Cannot copy file to virtual machine host computer

People,

Hello. I use VM Player 3. My host computer is Windows 7 and VM is Oracle Linux 5. I used to copy files from the virtual machine host successfully machine. But now, when I copy a virtual machine host machine zip file, the error message appears:

"Unable to write file in Virtual Machine.Aborting the copy file operation."

The virtual machine's memory is 2 GB, and the file is about 900 MB. I think that there is enough memory to hold the file.

My question is:

Any folk can help solve the question above?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

To be able to copy this file in your virtual machine, you need about 2 GB of free space on the disk in the virtual machine on the disk that has the temp folder.

The size of the RAM to the virtual machine is not really important.

  • Disable copying files between virtual machines

    When I go to several virtual desktops using VMware View 4, I am able to copy files between virtual machines. Virtual machines are located in various isolated networks. It is a security problem in my organization and how do I disable this feature? I am not able to find any related configuration in sight connection to the server. Thank you!

    I assume you are using RDP as the Protocol currently, correct?

    In this case, you will need to implement some GPO:s in the workstations to avoid copy and paste.

    Look in the 'Extras' folder on the view connection server, there are a number of ADM files that you can implement to restrict all sorts of things.

  • Possible for the host to read the files on virtual machines?

    Is it possible for a host read files on virtual machines?

    If you can get information using vmrun command, then I think that vmware-cmd command will help to define the variables that can think inside the vmx file. As vmx file is inside ESX server only so that you can shut down the VM and edit the vmx file, then you can register to the virtual machine using the vmware-cmd command.

    Thank you

  • Copy of ESX virtual machine to Workstation

    I managed a number of virtual machines hosted in a datacenter on ESX 4.  I had a request from a colleague to get a copy of a virtual computer so that it can work with it using VMware Workstation.  It is my understanding that simply copying the virtual machine are not working files of the ESX host to a laptop.  I was under the impression that the virtual machine should be converted using VMware Converter.  I also had the impression that there may be problems associated with the different chipsets: ESX host uses a chipset, while my colleague's cell phone uses a different chipset.

    Can anyone confirm or deny the above?  Are there other issues that we should be aware of when you copy a virtual machine from one ESX host to a laptop (Windows XP I think)?

    See you soon,.

    Paul

    Here are a few methods described.  For me, the converter is the best option because he can take care of any change in format which may arise between the VM ESX and VMware Workstation VM.

  • You cannot power on a virtual machine in a virtual machine

    Hello

    Only, I converted a physical blade to a virtual machine running on ESX4 using VMware converter 4. The converted virtual computer is running VMware server 1.0.5 and machines virtual option 2. After the P2V process, I am unable to power on virtual machines in VMware server. I get the following message:

    You cannot power on a virtual machine in a virtual machine

    I see there are some entries that I can put in the vmx file

    monitor_control.vt32 = 'TRUE '.

    monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = 'TRUE '.

    However, this does not solve my problem. Is it possible to edit a VMX VMware Server so the virtual prompt runs in a virtual machine of ESX4

    Thanks in advance

    VMware Server 1.x does not support nested virtual machines.  Workstation 7 is the first product with the official support of virtualization nested, although other recent VMware products should work, with some constraints.  See nested running VMs.

    I am upgrading of Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) for Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit) - but getting stopped everytime I try, I end up with a dialog box stating: "Windows cannot copy files required for installation.

    What should I do to resolve this problem and allow full of Windows 7 installation? (my computer is a Compaq Presario V6000).

    Hello

    What installation media you are using?

    Method 1:

    Error 0 x 80070017 translates "CRC error" which means that the files that are copied from the disc are not making it to the hard drive with the same structure, which means that the 'original' the disk files are modified/changed/corrupted while being copied to the location of the 'destination' on your disk during Setup.

    This usually means a bad DVD, or an error reading on the DVD player.

  • Commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player

    Where can I find the commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player on a host Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)?

    I need to start and stop the virtual computer from a script as I could do this by selecting the ' power on ' and his 'guest stop' or at least 'power off' options of the GUI of VMware player.

    If a control interface is not available, is available if I update to VMware Workstation?

    With the player, the VIX API is a separate download (on the same page you downloaded the install drive in), so I guess you will have to install the separate package to use it.  But it's pretty easy to do...

    Simplest is to clone virtual machines, but this feature is not available in free ESXi, you have vCenter.

    So I guess the only way is to use FastSCP (free tool), download power power VM off to your office and new different directory. Then right click on .vmx datastore browser and "add to the inventory.

  • where on my Mac "file" a virtual machine?

    I'm new to VM Fusion. Used to extract the partition Boot Camp on my old MacBook, and I copied the whole file (almost 5 concerts) to my MacBook Air.

    So now this file called "Boot Camp partition" is sitting on my desk.

    (1) where I can drop it so this VM Fusion can find when I start the program? In the Documents folder? In some folder that VM Ware sets up for such things? Simple question, but I have no idea...

    (2) can I rename it to something more descriptive, since it is a copy of the virtual machine to reside on my Boot Camp partition?

    Other than these issues, it seems to work perfectly.

    Thanks for the help,

    David

    The default location for the virtual machine based on a normal file is "$The specified element was not found./Documents/Virtual Machines" but you can put where you want that you have proper access to the.

    You can rename directly from the Virtual Machine library window.
