• Plan for the creation of new virtual machine with 3 TB data drive

  We have an old server, we need to virtualize, and one thing that we need is a lot more storage. We have approximately 3.25 TB of available for this machine (250 GB for the OS and 3 to for the data drives), but I'm going in circles trying to find the best approach for this server. It is not possible to separate the data between several players because of the way the files are indexed. I have created a virtual machine with 2 TB of disk space (for the readers of OS and data) and added 1.25 TB of disk space I want to add on the data reader, but it does not seem possible to add 1.25 TB without destroying the data on the first disk of 2 TB. What is the best approach? Create a single disc for my virtual machine that is 250 GB and then add in two separate disks of 1.5 TB for storage and combine them within Windows?

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, the maximum size of virtual disk to a virtual computer is 2 TB - 512 bytes. In you case it should create two or three separate virtual disks and combine them (disks RAID 0 or concatenate). Another way (IMHO besser way) is to create several virtual drives and mount using NTFS mount points.

  An example:

  C:\Data is a folder on one of the virtual disks. Create a second virtual disks and create the C:\Data\Data2 folder. Rather than assign a drive letter for the newly created disk, you can mount it in the Database2 folder. This gives you the ability to move the largest files on separate virtual drives without lose you the structure of folders.

• VMware Fusion 6 Professional - where is the possibility of locking VMware using a single virtual machine and do not allow the creation of new virtual machines?

  This is a quote from the VMware Fusion Professional 6 product page:

  VMware Fusion 6 Professional comes with IT administration tools to help you deploy VMware Fusion using Apple or a management solution third Mac as of JAMF's Casper Suite. Further reduce the cost of support of Windows desktop using the mode of single virtual machine that limits user access to the library of the Virtual Machine, the ability to create virtual machines or migrate PCs and reduces the options of the menu.

  Where can I find these IT administration tools?  I want to block my VMware users to a single virtual machine so that they can not blow by creating new virtual machines, etc.

  How can I do this?

  Thank you!

  Glitch004,

  You could follow the steps to activate the single mode of VM:

  1. turn power off all running VMS and out the merger.

  2. Add the following line to/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion / config

  installerDefaults.simplifiedUI = 'TRUE '.

  3 restart merger and you will find:

  . VM library is hide in the VM menu.

  . only one virtual machine can be used, while click second VM Fusion of the reports ' Unable to open document. "

• URGENT! After installing 6 Fusion and creation of new virtual machine with Windows 7, I get a message "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit". WHAT SHOULD DO?

  After purchase, installation and activation Fusion 6 with the license key, I had a library of VMS showing 2 Boot Camp partitions. It's strange that I only have 1.
  I tried to activate them but received a message that it is out of date in 2 cases. (see annex 1)

  I started a new virtual machine with a Windows 7 installation disc directly on my HD. I have provided a way to do this and followed the instructions of Fusion to the screen.

  Apparently, everything went well and after several restarts, the installation appears to be over (see annex 2) I tried to open and run the installed Windows 7. I had however a window with the following message:

  "Pending the unit.

  "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit. Please wait until the unit starts automatically, or interact with the virtual machine below. ' (see annex 3)

  Here Windows 7 seems to start but after a while with the home screen and of the Øresund finishing this window closed and open a new window called library Virtual Machine on the left showing the partitions of Bootcamp and the Virtual Machine Windows 7 x 64 and in the middle gray a representation of what is supposed to be the Windows 7 desktop. (see Exhibit 4). When I opened the settings button a window with different setting options pops up. This mark means to me that Windows is installed but the final opening isn't the case

  When you quit Vmware Fusion indeed Windows seems to be close (see part 5)

  What is going on? What has gone wrong? What should I do? I don't know how to solve the problem.

  I should f.i. remove the virtual machine from Windows 7 and is free automatically made partition on my HD as the reboot with the Windows installation disc? or y at - it another way to enter the UNIT?

  Help, please!

  Thanks in advance

  Your virtual machine is running. It is in the unit - which each windows gets its own window of Mac - and you have no application Windows running, there is no visible windows. You can start a Windows application in the start of Fusion menu in the menu bar at the top right, or turn on the Windows task bar on the view menu and start applications from there. Or use the view menu to switch to the Single mode or full-screen, which puts all of your Windows desktop in a window separate from Mac.

  You do not have two partitions to Boot Camp on your Mac, you have two virtual machines named "Boot Camp partition".

  The message about it being unable to enter the unit arrives while the merger is pending for the tools begin to run, because the tool is necessary for the unit.

• Default directory for the button browse for File Upload

  Hello.
  
  I use Apex 3.1.2. Is there a way to set a "default" directory on the browse file upload button? I would like to have users click the upload file button and this default directory appear rather than forcing them to weed through multiple levels of directories.
  
  Thank you.
  
  
  Elijah

  Hi Elijah,

  The simple answer is no, there is no way to do so as the control over the content and the functionality of the field FileBrowse is now restricted for security reasons.

• Software exists for the creation of a 'virtual' network card and going to all the traffic on the local network through a proxy server, then by this adapter?

  I can access net through LAN and my college requires a proxy for all access to the internet. If you want to use the internet, it is impossible to do not use a proxy. This is a problem for many programs that do not seem to allow you to enter the proxy settings.

  any software is to create a 'virtual' network adapter that will pass all traffic network (or any protocol x traffic) through the proxy?

  So I have do not need to enter the proxy anywhere... and I have normal internet access.
  What I saw is possible with OpenVPN, but it is a vpn service that I need .i just want to use the feature. In OpenVPN I just enter my proxy server in its framework and OpenVPN to connect to a VPN service and routes all traffic to the FAUCET adapter after which I don't need to set the proxy address anywhere... so my idea is how can I use only the last part that is routing all my LAN traffic to a virtual card.

  Support the LAN---> proxy---> virtual adapter--->, then software I access the net

  That's what I like to do...

  Although I am facing this problem on Windows 7, solutions for all operating systems are welcome.

  P.S: Proxifier is not my solution to not offer something like this.

• Are there problems in the creation of a virtual machine in VMware Workstation or Server and then move it to ESXi?

  Hello

  I intend to pass our mailserver's current installation of Windows Server 2003 running on native hardware in a Windows Server 2008 running in a virtual machine on ESXi.

  This is the same machine as we will reuse so I would prefer to be able to create the virtual machine on a different computer and test it before wiping Windows and install ESXi. Are there problems with the creation of the virtual machine in VMware Server and then migrate to ESXi using VMware Converter? I won't if the result is not a 'perfect' virtual machine that performs as well as if it had been created on ESXi from the beginning.

  All our other VMs were created on ESXi from the beginning.

  Kind regards

  René Frej Nielsen

  If you are not sure, you can load VMware Server 2 and then install ESXi in it and test your configuration.  Do all this from your desktop (as it is decent).  You can also do in my computer.  A quick google search should give you all the information you need to get something like this configuration.

• Best practices for the creation of new library system

  I want to create a photo library second, named Photo library - offline (for example) that is not synchronized with iCloud photo library.

  Am I right in thinking that once I've created the new library and set it as the photo library of the system, it will be synchronized with ICPL and import all photos of ICPL new library?

  Am also right in thinking that, once all the ICPL photos are synchronized with the new library, they will remain in the library named library Photos - Offline, even though I unchecked it as the SPL?

  Or I have to export all the photos of ICPL to the HD on my Mac, and then import them manually to the new photo library?

  Am I right in thinking that once I've created the new library and set it as the photo library of the system, it will be synchronized with ICPL and import all photos of ICPL new library?

  Yes.  The new empty library will start to download photos from iCloud library after enable you it as a Photo library system in Photos > Preferences > general and like iCloud photo in the photo library > preferences > iCloud.

  But wait, that all the photos of the old library were transferred to iCloud and the iCloud watch Preferences tab is no longer a progress bar.

  Am also right in thinking that, once all the ICPL photos are synchronized with the new library, they will remain in the library named library Photos - Offline, even though I unchecked it as the SPL?

  Yes, the switching between libraries will not remove photos from the library.

  A few comments, just in case where; If you want to sync a library with iCloud is not on your system drive, make sure, that the ths disk is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled =, or it cannot be used as a photo library iCloud.)  Do not download thumbnails of faces to iCloud photo library.  If your second copy on the external hard drive will not be showing any thumbnails of faces that you have assigned.

• What is a good figure for the average number of virtual machines per server?

  I hear everything from 10:1 to 100: 1.  What is a good average, and analysts say?

  So what are the good standards of processors and apps

• Don't define the default directory for virtual machines

  Use VMware Player 3, how can I set the default directory for the VMS to be opened or created?

  Concerning

  Marius

  Open the preferences of the user (on Windows, % APPDATA%\VMware\preferences.ini).

  You want to add OR change the following line:

  -prefvmx.defaultVMPath =

  If this key is not in the file, add it and the full path that you want as the default value, the value on the right side

  -prefvmx.defaultVMPath = "C:\Thanksgiving\Ate\Too\Much".

  Now that the player can create virtual machines, it would be nice to have the user interface to specify the default directory for put/get those VMs

• Creating a new virtual machine, nothing happens

  Hi all

  Last year, with win xp sp3, I tried VMWare WS 6 and there is nothing to do: after installing the program, choose 'New virtual machine' in the home section, I did all the steps at the end I was with the same State of windows, as I have nothing (empty, just the Home tab)

  Now, on Windows 7 ultimate x 86, I was wondering to test your version 7.1, but what's funny, is that I have the same situation described above (with no error was shown)

  So, I don't know if there is that a service stopped victory that need VMWare runs correctly or any software like Daemon or Gizmo can interfere with VMWare, wath I know is that I spent several hours searching for in your forum and the web without any positive result.

  I also try to change the HARD disk where to save the virtual machine, to customize some settings in the wizard, leave all the default settings, but without success

  The corresponding files are created in the location I choose, but nothing more. Also if I choose 'open an existing virtual machine or the team', go to one of these files, nothing, nothing and nothing again

  Note that whenever I did the wizard, either one or several times, is impossible to close the main window of the program, I have to use the Task Manager

  I really hope that now that some can help me finally see work of VMWare

  Below is a screen all I can get VMware: nothing

  

  TKS in advance

• New virtual machine cannot reach gateway all-in-olders Yes

  Hi, I'm using ESXi for a year with no problems, but now I'm having a very strange situation. New virtual machine cannot reach the front door, while the 'old'. New virtual machine can ping olders VM and vice versa, but new looks as private. I tried different OS and still have the same question.

  That's what I have:

  Reference DELL R610 with RAID - 1 and RAID-5

  ESXi free 348481 4.1.0

  1 card NETWORK connected

  IPs public 16

  4 VM (W 2008 32bits, W 2008R2 64, 32 2008 W, W 2008 64) works perfectly

  All VM are stored on the local Datastore2 (raid-5)

  Last week, I installed:

  1 Openfiler ESA (gateway problem)

  1 W 2008 R2 (gateway problem)

  1 W XP 32 (gateway problem)

  1 W 2008 32 (gateway problem)

  Older VM never lose connection with gateway and beyond

  New never manage to bridge

  I can't manually add gateway IP/mac address (error 5) in the new.

  Anyone can figure it out and how to solve? I'm really lost.

  Thank you

  New virtual machine can ping olders VM and vice versa...

  This excludes actually questions 'virtual '. The vSwitch has no restrictions.

  What kind of physical switch are you using? If this is a CISCO switch to ensure that the port is configured as a port of access (or trunk port) and spans tree portfast is. Some CISCO switches have a "macro"set desktop on their ports which limits the number of MAC addresses that are allowed on the port.

  André

  PS: Please don't ask me. Did you check the address of the gateway AND subnet mask are correct for the new virtual machines?

• Question about the size of my Virtual Machine

  I'm on Fusion 3.1 (and Windows XP in Fusion on a MacBookPro Leopard). I put my Windows Virtual Machine to be 40 GB size but I just ran OmniDiskSweeper and it shows that the virtual machine takes 53 GB. I see the same size in the Finder.

  Two questions: first, how is it possible for the virtual machine to limit growth, I gave him? Second, is there a way for me to downsize (safely). I did not quite in the virtual machine (mainly my installation of Windows) and a handful of programs so it's weird that she's so big.

  I have disabled Auto-protect.

  I have two snapshots, one of when I first set up the virtual machine and one of very recently. I once had a bunch of other photos but I deleted them. I mention this because I read in another thread that "orphan" instant can hang out somewhere but I don't know where to look to see if this is the reason for the growth of my virtual machine.

  Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

  One thing I didn't get your last answer: if snapshots are not backup, and the creation of a snapshot causes the basic disk that you want to stop growing, which are good for snapshots? Or in other words, your response, it looks like I should stop creating snapshots, Yes?

  In which case I should rely only on periodically manually save the virtual machine by copying in the Finder on an external drive?

  What I said was "Snapshots are not backups in the traditional sense of the word and should not be relied upon as such either." However, using clichés absolutely has merit and value but how to use them effectively and efficiently seems to escape most of the users.  As a general rule, I treat a not different Virtual Machine and a physical Machine, then when it come to back up the user data and the ability to quickly restore the entire construction as well as user data.  I use snapshots mainly for short periods of time, and then either delete them when I don't want to lose changes made along the way, or if I go back to a previous snapshot.  For example, I can run on a given snapshot and say a single snapshot for a week and if all was well I'll delete it and take another or if I need to do something that could end up with bad results I'll take a snapshot to do what I do and if I have a problem just go back to the previous snapshot or the basic disk as appropriate.  The trick is user data constantly backed up out of the Virtual Machine itself, as well as at some point in time I never have to worry about the State of and reason for any data or instant and what action I might have to or want to take.

  There are many other cases workers scenarios about how/when to use snapshots and it was just a bit of food for thought because I don't have time now to get deeper into it but the snapshots are a good thing to use as and when necessary, but do not count on them to replace the traditional methods/methodologies for backup/recovery of data user or any backup/restore system but use then as a another tool in the digital Toolbox.

• Change the default options for a NEW virtual machine in ESXI 5.1

  Hello

  I am looking for a solution change the 'default' options for a new virtual machine created in ESXI 5.1

  I want to have parameters such as 'cpu/memory HOT-add' default to enabled instead of disabled.

  There may be more options to change to a new virtual machine.

  All those who have an option to change the 'default' options for new virtual machines?

  THX

  You can change the/etc/vmware/config of vSphere host file and add the lines mem.hotadd = 'TRUE' and vcpu.hotadd = 'TRUE '.
  The settings then apply to any VM on this host when virtual machines are turned on...

  I just tried this on a 5.1 ESXi host and it seems to work perfectly...
