How to share between the host drive and the virtual machine in the car?

I wanted to use my virtual XP to print using my old printer that the printer driver can only support XP. But I can't find a way to link my host and the virtual drive, because my file is located in the host drive.

1 change the settings of the virtual machine

2. go to the Options tab

3. Select shared folders

4. Select always enabled

5 Add the folder that you want to use

6. Select map as a network drive in Windows prompt

  • The traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter Server is secure?

    Dear team,

    You pray let me know is traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter server (vice versa) is secure?

    The VC and ESXi version is 5.1U1a

    Mr. VMware

    Default SSL certificates are installed automatically. However, you can configure the third-party SSL certificates to make the environment more secure.

  • I had the opportunity to see all the drives in windows 7 and XP virtual machine on the same screen. He suddenly disappeared, and I need.

    As I set up my computer with Windows 7 Professional and XP virtual machine, I could see all the readers, W7 and the virtual machine on the same screen. I can't do now for some reason any. All I can understand what is is past is that I got a page long list of automatic updates of W7 and some XP updates and as far as I know, the current page of readers has disappeared since then.  I need this feature if I can transfer files between W7 and XP because some of my programs are in one program of windows. I have nothing special when I installed XP to achieve this functionality, so I really don't understand what it controls.  How can I get that back?

    I have solved my problem by trying everything that moves. Here are my steps:
    -Open Virtual PC and minimize it
    -In the Windows 7 machine, click Start click all programs
    -Select Windows Virtual PC
    -Select Windows Virtual PC (in the drop-down list)
    -When the window opens, right-click on Windows XP Mode
    -Select share >
    -Select the homegroup (read/write)

    -Minimized open Virtual PC
    -Select my computer
    Windows 7 disks will be under other

    I hope this works for you also. As I said, it worked like this until I had a huge list of automatic updates of Windows 7 and XP more some updates. Apparently, one of them cut something.

  • How to connect 2 physical computers and 2 virtual machines?

    Hello!

    This is my first time in the forum and I would like to ask about the network configuration for an installation of 2 physical machines and 2 virtual machines. Each physical computer has a virtual machine (all operating systems is Windows 7 or 8). I don't have a level of advanced network management, but I would like to ask how to resolve a case of example of this configuration? I was wondering for communication between machines and communication examining between 1 machine with the other 3.

    Thanks in advance! If someone has already asked this, please tell me the reference.

    Welcome to the community,

    VMware Player offers 3 configuration settings, bridged, NAT as well under the name Host-Only network. Host-Only can be used if the virtual machine does not require a connection with the exception of the other virtual machines and the host network. NAT is typically used if the virtual machine requires network access, but didn't need to be accessible to the outside. In your case, the possibility of using is connected by a bridge, which will connect seamlessly the virtual machine to the physical network.

  • Start and stop Virtual Machines with the system

    Hello

    In a server cluster @vcenter HA/DRS 5.1, I enabled start and stop virtual machines with the system option but after I checked two days later, he is off again somehow. What makes this option off? I had a power failure in the datacenter. vCenter server has not been upward. I started all of the ESXi servers manually then went all VMs account is declining. I want that they start automatically when server ESXi upward.

    Thanks in advance,

    Thank you. This option is more valid than if the hosts are part of an HA Cluster license. I suspect that you configured through the traditional vSphere Client and that it is a bug with this client. If you try with the new vSphere Web Client, you will find a notice that it is disabled and there is no button "Edit".

  • USB HDD as a data store and storage of VMS and new virtual machines

    I have a server Esxi 4.1 with 1 TB RAID 5 storage and 3 virtual machines. The storage is full and no space for another HARD disk, so my question is: would it be possible to use a USB HDD as a data store and could be included as a storage for new virtual machines or the VM? If so, could someone let me know how to do it because I'm not able to detect the HARD disk on the host itself.

    No, it is not possible to use a USB drive as a data store.

  • How to install an OS (windows7) invited on a virtual machine

    Dear friends,

    I installed ESXi 4.1 on a system (AMD64).  I can't connect to the ESXi host of vsphere client on a laptop computer.

    I have created a virtual machine for windows 7.  Screenshot attached. As is apparent from the screenshot, I created a virtual disk for windows7, which is presented as "Windows7/Windows7.vmdk [datastore2].

    After this point, I'm not clear on the next step on how to install windows7 on the virtual machine.

    -I guess, I have to reboot the host, ESXi, with a CD of windows7, I did.

    -After a few screens, it shows the list of partitions, as shown in the two screenshots.  But none of the partitions show the virtual disk, I created and allocated using vsphere client.  In vsphere, I created a file of virtual disk of size 256 GB (maximum allowed, even though I have 1 TB * 2 discs), hoping I'd find this 256 GB as partition, on which I can install windows.

    - But I can't find a relevant 256 GB partition.

    I'm doiing it the right way?

    Is there a particular method for installing an operating system on a virtual disk file?

    Thanks in advance and best regards,

    RV

    It depends on your needs. With ESXI, which does not allow direct access to virtual machines (as you have already discovered) you will usually have the best performance and reliability. If you need to use the host and run virtual machines as part of it, then you might want to take a look at products like VMware Workstation or VMware Player who install an operating system (Windows or Linux) on top.

  • Convert a hard drive to a virtual machine

    I have a server that the material died which has mirrored hard SATA hard drives in them.  I would like to convert the data on that hard drive to a virtual machine and put it in my vCenter, but I am unable to start the server.  What is the best way to do it?  I can mount and read data from Windows on another machine.  Right now I'm trying to back up data until an acronis image and then use converter to import.  I think it is easier to sense, though.   I also have a backup server Symantec Backup Exec, but I do not have the agent ESX for Symantec.

    Thank you

    Dave

    If you want to try the converter, just fix the disk on a physical host somewhere and run a normal conversion.

    Once you have done this, create a new empty virtual machine with no disc and you fix vmdk for the reader you want migrated to this new virtual machine. Chances are that you will get the normal NT Loader boot error when you try to start, but you should be able to solve this problem using a fo the following:

    DiskPart

    Fdisk

    Recovery Boot

    You can also consider to use something else than VMware converter - perhaps something like Acronis True image?

    Good luck and please feed back.

  • Free version of ESXi can support for configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client?

    I have read and found some documents on ESXi.

    According to the documents, I know that ESXi free version does not support some advanced virtual machine configurations and does not support write to ESXi host permission. But when I download ESXi from vmware.com, I can't find the free version. He will always be a trial of the licensed version edition because I can always do the configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client installation. I can also run scripts (lamw) pl in vMA to stop the ESXi host (authorization to write ok?)

    Then I confused. How can I get the really free version of ESXi? Or will the free version after 60 days of evaluation?

    Start/stop above configuration is in vSphere Client via 'Configuration'-> "start/stop VM"-> "Properties"... «-> "Allow the virtual computers start and stop automatically with the system" actions setting and stop virtual machines can be configured to "comments"turn off computer"or"Suspend".» Can any body tell me if it's supported by ESXi free edition?

    Is the free version of vSphere Client too? Because when I use the vSphere Client, he told me that I have 60 days of evaluation. This confused me again. I think that vSphere Client is always free, am I right?

    Any suggestion or advice is much appreciated.  _

    Micky

    Configuration of start and stop virtual machines is available with the free version and licensed, with the free version you would be configured everything via vSphere Client, where as with a licensed version, you can optionally use scripts to configure it and also issue restarts/stops using scripts.

    Second, shutdownHostViaSOAPAPICall.pl for the version licensed and free of ESX (i), this script will work in both free and licensed because it uses direct SOAP calls emulating the vSphere Client communication. Take a look at the documentation for details, but this of course is not supported by VMware.

  • Partitions of hard drive on a virtual machine

    Hello

    I have a few questions related to the hard drive on a virtual machine.

    1. is it possible to create multiple hard drive partitions (virtual hard disk, we can add, modify the virtual machine settings) that we have in our PC? In the case the ESX Server and Workstation?

    2. in WMware Workstation by clicking on change settings for virtual machine, I've added an extra IDE drive and allocated 1 GB of space, so now I have two hard drives. I said my virtual machine (Windows XP is the guest operating system), I expected to see the additional drive as "D:", but it was not! What stage is omitted by me?

    Thanks to AdvanceSalahuddin

    1. Yes.  Treat your virtual machine exactly as you would with a physical.

    2. yet once, as you would in a physical installation.  When you add a hard drive, you must go in disk management, select the new drive, create a partition on it and format the partition.

    Use "NAT" or "Host-Only' networking for your virtual machine, NOT bridged.

    Activate a shared folder on your virtual computer configuration, map as a network of virtual machine of your shared folder on the host drive.

  • How to replace a laptop HARD drive and restore the backup without a Vista startup disk?

    Hello
     
    I need to replace the drive HARD internal of my laptop and have a picture of it, created using the backup feature in Vista, on an external USB HDD. However, I've upgraded to Vista XP via a download online and don't have a Vista disc.

    How can I create a Vista startup disk that will give access to the backup/restore function, which allowed me to restore my backup to the new HARD disk image once I did the replacement? And is there anything else I forget?

    Thanks in advance!

    You can borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    It is General info how to make a Vista startup repair disk:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    See you soon.

  • How to share a second hard drive with the residential group / network?

    Initially, I posted this to the security and privacy but we told him it should be under the sons of the network.  Here's hoping someone can help.

    I have a desktop computer and a laptop both running W7 Home Professional 64 bit.  On the desktop, I have 2 hard drives - C has programs, D has the data.  On the laptop, I'm just a hard drive.

    Each machine can see the other time under residential group and network.  From the Office I can access files that are on the laptop but I can't do the reverse.

    The laptop can see the desktop drive D and all folders that I shared, but when I try to dig into a folder I get a message saying I don't have permission to access the folder.  In this case, if I try to access using either homegroup or the network.

    On the desktop, when I look at the properties of the D drive it shows as a shared network drive.  Individual records within D show shared with permissions of read/write with anyone and/or homegroup.

    What did I do wrong (or failed to do) to allow me to access the files on the disk D of desktop from the laptop?

    Hello

    Step 1: Try to run the troubleshooter of shared folders and check.
    Reference: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Share-files-with-someone

    Step 2: Try to give permissions to specific user through which you are trying to access these files or folders.

    Step 3: You can also try the advanced sharing and check.
