• How can I suspend a Virtual Machine?

  I want to suspend a virtual machine without taking a snapshot. Please help how I can do this.

  Take a look at this KB, it maybe for v3.5 but should work for v4 also.  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1006671

• How can I register a virtual machine in the command line?

  I want to automate the registration of virtual machines in my VMWare Fusion.

  I have the vmx file. I can do this by using the command line?

  If not, how can I do it automatically?

  Thanks in advance.

  There are two main methods you can interact with the Virtual Machines outside user of VMware Fusion, the VIX API and vmrun interface and with the registration of these two commands are not supported with VMware Fusion (or VMware Workstation.* (* Non-exclussive VM)}.)  Recording controls are used primarily with vSphere.  VMware Server also supported recording orders.

  BTW, from a Machine virtual Finder by double-clicking on the file of configuration of Machine virtual package or .vmx if it is already running and is not created through the interface user of VMware Fusion, for example created in VMware Workstation VM and copied on a Mac, created manually or via a script solution.  Although she will then have to be manually recorded.  Registered/not registered in this context the Virtual Machine appears in the library of virtual machines VMware Fusion.

• How can I create a virtual machine from an ISO?

  I just installed VMware ESXi 4.1.0 on a server and then downloaded the vSphere client to connect to the server. I created a Linux (Debian 5 64-bit) profile VM, but I have the ISO Linux file on my PC I have vSphere client installed on. How can I tell my new machine VM to boot from ISO which is glued on my PC? Is there a way I can browse my PC using the vSphere client or do I burn the ISO on a CD - R and the place physically in the CD-ROM on the host system so that I can start my Linux install?

  Thanks for any help!

  you will need to ensure that the ISO file is accessible to the ESXi host moving to a datastore VMFS or NFS dayastore which is accessible to the ESXi host - then follow the instructions here - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_vm_admin_guide.pdf on how to install forms an image - ISO

• How to configure NTP between Virtual Machines without using Vsphere Client

  I have a group of 8 virtual servers of 5.5 ESXi without an Internet connection. There are virtual machines on each of these 8 virtual servers.

  I did one of these 5.5 virtual ESXi host a NTP server by editing the file /etc/ntp.conf with below configuration and

  started the ntpd daemon. He began to take the time to its local clock, here's the output of ntpq Pei

  IP server 10.108.190.14

  ip address of the client 10.108.190.15

  Server /etc/ntp.conf

  > > driftfile/var/lib/ntp/drift

  > > server 127.127.1.0 maxpoll 4

  > > fondant 127.127.1.0 stratum 10

  | ntpq Pei

  |   refid distance st t when poll reach delay offset jitter

  | ==============================================================
  | * LOCAL (0). LIUX. 10 l 2 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.001

  Then I edited the file /etc/ntp.conf on customers with below configuration but the customer would not synchronize with the server. He

  wouldn t get response from the server. Here is the output of ntpq Pei

  Customer /etc/ntp.conf

  > > driftfile/var/lib/ntp/drift

  > > server 10.108.190.14 iburst

  | ntpq Pei

  |      refid distance st t when poll reach delay offset jitter

  | ==================================================================
  | 10.108.190.14 INIT. 16 u

  Now, when I configure NPT Client/Server on virtual machines through the Configuration Option under Option Configuration time

  in Vsphere Client everything works fine and the client and the server to synchronize with each other. I checked the file /etc/ntp.conf on both the client

  and the server and it has a couple of restrict 127.0.0.1 and restrict the lines added by default kod nomodify etc.

  So why NPT Server featured when enabled via Vsphere Client works very well, but it does not work when it is configured manually

  in the virtual servers directly.

  I was connected to a vCenter Server Appliance through the VSphere Client and enabled the synchronization of time of the NPT.

  I really need to know how to configure the NTP server without using the Vsphere Client so that I can automate the

  task by writing a python script that would connect to each virtual server and NTP Client/Server configuration.

  Any help in this issue deeply appreciated!

  Thank you!

  You can configure the ntp server without using viclient.

• How can I move the "Virtual Machines" folder to the My Documents folder?

  VMwareFusion is to put the "Virtual Machines" folder in the Documents folder in the home folder (/users/ [username] / Documents), how can I move elsewhere (as/Library/Application Support)? The user Documents folder is not the right place for automated it system files, it is intended for personal documents.

  
  

  I am running VMware Fusion on OS X Yosemite (and the virtual machine is Windows 7).

  You can keep your virtual machines anywhere you want. Here are the steps to move:

  1 exit VMware Fusion. You can stop first of all of your running virtual machines.

  2. drag your virtual computers folder or the individual VM "files" where you / them. Filenames usually end in ".vmwarevm". There is no need to call the new folder "Virtual Machines" - you can call it anything you like.

  3. Launch VMware Fusion. If the library of the Virtual Machine window is not open, open it (Windows menu-> Virtual Machine library).

  4. ensure that all of your icons for the virtual machine are light gray and say "file not found".

  5. right click on each virtual machine in turn, and select Remove. When you are done, leave the window of Machine virtual library empty open.

  6. in the Finder, drag the icons of file virtual machine in their new location and drop them in library of virtual machines VMware Fusion window. Drop them one by one in the original order, you got, or rearrange icons later.

  7. run your virtual machines as before.

  When you create new virtual computers, navigate to the desired file before the Save.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: If you your folder of Machines ~/Documents/Virtual excluded from backups Time Machine, don't forget to change the exclusion to the new folder.

  Time Machine backups are not reliable for virtual machines. You must have another strategy. (I shut the virtual machine down, compress the 'file', and then move the compressed file to a folder that is included in the Time Machine backups. This isn't the only strategy, but it works for me.)

• How can I remove a virtual machine from the mycomputer tab entry?

  I imported a virtual machine, and then moved the files and it has opened its new location and now I have two similar entries in the tab "MyComputer".  I'm under VMWorkstation 9.  How can I remove the old entry that opens is more because the files are not there more?

  I've found that a right click works indeed to remove the context menu when you are on the part of the library, but when I was in the My Computer tab, right click does not work.  I had my library closed shutter, but once I opened it and tried, I managed to solve the problem.  Thanks for the help.

• How can I get a virtual machine to see the graphic material?

  Environment:

  1. I use a computer HP Pavilion dv8327us laptop is equipped with a nVidia GeForce Go 7600 graphics card.

  2. I am running VMWare Workstation 7.x

  3. I'm under Ubuntu 10.04 as a virtual machine.

  4. I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 as the host machine.

  Location:

  1. the virtual machine seems not to be able to use advanced graphics card features.

  2. the VM sees the card as a SVGA II adapter.

  3. the virtual machine can't determine the system LCD screen refresh rate.

  4. the virtual machine can't do use an external display.

  Workarounds failed:

  1. an attempt to solve this problem by installing the latest nvidia 260.19.44 graphics driver failed. The installation of this driver has resulted in an error message indicating that no supported hardware can be detected. The conclusion I draw from this is that either or however the machine emule virtual graphic adapter in the system is not quite the same as what is emulated.

  Question:

  1 is wrong to think that we could install drivers of graphics cards in a virtual machine and wait to turn the virtual machine to see the graphics card in the same way as the host machine? If Yes, then how can we do?

  2. is it possible for a virtual machine to use an external monitor?

  Thank you.

  Virtual machines have graphics cards ATI and NVIDIA - or else.

  Use of virtual machines VMware SVGA 2 cards - support or VMware SVGA cards with 3 d

  You need the drivers included in the vmware-tools - install other drivers is the sabotage of the machine virtual and not useful!

• How can I migrate from Virtual Center 2.5 to VCenter Server 4.0 on another server

• How can I create a virtual machine

  Should I create a virtual machine from a boot camp partition or install Windows XP from an existing file?  Help!

  I did a little research on the website of Apple, and the marketing point of view, they have a sort of gloss over the fact that you need a Windows install with Boot Camp.  Here is a Knowledge Base article that makes it a little more clear.  I can see if you look how Apple sells Boot Camp (and Fusion or Parallels also) the need for a Windows installation disc is kind of lost in the noise.  If Photoshop is the only thing that you think you will need Windows to consider that a Windows install disc will probably cost you about $100.  While Boot Camp offers you the best performance under Windows Me, it is inconvenient to keep restart the machine in Mac OS X or Windows as needed.  Fusion or Parallels meets the needs most (I think that most needs except for gamers) and is much more convenient, but it is an another $35 à $50 or more on top of the purchase of Windows. That's why I suggest just buying a copy of Mac in Photoshop if that's all that you'll need Windows.

  Make no mistake that you are now several computers also with Boot Camp, Fusion or Parallels.  Llke maintenance common Windows defrag, backups must be done any program installation you chose to use.  In my case I have to use some applications only available under Windows for work, and I prefer Quicken on Windows to its ' equivalent of Mac (they are not the same program) so I use Fusion.  If it wasn't for these needs I will try to be just a Mac user.

• How can I print my virtual machine XP installed on my computer Windows 7 host?

  I can't print from my virtual XP machine which is installed on my Windows 7 host operating system.

  The printer is correctly installed on my Windows 7 OS and I can print pages of test and documents through it.

  But I can't get my printer to print anything from my XP virtual machine.

  What I've tried so far:

  I tried to install my printer in my XP virtual machine as a local printer. The installation wizard installs the drivers of its own database. The icon for the printer appears in the Printers window. But the test page does not print, or it allows to print a simple text document.

  I tried to install my printer in my XP virtual machine as a printer attached to another computer on my network. To counter this, I enabled files and printers sharing on my printer to Windows 7 host operating system and then shared to the network. Then I went back to my XP virtual machine to activate the printer installation wizard to install a printer on a network. The installation wizard will search the shared network printers, but do not find anything. I have the opportunity to enter things like the address of the network printer and so on. But I have no idea what to conclude from these boxes.

  I did my best to make sure that the Windows 7 host operating system and the virtual XP machine are on the same network, which is a working group, not a homegroup. But I can have failed at that because I don't know much about networks.

  -------

  The printer is a Brother HL-5050.

  Parallel cable.

  LPT1

  This problem is not resolved. Anyone having this same problem with a parallel cable connected printer will continue to look for the solution.

  BUT he is no longer a problem I have to deal with.

  I discovered by accident that my printer has a USB port in the back. So, I went parallel to the USB cable. This allowed me to select and activate the printer in the virtual mode menu bar Windows XP special on the top edge, by clicking on the "USB" button there. Allowing the printer in XP virtual mode turns off also in the reception of Windows 7 OS. But then 'release' the printer of the XP virtual machine allows the printer under Windows 7 again. Not much for me.

• I have a MBP end 2011 running yosemite which is dead.  How can I migrate (from Time Machine) on a similar MBP (mid-2012).  I don't mind if I lose data on the MBP of the latter.  Essentially, I want my old MBP to take the newest one.

  My MBP end 2011 died.  I want to migrate its content on Time Machine to a bit newer MBP.  Basically the old MBP return to the most recent.  It doesn't matter if the data on the new MBP are lost.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Yes you can do it. Pondini (here) has a few options to do.

  You can also try Migration Wizard. See this article. But I'd go with Pondini, the guru of the Time Machine.

• How can I migrate a time machine backup external USB drive to time capsule

  Searched the forums and can't seem to find an answer. With the help of El Capitan 10.11.6. You want to transfer backups Time Machine 4 years on an external USB drive on my new Time Capsule. Any ideas would be MUCH appreciated.

  There is no official method because it has problems.

  There's no official way.

  Here see Q18. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  We recommend that people not me there. It has not proven reliable long-term. Start a new backup on the TC and keep the USB stick in the form of archive. After a few months or a year you won't have it.

  You have to understand the Time Machine backup otherwise locally the CF network. It is easy enough to move the backup network local but much harder the other way around.

• How can I associate the virtual machine to the physical NETWORK card?

  Hello

  I have a host, has two physical network adapters.

  I want to use one for VM and give an ip address for this but I do not know how to configure it. In my view, "Manage virtual networks" fuction for this...

  Thank you!

  You should already have a phyiscal WHAT NIC assigned to VMnet0 (bridged). So if the choice as vonnection for a guest. Create a second connection open by assigning the physical NIC then to VMnet2, for example (VMnet1 is already in use). Assign this connection to the second guest.

• Take a snapshot of a lun SAN: How do I disassemble the virtual machine?

  SAN is FC 9958E Hitachi, ESX 3.5 update 2.

  I try to take a snapshot of a lun (with a virtual machine in this regard) san and must turn off the virtual machine and disassemble the VMFS virtual machine so I can do that there is no I/O will the lun when I take the snapshot.

  How can I (of) a virtual machine of the VMFS without making the other virtual machines running in the same cluster? I know that the VMFS is a system of shared files grouped campaigns, exclusive property of vmware. Does anyone know the command to use?

  If anyone has any info on this subject, it would be great.

  This is the documentation is 1.5 ESX, released in 2002.

  The command no longer exists in recent versions.
