• VMware Workstation 7 - comments cannot connect to the host computer

  My problem is compounded by the fact that I've upgraded to VMware 7 and added several virtual Win7 64 virtual machines at the same time so I don't know what (or who) is causing the problem.

  I have 2 host computers running Windows XP 64 and VMware 7.  Firewall is turned off on all real and virtual computers and antivirus software disabled to facilitate debugging.

  I can 'see' host an extra to my network of machines, but I can't connect any virtual machine (Win XP 64 or Windows 7 64) to the drives or folders in a. host Virtual Machines of all the flavors to host B (as can host B himself) can connect to drives and folders in host A or B computers.

  I'm really confused, because it is a new problem in a network that worked without problem for a long time.

  Thank you

  I was using AVG Anti-virus v8.5.  I uninstalled since then to try to resolve the problem.

  AVG should be ok.  Other AV problems even if 'disabled '.

  I'll try to disable settings NIC "unloading" next Monday (it's my wifes computer and I'm sure you can guess the rest).

  Not to be pedantic, but you mention that it would be temporary disabling.  What happens if this does not resolve the problem, what I won't give in now the settings?

  Give you up to a tiny fraction of one percent of time processor, because your host CPU would be checksums compensable package instead of the card NETWORK adapter.  Any difference would be unnoticable on a modern desktop computer.

  If a new NETWORK adapter driver becomes available, you can always try which allows once again to see if the new driver fixes it.  Even if a newer version of the workstation out.

• Guest VM not synchronized with the host

  We have a host of VM Cluster 8 all set to have their time synchronized to the same source NTP.  I checked the time is correct on all of my guests.  1 computer, I put to synchronize with its ' host, one of our domain controllers, is still off in a few minutes.  I changed the time on the NTP source and hosts updated accordingly.  I have to restart the operating system asked for time to resynchronize or do I stop/start the vmtools?  Since it is a domain controller I am wary to do it in the middle of the day, but I'll come on a Thursday night so I can do after hours if this is the solution.

  BTW, I think remember reading an article about hosting Active Directory on a computer virtual de VMWare.  I can't find it now, only the link Ms.

  Lucky you that I still have a copy somewhere on my laptop and I have the gasket for comments. Better is to get VMworld.com if you have an account. I will remove it when you are finished with the download to prevent the issue of copy right.

• ESXi on VMWare Workstation with widows 2008 comments

  Hello

  I am about to begin a new deployment and I tested some things before that I have shell out money for new equipment and software.

  I tested Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit on VMWare Workstation and everything is good.  My VMWare Workstation is on Win 7 64 bit

  Ultimately, this equipment will run on ESX, vSphere Essentials through.   To test this, I installed ESXi 4 Update 1 inside VMWare Workstation.

  Because the vSphere client is not supported on Windows 7, I installed the Client vSphere on Win XP 32 bit inside another guest of VMWare Workstation.

  During the installation of Windows 2008 R2 64-bit on ESXi, via vSphere on XP, I get the following error

  Trying to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU in is not compatible with the 64-bit mode.

  Well, I know that my cpu is 64-bit capable, because I'm already under 64-bit so much already.

  It worries me a bit, because I wasn't expecting this obstacle - my test was to validate a number of other things, not this and now I think I might switch to Hyper-V.

  I already searched the forums, and from what I found, nothing has solved the problem yet

  However, there could be a saving grace - could the fact that I'm under esxi in vmware workstation cause this problem?

  Paul

  You're out of luck.

  You cannot run 64-bit inside a virtual ESX clients.

  Nested VMs have no VT support, you need to run a 64-bit client

• VMware Workstation BIOS 9 - cannot change the boot sequence

  I have a Windows 2003 server that has almost zero space on the C drive, so I'm trying to start a utility disk so I can I repartition.

  HOWEVER... F12 not letting me NOT select a different boot device. If I go into the BIOS and go to the start menu, I see the hard disk and not the CD is at the top of the list and there is no way to change the boot order. Up, down and '+' and '-' keys don't do. The machine is a version that compatible with 6-7, but I shouldn't have to level 9 (I think, anyway).

  The boots of the virtual machine so fast but after that everything a 100 attempts I can't else primary hard drive to boot first.

  TIA

  Kevin

  With VMware Workstation (or at least tab of the virtual machine) closed, add

  bios.bootDelay = "5000".

  to the virtual machine's .vmx file. This will add a 5 second delay for the startup process that will allow you to hit the "ESC" key to the start menu and to attach an ISO or CD image to the virtual machine. Make sure that the virtual CD-ROM presents itself as 'Connected' before proceeding with the selection of the boot device.

• Cannot add a host with the host name in VC

  Hi all

  Nice day.

  I just finished the installation of 2 servers esx4.0, Vartual Center Server and domain controller server in my home test harness. I added both the host esx server in DNS records. then I tried to add hosts to VC by using the host name, then I get the error message like

  "Unable to contact the (xxxxx) host specified. "the host may not be available on the network, a network cofiguraion problem can exhist or that management on this host services may not respond.

  I checked that all are ping and found no network configuration problem. I am able to add a host using the IP address, but not with the host name. I checked services in VC, all services run very well. Earlier I never had this problem.

  Please help me if someone has the solution.

  Thanks in advance

  Kind regards

• Why to the can't 'Shared VMs' does not allow to share folders with the host and why the copy/paste does not work on them? :-((

  I want to put in place a "build mini-server' for our team. Since VMware Player is not taken in charge more I had to use VMware Workstation, and with some success, I put things up. But now more and more surface of trouble!

  To enable auto-start for the virtual machines, they must obviously be "shared." But it looks like, with this, the nuisance that these virtual machines cannot share folders more with the host. And also, it seems that copy and paste does not work with these "shared VMs.

  Is there a work around to get these features also works with 'shared VMs?

  It is VERY annoying and tedious to always have to these VMs to shuttle between shared and non-shared mode just to be able to transfer data or new versions of code for them!

• Configure the clients to stop with the host

  We use an IBM BladeCenter S chassis with 6 blades ESXi 4 servers in a cluster.  I would like to configure the cluster so that when stop us a host (blade), guests who are running on it will be quit first instead of going down hard.

  I think that this must be configured in Configuration > Virtual Machine Startup / Shutdown, but seem to be the settings I do on the Blade 2, for example a guest so that it starts automatically with the host country, do not apply if the guest is vmotioned to another Blade.

  Is there a way to do this?

  If the host is part of an HA cluster, power on/off options, though configurable, will not work.  However, if you disable HA and then configure the options of start/stop, the settings are configured by VM.  Which means they stick even if vMotioned.

• PowerCLI defining politics NTP to "Start and stop with the host" in ESXi 5

  Would appreciate any help in the definition of the strategy NTP on ESXi 5 hosts 'start and stop with the host. My script is currently using the following:

  Get-VMHost MyEsx | Get-VMHostService | where {$_.} Key - eq 'ntpd'} | Game-VMHostService-policy "automatic."

  This sets up the NTP service in "start automatically if all ports are open and stop when all ports are closed.

  "When I cange to 'MyEsx Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostService | where {$_.} Key - eq 'ntpd'} | Game-VMHostService-political ' market / stop with host"" the following is returned:

  «The possible enumeration values are "auto, On, Off«»»»

  Anyone know of a way (in PowerCLI) of the set up for the 'start and stop with host?

  OK, then you should choose politics "on".

  These are the policy values and what they match.

• 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.

• 10 workstation online best way to keep the host offline and guests?

  Newbie question: Workstation 10 - have a host Windows 7 Ultimate x 64, several guests Linux Mint 17.3 (KDE). The machine is portable i7 with 16 GB of RAM. The network is wireless only (cannot use cable in current situation).

  I would keep the Windows 7 host permanently out of the network. The guests are online and used for web and similar access. What would be the best way to set up on the side of the network, assuming that it can be done?

  Thanks a lot for your help!

  Hello

  Well this is... depends on what you intend to 'offline' for the customer.

  If you are planning that the guests to be accessible from the outside (I mean through wifi to your host), the host has (?) to be somehow connected, so online?

  There is perhaps a way to restrict connections from hosts on the outside... so that web page in emails do not work, but the host is will still be able to receive a part of traffic in my humble OPINION.

  With my knowledge and my experience, I know:

  -You can connect a guest with his * own * USB hardware. I mean you can disconnect from host a WiFi USB (or USB ethernet adapt) card and connect it to a given host. So the host could be offline (no wifi, no ethernet), but the guest can be connected through the material, it will set up.

  -guests could communicate with each other via a 'host-only' adapter or a bridge (as your ethernet NiC).

  -When the ethernet NiC host is physically connected (and guests on her bridge), communication between clients is broken... but a software solution is to add a dummy loopback adapter to simulates network card is connected. In this used during travels by train, without ethernet or wifi, to avoid changing the working configuration of the guests in bridge on the ethernet adapter that I used to have to work! :-) Modifying simply physical WMnet0 (eg) to ethernet virtual network configuration microsoft Loopback to tour.

  Took the 3 above stated and your configuration:

  -1 host must be offline

  -several guests that should be online

  -ethernet to the home not connected

  You can try to:

  -installation of a map of looping to the host (http://www.groovypost.com/howto/microsoft/install-a-loopback-adapter-in-windows-7/ )

  -connect and configure a physical map of wifi USB to one of your comments (comments should have a virtual USB controller installed).

  -share your comments above WiFi connection.

  -Configure the * other * invited to use the above share under their gateway address (and DNS I guess?) and set up their virtual connection through the loop (you may need to manually change the address/subnet of the closure to match that of the shared connection).

  It's an idea to dig.

  Own a unique login prompt works for sure, but use it as a gateway to the other guests might be the tricky part (at least for me)!

  My 2 cents! ;-)

  Kind regards.

• How to communicate between the host and the guest in a stand-alone PC

  I have a professional Standalone XP (host) that is not connected to a network. I created a host (XP Professional) using vmware. Pls know me how to communicate and transfer files between the guest and the host.

  Pls post the procedure or send it to [email protected]

  Thanks and greetings

  Ganesh.

  Use "NAT" or "Host-Only' networking for your virtual machine, NOT bridged.

  Activate a shared folder on your virtual computer configuration, map as a network of virtual machine of your shared folder on the host drive.
