly.

  After you change the configuration file. I started the Esxi server. But when booting, it shows lmdriver failed to load. When I tried to configure the Exsi network, the back always prompt to reset the default settings of the network. Then I searched the internet, I found this machine NIC not to support Esxi. Is there a way to configure the Microsoft loop back adopter or any virtual adopter for esxi? So that I can install several esxi server on a single machine on vmware workstation and can be communicate with each other.

  With VMware Workstation 7 you should not need to manually configure the .vmx file. Create a new custom virtual machine and select ESX as the guest operating system. This will configure the virtual material suitable as an E1000 network adapter...

• One of the ESXi host 3 no HW Compatible for ESXi 6 upgrade?

  Hello

  There are 3 DELL servers (2 of them are running R530 and 1 is executed R900).

  When attempting to upgrade these 5.5 ESXi hosts to ESXi 6, we find that the R900 is no longer supported.

  Wonder what is the best way for us to do - keep using ESXi 5.5 or level 2 of them to ESXi 6 and leave remaining on an ESXi 5.5?   We have no intention to replace the R900 in the near future.

  Thank you

  If all three hosts are part of the ESXi Cluster, then you must do all the guests at the same version level. Therefore, keep all the on ESXi 5.5

  But if you use these host as a standalone ESXi host then you can upgrade the host to ESXi 6 two and let R900 on ESXi 5.5

  Thank you

• VMware tools for Linux

  Hello

  Y at - it a general Vmware tools for all Linux: I mean Redhat suse and Ubuntu are the same?

  Where can I download it

  Thank you

  You can install it via the tools provided with your ESXi installation. Right-click the virtual machine in the inventory and select comments-> installation / upgrade VMware Tools.

  

  This will mount a CD player in the guest operating system, providing VMware tools. The steps to install on CentOS (i.e. RHEL base):

  root@srv20 [/ TMP] # cd/tmp

  root@srv20 [/ TMP] # mkdir/mnt/cdrom

  root@srv20 [/ TMP] # mount/dev/cdrom/mnt/cdrom

• Complete restoration of the Server 2008 R2 vmware workstation for windows backup image 9

  9 workstation.

  I am trying to restore a backup of windows server r2 2008 (made with the built-in windows backup) on an existing installation of vmware server 2008 r2. Basically, I just want to replace the facility with the backup version.

  The problem is, the windows to the backup image is on a USB key.

  The restore process is:

  1. Connect the usb host drive
  2. Insert the windows server r2 DVD in drive
  3. initialize the Server 2008 r2 comments and press the button ESC at startup, then boot from the CD
  4. Select 'repair' installation
  5. but here's the problem, windows backup image is on my USB, but at this stage I do not see the USB key from the client in the repair installation process.

  Ideas of the best way to do it?

  Thank you

  Okay, downloaded the ISO Image of Windows Server 2008 R2, created a new Virtual Machine, added the Windows Server backup and made a full backup without the destination for the backup drive, a USB Flash drive.

  Started the virtual machine of the ISO Image and it does not see the backup from a USB Flash drive, although I can see it from the command prompt.

  Also created a record gross hard pointing to the USB Flash drive and started the virtual machine of the ISO Image and he does not see the backup of the hard disk gross of the Flash USB drive, because the Virtual Machine had problems during the boot process.  Forget the exact error message, but I tried as a whole disk and a partition.  So the why I tested it by copying it to a normal file depending on the disc hard virtual (and worked).

  Finally I created a regular file based hard and copied the backup folder of the USB Flash it and then started the virtual machine drive of the ISO Image and it had no problem see the backup from the normal file based hard.

  It seems that you have to take the long way around, but at least, you should be able to see!

  I know not when booting from the ISO Image or a disc of Windows Server 2008 R2, backup tools command line are available to restore the image however you could examine the issue.  I would like to but I just don't have the time at the moment.

• VMware ESXi 4.1 on VMware Workstation

  I need to know the hardware requirements for this solution?

  You need at least 8 GB of RAM: host about 5 for both, at least 1 for the NAS and enough for your host (in my humble OPINION, I would suggest using a 64 bit distro Linux).

  But also think about buying a cheaper server and allows you to virtualize your ESXi environment.

• Cannot install VMWare tools for linux

  Try disabling the web Updater by going to Preferences > uncheck the "check the Web for updates at startup".

  You can uninstall and then install vmware player.

  You can also get the tools using Apt - get, instead of by the bias of the player interface. See this page:

• VMware view for linux client

  I'm trying to reuse some old computers (about 50), I started working on an image of Ubuntu 12.04 to deploy these computers and it seems to work great with the exception of the 1 question.  When you disconnect / logout / stop the session, you are returned to the screen where you choose your desktop session (without log in again).  Since I'm forcing the customer to see full screen as specifying the Office to connect to etc, we would like the client view logoff or restart.  Is this possible?

  Can you try to launch the client of the view with the option - once. View customer will leave when disconnect / logout / stop with this option remote desktop.
