  VMware Server 2 is not in the list of platforms supported the VITK 1.5 Release Notes.

  Perhaps one of the VMware guys can develop on what can be done with the VITK and VMware Server 2?

• VI Client and VMware Server 2

  Can someone explain the relationship between the client native windows VI and VMware Server 2?  At the present time, I am not able to login to VMware Server 2 product outside the Web access.   Agent VI does not provide any real comments on why it cannot establish a connection.  Usig VMware Server 1.X console I can generate an error of "" 501 overall GLOBAL server agent nonhost command targets not supported. ""  With the VI client I get connection error... From a shell, I can telnet to the server on port 904 (the port I have set up on) and get the connection. I tried to put in hostame.domain.com:904 in the VI client IP/name field and the ipaddress: 904. I don't know what is the version of the VI client, because there is no indicator.

  You must log in via hostname:8333 in the VIClient.

• Allocation of memory in vmware workstation

  I'm new to vmware.  I have a server I'll test this on.  I have a Server Windows 2008 R2 with 4 GB of memory.  If I install vmware workstation on it and install a virtual machine Windows XP with 1 GB of RAM allocated to it, does this mean that when the virtual machine is running the XP virtual machine has 1 GB of memory to use the host (Windows 2008) system will have 3 GB for himself to use?

  Thanks for any advice in advance.

  If your virtual machine is fully using the 1 GB or RAM, then Yes, you are correct - but remember that Workstation is just an application that runs on your server, so if the virtual machine does not all allocated memory, the application will require all this memory and so you will have more memory available for the physical host.

• Allocation of memory in Windows Server 2003 Enterprise

  Hello

  I have installed Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition x 86 with 4 GB of RAM in a virtual machine running on ESX

  3.5 and the VM shows that 3.75 GB of RAM allocated. He also

  Watch he uses physical address Extension.How is possible to get this server to see the full 4 GB of RAM. RegardsDave

  Short answer is you can't.  It is based on the Intel Architecture.  It depends on the chipset and other factors, but basically the 32-bit operating system has a limitation in the 4 GB limit.  If Intel has planned no people would use this amount of memory in the x 86 original, therefore that the limitation exists.  Missing memory is tied up in video memory and other things that must be less than the limit of 4 GB.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/279151

  SYMPTOMS

  If you use a computer that has more than 4 gigabytes (GB) of memory installed, system, Microsoft System Diagnostics (WinMSD) properties or other system utilities declare a value of memory which is 256 megabytes (MB) less than the total physical memory that is installed.

  Back to top

  CAUSE

  This problem can occur if a server uses the Intel Profusion chipset. In the dead (ROM) computer memory, memory 256 MB high region is reserved for mapped devices in memory of input/output (i/o). The amount of physical memory reserved may increase according to the number of devices of e/s that are installed on the computer. In general, a computer that has 4 gigabytes (GB) of memory real physics looks as if it has 3.84 GB physical memory total.

  The Profusion of Intel is a chipset eight-way symmetric multiple processing which is designed for enterprise-level server programs. It focuses on the power of raw processing and IO high speed performance that are commonly found in servers Dell, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard (HP) and 8-way IBM. The amount of memory consumed can be greater than 256 MB; However, the memory increases by increments of 256 MB.

  ____________________________________________

  "The MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo probably uses the Intel 945 PM chipset, which can physically handle the 4 GB of DDR2 RAM. However, a number of items that should be stored in and what RAM reached 4 GB physical RAM space, there are overlaps. In other words, in a configuration 3 GB of RAM, there is no overlap with the ranges of memory required for some features of the system. However, between 3 and 4 GB system memory tries to occupy space that is already assigned to these functions. For example, the allocation of PCI Express RAM occurs at a place about 3.5 GB of RAM and requires 256 MB of RAM. Thus, the virtual space between 3.75 GB of RAM and 3.5 GB of RAM is occupied by the PCI Express data. In a system with 3 GB of RAM, so nothing is wasted because the space required by PCI Express memory is always between 3.5 and 3.75 GB and installed system RAM does not violate this space. The net result is that at least 3 GB of RAM must be fully accessible, so that installing 4 GB of RAM, ~ 700 MB of RAM is bunk critical system functions, making it not addressable by the system. »

• Comments XP not recognize new allocation of memory and hard disk size

  I'm under Fusion 3 on a new IMac 21.5 "running 10.6.1 with 8G of RAM with XP SP3 guest.  Just migrated since late 2006 MacBook 2.06 merger to help Mac running migration wizard, then upgraded to Fusion 3.

  Main problem is that when I updated to the size of the hard drive of 40G per 100 G and changed the memory allocation of 2G to 6G, Windows operating system does not change.  Windows reports 3G memory and 40G hard drive.

  Other questions:

  OS (or VMware) is also unstable and crashes, sensitive sentence without indicating CPU heavy and sometimes does not restart, requiring force to leave.  Usually, will run 30-45 minutes before crash. One application I run is Revit 2010 (which is also unstable, has just installed service release 2).

  Tried to install new comments, but get the message "No boot device" - seen a thread for this and create the ISO image.

  David: I can't help you with the RAM, but I had the same problem when I expanded my virtual HD 20 GB to 30 GB.  Windows XP always thought 20GB and called the rest "unallocated space".

  There is a beauty of a freeware program called Easeus Partition Master - http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Master-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html?tag=mncol%3bpop&cdlPid=10982635.  Run on the Windows side (at least it worked for XP) and it should show 2 discs.  Highlight the one you want to extend, click on (expand / resize), drag the divider to full size of HD and then 'apply' and he has done the partition in about 5 seconds for me.  Problem solved.

• Allocation of memory and CPU

  Guys,

  My question may sound trivial, but I need it to be clear.
  If I allocate a certain amount of RAM and CPU (without reservation) on some VMS, if virtual machines are not fully allocated amount, is used by other virtual machines.
  I am asking that more I VCOPs reports with a lot of oversized VMs and I also I know I must take measures to reduce the overhead of each virtual machine, I need to know if the memory and CPU are shared dynamically in case of needs of other virtual machines.

  Thanks in advance.

  Daniele

  Short answer Yes, if no reservation is defined, resources are allocated dynamically.  In case of contention, actions values will be used for the allocation of resources.  Virtual machines with lots of unused memory are taxed (income tax slowed) and claimed in a balloon.  The important thing is to know what the VM workload is running, and if VMs are memory aid for the contents of the cache, it is to say sql or exchange and these may consider oversized VMs.  Monitor the virtual machine during the period during the normal business cycle and the size of your virtual machines accordingly.

• Software and Vmware Server 2.0.2

  
  Hello

  In our project, we still have a legacy VMware Server 2.0.2 and I would like to know how it is affected (if any) by software. Y at - there a patch available? or any workaround that I have to ask?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hello

  VMware server 2 is end of live for 2011...

  So, no official patch vmware will be available.

  Maybe if you search the web, you'll find something.

  You should take in mind for migrating from vmware server to another vmware product.

  In any case, if your vmware server is not directly connected to the INTERNET, the risk should not be so high.

  Best regards

• Use of memory on VMware Server 2.02

  Hello

  I put the limit of my operating system memory to 256 MB and it takes two times more memory, when I look at my processes. IM using Debian Lenny on the host and the guest operating system is the same. What could be the problem? I read that it should not take more, you allocate.

  Here's my ps to the report host:

  

  And VMware WebUI shows that the guest takes about 33 MB of memory.

  

  It's because of the overhead of memory. Take a look at table of overhead costs for overhead at http://pubs.vmware.com/vi301/resmgmt/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=resmgmt&file=vc_advanced_mgmt.11.18.html

• Impossible to use VMWare Server and Virtual PC at the same time?

  I have a Win 7 box I use VirtualPC (unfortunately, VPN to the employer only supports the 32-bit Win XP).

  If I try to start any virtual machines using VMWare Server, power on and then immediately off.  Tried several different VMs.

  However, if I disable VirtualPC, they all work normally.

  Then... there at - it a known issue with the help of Virtual PC and VMWare Server at the same time?

  BTW, I didn't see this problem when you use Virtual PC and VMWare Player at the same time.

  VirtualPC leaves the CPU of the exploitation of VMX root, which is a restricted mode.  VMware Server is problems to switch between legacy mode and long (this switch is prohibited when the CPU is in VMX root operation).  The current versions of the workstation and the player are able to circumvent this restriction.

• VMware Server and T-Mobile Huwaei BroadBand Stick

  Hi all

  I came across this post in discussions of woskstation and its exactly the same question that I see:

  http://communities.VMware.com/message/1509413

  The problem is that I can't turn off the VMware USB Service on my host machine, because there is no. Anyone of you experts can tell me how to disable this in VMware Server please?

  Or do you want to know what part of VMware Server may be in conflict with my stick to wide band and advise me on how I can have as much mobile broadband and vmware server running on the same host machine.

  Thanks in advance

  the installation of fixing VMserver USB part is not trivial - see

  who wrote for my computer, but it applies as well to VMserver.

  Have you tried to re - install?

• Determination of needs memory to SQL Server

  Hi all

  I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find the answer to this question.  And it seems strange because I really can't believe I'd be the first person in this situation.

  The situation:

  I pull some data on about 30 servers perfmon to size a new farm to run some of our external facing infrastructure.  I get good data most of the boxes (ui, search, intermediate level, etc.) but not the SQL servers.  Regardless of the load on the server, SQL seems to devour almost all available memory.  Read about managing memory SQL, it is not surprising that he would show the way in perfom and/or the Task Manager, but I need to get a handle on the amount of memory, these servers will need to function properly.

  I know that there is much more to the issue of performance, but a SQL Server in particular has 32 GB of physical memory and SQL is actively filling 30 of it.  It would make a horrible candidate (like less because our host record and consolidation target ratios) for virtual server.  That said, I like the impression that this server might work on much less and uses this 30G because he can.

  There are people who would say "Start with 4 G, test, and add more than necessary".  Unfortunately, this is not really an option for us given the timeline and the visibility of the migration.

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide assistance here!

  -Brent

  Personally I start with 1 GB and work toward the top, but this depends on how active do you think that the server is.  If you think its quite busy then try using 2 GB for the operating system and give 1.5 GB to SQL and see how it behaves.

  Unfortunately, SQL will use given to her in the SQL Manager properties before you begin to re - use all available memory.

  The only way to really tell is to determine if your server is under memory pressure and adjust accordingly.  Unfortunately, this means start low and going back as things are going to hell.

  This will help to see if your server knows the memory pressure

  Memory

  • Memory: Available bytes

  • Memory: Pages/sec reads

  • Process: Working together: sqlserver

  • SQL Server: Buffer Manager: Buffer Cache Hit Ratio

  • SQL Server: Memory Manager: Total memory of the server (KB)

  The memory: available bytes indicates the amount of physical memory, in bytes.

  immediately available for allocation to a process or for system use. It is a memory

  not currently in use by the system.

  The memory: pages/sec reads shows the rate, in incidents per second, at which the

  disk was read to resolve hard page faults. This counter indicates the number of read operations, without

  with regard to the number of pages retrieved in each operation. Hard page faults occur when a process

  fact refers to a virtual memory page that must be retrieved from disk because it is not in his

  working set or elsewhere in physical memory. This counter is a primary indicator for types

  defects that cause delays throughout the system.

  A low number of available bytes indicates that there may be not enough memory available;

  or processes, including SQL Server, may not be free memory. A high number of faults Pages/sec

  indicate excessive paging. A more in-depth look at individual instances of process: Page

  Defects/s, to see if the SQL Server process, for example, has an excessive paging can be

  necessary. A low rate of defects of Pages/sec (usually 5 to 10 per second) is normal, as the

  operating system will continue to make a home on the range of work.

  Ideally, we'd like for SQL Server to be the only application on the server and with most of

  the memory in the box. Add memory to a server and configure SQL Server to use is

  beyond the scope of this article, but the more, the better.

  The process: working together: sqlserver instance indicates the amount of memory that SQL Server

  use, in bytes. If the number is always less than the amount of SQL Server is configured

  for use by the MIN SERVER MEMORY and MAX SERVER MEMORY options, and then SQL Server is

  configured for too much memory. Otherwise, you may have to increase the RAM and MAX SERVER MEMORY.

  Buffer Cache Hit Ratio should be constantly greater than 90. This indicates that the

  data provided 90 per cent of requests for data cache. If this value is always

  low, it is a very good indicator that needs more memory to SQL Server. If it is available

  Bytes is low, which means that we should add more RAM.

  If the total memory of the server for SQL Server is always higher than the total memory of the server,

  It indicates that there is not enough RAM. This counter is in KB, as opposed to bytes for the process: working together: sqlserver

• Move a VM from VMWare Workstation 7 to VMWare Server 2

  Hi all:

  I had to create a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 7 manually prepare and now I need to move it to VMWare Server 2, which is used to run automated tests. It is our usual working process.

  I would like to know if there is a problem with it, because the process of setting up the machine took several hours, install programs, and to configure, you know.

  Should I edit the .vmx file? I copied the machine using scp, since the destination that VMware Server is installed on a remote computer; I can access which the machine in ssh and web.

  Thanks in advance for your attention and your time and best regards,

  Luis

  If the virtual machine was powered (non-suspended) offshore before moving them to the destination, you should be able to turn on without problems. Both VMware Workstation 7.x and VMware Server 2.x can use hardware virtual version 7 (http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003746), which is probably the most important thing.

  If you don't know, create a snapshot before you turn on the virtual machine to the remote site, in this way that the virtual disks have changed.

  If the copied virtual machine snapshots, you will not be able to come back to them on the new hardware if they were taken while the virtual machine is running.

• Installation of VMware workstation in a machine with vmware server 2.0 is already installed?

  is it possible to install the latest version of vmware workstation (I guess that's 6.5) in a machine where vmware server 2.0 is already installed? where possible there at - it something I should know before installing vmware workstation (eg. problems known, network suspends etc.)? in particual I am a little concerned network mangement (eg. both vmware server and vmware workstation in fact add virtaul adapters: is a possible trouble caouse?). The host of the virtual machine is vista ultimate x 64 with 8gig of ram and a quad core cpu.

  I did a little research, and from what I understand, this was not possible with vmware server 1.0 x.. as the situation has changed with vmware server 2.0?

  (in case you are wondering why I sholud be willing to do):

  I worked with vm ware Server 2.0 for about a year, but now I miss some of the features that are only present in vmware workstation: multiple snapshot and clone VM vm ware server... However is much more flexible when you don't have physical access to your VM host... so I was wondering if it is possible to get the best of both worlds : I would like to use vm ware workstation allows you to configure virtual machines and manage snapshots and vmware server to remotely manage virtual machines, I've created with workstation. Is it not possible?

  Thanks in advance for your attention
