Import of Parallels VM

I'm try VMware Fusion for the first time. I already have a virtual XP in Parallels installed on my MacBook Pro machine. The help instructions for importing a Parallels virtual machine to find the .pvs file... However, on my machine, the .pvs file is within a folder file VMware does not open. I tried opening the file in the Finder and using Open with... on the file .pvs, but VMware did not like this method. Can someone help me to import my Parallels VM? Thank you.

VMware Fusion 2 Release Notes - known issues

VMware Fusion 2 does not matter directly Parallels Desktop 4 virtual machines.

Due to a recent change to the file format of virtual machine Parallels, VMware Fusion 2 cannot directly import Parallels Desktop 4 virtual machines. To work around this problem, download and install VMware Converter for Windows in your Parallels virtual machine, Parallels Tools uninstallation and run the VMware Converter to import the PC. The detailed procedure is http://www.vmware.com/download/fusion/windows_to_mac.html.

  • Fusion 8 trial goes wrong - Win8.1 VM, imported from Parallels, does not start

    I was pretty many small problems with Parallels, so I thought that I had trial VMware. After importing my Parallels VM, it does not start in Fusion. A few details:

    Fusion 8.0.1 - 3094680, downloaded today VMware.

    I installed it, accepting all the defaults. Let him import my Parallels VM work. From the first test, wouldn't start Windows. After using Windows for many years, I am familiar with its built-in startup repair functions, so I followed, as follows:

    All down took place inside the virtual machine in the virtual machine window, at the start of the first attempt.

    "Your PC came across a problem..." »

    "Automatic repair".

    "Diagnosis of your PC", which recommended that I just tried the reboot, so I did.

    "Your PC came across a problem..." »

    "Automatic repair".

    ""Diagnose your PC' this time, I chose Advanced Options > troubleshooting > Advanced Options > startup repair, which took me through "diagnose your PC", check disk for errors, ""repair disk errors. That has not helped - I found myself at the beginning: "Your PC came across a problem..." »

    I tried again the whole process and am still unable to boot: "Your PC came across a problem..." »

    Oh, my Mac is a MBP, the model of 2014, the 16 GB of RAM, a Yosemite OS X fully updated running. There are about 150 GB of SSD disk space, and the virtual machine is set to 8 GB of RAM.

    Any ideas? I'll be happy to check if suggested things and report.

    The first thing I would try would be to uninstall the drivers/additions/tools from inside the virtual machine before you import it - that is to say from inside Parallels.  Have you tried?

    Check that Parallels knows that it is a virtual machine Windows 8.1 (or the closest guest OS type he understands).  We rely on the knowledge of the OS type asked to perform various tasks during the import, and we could get confused if it is not correctly set prior to importation.  By the way, check what disk controller, we chose to use for the virtual hard disk.  SATA is probably the safest option, but I can't predict with certainty how it works if you use a type of controller of different disk for the virtual machine in Parallels.

    I hope it's useful!  Feel free to post them here if none of these solves the problem.

    See you soon,.

  • Import of Parallels

    I want to try VMware Fusion to see if it solves a problem I have with a soft under Parallels, but I have a concern. In some reading that looks like the Parallels image is rendered unusable return to Parallels, if I decide not to use VMware. In the application itself, however, it is said that import creates a copy. So the question is I will end with two images, one for the existing to Parallels and VMware? I don't want to take the risk of trashing Parellels since I already have a number of installed applications.

    TNX!

    When you import, you will receive an option to choose a location where the converted image is saved. In the end, you will have a picture format by merger.

    Parallels image will be always available in its original location.

  • Imported the Parallels VM, now I get "BusLogic SCSI adapter is not supported for 64-bit customers."

    I have a virtual machine 64-bit Fedora 16 that I use in Parallels Desktop.  During my first installation of VMWare Fusion 5, I had the opportunity to import this VM.  I did that, but when I boot, the virtual machine is suspended.  I went to the configuration of the virtual machine in VMWare and fixed a few things than the failed import.  Now I when I start the VM, I get this dialog box:

    The BusLogic SCSI adapter is not supported for 64-bit guests.

    I searched on the web and this forum, and I can't find information on solving this problem.

    I do not necessarily first as suggested by the other answer on this subject and instead, add the following line to the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file.

    scsi0.virtualDev = "lsilogic"
    

    This should fix the error message that you get without having to directly edit the hard.  Take a look at: changing the file .vmx for your VM from VMware Fusion (1014782)  

    That said, if you want detailed according to the existing real configuration recommendations then... To help understand what components are, how best to provide comprehensive diagnostic information is to use the command "Collect information to Support" the Fusion of VMware (menu bar) > help > collect Support information and then attach the .tgz file it created on your desktop for a response post.

  • Microphone delay/latency with MacBook and VMWare/Windows 7

    There is a delay of 1 second between my Mac and Windows 7 running under VMWare Fusion.  I saw old discussions on this subject, but not a resolution.

    Here is my configuration:

    MacBook Pro retina

    10.8.4 OSX

    VMWare Fusion Professional 5.0.3 (free trial)

    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

    The problem occurs when the use of the MacBook built in microphone and when you plug a microphone into the audio input of the MacBook.

    We can consider the 1 delay sec by:

    OSX: System-> sound-> entry Preferences-> click on "external Microphone".  Pay attention to the "Input Level" curve

    Windows 7/VMWare Fusion: Control Panel-> hardware and sound-> manage Audio devices-> recording.  Pay attention to the vertical counter on the right side of the window.

    Speak into the microphone and watch the levels for OSX and Windows 7 and the time between the two.

    Installation of a new virtual machine instead of importing cured Parallels microphone latency.

    Thank you much for the help!

  • Virtual machines will not open

    So far I'm not having a good time with the merger. I created two virtual machines. In one, I imported my Parallels VM XP. In the other, I installed Windows 7 Pro, and then installed my genealogy software and copied into the database. Yesterday, I had both open, comparing the two databases to make sure that I had copied later. I had to stop, so I suspended the two virtual machines and leave the merger.

    Today, when I came back, I took the W7 machine. He refused to come and basically crashed. I started again. He came, seemingly OK initially. I went to a different record in the data, and that seemed to work. But I had a problem with my wireless keyboard, so I plugged in a USB keyboard.

    At this point, the W7 machine responds more completely, the keyboard or mouse. Shortly, it crashed. And when I try to restart it, it comes up saying "internal error." Initially, there was some message not to seek a process to connect to, but now I get the message "Internal error" (after several attempts). The evidence of what can happen? What toast VM and I have to start?

    Either way, the XP VM will be no more back from suspension. It causes the Fusion go out of order, and I have to force it to quit.

    So, for the moment, nothing works. I am impressed! Can anyone offer help? I'm about to abandon my trial and return to Parallels.

    It might be useful to take a step back and cringe before sprint with Fusion.  You might be an expert, but we do not know what kind of Mac you have (speed, carrots, RAM), the amounts assigned to the virtual machines.  All this can affect the interaction with the machine runs especially 2 or several virtual machines at the same time.

    First of all, good Center seems, I suggest a reboot for the update of Mac OS X in the level of play.  Set a virtual computer at a time.  From XP, if the virtual machine is suspended you can remove suspended RAM State (or the saved state) then restart the virtual machine, it will go through the normal boot process and not repeated from the suspended state.  For this, I recommend to locate the beam of the XP VM as on the collection of information for VMware Fusion and remove the .vmss file.  To do this, before launching VMware Fusion.  If so do it separately for the VM and Win 7 as well.  Then start VMware Fusion and exercise your XP VM.  Once you think it doesn't, stop the XP VM.  Then, start the VM 7 Win and see if it still gives you an error.  If so, see details here indicated such in the Backgrounder Gathering.  If this isn't the case, exercise the VM Win7 run alone to see if it is stable.

    Once the two virtual machines are independently stable, read choose the right virtual computer settings to make sure that each virtual machine settings are tuned to your needs.  If you intend to run 2 or more virtual machines, special attention to the sum total of the use of the RAM compared to what is the surplus for OS X and its applications.

    Hope this helps,

  • Impossible to install VMware Tools in Fusion 2.0.2

    Just migrated from Parallels 4 to VMware Fusion 2.0.2 (Build 147997).

    Got the merger by download and imported the Parallels 4 VM.

    With the help of Windows XP Professional on MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo (OSX 10.5.6).

    Whenever I chose the Virtual Machine > install VMware Tools, nothing happens.

    Just change the "Cancel installing VMware Tools" menu option.

    Anywhere where I can download the file and install in my Windows XP or another option?

    Help, please

    When you choose Virtual Machine > install VMware Tools what happens is inserts ISO Image to VMware tools appropriate in the CD/DVD of the merger and Windows if the Auto-Insert Notification does not work then you must manually run the : \setup.exe in Windows Explorer. (Sure would be nice if VMware that would in the help file and it makes absolutely no sense that it is not there in the first place!)

    Note: These ISO Images are stored at: "/ Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/isoimages.

    If needed you can manually mount the image appropriately, if necessary.

  • Unity disabled in the Trial Version

    I just download Fusion to try. I had been using Parallels. I have imported the Parallels virtual machine and was running in short order. However, I can't copy and paste between my Mac and Windows apps, and enter the unit is turned off. I reinstalled the VM tools one or two times without success.

    I'm on Leopard 10.5.5 on a Mac Pro with Fusion 2.0.1 and WinXP as guest OS.  Anyone know how I can get the unit to work or copy and paste text between my Mac and Windows?

    FWIW there is no Version of the Fusion of trial!  What you download is the normal version of the fully functional version of Fusion and you can get a serial number that works for 30 days or use a purchased serial number.

    You can download one of Fusion 1.x or 2.x files Download VMware Fusion Disk Image .dmg and simply scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the appropriate download link.

  • Parallel degree importing Datapump

    Hello

    For several imports that I ran, I observed a constant degree of parallelism = 10 when creating index.

    Moreover, I parallel_degree_limit = en parallel_degree_policy = MANUAL CPU.

    The first parameter specifies that Oracle sets up to an upper limit on the DOP.

    If this explains the value observed?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    At the same time goes like this:

    all the tables, plsql definitions are created in series

    All data in the table of loading in parallel - so not parallel insertion into a table but a work process separate datapump by table - so EMP would be charged by slave1 and DEPT by slave2 - but at the same time. IN your case 10 separate tables would all be imported at the same time.

    The indexes are built at the same time you specify

    Constraints are made in series one and the same process, I think

    I wrote a short blog about it earlier that can be useful: it contains pictures! :-)

  • Import parallel-VAPP Limitaion

    Hello

    I'm trying to deploy several OVFs in parallels using the import-VAPP powercli.

    I use the RunASync indicator to ensure that the command does not wait until it finishes and returns immediately.

    But even using the Async flag I still get a problem with deployment of more than 2 in parallel.

    The first 1 I am deploying returns as expected, but when I'm deploying seconds an it just hang until there finishes although I use the RunASync indicator.

    Anyone know if there is no limit for the deployment of several OVFs at the same time? Is - this configurable?

    Thanks in advance for all wizards!

    Yes, it is an option... I'll look into that.

    Thanks again for your help! You have really helped my out here.

    Thank you.

  • Parallels-import: Dual Core = single core?

    Hello

    I try just VMWare Fusion (any Parallels 7 VM), everything works rather smooth and fast compared to the Parallels, but when I run Dragon Naturally Speaking, I thought that the profile has been initially registered with a processor dual-core and now I would have a single processor Core, and that it would mean a loss of recognition quality and performance of this software.

    Well, you see, I'm rather new to VMWare Fusion, but I would just like to know what to do to remedy the situation (if possible without reinstallign the heap).

  • Import of Windows 7 Parallels 5?

    Hi, I just got VMware Fusion and tries to import a Virtual Machine of Windows 7 Parallels 5. When I try to do, I get the message "the virtual machine is running or paused. Shut down the virtual machine and try again. "But Parallels running at all. Restart, opening and closing Parallels do not seem to work. Can anyone help?

    (Mac OS 10.7.4)

    Have you shut down the virtual machine (not parallel) or simply hang it?  You have snapshots created in Parallels?

    FWIW, conversion of VM a questions - you might be better off installing VMWare converter inside the guest and then use it to create a new machine virtual merger.

  • Import VM to a parallel

    I had a few problems with Parallels 6 so I wanted to try VM Fusion.

    My Parallels virtual machine is 40 GB. When I run Fusion VM it tells me I need only 41GB for importation and I 167 GB free on my machine.

    When it tries to import, it still fails telling me I have insufficient disk space.

    A few times I checked on the file Fusion VM created and it was more than 112 GB.

    Then... I'm confused as to why the estimated amount is less than what it really is creating up to 4 x. Is there anyway I can get this importation occur? How much space do I really need?

    In Parallels remove all your shots, disable "SmartGuard',"Disks of cancellations"and deselect all shared folders with your Mac.

    After doing this closes your machine virtual Parallels (not "Suspend" etc.).

    Then import the virtual Parallels in Fusion machine.

  • Parallel import

    Hi all

    I want to migrate our Database 9i to 11 GR 2.

    Our database is 'big' enough and I have 200 GB dump exp.

    The halde has 5 large tables of size approx. 20G each.

    The target server has 8 CPU and the disk has 1 TB. The disc is quite ordinary 1prediction.

    My question is... Can I run a parallel importation of 5 large tables? So I can maximize the 8 core processor?

    My problem is the only drive that could have a quarrel of e/s?

    Sould I run one at a time or in parallel?


    Ideas please...


    Thank you very much

    As you have only 1 disc, if you could use parallel execution, your query slaves will strike only one disc.

    As if 1 disk can not support readings and the simultaneous sessions. Think of 5 users making written on 1 disk. Is not possible?

  • Parallels 3.0 import fails

    Hello

    I just bought the merger and run Parallels 3.0 for some time.  Heard a lot of good things about the merger, but it becomes a bit annoying.  When I try to run the import operation completely parallels 3.0 VM, I get an error message stating basically that it is impossible to import the virtual machine, after going through the entire process (apparently).  Is this a problem?  What should I do to make this work?  I did research on importation and al and don't seem to find a lot.  What Miss me?

    Thank you

    Dave

    You can also use VMware Converter to accomplish this, if the importer fails.  Don't forget to uninstall Parallels Tools before converting and as you walk through the wizard law, as if you want to convert a physical machine that you make your choice.
