  Hello, my saver

  Currently, I have an Esxi, but before I used a picture of WMware player to my virtual server and I know, I use Vsphere to work with my 5.1 ESsxi, I just want to know if I can use my VMware Player image in VSphere for Esxi? and if the answer is Yes, how?

  Thanks for your help.

  Right, so use VMware converter to do this as indicated in my previous post.

  Kind regards

• 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

• Migration of VMware player for ESXi strike SCSi problem

  Hello

  I'm just a newbee with VMware.

  First, I installed Centos 6.2 on VMware Player.

  Then I download the Virtual Machine on Esxi5 U1 directory using the VMware client. (not the converter)

  Then I tried to use the VHD with creating new virtual machine on ESXi.

  But I got an error with scsi controller when I turn on the machine verual. (i.e. apparently guest OS cannot handle the controller scsi.)

  I tried all types of (e.g., LS logical parallel) scsi controller in the choice, but all are omitted.

  Is there someone like a solution for this problem.

• ESXi running inside VMware Player

  For pure test purposes, I trying to run VMware ESXi as a virtual machine in VMware Player 3.1.3.

  According to KB article http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1030283 I have to configure my VM as 'Server ESX 4' and the option is available in VMware Player 3.x.

  I don't see any option to configure my VM as suggwested.

• How to convert a Machine of VMWare ESXi 4.0 to run on VMWare Player

  Hi Experts

  I am new to VMWare and need help, we are running ESXi 4.0, I installed on our Windows Server (Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2) the following:

  -VMWare vSphere Client 4.0

  -VMWare vSphere Host Update Utility 4.0

  -VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone

  We have currently x-2 VMS Machines on our server ESXi (ISSDBN01 & ISSSAP), ISSAP installing Windows Server 2008R2 Standard Editon and SAP, I now want to convert this Machine VM (ISSAP) so I can play on / via VMWare Player. My steps were as follows:

  -Turning off the machine that needs conversion

  -Make sure that I am on the parameters users & groups

  -Convert the Machine (ISSSAP) using VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone VM

  Once the conversion is complete it converts a 145 GB file (that is stored on an external hard drive and the machine has x 2 100 GB disks = disk C and data disc), I select the .vmx with VMWare Player (version 3.0.1.11056) file that I use on my laptop (running Windows Vista Business SP2, 4 GB of RAM), but it does not seem to boot up It keeps saying "Windows is loading files", I Googled it and came across someone adding the parameters of the resolution of the .vmx file.

  I'm not sure what to do now that I need to convert this machine as soon as possible, as I have to get a copy of this machine and test upgrades (because the server is going to be broken and most of the parts used for our hosted server); can anyone help me on what steps I must take to ensure that I convert it properly so I can play this machine converted by VMWare Player.

  Thank you very much for any help, much appreciated.

  Concerning

  Kurt Walters

  Hello Kurt.

  I just have a question about my machine converted, is there a best practice or a better way to convert a VM Machine.

  It is really not a good practice. The most important part of the conversion is the correct selection of the controller (as you did) and disk size/commissioning type. The other settings depend on what you want to achieve. After conversion, review the settings of the virtual machine to ensure that everything is as it should be for example (guest operating system, controller, network,...)

  You can also download the latest version of VMware Converter 4.3 which is supported for Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

  Thank you very much for your help is was extremely useful and appreciated.

• Debian Linux Bootloader and VMware Player and Windows 8.1

  I installed VMware on laptop windows 8.1 and begins installation of Debian Linux.

  Warnings about partitions and especially the bootloader potentially make my laptop not boot gave me cold feet so I bypassed the charger installation of.

  At this point Windows system seems to be intact.

  So here's my question. If I come back and install the boot loader, boot linux OS only when I press on play on VMware Player or it will make windows unbootable?

  If the latter, how do I install the bootloader on a USB?

  Hi again, plc775!

  Severe warnings are because the operating system has no idea that it is inside a virtual machine comfortably insulated from the rest of your host.  As long as you created the virtual machine in a pretty normal way (for example, by using the instructions in your other post) and did not have something really unusual (for example, through a physical disk from the host to the virtual machine), hard disk of the virtual machine is quite secluded and the guest is unable to make your host does not start and you can go ahead and install this Bootstrapper on the hard disk of the virtual machine.

  (By the way, I noticed that you post in the forum VMware ESXi 5... I'll make both of your messages on the VMware Player forum, where they will receive a more appropriate audience.)

  See you soon,.

• Installation of snow leopard in VMWare Player

  Hello

  I'm at the end of the help.  I bought a copy of snow leopard from apple, so this is a legitimate copy. I have an intel i7 3770 k processor, 16 GB of ram. I'm eager to try to install snow leopard on my virtual environment machine Iona. Up to now he tells me that I'm unable to install a 64-bit operating system. I have WO Windows 7 works beautifully and is a 32-bit operating system. The main operating system is windows 8 and it's 64-bit.

  If anyone has guides on how to install snow leopard without having to get a dubious copy of a torrent, I would be very grateful. All the world is that so far?

  Pthanks

  VMware does not support the operation of Mac OS X in VMware Player/workstation!  Also, legally virtualisables versions of OS X running in a Virtual Machine cannot be done when done in the Apple brand hardware but when done while running under OS X and for that you have VMware Fusion not VMware Player/workstation (or use ESX/ESXi on Apple brand hardware) you violate Apple's SLA for this product.  So any help can you provided for OS X in this use of the scenarios that it would violate the community VMware operating conditions to do.

• 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.

• No access to the network through VMWare Player

  Hello

  I currently have ESXi as a guest on VMWare Player 3.1.3 on a Ubuntu 10.10 system.

  The ESXi system can access the network very well, but all guests accommodated on ESXi is unable to access the network.

  The guests are usually able to receive DHCP information, but cannot ping (or undertake any other connection) outside. In addition, the ESXi host cannot ping these guests running.

  Is this just a limitation of the software curiously layered? Or is there something I can do to fix this?

  Thank you

• Can I export data store files and import them into VMware Player?

  Hey guys,.

  I was wondering if this outcome is possible?

  I want to create a virtual machine (install the OS and software) and then export the virtual computer to use VMware Player or any viewer VM?

  Currently, I have ESXi 3.5 and can create virtual machines. I'm not able to find a way to simply export the virtual machine. Is this possible? If this isn't the case, I was wondering if it was possible to export the files in the data store, and then copy them to the VMware Player?

  The files in the data store (vmx, vmdk, nvram, vmxf, vmsd, vswp)

  Thank you!!!

  You can use the free VMWare Converter Standalone (available here: http://www.vmware.com/download/converter/). Use your ESX as target and convert the virtual machine to a VMWare Workstation. I've never tried, but I think it will work.

• VMware player 2.5.2 - 156735 and 64 bit comments

  I have a laptop Lenovo T400 with Vista 64-bit, 8GB of RAM and processor Intel Core 2 duo T9800 @2. 93 GHz. I run Linux RH 4.0 AS 64-bit as a guest on her os. I downloaded the 2.5.2 - 156735 VMware Player and installed on Vista 64-bit. No problems so far. I'll build comments of RH Linux AS 4.0 64-bit on another VMware ESXi server and then copy it in Vista and convert it as well as VMware player can see the .vmx file. I've done it before so I don't see any problems so far.

  What I would like to know before proceeding with this combo is that VMware Player 2.5.2 will be able to run the client 64-bit Linux with no problems? Release notes say I should be able to run 32-bit and 64-bit comments about it. However; I noticed in Vista, the Task Manager when I run VMware player, he began as a 32 bit application. If I allocate for example 6 GB of RAM to the guest Linux OS, the player will be able to allocate this memory for the guest operating system, although the player himself is running in 32-bit mode.

  You need support of Intel-VT on your laptop to run 64-bit guests. That of all, do not pay attention to player status.

• Portege R - 400 3 G modem freezes VMWare Player 3.0 in Windows 7

  Hi all

  I have a problem following needs your help.

  I have a Portege R-400 with 3 G build-in modem. It is installed Windows 7. All is well until I install the VMWare Player 3.0.

  Without modem 3G connection, each application still works fine. (I use WiFi most of the time.)

  When I'm not in measure use WiFi and connect with 3G, without starting VMWare Player, the system freezes within 5 to 20 minutes.

  The symptom is without any response to the keyboard and mouse, but can see HD light flashing.

  Then, I'll try Virtual PC from microsoft. He may have the same problem, too.

  It will be very appreciated if there is no solution for this problem.

  Thank you very much!
  Mike

  Dear Mike is a rather complicated question. I mean Toshiba muss well deliver books and work with the factory settings, everything should work fine.
  If you use some third-party software of the part and if something goes wrong, it can be really complicated.

  Who is responsible for support here?
  I hope that someone on this forum has exactly the same specifications, the setting, the operating system and additional software like you and can help you with this.

  The VMware FAQ details the requirements for VMWare.
  
  http://www.VMware.com/products/player/FAQs.html
  
  The processor and RAM already exceed requirements, so it shouldn't have a negative effect on performance. VMWare Player will not affect on real hardware. This depends on the version of Linux used because it must be enough RAM for the host (Windows 7 64-bit) operating system and the guest OS (Linux). 4 GB of RAM should be plenty for the operating systems run, but you can find some RAM intensive programs may have reduced performance. For most programs, this shouldn't be a problem.
  
  Other virtualization technologies require virtualization is enabled in the BIOS. However, the FAQ does not mention this. If this does not work and you receive an error on activation, then enable it in the BIOS.

• You want to know how VMware player has demonstrated in supporting printer HP LJ P1100w USB devices for example.

  Original title: VMWARE Player, what went right?

  All of a sudden, VMWare Player [Win XP it] recognized and installed my printer HP LJ P1100w.  This, after being informed by them, by phone, that this freebie version does not support any usbs in addition to human and internal interface.  So, I decided to try to install my Deskjet 5400. I got a download HP upgrade package, uninstalled the existing software and Lo! VM has ask me to cut the host device and install it. Test page printed.

  What I want to know, since I can't get the response from VMWare, is how is it? There have not been updated for ages.
