• Prevent VMware 12 office computer to always start the virtual machines using the full screen?

  I have Windows 10 with a 4 k monitor, and I want to display only virtual machines in a window of 1900 x 1200 (I need to see the other windows as well as the virtual machine).

  The problem is that since the upgrade from VMware 12, whenever I boot a new virtual machine, it always starts in mode full screen (3840 x 2160). Is there a way to prevent it from auto-cliquant the button "Enter full screen mode? He did not only VMware 10.

• Create a virtual machine using the ubuntu (host of W7) partition

  I am running Windows 7 and 8 of VMware Workstation.

  The disc is actually a raid-0. There are 3 partitions: (Dual-boot)

  -Ubuntu (64-bit)

  -System reserved Windows

  -Windows (64-bit)

  I am trying to create a virtual machine under W7 using the Ubuntu partition.

  I tried 2 things for step 'select a physical drive:

  -Use individual partitions. The problem is at the end, when you click Finish. I get the error: "one of the provided parameters is not valid."

  -Disc use whole. The virtual machine is created, but when I turned on, I get the error:

  "Could not open the disk ' C:\. [..] \Ubuntu 64 - bit.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

  Reason: the physical disk is already in use. »

  Thank you in advance for answering,

  Kind regards.

  In my tests I couldn't use a host physical diskwith a Windows 7 without setting the disc 'offline '.
  But then you can set the diskette from Windows Startup 'offline '.

  Using Linux or 2003, you don't have this problem.

• How to make a virtual machine using the full screen?

  I have a 19 '' screen.  In the web page of vm manager when I click on 'console' to get a separate window and maximize that I get a full screen, but the virtual machine does not fill my monitor as the native operating system.

  I am losing valuable real estate.

  Is there a way to fill the screen as the native operating system?  I tried to play with just about anything.  The virtual machine is in a small box, is full from top to bottom but a few inches on each side is black.

  If anyone knows it would be very useful.

  Guest operating system do you use? As said more top vmware tools must be installed for the proper functioning of MKS. Done also by pressing CTRLALTENTER your virtual machine puts your virtual machine mode full screen to use all your "real estate"?

• Someone at - it a simple example of creating virtual machine-> the affinities of virtual machine using the PERL API?

  The question just about everything said. Is there a perl extracts to create an affinity between the virtual machines.

  Thanks, Vikas, for example and guidance. Since I am abel to make it work, I thought I'd share the code example:

  My $vm_name_list;    # A list of names of virtual machine.

  My @vm_morefs;      # Filled in the managed object refes to the virtual machines, this detail not included.

  My $cluster_name;    # Name of the cluster to create the rule in

  # Find the Cluster Compute resource object.

  My $cluster_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'ClusterComputeResource',
  filter-online {name-online $cluster_name});
  If (! @$cluster_views) {}
  Die "no cluster don't compute resource named $cluster_name detecte\n";
  }

  My $cluster_view = $cluster_views-> [0];

  My $rule_name = 'affinity for $vm_name_list. "

• Who is looking at my virtual machine using the VSphere Console at the same time?

  People,

  I would like to know if it is possible to know what VI Client / vSphere console user currently displays the Vmware console at the same time for a particular virtual machine I'm working on?
  Because right now, someone else is my VM console access and may have forgotten to close the VI Client and now I'm stuck.

  This is the error that I got when I try to connect to the console. Internal error MKS due to the 'RemoteDisplay.maxConnections with a value of 1"is in force.

  Thank you

  Hello, AlbertWT-

  Well, it seems that there is another way.  You can get the number of current connections of MKS (mouse keyboard screen) for the given virtual machine and uses this value to your Select statement.  Which must correspond with the users with current MKS connections to this virtual machine.

  So, what to put with what hosted proposed and you changed, it would be like:

  $strVMName = "myVM"## get VM; will use an ExtensionData value from this later$vm = Get-VM -Name $strVMName## get the events that are for console connects, sort, and then select the first X items, based on the number of current MKS connectionsGet-VIEvent $vm | ? {$_.FullFormattedMessage -like "Remote console Connected*"} | Sort CreatedTime -Descending | Select UserName, CreatedTime -First $vm.ExtensionData.Summary.Runtime.NumMksConnections | ft -AutoSize
  

  And, a variation on the last line, the one who checks the type of the VIEvent (vs do a string comparison):

  ## same, but check the event type instead of a string compare on the FullFormattedMessage (just to not rely on string compares)Get-VIEvent $vm | ? {$_ -is [VMware.Vim.VmRemoteConsoleConnectedEvent]} | Sort CreatedTime -Descending | Select UserName, CreatedTime -First $vm.ExtensionData.Summary.Runtime.NumMksConnections | ft -AutoSize
  

  The two should work, but the second version removes the dependency on the string comparison.  For example, if the FullFormattedMessage changes in the future implementations of vSphere, things should still work (However, this would be still vulnerable to break if VMware changed the name of the type of the event).  A bit of a preference thing.

  How does do for you?

  Note: by sorting on Createduserid, this process assumes that the current console connections have been made in the order.  In other words, if someone has been connected to the console of the virtual machine since yesterday and connect / disconnect / reconnect, _you_ will be the last two events Connect.

• Prevent the player from virtual machine using the VPN to the host machine

  Hello

  One of the reasons that I have installed VM Player with the app "Browser Appliance", was for navigation, I made within this virtual machine would be independent of VPN to my host computer.

  Steps: on the host machine, connect to the Cisco VPN 5000

  On the Virtual Machine try to access a url that wouldn't be avaialable so connected by VPN

  Expected: I am NOT able to access the private URL. If the virtual machine is hacked, the hacker will have access to a URL of the company.

  Note: I use device browser 1.0 with Ubuntu linux. the adapter network mode is NAT.

  Thank you for all the advice

  I assumed that any network (wifi or ethernet) usb-based adapter should allows you to have an isolated inside the guest network.

• How to determine the size the virtual machine using the VI SDK files

  VirtualMachineFileLayout a lot of files like snapshots, configuration files, log files. I have not found any object determine the size of them, but the VI Client GUI shows the sizes of them.

  Is there a VI SDK objects that provide the size of every file?

  Thank you

  RAM

  The virtual machine, you can find warehouses of data associated with (ownership of the data store). Each data store, you can find the HostDatastoreBrowser corresponding (the property browser). HostDatastoreBrowser object, you can call SearchDatastore_Task() or SearchDatastoreSubFolders_Task.

  When you call one of the methods, a task object is returned. To the success of the task, check the property info.result of the task, the object of HostDatastoreBrowserSearchResults actual result is there. Discover the FileInfo objects - they include sizes and lately of the modified files.

  Good luck.

• Syntax to create a new virtual machine using vCLI

  I use few of ESX 3.5 servers and a server vCenter 2.5 in my lab. I installed vCLI in vCenter server. I would like to know the command to create a new virtual machine through the vCLI. Use of the below details to provide the syntax / command.

  • Name of VM - windows2003
  • CPU - 2
  • Memory - 2096 MB
  • Name of ESX - esxserver1
  • Storage - disk 30 GB C and 40 GB D drive (these two must be placed in a storage centralized. i.e., data store name is - "filer1.lun123"

  Expecting more details.

  VCLI orders are mainly used for configurations of the host, although as part of the installation of vCLI, you get also vSphere SDK for utilities Perl - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl41/doc/vsperl_util_index.html that provide additional canned scripts, which allows you to create a single set of virtual machines using the vmcreate.pl script.

• deploy multiple virtual machines using vmdk and SID file

  Hello

  Need to know if I am correct or miss me something... I deploy many virtual machines using method.

  1. remove the vmdk files a XP.

  2. create new folders and copy the vmdk into this folder.

  3. create virtual machines using existing vmdk files.

  4 rename the computer and join it to the domain.

  My question is, my VMDK files are an existing xp VM (no longer exist), what is the status of the deployed virtual machines? they still have the same SID or it is changed? I managed to join to the domain, but do not want surprises in the future.

  Note:

  I had another option, could have all these automated with new SID using PowerCLi, unfortunately, osCustomization has default, I can't event run the get-OsCustomization command, it keeps failing.

  Thank you.

  Yes, Windows writes the SID on disk (virtual disk for virtual machines) or physical disk for physical machines.  The guest operating system has no idea on the vmx file.

• Devices 6210 USB in a virtual machine using

  Hello

  I have a NI 6210 usb device which I want to use in a virtual machine running in Sun's VirtualBox.

  The host operating system is Vista, the operating system in the virtual XP machine.

  It seems as if between the two OS USB device sharing does not work correctly.

  I installed the drivers fpr the 6210 in both the host and the guest operating system.

  The device is correctly detected in the host operating system.

  What I want to do is use the usb device in the virtual machine only, there no need to be available in the host operating system.

  But when I run the virtual machine, it seems as if the usb toggle device between the host and OS invited frequently, i.e. in a second, it appears in the host operating system, in the next second it appears in the guest OS. Is there a way to "turn off" the device usb in the OS, host so that it can be used exclusively by the guest operating system?

  I also tried to use Windows7 as the host operating system but with the same result as described above.

  Thank you.

  Hi Christian,

  Can you tell me which version of the DAQmx driver you use? I am aware of a case where he helps update version 8.9 the DAQmx. If you have an older version, please upgrade. I hope that you have added a filter to the VirtuaBox mentioned such in support USB in VirtualBox help file section 3.7.9.

• Create the new virtual machine using Java API vCloud

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to create the new virtual machine in TIME, but I've stuck here. The API I'm using is vcloud-java-sdk - 1.0.jar.

  Could you please show me a code snippet how to do this?

  For now I do it like this:

  RecomposeVAppParamsType recomposeVAppParamsType = new RecomposeVAppParamsType();

  List the items < CompositionItemParamType > = recomposeVAppParamsType.getItem ();
  ReferenceType vappTemplateVMRef = new ReferenceType();

  // ??? seems that new reference to the new virtual machine should be here. But how to create this VM
  CompositionItemParamType compositionItemParamType = new CompositionItemParamType();
  compositionItemParamType.setSource (vappTemplateVMRef);

  Items.Add (compositionItemParamType);
  ReferenceType vAppRef is Vdc.getVdcByReference (vcloudClient, vdcRef) .getVappRefByName ("vApp_Websrv");.

  Vapp.getVappByReference (vcloudClient, vAppRef) .recomposeVapp (recomposeVAppParamsType);

  One day before I played with Web Services SDK, which is much easier to understand. I was able to create the vApp and VMs in vSphere. Is it possible to import machines virtual vSphere to vCloud? Should what API I use for this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You cannot add a new empty virtual machine in a paralytic.

  Instead, you can add a virtual machine from an existing vapp, vapptemplate.

  To import a vsphere vm to vcloud.

  Import vsphere vm as VAPP in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVApp()

  The importation of vsphere vm, as vAppTemplate, in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVAppTemplate()

  See also the example of ImportVmAsvAppTemplate.java, which is part of the vcloudjavasdk group.

• Virtual MACHINE using GHS restore CD

  I'm new to VMware and I'm trying to implement a virtual machine using XP Home.  I created the virtual machine and I am trying to use the restaurant 3 CD to install the operating system.  The first CD works fine, but the second can not open the file .ghs.  When I try to open the .ghs file it shows same not she, but a .gho file is there, but does not work.

  Any suggestions?   I need to convert a .iso?  If so, how?

  Thank you.

  Theoretically, you can't use restore CD to configure a new virtual machine, because they are technically linked to the computer to which they belong.

  Because the virtual hardware for a virtual machine is completely different with the material belonging to the restore CD, I don't expect that it will work well. For the case, it works well, you could face activation problems, due to the completely different (virtual) hardware.

  You might need a copy of XP retail to do a clean install of XP.
