• How long does take to Clean Up Virtual Machine and recover disk space?  Take a long time.

  I just upgraded from Fusion 4 to 6.  Before converting my GB 131 VM version 6 I did a Clean Up because he says I have 9 GB of usable space.  I don't know how long it takes to run.  He has worked for more than 20 minutes, but there seems to be no way to determine if something is happening.  It simply shows a window 'Reclaiming Disk Space... "with no way to cancel out.  The size of the file and the date/time of the VM file does not change.  Activity monitor shows between 3% and 5% of the CPU with 13 to 15 of son used.

  I saved the file to the virtual machine.

  When you become concerned that nothing happens?  How to stop the process?

  Thank you.

  Thanks WoodyZ.  No additional help is needed.  I now have the answer.  It took about an hour and a half to reclaim the space.  All right and that patience is a virtue.  (Windows 7-64) virtual machine starts very well.  I hope this helps other post to know that it can take some time.  It would be nice if there was a progress meter or something to indicate something constructive.

• How to share files on the isolated virtual machine?

  I cloned a VM of production for some tests, so I don't want to connect it to our production network to avoid any conflict of IP etc. In this case, how can I transfer files between my PC and the cloned VM?

  The VMtools has a shared folder, but it doesn't seem to work in ESX or ESXi. The only method I can think, at least for the transfer of files in this virtual machine is to convert the ISO on my PC folder so that I can connect as a virtual disk drive in the virtual machine. Are there other methods better to do this?

  Hello

  There are several ways to move forward and keep a 100% isolated virtual machine...

  (1) marks a new connected to the VM source using hotadd VMDK. Place the data to be transferred to this new VMDK. Remove the VMDK and remove the source of the VM (hotremove or power down, change the config and startup). Once disassembled/not done part of source VMDK, attach the VMDK to the target VM and transfer files

  (2) use the suggested ISO/FLP method.

  Or the other method could perhaps transfer viruses, etc. Not sure why you want to isolate, but do not consider this possibility, if the source files are infected, then the target is infected as well.

  (3) transfer the data via serial port connections. You can make a VM endpoint for anotehr VM setup of serial port devices.

  (4) mount a USB device in the source of the VM. Transfer the files. Dismount and mount the USB key to the target VM.

  (5) place the target VM on a private vSwitch (no connection to Teddy). Create a router/firewall VM and place it on the private vSwitch AND your normal network. Transfer the files through this device of firewall to the target VM. Make sure that the firewall is configured to NOT allow anything but the Protocol selected to cross. Proposed Protocol isn't ONLY SCP, no CIFS, FTP, etc... SCP is the safest to use.

  The last of them will require that you trust your virtual firewall and that it is configured in such a way that anything on the private vSwitch cannot communicate with the outside world and that only the transfer of a file protocol is allowed. (or you can also allow RDP/VNC as requires it).

  Many ways to reach this solution, but they all depend on HOW you want things to be isolated.

• Port forwarding in vmware workstation 9 (how to transfer all traffic to a virtual machine)

  You are looking for here: Advanced Configuration of NAT

  I can see how to redirect ports via in a particular host vmware NAT service, but my question is how can I transfer ALL traffic to a host? I found no info on how to do that.

  Is there any way I can forward all traffic incoming on a virtual machine?

  The syntax is = : and as such it is singular in all references, so I don't know of a way around it.

• How to install VMplayer 3 network for virtual machines to comminicate with each other?

  People,

  Hello. I use VMPlayer 3.

  SE host: Windows 7
  Comments to: Windows XP and Oracle Linux 5

  I need to set up the network and activate Windows XP communicate with Oracle Linux 5.

  I followed this tutorial http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_devices_serial_2vms.html to configure 2 virtual machines in Windows 7 host machine.

  I tried to test 2 virtual machines in the way as below:

  In Linux, [user@localhost ~] $ping WindowsXP_HostName
  Release: Unknown host WindowsXP_HostName

  
  At the Windows XP command prompt:
  C:\ping localhost.localdomain
  Its release: ping localhost 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data...
  Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes = 32 time = 2ms TTL = 128

  
  He meets a few times and then disconnected by itself. It seems that Windows XP is ping itself and not Linux server. The host name of the Linux server is 'localhost' as well. It is a kind of confusion for me.

  
  From the information above, we can see that 2 VMs cannot connect between them.

  Can any folk provides a tutorial or example or case study to set VMPlayer 3 allowing 2 virtual machines communicate with each other by step?

  Very grateful in advance.

  In the guest machine, all I see is click on VMplayer-> VM-> settings-> network-> Network adapter Connection-> select Bridged: directly connected to the physical network. After that, nothing to keep.

  That's it for the network card in Virtual Machine of its parameters, and the rest is done to each guest at the guest OS level.

  In Windows 7 host machine, I don't see anything first.

  What we need to do is to assign 3 IP addresses to 3 machines: Win 7, Win XP Guest and Linux host.

  Why the world can't bring you up Google in a browser and type, the ip static windows xp, then static ip rhea of windows 7 and finally static ip.  As I have already said there are more then enough tutorials on the Internet about how to configure a static IP address by a given operating system then I suggest you Google it!  It makes absolutely no sense to write the instructions step by step for you when there are already dozens of tutorials available on the internet.

• VMWare Fusion for Mac - how much space HARD drive is my virtual machine taking?

  So, I am running VMWare Fusion on my MacBook Air, and I'm under low HARD disk space.  My Mac storage utility tells me that I have a ton of capacity used in the 'Other' bucket.  According to me, this bucket is where live VMWare Fusion.  As I understand it, technically, my complete operating system of Windows (including all files) is contained in a single file on the Mac side.  Is this correct?  Is it possible to see what capacity takes up my whole Windows Operating System (Virtual Machine)?  I hope this makes sense.  Thanks in advance for your comments!

  No, it's not correct!  A Virtual Machine is composed of many files and folders according to how it configured and used.  On a Mac if created natively by VMware Fusion using values by default so all the files that make up a virtual machine are in all of the Virtual Machine that is structurally nothing more then a regular folder except the extension .vmwarevm, it is treated differently by the launch in OS X Services.  Take a look on: work with Virtual Machine packages

  The files that make up the Virtual Machines from Windows/Linux systems and other places my being in simple ordinary folders.

  Is it possible to see what capacity takes up my whole Windows Operating System (Virtual Machine)?

  You can also see statistics for a given Virtual Machine by selecting Virtual Machine in the library because it displays size information, as well as on the General form of a virtual machine; s parameters.  Or look in the Finder and see the release of Get Info for the packaging of the Virtual Machine or the folder that contains the files that make up the Virtual Machine.

• How to add a script to a virtual machine using vmwrae api?

  Hello

  I am trying to add a new disk to an existing VM (Linux).

  To do this.

  
  

  Now to use the new drive on a run a series of commands, like:

  -format the drive

  -mount the drive

  -put this information to disk in the file/etc/fstab

  
  

  My question is how we can automate this task without actually going inside the virtual machine?
  

  This is precisely what my advice is intended to accomplish. There are many examples available online to use Invoke-VMScript to automate actions in a Linux VM.

  http://www.Google.com/search?q=invoke-vmscript+examples

  This was done from my Windows using PowerCLI workstation to a virtual machine running SLES:

  PowerCLI C:\> Invoke-VMScript -vm $vm -HostCredential $hc -GuestCredential $gc -ScriptText "uptime"

• How to install the software on a virtual machine?

  Hi, I'm new to the virtual machines.  I have a physical server running windows 7 pro 32 bit, and I set up a virtual machine running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit only.  I created so I can run MS Exchange Server 64.  I have a .iso for Exchange Server file, but I can't figure how to get it in the virtual machine.  Please explain or direct me to a good tutorial, thank you.

  In this case, either use the "shared folders" feature or share the folder on the host computer with files and map it as a network drive in the comments.

  Another option - although that do not know if it works in VMware Server - is to drag & drop the files from the host to the virtual computer.

• Noob question: how to move a file to a virtual machine to BACK?

  I have an old piece of software that I still need to run under DOS. (Believe it or not).  I managed to create a virtual machine with 6.22 running BACK.  AND, a few months ago, I managed to move files on the disk "C:".  But, it seems to me have forgotten one, and for the life of me I don't remember how I moved the files.

  So, I have a file on the host computer that I need to pass to the guest computer.  I traced the virtual disk to a drive letter on the host computer, but whenever I try to move my file, I get an error.

  What is the right way to do this?

  Thanks in advance!

  Another easy way is to write the missing files in an iso and iso power of the virtual machine

  probably even easier, then using flps - like everyine is an application that can write CDs so creating isos is trivial

• Migrate a template or a virtual machine between Sites

  Hi, I have a number of virtual machines created in a UAT environment. I can convert these VMs to models OR leave it as what.

  The requirement is to migrate the models to other sites. There is network connectivity between sites, but this is a separate system of SAN. There are the servers in each site that can be used to point to one common share, i.e. a dump file area.

  Via vCenter, I can't see a mechanism to export a model/VM in the OVF format and via the plugin Converter it seems possible to save files to the virtual machine on the disk, but the format of the workstation. In addition, the OVF tool seems to complicated for our needs.

  What process is preferable to move machines between sites - I need the process to be simple as possible.

  Thank you

  good things!  I'm glad that you have built it.

• How to reinstall the OS on a virtual machine in the virtual machine Linux drive?

  Hello

  I have problems reinstall OS in a VM Linux (on the Linux host).  I change the CD/DVD (IDE) to connect to an ISO file, save and then play the virtual machine.  I tired send "Ctrl + Alt + Delete", running after stopping, etc., but it will not re - install the new ISO standard (each time it's booting of the operating system already installed).  How can I force the VM to re - install a new ISO standard?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You can delay the start of the machine, press ESC at startup and choose to boot from the CD to the virtual machine. You can also change the boot order in the Bios to automatically boot from the CD first.

  Take a look at the following kb for details on how to change the way the virtual machine starts.

  Good luck!

• How is it possible to clone a virtual machine cluster when data warehouses not presented in source and destination

  I did not know that on ESX 3.5, in order to afin de vivre live clone a virtual machine from one ESX host to another, source and destination stores had to be available. However, I'm currently cloning a virtual machine to a host in a datacenter and cluster to one host in a different data center, but the destination store is not available at the source host and visa versa.

  How is that possible?  This is a new feature of vSphere?

  That seems to work on the console port. See this thread: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1475721#1475721
