• How to download and use my Win 7 Pro prior in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  before 3 years, I bought a win 7 pro PC - recently, I fee install 8.1... How to download and use my prior Win 7 Pro in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  Unfortunately, you must have prepared a recovery disk in advance or use the one provided with your computer.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

• no connectivity between the virtual machines on the guest only network

  I have trouble getting the network connectivity between two Windows 7 computers using a guest only network virtual in VMware Player.  Each virtual machine is able to get a (unique) IP address via dhcp and can ping itself and the bridge, but could not reach the other system.  I looked on my host computer adapter VMnet1 in Wireshark and saw incoming icmp packets in, but nothing is returned new.  My vmnetdhcp.conf file is unchanged with the exception to add a line to set the default gateway on my guests.  It was an attempt to solve this problem, and the same behavior was observed before changing anything.  Here are the details for this network segment:

  subnet 192.168.184.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {}
  range 192.168.184.128 192.168.184.254;            # by default allows up to 125 VM
  option broadcast-address 192.168.184.255;
  option domain-name-servers 192.168.184.1.
  option domain-name "localdomain".
  routers option 192.168.184.1;  # This is the line, I added
  by default-lease-time 1800;
  Max-lease-time 7200;
  }
  host VMnet1 {}
  Hardware ethernet 00:50:56:C0:00:01;
  fixed-address 192.168.184.1;
  option domain-name-servers 0.0.0.0.
  option domain-name ";
  }

  Is there a problem with my configuration somewhere, or is it just a limitation of VMware Player?

  You may need to allow ICMP traffic of WF with Windows 7 as OS.

• Netem VM between two virtual machines? Is this possible?

  Hello

  I would use netem on a linux VM between two other virtual machines to simulate latency. Between Netem needs a machine with two network cards that he can fill. I've set up a VM on vSwitch0, a virtual machine on vSwitch1 and then an another VM with two network cards, one on each vSwitch. I thought that I create this box for use Netem and imitate and then between the two.

  Has anyone ever done something like this? I ran into a ton of problems and want to know if people have tried.

  I got it working by following these steps:

  1. create the computer virtual one with a NETWORK card on vSwitch0

  2. create a VM with a NETWORK card on vSwitch1 b

  3. create a VM n with a NETWORK card on vSwitch0 and vSwitch1

  4. set the port groups to vSwitch0 and 1 for the "Promiscuous" mode accept (from the default of rejection)

  5. set the n, a centOS VM VM for a networking interface using two network cards

  Note: maps network of VM's and b VM were located in the same subnet.

  Once step 5 start working and traffic exchange VM has and through VM n. b I have experienced a strong delay 5ms ping where there was a<1 ms="" delay="" on="" ping="" when="" vm="" a="" and="" b="" were="" on="" the="" same="" vswitch.="" i="" came="" in="" the="" next="" day="" and="" the="" delay="" was="" gone.="" no="" idea="">

  All the tricks to bypass and netem being by default in the installation of CentOS 6.4, I was able to establish conditions as the loss of delay and the package on the transport between the VM and VM n and b degraded as desired.

  The reason that I wanted this to be complicated as it is I can take a virtual machine of vSwitch 0 and pop in vSwitch1 and all of a sudden traffic to and since it undergoes degradation due to the conditions imposed by the bridge n Netem the VM configuration.

• No network connection between the virtual machines on different hosts ESXi

  I have several 5.0 ESXi hosts in a cluster managed by vCenter Server 5 and I have network problems:

  1. [Host A] running a virtual machine can ping any other computer virtual running on the [host A] great!
  2. A virtual machine running on host [B] can ping any other virtual machine running on [B] home - very well!
  3. [host A] (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running on [B] home - even better!
  4. [B] home (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running [host A] - beautiful set!
  5. A virtual machine running [host A] can not ping any virtual computer running on host [B] and vice versa - bad, very bad!

  So basically the problem is that the virtual machines can communicate on hosts. It is a major problem that I need to fix, for obvious reasons.

  Networking on all hosts is configured exactly the same way: a unique and standard vSwitch with a pair of gigabit network cards grouped, vmkernels configured for the vMotion, NFS and network management and a group of ports configured for the VIRTUAL local area network used by the VMs. (vMotion works fine on hosts, storage vMotion works very well too.) All virtual machines are servers Windows (2003 and 2008).

  Reason #3 and #4 above, my assumption is that #5 must be the result of an ESXi/vCenter configuration issue and not a problem with the switches of material upstream. Is this a reasonable assumption?

  Whatever it is, can anyone offer suggestions on how can I fix? It is quite annoying as I'm pretty sure that these hosts are configured in the same manner as those of our production cluster, which does not at all these problems!

  Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

  To be honest, it looks like a problem with your physical network-

  How is the physical network configured - are NIC connects it to the same physical switches? Are the virtual machines on the same subnet? If this is not the case, they are able to ping the gateway sbnet? Can you piing host IP address from the virtual machines?

  I also moved it to a forum more approiate.

• Network sharing between two virtual machines to XP

  Looks like it should be easy, but for some reason I can't make it work.  MacPro with two XP virtual machines running.  I want to share some files between virtual machines.  I tried to put them both in Bridge mode, but I was unable to ping each other.

  Is there anything else I need to do?

  I'm not too familiar with sygate.  As you have discovered, yes Windows Firewall allows for sharing of files across, but it disables ping responses (unless you enable it manually).  If you have Sygate running on one of these virtual machines, I would disable the windows one if you don't have multiple firewalls on the system for you in trouble...

  Open ports 135-139 (TCP and UDP) and also open 445 (TCP and UDP).

• Error playing the virtual machine in VMware Player

  Hi all

  I am getting error below while reading VM(UI VM.ova) UI in VMware Player. Everyone has also same error. Help, please.

  Thanks in advance,

  RizQad

  
  

  

  It is in fact no error, but the result of not being able to get the automatic (DHCP) IP settings. Please check which virtual bridged network (Host-Only, NAT) is configured for the virtual computer and check if the related DHCP service is running. Also make sure that NIC of the virtual computer is configured with "Connect to light". If no DHCP server is available, follow the instructions in the red part of the screen.

• Can I register the Virtual Machine of VMware player esxi 4 4.1?

  Hi all

  There are a few virtual machines running in VMware player version 4, now I need to migrate on ESXi 4.1...

  It's Possible he just copy and past the files of virtual machines running in vmware player in the data store then register the same in the esxi server and power on... This will not work?

  because I do not V2V method...

  With respect,

  Pascale Vimal

  You run the virtual machine on HW 8, that you will not be able to simply move the ESXi machine.

  The only supported option is to do a conversion on reviews of downgrade the material relating to immigration to vSphere

• Cano I run several virtual machines with VMware player?

  I can't find a way to launch several machines virtual oin my Windows 7 PC with VMware player. Please advice if this is possible. If this is not the case, what vm product will do the trick?

  Eric

  You can also double-click any VMs .vmx files you want to start.  What I've done is set up the shortcuts in my quick launch for my VMs frequently used toolbar.  Each shortcut target the respective virtual machine .vmx file, is to start.

  Hope this helps

• automatic start of the virtual machine on vmware player 2.5.1?

  Can VMWare Player 2.5.1 the virtual machine autostart when it starts? I have Windows running VMWare Player when it starts, but just, this brings me to the main page of player where you can open file, recent opening, etc. You still have to physically click to open the virtual machine. So is there a way that I could automate it to just run itself when it opened (change of maybe a file somewhere)? If this version/product does not support this, can you recommend one that does?

  Player doesn't have the ability to auto-start the virtual machines.  The fact of VMware Server.  Server start virtual machines when Windows starts, not when you start the server GUI, which is not exactly what you are referring, but is usually what most people want when they want machines virtual autostart.

  'office' versions of Windows are listed as taken hosts supported OS.  Many threads on these forums about the small nagging issues with networking and such when to use Server on unsupported hosts, especially hosts Vista and Win7.  You don't specify what version of Windows you are using as the host.  If it is a server version, VMware Server is an option for you.

  But a simple solution is to simply make shortcuts to the. Files in the folder of your VMX virtual machine.

• Conversion to a virtual machine using VMware Player?

  We have an environment consisting of ESX:

  • vCenter 4.0.0 (build 162856)

  • Runing host ESX 3.5.0 (build 163429)

  I have very limited exposure to VMware Player and who has been with the first versions.

  We received a request to make an existing virtual machine in Windows 2008 for use with VMware Player.

  1. Is this feasible?

  2. I had user Converter?

  3. I'm confused about the end result and how to deal with operating system licenses and IP information as they proliferate this image in VMplayer?

  Looking for some tips and information to help me get started.

  I usually copy the complete directory of the virtual machine on ESX to a host with vmplayer and it - just run without any conversion. Just doubleclick vmx-file...

  This works even when the virtual machine has snapshots, although I do not recommend.

  If I have problems they can usually be cured by a simple modification vmx and vmdk so I amy forget a step here.

  Anyway - just try and come back with error messages.

• Can I deploy the same virtual machine to VMWare Player running of several PCs without network problems

  Hi all

  I am a newbie so please forgive if this is a stupid question...

  Can I deploy the same virtual machine (XP Pro), with the same machine name and the same GUID for several machines on a network without going through issues such as errors of names duplicate etc. Or will I sysprep prior to deployment.  If so, is there an easier way to do it?

  Not sure if this is important, but I need to use Bridged networking due to problems with our personal firewall.

  You will need to deal with the dupe GUID. Sysprep is a method.
