• 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

• 10g RAC on Linux with vmware - time synchronization problem

  Hello
  
  I installed 10g RAC on Linux with vmware server 1.0.5 on my machine.
  
  I knew that the time on the two nodes of the rac is different and goes out of sync.
  
  I set the time on both nodes, but after an hour, they are not synchronized.
  
  Their time is different with the time machine.
  
  Is there a way to put the two nodes at the time of synchronization with the time of the machine?
  
  Thank you
  Drane

  Hi drane

  Yes it is possible by the parameters of a time server ntp or get your servers synchronized with a time provider ntp.

• I need assistance with VMware Player Manifest.txt file

  I make a program of federal work with ITT Technical Institute study. Well, we have VMware Player installed on lab computers, and on a weekly basis, I have to empty the student accounts.  Well some student accounts I can't delete, I am logged in as the administrator of the Local Machine and when I try to remove most of the accounts I get the message saying that the manifest.txt file is "cannot delete manifest.txt.2: access denied."  Make sure that the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use. »

  and see that I have clear accounts because space is limited on these machines.  I was just wondering if any 1 can help me on how to remove this file, it would be greatly appreciated and if I have this post in the wrong section will be some 1 let me know?

  Thank you

  If the boot without failure for the administrator account and not be able to delete a file under the other user account or the account itself, there is something else wrong.

  First, I make sure that no VMware not associated with the process are running which must be in Mode safe and then I would take a look at the permissions on the file and, if necessary and or possible I would take possession in order to delete the file.  Otherwise issues that may could be corruption of the file system, in which case I would run chkdsk with the argument/f or if it's just that a file could / can be an area damaged the disk hard physics so you can test the physical hard drive with a diagnostic tool specific HARD drive manufacturing.

  Other options would be to try to remove the file from the Recovery Console by booting from the installation disc or Windows using a Linux Live OS like Slax.

  BTW is this topic on the host or guest?  If in a guest I just delete the virtual machine and replace it from a backup and if it is on the host computer, then this is not really a matter of VMware itself and it is more a problem of Windows Administration and must be treated accordingly from the point of view of the user account and or file system management regardless of the application that created the file and act accordingly.

• Guy Android coming to BB. Installation with VMWare player/Simulator/SDK issues

  I installed it,

  C/C++ QNX Momentics IDE...installer-bbndk-BB10_0_04-win32-186-201204250810-201204251322.exe
  BlackBerry10Simulator... BlackBerry10Simulator-Installer-BB10_0_04-195-Win-201204262359.exe
  VMWare... VMware-player-version 4.0.3 - 703057.exe

  I go to the early stages of QNX Momentics IDE and try opening an example (SDK)
  I get the Setup Deployment Wizard. I go to Device Setup and choose Simulator.
  What should I do now? The last step click the HELP (?) says he launched the Simulator, but I get a page with the title "Blackberry Simulator is not found and it's looking for a file VNX. I checked and tripled check the previous steps on the help icon.

  The Simulator is deadlocked C:\Documents and Settings\User1\My Documents\Virtual Machines\BlackBerry10Simulator-BB10_0_04. And I clearly see a BlackBerry10Simulator.vmx file in there
  but the SDK app doesn't see a single VMX file. The folder 'controllers' and other records.

  I tried the VMWare Player. It works very well.

  What I am doing wrong?

  Hey be based,

  The initial installation of the IDE and Simulator can be sometimes a bit daunting. Some of these steps you've done but im going anyway to list them:

  1. raise some Code by signing keys: keys

  2. download and install Momentics IDE and install

  3. download and install Blackberry Simulator

  4 download and install VMWare

  5 disable all firewall programs including windows firewall

  6. open VMWare-> choose open a Virtual Machine-> access your VNX file and open it

  7 if it opens really slow try changing options in VMWare 2 CPU and see if you can activate the "Virtualization technology" or "AMD Virtualization" in the BIOS

  8 the address of development of the Simulator (click the icon of the person with the toothed wheel on the menu bar of your alpha dev Simulator

  9. open the IDE, click window > Preferences on Windows and select BlackBerry and click BlackBerry Setup Wizard Deployment.

  10. follow the onscreen instructions to set up your target (Simulator or device) and add your chips of the device debugging.

  11 A this point your simulator could not auto discover so add your IP address you found earlier and if you haven't added a password in your simulator then let empty password.

  12. the rest of the wizard of BlackBerry deployment configuration should work just fine.

  13 open a sample application

  14. click on the file of the bar - descriptor.xml in the Project Explorer view, and then select "Set of symbolic debugging.

  15. right click on the project file, and then select Configurations to Build > Set Active > 4 Simulator-Debug

  16. right click on the project file, and then select generate the project.

  17. then right click on the project again and select run as > BlackBerry Application C/C++

  18. If all goes well, everything should work from there.

  Remember you need to do 14-17 for each project you want to run through the Simulator. And always turn on the virtual machine before you start the IDE I found that things always work better that way.

  I hope this helps!

• Need help with VMware Player to run!

  I've been using VMware Player 7.1 successfully for some time, but my drive hard host started making noise, so I installed a new SSD drive as drive C on the host computer.  My old hard drive installation was 8.1 for Windows 64-bit, but needed to be cleaned, so I did a clean install of Windows 8.1 64 bit on my new SSD for the host.  My guest OS (8.1 64-bit Windows) has been installed on drive E, then I'm not touching this player.  I then installed VMware Player 7.1 and all is well.  However, when I now run VMware Player 7.1 and try to open my (8.1 Windows 64-bit) guest OS, he says now that the Intel VT - x is disabled.  I've never touched the BIOS at all, but to check I went into the BIOS and Intel Virtualization is always on because it has been.  My system is a motherboard ASUS Sabertooth with an i7 processor and 16 GB of ram.

  So I rechecked everything in the BIOS and made sure the virtualization is enabled.  What else can I do to get VMware Player 7.1 running?  Help, please!

  The log file created when I tried to run the guest operating system is attached.

  Thank you

  Abby

  It is indeed strange that there is a difference with no changes to the BIOS. In any case, other messages in the forums, it seems like some antivirus/end point protection applications can cause these issues (see, for example, binary translation is incompatible with the long mode). You have already installed this application?

  It might be interesting to see vmware.log from the virtual machine HARD disk.

• Vmrun fails with VMware Player

  Hello

  I am currently using VMware Player version 7.1.2 and VIX version 1.13

  I want to start my VM using vmrun VIX, unfortunately when I type in the command line, the following command:

  departure of player vmrun t 'D:\myUser\VMWare\Windows7\Windows 7.vmx '.

  It will give me something like this:

  Unable to connect to the host.

  Error: The specified version is not found

  I'm doing something wrong or is this a bug?

  For the mention I don't want to not buy or even to install VMware Workstation as I had a lot of trouble with it in the past (I had to do a system restore to get rid of) uninstall.

  OK, managed to make it work, here's how:

  1) there is a vixwrapper config.txt file in the folder VMware\VMware VIX. Make a backup and overwrite the following on the content of the file:

  #@Version-Info
  #
  # VixAllProducts revision mapping for Workstation/Player
  #
  # This file translates product version specifications into the appropriate Vix
  # implementations.
  #
  # Each @Version-Info line has 5 white-space seperated entries:
  #
  #    provider-type: ws, esx, viserver, etc
  #    apiVersion: the apiVersion supported, as passed in from VixHost_Connect()
  #    ipc-type: none, vmdb, vmodl, cim
  #    product-version: the product version string
  #
  #    implementation-directory: the path to the library that implements the
  #          version described by the first 4 parameters
  #
  #
  # The configuration is based on the first 4 fields, which describe
  # the product.  The 5th field is the location.  To force it to try
  # multiple location, the same configuration can be repeated.  Note that
  # list is built in LIFO order, so the latest entry in the configuration
  # will be the first used.  If for some reason that value fails, it will
  # continue through any other matches.
  
  # Workstation 11.1.2 and Player 7.1.2
  ws        17  vmdb  11.1.2 Workstation-11.0.0-and-vSphere-6.0.0
  player    17  vmdb   7.1.2 Workstation-11.0.0-and-vSphere-6.0.0
  ws-shared 17  none  11.1.2 Workstation-11.0.0-and-vSphere-6.0.0
  
  # EOF
  

  (2) if there is a folder named "workstation - 11.0.0 - and-vSphere - 6.0.0" then move elsewhere as a backup

  (3) make a copy of the folder "Desktop - 10.0.0 - and-vSphere - 5.5.0" and name it:

  Workstation - 11.0.0 - and-vSphere - 6.0.0

  (4) do not forget to add the vmrun path to the variable user: PATH (the vmrun path should be something like this: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware")

  Now the vmrun commands should work.

  The following command opens the virtual machine:

  departure of player vmrun t 'D:\myUser\VMWare\Windows7\Windows 7.vmx '.

• Problems with VMware Player

  Can someone help me please?

  I have two questions, but here's the background. I run a virtual machine using VM Player with Enterprise Server 2008 x 64 as my OS and Windows 7 on the client system. The version of the player that I use is the 3.0.1 and am not able to upgrade to a newer version that the virtual machines created on the new version won't be compatible with the rest on 3.0.1.

  Question 1: I get the following error message:

  "Could not get the driver vmci version: the handle is invalid.".

  You have an incorrect version of the driver 'vmci.sys '. Try reinstalling VMware Player.

  Power DevicePowerOn module has failed. »

  I uninstalled the software and reinstalled again, download the software from vmware download sit and still get the same error message. I also entered in the configuration of the .vm file and changed the settings vmciio:present from true to false. Should I do this?

  Question 2: Now the virtual machine is not recognizing the CDROM. I tried to use the real player allocated on the client system and also let the virtual machine automatically select, the two ways fail. I looked through other forums that show screen shots of how to fix this problem, unfortunately the screen with what I presented is different from that in demonstration.

  Any help would be fantastic, thank you.

  Welcome to the community,

  I don't know, but what you can try is to:

  1st edition.) Can you confirm you changed the setting vmci0.present = 'false' with the virtual machine properly closed - not suspended - and VMware Player closed.

  2nd edition.) In settings of the virtual machine CD-ROM, click on the button "Advanced...". "and enable"Legacy Emulation"see if that helps.

  If the above does not help, please report (attached) file vmware.log of the virtual machine to a response message.

• The simplies never backup? -with VMware Player

  Hello community,

  is it possible to use VMware player form simplies to 'save' like this:

  1. a virtual machine inside directoty create: VM_Win7_Folder

  2. copy and paste the complete record for let say Copy_VM_Win7_Folder

  3 and virtual distributor once the VM_Win7_Folder is infected or something just go and delete the entire folder

  with Windows Explorer and rename Copy_VM_Win7_Folder in VM_Win7_Folder and start VM?

  Is it works too?

  Best regards

  Milan

  Yes, make a copy of the files that make up a virtual machine is a way to save.  Made it with the stop of the guest operating system, not suspended and VMware Player closed.

  You can also use snapshot to revert to a previous State thus solve the immediate problem, but remember to always keep any user of data that is stored with the file systems Guest if operating system you do not lose and the user data when it is necessary to restore a VM from the backup or to revert to a previous snapshot.

• VMware player misunderstood technology?

  Hello!

  Please tell me who is misunderstood the topic of virtualization - me or VMware?

  I mean it seems that assistance to the players on the server is too complicated. A lot of server software and stuff to maintain.

  And the fact (from my understanding) that only the windows can be virtualized?

  So if I have a small business and want to have my employees to work on the virtual desktops for 'all' hosts 4 OS (Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac OS x) and will require a redirection of USB for the MacOSX (for iPhone/iPad development) I'm out in the cold (with player) then?

  Are there any alternatives or is desktop virtualization, in reality, impossible?

  Best regards

  Suggest that you try to read the product documentation as it should dissipate you misconceptions / misunderstandings!

  VMware Player is a Type 2 hypervisor that is installed under Windows or Linux and sleeps like a variety guest operating systems, Windows, Linux and Solaris.  Mac OS X can only be installed on Apple brand hardware and is supported on VMware ESX/ESXi or VMware Fusion.  Install Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware - of brand violates Apple SLA for Mac OS X and is illegal and discussing or helping to do with VMware Player would violate VMware Community terms of use so it cannot be discussed in this use case.  If you want to install a supported Mac OS X OS on a Virtual Machine on the Apple brand hardware, using VMware Fusion or VMware ESX/ESXi then please ask questions for this use case on the forums appropriate for what supported VMware product, you choose to use.

  Hello mmccurdy,

  Thank you for your message. But due to the fact that I use Ubuntu 15.04 in 32-bit version, it is not possible to install the bundle - x 64 drive.

  After searching a few other items, I found the solution now (you can find the entire instructions under http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1281

  First steps:

  cURL http://pastie.org/pastes/9934018/downloadhttp://pastie.org/pastes/9934018/download o /tmp/vmnet-3.19.patch

  CD/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source

  tar - xf vmnet.tar

  patch - p0-i /tmp/vmnet-3.19.patch

  After changing driver.c and userif.c, it is necessary to change too NETIF. C in the vmnet-only folder as follows (see original under http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1184)

  all about line 152:
  dev = alloc_netdev (sizeof * netIf, deviceName, VNetNetIfSetup);
  to do this:
  dev = alloc_netdev (sizeof * netIf, deviceName, NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, VNetNetIfSetup);

  Complete the changes to the file are VMNET-ONLY. Now the final stages:

  MV vmnet.tar vmnet.tar.SAVED

  tar - cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only

  RM - r vmnet-only

  VMware-modconfig - console - install-all

  then VMwarePlayer works very well.

• Virtual machines VMware Player 6.0.3 gel.

  I had a problem with VMware Player 6.0.3. All my guests freeze finally after awhile. This seems to happen more often with my Linux VM rather than my windows VM. The two become very annoying.

  I tried to adjust memory and its use, but it doesn't seem to work.

  My temporary solution is only a pause virtual machines and run again. Graphics performance are poor thereafter.

  Someone at - it experience something like this?

  Hi Jmattson,

  It seems to me I found the problem and it is fixed. I had added the following line to the VMX file:

  sound.bufferTime = "200".

  Apparently, the problem can be associated with buffer as I had very chopped him reading audio and video of the virtual machine just before it freezes. This may be due to move from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 as a host operating system.
