All of a sudden can only run a virtual machine on a workstation to 12G, used to be able to run at least three

After years of use of my computer, I have a problem suddenly as the likes of which I've never seen elsewhere.  On a machine that was able to run three virtual computers, I now get error messages when I try to run more than one.

The message I get is displayed as an attachment.  It indicates only 1192 MB is available for the second virtual machine, I try to run.  See error message when you try to run a second virtual machine.png

The preferences that I set myself for VMWare Workstation show until 9210 MB should be available for virtual machines.  See the preferences.png workstation.

Who is running when I try to launch a second is set to use 2 GB.  See machine running virtual preferences.png

Resource monitor shows also that it should be 5376 available MB.

I'm puzzled.  What could happen?  How can I solve this?

I am running 8.0.1 build-528992.

find your config.ini file
Win7: C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini
XP and 2003: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini

and change or add these 2 lines
prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = "FALSE".
prefvmx.minVmMemPct = '0 '.

These settings should allow you to assign 12 GB of RAM or more for your virtual machines
If this is not the case - I would switch to 7.1.4

    My son - under Windows 7 Home Premium - Dec 2010 laptop, purchased at Future Shop

    It has worked well for the past 2 years.  Suddenly, on Saturday, he stopped doing anything.
    That's happened?
    I don't know, but when I started upwards, normally, all I get is the 'black screen of death", with the words"Windows 7 Build 7600 this copy of Windows is not genuine ".
    I CAN'T DO anything HERE - can't make a right click, left click, CTRL ALT DEL, menu button - nothing works

    I called the phone number - and talked to anyone - they told me to go through the www.howtotell.com - and report a counterfeit copy.  But it's NOT a COUNTERFEIT copy.
    OK - it's perhaps - but why it worked for 1.5 years?  And I bought from FutureShop, so should be reliable.  And I have the certificate of Authenticity on the back

    Don't forget - I can't do anything either in normal mode - but the Safemode with network works perfectly well.

    So, I don't know what to do.

    I don't think that's my problem - I bought a genuine copy, a reliable retailer.
    Anything you can do to help, would be greatly appreciated.

    I agree with this assessment.

    Hard drives come with a large number of spare sectors 'invisible' - it's only when they all well used by repair mechanisms built-in to the reader that the number of bad sectors Windows begins to increase from zero (in your case, it is a sector) means that there is already a significant degradation of the drive, and you can expect the count to start sooner or later back.

    I get an Fatal Exception on start up error and I can only run in safe mode on my dv6, can someone please help?  I don't really want to reset to the factory settings I have to reinstall everything.  I tried to go back through the system restore, but it keeps telling me that there is no restore point?  I'm running Windows7 64 bit OS

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Hazel,

    Start in Safe Mode, open windows control panel, open programs and features and uninstall Comodo Firewall (this will probably be listed as Comodo Internet Security depending on the version).

    Once completed, restart the laptop in Safe Mode .

    As before, open all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".  In the command prompt type the following commands and press enter after each one.

    Drivers CD                (Note that there is a space between cd and drivers)

    del cumon.sys           (Note that there is a space between the led and cumon.sys)

    output

    NOTE: If you get an error after entering del cumon.sys as the "specified path cannot be fouund", it's Ok.

    Restart the computer and see if Windows starts normally.

  • Low download speeds Internet Sophos UTM VM - but only the other virtual machines; Physical PC without issue

    So I have something very strange going on. I have a Dell custom host ISO on a Dell R310 ESX 5.5. My problem is that the Internet download is bad, but ONLY to other virtual machines. The Upload is normal physical computers.

    I currently have 4 virtual machines running:

    FreePBX, Win 2012 R2 Server, Sophos UTM (ISO VMware with the latest updates) and Win8.1 Ent.

    I have the following physical machines, I also used for testing:

    8.1 Win Office - wired

    Win portable 8.1 - wireless

    The lower test details, you can see on the image below.

    Iperf tests with 64 k window:
    Win Server 2012 to VM VM win 8 - 6.8Gbps <-VM VM good xfer
    Wireless
    Win 8.1 laptop to Win 2012 VM Server - 172Mbps <-VM to the well physical wireless
    Desktop 8.1 Win Win Server 2012 VM-619Mbps <-well wired VM

    Xfinity speed tests:
    Wireless laptop: 90Mbps down, 9Mbps place <-physical good Upload PC speed
    Wired Desktop laptop: 90Mbps down, 9Mbps place <-physical good Upload PC speed
    Win Server VM: 86Mbps down, place 0.6Mbps <-SLOW on VM!
    Win 8 VM: 90Mbps downwards, upwards 0.6Mbps <-SLOW on VM!

    As you can see in my tests, the only place the problem presented is VM to the internet. Physics to the internet works fine. My only thought is that there is something with the switch to the host or the MAC address.


    I don't think it's the Sophos Nic because it works very well from the physical to Sophos to Internet. I also have a ticket with Sophos Support; they look on the side of Sophos.

    Thoughts?

    Upload issue.png

    I sent Wireshark packet capture of the Sophos support and they had this to say:

    This is to inform you of the issue, you face the slow, ask you please see attached screenshot of the capture of packets. We have found the package wth ECN (explicit congestion Notification) and CWR (Congestion window reduced on the VM machine, please get this checked with support of virtual machine or VM adapter. This happens when he fell over packages and the congestion window is reduced, that the issue is not with the UTM.

    In addition, indicator of Congestion window reduced (CWR) is defined by the host sender to indicate that it has received a segment TCP with the ECE flag set and that she had responded to the congestion control mechanism that indicates there is a congestion in the patch.

    So I did some research and the solution is to disable all options of unloading in the advanced settings of the NIC as shown in these two links:

    Cyber Explorer: Improved VM broadband network VM on an ESXi platform

    Disable offloading TCP in Windows Server 2012 | Knowledge Center | Rackspace Hosting

    This solved my problems. I now cross 9Mbps downloads on my VMs. hope this helps someone else!

  • Can not power on virtual machines "cannot access the file because it is locked.

    Virtual machines have been working well - then the storage system is down.  After the storage system returns upwards that I can't turn on a number of virtual machines.  Get this error when I try to turn it on:

    Cannot power on vmname on esxhostname.xxxxx.com. Unable to access file < unspecified file name > because it is locked
    error

    1. To check the locks on the Service Console on non ESXi servers, run the command:

      lsof | grep

      COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE SIZE NŒUD NOM_PERIPHERIQUE
      71fd60b6-3631 root 4r REG 0.9 10737418240 23533

      Note: If there is no Console of Service process the locking file, you should receive no printed output. If you receive results, however, file a support request to identify the process and to determine the causes.  If it is a third-party process, however, contact the appropriate provider to determine the cause before you kill the process ID, because it can happen again in the future.

      Stop the process and the lock ID using the kill command. In the example above, the process ID is 3631:

      kill the 3631

      After the termination of the process, you can try to turn on the virtual machine or access the file resource.

    2. To check if the virtual machine is always a world ID assigned, run these commands on all ESX/ESXi hosts:

      CD/tmp
      VM-support - x

      Available to debug worlds:
      WID =

      On the ESX/ESXi host where the virtual machine still works, kill the VM, which releases the lock on the file. To kill the virtual machine, run the command:

      VM-support - X

      Where the is the ID of the world of the virtual machine with the locked file.

      Note: this command takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Answer No to "can I include a screenshot of the virtual machine", and answer Yes to all subsequent questions.

      After the termination of the process, you can turn on the virtual machine or access the file resource.

    Deleting the file .lck (NFS only)

    The virtual machine files can be locked via NFS storage. You can identify this as reported by .lck files. # (where # is the ID of the world that holds the lock file) at the end of the file name. It is a NFS file lock and appears only when you use the ls command as it is the hidden file.
    Beware: they can be removed safely only if the virtual machine is not running.

    Note: VMFS volumes have no .lck files. The locking mechanism for VMFS volumes is managed within VMFS metadata on the volume.

    You must kill the process that is locked, if it is not the case, you probably need to restart the VMware host.
    I tell you from experience most likely end up rebooting it.

  • How the physical machine can communicate with the virtual machines as well as the internet should work on a virtual machine

    Hi team,

    I ask that you forgive for asking a silly question without doing a free search.

    I'm using VMware workstation 6.5. I am able to communicate with both machines by selecting 'only option of home. "

    Is there a way by which the physical machine can communicate with the virtual machines.

    At the same time through the VMS, is it possible to access the Internet from the physical amchine.

    Help, please.

    Concerning

    Sriapti

    When you use a bridged vNIC the customer acts as any other host, so that you can access is by his IP (or name if a DNS configuration exists as you acceding to any other host.) What tools you can use depends on the guest operating system and the software available.

    I assume you mean access deskopt. Then you can use RDP (Windows Terminal services) or VNC (tight/tiny).

    For Linux, you can use this last or all the flavors of SSH. In the case of Linux, I use VNC through SSH tunnel. You can also tunnel X through SSH, so if you have an X server on another host (such as the Hummingbird for Windows), you can open your own office remotely there.

    Bouquet,

    Great to hear that your problem is finally solved.

    Regarding 2nd query you have raised, it is not possible to have the program running if you turn OFF the computer (it's like saying you want the bulb to keep bright despite off). When stop you the machine, you turn off the power... so there is no way that the current state maintained. When start the computer again the next time it starts on new.

    But there are 2 options that can help you with your problem: -.

    1 SAVE your changes before you close the program, and choose next time when you start the computer

       File ->Open (This way your work is preserved and you need not start afresh next time onwards)
    

    2. instead of turning off the computer, choose to Hibernate. When Hibernate you (and NOT CLOSE) the current state is preserved. This means that if you leave the notebook running he will remain in the same State when you next start your computer the next time.

    PS: as this forum is for the FF to discuss related issues, I propose that for further assistance e-mail me at my personal mail ID [email protected]' rather than discuss it here on this forum

    Now your problem is solved with kindness mark this as closed discussion (marking/choice of appropriate solution helped you)

  • How can I register a virtual machine in the command line?

    I want to automate the registration of virtual machines in my VMWare Fusion.

    I have the vmx file. I can do this by using the command line?

    If not, how can I do it automatically?

    Thanks in advance.

    There are two main methods you can interact with the Virtual Machines outside user of VMware Fusion, the VIX API and vmrun interface and with the registration of these two commands are not supported with VMware Fusion (or VMware Workstation.* (* Non-exclussive VM)}.)  Recording controls are used primarily with vSphere.  VMware Server also supported recording orders.

    BTW, from a Machine virtual Finder by double-clicking on the file of configuration of Machine virtual package or .vmx if it is already running and is not created through the interface user of VMware Fusion, for example created in VMware Workstation VM and copied on a Mac, created manually or via a script solution.  Although she will then have to be manually recorded.  Registered/not registered in this context the Virtual Machine appears in the library of virtual machines VMware Fusion.

  • Can I remote in virtual machines directly?

    I run vmware player on windows 7 and have a few virtual machines from CentOS 6 for Windows Server 2008.  I know that I can access virtual machines by remote access in the host operating system, but it's kind of messy.  I can remote directly in virtual machines? I know I would probably mess with some network settings to make it work, but before that I just want to know if it CAN be done with virtual machines running on VMware player or if I need another (non-free) version or what.

    Thank you

    Access to a Virtual Machine, everywhere, is not fundamentally different, then access to a physical Machine act accordingly and correctly configure makes directly accessed remotely if you want.  The value of the Bridged network adapter, set up your router correctly to the packages before him and you're in business.  It can also be done with the virtual machine Network Adapter the value NAT however this technique requires additional configuration and another layer of process so the bridged configuration and physical router configuration is easier and more direct.

  • using the converter no option for "Type of Destination." I am allowed only 'VMware Infrastructure virtual machine'

    Hi, I am looking to convert my localhost Ubuntu 9.10 for a machine virtual (vmdk) using vCenter Converter Standalone Client 4.0.1.

    I am at the step #2 (specify the Destination) and I expect to converter to allow me to choose a path to store the hard files.  However, 'Destination Type' does not have any selection - only 'VMWare Infrastructure virtual machine' is available.  (also there is input to the server, username, and password fields)

    What I am doing wrong?

    Thank you

    Hello

    using vmware converter 4.01 when virtual do physical power machines Linux the only available destination is ESX (i) server.

    One possible way to solve this handicap can be what makes an image of the Linux system using one of support for the products of the image and then use the vmware converter to set up the image of Linux box as a source and destination that it doesn't have to be a server ESX (i)

    If it comes to an eventual conversion, you can use a trial license with the product of the image (e.g. acronis true image or norton ghost).
