• How can I stop the VMWare Workstation reset "enable sharing"?

  Whenever I have turn on sharing in the preferences, whenever I restart my host, VMWare Workstation computer resets this return to the 'people with disabilities sharing' so then my virtual machines that are supposed to start automatically, never start.

  This is a very serious flaw of VMWare Workstation. How should I report this?

  -Eric

  I'm not a regular user of Windows. so, it's memory... Try to go to control panel and find Services.  The list of services should include the service Server of VMware Workstation .  Check that the service is not configured to be disabled... IIRC, it will have to be set to start automatically.

  See you soon,.

• VMware Workstation failed to mount the physical disk 10TB

  VMware workstation or any other product vmware does support more than 2 TB of physical disks?

  I am trying to connect a 5 of 10 TB raid enclosure and mount it on my ubuntu vmware workstation machine. The common error that I receive is when mounting the reader on ubuntu and I think it might have something to do with the size of the file.

  The official version said that WS allows only virtual up to 8 TB of disk.

  According to my own tests, it only limits the size of the VMDK for 'New - VM' Assistant.
  Once you have a greater vmdk - just tried a vmdk 10TB - WS won't complain about the size.
  I don't expect that WS will prevent the physical disks to use inside a virtual machine that is already configured.
  So in your case I think you started WS with a normal user account.
  Try to start as administrator WS - maybe even using the administrator account.
  I think that then it will work.
  Unfortunately, the error messages produced by vmware.exe are not really accurate-, so there is no way to know if you really have a bad super block.
  To test if this is really the problem and not just an error message - poor try to mount the drive directly.
  Please post the vmdk - want to know if there is something unusual about 5.5 TB in the disk.

• Error: "VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full."

  I get this error message:

  VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full. To continue, free 1.3 GB of additional disk space.

  I read up on the subject and found that I have to re size a partition. Anyone know what it could be? I can't find anything that looks like it has something to do with VMware. Does anyone know what size and what file system is it?

  My OS:
  Tumbleweed OpenSUSE x 64

  Thanks in advance

  On more creative, my home and root file systems were not extended to my full disk space :^)

• External client access VMware Workstation shared 11 VM?

  Hello world

  I have a small problem that we have a VMware workstation installed on my PC to 10 windows and I would allow a few colleagues access to the virtual machines shared on this topic.

  I enabled the shared virtual machine settings, and I can confirm that I can connect from another post on my local network.

  However, I can't seem to connect to the shared virtual machines from outside my network. I DynDNS and handed over port 443 to the Windows box with installed Workstation (192.168.2.10).

  I even tried changing ports internally using the shared virtual machine parameters.

  Also tried, is to have a different external port one internally (7000 ext sent to 443)

  Adding to this I tried the IP of my router (to rule out DDNS) - in regard to this, I can connect directly to the virtual machine via DDNS passed to image.

  The Windows Firewall is disabled on the host of the workstation.

  Then... Please this is; Is this really possible? Before that I continue to invest in any time in it.

  And... I tried to get that I promise you!

  Kudos to everyone for any help

  Hi SpoonRacer,

  Welcome to the community of workstation! Of course, this scenario is possible. Sharing of the VM has no difference with other standard network on the IP layer services.

  I think that General measures to be implemented are:

  1. Get the accessible external IP address of your private network
  2. Map the TCP 443 port to the external IP address on port TCP 443 of the Windows box workstation running by the DNAT
  3. Allow inbound network traffic on port TCP 443 on Windows machine running Workstation
  4. (Optional) Configure DynDNS point your domain name to the external IP address of your private network

  For example:

  1. Get the external IP address: 216.58.216.164
  2. Map 216.58.216.164:443 to 192.168.2.10:443 by the DNAT
  3. Open the TCP 443 port on host 192.168.2.10 (now you should be able to access your shared virtual machines using 216.58.216.164 for outside networks)
  4. (Optional) Configure ws.spoonracerdomain.org resolves to 216.58.216.164 (now, you should be able to access your shared virtual machines using ws.spoonracerdomain.org for outside networks)

  However, these steps are not very easy to implement due to some possible limitations of your private network:

  • If your private network is at home, the external IP address and it is very accessible from outside of the network depends on your ISP (internet service provider). I know, some ISP does not allow the public IP address used by individual users accessible via the public network. Some ISPS even not you assigned a public IP, other users and you share a single public IP, in this case, you would not be able to apply step 2.
  • If your private network is to your business, and you're not network administrator for your company, you would not be able to apply step 2.

  Anyway, you can try to open a Web site on the Windows machine running Workstation to the outside network. If successful, then the service share of VM can be done the same way (just change the port 80 of the site to 443 folder).

  Kind regards

• Problem with VMWare Workstation combo, .vhd virtual drives and physical disks in the sector of size 4K?

  All,

  I suspect something wrong with some of my virtual machines.  I have been using these virtual machines for a while, and I see some weird behaviour recently.

  I see a lot of corruption in the virtual hard disk (.vhd based).  CHKDSK automatically gets performed many large files such as Oracle datafiles get damaged etc...  It all seems quite random and inconsistent, but I am using .vhd virtual machines in VMWare Workstation for years without problem.  This problem is new, and hard drives are basically unstable.

  I * think * (and I'm totally off base) that is perhaps the issue with my new external hard drives.  These discs have a 4 KB sector size, without e512.  Thanks to this architecture of hard drive, don't mount not the tools of Microsoft or manupulate .vhd files on these disks.  The questions seem to go away if I switch to vmdk or switch to the physical hard disk size-one-sector 512kb.  Because errors are not compliant, that I don't really have a way to document/prove that is the case, but it seems to be.

  I use version 9.0.0 on Windows 7 Workstation, and the guest is Windows Server 2008R2.

  My question is:

  (1) what meaning?

  (2) how I prove/document, since it is a contradiction?

  (3) is this a known problem?

  (Btw, switching HDD's vmdk is not an option in our case due to an obscure legal agreement with Microsoft.  I have to distribute my VMs in vhd format, even if they are designed to run on VMWare...)

  -> Adam

  These discs have a 4 KB sector size, without e512.

  (I've highlighted "without e512" in "BOLD" to key in my answer to the host operating system.)

  -L'OS is Windows 7 Enterprise

  According to the political support for the 4 K sector hard drives in Windows, Windows 7 does not support the native 4 K (logical 4 k sector size) but it does not support Advanced Format or 512th (size of logical sector physical and 512 bytes of 4 K) and that is can be the question.

• Problema al add UN nodo adicional al Cluster Windows Server 2012 con VMware Workstation 9 en

  Hola Buenas,

  Ante todo decir este are a Québec fallo he revisado y las responses in different los don't post han well para help me, good os.

  El caso are that I have 2 servers DELL PowerEdge R420 fisicos identicos, cada uno con ellos 3 VMs sober instaladas VMware Workstation 9. The first virtual machine are an image of Kerio control, a second virtual machine to Windows Server 2012 con dominio Controladora, is the third VM con WS2012're donde quiero crear el cluster con dominio usuario. ESTOS servidores knew vez esta una cabina data via iSCSI connected.

  Add tambien when performed the tests of validation led Cluster, todo lo tengo OK. El caso are so creo el cluster con el Nodo 1 y 2 Nodo (sugar Québec cada uno fisica Máquina distinta ellos y bajo mismo Dominio) me error UN da has the el crear hora cluster. In cambio, if creo el Cluster con este nodos if any to crea, pero el fallo viene a hora of connect UN nodo adicional (ya sea o 1 Nodo Nodo 2). Este fallo viene cuando el nodo TR checks are completely funcional in el Cluster, is is "pensando" y da fallo por tiempo sold.

  He revisado problemas similar y he visto that el antivirus can be una causa e caso no lo're are only aun no he wont any AV... There comprobado red devices (utilizamos 4, 2 iSCSI, 1 red LAN y otra heart rate), he desactivado los red el protocolo IPv6 devices, he probado connect los nodos con el Kerio Offline, el desactivado firewall of Windows, exportar components del registro TCPIP6, capture las conexiones iSCSI...

  El cluster is as en Máquinas Office instalacion del WS2012 y is ha hecho manera person, no mediante VMWare del injerto.

  Una nueva prueba as hoy he ha hecho sido realize el cluster 2 maquinas office in una misma Máquina física y to ha s con exito, pero cuando intento realize el 2 nodos cluster (2 machines virtual cada una fisica diferente Máquinas) cuando me da el error. Esto deduzco raiz Quebec are a VMware o red, no lo o problema se, he probado use tan solo 1 switch (infrastructure utilizaria 2), changing IPs, pero igual sigo as can be? contacts? Alguna especifica VMware config?

  El caso're llevo several days ago that don't con este problema y no se a what can deber, agradeceria muchisimo the the comunidad ayuda.

  MUCHAS Gracias

  Buenas

  Between 2 workstation are posible realize ese tipo configs of forma limpia.

  El problema're (sniffer lo of UN pones veras TR), Los nodos assume ip-spoofing y arp spoofing cuando salen por tarjeta of Red led host.

  Para hacer eso as pides, deberias workstation pasar an esxi.

• Is it possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine?

  Hello

  I was wondering if it is possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine? In the affirmative, please could someone advise me on how to do it. Also utility management and disk transfer can be used in virtual machines to do this?

  Thank you very much

  Tim Auluck

  I'm not sure what exactly you are asking. Can you please clarify!

  Basically you can resize a virtual drive or add a second virtual disk to a virtual machine and transfer/copy files. You can also resize the virtual disk using VMware Converter for example.

• VmWare Workstation 7.1 - Unable to P2V and seems does not support disk Acronis image images

  Hello.

  I'm trying to convert my computer into virtual machine using the Conversion Wizard in the VMware Workstation 7.1.

  My hardware is: Intel Core i7-920/6 GB of RAM/2x0.5Tb HDD/ATI HD4800. OS = Windows 7 x 64 Ultimate.

  I need to convert only 1 partition on disk 1 which has the OS and all S/W installed. The partition size is 150 GB allocated space = 72G, before the conversion has been defragmented and check-disked (chkdsk/f).

  The location of the target is a 'new virtual machine', located on a huge USB - HDD (K:\VM\vmWsXxx-WI7\), of course - I have access to all drives and places, and of course - there is enough free space on the target disk.

  The problems:

  (1) when I am trying to convert all the timeI'm getting the"failed to take.
  Instant error message of the volume of the source. In a log file I also see this message - "Vsnap didn't"

  admin rights.

  Purpose (!) I am connected with a user who belongs to a local "Administrators" group. And 'VMware Agent Service' service is running on the same user account. So, I guess - it must be enough to make Vsnap has all the permissions it needs! :-\

  (2) I also tried another way of P2V - I created a disk image of my partition with an Acronis True Image Home 2010 and tried to put this file to disk image as the source for the conversion of VmWare Wizard. But he reportedthe error - 'file may be corrupt or format not supported ". Makes me think that there might some bugs - in Acronis image that makes the supporting incompatible disk images or VmWar!

  My question is - HOW to with SUCCESS CONVERT MY COMPUTER to VM using a VmWare Workstation 7.1 or any other tool?

  Sub question is - why declare VmWare disk support Acronis image images but does not in a real?

  Or (if it supports their) there may be an incorrect error message - "file may be corrupt or format not supported". Maybe he should point out something else.

  What I tried:

  ensured all need services began a) this:

  net start

  UFAD-ws60

  net start "tcp/ip netbios support.

  net start swprv

  net start vss

  (b) I run shell commands - "writers vssadmin list,"vssadmin list shadows"- the two commands work fin, so assume VSS working properly."

  (c) have tried to run this long shell script

  CD %systemroot%\system32

  net stop vss

  net stop swprv

  regsvr32 ole32.dll

  regsvr32 vss_ps.dll

  vssvc /Register

  regsvr32 /i swprv.dll

  regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll

  regsvr32 es.dll

  regsvr32 stdprov.dll

  regsvr32 vssui.dll

  regsvr32 msxml.dll

  regsvr32 msxml3.dll

  regsvr32 msxml4.dll

  BTW, I got a lot of error messages about this script:

  • The module "swprv.dll" was loaded but the call to DIIRegisterServer failed with the error code 0 x 80070715.

• The module "eventcls.dll" was loaded but the call to DIIRegisterServer failed with the error code 0 x 80070715.

• The "es.dll" module has been loaded but the DIIRegisterServer entry point was not found.

• Make sure 'es.dll' is a valid DLL or OCX file and try again.

• The "vssui.dll" failed to load module.

• The "msxml.dll" failed to load module.

• The "msxml4.dll" failed to load module.

MSXML.dll, msxml4.dll and vssui.dll it is not a surprise because these dll does not exist on Win7 x 64 in the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory.

I found msxml4.dll in SysWow64 - registered. But msxml.dll and vssui.dll are really do not exist on Win7 x 64. Then, for sure - this script itself is the problem!

What other options I do P2V conversion?

Are there configuration problems more can I fix it to make the work of P2V conversion?

Kind regards

Dmitry.

PS please see logs 2 closed - system directly, 2nd - diary of the conversion attempt using Acronis True Image Home 2010 disk image works 1 journal of P2V conversion attempt.

using regedit is possible

You obviously did not read

Select HKLM, then Menu > file > load hive.

• VMware Workstation is unable to open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum file size supported by the host file system.

  I'm transitioning from Windows XP (64-bit) on a new computer with Windows 7 installed.  I undertook to VMWare Workstation 6 7.0.1 in the process.  The problem is with a very large RAID 5 volume on the new system.  It's a score of 5.45 TB (TPG and NTFS).

  When I try to start a virtual machine on this volume, I get the message "VMware Workstation cannot open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum size of the files supported by the host file system.".  This is obviously not true.  If I copy the virtual machine to another drive on the system, it starts without a problem.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to work around this problem?

  try to add this line in the vmx file:

  diskLib.sparseMaxFileSizeCheck = "false".

  Maybe it helps.

  VMDK-type do you use?

  monolithicSparse? -C' is the only part type more?

• Can I access physical disks inside VMware Workstation?

  Hey there,

  I'm curious to know if it is possible to access the physical hard drives within a real operating system.  Lets say I am running Windows XP inside VMware workstation and I have an additional physical hard drive installed in my computer (we'll call it E drive in the operating system of the host that is Windows Vista).

  I want to access drive E in the virtual Windows XP for storage space.  Is it possible to do?

  Now suppose another scenerio,

  I have drive G in my host OS and it contains all sorts of delicious data I want to see the inside of my virtual Windows XP and maybe even add some other delicious from within the virutal OS files.  Is this also possible?

  Thanks in advance, I did a lot of research and could not find anything regarding these issues.

  The answer is Yes.  Under the parameters of the virtual machine, you can add, and then select the physical disk, and choose the drive to mount.  It's good if you have a physical drive side that does not use the computer itself.

  Now if you want to just copy or move files 1-2 here and there in your physical machine to the virtual, you can still drag and drop between two desktop computers.  Another great way to transfer files is to do it via network shares.  I wouldn't ride the host o/s of hard disk to the virtual machine to a few files and then just pull...

• Stuck ImageAssist - VMWare Workstation 12

  Hello world

  I'm having a problem where ImageAssist is blocked indefinitely at a point whenever I run it. I try to capture a Windows OEM 10 image created using VMWare Workstation 12. This post describes the exact steps I took:

  

  ImageAssist crashes and then to 32 of the stages of this process, as shown in the screenshot below:

  

  I actually left ImageAssist running overnight, and it never progressed beyond that point. The virtual hard disk is certainly big enough (60 GB) and I had no problems with the image at all. I even started from scratch and re-created the entire image to test again and ImageAssist still crashes at this exact point.

  Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  Windows 10 does a lot of things during a "Windows Update". Running it in a virtual machine is a good idea as not getting driver updates. There are a few more things that occur that cause problems. The reason ImageAssist fails generally after an update is because the system can no longer be Sysprep. To check that you can browse manually to sysprep. C:\windows\System32\sysprep and run the executable. If sysprep fails, the AI tool will also fail. The biggest culprit is when the OS is upgraded. Windows 10 will upgrade to the latest version which won't allow sysprep run. Microsoft tells us that "Redstone" will not have this problem. You should also know that the 'Crush Saga of Candy' and 'Twitter' can install, causing sysprep to no longer work. I hope this helps... TK

• using the VMware workstation 100% disc

  Hi all

  I have amd multi-purpose 8350 with 12 GB of ram and 1 TB hard drive (no ssd). I created a few 10 vms and when I try to start few of them suddenly disk use increases to 100%. I turn them all at the same time, I give some time between each vm poweron. Always the same problem occurs. In addition, even after some time, after activating my vms, same problem occurs. on my windows host computer, the use of the disc is 100% most of the time. because of this my vmware workstation crashes and I am not able to do anything. I have to wait until the use of the disc is free again. I disabled windows search on my host machine, but no luck.

  I added the lines on all my machines virtual vmx files but no use.

  
  

  MemTrimRate = '0 '.

  mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

  prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.

  
  

  Can someone help me out here?

  
  

  Thank you

  Chaitanya.
  

  Hi Shawn,

  Thank you for your response...

  At start-up, if it's slow, it's fine. But it happens all of a sudden, even when I'm working. When it freezes, I can't do anything. Just count numbers to kill some time... I have to wait until he's back to normal and I donno when it happens.

  While I was looking on the internet, someone posted on an Internet site that disabling superfetch-bit, and windows update services can reduce disk performance. I'm 100% sure they are stopped on my windows host computer. So, I disabled the. But I was really surprised to see the performance of disk after I disabled the services. Now, I have a lag for a few seconds and that occurs only when I start the vms system. After that they are running no problem at all. I donno why a stopped service would cause such an impact. Subsequently, if I do not have a service, I turn it off, turn it off.

  Finally, after you turn off the 3 services, I have no problem.

  Thank you

  Chaitanya.

• Host Windows system restore back up virtual machines the VMWare Workstation?

  Is it save to perform a restore of the system on a Windows host running VMWare Workstation 9.0.2 with the premises of virtual machines? I just need confirmation that the VMs will be still functional after restoring the system.

  Welcome to the community,

  System Restore should not touch all personal documents, what configuration file and virtual disk are in reality. However, a restoration of the system can change the parameters of the application Windows for for example VMware Workstation. Anyway most that should happen is that you have to reinstall VMware Workstation in such a case.

  see "what files changed during a system restore?" at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/system-restore-faq

  In any case, it is always useful to have a current backup!
