Antivirus software on a virtual machine

• I need to install antivirus software on a virtual machine if I only use vm to a printer driver only for windows?

  Hi all

  Searched for an answer via Google and there, qualification so far found no.

  I am currently set up with Fusion 3.0.1/XP Pro on an iMac / Snow Leopard.  The only reason I use the merge on this machine is as follows.  We have a Sony SnapLab Pro UP_CR20L digital photo printer for our personal use.  Brief history on printer: these printers are sold on the commercial aspect of the site of Sony, generally used in kiosk, sales retail store settings.  Sony has provided only a Windows printer driver for this printer, so my need to use Fusion to print from my computer on the SnapLab.

  That being said, I don't want to use the virtual machine for anything other than this one function: printing photos to my photo on the side of Mac through XP for the printer folder.  No internet on the side navigation XP. Period.

  Can anyone offer upward not reasons to play with headaches run the anti-virus on the virtual machine software?

  Thank you all ~

  NONE.  Windows is not also subject to security as everyone seems to think.

  Firstly, Windows is that ALTHOUGH the user.  If you use this VM, and you surf the NET and download files, the USER is the reason Windows crashes, not Windows.

  Windows makes it EASY because you are an administrator rather than forcing users to degenerate into a user Admin Linux by default.

  So if you install Windows 2008 or Windows 7 leave the enabled user access mode, do not put the user Admins member and you will have NO problem.

  So no, YOU can't BC

• How to install the software on a virtual machine?

  Hi, I'm new to the virtual machines.  I have a physical server running windows 7 pro 32 bit, and I set up a virtual machine running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit only.  I created so I can run MS Exchange Server 64.  I have a .iso for Exchange Server file, but I can't figure how to get it in the virtual machine.  Please explain or direct me to a good tutorial, thank you.

  In this case, either use the "shared folders" feature or share the folder on the host computer with files and map it as a network drive in the comments.

  Another option - although that do not know if it works in VMware Server - is to drag & drop the files from the host to the virtual computer.

• Is it possible under the EULA to have several virtual machines on a single physical hard disk while using the same OS license or do I need a separate license for each virtual computer?

  I have several programs that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.  I would like to run each different software under another virtual machine of VMWare (5 packs of different software programs and 5 different virtual machines of Windows XP).  These would all be installed on your laptop.  I can use the same license of Windows XP for each virtual machine, or do I need a separate XP license for each (different XP in case 5 licenses)?

  It is lifted directly from my EULA:

  1. GRANT OF LICENSE.

  The manufacturer that you grant the following rights, provided that

  comply you with all terms and conditions of this EULA:

  1.1 installation and use.  You may install, use, access,

  display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE on

  THE COMPUTER.  The SOFTWARE may not be used

  by more than two 2-processor both on the

  COMPUTER, unless a greater number is

  indicated on the certificate of authenticity.
  Then...
  This means that as long as you are running two or more instances of XP at the same TIME, you agree? Or does this mean that, after you install once, you have reached your limit?
  I imagine that most people (including those who are running Microsoft!) will say that the second interpretation is correct.
  However...
  If this is the case, anyone their hard drive as a backup to clone strategy would violate the EULA!

• Virtual machines running Win 7 OS

  I'm trying to get information on how to configure a virtual machine for Windows 7. I use virtual machines demonstrate software that writes my business. I have a virtual pc that is different for each demo that I show up to now, I've been showing the software in XP virtual machines but want to migrate and start showing the software in a version of Windows 7.

  I use Windows 7 Ultimate which is what I thought was necessary to create a virtual machine from Windows 7, but it isn't clear how get the operating system in the virtual machine. Should I buy another license of Windows 7 to make it work? I'll be able to create multiple virtual pc if I buy another copy? Virtual PC uses the 64-bit version?

  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks - BP

  Unfortunately the Virtual Machines have their own separate license from the license of the host system. There are also a separate license for each simultaneous installation.

  In order to run a 64-bit VM host must be running in 64-bit as well, even if a 64-bit host can run 32-bit VM

  Each virtual machine is at least 2 files, a configuration file and then 1 VHD file for each hard disk, you configure (you can have more than one) in the virtual machine. You can have any number of virtual images, but the memory that you allocate is claimed when you run the machine will be how many can run at a time that is limited to the amount of physical memory in the computer, allowing for some to be available for the host o/s.

  Once you have the license of Windows 7 either convert the disk ISO (I use ISORecorder) or download the ISO image equivalent of Digital River. When you create the VM configuration use the control panel to include an optical drive and load the ISO in the drive. When you start the virtual machine, it will be BIOS start the virtual machine, exactly as if it were a physical computer and load the ISO the same as would a Windows 7 disc. It also works if you convert your demo software into an ISO file and install more quickly without having to use the optical drive on the computer.

• Question on moving a virtual machine from 4.1 to 5.5

  Hello

  My boss put me on the same page brings on virtualization of our systems and we are vMware 4.1 servers migration to a new Server 5.5. It has been their conversion by installing vCenter converter software on the virtual machine 4.1 and selecting 'physical machine' (even if it is a virtual machine) to send it to our Server 5.5. On the other hand, I wanted to install the vCenter on my local PC software and convert 4.1 VMS using VMWare infrastructure to send it to our Server 5.5. Are there benefits or cuts anyway compared to another?

  Specifically, I am curious if the infrastructure mode is slower than "physical machine" because the Server 4.1 must upload to the Server 5.5 through my machine, or if these two servers are just pass between them and my local computer configure work and is able to track progress.

  Thank you

  Hello. Colin

  There are two things you need to consider:

  -the first is the difference between P2V and V2V. Although the 'P' in P2V used to stand for 'physical' it really means 'power' (it is that it displays a UI converter for a few versions now). So, you can virtual machines P2V but they must be turned on. V2V OTOH have to be put off.

  -the second difference is the way in which traffic flows. In the case of P2V source machine pushes the data directly to the destination ESX (source Windows) host or destination VM THAT pull data directly from the source (source of Linux) computer; See pp.11, 12 user guide. In the case of V2V however, data traffic flows from source VM through the converter Server destination of VM. This may cause reduced performance. If your local computer is slow or distant, this decrease can be dramatic.

• How to move the Virtual Machine VMWare Workstation 10 to a completely different computer

  I have a laptop that is going to become my 'old' laptop, I bought and am always set up a new computer.

  I have a VM THAT evolution created on the 'old' portable using VMWare Workstation 10.  I installed the software VMWare Workstation 10 on the new laptop computer and am ready to move to the existing VM development since the old laptop again to continue the development of software on the virtual machine to the new machine.

  I never moved a computer virtual from one computer to another, and I guess that all I have to do is to copy and move the folder and all its content from the old laptop to the new, and then I'll be back in business?

  Just make sure it is this simple before doing so.

  Thanks for any input.

  It's as simple as that. When you start in the new machine, it should ask if you copied or moved. Answer that you moved it will keep the same MAC address and you will not be able to connect the two copies at the same time. You copied it saying assigns a new MAC and they both can connect, but a Windows machine can ask to reactivate. Seems to me he asked also to reactivate when I copied it for an Intel system AMD system, but it was a long time ago

• What are the security issues with a virtual machine?

  The question is in fact a need to install firewalls, antivirus etc. on the virtual machine or the protections on the host protect the virtual machine when it is connected to the internet?

  In General a Virtual Machine that has network connectivity is no different, then a physical Machine with network connectivity and the other must act accordingly.  In other words, a Virtual Machine is subject to the same issues that a physical Machine is when it come to be infected if connected to other physical or virtual systems and or Internet and appropriate precautions should be taken as appropriate and necessary.

• Using a USB dongle on a virtual machine in a HA cluster

  I need to install software on a virtual machine in ESX 4.0 cluster, which requires a USB dongle to be fixed in order to run in non-evaluation mode. I just came across a product called AnywhereUSB which seems to be supported by VMware. Can anyone tell if they used this product, it's all good and I'm still going to be able to have this quick vMotioning of VMS, as is currently?

  > I'll still be able to have this quick vMotioning of VMS, as it is currently?

  Yes. You will be able to VMotion VM with USB over IP solution.

• Visual Studio 2010 on a virtual machine

  Are there recommendations on installation and inside a virtual machine by using Visual Studio 2010?

  I like to keep the real development projects and files on a real disk.

  I would like to set up an isolated development environment... is it a good idea?

  VS runs at a decent speed?

  Minimum requirements of the host and client?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I'm sure that other sounds here, but yes it will work well in a virtual machine.

  The proposed configuration should work, you can use the shared folders feature, or use a network share.

  It was reported that network share approach gives better results in terms of performance.

  It should work at a decent speed. I have done software development on virtual machines for several years now and do not want to go back to physics for this as there are so many benefits.

  Requirements minimum host/guest depend on a bit of your needs. Any recent material would do, I would say a minimum of 4 GB of memory to the host is defensible, but you could get it to work with less, 2 GB is not really enough, 3 GB would work. More memory is definitely better, a platform with a dual core (or better) processor 8 GB and a nice card ATI/NVIDIA (not too old models) would be nice. Yet once, it will probably work with low end graphics card, but if you can get reasonable, you will not regret.

  Using 8 GB at the host level, means pretty much go for a 64-bit OS host.

  Hope this helps,

  Ahora veo en the Máquina virtual own that I can add a usb.

  ¿quiere decir esto as puedo mapear UN usb directly a Máquina esa?, TR're asi do not're arriesgado pinchar UN usb en el servidor how eso?, o simplemente el tema are are no me haria falta instalar any software fr the virtual machine?

  ¿alguna ajala sober esto?

  Gracias

  Hola Akumal,

  Como comenta nuestro gran amigo y gran profesional Pablo, VMware ESX/ESXi no virtualizacion hace USB - yet. Perhaps in a futuro no muy haga lo lejano.

• Need help to restore virtual machines

  I need to change the IP address of my esx. Not knowing much about linux, I just reinstalled the software esx with virtual machines. So now, I have my esx with all the files for my virtual machines... Only, I don't know how to import the backs or all I have to do to be able to start my VMs.

  Thank you.

  If a virtual computer is disconnected from the inventory in a VC... .just do it for you can come back... Right-click on the selection of ESX Server for new Virtual Machine... Select Custon (for a VM existing to recover)... Give a new name to the VM and select data center... then click Next... Select the data store... For guest operating system and Version, click Next... Select to virtual processors... click Next... Select the size of the memory... Select your network, then click Next.. Pralines there for default storage adapters and click Next...

  Don't worry about this as you would know if you need a Virtual Machine (and few people use one).

• Software required to get the value of unused virtual machines

  Almost 300 more virtual machines are running in my organization. Now, I need to identify the virtual machines that are not in use last period of one month so that I can approach the resources of concern against their virtual machines and get confirmation to remove these unused host machine virtual machines.

  Help kindly pointed out what software can provide information required for the performance of house-keeping of the Virtual Infrastructure.

  You could try vCenter Operations Manager (vCOPs).  Who has the ability to produce various reports including the integrated 'Idle Virtual Machines' that looks at the VM CPU: % idle time, disk i/o i/o idle time and % idle time network.

  I guess it would be possible to do something with PowerCLi (Google can be your best friend with this well).
