Excessive I/o, Ubuntu Maverick, guest host of Windows 7, both are 32-bit

Hi all.

I've invited Windows 7 SP1 (with the latest updates) installed on a virtual machine hosted on Ubuntu Maverick. The hosts and guests are 32-bit operating systems. When the customer is running the system carries out a large number of e/s (the LED of the disc is very bright) same for answers and small farms slowly. Doing something heavier, such as from Visual Studio or MS Expression Blend inside the guest takes about 5 minutes. Opening a XAML file or build my solution also takes enormous amount of time.

I cloned the virtual HD and he ran under VirtualBox, and it does not display these problems, then I think that the problem is somewhere in the configuration of the VMWare VM. I would like to take advantage of ability of VMWare to accelerate 3D graphics, so I have to stay with VMWare. Everyone experienced these problems? All solutions?

Some info from the host:

Core i5 520M

4 GB of RAM (I have a PAE kernel, then he can access all this)

Ubuntu Maverick (10.10)

Hard drive 500 GB, 4500 RPM. A 277 GB free.

News comments:

2 virtual processors

2 GB of RAM

100 GB virtual hard drive (not not previously assigned)

An another 10 GB, preallocated virtual hard disk for the windows swap file

I also added advanced options that I saw in another site, which may solve the problem, but they did not help (and has not done anything worse still too). You can find them at the end of the VMX file attached.

Oops - you're right - I misread
numvcpus = 2
cpuid.coresPerSocket = 2

If you had 4 cores,

numvcpus = 4
cpuid.coresPerSocket = 2

on the reduction...

a vmdk healthy does not have one of this entries in a vmware.log

READ command (10) took 3,246 seconds (ok)
READ command (10) took 3,206 seconds (ok)

  • What support VMware Windows 7 as a guest host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system operating system?

    People,

    Hello.

    Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 and cannot dual boot multiple operating systems. I need to install VMware in Windows 7 host and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

    I installed VMware Server 2.0.2 in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 operating system as a guest host. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333 / IU cannot display more.

    I found that Windows 7 is not a host for VMware Server 2 and strange operating system might happen at any time. I found that 'VMware Player 3' is fully supported in Windows 7 as host operating system but is not taken in charge of Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

    People knows what product VMware Windows 7 support as host operating system and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system prompted?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    IMHO, I think that Workstation is the vmware product just for you, the requirements

    It supports Windows 7 as a facilitator and Windows 2003 as a host with no problems. You can be confident about it at 100%.

    Best wishes / Saludos.

  • Can't access cd rom drive / in guest host rather Windows - open records

    I can open more cd drives in my Win XP commentsapplications instead they appear in the host. I was trying to backup Quicken in the comments on a cd as I've always done on the cd rom drivedrive D, but kept to error message "Please choose another location. This drive is read-only. When I put in a new blank disc, my host found iMac drive instead - a popup window said that I inserted a blank disc and he asked me what I wanted to do with him (open I-Tunes, etc.). When I went on the D drive in my computer and double click on the D drive icon, it says: "Please insert a disc into drive D" if she does not see the blank disc that was still in the drive. Instead, I found the icon of blank disk on the desktop of the host and may open in the host. So it seems that the cd rom in the guest drive is be outstripped by the host. I tried to uninstall the cd rom drive in the comments Device Manager and rebooted the prompt. He finds the "new hardware" and reinstalled the drive, but I still having the same problem accessing it. The car worked well in the comments before, I don't understand what happened.

  • The host of windows 7, Linux on a virtual machine as a guest

    Greetings:

    I want to install Virtual box with Linux as a guest on my laptop with windows 7 ultimate.

    I have almost 2 GB of Ram.

    I have to consider at least 512 MB for ubuntu.

    What is a locked memory? in other words, even when I don't use VB with linux as a guest, host system can still not use full 2 GB of RAM?

    also when I use (windows 7 ultimate) host and guest (ubuntu), I might add to virtual memory to keep the machine running slowly?

    and one last question, then the installation of Virtual box I lose the internet connection after installing, everything will be fine? no problems?

    The fast network (vmxnet module) device driver is used only for our quick

    network interface. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is

    designed to operate independently of this function.

    If you want the active fast network driver, you can install the driver

    by running vmware-config - tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils,

    brand and your kernel sources are installed on your

    machine. These packages are available on the installation of your distribution CD.

    Complete generation failure report was attached.

    Any ideas when we have an updated which will build on the latest kernel WMWare tools or how can I fix?

    Necator americanus-NB https://bugs.Launchpad.NET/Ubuntu/ source/open-vm-tools /bug/598542

    Experience, both VMWare and Parallels tend to do updates to their tools to release the release of these operating systems is set up.

    There is also a chance that the version of the kernel or X may be updated as new builds of Ubuntu 10.10 become available. I guess that they do not want to spend time to update tools and then find two weeks they need to do it again.

    If your spending a lot of time using UNIX/Linux product beta, I would recommend running VirtualBox for those, as the tools are updated more quickly. Just be sure to not try and run a VirtualBox VM and a VMWare Fusion virtual machine at the same time - you will get a Mac OS x kernel panic.

  • Free virtualization software takes supported Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system?

    People,

    Hello. I need to install the Windows 7 host virtualization software, and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

    VMware Workstation supports Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system, but it's not free download.

    People know that supports virtualization software free Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system invited?

    Thanks in advance.

    As I said in your previous post, VMWare Player is a free download and does not support Win7 as host and Win2k3 as a guest.  VMWare Player is also included with VMWare Workstation, you can imply that most of the time something that supports VMWare Workstation as a guest operating system is also a guests supported for the reader.

    And unlike previous versions, player 3 includes the ability to create virtual machines base.  For many people, especially those who are starting just in virtualization, player is sufficient.

    VMWare Workstation, although not free, can be installed as a 30 day trial.  After the trial, you can not start your virtual machines in my computer, but because the player is included in the installation, you can still run your virtual machines in the drive without having to uninstall anything.  So just install Workstation.  After the trial expires, if you wish that the advanced features of the workstation, then buy it.  If not, just continue to use the drive.

  • Migration to a linux guest hosted on GSX 3.2.1 to ESX 4.0 host environment.

    Hello

    I currently intend to migrate a CentOS 5.2 Guest hosted on GSX 3.2.1 to our new ESX 4.0 environment.

    The computer invited CentOS uses a HDD IDE instead of SCSI.

    Issues related to the:

    1. What do I have to convert the IDE drive first before migrating using guided Consolidation tool? Because the administration Server admin guideESX guide does not cover this for ESX 4.0...

    1.1 is ESX 4 Supprt IDE drive for virtual guests?

    2. I tried to use this document to convert http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1881 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 54840823 & stateId = 0% 200% 2054844788

    However when that I start the system, I get a "Kernel Panic" error.

    Someone can help me.

    See you soon,.

    Unlike ESX3.x, ESX4 supports virtual IDE drives, so you should not have to convert the disc before. I recommend using the free VMware Converter standalone (or if you have vCenter converter integrated company) to import the virtual machine to an ESX Server.

  • Stop error SCSI/RAID Host Controller Windows 7 upgrade

    Hey, I hope someone can help me here. I get the following error message when you try to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Vista Home Premium 64-bit:

    The upgrade of Windows will affect the following programs or devices:

    These devices may not work properly after the upgrade. Before the upgrade, we recommend that you update the drivers for those devices. Cancel the upgrade, open the control panel and search for "update device drivers" or go to the website of the manufacturer of the device to search for updated drivers.

      • Storage controllers: SCSI/RAID Host Controller

    Upgrade Advisor does not list the problem but I agreed to look for updates during the installation and he did then. My computer. is a HP Pavilion Slimline s3650f model.

    Upgrade Advisor listed issues were:

    -Hardware Diagnostic tools - update available (the latest version of Vista 64 bit is installed. "I think I can wait until Windows 7 is installed to update, right?)

    -Labelprint (version 2.2.2913 came pre-installed on my computer. I Sure Thing CD Labeler so I can uninstall if necessary, but I doubt that would be the problem)

    -Photosmart C4500 (DOT4PRINT) - status: unknown (I have the C4599 printer and a search on the windows Compatibility Center site 7 it lists as compatible.) I'll check the updates of driver after upgrade).

    I Lavalys Everest Ultimate Edition and did some looking into my COMP specs... I'm sure you guys have not need all this information, but I prefer to give too much information than not enough.
    I'll start by providing 3 pictures the computer on my computer summary:

    http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/5358/biosinfo.jpg

    I did a search on the support of Microsoft answers forum and found some people HERE (I've posted there but nobody answered me. This is an old thread. I'll start a new if necessary.) saying updated their BIOS got rid of this message, but I installed 5.18 version (as well as from 06/2008 & later on the site of HP in 2008-09. Could it be the cause?)

    However, as you can see there is a link to upgrade the BIOS in Everest that takes you to esupport.com which you install biosagentplus and offer a free scan.
    Here are pictures of my results:

    Also, I followed the download link for the BIOS to asus.com looking for some info but finds it difficult to find anything. Maybe I'm in the right place.

    I don't have a method further up until I get some other opinions on the situation. Is it possible that a program is causing this problem or is it really a hardware problem?

    I would add also on an attempt to upgrade it has no force to leave me and tried to install. In my opinion, he got completely installed and got to the final reboot but it gave an error that it could not be installed and rolled back to Vista.

    If more info is needed please ask. I hope that someone has ideas. If this isn't the case, I can try the Microsoft forum.

    Well, I finally got upgraded to Windows 7 just now here and my boy I feel like a fool d * n. I unplugged my external hard drive, uninstalled my printer and other external usb devices and was about to start uplugging my tuner TV, graphics card, thinking that one of them was the problem, then I uninstalled Alcohol 120% and poof, the SCSI/RAID host controller error disappeared. Also just to be sure, that I uninstalled Kaspersky Internet Security to ensure that it would not interfere with the installation and reinstalled after.

    Still a lot of things to study but most of the time. The only problem I've come across so far is the HP Solution Center detects no not my printer. I printed a test page, there is work. I do not know if the program just needs updating or if I need to uninstall and reinstall the software, but it shouldn't be a major issue anyway.

    So far the system running much more quickly than before and I'm loving the new features. I will continue to pick up my pride on the floor that I check things and remind anyone that gets this issue uninstall Alcohol or Daemon Tools, if they are installed.
