ESXi Hypervisor - start of the guest on the question of booting operating system

Hi all

I am very new to the game of VMware and I intend to start playing with free products available and to acquire a good understanding of it.

My question that I have currenty obtained is:

I have my desktop PC, I intend to install 5.1 ESXi hypervisor on it and then install a version of windows as a guest operating system.

I hope that I can set up so that when I turn on the computer, windows automatically boots - so if my wife wants to use the computer, it can still, and his experience is no different. However, I can then install several other OS and turn them as and when I need and have a good game.

Reading through the documentation that it doesn't look like this is possible?

I know that this is not strictly the destination of the product, but it would be convenient for me.

Has anyone encountered this before? / You know a way to do this?

Thank you very much

Tom Whittle

Welcome to the community - it is possible to have a virtual machine to run at startup of the ESXi Hypervisor but where your solution falls short is you are not able to access the virtual machines in the ESXi host console - you still need another machine to run the vSphere client so you can manage the ESXi host and access the virtual machine.

    It's VERY interesting... even if I got this weird message, once I connected my iPhone and my iPad to the extension of Google, it worked! See all what I automatically in Google Chrome displays in the application of edge inspect on small devices. It's clean! The only problem I see is that Adobe needs to replace the error message with information about the use of the application.

  • Newbie - ESXi Hypervisor v5 but the license question is v4?

    I am a newbie of VMWare, has received licenses for VSphere 4 Enterprise Plus and VCenter Server 4.

    As a result, I went to the site web download ESXi 4.1 vmware.com hypervisor to install on my Dell of bare metal server.  When you select "Download", it shows a page to download ESXi 5.0.

    From the web since I downloaded 5.0 ESXi hypervisor requires I guess it works with licenses v4 that I registered, but I wanted to confirm that there is backward compatibility.  Or I have to put the hand on ESXi 4.1 hypervisor?

    Thank you.

  • Importance of the guest during the creation of VMS operating system?

    Hello, there is only a top of the option set the operating system invited before you create the virtual machine and I wonder what functions, this actually affects?

    The question that I intend to Win 2008 to Win2008 R2 and I don't see any option to change the guest operating system in Virtual PC settings while it really makes, and is it safe to upgrade anyway?

    The question that I intend to Win 2008 in Win2008 R2 and I don't see any option to change the guest under settings of the virtual computer operating system

    A virtual machine is a translator, sort of.  If you install an operating system on hardware, the OS can interpret and so it will set appropriate for the material.  Given that this is not possible in a virtual machine, you must configure a virtual machine for EXACTLY the operating system that is installed.

    Windows 2008 R2 is not really different from Windows 2008 (other than it's 64-bit ONLY).  But for MOST of OS, you must choose the CORRECT operating system, otherwise you may have problems.  So, for this case install Windows 2008 and then upgrade to R2 (which may have its own problems, because I don't think that there is a way to upgrade for it.  If there is, it should be easy enough.
