Can VMware Player run multiple instances of the same VM?

I looked around but could find an answer to this question. If it has already been answered, please feel free to point me to that answer. I am relatively new to VMware Player, so this may seem like a stupid question. Please bear with me.

I've been running Linux in a virtual machine using VMware Player 5.0.2 on Win7 and I would like to start another instance of the same virtual machine, simultaneously. When I try to launch the image once again, VMware asks if I want to take possession of the virtual machine running, but does not give the opportunity to start another instance.

Is it because it is not possible to run two instances of the same VM, or y at - it another way to get there?

Welcome to the community,

This can be done. If another instance would be allowed to use the same file system, the guest operating system would be very likely corrupt the file system. What is possible - at least with VMware Workstation - is to create clones related, where the Basic virtual disk is the same (open in read-only mode), but writes go to independent virtual disk files.

  • Firefox does not work for multiple instances of the SAME user account on Windows Multipoint Server 2011

    We have a PC HP of MulitSeat MS6200
    It runs Microsoft Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 (which seems to be a twisted version of Windows 7)
    It is implemented in a laboratory of computer science and students connect you using their account for shared room - IE multiple instances of the same user accounts are currently running on the PC at the same time.
    The first student to run Firefox can work with it without a problem.
    However, when another student try to start firefox they get the following message:
    Firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

    Cannot start Firefox using a profile that is already used by someone else.
    Each Firefox instance needs its own profile or you will get this error message.

  • Can't swap multiple instances of the same symbol

    Hey!

    So, I can select a symbol and exchange with one another, but why can't I just Exchange several instances of the same symbol?

    A useless limitation don't y ' All think?

    -Dwayne

    If you're talking about the replacement of one symbol by another of the library, which is limited to one symbol at a time.  But you can extend this functionality using JSFL.  Here is a link to a tool that might work for you...

    http://spiralstormgames.com/blog/code-snippets/quick-Flash-extension-swap-multiple-element s-at-once.

    If you have a thousand things to change, you can review your design uses a dynamic approach, except the investment items must be managed manually defined specific locations.   In this way, you can simply change the link between the symbol and the programming will take care of the rest.

  • Open/run multiple windows of the same VI

    Hello!

    In my current project, I would like to create a user open multiple windows of the same VI.  I made a re-entry VI:

    This is, actually, a very simple VI which has just a digital control, a loop and a stop button.  Then I have a VI that calls the VI re-entrant.  I would like it so that whenever the user presses the button "Call home VI", a new window of this VI is created and run.

    The first time the button is pressed, the reentrant VI opens and works very well. The title of the VI in the title bar is "Re - Entrant.vi:1 (clone)" (as expected).  When I try to launch another instance I get this error:

    I'm in LabVIEW 2009.

    Thanks for your time.

    I think you can do this with a static reference of VI, because it always points to the same instance of the VI (returning).

    You must open a new instance using Reference of VI open with option 0 x 08 (prepare environment run).

    Hope this helps,

  • Use of multiple instances of the same browser...

    Hi people,

    I have a question...
    I inherited a large APEX application, it uses Oracle SSO to log.

    We are migrating the application to a new set of servers and run regression tests.
    Testers are connecting using IE6 and multiple instances of the application both on the oldTest newTest servers and opening.

    If at some point, you can:
    an application Admin user (username ADMINTEST123)  logged into the application on oldTest
    an application Admin user (username ADMINTEST123)  logged into the application on newTest
    
    an application standard user (username TEST123)  logged into the application on oldTest
    an application standard user (username TEST123)  logged into the application on newTest
    Is this supported?

    Could someone tell me or direct me to the documentation or the thread that lists which is supported / unsupported for use of browser with APEX and SSO?

    Thanks in advance,
    Gus...

    So this can I conclude that what you say and the above results we could get questions if connection users and open new windows in this sense?

    Yes, if users connect or not, if requests for pages using the same session of apex are issued different browser instances, the results may be undesirable.

  • Flash Player playing multiple tones at the same time... even when the browser is closed

    I recently updated my Flash drive to 11.3 (latest version). When I go to a site that uses Flash (YouTube, for example), I'll start the video and then 10 seconds later, I get multiple tones at the same time. They all look like advertising, or TV stations. Even when I close my browser, the sound continues. When I opened my sound mixer, it is a "program" listed in "winrscmde", who plays both audio channels. When I go to the Task Manager, "winrscmde" presents itself as a svchost.exe * 32. When I stop this service the sound stops. It will resume again when I access a flash site. When I uninstall Flash Player 11.3, it stops.

    I am running Windows 7-64 bit with latest updates. THAT IS TO SAY 9.0.8112.16421

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Well, I think I solved the problem.

    I found this topic:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic442928.html

    On the second post down, the poster recommended download killer TDS winrscmde.exe is disquised as svchhost.exe in the \windows\system32 folder (you click on 'Properties', then the 'Détails' tab and check the original file name... If it is false, it will say winrscmde.exe under the original name).

    I also ran the program aswMBR as well as FixTDSS (http://www.symantec.com/content/en/us/global/removal_tool/threat_writeups/FixTDSS.exe).

    That seems to fix the problem. Just reinstalled Flash and do not get the same questions. The svchost.exe in the \windows\system32 folder is legitimate!

    Hope this helps someone else with the same problem.

  • How to prevent a user from opening multiple instances on the same computer?

    On site oldnavyweekly.com , there is a .swf which prevents users to open multiple instances of the site at the same time on the same computer. If you open the site and try to open it again in another window, it will not load. Cannot open the site again until the first window is closed. How did they implement this?

    My analysis, that is NOT:
    1. cookies - the block always takes place if you try to open it in Internet Explorer and also try to open it in Firefox at the same time.
    2 flash Cookies - the block always takes place if I disable flash cookies.
    3 IP Based Block - you are not blocked if you open the site on two separate computers with the same outgoing IP address. From my analysis, their server does not help in the block at all.

    It seems as if their .swf creates a sort of object throughout the global system which can be detected in other instances of the application on the same computer. How did they implement this?

    Thank you!

  • What is the best way to run multiple instances of the class containing infinite while loop?

    Hello

    I have a several instances of the class (say a, b, c,...) that have the same parent and I want to run the same methods overridden to all instances in parallel.

    For example:

    a.init ()-> a.run ()-> a.stop ()-> a.run ()-> a.stop ()->

    b.init ()-> b.run ()-> b.stop ()->->->

    c.init() ->           ->             -> c.run() ->               -> c.stop()

    ...

    See the attachment for more details.

    The problems are now:

    1. the 'run' - method does not return until it receives the external trigger

    2. everything to run methods return in a different time

    1 chip means I can't use autoindexed for loop because in this case b.run () will have to wait before the end of a.run (), right? Is it possible to run to the loop in parallel?

    2 chip means that an object must be able to run and stop independently from others.

    What is the most elegant solution? The solution copy - paste in the attachment works for 3 instances, but there are currently 10 and more is coming.

    Juha

    In fact, what I wanted to know was "how to add the 'P' loop '... Easy, after you ask the right question.

    In the attachment, there is a test.vi that has two numerical indicators in a certain time-infinite loops. If I leave the parallelism, the two digital are incremented infinitely. If I don't allow parallelism, only the first is incremented (he never leaves the infinite while loop).

    To solve my original problem, I can make an init-start-stop branch within a loop-parallel-indexing for and make sure that there are the same number of instances of loop as there are objects in my array of objects (object array is an autoindexed in the loop for).

    Also good point about the vis environment. I should also add that.

  • multiple instances of the same Subvi in the public Service

    Hiall,

    I found the interesting feature that I can't diplay panels before subVIs in sub-panels in front of my main VI and so far, it works fine:

    Here, I have 4 screws tracing data and all their facades displayed on the main VI. They are called by some intermediary VI which in turn is called from the main VI.

    now, since these parcel 4 screws are the same, I'm looking for something like this:

    How can I get the 4 instance references? the ref 'this VI' is the same for the 4 cases, I checked. I put it on preallouee environment.

    Thank you much for the help!

    If you share your code, it would be much easier to show you. I think you should use the function Open Ref VI with a shred of option 0x08 to run environment. Open 4 different refs and you should have 4 different memory spaces.

    You will have to pass these references in your intermediate VI and the call by reference to run with the right input.

  • Unique VO shared by multiple instances of the same taskflow

    Hello Experts,

    Need your expert opinion to this problem. I have a VO that is used to display the details of the master-child table on page jsff (say it as a Page of country-state).

    The user comes to the jsff by taskflow launch page, passing a search results table (say it as countries search result). I have provided hypertext links in the table of countries so the user can click on the name of country and go to the country-state page.

    Occurs when the user clicks on the links from different countries and thus to open several pages of country-state jsff. In this case, all the pages pointing to the same country-state record.

    Example; Search country table has three rows - India, China, Japan. User clicked on the India, China and Japan of the Web links provided in the table. He opened 3 pages of the table of State of the country. But all these pages show details of the Japan as he was finally activated.

    I'm new to ADF and it's the first assignment . I learned and put in place through blogs on the internet but stuck here now.

    Appreciate any help.

    PS - I've seen a few articles mentioning to create multiple instances of VO, but my problem is that I don't know how many instances of create. Because it depends on how many times users click on hyperlink and launch taskflow.

    Kind regards

    Newbie

    This is not a property of the vo but the workflow. Please watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHfilCAVzTs video that shows the concept.

  • Multiple instances of the same symbol of edition

    Hi, was looking for a solution to this for a while, did not a straight answer yet. So I hope you guys can help.

    For a game of Hangman-esque I have a flash document (with CS5, but that probably doesn't matter) who has (or will have rather) a library of 26 clips that will contain a letter of the alphabet every.

    They will be inside their own dynamic text box, so I am able to change the font, background color etc at will.

    But it is even possible to edit multiple instances of a clip on the stage at the same time, without being too complex?

    In other words can I put several A, B, C etc. on the stage and get all change at the same time if someone guesses a letter?

    I know you can change instances unique of a clip, but for that you must give a name to each instance and I don't know how many of each letter I would be put on the stage, let alone how I could easily access.

    It could perhaps through classes or something? I've not really covered before if.

    Feel free to ask for more details... I admit that some I have things I write can be a little vague...

    Yes, a table that contains references to all the clips that are related functionally and when you manipulate them - loop in table and change all what you need to change on the table instances.

  • dynamically generate multiple instances of the same subform

    I have the field box where the user can select up to 10 accounts.  For each account, I need to have a certain display subform.  So if the user selects 5 accounts need 5 occurrences of the same subform.

    Is it possible by programming?  Or do I have to have 10 subforms and just hide/show what I need?  I prefer the former, if can be done.

    Please advise,

    Thank you

    Elaine

    Of course, it is not too hard once you know what you're doing.  First of all, make sure that all subforms of 'parent' of your subform are defined to be "Flowed" in the object tab, and that your subform is set to "repeat subform for each data element" in the binding tab.  For example, your user enters the number of accounts they have in a numeric field or text (we'll call it Number_of_Accounts).  At this point, you might have the form to generate the number of instances of the subform you want when the user leaves this area, or you could have a button that says something like "generate accounts."  Whatever it is, your script will be something like this:

    _Accounts_Subform.Count = Number_of_Accounts.rawValue;

    This will generate the number of instances of the requested subform.  A warning-if the person changes the value of Number_of_Accounts after they put a (i.e. in a first step, they said 5 but then it changed to 3), the instances at the end to go (so in our example the 4th and 5th instances would be deleted).  I suggest putting a warning in the same place, you put the script above, so it will look like

    If (_Accounts_Subform.count > Number_of_Accounts.rawValue) {}

    If (xfa.host.messageBox ("attention! You are about to permanently delete all accounts after the number"+ Number_of_Accounts.rawValue +".. "  Are you sure you want to continue? ', ' danger! "(, 3, 2) (= 4) {}".

    _Accounts_Subform.Count = Number_of_Accounts.rawValue;

    }

    else {}

    Number_of_Accounts.RawValue = _Accounts_Subform.count

    }
    }

    else {}

    _Accounts_Subform.Count = Number_of_Accounts.rawValue;

    }

    In addition, I suggest putting a delete button with each instance of the subform, so they can remove a case at a time and specifically (i.e. delete the first instance without deleting all subsequent instances).  A start-up caution-make sure that your "addresses" are correct (in this case Accounts_Subform and Number_of_Accounts).  If you are not sure if an address is correct, select the object on which you are scripting, go in the script editor, hold down Ctrl, and click in Design view, on the object you are trying to reference.  I'm sorry if this is not clear, but I can't imagine a better way to explain this right now.

  • Multiple instances of the same audio clip increase the size of the file?

    By example, if the same audio clip is placed on layers separated five as opposed to one (5 v 1)?

    Does not Flash "dedupe"?

    No, they do not increase the size of file significantly.  That is to say, the assistance of 100 cases of a noise could increase the file size of 1 KB on a single instance because noise of no added 100 times at the end of file, just the necessary info to indicate where it should play in the timeline or in your actionscript code.

    Hi Gerry. There is an option to remove the old date within the FMS. Vizioncore gave me a doc that explains it.
    in the left menu, go to foglight-> servers-> data-> vmware model management
    Here, you can select the vc to remove... but be careful with what you remove! Make sure that the right vc :-)
    If you led the whole tree and restart the service of Fogle, it should disappear... give fms a few minutes to delete (depends on the size of the data) before restarting the service... cheers, patrik
