7 - fusion '3D Acceleration requires an update of the VMware tools in the Virtual Machine'
Hello
I installed the free Fusion 7 trial this week on my iMac and subsequently installed Windows 8.
The resolution of the screen under Windows is very low compared to the Mac OS.
In addition, I have the warning message in the Windows display settings:
'3D acceleration requires an update of the VMware tools in the Virtual Machine'
I also note that the display driver in Windows is the display driver database with Microsoft.
A few weeks ago I installed version 6 of Fusion and it worked very well.
Any ideas?
Thank you
John.
Take a look at the installation and the use of the VMware tools and more spicifically to manually install or upgrade VMware Tools in a Windows Virtual Machine.
If by chance, VMware Fusion is not properly mounting image VMware Tools windows.iso file then you have to do it manually. It is located in "/ Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/isoimages/windows.iso" and will have to be copied, not moved, in a location that is accessible out of the bundle of VMware Fusion.app as the office. If you need to do this, you can right click on the bundle of VMware Fusion.app see the content of the selection box and access its location to copy. To assign the windows.iso on the CD/DVD image, take a look at: Connect and Set Up a CD/DVD Drive

Wrong message 'VMware Tools can be updated' for the virtual machine within ESXi 4.1
These VMware tools in my guest operating system keep on the list "VMware Tools can be updated" and the yellow exclamation point.
Host operating system is ESXi 4.1.0 build 348481
VMware Tools version is 8.4.8 build 491717
It is not on the files with the extension.001 as described in the following article
I checked and there is no file with this extension.
I think that VMware tools is unable to read or to compare the correct numbers. Or is there another reason?
Reply to my own post:
The answer, in fact the procedure, is inside this article:
https://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-31365
For some reason VMware Tools is not installed correctly (for example files from previous versions are left inside the hard disk). So I have to do a manual cleaning before you reinstall the tools.

I have a cluster of three ESX servers. They are IBM 3650 and they are the exact same material bought at the same time. They even the same exact versions of the firmware (bios, bmc, nic firmware, HBAs, raid, HDD firmware, rsa, etc.). I started their reclassification of ESX 3.5u3 to ESX4 with all the latest patches. Then I updated one moved some top vm and upgraded vmware tools and virtual materials without problem. So, I went and upgraded the following ESX Server and has started moving the machines on that one and upgraded vmware tools and virtual hardware. I tested the functionality of the ESX servers and they seem to work fine. I vmotioned machine version 4 hardware virtual machine between the two developed level ESX host very well so I me with the upgrade process. Then I had to vmotion, one of the virtual machines updated (version 7 of material) between the two ESX hosts newly improved and they won't vmotion. It gives me the error CPU host is not compatible with the requirements of the judgment of the VM to CPUID level register 0 x 1 'ecx '. The full error message is in the attachment.
Apparently, the virtual machine hardware upgrade exposed a few additional things virtual machine that prevents vmotion to work. I don't know what and I'm quite surprised because these machines are identical identical hardware and firmware.
All of the suggestions.
This is a known unfortunately problem

This is a quote from the VMware Fusion Professional 6 product page:
VMware Fusion 6 Professional comes with IT administration tools to help you deploy VMware Fusion using Apple or a management solution third Mac as of JAMF's Casper Suite. Further reduce the cost of support of Windows desktop using the mode of single virtual machine that limits user access to the library of the Virtual Machine, the ability to create virtual machines or migrate PCs and reduces the options of the menu.
Where can I find these IT administration tools? I want to block my VMware users to a single virtual machine so that they can not blow by creating new virtual machines, etc.
How can I do this?
Thank you!
Glitch004,
You could follow the steps to activate the single mode of VM:
1. turn power off all running VMS and out the merger.
2. Add the following line to/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion / config
installerDefaults.simplifiedUI = 'TRUE '.
3 restart merger and you will find:
. VM library is hide in the VM menu.
. only one virtual machine can be used, while click second VM Fusion of the reports ' Unable to open document. "

My vSphere infrastructure 5 uses several data stores.
Two data warehouses are associated with NFS on different NAS shares.
I migrate VM to a data to another store.
The navigation data store, I see that the files are moved from the old data store to the new and that no file belonging to the migrated VM still does exist on the old data store.
If I look at the list of VMs on the old data store, I still see the old VM.
I see it in the list of the virtual machine on the new data store as well.
I checked that no .iso no pagefile is in the old data store.
How can I update the list of the virtual machine on the old data store?
Above all, how can I safely delete the old data store by ensuring that the virtual machine works very well on the new data store and I don't lose anything?
Concerning
Marius
This use of data store 'Phantom' is usually observed, if the current configuration of the virtual computer points to the 'old' data store (diskette, CD-ROM) or the virtual machine contains snapshots where - at the time where tone have been created - the VM has had these references. Once the snapshots are deleted from data store 'ghost' will go away from summary of the virtual machine.

Error: Running VMware ESX in a virtual machine requires the external virtual machine
We are running ESX Vmware 5 on a virtual test in ESX 4.x environment and machine unable to start the virtual machine on Vmware ESX 5. with the following error.
Error: -.
Running on a virtual machine VMware ESX requires the external virtual machine is configured to run a VMware ESX guest operating system. You can not power on a virtual machine until the external virtual machine is reconfigured.
We found after KB
Howerver, I'm not able to find the option
- Select the virtual machine that is running ESX.
- Go in VM > Settings.
- Click the Options tab.
- Select the General settings.
- Under

, select VMware ESX. - Click OK.
We are not able to find this option in ESX 4, so we can run this VM.
Please help urgently...
Kind regards
The log file looks good now. However, it seems that ESX 4.0 is older than I remembered. Please, add the following line to your ESX VM configuration file and try again:

Host CPU is not compatible with the requirements of the virtual machine to CPUID
Hi all
I try to power on a virtual machine Windows 64 bits on the ESX the Vcenter 4.1, I keep receiving the message:

Do you mean that because I'm under ESX 4.1 on VMWARE WORKSTATION, that is why I will not be able to run a 64-bit guest operating system?
Yes, this is the case, and there is no work around.

Automatic shutdown of the virtual machines in the Update Manager
Is it possible to automatically stop the virtual machines as part of the Update Manager? We have our virtual machines configured for auto power off/start with the host. But when we apply a lot of patching ESX using the Update Manager, he waits for us to stop manually before putting the host in maintenance mode.
Any way to automate that? Thank you!
But when we apply a lot of patching ESX using the Update Manager, he waits for us to stop manually before putting the host in maintenance mode.
Lol WHA each fails to accomplish is ESX is an enterprise product, it must be used with vMotion. If the Update Manager is designed to make this easy and pain free, so if you have the shared storage, your VM will migrate to another host, maintenance is done, and the virtual machine back.
ESX is essentially a hands on environment. I know everyone can't afford a SAN, but ESX caters to these large enterprise systems that do not have SAN.
By making a patch, so we are now toward the Windows stand alone everyday server where you have done EACH server, or do it manually power off / closure of EACH virtual machine is EVEN easier to do this 1 by 1 on EACH physical host.
Consider so it cannot be the best option, it isn't that hard to select ALL VM under tension and click "shut down guest. Besides that if you plan for a breakdown, you can stop the VM remotely (if windows) by using a shutdown script.
There are a lot of options to do this, but there is no stopping the VM before update, you must do it manually.

SAS Logic Controller / update of the virtual hardware
so I did experiments with virtual hardware, logic SAS SCSI Controller in the virtual machine and enhance network drivers.
First it is just me, or is this a VERY intensive upgrade, you must install the NEW vmtools, then stop, then upgrade the hardware (this is why I have experimented with the realization of the upgrade, and then Tools, which works very well). However, using even a NEW CD of Windows install (2003) and the floppy disk controller, the SAS drive is not recognized. I can add it during the 'press F6 for new controller... ". "blah blah blah... but he said some people found hard drives, as well as change the controller, despite having installed drivers with the tools of the NEW virtual machine still cause the OS to blue screen, inaccessible device.
So now the question arises, someone understood what driver to use for this? They should be, but they do not seem to work, FTM
SAS controller is also required for the Windows Clustering 2008 because the old LSI adapter will not work (lack of support for SCSI-3).

VMWare Fusion makes a break from the virtual machine because the disk is almost full.
Is I myself am sitting at my computer this morning, I saw a message that says the guest system Windows XP Pro on my Mac Mini has been suspended. Here is the message:
"VMware Fusion has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full."
I can't find a way to shut down Windows to resize hard disk space allocation. I tried the Virtual Machine menu, but all the shut down/put off the power points are grayed out.
Any ideas out there?
You must read the message!
BTW if force you the VM to the bottom you may corrupt the virtual system hard disk and or the VHD file and you need to just do as the message says and free up space on the OS X hard disk even if you temporarily move a few things on an external hard drive so that you can then reactivate the Virtual Machine and continue on the it.

cc of InDesign requires an update on the folio generator
I tried to remove the AAMUPDATER as advised, but this only created a new problem. Folio Builder always requires an update, but now, none are available.
I was really excited to try the ipad for our magazine and a bit disgusted app generator I can't even begin.
any help would be great.
(maybe it's in the wrong forum, but I can't find anywhere else in the message)
If you have obtained a copy of the CC through one of our pre-release programs, post your question in the forum for this pre-release.

VMware Fusion cannot connect to the Virtual Machine
Then the Setup program tries to update to VMware Fusion 2.0.2 to 2.0.4 to a standstill during the process, and now I can't start Fuison, I get the messge seen below. I have an installed registration number and the software is registered.
Running 10.5.6 on a MacPro double 2.8 quad. XP Pro under Fusion.

Do you mean the serial number? In any case restart the Mac and if this does not make a difference then uninstall/reinstall VMware Fusion and restart the Mac later. Note: VMware Fusion of uninstalling/reinstalling does not remove your Virtual Machines.
