  How can I change the looks of Access Infrastructure Web location for the virtual machine files?

  My default is set to MACHINES C:\VIRTUAL.  But I want to change it to turn to an external drive connected with an eSata cable. Can I do this?

  Hello

  Add just like a new data store.

  Login to your web access, select your host (not the virtual machines) in the left menu.

  You should see a link on the right side with "Add data store", give it a name of store and add the directory.

  Now, you can add a virtual machine to this place.

  Good luck!

• How the physical machine can communicate with the virtual machines as well as the internet should work on a virtual machine

  Hi team,

  I ask that you forgive for asking a silly question without doing a free search.

  I'm using VMware workstation 6.5. I am able to communicate with both machines by selecting 'only option of home. "

  Is there a way by which the physical machine can communicate with the virtual machines.

  At the same time through the VMS, is it possible to access the Internet from the physical amchine.

  Help, please.

  When you use a bridged vNIC the customer acts as any other host, so that you can access is by his IP (or name if a DNS configuration exists as you acceding to any other host.) What tools you can use depends on the guest operating system and the software available.

  I assume you mean access deskopt. Then you can use RDP (Windows Terminal services) or VNC (tight/tiny).

  For Linux, you can use this last or all the flavors of SSH. In the case of Linux, I use VNC through SSH tunnel. You can also tunnel X through SSH, so if you have an X server on another host (such as the Hummingbird for Windows), you can open your own office remotely there.

• Need help with a virtual machine between multiple users on iMac even...

  So I installed Fusion on my Intel iMac and created a virtual machine that uses Windows Vista. My problem is that I need to have two accounts Admin on Mac can use Vista/Fusion. I read a little about it and tried to put the virtual machine folder in the Documents of the other admin folder. Then I logged in as the admin account and Fusion found the records of the virtual machine and loaded vista fine. But of course now the first admin account cannot open Vista more. My question is can I copy the VM "Bundle" in the documents of the other account, so both users have files? Or with this screw things?

  Or should I put the virtual machine 'bundle' in the shared folder to make it work as I need to? I know that the two users can access the same VM at the same time, but as long as a user stop Vista and the merger and disconnects, can another user log in and open Vista/Fusion?

  Help, please! Thanks in advance.

• The virtual machine files

  Hello;

  Just noticed that in my data store, there are several folders to a single virtual machine, e.g. VM-Marketing, it also has Marketing_1-VM and VM-Marketing_2.

  When I go on the 'change settings' of this virtual machine, in the hardware tab, and on the hard drive, it's going to [datastore] VM-Marketing_2/VM - Marketing.vmdk.

  Then in the General Options in the 'Options' tab, the Configuration of the VM tab is [datastore] VM-Marketing_2/VM - Marketing.vmx

  It seems that my VM it working in the VM-Marketing_2 file in the data store, what about the other two?, this virtual machine, it is quite heavy, it has a 80 GB HARD drive and I have 3 of them if total 240 GB, so can I remove them?, is there something I can do atin the VCenter?

  The content of this files are:

  Thanks for your time...

  Welcome to the community - VM when is created ESX, it will use the name of the default computer name of directory where the virtual machine and its files will be stored - if a directory with that name already exists, it increments the directory with _1, _2 etc - so I am betting by the same VMs na, e were created before the one you have currently in production - Maybe the intention had been to delete these virtual machines, but when they have been deleted, rather than by selecting delete from the disk - remove inventory has been selected which will keep the directory structure.

• Copy the virtual machine files

  Hello

  I would like to know if I had to copy a virtual machine on my personal laptop, what files should I copy? Told me that VMDK files are not enough. That is why I want to what files exactly?

  And also if my application VM and the VM database are 2 different servers, it will work if I copy them and run them on my laptop?

  Thank you.

  If you laptop is isolated from the area, you'll need to local users account on the virtual machine, so I suggest you note the local administrator account and the password and check if this account is activated.

  Just a further point, if the services in the system VMs depends on domain services, for example: If you are using a domain account to run, you need will change this setting to use the local account and give the necessary permission for this local account.

• Rename all the virtual machine files in the data store

  Hello

  We have renamed one of the name of the server of our virtual machine running on esx3.5. In addition, we have renamed this server in VC to reflect the new name of the server. Please tell us how we can rename all files in this virtual machine residing in the data store to reflect the new name of the server.

  Appreciate your quick response.

  Thanks in advance...

  You can use sVMotion and move it to another data store or migrate from cold.  Two tasks will rename the underlying set of files.

• CPU Incompatible requirements with the virtual machine to the host.

• Compatibility of the player with the virtual machine Workstation

  Hi people,

  Sorry if this is something obvious, I have not found all the details on the form of compatibility with the player...

  I have a virtual workstation 5.x image and I try to run it with a player of 3.1, but keeps the guest OS reboot. one thing that came to my mind, they are not compatible with each other no more.

  is there a way to figure this out?

• 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.

• Beginner Flash help, with the combination of files / Tween

  Hello

  First of all, I'm new here so please don't beat me so bad!  And again to Flash, so I don't quite know the best way to do things and have probably taken a long journey around this project!  in any case, here's what I have.

  I have developed a track of portable tanks in a single .fla file.  This file has a basic structure and a bunch of pieces of rail using a tween on a track all about trajectory to make them look like the tank will be moving when you are finished.

  

  I have it the way I like it at the moment, but my question is.  I want to take advantage of this and place it in another file and resize it and rotate and move as one piece.

  I don't know how to do this, and at this point, I can't even across the entire piece down (track motion tweens and frame).

  Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.

  Thank you

  Hello and welcome. (I'm fairly new as well.)

  All you have to do is select all the songs you've created and go to modify > convert to symbol and make a video. If you are not familiar with clips, you should really check the help and tutorial files because they are the heart and soul of Flash (in my mind).

• Replicate the Volumes CSV with the virtual machines in Hyper-V by ASM?

  Hello

  We are migrating to VMware, Hyper-v. VMware reproduced us some across the Equallogic HIT VMFS volumes.

  On Hyper-V, I can replicate VMs in Hyper-V, but they may not have comments ISCSI.

  We want comments ISCSI features, I'm trying to reproduce the CSV volumes.

  Is this supported? Is there a document that describes the configuration and usage?

  Hello

  With Windows 2012 and 2012R2, there is a problem that currently prevents the HIT / replica ME volumes CSV.   Until it's resolved, you need to plan the replication of CSV volumes via the user interface of group.  I think this is mentioned in the HIT / ME v4.7.x documentation.

  Kind regards

  Can someone advise if Cisco will continue to make available upadtes IPS to the sdf format?

  Thanks in advance for the forum entry.

  Cisco will continue to support the IOS IPS signature format 4.x based SDF files (for prior release IOS 12.4 (11) T) until June 2008.

• Need help install appliance virtual machine (file unpacking).

  I'm new to VMware devices.  ?:|   I try to install FireScope BSM: BE the device. The directions say to download the image file from tablet to the data store; and unpack once it has been downloaded. It is a tar.gz file. MY question is: how to unzip a file in the data store? ESX Server version 3.5.0 doesn't let me connect to the CLI. Anyone know how I can do this?

  Thank you

  You "might" use the data store browser to upload files to the data store OR you can use a client PCs (google FastSCP) it's free and will allow you to easily upload files to your esx hosts.

  Hello

  How to list the files of data store for the virtual machine? I can't find reference to the command.

  Thank you

  If you have installed vCLI and vSphere SDK for Perl, you have extra utilities on top of what is there with the vCLI, take a look at this list: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl40/doc/vsperl_util_index.html
