• 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.

• Can't access c$-the comments since the upgrade of VMware Workstation 7.0.1

  Hello

  Since I've upgraded to a trial version of VMware Workstation 7.0.1 I can't connect to a share on a virtual (WinXP SP3) computer. The host operating system is WinXP SP3. I get the error "error system 64. The specified network name is no longer available. »

  My virtual machines have been created with Workstation 5.5.8 with which he had no problems with access to actions on the virtual machines.

  I can ping the virtual machine from the outside and I can access shares from inside the virtual machine on other machines (physical).

  It is therefore no problem of connectivity.

  I disabled all firewall (host and VM) without success.

  The only thing I did was to upgrade to 7.0.1 5.5.8. A modified in any configuration.

  How can I do my actions work with 7.0.1?

• Can you teach VMware WorkStation to attach NOT some devices to a virtual computer?

  What I find more tedious with VMware workstation (I use v9) is, it still attaches automatically * all * USB devices being plugged in while that VM Workstation automatically runs in a virtual computer.

  On my laptop work/computer workstation I frequently have a VM open for long periods while developing and testing programs. In the meantime, devices all USB (USB, security tokens, my cell phone keys, etc.) I plug are automatically attached to the VM without asking. However, I want to be attached to the host, which is the main system. Only when they show up there for more than half a minute or so after plugging the, I usually realize that they * new * have been connected to the virtual machine, then I neeed to detach and their connection to the host instead manually.

  I find it ANNOYING! Can't you teach WorkStation to memorize these settings and automatically connect devices, which were previously attached to some VM or at least ask me?

  M.

  This may not indicate all the scenarios, but it of a place to start, have a look on: disable the AutoConnect USB devices

• Ubuntu 11.04 very slow after upgrade to VMWare Workstation 8.0

  Hello

  After the update to VMWare Workstation 8.0 my Ubuntu 11.04 comments system (which worked very well with Workstation 7) behaves very slow sometimes.

  Slowly I want to say first that it is very laggy when I scroll conent inside windows, and also when I move windows.

  And with sometimes I want to say that this is not always the case. Sometimes, everything works fine for 1 or 2 hours and she begins and, sometimes, that's the problem immediately after starting Ubuntu.

  The problem occurs when restart Ubuntu does not help. But what is stopping Ubuntu and also restart VMWare Workstation on the host (in my case Windows 7) completely. When I do this and I'm lucky everything seems normal again for a while (1 or 2 hours). After that starts all over again.

  VMWare Tools is installed and the comments system has more then enough resources. I also improved the virtuale image to the latest version so that the new features in Workstation 8.0 are available.

  I first thought that maybe it's a RAM problem but the system begins to lag when there is still 1 GB + RAM available and 0.0% swap used.

  Any ideas what I could do? This is quite annoying...

  You can see the same bug that is described in this thread: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1840185#1840185

• How can I run VMWare Workstation on a virtual host?

  I need to run VMWare workstation 7.1 on a 2008 R2 virtual running on ESXi.  The software installs fine, but when I try to start the virtual machines I get the following error 'you are running VMWare Workstation via an incompatible hypervisor.

• 2.04 Ubuntu comments on VMware Workstation 9 under Win7 can't see ext4 USB drive

  Comments from 2.04 Ubuntu on VMware Workstation 9 under Win7: on computer A trivially, I connected to an out-of-the-box 64 GB USB drive formatted for VFAT on Ubuntu in a VM. I re-init'ed the player for ext4 (mkfs.ext4), mounted, drop a bunch of stuff on him (which took awhile), he dismounted and walked away. The next day, identically configured computer B, I inserted the USB key. Natch, Win7 may not go up because it does not ext4. But Ubuntu don't see either, so I can't be installed. Do not see under removable devices, no small icon bottom left of the screen of VMware, nothing in the settings menus or properties, etc. I think it's just me being a noob to VMware, but it seems that Ubuntu under VMware Workstation 9 cannot see the drive unless Win7 can go up. Seems unlikely. KB searching, Googling, etc. produce many unrelated things. Ideas? AdvTHANKSance.

  Here is the final answer: works great on an earlier version of VMware Workstation 9 on one of the Windows 7 of my client machines, it didn't work on my Windows 7 computer. I upgraded to VMware Workstation 10 on my Windows 7 computer, and now it works perfectly. If I call you this a bug in this version later 9 which was set at 10. Could also be had I simply uninstalled 9 and reinstalled which would have fixed it too. But I'll never know.

• How to solve the problem of VMWare Workstation 8 - unable to open/dev/vmmon

  Initially, I had this problem in March 2011 after installing VMWare Workstation 7 on a lab machine 5.7 RHEL and attempt to boot an image I know was good and should work. .  Someone else fixed the problem for me - I think they had to install a new/different libraries (vmmon.o and vmnet.o for vmware).  However, I find no information detailing what has been done to solve the problem.

  I see the same error on the same machine after upgrading to VMWare Workstation 7.0 for VMWare Workstation 8.0.

  1 here are the mistakes I see:

  a. "Could not open/dev/vmmon.

  b. "failed to initialize the surveillance apparatus.
  c. "cannot change the power state of VM: cannot find a valid peers to connect to.

  Also, when I run the stop etc/init.d/vmware, then run /etc/init.d/vmware start, I see that the State of "Virtual Machine Monitor" is DOWN.

  
  2 here is the information on VMWare Workstation:

  VMWare Workstation 8.0.1 build 528992

  3 here is the RHEL uname - information for the host:

  2.6.18 - 274.7.1.el5xen Linux #1 SMP xxx.xxx.xxx kills Oct 17 12:06:22 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  Release of RedHat Enterprise Linux Server 5.7 (Tikanga)

  The problem could be that the version of vmmon.o and vmnet.o that comes by default with vmware does not work with linux kernel version I have on my system.  I think I need to build a new vmmon.o and vmnet.o on my particular 5.7 RHEL.

  I found that to build a new version of vmmon.o you Executive vmware - config.pl.  I have not just on my machine, and I was not able to find on the internet.

  Here is the version of vmmon.o (for RHEL 5) that I have installed on my machine:
  /usr/lib/VMware/modules/binary/BLD-2.6.18-8.EL5-x86_64smp-RHEL5/objects/vmmon.o

  Here is the version of rhel5 I use:
  2.6.18 - 274.12.1.el5xen
  It is possible that the vmmon.o using bld - 2.6.18 - 8.el5 - x86_64smp-RHEL5 is not compatible with the kernel 2.6.18 - I 274.12.1.el5xen.

  Please help me find vmware - config.pl so I can build my own vmmon.o and vmnet.o

• Cannot install VMWare Workstation on Windows 7 64 bit

  I recently had to completely reinstall the operating system on a Dell Dimension 9200 with 4 GB of ram. There were originally 32-bit Vista installed by Dell. VMWare Workstation has worked well. I upgraded (in place) for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and VMWare continued to work. Recently I had to blow the OS and reinstall. I reinstalled with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and now I can not install VMWare Workstation Version 7.1.1. I also tried an older version with the same problem.

  I get the UAC prompt and then after some disk activity I get the Microsoft saying "VMWare Workstation has stopped working" giving options (found nothing) solution, close or debug dialog. I tried without UAC turned and no firewall with the same question.

  Any ideas on how I can find this?

  Pete

  Because I had to reinstall the OS, I went to 64-bit, because I have a few apps I need to write 64-bit to 64-bit (Server 2008 R2) that applications servers

  You can run 32-bit Wokstation.  Still, you can virtualize a VM 64 bit on 32-bit workstation.  So do your apps in the virtual machine.

• 6u2 ESXi host nested on VMware Workstation for Linux referee v12

  Hello all, I have

  I have a lab environment virtual running in VMware Workstation for Linux v12, and my ESXi hosts do not work correctly on one of the virtual networks. All my troubleshooting suggests a problem with nested ESXi hosts that may be a bug, but I want to assure you that I did everything properly first. That's why I post here with the hope that if I made a mistake that maybe someone else can point out he me.

  Physical system

  8 core Intel Xeon 2.1 GHz CPU

  128 GB of RAM

  OS - kernel Linux 64 - bit w/3.19.0-32-generic Linux Mint 17.3 (fully updated from this announcement)

  VMware Workstation 12 Pro - 12.1.1. Build-3770994 (fully updated from this announcement)

  Nested ESXi host VM

  ESXi v6.0.0 (Build 3825889, completely updated from this announcement)

  4 cards 'physical' (only 3 used for now)

  -all use the e1000 NIC hardware virtual, but also tried vmxnet3 NIC with no difference

  -vSwitch0 use vmnic0 & 1 vmnet16 of virtual network in a pair of active / standby

  -vSwitch1 uses vmnic2 on network virtual vmnet18

  -vmk0 used for management on vSwitch0 and vmk1 for iSCSI on vSwitch1

  -"Promiscuous" mode and forged passes enabled on all Port vSwitch groups (activating or turning off these features makes no difference)

  Test performed until now

  I checked that all the IP addresses and network masks used are correct.

  With the help of vmkping I ping other nodes on the network vmnet16 with success.

  With the help of vmkping I tried to ping the other nodes in the network vmnet18, but that has failed.

  I have depolyed other non - ESXi VMs on the vmnet18 network, and they are able to ping each other, but are unable to ping or ping by the ESXI host.

  I tried various material virtual NIC as mentioned before, but without changes in the results.

  I tried to use only local network instead of the vmnet18 guest network segments with no change in results.

  When I find out the status of the network adapters on the ESXi host through vCenter or host incorporated client vmnic0 & 1 time display network information, but vmnic2 shows no networks. Yet, I know that there is a network with different VM communicate on it. Moreover, I was able to get all of this work on a Windows system running 10 Workstation (this is the laptop that my employer gives me with).

  Having built nested ESXi labs on different platforms as well as physical environments in the past, I'm very confused as to why I can't get this special configuration to work. At this point my gut tells me that this is probably a bug any with the nested themselves ESXi hosts. Since I can get all this work on vmnet16 including the management of ESXi hosts and the VCSA that I use, I am sure that my vSwitch configuration is correct (other than the IP address space and vmnic configurations is bascially the same). Because I can get other virtual machines to communicate over the network vmnet18 I don't see how can be a VMware Workstation for the issue physical Linux host. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? I read on the ESXi hosts nested under VMware Workstation after having known problems and bugs with networking. If anyone else has experienced this?

  Thanks for any help others can provide!

  Kind regards

  Patrick

  Well, the problem is now resolved. The problem was what covelli was trying to explain, but I couldn't because the physical host network adapters being mentioned.

  The problem on the Linux host, but it was a problem of permissions with the virtual Ethernet adapters. The following article has the fix:
  With the help of Ethernet virtual cards in Promiscuous Mode on a Linux host (287) | VMware KB

  Even if I launched the workstation under the root user I have yet met this problem and which still makes no sense to me, but change the permissions solve the problem. I was not getting an error message on my Linux Mint and Ubuntu system, but when I tried on a second box of Linux Mint that I just got the error has been generated, and the error message was the above link it contains.

  So, here's what I learned:

  (1) the question has nothing to with a VMware Workstation definition that you can configure.

  (2) the question has nothing to do with a physical network card.
  (3) the question has nothing to do with any vmnic on the nested ESXi host.

  (4) apparently virtual Ethernet adapters are not the correct permissions when created.

  All you have to do to fix this is:

  (1) open a terminal.

  (2) run the command ' sudo chmod a + rw/dev/vmnet * "(don't forget to run this each time that you create a new virtual network).

  You can also create a group, as shown in the link above and simply give this group the correct permissions. Personally, I think it's easier to just give everyone the rw permission.

  I appreciate the help that others have offered. I did not understand what was asked for in previous answers because of the terms that have been used.

  You want to install VMware Workstation 11.1.1 on new 8.1 Windows Pro 64-bit PC.

  I had VMware Workstation 11.1.0, and deleted the original installer but did not finish the installation of the new version

  Race tried without firewall and AV, always not install question

  A ran the installer with / clean option and then tried again, but still he did not finish the installation process (crashes at the same place)

  Noticed in the Manager tasks that VMware Installer runs at about 14% of CPU, but nothing happens

  I'm really at a loss as to why I can't install VMware Workstation 11.1.1, all the other soft\ware settles very well.

  Please could someone help me?

  Thank you

• Installation of VMWare Workstation 11 freezes with gray screen!

  Hello

  I know this is a very known issue, but difficult to solve, I can't install VMWare Workstation V11 (tried with the old version 8, the same) since as soon as I click Setup, I have a gray screen and installation seems suspended it.

  Tried the same thing with VMWare Player, same result, even with older versions...

  No way to close the gray screen, unless you kill the process.

  My case is laptop Thinkpad T510, native W7 64-bit, processor Intel i5, 4 GB ram, Java utility installed and 100% updated, Nvidia GPU, nothing strange.

  Microsoft Security essential only running, no other AV or firewall...

  I tried to save two files reading autour on this community, but this does not solve the problem.

  I see not what is a well known problem and it is absurd does not have a way to solve it on VMWare...

  Any help is very appreciated!
