Freezing of construction-2496824 VMWare Workstation 11.1.0

Hello

I have a Windows 7 x 64 using Workstation 11.1.0 host (assessment of the trial).  I have a Windows 8.1 Pro x 64 running virtual machine.  It is the only virtual machine running.  A few minutes after starting the virtual machine, the virtual machine and the Workstation locks.

I do Ctrl + Alt + Delete and open the host Task Manager.  VMware.exe is always 25% of the CPU (I have a Core i7-4600U, so there are 4 cores with hypertheads).  VMware - vmx.exe CPU usuage varies.  My only option is to kill the process vmware.exe.  Then, the host runs normally.  To run the windows 8.1 host once again, I have to restart the computer, as it says the prompt is used.

When the computer restarts normally that's fine.  But this time he started running slow after a minute.  I opened the windows Task Manager.  Once it is open (after 10 minutes) I found that the CPU utilization was only 1% or more.  After 10 or 15 minutes of looking around, I started to kill the VMware processes.  After that I took some to the host ran normally.  It's working normally now.

The issue of freezing happened 4 or 5 times in two or three days.  When I kill computer vmware.exe always goes back to normal.

I did a few things like proactive:

(1) add folder VM to the exclusion list antivirus, windows search, exclusion of our backup software list exclusion list.

(2) remove the floppy and CD drive from the list of virtual machine hardware.  I read that could cause a hang upwards.

The event log does not contain something interesting.   I have attached all newspapers of vmware, I have for the machine virtual windows 8.1.

Any suggestions on what I can do next to try to solve this further?

The host is not lock it just the vmware workstation app.  I wanted to clarify that.

Other than the VM Pro 8.1 Windows only other VM I have is Windows XP Mode.  I started the XP Mode VM and it has always worked very well after having worked in the virtual machine for an hour.  I then restarted the VM of Windows 8.1 and three minutes later, he locked and workstation.  I see two vmware - vmx.exe treated one to 25% CPU usage in Task Manager (I presume VM Windows 8.1) and the other with barley any use of CPU (likey XP Mode).  Vmware.exe also has 25% CPU usage as before.

I'm in the resource monitor and to suspend the process vmware - vmx.exe which uses 25% cpu and now a workstation and the XP Mode VM work properly.  I then clicked on 'stop' the machine virtual windows 8.1 and has resumed the vmx process.  VM stop the 8.1 Windows workstation with success.  Workstation and the XP Mode VM still work normally.

So certainly issue between the workstation and the machine virtual windows 8.1 but I am not a guru vm or work station, so I can't determine what is the question.

Edit

Repeat the question.  Is a wait analyze on vmware.exe chain in resource monitored and must wait on himself: "one or more threads to vmware.exe wait to finish i/o network." and "vmware.exe PID XXXX 6208" Thread.  So some kind of blocking of the thread?  When I suspend the vmware - vmx.exe running to my VM of Windows 8.1 then the vmware.exe CPU usage goes to 0%. But the wait vmware.exe watch chain still he waits on itself with the same message as above.  I then return to the vmware-vmx process and the CPU goes up to 25%.

I can fix things without killing the process vmware or vmx suspend windows 8.1 vmx process, use windows 7 taskbar live preview for click shutdown (square button) and then resume the vmx process.  At that point the 8.1 windows vm shutsdown immediately and the workstation (with the xp mode vm) is operating normally.

He has worked to find a few days but starting to give me this problem.

Edit2

OK problem solved I think.  Our IT technician installed Malwarebytes Anti-malware over another anti-virus/anti-malware program.   Which was causing the computer to 'lock' (run slow but cpu was near 0% so desire ' cpu loading) during start, sounds a different problem than what I saw, but it may affect both workstation.  Also my VMs used NAT so I tried to switch to bridged and disabled the NAT and DHCP service.  Featured two fewer services to run.  Don't know which of those (if any) was causing the problem, but after those changes it works (for the most part very well).

We have vmware tools installed on all of our virtual machine. We aren't on a network of single private from the internet so it didn't there virtually no chance that I would be allowed to get the newspaper.

      1. Unknown problem

    During the execution of our virtual machine, we'll do the normal work (construction of an Oracle database) and then exit no where the screen freezes.  When this happens, it may be 30 sec, up to 5 minutes or more before the screen becomes available. developers discovered question b/c they could get kicked from the server (ssh); and then she started to occur frequently on the console as well. I have a monitor server that I use to ping the machine while it hangs and when I ping the ip address of the virtual machine that freezes up, it will return the host is unreachable, then all of a sudden the ping works, and life resumes. I have not all snapshot settings or anything like that set up.

    The first looking through discussions, we thought it was our problem mounting NFS or the time sync issue b/n host and VM, we very well those who listen now, but nothing helped.

    -One of our colleagues believe it might have something to do with the use of multiple processors, instead he Recon using a proc by VM and a carrot...

    Question: what I read, in the best practices of VMware, we should be good, but do not know why we freeze all the time. Help, please.

  • Installation of VMWare Workstation 11 freezes with gray screen!

    Hello

    I know this is a very known issue, but difficult to solve, I can't install VMWare Workstation V11 (tried with the old version 8, the same) since as soon as I click Setup, I have a gray screen and installation seems suspended it.

    Tried the same thing with VMWare Player, same result, even with older versions...

    No way to close the gray screen, unless you kill the process.

    My case is laptop Thinkpad T510, native W7 64-bit, processor Intel i5, 4 GB ram, Java utility installed and 100% updated, Nvidia GPU, nothing strange.

    Microsoft Security essential only running, no other AV or firewall...

    I tried to save two files reading autour on this community, but this does not solve the problem.

    I see not what is a well known problem and it is absurd does not have a way to solve it on VMWare...

    Any help is very appreciated!

  • using the VMware workstation 100% disc

    Hi all

    I have amd multi-purpose 8350 with 12 GB of ram and 1 TB hard drive (no ssd). I created a few 10 vms and when I try to start few of them suddenly disk use increases to 100%. I turn them all at the same time, I give some time between each vm poweron. Always the same problem occurs. In addition, even after some time, after activating my vms, same problem occurs. on my windows host computer, the use of the disc is 100% most of the time. because of this my vmware workstation crashes and I am not able to do anything. I have to wait until the use of the disc is free again. I disabled windows search on my host machine, but no luck.

    I added the lines on all my machines virtual vmx files but no use.


    MemTrimRate = '0 '.

    mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

    sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

    prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.


    Can someone help me out here?


    Thank you

    Hi Shawn,

    Thank you for your response...

    At start-up, if it's slow, it's fine. But it happens all of a sudden, even when I'm working. When it freezes, I can't do anything. Just count numbers to kill some time... I have to wait until he's back to normal and I donno when it happens.

    While I was looking on the internet, someone posted on an Internet site that disabling superfetch-bit, and windows update services can reduce disk performance. I'm 100% sure they are stopped on my windows host computer. So, I disabled the. But I was really surprised to see the performance of disk after I disabled the services. Now, I have a lag for a few seconds and that occurs only when I start the vms system. After that they are running no problem at all. I donno why a stopped service would cause such an impact. Subsequently, if I do not have a service, I turn it off, turn it off.

    Finally, after you turn off the 3 services, I have no problem.

    Thank you

  • Core upgraded to 4.0 on Centos 7 VMWare Workstation 11 won't build the virtual network device

    As shown in the topic, I have manually compiled kernel 4.0 for my installation of CentOS 7. After the installation of the kernel (in rpm mode, followed the instructions here: How to compile a Kernel - The Way CentOS ) installed all 3 rpm, kernel, kernel-headers and kernel-devel and then tried to start my installation of workstation with it leads to having to re - build the components (as usual)

    It does not, when it came to the compilation of the network management module. See attached log file that it generated.

    I also tried to uninstall, downloaded VMware-Workstation-Full - 11.1.0 - 2496824.x86_64.bundle and re-installed with the same result.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    I just found a solution:

    1. CD/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
    2. CP vmnet.tar vmnet.tar.bak
    3. tar - xvf vmnet.tar
    4. VI vmnet-only/filter.c
    5. replace all the entries with - #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE > = KERNEL_VERSION (3, 13, 0) to #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE > = KERNEL_VERSION (3, 10, 0) and save the file.
    6. tar vmnet.tar - uvf vmnet-only
    7. RM - r vmnet-only.
    8. VMware-modconfig - console - install-all

    • Fedora is not a host for VMware Workstation/Player-supported operating system.  Note that although not officially supported as a host nevertheless operating system I run it under Fedora 20, but with the stock kernel.
    • I do not think that the 3.13.4 kernel is still supported, even on a supported host OSes.
  • VMware Workstation 10.0.1 and Windows 7 VM crash on CentOS 6.5 host

    Just upgraded to 6.5 CentOS 64-bit (2.6.32 - 431.el6.x86_64). After the updates and reboot I launched VMware Workstation 10.0.1 as I normally and began my OpenVPN (Wheezy Debian) VM with all the problems. I then started my Windows 7 64-bit VM and the entire army what OS hangs and I have to reboot using the reset button.

    I was able to reproduce twice in a row. The Windows 7 VM seems to start fine and then when I type my credentials in and it starts to load the office which is when everything goes south and the host completely freezes.

    The Windows 7 VM has nothing too complicated installed in it. Some Epson software to start uTorrent and printer in network at startup. Steam does as well, but it is not auto-login or do anything really.

    I just did some testing of synthetic load and covered all 8 cores (much more than the usual load) up to 24 GB, 32 GB of RAM and 50% of CPU on the host computer and things remained stable. I thought that a second question could be RAM related because after a soft on boot the Windows 7 VM running I am to about 7 GB of RAM used on the host computer and from the WIndows 7 VM would put me over 8 GB, which resembled a number of nice where things might go wrong If it is RAM related.

    It is a dupe of VMware Workstation - 10.0.1 fails after the software update from RedHat-6.

  • Another VMWare Workstation Fedora 19 x 64 wire

    I tried for 2 weeks almost to install vmware player or vmware workstation 10.1 6 on fedora 19 x 64

    The process I followed was simply by downloading the file from the vmware website, run it, then run the application.

    It starts fine with no errors, but when I try to start a virtual machine the following error message indicates:

    Unable to open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory. Please ensure that the "vmmon" kernel module is loaded.

    and then displays this error:

    Could not initialize the surveillance apparatus.

    and this:

    Cannot change the power state of VM: internal error

    So after searching around, I tried to build modules with


    VMware-modconfig - console - install-all

    But it fails with the following error message.

    .......

    make [1]: 'postgeneration' is up-to-date.

  • VMware Workstation 9: could not open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory

    I'll have a plethora of problems installing and get VMware Workstation 9 (9.0.2 build-1031769) to work on Ubuntu 13.04 (kernel 3.8.0 - 26-generic).

    I experienced exactly the same process on my laptop and it works perfectly, while on the desktop, it seems that everything breaks. Could someone give me some kind of help / advice on how I can do to get this working. I tried full uninstall / reinstall of the software, headers of the kernel, kernel images, different kernels, patches here on fresh installs of everything I can think of. Here are the issues I encounter in the order of importance (or so I think):

    (1) whenever I try to open my new (and virtual) machine, I get the error sequence of:

    "Could not open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory. " Please make sure that the "vmmon" kernel module is loaded. '--> 'Failed to initialize the device monitor. "->" cannot change the power state of VM: could not find a valid peer to connect to '


    (2) every time I try to run the following command to configure the modules on a completely fresh setting (reinstalled kernel, vmware) I get the following output:

    sudo modconfig vmware - console - install-all

    Stopping VMware services:

    Demon of authentication makes VMware

    VM communication interface socket family is

    Virtual machine communication interface is

    Virtual machine monitor makes

    (3) I often get the Ubuntu "this program has planted" messages on "/ usr/lib/vmware-installer/2.1.0/vmis-launcher" "' (this message of crash always occurs when you run the"vmware-modconfig"above command on a new installation.

    (4) at different times during Assembly and have VMware workstation on my system I get Ubuntu hangs on "/ usr/lib/vmware/bin/appLoader" and even "/ bin/su" (especially when you are trying to install - su NEVER blocks anywhere else).

    Thoughts / ideas on what is happening on earth / what could have caused this all go so downhill / how to go about fixing?

    Thank you

    Solved.

    The problem is that for another program I used gcc - 4. 4 instead of later. Restore the (by update-alternatives - config ) for gcc, g ++ and CPC - bin.

    Not a very graceful exit to have a version not valid I would say, maybe some sort of basic check could be added to ensure that the correct versions are present?

  • (Beginner) of the initial steps for the new installation of vmware workstation & guest os

    Hi, very new for the virtual machine. I need help on what type of software (vmware), need and the first steps of the installation.

    Current configuration: a portable 3 separate HD, 1 computer = Windows 7, 2 = XP, 3 is Linux RH. I have manually swap HD to work on each operating system.

    Req: A laptop with Windows 7 as main OS and two other OS (XP and Linux) Guest.

    (1) I prefer not to install OS and the entire application again for the guest operating system (XP and linux), will like to convert, copy, etc.

    (2) can I install multiple OS (XP) for testing of applications and then delete them?

    (3) can I use a different version of an application in a guest operating system?

    The software that I need to buy:

    VMware workstation 7.1

    Version of the converted VMware?  (this may be free, I think)

    ThinApp 4. ???

    If these are vmware software that I need is a step by step installation, in particular of the convert.

    Thank you, ralph

    Hi Raoul,.

    Welcome to the forums.

    VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is a free download that is accessible to everyone, so you can use it to convert your existing machines.

    For testing purposes, you can create a virtual machine "or" with all standard applications, and then use the function 'linked-clone"of the workstation. In this way, you can have several machines quickly with the same basic configuration to test different applications.

    It is more complicated to have multiple versions of the same application in a single virtual machine. ThinApp seems to be the solution, but it should require the application packages (I have no experience with ThinApp) construction. It's a bit complicated just to test. Way the easiest would be to create a new virtual machine for each version of the application.

    Workstation and the converter are very easy to install if you use a standard configuration.

    Good luck.

    Concerning

  • VMware Workstation 7 crashes on Windows XP SP3

    Hello

    When I run VMware Workstation 7 on my pc, it freezes even if I do not run any machine.

    I can't close it, or end the task by the Task Manager (as it also crashes).

    I need to force close down using the power button.

    My pc specs are:

    Windows XP SP 3

    Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 CPU @ 2 .66GHz

    2 GB of RAM

    Address extension physical (it freezes with and without PAE)

    I should mention that it worked in the past. It happened last week.

    Any idea?

    Dan

    Dan,

    have you installed anything new or updates (Windows update, virus scanning modes, rules of firewall,...)

    As a first step, try to disable the firewall and anti-virus. If this allows to check their records.

  • Can not take new snapshot or manage old snapshots VMware Workstation 6.5.1

    I had a stable system of VMware Workstation 6.0 for a long time. I upgraded to 6.5.1 several months ago and it has not been stable. The last symptom is that I can't manage existing snapshots or create new images. The log file of the user interface indicates there is a fault of locking a file. I've gone through the other suggestions of the VMware community, but these have not helped.

    Environment:

    The host is Windows XP SP3 + updates

    Guest is Windows XP SP3 + updates

    VMware Workstation 6.5.1 build 126130

    Symptoms leading to the situation:

    Turn comments off

    VM > overview > Snapshot Manager

    Take a snapshot

    Delete one before (old snapshot)

    Wait a while, the bar of progression and GUI finally indicates success

    Delete an another prior (old snapshot)

    Wait a long time, progress bar freezes, the host OS Task Manager shows process VMware is inadmissible

    Click on the upper right corner, 'X' in the Snapshot Manager to close the application, Windows gives error inadmissible usual cancel or continue, cancel selected

    Windows offers to send symptom information to Microsoft for the diagnosis

    Restart the host operating system

    Start VMware, power reviews (it powers on OK)

    Repeat the mistake (VMware Snapshot Manager crashes on delete old snapshot)

    Restart the host operating system

    Consider the suggestions in the community of VMware Workstation, suggestions are to delete the .lck or .lck files for comments, run chkdsk

    A ran CHKDSK D: /F /R (no problem found)

    Renamed all .lck files in the folder structure customer (renowned specific folders follow below)

    Start VMware powered reviews, case comments (it starts very well)

    Watch VMware directory, confirm that there is no new .lck files/folders

    Use VMware Snapshot Manager, try to take pictures or delete old snapshot - both fail, suspended process, must cancel

    Here is an excerpt of "UI current log file" (C:\Documents and Settings\gperkins. MERITER\Local Settings\Temp\vmware-gperkins\vmware-gperkins-2268.log)

    Apr 16 14:27:57.853: vmui | File unexpected error updating cache snapshot of Foundry of blocking: the file is already in use

    Here is a list of old .lck files that I renamed (within each are .lck files which are not renamed):

    D:\vmware\WinXP VA33100XP\Delete-me2-Windows XP Professional.vmx.lck

    D:\vmware\WinXP VA33100XP\Delete - me - Windows XP Professional - 000001.vmdk.lck

    D:\vmware\WinXP VA33100XP\Delete - me - Windows XP Professional - 000002.vmdk.lck

    D:\vmware\WinXP VA33100XP\Delete - me - Windows XP Professional - 000003.vmdk.lck

    D:\vmware\WinXP VA33100XP\Delete-me-Windows XP Professional.vmdk.lck

    D:\vmware\WinXP VA33100XP\Delete-me-Windows XP Professional.vmsd.lck

    D:\vmware\WinXP VA33100XP\Delete-me-Windows XP Professional.vmx.lck

    Any advice/suggestions would be welcome.

    With the VM power off and out the VMware Workstation (close the app) try to remove the *.lck files

    Now start Workstation and see if you still have questions
