• Unable to Boot PXE under VMWare Workstation

  Note: This is a LABORATORY environment!

  I have 2 servers

  SRV1 - DHCP, ADDS

  SRV2 - WDS

  Both are installed in VMWare Workstation 12 and is assigned to a Segment named "Server LAN" local network.

  I have 2 Workstation

  WKS1 - no BONES and Belonged to a local Network Segment named "LAN Workstation"

  WKS2 - with OS (Win8) and Belonged to a local Network Segment named "LAN Workstation"

  1 Virtual router connected both the Segment of LAN 'Server LAN' and 'LAN workstation.

  Virtual router is configufed for transfer/DHCP relay.

  I can say that the DHCP relay works because WKS2 can get an ip address from the SRV1 when starting Windows 8. However, WKS1 and WKS2 in PXE startup I get this message.
  

  Any ideas?

  I solved the problem, it turns out that option 66 and 67 was not configured in my DHCP for the scope that has been maintaining the "LAN workstation.

  I have configured the DHCP in SRV1

  Option 66 for point on my WDS server.

  

  and Option 67 to point to the 64-bit version of wdsnbsp.com in the wds server.

  

• The upgrade from VMware Workstation 12: can I install above?

  So I just bought a license to upgrade to workstation 12. Now, I noticed that it is (finally) 64-bit native. However, 11 Workstation is native 32-bit. Can I just install VMware Workstation 12 top like I did the upgrade from 10 to 11? Because the 10 and 11 were native 32-bit.

  The question is moot.
  Upgrade has always meant uninstall the old version, install the new version.
  If you do it yourself, you have more control, but the results will be the same.

  The safest option is: uninstall manually - reboot - check registry for services that have not been removed - if necessary, repair registry - restarts again and then install the new version right after the restart.

• Move the VM from VMWare workstation 7.1 for ESX 4

  I have a virtual machine created in VMWare workstation 7.1 (Machine virtual Version 7) and have copied to the data store on a host ESX 4 Update 1

  I don't know why I still need to re - import the virtual machine with vmkfstools-i source/destination before it will boot as ESX 4U1...

  Can someone shed some light on this?

  Hello

  Have you tried using the Workstation 7 export feature?

  By using this feature, you can create a consistent ESX VM or a virtual appliance which you would then be able to reload on your ESX.

  In VMware Workstation, click file-> import / export

  For the Source, you must select the Type of source: 'others '.

  then, you look up your VM's vmx file.

  Once in the destination Type, select VM Infrastructure VMware or Virtual appliance.

  If you select VMware Infrastructure, it will ask you your server address VCenter or ESX + credentials and it will load it automatically.

  If you select Virtual appliance, you will be able to create an OVA or file OVF that you can use to create a new virtual machine based on this device in VClient.

• 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.

• How to import a virtual of ESX from Vmware workstation machine

  Hello

  I have to move a VM ESX 3.5 to vmware workstation. Is there anyone know how to do this?

  The ESX server and workstation are different network location.

  Thank you!

  Simply copy - Workstation can run virtual machines created with ESX - there is really NO need to torture this innocent VMs with converter

• Migration from VmWare Workstation to a server solution

  I am running 8 virtual machines of Windows XP inside VMWare Workstation on Windows 2008 (which I use as a workstation) in a box of Quad Core with 8 GB RAM.

  My plan is to move the virtual machines of Windows XP on a separate server and possibly add a bit more to their number. I would also like to migrate the server functions of the current WIn2k8 box on that same server. These functions are the portion of light file, very lightweight SQL server and a few other minor services.

  I am happy with VMWare Workstation and in particular the VMWare Tools application, because it makes the Windows XP virtual machines as reagent as if they were not VMs. It is important that after the migration, the virtual machines are as sensitive as they are now, given that I have would be to connect to them via ethernet to a Vista/Windows 7 machine by any means is the best (Office distance or something else).

  I would like to know what solution I should opt for, I think that the options are either ESX/ESXi (what is the difference here?) - am I right that the best way to buy, as part of VMWare Server or VMware vSphere - 1.x on WIndows Server.

  I have no requirements of availability/redundancy.

  This means that ESX has a management console - what is a Linux kernel, you can perform operations as if you were on a Linux machine.

  ESXi uses a very small SSH server and officially there is no way to interact with the machine on the console - everything is done by outside

  They give the same ESX features no matter what version you use, just to manage that you need to do differently.

  Of course ESX/ESXi works that on some hardware - there is a HCL and also a community supported the list machines that are capable of runnning ESXi, but are not supported by VMware.

  VMware server - can run on practically a Windows y / OS Linux

  Good luck to you ventures!

• Solaris VM is not running on ESX4.0 after the conversion of VMware workstation 6.5

  I have created Solaris VM on VMware workstation 6.5, but now I want to run it on ESX 4.0. After the conversion of Solaris VM from VMware workstation in format by converter 4.0.This VMware ESX VM restarts again and again on the boot of power.

  VMware workstation is running on Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5420 and ESX 4 running on the Unisys ES3220L system

  Help, please...

  How was the original virtual controller?

  If it's IDE, you will need to also change SCSI to IDE on ESX 4.0.

• Ubuntu 9.10 not working do not under Vmware Workstation 7

  My OS is Windows 7 pro and I'm using Vmware Workstation 7. I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed and it is powered OFF.  He worked at one point but does not work now. "I get ' permission on file - cannot locate the VMDK errors."   I want to upgrade from VMware Workstation 8. Should I go to the control panel and REMOVE Ubuntu 9.10 before installing Workstation 8 or will the upgrade fix, regardless of the errors I receive?   Any suggestions or ideas will be greatly appreciated.   Thanks in advance.

  From what you wrote it would be interesting to check the permissions of NTFS from the virtual computer. You should check the files using the Explorer. Where is your computer virtual stored or saved? Have you moved?

• vSphere VMware Workstation - is it possible?

  I remember reading blog Mike Lavericks vSphere running with respect in an another ESX - there ran very well. My hypothesis is that the NDA to vSphere is over and someone can answer all the questions running vSphere as a virtual machine and so all guests can be run from there VMware Workstation in vSphere?

  It would be very happy to be able to run a cluster of vSphere ESX from VMware Workstation you can currently with 3.5 for the etc test

  For those who are interested in Mike's blog - http://www.rtfm-ed.co.uk/?p=1049

  Thank you!

  Yes, it is possible.

  I've got 2 copies of ESX 4.0, 1 ESX 3.5 U2, 1 XP VM, DC 1, & 1 vCenter server running on my desktop...

  

  Just make sure that you have a processor with Intel VT or AMD - V and have it turned on in the bios.

  See you soon,.

• VMWare Workstation 10 - Nested - ESXi5 PXE TFTP Timeout after DHCP received.

  Hi guys,.

  I've been looking through similar reports but could not find any so far... That's why the post...

  I have 10 VMW running on a core i7 lappy, with all 3 hosts that are connected using the host only (vmnet1) network.  It works very well.

  The hosts are: Server PXE build/Shoemaker, a Win 2 k 8 R2 only for Vsphere client and the other, as you probably guessed, is a host ESXi5 (built by PXE from the cobbler server)

  Now the addition of a virtual machine on the host ESXi, the PXE boot process gets the correct dhcp address from the build server, but then an ARP timeout trying to tftp the pxelinux. - file 0.

  
  

  Both sides of the vswitch TCP dump shows the ARP request being made and responses sent through box construction, but never arriving on the side of the virtual machine of the vswitch.

  I activated the vswitch promiscuity, forged passes on vswitch0, I tried different nic types - all with nothing done.

  
  

  The vswitch0 also realize management traffic (vmk0), and a virtual test can ping this address when it is started from an iso direct, but out further.
  

  Known solutions or suggestions?  I must be missing something =)

  Course =) I revisited it after a few FF XIV.  My apologies for wasting your time-

• Workstation 9 - broken PXE boot - works with 8 workstations

  VMware Workstation 9 newly released, the PXE boot is broken. It works on the same machine with VMware Workstation 8.

  
  Virtual machine specifications:

  -Windows 7 and Windows 7 x 64

  -Bridged networking

  -2 1 processor cores

  I tried on different hardware, without Windows Firewall, but the PXE boot is broken when you use Workstation 9. Any thoughts as to why her behave this way?

  We are trying to perform a PXE boot and it gets everything stuck by sending requests for the services of pre-launch on the remote server, however, it seems that the return packets are not received. On 8 workstations, these are received and PXE boot works correctly.

  There is no AV installed in the host operating system.

  Wow, okay, just confirmed this seems to be a MAJOR bug in the work station 9, concerning ONLY to run 2 hearts or 2 CPUs. I tested with my cell phone would support all configurations (this is a quad core with hyperthreading). This applies in my case to Novell Zenworks Imaging, but can affect more.

  Results

  Config	PXE
  1 processor, 1 core	Success
  1 CPU, Core 2	In case of failure
  1 CPU Core 3	Success
  1 CPU, Core 4	Success
  1 CPU, Core 6	Success
  1 CPU, Core 8	Success
  2 CPU, 1 core	In case of failure
  2 CPU, Core 2	Success
  2 CPU, Core 3	Success
  2 CPU, Core 4	Success
  4 CPU, 1 core	Success
  4 CPU, Core 2	Success
  8 CPU, 1 core	Success

  Now here it gets crazy. My issue seems to be with the v11.2.0.0 of the Agent Novell PXE (Preboot Execution). It says "Sending queries to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" then he received never actually do anything to continue the boot process, but ANY other config except 2 CPU or 2 cores CPU works fine.

• VMware Workstation BIOS 9 - cannot change the boot sequence

  I have a Windows 2003 server that has almost zero space on the C drive, so I'm trying to start a utility disk so I can I repartition.

  HOWEVER... F12 not letting me NOT select a different boot device. If I go into the BIOS and go to the start menu, I see the hard disk and not the CD is at the top of the list and there is no way to change the boot order. Up, down and '+' and '-' keys don't do. The machine is a version that compatible with 6-7, but I shouldn't have to level 9 (I think, anyway).

  The boots of the virtual machine so fast but after that everything a 100 attempts I can't else primary hard drive to boot first.

  TIA

  Kevin

  With VMware Workstation (or at least tab of the virtual machine) closed, add

  bios.bootDelay = "5000".

  to the virtual machine's .vmx file. This will add a 5 second delay for the startup process that will allow you to hit the "ESC" key to the start menu and to attach an ISO or CD image to the virtual machine. Make sure that the virtual CD-ROM presents itself as 'Connected' before proceeding with the selection of the boot device.
