How do you use a "physical disk" like a HDD in vmware fusion

In the Linux Version of VMWare Workstation, you can select "use a physical disk" by example/dev/sda

allows you to run VMware from one installation of windows on a real disk, or use this drive

as a secondary in your vmware session drive.

In Fusion, however, I can only choose images of floppy disks and not physical drives hard.

Is there no workaround solution to this merger? Will be the feature that is in the Linux version of

Workstation never attend Fusion?

Thank you

Peter

  • Directly using a physical disk without virtual file system?

    I wonder if it is possible to directly use the physical disk with VMware vSphere Essentials Kit and will be that this increase in the performance of MS SQL database if located on this topic over on the virtual file system?

    / * the BONES still lie on the file system, virtual, or if possible - physics directly on disc again * /.

    Yes, you can use RDM with vSphere Essentials. RDM may or may not be faster, and many consider it's a wash. It would be interesting to test it for you, but don't assume that you will get performance much better with a vs the other. RDM can also complicate things like backup strategies.

  • HOW do you use the INS/PRT SC button to insert the copied data? It does not work! Help!

    I just got a pavilion DV6-7010us... I have always used the INSERT key when I copy data and insert into a message, chat screen, document... this computer has a key of INS/PRT SC.  I can't get the key to insert data into almost anything.   How do you use this key?  or is there another way to insert data that you copied, into something... ???  I'm used to use Shift + Insert key on my old laptop.    Right now, I try to keep in my mind to use the mouse to insert data... but would like to be able to use the key on the laptop keyboard.

    Is there a way to do it?

    Thank you

    You must identify your laptop for each of us to have a clue as to what looks like your keyboard. There are so many models of HP to be precise.

    Remove the battery and look for the label that says p/n. Post this string alphanumeric together here. It is your HP product number. G6 or dv6 and dv7 are all just model numbers.

    You can also do this by using Ctrl + C to copy and Ctrl + V to paste. That's what most people use to copy and paste in most applications and productivity programs.

    Because Windows 7 has the capture tool, I didn't even use the Ins or Prt Scr.

    When you use "Defragment your hard drive" the process starts but seems stuck and won't end evn after several hours.  How I can remidy this? I was already able to defragment successfully.

    Hello

    How do you know that never, it ends when there is no GUI on Vista for Defrag?

    in vista, the defragmentation process works silently in the background

    Unfortunately in vista it does not provide a GUI to show progress as it did in xp

    to do this, you'll need 3rd party defrag programs

    read the comments on these FREE below defragmentation programs and choose the one that you prefer to use

  • Use a physical disk?

    I'll install some VMS soon to a SSD drive, the server on which the VMs will be there will be two of the most recent Intel 34nm SSDs, the size of 80 GB. I thought that I could choose the option to let the virtual machines have a direct access to the physical disk, but then I started to wonder if it would cause problems with multiple computers on a single disc. So my first question, does anyone know if there will be conflicts of two virtual computers that have "direct access to the local hard drive?

    Also, when you select the option "use physical drive", is still a single virtual disk created on this disk file? Or he writes all the individual hard disk as if it were a BONE regularly installed on the drive?

    My last question is probably a little more complicated for you all, as he considers how solid state drives works. SSD drives have a limited number of write cycles, normally, for companies, servers SLC based drives are used and life is not a problem. MLC readers become better and with lower usage, that this server will get, life expected to be good for 5-10 years on each disc. Now VMWare creates a single virtual disk file that is written to disk, when changes are made to the virtual machine to the operating system, these changes are then written to the virtual disk on the physical hard disk file. So what I was wondering is when changes are made and this virtual disk file has a change to it, how these changes get will write for the reader in solid state? Because if it rewrites the file of virtual disk to the same cells on the disk then these cells will wear very quickly while other space the disc is still brand new. If the file will be written to a new set of cells? Or will be written only the changes to the drive, and even if it's a single file changes will be written to a completely different sector on the drive?

    Joakim - I don't trust gross in anyway records when you use 'partitionedDevice' and the logical partitions / extended.

    In most cases, I have seen that this creates problems.

    But having more than one primary partition is ok

    Hello

    recovery discs are computer brand and model specific

    If you need the drive for your recovery or read alternative methods below

    If you don't have a recovery disk, you must have a recovery partition to do the same thing

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista:

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    their request also how to make this recovery partition recovery disks

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • How do you use the config.xml file to determine which version of an application, a user will download?

    I have two APKs for the same application and I implemented the config.XML of lower version number working for all screen sizes.  The config.XML for the higher version number is set up for only the scresns large and extra-large.  Here's the code from the config.xml file.

    Version 1

    < media screens android: anyDensity = "true" android: Center = 'true '.
    Android: smallScreens = "true".
    Android: normalScreens = 'true '.
    Android: largeScreens = "true".
    Android: xlargeScreens = "true" / >

    Version 2

    < media screens android: anyDensity = "true" android: Center = 'true '.
    Android: smallScreens = "false".
    Android: normalScreens = "false".
    Android: largeScreens = "true".
    Android: xlargeScreens = "true" / >

    When I try to download the app on Google game, only the top version is available, regardless of the size of the unit.  When I asked Google game why this was not behave as expected, they said that the file manifest for both applications is the same.  Here is the code, they shot in the manifest after having used PhoneGap Build.

    < media screens android: anyDensity = "true" android: smallScreens = "true" android: normalScreens = "true" android: largeScreens = "true" android: Center = "true" android: xlargeScreens = "true" / >

    Can someone explain why PhoneGap Build is not using the settings I set in the config.xml file?  And how to fix this?

    The tag is not a valid tag in the config.xml file. This is probably why you see the same tag in two, as the build service is ignorant.

    As to how solve you this problem. Currently, you can not, but the next version of android-cordova will include the ability to add a tag which you will be able to use like this:

  • Prepare to use a physical disk or an unused Partition

    VMWare Workstation version 8.0.4 build-744019

    SE host: Windows 7 64-bit

    Host HW: 8 GB, Intel Core I7-2670QM 2.2 GHz (4 cores, 8 wires)

    I have a 512 GB SSD (OCZ Vertex 4) in my machine, bought specially to speed up the construction process of the cores for embedded systems.

    I installed Windows 7 64 bit on this SSD and booting from it. I shrunk the drive in Windows 7 diskmanager and released a 100 GB partition to use for a virtual machine running Windows 7 32 bit.

    Training VMWare this 100 GB on disk 0 partition format the easy installation. The Windows 7 installation screen displays this error in step "copying files...". ». The error is 0 x 80070057.

    The States of using VMWare guide (on page 14, under the title 'Prepare to use a disc or unused physical Partition'):

    On Windows Vista and Windows 7 hosts, you cannot use the system partition or physical disk that

    contains, in a virtual machine.
    I just read that I can't do what I'm doing? I can't use a partition on the physical disk that is used to start the host for a virtual machine operating system?
    What is the technical reason for this? Is this something that will be possible in the future (or even now with a workaround) or is it something that is technically simply not possible?
    The reason for me trying to create a virtual machine that has direct access to my SSD is to speed up the virtual machine. I use it to build kernels. Build a kernel 'natively', so outside of a VM, takes 5 minutes. The same core within a virtual machine of construction takes 30 minutes, and it's on a virtual machine that has files of virtual disk it's on this same (very fast) SSD.
    Is there another way to speed up my built inside the virtual machine? The bottleneck is disk access. It's just terribly slow in the VM and lightning fast outside.

    I hope someone can give me some advice! Thanks in advance!

    You can only assign physical drives in a virtual computer with a crowd of Win7 so player set 'offline '.
    Otherwise, you will encounter problems just after starting the virtual machine - the host then banned access to training and the virtual machine stops

    Of course, you can NOT set the drive system 'offline' on a host with a single disc.

    The performance of a physical disk and a preallouee vmdk should be almost the same.
