• 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.

• 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 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.

• How to run VMWARE Workstation 7.1.2 securely on Windows 7?

  Hello

  I downloaded a trial version of vmware workstation 7.1.2 to check, if I could use it to keep a proven windows 2000 on a windows host environment 7.

  When I run a virtual machine, the system tells me, that the "VmWare authorization Service" does not work. When I try to start from the list of services of the Task Manager, I get the error code_6000004.

  On a forum German vmware, I found the advice to disable windows security feature 7 UAC completely. But that has not yet solved the problem I've tried with a non-administrative user account.

  Finally it works, but only in a dangerous way:

  So far, I only managed to run VMWARE 7.1.2 on Windows 7, if I disable UAC AND log in as administrator. Which would be Ok for experiment from time to time, but do not regularly the computer as is - for good reason - not recommended by windows.

  Can someone please give me some adivce on my questions:

  How can I use VMWare Workstation on a host of Windows 7 with an non-administratif account?

  Better would be, how can I use VMWare Workstation as a standard user AND you have UAC on a recommended security level?

  Is disabling the functions of central security in fact the adivce official to run VmWare on a host of Windows 7?

  I know, Windows 7 is quite new and a lot of software has not properly adapted to him so far, but in the meantime, it is still not easy to find an older host OS to be able to correctly use VMWare (on Windows 2000 as a host, it worked great and I do not want to give it up so easy)

  Kind regards

  I just removed the XML that has been added automatically

  I used Vmware Workstation 7.x for Windows 7 without problems so far. I installed the package as an administrator, of course, but then used the user to create and manage virtual machines. I have UAC in default mode and does not get a prompt either do anything.

  The option "Run as Administrator" is just to load an application with administrator credentials already loading in the token to access at the outset and you will get a prompt later, but there should be no difference here.

• Our guests in ESXi running VMWare Workstation can join LAN

  Educaional purposes, I have the following configuration:

  1 'server' with 6 cores and 16GB of RAM

  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.

  T.I.A. for your time and help

  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

• VMware Workstation on Windows 2008 Server R2 9

  Can someone tell me if VMware Workstation 9 is supported running on Windows 2008 Server R2?

  And you cannot select your own criteria!

  

• ESXi on VMWare Workstation with widows 2008 comments

  Hello

  I am about to begin a new deployment and I tested some things before that I have shell out money for new equipment and software.

  I tested Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit on VMWare Workstation and everything is good.  My VMWare Workstation is on Win 7 64 bit

  Ultimately, this equipment will run on ESX, vSphere Essentials through.   To test this, I installed ESXi 4 Update 1 inside VMWare Workstation.

  Because the vSphere client is not supported on Windows 7, I installed the Client vSphere on Win XP 32 bit inside another guest of VMWare Workstation.

  During the installation of Windows 2008 R2 64-bit on ESXi, via vSphere on XP, I get the following error

  Trying to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU in is not compatible with the 64-bit mode.

  Well, I know that my cpu is 64-bit capable, because I'm already under 64-bit so much already.

  It worries me a bit, because I wasn't expecting this obstacle - my test was to validate a number of other things, not this and now I think I might switch to Hyper-V.

  I already searched the forums, and from what I found, nothing has solved the problem yet

  However, there could be a saving grace - could the fact that I'm under esxi in vmware workstation cause this problem?

  Paul

  You're out of luck.

  You cannot run 64-bit inside a virtual ESX clients.

  Nested VMs have no VT support, you need to run a 64-bit client

• 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:

  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.

• Vista install VMWare Workstation chokes during final phase

  Hello

  I am running VMWare Workstation on Win XP; tried to install Vista Ultimate SP 1 32-bit on a virtual machine from an iso image.  Ran fine until the final phase where Vista checks the material to see how fast he is.  It blue screens with a Stop 0x0000000E (0x8102495E, 0x8F4A4850, 0xC0000420, 0 x 0000000) condition.  I tried to run the installation on VMWare Server with the same result.

  Vista won't start in Mode safe, as he was never officially completed the installation.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

• How to add a second hard drive Ubuntu Server, that runs on vmware workstation 9

  Hello

  I am running vmware workstation on windows 9 8, and I installed Ubuntu 12.10 as a virtual machine on my SSD. I installed a second hard drive in the machine and use the "Add a HDD" feature on vmware workstation to add and pre-allocate space. The problem is that the drive does not appear in Ubuntu. I have checked/Media and / dev, I expected to see something like /sda *. It is a procedural step, I missed it, please help!

  Do I have to mount the drive in a special way? How can I check if it is properly attached?

  Thank you!

  What you said so far, it's like adding a second physical drive to a physical computer and the operating system cannot access until it was partitioned and formatted, and then it can be mounted.  To do the same thing in a VM!

• Disadvantages with VMware Workstation (7) running on a server rack Xeon?

  Hello

  We intend to run VMware Workstation on my company (7) on a server rack Xeon based (the next generation of Xeon, i.e. Beckton/Nehalem-EX, with 8 cores, planned in the 1st quarter of 2010), and then access all of these virtual machine guests (based on Windows, both the server and desktop kind/flavor) by separate remote desktop connections direct to them.

  I had a very hard time, trying to find out if there is (large or small) disadvantages with this approach?

  We do not want to use Vmware Server for this, because its characteristics (for example with respect to snapshots) are lower than those of VMware Workstation, and nor do we want to use ESXi, because we always want to run Windows as a host on the server operating system.

  Is VMware Workstation our best choice then, and there will be no significant disadvantage? I think it's as if there is a missing in the VMware portfolio, product i.e. namely I miss a server product with all the features of VMware Workstation, which still runs on a different host OS, what am I?

  In any case, again, the main question is:

  This plan of ours is stupid, and in this case how should we best solve it? Is there really an advantage by using VMware Server instead of VMware Workstation in this situation and in this case more exactly what?

  Any input or answers will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

  VMware Workstation on a good Windows installation will do you fine.

  Ideal if you conclude that the MS-host in this day you don't need no matter what Antivirus or firewall.

  Then such a facility will do what you expect.

  I wouldn't consider VMserver - workstation surpasses VMserver my experience

• VMware Workstation Player does not start on Fedora 23

  I've recently updated to Fedora 22 23 Fedora and can no longer run VMware Workstation 12.0.1 Player.

  I tried to uninstall the component using sudo vmware-Installer - components uninstall = vmware-player and then put it back, nothing will do. The installation is always successful, but when I try to run the application, it runs for a little while, then give up. I tried to uninstall it remove once again the previous configuration, but it still doesn't work.

  I am running

  Workstation Fedora 23

  Linux kernel 4.2.6 - 300.fc23.x86_64

  3.18.1 GNOME release

  I got it working by following this link: http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1624

  It's a very simple solution. Basically, you just copy the libraries that are not in the directory of vmware.

  As root, run the following commands:

  # cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib
  # cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgio-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libgio-2.0.so.0/libgio-2.0.so.0
  # cp -afv /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libglib-2.0.so.0/libglib-2.0.so.0
  # cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libgmodule-2.0.so.0/libgmodule-2.0.so.0
  # cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libgobject-2.0.so.0/libgobject-2.0.so.0
  # cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgthread-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libgthread-2.0.so.0/libgthread-2.0.so.0
  

  Although I have not yet tested all virtual machines, this has at least the operational programme. It should solve the problem entirely. If for some reason vmware is not installed in/usr/lib/vmware, just replace the directory there. If you are unsure, running vmware whereis should tell you.

  Edit:

  I can say that this solution was able to load my virtual machines with great success. I don't need to reinstall VMWare on one of the boxes of Fedora, however (and removing the configuration files), but after that, it worked fine.

• VMware Workstation 10 - not enough physical memory...

  So, I'm aware of the Windows KB2995388 8.1 update that causes this problem:

  Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings. To solve this problem, decrease the size of the memory of this virtual machine at 460 MB, increase the amount of physical memory for all the virtual machines to 3296 MB or adjust the parameters of extra memory to enable more virtual memory machine to swap. It is possible that native and/or services applications have locked memory which could help launch the virtual machine. Close unnecessary applications or services can free up enough memory to start this virtual machine. If you were able to on this Windows virtual machine on that host computer in the past, try restarting the host computer. Reboot may allow you to use a little more memory host to run virtual machines.

  but after upgrading my OS today I have the same symptoms and can't find installed KB2995388.

  I tried running VMware Workstation as an administrator with no luck either.

  Y at - it no alternative workaround, or is there an another Windows update that can cause this problem?

  Thanks for any help and advice.

  Yes, other updates can cause the same issue, because the change that was made in KB2995388 was incorporated in to many other more recent updates as well.

  What version of Workstation do you run?  If you run Workstation 10.0.4 or newer on Windows 8.1, this should no longer be a problem.
