How to use the host operating system

According to best practices, how he the host operating system should be used. Applications must be installed on the HOS or it must be installed in HOS and GOS be left to access the application in the virtual machine.

I would like to create two virtualized partitions

(1) HOS

(2) GOS 1

(3) GOS 2

So I would like to know if any heavy application must be installed in HOS.

Keep all the stuff on the guest has some advantages

-You can run it anywhere where you have a VMWare host. This gives you great flexibility.

-You can create easy backups, no need to set up the entire operating system again and again and install all applications again and again.

-You can easily freeze the State of operational guest before making any changes (see before).

-Depending on your environment, you become what some independent business strategies.

    That's right, as long as you have not added and other virtual disks of different folders on the host of the virtual machine, you can probably did not.

    After developing the size of the virtual disk, you must also change the size of the partition in the guest operating system.

  • Is it possible I can get the virtual computer connectivity after restart to connect to the local network in the host operating system?

    Hi all

    For some reason, I have to disable and then enable the LAN connection in the host operating system. If some virtual machines are running during this time, connectivity all VMs for out-of-world are lost, they cannot connect to the host even more (by running the ping command). I tried a few methods to retrieve the connectivity, but all have failed, for example,

    1. reboot the virtual computer

    2. restart VMware Workstation

    3. restart the corresponding system services in the host operating system

    The only way I can retrieve all is to restart the host operating system itself.

    Yes, is there short any path, I can retrieve the connectivity of these virtual machines?

    Thanks in advance.

    Sometimes out of some firewall programs is not enough (they keep still themselves installed in the network of the host stack, even if they are 'closed').  You may need to uninstall to make sure that it is not interfere.  (Search the forums for support for your firewall software see if anyone else is having problems with vmware and 360 safe guard).

  • 10 comments VM Windows will need to be recreated when moving to El Capitan Yosemite in the host operating system?

    I have 8 Fusion installed on Yosemite. I have a guest VM Windows 10 and works well. When I install El Capitan, do I have to recreate the Windows 10 VM guest or it should run with El Capitan as the host operating system? Thank you!

    Hello

    Upgrade to El Capitan shouldn't matter to your guest operating system, it must continue to operate as is.

    However, DO NOT wipe your drive on the update as then it might erase your VM.

    So best thing - as always - is to make a backup of your VM - with the virtual machine closed down and merge not running - before the upgrade to El Capitan.

  • How to transfer the old operating system to Windows XP on a drive USB3 to allow the start of a new XP computer

    I have Windows XP SP3 on a Dell computer. I have a new computer with Windows 7 Pro.

    I want the option to be able to start my new computer with XP and run it as an alternative to USB.

    Is there a way I can completely transfer the contents of the drive WITH the XP OPERATING SYSTEM on a regular external USB3 drive so I can start the new computer using XP works like the operating system, when I need?

    Thank you.

    You do not have.  Windows XP doesn't work this way (start of the external drive).

    You can virtualize the old computer (physical to virtual conversion) and run it as a virtual machine on your new system.  Although, honestly, it would be a bit beyond the type of assistance usually given in these home user forums.  A Google search would be ways to virtualize a physical system and/or choose which Manager of virtualization that you want to use (Microsoft VirtualPC, VirtualBox, VMware Player/workstation, etc...)

  • Satellite M100-165 with XP: how to upgrade the BIOS to use the Vista operating system?

    Hello

    I use my laptop with Windows XP and BIOS version 2.80.

    I want to install Windows Vista, but when I download the BIOS of compatible v5.40 Vista it says

    "This Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista!

    Do NOT install this Bios if you have Windows XP as operating system running! »

    When you download the version 2.80 compatible XP, I got the same message saying that it was not compatible with Vista.

    Now, should I first install Vista with XP compatible BIOS 2.80 and then install the compatible BIOS 5.40 5.40 or Vista install XP first (no traditional update available, only Windows updates are present) and then install Vista?

    I'm afraid of a bad flash by installing the BIOS compatible Vista in XP.

    Hello

    the best solution would be to do the following:

    1. backup your data and download the drivers for Vista.
    2. make sure that all stored/saved/etc.
    3. install the bios
    4 restart the machine and install Vista
    5. After installing Vista, install drivers and be happy :)

  • RDP of comments to the host operating system

    Using VMware server 1 on a box of Windows XP 32 bit, I have a ubuntu vitual current execution machine. I have ssh open via the vitural ubuntu machine since I know how to secure * nix a lot more than I do windows. But sometimes I have to use a program on my XP machine remotely, in which case I need to remote desktop of Ubuntu to Windows hosted OS virtual machine. Whenever I do that, the RDP Protocol to connect, but then freezes, closes and I get the error 'connection reset by peer '.

    I googled for answers to this problem, but have only found people trying to rdp between the host and the guest. This isn't what I do.

    Are there any changes I have to do to make this work?

    It's a normal bridged interface. Thank you.

    You connect virtual machine Ubuntu to XP box... the XP box that hosts the same virtual machine Ubuntu?  So then realize that RDP to XP does NOT allow for the interaction of the console.  If the RDP session has control.  But the RDP session is displayed on the virtual machine, which is displayed on the host XP computer.  If you can not RDP to host any virtual machine running on XP host.  (Try RDPing from another physical machine to your XP box and see what is happening on the screen of your XP box.)   Windows Server operating system can be configured to be the Terminal Server farm, which would allow you to RDP to host because you do not take the console.  But not on XP (Vista or Win7.)

    So, you'll have to RDP to another physical or virtual computer that is NOT hosted on the area of XP you are trying to connect to.

  • Portege 3490CT: clock stops and how to remove the second operating system?

    I recently bought a 3490CT that has a few probs.
    (1) the continuous clock to stop--has a separate battery? It has an impact on things like sending emails, which are always evil dated/timed. You can set an hour latter, it stops again.

    (2) it came with 2 operating systems, Wind98 and Win2000... you get a choice at startup, how do I remove the old?

    (3) what updates are available to make it faster - playing DVDs on the "plug in the drive" is slow and jerky...

    Thanks to all, any info appreciated.

    Which one do you mean? The clock of the OS?
    Check in the BIOS if the time and data are correct.
    Eventually, you use settings area of bad weather and time of the laptop is going to be permanent synchronize with internet time server. This option that you can find in the Date and time properties
