• How to run VMWare workstation as a service?

  Hello

  I installed VMware Workstation 7 (latest version) and created a virtual machine. The problem is that once I have disconnected the host, the virtual machine stops!

  Is there a setting to prevent this? It should be able to run VMWare Workstation as a service.

  Thank you

  M.R.

  Running a process that wasn't supposed to be run as a service was taken over ad nauseam on Internet Google is your friend.

  Although it is possible to start the process as a service, however unless you use a program that can well handle the cessation of treatment and or restart the messages from the host and transmit them to the virtual machine, then it does not really work as a true service since it will not be the appropriate communication channels to activate the Virtual Machine to make a correct and controlled stop when the host is restarted or shutdown and that can damage the Virtual Machine.  If you plan to run a VM as a Service under VMware Workstation then I offer so you have good backups (which we should have anyway) and make sure you have access to working distance before running it as a service you can do a controlled stop on the VM before the reboot or shutdown of the host if you have not a utility appropriate to deal with it properly and safely.

  Another option is to use VMware Server, but keep in mind it seems to be the end of life and not maintained more.

• How can I run VMWare Workstation on a virtual host?

  I need to run VMWare workstation 7.1 on a 2008 R2 virtual running on ESXi.  The software installs fine, but when I try to start the virtual machines I get the following error 'you are running VMWare Workstation via an incompatible hypervisor. You can not power on a Windows virtual machine until this hypervisor is disabled. »

  Is it still possible?

  Due to a design flaw of material in the first AMD - V compatible processors, we do not support AMD - V on your host.  Hardware support for virtualization (AMD - V or VT - x) for the virtual machine outside is needed to get nested VMs to work.

• VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V system role before running VMware Workstation

  Ouch. I just started to do some Win Phone 8 and development Win, and all simulators are needed for development.

  This means that a dev to Win8 may only work on their host... I'm sure it would work in a virtual machine.

  Can I make for happy? (Hyper V might have to win here... sigh).

  VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V system role before running VMware Workstation

  Once you install the Hyper-V role on your host, your host is no longer running Windows 8 as the native operating system.  It runs Hyper-V as the native operating system, and Windows 8 runs as OS management within a privileged under Hyper-V VM.  With the Hyper-V role installed, * everything * runs in a virtual machine under Hyper-V.

  So to run a virtual machine under my computer in Windows 8 under Hyper-V, you must be able to run a nested VM.  It's possible with Hyper-V, the hypervisor host, but with the updates in custody, I mentioned above.

• How to configure vmware workstation and server Suse 10 as operating system prompted

  Hi, I installed vmware workstation 6.5 on vista and Suse 10 as guest operating system.  I keep Suse as default (without any network configuration).  I modified the default vmware gateway 192.168.2.1 keep even as window by default gateway settings. I also changed to the subnet to 192.168.2.0.  The IP address is replaced by 192.168.2.128. IP address of my Vista is 192.168.2.4 and DNS Server 4.4.4.1 and 4.4.4.2.

  I tried to ping between host and guest, and comments to the host, but still received the error of "destination host unreachable". It does not matter using host only or NAT mode.

  All Documents available? All advice? What do I have to configure Suse network. ?

  Thank you

  INET addr:192.168.30.128 Bcast:192.168.30.255 mask: 255.255.255.0

  If the IP address of comments has the correct value you use VMnet8, not VMnet1. It should work, but this isn't the network "host-only '. That's what I need the .vmx file for. If this indicates that the virtual NETWORK adapter is configured as 'host-only' the IP of comments is wrong. It must be 192.168.17.x in this case.

  However... try to get a ping of the IP address, not name. Depending on the configuration you have posted, you should try to ping the 192.168.30.1 customer and 192.168.30.128 host. Don't forget that cannot work if your client is configured to use instead of VMnet1 VMnet8. If it is really configured to use VMnet1 you must change the IP of comments that I wrote above.

  If the host and the guest have active firewall disable them for testing purposes.

  Furthermore, by default, VMware installs a DHCP for VMnet1 and VMnet8 service. So if this service is still running on your host computer, you can assign the DHCP client and he gets the appropriate automatically for the network IP address.

  I don't no how to open the *.vmx in text format.  I noticed that vmnet1 IP address on the side of the BACK is 192.168.17.1 but side comments, it is established as 192.168.20.0.

  It is a text file. Just open in an editor and copy and paste it or attach the file to your next post.

• I'll be able to run VMware Workstation on Win 2008 Web edition?

  Hi all

  It is my first post so I apologize if this question has been answered before but I have a hard time finding the location of research right and the forum.

  Any help would be appreciated thanks.

  The host is currently a windows Server 2003 with vmware worksation installed... We have a... hp Server will spare...

  TO clarify, you'll move VMware Workstation on a different host?

  They are for example only development as a domain controller to run various bits n bobs in the dev environment.

  If the host is still underway for dev, and you don't mind being in a bit of territory not supported, so go ahead and try.  Download Workstation test and see what happens.  As I said, as far as I KNOW, Web Edition may miss a few things like some of the tools of administration or server roles.  But that will probably not e problem to host virtual machines.

  If there are known issues with VMware workstatsion and web 2008 so that we would have to look at a change in the operating system.

  Beyond the legal bits on not not using Web Edition, for anything other than web hosting, I suppose that you'd be ok.  What is the attitude of your shop to Linux?  Or license Windows 2003 current server, can it be transferred to the HP Server?  (e.g. non - OEM license or volume license.)

  Now, my problem is the following.

  Any isttalled of the virtual machine in VMWare Workstaion can surf the internet and see the other devices connected to the local network. Physical and virualized machines.

  Virtual machines installed in the ESXi peut obtain DHCP from the DHCP server on the local network or physical addresses.

  Virtual machines installed in the ESXi cannot ping the GW, nothing beyond the Gulf war or other machines on the same LAN. BUT they can ping the ESXi...

  For ESXi virtual machine is implemented with bypass and four NIC

  Now, anyone have no idea why my Windows machine gets DHCP but cannot send traffic the other way around? For me t looks like it stops at the level of the ESXi host. But I canoe understand why.

  Welcome to the community,

  I'm not sure, however it could be related to fashion "Promiscuous" which may need to be enabled. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/287

• Unable to run VMware-workstation-full - 7.1.1 - 282343.exe

  I just bought an upgrade to my current workstation 6.5 x to 7.x

  I downloaded the installer of VMware using their download manager and use the fciv utility to check the MD5 matches the one provided on the download page.

  I am running XP SP3 with all the latest updates from Microsoft.

  Whenever I try to run the installer, I get an error message indicating that the web page contains errors:

  Online: 43
  Error: 'gPlatform' is undefned

  I have an option to use the built-in Internet Explorer script debugger, but that did not help because he's actually trying to open Visual Studio 2005 to debug (which I use for development).  Can I get

  The interface error user has expired.

  I hope that someone can provide a better suggestion than (a) the upgrade of Windows (not an option) or (b) get my money back, which seem to be my options is valid only for the moment.

  Temporarily disable all firewall and AV software and make sure that you don't limit the use of the js code in Internet Explorer.

  The installation runs a script js to start the GUI installation.

  Also start your installation from a folder with only the installation package.

• How to run vmware quickprep

  Hello

  Is quickprep a standalone utility that can be run as sysprep or it is an automated tool that runs during the creation of pools, I'll try to find where it is and how to use it but cannot find a way.

• VMware Workstation 7. Machine.The virtual Windows XP file specified is not a virtual disk

  Hi all, thank you in advance for your help and sorry for my English.

  I was normally using Workstation on a Win7 system, emulating a Windows XP system. Now I try to turn on the machine and the following message appears:

  "The specified file is not a virtual disk.

  I reviewed the logs, the file .vmx and I can't find the error. I think that VMware can recognize the virtual drive as a SCSI unit.

  The files in the directory of virtual disk:

  VMware.log

  VMware - 0.log

  VMware - 1.log

  VMware - 2.log

  Thanks again for your help

  As I have not examined the content of the hard I cannot give you a definitive answer but I'll tell you that, with the obvious corruption, shown in the first two sectors of the disk recovery at this stage, it is necessary advanced if it is not very advanced and can also be extremely laborious to get you in very advanced techniques.  The problem is that I don't have time to explain, and or to teach someone how to do what else can be right now because it was not learned and understood all night and just can not be easily passed along.

  Suffice to say if you did not good backups along the way, while it may have been a hard lesson learned I bet that in the future do you good backups from that point forward to easily recover when something bad happens new!

• VMWare Workstation 7.1.2 64 - bit Windows host failed cloning

  I've tried (and failed) three times to create a clone of 90 GB 64 - bit Ubuntu guest VM on the host computer and two different external USB HDs.   It fails at around the same 3/4 point, with the file .cl1 (?) a little over 30GB, with the message "vmware cloning failed: the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error."  There is plenty of space on the target disk.  The guest computer is turned off.

  I did used a few hours of research and am surprised that such a relatively simple problem is not a part of traffic, which brings me to think/hope that it is a question very - simple, which miss me.

  Thank you in advance,

  John Leibacher

  Unless you make a clone from a snapshot (a clone full or independent?), why not just copy the VM guest where you need to go, and then open the virtual machine, change the name etc... and to answer "I copied it" when you start in its new location?
