  OK, for the windows 2008, try to install the DNS service (Add Server Manager roles) in there... (you cannot point the others it as DNS if it does not act as DNS)

  also in it the IP configuration, set as follows:

  IP 10.1.1.31

  Subnet 255.255.255.0

  Gateway 10.1.1.1

  Primary DNS 10.1.1.31

  203.x.x.35 secondary DNS (you can also add the 203.x.x.36)

  Do the same for your guests to WIndows 7.

  Make sure all are workers and they can ping each other...

  If everything is OK, you should have internet on them...

• Our guests in ESXi running VMWare Workstation can join LAN

  Educaional purposes, I have the following configuration:

  Now, my problem is the following.

  Any isttalled of the virtual machine in VMWare Workstaion can surf the internet and see the other devices connected to the local network. Physical and virualized machines.

  Virtual machines installed in the ESXi peut obtain DHCP from the DHCP server on the local network or physical addresses.

  Virtual machines installed in the ESXi cannot ping the GW, nothing beyond the Gulf war or other machines on the same LAN. BUT they can ping the ESXi...

  For ESXi virtual machine is implemented with bypass and four NIC

  Now, anyone have no idea why my Windows machine gets DHCP but cannot send traffic the other way around? For me t looks like it stops at the level of the ESXi host. But I canoe understand why.

  T.I.A. for your time and help

  Welcome to the community,

  I'm not sure, however it could be related to fashion "Promiscuous" which may need to be enabled. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/287

• I'll be able to run VMware Workstation on Win 2008 Web edition?

  Hi all

  It is my first post so I apologize if this question has been answered before but I have a hard time finding the location of research right and the forum.

  Any help would be appreciated thanks.

  The host is currently a windows Server 2003 with vmware worksation installed... We have a... hp Server will spare...

  TO clarify, you'll move VMware Workstation on a different host?

  They are for example only development as a domain controller to run various bits n bobs in the dev environment.

  If the host is still underway for dev, and you don't mind being in a bit of territory not supported, so go ahead and try.  Download Workstation test and see what happens.  As I said, as far as I KNOW, Web Edition may miss a few things like some of the tools of administration or server roles.  But that will probably not e problem to host virtual machines.

  If there are known issues with VMware workstatsion and web 2008 so that we would have to look at a change in the operating system.

  Beyond the legal bits on not not using Web Edition, for anything other than web hosting, I suppose that you'd be ok.  What is the attitude of your shop to Linux?  Or license Windows 2003 current server, can it be transferred to the HP Server?  (e.g. non - OEM license or volume license.)

• Guest OS VMware Workstation with NAT cannot communicate with the host

  I often run VMware Workstation on an Ubuntu Linux box and the load of virtual machines inside.

  The default is to configure a network card for the NAT, but that NEVER works, I have never no connectivity to the physical network in my guest operating system until I have change the type of the virtual machine network adapter for bridged.

  However, when I install ESXi 4.1 as a VM bridged, he can see the physical network, but VMs decked inside it can not...  I think that if I am NAT to work he'd let me withdraw my guest as oses nested inside BONE that is a host... If this is meaningless to anyone at all network connectivity prompt.

  I could really use help figure this.  I was hitting my head for weeks and led to nothing.

  If you do not know which IP address to use in the case of NAT, I recommend you temporarily enable DHCP on the Windows 7 host and then run "ipconfig/all" to see what it looks like. To configure the IP settings manually, make a note of the settings and set the IP address of one outside the range NAT NETWORK.

• Cannot install the 64-bit guest computer in runing Server ESXi on VMware workstation.

  Help expensive,

  I have my doubts with the installation of Microsoft windows server 2008 64 bit in my ESXi server running on WMware workstation. And my physical OS is windows 7 64 bit.

  When I created guest computer already and I'm starting to be able to on, the followning of pop-up windows and I say Yes. It can start my .iso file but after he boot, says Windows error.

  And it's the screenshot.

  So that means I can't install guest PC 64 bit in my ESXi Server?

  Thank you

  Best regards

  nested support 64 bit on ESXi running on top on workstaiton is not supported. you are better off creating this virtual machine as a virtual machine on my computer...

• Windows 7: VMWare Workstation with XP as a guest.  Problem with SP2.

  On a computer with XP virtual on, I am trying to run SP2.  SP2 is in a file to the host.  SP2 is not XP and trying to change Windows 7.  It fails.  I do not want to load the workstation tools up to what XP SP2.  Maybe I missed something in the manual (excellent!). Solution?

  Without VMware tools, the easiest way would be to create an ISO image that contains SP2 (or better SP3) and transfer this as a CD-ROM drive to the XP VM.

• VMware Workstation with ESX3.5u4 - problems with the virtual machines within ESX3.5u4

  Hello world

  I really need a consultation on this one:

  I'm testing ESX3.5.

  As I don't want to buy any material for now I thought it would be a good idea to test ESX3.5 in my computer.

  I used this model to install ESX3.5 in my computer: http://xtravirt.com/node/100

  ESX3.5 works perfektly in workstation.

  The only problem is that if I create a computer virtual within the VM ESX3.5 works very very slow.

  I searched on the VMware Forum for this problem and found that you need Intel VT enabled to speed things up.

  But I think that my "Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50 GHz, 2000 MHz" should have Intel VT.

  Does anyone have any ideas why my VMs on esx3.5 within the short slow workstation?

  Thank you all in advance for the help!

  Material used:

  ASUS P5B

  Intel Quad Core Q9300

  3 GB RAM

  Intel PRO/100 S-Serveradapter Ethernet

  According to your log file, the external VM using VT - x.  I'm afraid, it's as fast as your nested VMS are going to get.  While I would qualify as slow or even nested VM performance very slow, I'm not sure I'd go so far as "very very slow."  It is perhaps a matter of perception.

• Linux host freezes with 10.0.6 Workstation and Windows 7 comments

  Hello

  
  

  I am now quite desperate because it is really preventing me from doing my job.

  
  

  I deleted Windows and I installed a fresh Kubuntu 14.04.02 (LTS) with 64 bit under my desk. I also installed VMWare Workstation 10.0.6 to run my development machines. I am now having serious problems:

  
  

  Every now and then, my full host is the gel if I'm running a Windows 7 virtualized on my workstation. The mouse only moves very slow and all the windows are very (!) slow response. My CPU monitor list all 4 CPU to 100%. If I managed to open the monitor system (or top on the console), I can see that vmware-vmx and kwin burn most of my CPU resources. If I wait 10 seconds to a minute, the system becomes usable. Now CPU goes down to normal. But as soon as I start to move a window (any one), the thing is happening again.

  
  

  Symptoms in short:

  • HOST: Linux Kubuntu 14.04.02 (x 64) on Intel i5 CPU with 8 GB of RAM and running on SSD (ext4).
  • COMMENTS: Several Windows 7 (x 32) several software running. Assigned 1 CPU and 1 GB of RAM. It comes on several guest computers.
  • Every now and then, all my CPU taking nearly 100% 4. The host CPU is used by vmware-vmx and kwin (used above) processes. Sometimes after 15 minutes, sometimes directly after turning on the prompt. No idea on reason.
  • Host of mouse, Windows, and OS works very very slow.
  • Meanwhile, Windows 7 virtual machine is inactive! Energy saving or screen saver are all off!
  • If I manage to run Taskmanager guests, I don't see an action (sometimes TaskManager itself using 60% of CPU!). Looks to me that the host is down, not comments!
  • My host is running an SSD (256 GB).
  • VM log file does not show something during this phase.
  • VMware.log attached.

  
  

  What I tried:

  • I disabled 'Accelerate 3D' for all my virtual machines.
  • I have re-installed VMWare Tools on the guest computers.
  • I run VMWare workstation with vblank_mode = 0/usr/bin/vmware
  • I recreated the machine with less hardware as possible and recharged the .vmd.
  • I converted to virtual prior to the current format format disk image (VMWare asked me to the front step, I said 'yes').
  • I have inserted a separate network card (NIC) and disabled the network card that is embedded in the BIOS.
  • I disabled the onboard graphics in the BIOS and added a card NVIDIA GeForce 8400 PCIx16 (using NVIDIA binary drivers provided by Kubuntu).
  • I removed the CD-ROM of the virtual, Audio computer, diskettes and any unused material.
  • I have tried using cpulimit strangle vmware-vmx and kwin on my host, but without success. System remains unusable in this situation.

  No success at all.

  Is there anything else I can do to put my environment in a productive state? You can imagine that this always happens in the worst situations :-(

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  I found this page:

  Disqus - Arch Linux becomes insensitive to khugepaged

  It seems that this did the trick!

  I ran (as root):

  never echo >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag

  madvise echo >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag

  Since then, everything works fine. :-)

• Migration from VmWare Workstation to a server solution

  I am running 8 virtual machines of Windows XP inside VMWare Workstation on Windows 2008 (which I use as a workstation) in a box of Quad Core with 8 GB RAM.

  My plan is to move the virtual machines of Windows XP on a separate server and possibly add a bit more to their number. I would also like to migrate the server functions of the current WIn2k8 box on that same server. These functions are the portion of light file, very lightweight SQL server and a few other minor services.

  I am happy with VMWare Workstation and in particular the VMWare Tools application, because it makes the Windows XP virtual machines as reagent as if they were not VMs. It is important that after the migration, the virtual machines are as sensitive as they are now, given that I have would be to connect to them via ethernet to a Vista/Windows 7 machine by any means is the best (Office distance or something else).

  I would like to know what solution I should opt for, I think that the options are either ESX/ESXi (what is the difference here?) - am I right that the best way to buy, as part of VMWare Server or VMware vSphere - 1.x on WIndows Server.

  I have no requirements of availability/redundancy.

  This means that ESX has a management console - what is a Linux kernel, you can perform operations as if you were on a Linux machine.

  ESXi uses a very small SSH server and officially there is no way to interact with the machine on the console - everything is done by outside

  They give the same ESX features no matter what version you use, just to manage that you need to do differently.

  Of course ESX/ESXi works that on some hardware - there is a HCL and also a community supported the list machines that are capable of runnning ESXi, but are not supported by VMware.

  VMware server - can run on practically a Windows y / OS Linux

  Good luck to you ventures!

  Here we have a serious problem.

  We are trying to install the current version of VMWareWS8 (VMware-workstation-full - 8.0.1 - 528992) on windows 7 (acer aspire X 3990).

  During the installation process, an error: impossible to retrieve the installation path

  Error 1314. The specified path %COMMON_DOCUMENTS%\Shared computers virtual is not available

  followed by an another popup to error:

  The MSI 'C:\Users\dafunker\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware_1326209137\vmware workstation.msi' failed

  Error 1314. The specified path %COMMON_DOCUMENTS%\Shared computers virtual is not available

  We have successfully installed the same version of VMWare on the same model of computer (acer aspire X 3990) on windows 7 too, it worked like a charm (even without 'COMMON_DOCUMENTS' set env variable).

  I tried different things:

  -no firewall, no antivirus

  -run as administrator

  -define a valid common env var documents

  None of these things have been successful.

  Hello and welcome

  I'll try this...
  Open regedit as an administrator
  find the key VMware, Inc. - on 32-bit hosts which is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.
  It has a subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\Installer\VMware workstation
  with a DATASTORE_PATH subkey that uses a value like "G:\\shared-vms".

  If you set to a path that fits your needs, the installation can run.

  While you're there... Check the permissions on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.
  VMware Workstation installers like to mess up the permissions for this key
