• 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.

• 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.

• How to install vmware tools in a virtual machine running in the drive on an Ubuntu host?

  I have a host of Ubuntu (Ubuntu LTS 14.04.2)

  I have a virtual of Fedora (4.0.4 - 301.fc22.x86_64) and I would like to install vmware tools in the virtual machine.

  When I select the player VirtualMachine-> reinstall VMware Tools...

  I get a prompt in a box on the screen.  It is said:

  The following software are available for download:

  VMware Tools for Linux version 9.9.3

  What do you do?

  X Cancel |  Download and install

  Of course I choose to download and install (kind of silly question - why I want to cancel?)

  So instead of download the tools I want to install, it says:

  Your permission is required to install an update to VMware.

  Please enter the root password to move forward.

  Password: __________

  not serious.  Now, he's looking for what root password?  The virtual machine or the host?

  I have try the virtual machine and it works-not "incorrect password... try again."

  ... well Ubuntu is not a root user.  So, I try the password for the user with root privileges

  "incorrect password... try again."

  Then, he does not.

  Not very satisfying.

  The instructions that I found in my research right you will say to take the step to obtain the Tools package then (well, nothing of the rest of it is important if the tools are not available to me).

  Suggestions?  Advice?

  The required password is for the host.

  A workaround of functions is "sudo su -" of ubuntu host, then start vmplayer from the root prompt.  You must browse the virtual machine since the user doesn't have a history of openness yet... but then there is no prompt asking for a password when you try to download the tools.

• 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 to get the name of my virtual machine to a named resource pool

  Based on the script ghettoVCBg2 on the platform VIMA, I realized a backup solution for my ESXi (free) servers (also an automatic mailing is integrated ). My next goal is to integrate an automatic selection of my computer virtual based on the name of the list of resources. To understand, I have mainly two categories '1_Productive' and '2_Test', from resource pools. In both categories, there is a resource pool 'SRV' and 'CLT '.

  for example: 1_Productive-SRV-VM

  ------CLT-VM

  At the time of the backup, I have to manually enter the name of the virtual machine in a file. My question is how to integrate an automatic selection for example my pool of resources "SRV." My first idea was to shoot the 'vidiscover.pl' tool and run it for each server separately. Subsequently I merge files into a single file for ghettoVCBg2. You should know I want only to mit backup s excluded '1_Productive\SRV' VM '2_TEST\SRV '. But the name in double "SRV" can be replaced. A really great solution could be a direct integration in ghettoVCBg2

  Could someone help because I'am not very firm with perl programming...

  Thank you very much.

  Take a look at this review of the script: listVMsInResourcePool.pl

• How to install VMware Tools on multiple virtual machines

  This weekend, I'll upgrade my environment at 3.5 update 4 and, in doing so, I need to upgrade all of the vmware tools install and am looking for a way to do it without connect to each virtual machine.  I found some posts that are not too encouraging (upgrade to vShere and via updatemanager or change the settting on the virtual machine to check an update of tools when it boot) I was looking for a script or something that's not going to be too demanding.

  Thank you

  You can select a group of virtual machines, right-click and choose Install/Upgrade VMware Tools.  Make sure the automatic upgrade of the tools is selected, and who should do it.

• Install the APEX on a virtual machine with 11g db xe

  Hello.
  
  I'll install APEX in my Centos 64 bit (guest) running in a VMWare on my Mac OS (host).
  
  I'm downloading:
  
  (1) database 11 g R2 XE
  (2) Developer SQL 3.1
  (3) APEX 3.1
  (4) Web server
  
  And I have a few questions:
  
  (1) it is necessary to install the instant client on mac to install APEX or it is possible to install it by using sqldeveloper?
  (2) if I need to install the instant client, its possible to use those http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/intel-macsoft-096467.html here to access a 11 g R2 xe or there is a specific version for this version of the DB?
  (3) could you please share your experience using the above configuration? :)
  
  Thank you

  When you install a database, you'll have to SQL * more as a tool to access. You don't need additional client software (including SQL Developer). In order to install the Apex, SQL * more is all you need (Setup Guide walks you through SQL * Plus the facility anyway). Why you would do in SQL Developer? It only complicated things.

  So:
  -Download and install 11g XE
  -Run SQL * more
  -Download and install Apex

• How to install the virtual machine tools

  I am new to this, and it's fun to find how to do everything. I'm stuck now, so need some help, I did search but could not find definitive answers.

  I have ESXi installation, it will run on a dedicated slide. I have a windows-based virtual machine that I use to test.

  I downloaded the iso of VM Tools for Linux to install on the server so that I can push to the client virtual machines. I can't understand how to install the VM on the server tools so that I have the option in the console to push to turn the VM to the client tools.

  Is there something I'm completely missing? The iso is for linux, which is the server. I assumed it would be installed on the server that would allow me to push to windows clients.

  Help, please!

  VMware tools for Windows is already included in the installation of ESX.

  Customer Infrastructure using, go to the console of the virtual Windows computer and logon. Right-click of the virtual machine in the inventory on the left, then select "install/upgrade VMware tools. If Autorun is enabled the installation starts automatically, if not the Windows.iso is loaded into the virtual computer CD-ROM drive and you have to run setup.exe.
