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.

  • Update portable drive to SSD, problems with the installation of operating system and recovery system

    Compaq Presario CQ71, (model CQ71-317EA) portable system, Windows 7 family 64 - bit edition

    Hi, I tried to upgrade the original 320 GB HDD to a 256 GB SSD.

    After that replacement of the naked NTFS hard drive to SSD format, I tried to do a "factory restore" using the DVD, I created some time ago about recovery. The DVD started and recovery program ran very well, first menus for recovery/system control etc. The problem is that the program would not be allowed a resumption of the plant as the HDD was little different/more than the installed hard drive to factory.

    This is the point I'm stuck at, I reassembled the original hard drive while I find a solution.

    Is it possible to find a workaround to avoid having to order a new disc of Windows 7? Any help and advice in terms of simple-ish would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello:

    If you can still read all 25 characters of the product key of W7 on the bottom of your laptop, you can make your own plain W7 x 64 Home Premium installation media and use the product key to activate the installation.

    Download the applicable version of the W7 from the link below.  Use the SP1 media files regenerate.

    Then use this tool to transfer the ISO file downloaded on a key USB 4 GB or DVD.  The tool will make the DVD or drive bootable flash as well.

  • Create a virtual machine with the physical RAM total?

    I want to virtualize ESXi 4 on my MacBook Pro. However, I have 2 GB of RAM and ESXi 4 requires a minimum of 2 GB.

    I posted in the community of ESXi (is it possible to virtualize ESXi 4 with less than 2 GB of RAM?) and there is a solution for using ESXi with less RAM, but the problem is that I first need to run the installation with 2 GB.

    Basically, I tried to create a virtual machine with 2 GB, but the maximum I can use is 1840MB. Is it something that I do with Fusion to increase this limit? I understand that I am under a host operating system and requiring too little RAM, but just to get through the ESXi installation isn't it possible to push the VM of RAM to 2 GB and the host what OS increase the pagefile to deal with the lack of RAM?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you

    You may be able to edit the .vmx file and change the memsize option either 2048 or more. The merger is able to start a virtual machine with more memory that the host, just UI prevents common users to exceed the limits of security in general.

    I'm not quite sure what would happen if the VM actually tries to use all of the memory. If all goes well, it will be just talk and run slowly. Of course, the worst case are that it crashes.

  • Using filters and Get - view to find virtual machines with a specific guest operating system.

    I have the following code snippet to find all virtual machines with the updated OS to ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux * "prompt. It does not work. If the filter is left out, I find myself with all virtual machines.

    The immediate question is the specs for the game ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux. " Originally from the "Performance Difference between GET - VM and GET-VIEW")

    $VirtualMachines = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Config -SearchRoot $ClusterFilter


    The biggest problem for me is to understand for Get-View filter. I was capable of a bit of insight to gleen from the URL below, but I think what Miss me is the reference (Microsoft) for what is happening to the right of the equal sign. What is the correct terminology for this type of query expression / where the syntax is 'left' = 'straight' and keywords such as "-match" are not allowed.

    Right in the filter expression is an RegEx expression, please allow for characters before and after the word Linux.

    And the name of the OS is Config.GuestFullName.

    I corrected the entries more early as well.

  • Qosmio F30-114 - a problem with the installation of operating system

    Hi all
    I have a problem during the installation of operating system from the recovery disk (Win XP Media Center Edition).
    After loading the disc, I seen the installer welcome window, set up all the parameters in it and pressed the OK button.
    After that, an error has occurred (in a black console window):

    Check the type of partition MBR
    Not FOUND: Partition ID 4 is 0x00 not 0 x 88
    Seeking the TMBR
    No found TMBR!
    Fact.

    After reading this message and pressing a computer key restarts and that's all that happens.
    Also I can not install another OS (Win 7 for example), during the last part of an installation, I get a message "the work cannot be completed.".

    That's happened? I don't understand what is the reason for this problem. I was reinstall another OS (the drive recovery too) often earlier and everything was OK.

    You can install WXP using the Microsoft installation disc?
    Set the BIOS on the settings by default and to use the recovery disk again.

  • Create the virtual machine with the type of controller SCSI LSI logic SAS with PowerCLi

    Hey guys,.

    IM the difficulty to create a virtual machine with the type of controller SCSI to "LSI Logic SAS". The cmdlet New - VM im struggling to find where to create the type of controller?

    If you create a virtual machine without specifying a disk it will create a 4 GB SCSI type thick (0:0) hard drive 1 with 0 Parrall default BusLogic SCSI controller.

    What im wanting to do is to create a disk hard which is thin Prov. and create SCSI LSI logic SAS controller is set to.

    I have recived of aid by some LucD who helped direct the value of the network card in the New - VM cmdlet as follows. But I'm not able to add a hose for hard disk also like:

    | Get-hard drive | Together-hard drive - Datastore $datastore - slim StorageFormat

    And I have no idea how change the type of SCSI conroller or create it with the correct configuration?

    Any help would be great,

    Thanks in advance

    Greetings, steddyeddie-

    You should be able to use Set - hard drive and SCSI controller Set cmdlets to set the storage format of your hard drive and the SCSI controller type, respectively.  You were close to on the part of game - hard drive .  Try something like:

    ## get the VM object $vmVMSTORE23 = Get-VM VMSTORE23 ## set the harddisk storageformat to thin$vmVMSTORE23 | Get-HardDisk | Set-HardDisk -StorageFormat Thin ## set the SCSI controller type$vmVMSTORE23 | Get-ScsiController | Set-ScsiController -Type VirtualLsiLogicSAS
    

    It could pack in to your existing order to keep it as a good word, but for readability.

    Enjoy

  • How to create a virtual machine with apps to play in VMware player?

    I know that this question was probably asked several times before. I searched for the answer and just shot to the top of threads that have a few years. I know a few things have changed since then and I didn't know how that would influence the answers. I want to create a virtual machine with specific applications that will play on VMware player. What is the best way to do it and it is possible for the weak or no cost? If someone knows a tutorial or blog etc I can follow that would be great.  Thank you

  • Create a virtual machine with Maximum carrots ESXi has?

    I someone told me that VMware does not support to create a virtual machine with more than 50% of the available cores has your host. For example, I have an ESXi host with 2 CPU each with 8 cores. I have therefore 16 cores on my host. I wouldn't be able to create a virtual machine with 8 cores to be supported. Even if I am able to create a virtual machine with 16 cores? Is this person crazy me

    This is completely untrue, there is no such limitation. If your license allows, you can use vCPUs as much as your physical host has available threads and as the VM virtual hardware version allows.

  • create a new virtual machine with the default settings?

    I was wondering if there was a way to create a new virtual machine with the default settings.

    For example, let's say I want all new Lion VM to have 2 CPU cores. Is there a way to set this automatically? There are other parameters I want a new machine to inherit automatically, I was wondering if there is an automatic way to do this, or is it a feature request...

    Just for my clarification, when you say a vm model, basically I would execute a finder copy then drag back to the VM library, right?

    Yes.

    On the orders of spcirpting, it would be unix commands or are there specific vmware controls that make your job easier (in Applications/VMware\ Fusion/content or elsewhere)...

    IIRC, VMware Fusion 3 and later versions has an AppleScript dictionary, but it is not yet officially supported and may not be able to do what you want so, basically, only Unix Shell scripts, that's what I was referring to.  For an example, see my script attached to the following response: Re: vmware - script of the creation of the vm and the operating system installation process

  • Create a virtual machine with 300G

    Hello, I am trying to create a virtual machine with 300 G on an ESX 3.5 update 3 but I can't do it, I can only create a VM of 256 G

    Is it possible to create a virtual machine of 300G.

    I have a 500G LUN with software on a CX3 - 10 c EMC iSCSI

    Thank you very much

    Change the size of block on your VMFS.

    If you create a data store, the default block size is 1 MB, which will allow you to create files up to 256 GB

    Change the block to 2 MB size. However, you will need to recreate your data store and this wil destroy all data on it!

  • Let me know scenarios when different virtual machines with the same UUID are created in VMware Hypervisors?

    Let me know scenarios when different virtual machines with the same UUID created in VMware Hypervisors, aside from editing the .vmx file?

    The only other way I've seen is when you manually copy the virtual machine to another location on the data store (or another data store) and then when turn on/off the virtual machine, select I moved, rather that I copied it (the default option).  This will keep the same UUID.

  • Create new virtual machine of the model that have two hard drives in the different data store

    We do VM deploy automation with PowerCLI.

    There is already a model created with at least two hard drives to one side and each hard drive belong to difference datastore,

    In the model's operating system is Windows server 2008 R2 already installed VMware Tools and other software in the second (other than C: driver) driver

    We can successfully deploy a new virtual machine with this manually with vSphere client model.

    But when we try to make the deployment with PowerCLI, can not find examples of similar scripts in the document of reference,

    and we also google this question, still no similar question was found.

    Is this possible with PowerCLI? If it's possible could you give me some advice or an example of script, thank you!

    Best regards.

    I already found the solution.

    With the vSphere SDK .NET API, we can create the new virtual machine to the model

    Mainly used API listed below, sorry because I can not give the source code here.
