ESX 3.5 if slow start on VMware Workstation 6.5?

Someone has something to boot the ESX 3.5 faster VM on VMware Workstation 6.5 all parameters in VMX file?  It seems too slow when start with 2048 MB of RAM for each created virtual computer.  I took about 30 minutes is this normal?

I also have one of this type of gear and it works very well and kicked around max 2-3 minutes.  You can check your settings and creation:

1. create the new virtual machine with WS 6.5 mode and choose the option to create the virtual disk now so it can speed up your performance bit.

2. remove the disk, sound, USB devices

3. modify the "processor" just for VT VT/AMD Intel instead of two EPT and it give '2 vCPU' as well.

4. close WS 6.5 and edit the .vmx file and place the monitor entry door back to "true", as shown above

5. make sure that you have 'two vCPU' for both VMs.

6 image .iso 3.5 mount ESX of ROM and make installation took about 5 minutes to fill very quickly if you gave him 2-4 GB of ram.

7. If not work try combination of "MMU" for hardware/software see if it works except that it must work.  Just check VT as well enable on BIOS.

Let us know what your results are like.

  • ESX 3.5 really slow start in VMware Server

    Hello

    I managed to install ESX 3.5 Server 2 on a dell sc440. The physical server has 4 gigabytes of ram and is running xp pro as host. I attributed the ESX 3.5 VM 1.5 GB of ram because I would create 2 ESX VM's for testing. However when you turn on the computer, virtual, they take forever to a boot ESX is currently 30 minutes in a boot and just happen to the filesystem root tank.

    I have virtualization enabled in the BIOS of the physical server, but everyone would be able to give me guidance on the acceleration of time to start the virtual machine. It doesn't seem to be due to the amount of ram that I assigned the virtual machine because it has not used any amount over 600megs so far in the boot process. Ah the sc440 also has a Xeon dual-core in it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Very well.  Watch more closely the code reveals that on some hardware, a type of 64-bit operating system asked is not enough to force the use of hardware virtualization for guests who never in long mode.

    Please, add the following option to your virtual machine configuration file:

    monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware"
    

    That should do the trick.

  • 15 Ubuntu won't start in VMware workstation 12 after a recent update of Ubuntu

    I'm quite new to the environment virtual system and linux. Someone could me help on my question below?

    I have a virtual system installed using VMware workstation 12. It works fine, until the upgrade of Ubuntu this morning.

    I have no idea what the update installed.

    After the required reboot, Windows VMware has always stop a black page.

    Before everything, there were some posts that I think they should be useful to target the issue here.

    I found a solution!

    There is problem of ubuntu, new kernel is bad and it's a bug.

    To start again just hold SHIFT while your machine virtual machine to the menu shows ubuntu boot.

    Select Advanced, then choose more old kernel version and that's all.

    After you restart your virtual machine it always start on black screen, you need to delete newes kernel version linux-headers - 4.2.0 - 30 to begin on the old version and problem SOLVED!

    remove the kernel:

    sudo apt-get remove linux-image-4.2.0-30-generic
    sudo update-grub2

    reboot.

  • The VMware Workstation Server service stopped with service specific error %-1.

    Hi, when I try to enable sharing in Workstation 8 GTR | Change | Preferences | Sharing virtual machines, I get an error Impossible to configure the workstation server. Check the event log, I found they were trying to start the VMware Workstation Server service that does not start (even when you try to start it manually) and the following error is recorded "the VMware Workstation Server service stopped with service specific error %-1." by the Service Control Manager. I found no additional cases related.

    Running on Windows 7 SP1 x 64. The port is set to 7443.

    I also tried to find a newspaper there instead of vmware, but neither found anything related; However I could have missed something.

    Thanks for all the ideas, what could be wrong and how to fix it.

    Hello

    I have Workstation 8.0.1 installed on two laptop computers each running Windows 7 SP1 x 64... the shared component of the virtual machine runs on one but not the other. On the machine that I have problems with I uninstalled Workstation and reinstalled - without success. What I ended up doing to replace the datastores.xml file in the Directory go (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\hostd) on the laptop with the problem with the file datastores.xml of the laptop that works - success! I knew that there was a problem with the file because I've been poking around and noticed that the datastores.xml file is not open for editing - it was corrupted.

    I have attached the file to this message.

    Change of the section at the location that you store your shared VM (be sure to not use a UNC, which breaks the service as well!).

    I hope this helps.

  • Mac OSX Lion in ESX 5.1 does not start

    Hello

    I have a virtual machine to work in "VMWare Workstation 8.x" with Mac OSX Lion (I corrected my computer to do).

    I converted this virtual machine with VMWare Converter Standalone 5.1.x in vSphere ESX 5.1 and, after the successful conversion, I properly configure the type of operating system like Mac OS Lion.

    In ESX, the virtual machine starts, but stuck with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel of progress. So my questions are:

    • Do you have advice on how to fix this?
    • How to enter in "verbose" mode in vSphere? I tried to delay the start and be ready to press the two 'CTRL + v' or 'WIN + v' or 'ALT + v', but nothing has worked.

    Thank you!

    Eddie C.

    The problem here is that you violate Apple's EULA, no one here will be able to help since it is breaking this rules of communities.

    To virtualize OS x, you must run on Apple hardware.

  • Ubuntu 11.04 very slow after upgrade to VMWare Workstation 8.0

    Hello

    After the update to VMWare Workstation 8.0 my Ubuntu 11.04 comments system (which worked very well with Workstation 7) behaves very slow sometimes.

    Slowly I want to say first that it is very laggy when I scroll conent inside windows, and also when I move windows.

    And with sometimes I want to say that this is not always the case. Sometimes, everything works fine for 1 or 2 hours and she begins and, sometimes, that's the problem immediately after starting Ubuntu.

    The problem occurs when restart Ubuntu does not help. But what is stopping Ubuntu and also restart VMWare Workstation on the host (in my case Windows 7) completely. When I do this and I'm lucky everything seems normal again for a while (1 or 2 hours). After that starts all over again.

    VMWare Tools is installed and the comments system has more then enough resources. I also improved the virtuale image to the latest version so that the new features in Workstation 8.0 are available.

    I first thought that maybe it's a RAM problem but the system begins to lag when there is still 1 GB + RAM available and 0.0% swap used.

    Any ideas what I could do? This is quite annoying...

    You can see the same bug that is described in this thread: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1840185#1840185

  • My VMware workstation is very slow!

    I use a software called SAP ECC 6.0 through the VMware Workstation and software is installed in my computer, but the performance is very ugly. Even the mouse arrow moves slowly in the virtual machine window. My laptop is good, I have a processor intel 2.53 hz, 4 GB of RAM, HD (7200 RPM).

    Anyone know how I can speed this softaware?

    My OS is windows 7 (64), and I'm running windows server 2003 in the virtual machine.

    Thank you

    OK, after reviewing your vmware.log file...

    -Your host has a dual-core processor, so you don't need to configure a single host with more than 1 vCPU.  Please reconfigure your comments for 1 vCPU.

    -You said that your host has 4 GB of RAM installed, but you have allocated 3.5 GB of RAM at your prompt, that leaves only 500 MB of RAM to your host run.  Suggest to lower the amount of memory live allocated to your guest.  Start with 1 GB and move up from there.

    -I see some indications of slow storage host.  What type of storage is your guest stored on?  (External USB?  Network drive?  Others?)

    -I see you are using Workstation 6.5.1.  6.5.3 workstation is now available and is free to download for you.  I don't think that 6.5.3 has specific fixes for your problem, but something to think about.

    -If not already done, please configure CD-ROM of your invited to start "disconnected."

    Give the above a try and tell us if it helps.

    If you put expensive RAM and/or incorrect RAM then Yes. iMacs are very sensitive to the RAM and you must use quality RAM, more experienced on these forums users use OWC (www.macsales.com) or critical (direct purchase). RAM should also be installed in pairs. If you purchased anything else, then after a report of EtreCheck of your system and we can look for obvious problems.

    Hello

    My notebook booted up like a turtle. Do you know why?
    Because many applications have been installed in the autostart folder or in the registry, run entry and this affected the start-up procedure.
    I had Norton Antivirus installed and loaded always at the beginning.

    I read that this software needs of too many resources and slows down the performance of the laptops.
    I removed and instead of Norton, I use another program called Antivir antivirus.
    It s freeware and my notebooks starts much faster than with preinstalled Symantec Norton Antivirus.

    I recommend also using a small tool called CCleaner.
    It repairs the registry of the operating system and remove all garbage and junk of the system.
    It s really nice

    See you soon

  • Satellite Pro - Slow start up and sound is messed up

    I had my * Toshiba Satellite Pro * with * Windows XP * for a good few years now. She has always worked like a gem and only gave me no problems until a few weeks ago.

    A few weeks ago I was downloading a program and with it the virus 'Antivir Solutions' very undesirable and unliked. I've done everything I can to get rid of this disaster (with the help of the support forums) and I think that I managed to get rid of it, but since my computer has not been the same.

    I had trouble downloading a PDF document, a few days ago and it froze so I tried to restart that caused the computer to have a hissing fit, remove my user account which meant I had to configure everything again from scratch. And, now, the computer takes a good 45 minutes from the moment you press the button "ON" when it is ready to start working. Not to mention, it takes a good 10 minutes every time you click on an icon for the program to start actually...

    I tried to defrag the system and you have tried to uninstall unused programs to speed up the computer, but it did not work.
    I also ran several anti-virus (e.g. Norton, AVG, Microsoft Security Essentials) to make sure that I don't have wicked not spoil me, but they come clean.

    May I also add the sound is messed up also. If I use the built-in speakers or external speakers, the sound is disjoint and broken. Like any video I have play.

    I don't know what to do.
    I can't really afford a new computer, but I need my computer to be reliable. I use my computer for 12 of the 24 hours a day...

    Hi nicoletrist,

    I put t know what laptop you have exactly, but I think that the slow start Windows is caused due to viruses you have or had.
    A few years ago I also had a virus and it was causing a very slow start to the top, he did take up to 10 minutes until Windows has been loaded and the only solution to get rid of this used Toshiba recovery disc.

    I would like to recommend you. Use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings and save your data, because everything on the HARD drive will be erased.
    I'm sure after using the laptop recovery disk will work like a charm again! :)

  • Slow start on Vista Home Premium - Satellite U400-15B

    Hello

    I just bought Satellite U400-15B and am finding it takes very long to start Vista, I went into msconfig and disabled the things I don't use and stuff that I think is not necessary, but it is still having to wait ages before that I can use the laptop. I have enough RAM and processor speed, so I don't think that the specifications of the laptop are a problem

    Is there something that can be done on this slow start, any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think slow start or laptop slow operations depend on good configuration of the OS. I played with this last month and I am now convinced that Vista starts and runs on my laptop.
