Can I create a virtual machine on a box and use it on another

• How can I create a virtual machine

  Should I create a virtual machine from a boot camp partition or install Windows XP from an existing file?  Help!

  I did a little research on the website of Apple, and the marketing point of view, they have a sort of gloss over the fact that you need a Windows install with Boot Camp.  Here is a Knowledge Base article that makes it a little more clear.  I can see if you look how Apple sells Boot Camp (and Fusion or Parallels also) the need for a Windows installation disc is kind of lost in the noise.  If Photoshop is the only thing that you think you will need Windows to consider that a Windows install disc will probably cost you about $100.  While Boot Camp offers you the best performance under Windows Me, it is inconvenient to keep restart the machine in Mac OS X or Windows as needed.  Fusion or Parallels meets the needs most (I think that most needs except for gamers) and is much more convenient, but it is an another $35 à $50 or more on top of the purchase of Windows. That's why I suggest just buying a copy of Mac in Photoshop if that's all that you'll need Windows.

  Make no mistake that you are now several computers also with Boot Camp, Fusion or Parallels.  Llke maintenance common Windows defrag, backups must be done any program installation you chose to use.  In my case I have to use some applications only available under Windows for work, and I prefer Quicken on Windows to its ' equivalent of Mac (they are not the same program) so I use Fusion.  If it wasn't for these needs I will try to be just a Mac user.

• vCO workflow: create a virtual machine from a model and then ask the user about the CPU, memory size...

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to create a workflow with vCO that can do the job for me:

  -Create a virtual machine (or maybe a several virtual machines) from a model (the model is in vCenter, of course)

  -L' user who is running the workflow has the thr right to say what he wants for the CPU, the memorysize, the disksize

  Any help?

  I found some workflows in the library can seem to do something similar to what I want, but since I'm a beginner I'd rather have your advice

  Hello there and welcome to vCenter Orchestrator

  Take a look at this series of tutorials to get an idea of how start:

  Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 1

  Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 2

  Create a Simple Self Service VM Provisioning Portal vCO - part 3

  The general approach to take would be to determine which of the clone (or clone and customize) workflows adapts to your nearest need (see your customer vCO: workflows\Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Clone\)

  Then, create a NEW WORKFLOW that calls this one... after that your clone operation is complete, keep the computer turned off virtual and add feeds of extra work from the library to your new workflow that do things like change the amount of Ram, adds disks, change CPU, etc...

  Be sure to watch the videos on http://www.vmwarelearning.com/orchestrator to get a basic understanding of the use of vCO.

• How can I create a virtual machine from an ISO?

  I just installed VMware ESXi 4.1.0 on a server and then downloaded the vSphere client to connect to the server. I created a Linux (Debian 5 64-bit) profile VM, but I have the ISO Linux file on my PC I have vSphere client installed on. How can I tell my new machine VM to boot from ISO which is glued on my PC? Is there a way I can browse my PC using the vSphere client or do I burn the ISO on a CD - R and the place physically in the CD-ROM on the host system so that I can start my Linux install?

  Thanks for any help!

  you will need to ensure that the ISO file is accessible to the ESXi host moving to a datastore VMFS or NFS dayastore which is accessible to the ESXi host - then follow the instructions here - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_vm_admin_guide.pdf on how to install forms an image - ISO

• Can I just create a virtual machine with the installation of operating system and Application in an external drive?

  People,

  Hello. I use VMPlayer to install virtual machines a few OS in my laptop.

  Because my laptop's hard drive space is not enough to create a VM more to install Oracle Linux and its Application, can I just create a virtual machine in my laptop and then install Oracle Linux and its Application in an external USB disk?

  You can create and save the Virtual Machine in any place that you have read & write access to and enough space to support what is being installed.

• Cannot create a Virtual Machine

  Hello

  I'm using VMware Workstation 10 and there seems to be a huge issue here. I can't create a Virtual Machine. After completing the Wizard "create a new virtual machine", it seems to be to do nothing. I even tried to open the .vmx file in the Documents folder itself. No matter what I do, don't open the virtual machine. I think that its not to be created in the first place.

  I am all the normal stages and have hardware virtualization enabled in BIOS. Oh, and I checked to see if Virtual Box is running, and it works well. The problem seems to be that in VMware Workstation. Can someone please help me on this? I posted pictures of the screenshot of what records looks like at the end of the wizard.

  

  

  I solved it. It turns out that I was using incompatible software - Windows7FirewallControl by Sphinx-Soft. He created trouble for VMWare even after allowing it through the firewall.

• Creating a virtual machine for Linux guest in another HARD drive

  Hi all

  I have Vmware Workstation 8.0 on windows 7 x 64. This window is installed in the primary SSD (Sata port 0), also its mbr. I also have a Linux Ubuntu Natty x 64 in my HDD (Sata port 1) with Grub installed on the HARD drive. So when I go to start my SDD just windows when I want linux, simply go to the HARD drive.

  I tried to create a virtual machine to access the linux (using the physical disk, persistent writing) as a guest during the use of windows as a host, but so far had no success. Just to easy access to linux.

  I get the message of follow-up:

  

  The configuration for this virtual machine as follows:

  

  Intel Virtualization is enabled in my BIOS.

  My specs are:

  Processor

  Processor Intel® Core™ i7 2630QM

  Chipset

  Intel® HM65 Express Chipset

  8 GB DDR3 1333 MHz SDRAM

  NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 460M 1.5 GB GDDR5 VRAM

  OCZ Vertex 3 128 GB SDD

  Western Digital 640 GB HARD drive

  Could someone help me?

  try to use "fullDevice" instead of "partitionedDevice" when you add the physical disk.

  It may also be necessary to put the disk status 'offline '.

  This worked in WS before 7?

  You can reach the vmware.log?

• Cannot create a virtual machine with more than 256 GB

  I thought that the max capacity 2 TB vm. but I can't create a virtual machine more than 256 GB. what I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  You probably use a block size of 1 MB, which limits a single HDD 256 GB.  You will need a larger block size

  1 MB = 256 GB

  2 512 GB

  4 MB = 1024 GB

  8 MB = 2048 GB

• How to create redundant virtual machines 2

  Hello

  I need to create redundant virtual machines 2 (one online and one offline). 2 virtual machines should be syncronizied.

  How would I do so that my main VM is down for some reason, my other virtual computer could kick

  Thank you

  VRanger quest vReplicator/connection will do the job and is usually very effective when using change block tracking (CBT), allowing it to determine which blocks have changed since the last replication much more quickly, which is useful for the large VMs. replication jobs can be scheduled quite frequently, so that it can not give you time real synchronization between virtual machines He can become close enough

• I need help to create a virtual machine - I am new to virtualization.

  Hello

  I am new to virtualization and I chose the merger.  I have a hard drive from a Dell died in a USB enclosure.  I have also the XP restore disks.  Can I create a virtual machine from this? Converter?

  Hello

  No, you can't legally. Your Windows XP has an OEM license that connects the OS for the DELL died. If you ask MS then the Windows operating system died with the DELL...

  Is this fair? Not IF you ask me. Can you work around it? Maybe... but its going to be a long and painful process.

  Restore XP disks have the same problem... basically... you can always try it, but I fear that you will not be able to activate the operating system because it is related to DELL hardware.

  You will need a version of windows not OEM to install on the merger (or any other virtualization product, this is a Microsoft limitation, not a virtualization)

• can not clone or create a virtual machine for vsandatastore

  Hi all

  I try to clone a virtual machine to vsandatastore. But I get the follow error:

  -> policy requires 2 replicas with discs 1 each with 0 bytes free each. Only found 0 these records.

  -> failed to create the object:

  The hardware configuration is:

  I/o Controller: LSI SAS9271-8i

  HARD DRIVE: ST91000640SS

  SSD:Intel SSSDSC2BA400G3

  10GE: Intel 82599

  When I create a virtual machine or create a file vsandatestore on the web client. I also see the same error.

  Could someone give me some suggestions? I do not know how to solve this problem.

  
  

  Thank you!

  > Policy requires 2 replicas with discs 1 each with 0 bytes free each. Only found 0 these records

  This means that all three nodes in the cluster is not participating in the storage. Check if all 3 nodes have at least 1 diskgroup and contributing to the storage

  default vsan strategy is 1 failure to tolerate what creates two replicas. so that you can either ensure that all 3 nodes have at least 1 diskgroup or create a vm storage policy replacing the default values

  Thank you

• I can run all the virtual machines (created with workstation) in VMWare player?

  Suppose I created a virtual machine in a Vmware Workstation 7.1 installation.

  Can I take all of this a virtual machine and run it on a VMware player installation?

  Or Vmware Workstation offers specific features that are required by the virtual machine to run successfully?

  Matt

  If,

  If you are using vmware player 3.x, you should have no problem.

  Do not forget that the workstation and vmware player share much of its architecture.

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• How can I know what the user creates a virtual machine?

  vCenter 2.5 update 4.

  All users of this connection are users active directory.

  How can I find who created a virtual machine from scratch / deployed a VM from a template.

  I.E. I'm visualize something like a right click on the virtual computer, then select properties and it shows you the creator / owner. A bit like the advanced windows file security tab, you can watch the owner.

  It is not a good like that.

  But the newspaper of VC, you can trace who create/deploy a virtual computer.
