Impossible to change the path for the shared virtual machines

Hello

as long as user root, in the Preferences menu, shared, VMs when I change the location and

(1) push apply 1 time, the path is created in the right place on the hard drive but when I want to share a virtual machine and move toward this path, the default path is the default: / var/lib/vmware... not the one created by the menu setting.

Cannot change the location for the shared virtual machines.

(2) push apply several times: odd error menu

vmware.jpeg

OS: Linux mandriva 64

Any ideas?  Is this a way to manually change the path in a config file?

Best respect

Out of work station - stop pass.
Then edit datastores.xml - don't know where the files on Linux - I expect it be in/etc/vmware/hostd or something like that

  • Second data store for the shared virtual machine

    IM thinking about to migrate my existing VMWare Server 2.x to VMWare Workstation 8.

    My server is a machine selfbuild W2k8 with Core i7, 24 GB of ram, an SSD for the OS and two 500 GB HDDs. Due to performance issues an VM is placed on a separate HARD disk. I want to keep the configuration like this.

    At the time where I'm using a trial version of WS8 and may not know how to set up a second datastore for shared virtual machines on a second hard drive. Is this possible at all? Or y at - it an alternative to solve this problem? Creation of a RAID0, isn't my favorite option.

    Thanks for the reply.

    It is not implemented by using a second data store for shared virtual computers.

    Workaround solution:
    Suppose you have the original data store C:\vms and a second D:\vms

    then create a junction for each directory in D:\vms like that

    C:\vms\VM1 D:\vms\VM1 junction.exe

    C:\vms\VM2 D:\vms\VM2 junction.exe
    ....

    then the vmx files from doubleclick in C:\vms\VM1 and configure the virtual machine to share.

    On Windows 7, use mklink.exe instead
    On Linux hosts use ln

  • Impossible to install the first virtual machine

    I had Fusion 18 months ago but just now am trying to install my first VM, XP Pro.

    I had Fusion 1.1 installed and installed XP Pro SP3 from a volume license disk. All seems well until I tried to run XP. I received messages that says "Setup can't find any HDD device installed on your computer," "VMware Tools not only installed," "received no boot file name", and "operating system not found '. Then...

    I updated Fusion 2.0.5 download and received messages that says "file configuration not valid. Created by a VMware product with more features than this version of VMware, "and"Could not find a peer valid to connect to."so...»

    I have to uninstall uninstaller of Fusion and then went to manually deleted the folder "Virtual Macines" VM file and reinstalled Fusion 1.1. Now when I try to reinstall XP Pro it requires a registration code of Windows that I did not and said that I didn't need, and who didn't need the first time. Then...

    Help, I'm lost.

    Paul

    Hi konnersman, welcome to the forums of Fusion =)

    I saw it happen before with licencd of the OS volume.

    The solution is to NOT use the 'Easy Install' option.

    By default it wants to install a SCSI driver, but the copy of windows volume license is in the way, because he wants to use, it is pre-established bundled drivers, etc. and ultimately will eventually recognize the merger SCSI driver.

    Let me know if that takes care of it, or if we are looking at something different.

  • Workstation 8 shared virtual machines and games?

    How do the shared virtual machines work? I'm looking for a customer solution light game, but I don't know if that's it.

    Let's say I have a super gaming office and an old laptop computer connected to the same local network. A Windows 7 VM running on the desktop computer can play Batman: Arkham City at 40 frames per second, while the laptop is still too weak to run a Windows 7 VM. If I had to share the virtual machine with the laptop, would it be possible to play the Arkham City from the laptop to the same 40 fps? Or is the process of sharing incur fines for failure that make the game unplayable?

    3D acceleration is not supported via the remote consoles (only for local consoles), so it wouldn't do what you want.

  • Please help; Impossible to change the position of my wallpaper!

    I know this isn't a big problem; but I would like it's working properly anyway.  I tried a new image for my wallpaper, and it showed as an image full screen.  I didn't like it then, immediately, I went back to the original image, and it was too full screen.  I went to the desktop background and the position is as I've had with a frame black (I also tried other colors) around the image, but it was not of themselves.  I tried all the different positions and nothing will change.  The image will change, but any image I try is full screen.

  • Impossible to change the working directory

    I'm trying to change the working of a computer virtual directory so that snapshots are stored in a different data store.

    I used the following two articles for instruction:

    "Create snapshots in a different virtual directory default location"

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 1002929

    "Record or adding a virtual machine to inventory".

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1006160

    I recorded my VM.  I added the following line to my .vmx:

    workingDir = "/ vmfs/volumes/4cb6d8b0-45f1b122-3a3a-d48564535eca/vm-snapshots.

    This has been copied directly from management.  The only thing I changed was the part of the path that identifies my data store.

    Note: I also tried to use 'vmsnapshots' to ensure that the hyphen was not my problem, but I got the same error message.

    I recorded my VM.  I have no problem adding the .vmx inventory.  When I right click on my VM and go change the settings > Options, the workplace of VM looks OK.  4cb6d8b0-45f1b122-3a3a-d48564535eca translated correctly to the identifier for the data store (it looks like this: [DL360G7DS1] vm-snapshots /).  I turned on my virtual computer.  I get the following error message:

    "This virtual machine cannot be turned on because its working directory is invalid. Use the configuration editor to define a valid working directory and then try again. »

    I didn't know if the "vm-pictures" directory would be created automatically or if I have to create it, so I tried both ways.  There is no space in my path name or a folder.  I had not changed anything else in my .vmx and when I remove the line workingDir, VM powers on without problem.

    There is a good chance I'm missing something simple here.  The path seems to be accepted and pointing in the right direction.  I don't know what I have to do to "vm-shots" to make it valid.  The instructions didn't about the requirements for this directory.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Please let me know if I does not provide enough information or if the rest of my .vmx file should be displayed.

    I would just put the hard in the home folder of the new virtual machine after I have it create?

    From what I understand so far, there is not enough free disk space on the data store "2MB" to host the virtual machine! If there is enough free space on the disk so you can just migrate the virtual machine in this data store using vCenter Server. If there is not enough disk space, you can create a new virtual machine on the data store "2MB" and leave the virtual disks on the data store '1 MB' for now. Just make sure that you document it (for example in the annotations of the virtual machine) If you don't accidentally delete the old folder with the the.vmdk file.

  • Change the default options for a NEW virtual machine in ESXI 5.1

    Hello

    I am looking for a solution change the 'default' options for a new virtual machine created in ESXI 5.1

    I want to have parameters such as 'cpu/memory HOT-add' default to enabled instead of disabled.

    There may be more options to change to a new virtual machine.

    All those who have an option to change the 'default' options for new virtual machines?

    THX

    You can change the/etc/vmware/config of vSphere host file and add the lines mem.hotadd = 'TRUE' and vcpu.hotadd = 'TRUE '.
    The settings then apply to any VM on this host when virtual machines are turned on...

  • With the help of two different devices for VDR to save the same virtual machines

    Hello

    I have VDR backup right now most of my virtual machines. I'm experimenting with some recovery scenarios disaster using VDR. I want to set up a new device, backup virtual machines themselves, but with a destination off. My question is, it would cause problems to have two different devices, backup the same virtual machines?

    I'm asking this is because I was looking at the notes of recent VMworld session on VDR and he says, regarding a troubleshooting scenario in which you must create a new device in addition to your current device, both devices back up the same virtual machines do not.

    If it is dangerous to do so because of the likelihood that two devices can save the same virtual machines at the same time, I could schedule the backup windows at different times to avoid this problem.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    I create a second local camera vDR and vDR distance and test it against a test VM. The vDR devices will have their own CBT files for each virtual computer, so they should be able to work together, but I would like to go through tests to see how they work well on the WAN. Make sure that you can transfer enough data to host daily data change.

  • How to set up the generic dashboard for the specified virtual machines

    I have two question about "generic dashboard":

    1. I use the tag to classify certain virtual machines by role QA, DEV or PRD. If I select "Kind of resources", and then select all VM under a label, window "metrics selector" will be watch only "vCenter generated Operation Manager", it does not show metric VM. How can I see it?

    2. If I select the 'Resources' mode, then I'll be able to see the VM metrics on the window "metrics selector", but I must key in each VM name "Label to the area", it takes a lot of time if I have a lot of VM, is there no matter what symbol I can use to match this field with name column "resource"?

    Mode 'Resources like' or 'Resource', both ok for me, I want to just install a widget to display using the specified CPU VM real fast.

    Any information is appreciated!

    You will see that vC generated Ops metric because you are looking at the tag, which is a resourcekind. This switch of resources is "not" a filter label, these are the actual resources. If you want to see all the virtual machines, select the resourcekind 'virtual machine '.

    Generic dashboard is rarely used to show - all - kinds of resources, it is generally used for static selection for specific purposes. If you want to display all types of a resource type and apply a tag filter, you can select a different widget to display this information.

    There is no symbols that can act as wildcards, as you suggest. When you are 'kind of resources' mode, you need not fill out a label for the box.

    If WL struck to use more memory for the start and the stop MedRecSvr2, 3 (managed server)

    Please read the following steps to correct,

    1. open Oracle VM Virtual box

    2. go to settings and select the system option (make sure that all OS turns off).

    3. go in card mother in this window select Base memory previously is changed to 1920 MB (1.875 GB) 512 MB.

    4. click on Ok.

    Then the allocated RAM will be more, for Weblogic doesn't get knocked because of insufficient RAM memory.
