• Problem running under vmware player .iso file

  How to run a file .osi on VMware player, or at least how to convert a .iso file to be able to run under VMware player?

  You can try this step to see if you can install the new computer using the file .iso with VMware Player http://linhost.info/2008/12/create-a-virtual-machine-from-an-iso-with-vmware-player/ and you know VMware Server 2.0 is free and gives you options to create the ideal machine for laboratory rather than using VMware Player?

• 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.

  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.

• Lose the snapshots created by vmware fusion when running in vmware player?

  Hi all

  At home I have VMWare Fusion on a Mac and have created a lot of photos;

  Unfortunately I'm away and stay with a friend who has that VMWare Player.

  I'll lose all the clichés that I created if I run my last VM at his computer, whereas VMWare Player have the ability to single snapshot?

  Thank you

  No, you won't lose the snapshots. However, you will not be able to manage, so the virtual machine will run the latest snapshot (and grow this hard snapshot file).

• Backing up a virtual computer running on vmWare player

  Hello

  In about a month, I run an IT project for a conference and to do this, I'll take with me my conference server, which is a virtual machine (Windows 2008 r2) usually run on an ESXi. To export it, I did a V2V and put it on a laptop. Everything works fine. However in removing my ESXi I lose the ability to snapshoting it. This virtual machine will be led by VM Player.

  In addition, to reduce the risk, I bought the same laptop in case of crash of the first. Now, I would like to find a way to snapshot or backup my VM without having to turn it off or to suspend what is impossible for me at the time of the Conference.

  Does anyone of you has an idea on how I could do this?

  Thanks for your help!

  Welcome to the community,

  even if a snapshot is NOT a backup, I suggest that you get a copy of VMware Workstation, allowing to create snapshots.

• 64-bit in ESXi running in Vmware Workstation machines

  Hi all

  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W510 with an i7 processor.

  I have Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit as OS for my vmware Workstation 7.1.3 (64-bit), I install ESXi 4.1 as a virtual machine in my machine and now start importing the VM since my ESX datacenter (you want to use what I already create in data centre infrastruture in my laptop)

  I was very surprised, inside my ESXi 4.1 it says when I try to start a Windows Server 2008 R2 or trying to create an image of the installation CD to:

  msg.cpuid.noLongmodeQuestionFmt: this Machine vistual is configured for 64-bit systems Nailer quest. However, exploitation of 64-bit is not possible. This host does not support VT for more information, see http://vmware.com/info?id=152. Continue support 64 - bit wihout?

  Any thing I can change or change to make it work?

  Thank you

  Paulo

  You can't execute nested invited 64bits.  Autoprogramming comments any64bit hardware assisted virtualization must be enabled (VT-x/AMD-v). When you run ESX (i) as a guest, it is not possible to passdown technology.

  In conclusion, you can run 32-bit clients nested

• 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

• CentOS 7 in VMWare Player 7 bug report

  Hello

  Don't know if this is the right place to post so please let me know if I'm in the wrong place, but I've been hit problems with VMWare Player 7 installation of CentOS and Ubuntu:

  I had several problems with anything CPU intensive while trying to set up a CentOS 7

  Workstation inside VMWare Player 7.  This is a new KDE workstation installation out of the box

  with maven installed via yum.  The system has been fully updated via # yum update.

  This problem happens every time I try to compile Apache spark 1.1.0 with maven.  However, it seemed

  be the case with other applications, including the GNOME desktop.  I tried the MATE as office

  Well and still have the problem.

  Environment:

  Host:

  VMWare Player 7.0.0 build-2305329

  Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit 6.1.7601, Service Pack 1

  4 core CPU AMD64

  16 GB OF RAM

  Comments:

  CentOS-7, 0-1406-x86_64 (installation of KDE)

  2 carrots

  ~ 11 GB of RAM (tried with different values)

  HARD DRIVE 60 GB

  A CPU intensive causes this deadlock.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1 install CentOS-7, 0-1406

  2 $ sudo yum install maven

  3 update of $ sudo yum

  4 Download spark 1.1.0 Apache sources of http://spark.apache.org/downloads.html and uncompress

  5 $ cd spark - 1.1.0

  $6 export MAVEN_OPTS = "" - Xmx2g - XX: MaxPermSize = 512 M - XX: ReservedCodeCacheSize = 512 m ""

  $7 mvn - Pyarn - Phadoop - 2.2 - Dhadoop.version = 2.2.0 - DskipTests clean package

  Finally, the machine hangs, and a hard reset is required.

  I don't know if it's a question of CentOS, a core issue or, more likely, a matter of VMWare Player.

• Detects the Wndows 7 + VMWare player + USB

  My host OS is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, and my version of VMware player 5.0.2 build-1031769

  My problem USB devices cannot be connected to any guest OS running on VMware player.

  I tried CentOC 6buttons, Ubuntu 9.04 Ubuntu 12.04.

  the device icons are displayed top-right corner of the virtual machine, but when I right click-> Connect (disconnect form host)

  After a while "peripheral USB [Flash Drive] can not be connected device error" is appear.

  Device does not work correctly when it is connected to the host computer. It also detects and works fine when I connected to a

  virtual machine running on the Windows XP host.

  I spent a day hole in internet research. Please give let me know how to solve this problem.

  It seems that no one can give me a solution, anyway I solved the problem of upgrading my version of VMware player to 6.0.0 build-1295980

• VMWare Player 5.0

  I have a laptop windows 7, which has a wireless connection to the corporate network. I can access the internet and the internal network without a problem.

  On this laptop, I have a machine virtual windows 7 running in VMWare Player 5.0. I'm trying to access internet/network of this virtual machine.

  If I use NAT, the internet connection works fine but I only have access to the internal network if I use the IP address, not the UNC name.

  No idea why it is and how can I fix?

  Thank you

  Well, your DNS running on the virtual machine. You do not need to change the DNS settings, since your NAT works as a DNS proxy and will forward DNS queries to DNS servers known by the host system.

  For your problem of suffix: you must configure the default suffix of systems. With windows 7 do where you change your ComputerName:

  Right-click computer-> properties-> change settings-> change of name-> change-> more-> default dns suffix entry.

  If I choose to all scripts running on the page setup dies and leaves an empty window empty.

  and if I say no the same thing happens.

  Thanks in advance

  The first thing I would do is to validate the file downloaded against the MD5 checksum or SHA1 published and if it matches then clean the contents of the file folder and try to reinstall.

  If you still have a question I want to manually extract the contents of the installer downloaded and then manual installation of the "vmware player.msi" file (Windows Installer Package).  Note: The .msi extension is hidden by default.

  Use the following as an example of how to manually extract the files from the downloaded installer.

  VMware-player-3.1.3-324285.exe /extract c:\vmplayer.tmp
  

  For additional command line options, run:

  VMware-player-3.1.3-324285.exe /?
