• How to install vmware tools in a virtual machine running in the drive on an Ubuntu host?

  I have a host of Ubuntu (Ubuntu LTS 14.04.2)

  I have a virtual of Fedora (4.0.4 - 301.fc22.x86_64) and I would like to install vmware tools in the virtual machine.

  When I select the player VirtualMachine-> reinstall VMware Tools...

  I get a prompt in a box on the screen.  It is said:

  The following software are available for download:

  VMware Tools for Linux version 9.9.3

  What do you do?

  X Cancel |  Download and install

  Of course I choose to download and install (kind of silly question - why I want to cancel?)

  So instead of download the tools I want to install, it says:

  Your permission is required to install an update to VMware.

  Please enter the root password to move forward.

  Password: __________

  not serious.  Now, he's looking for what root password?  The virtual machine or the host?

  I have try the virtual machine and it works-not "incorrect password... try again."

  ... well Ubuntu is not a root user.  So, I try the password for the user with root privileges

  "incorrect password... try again."

  Then, he does not.

  Not very satisfying.

  The instructions that I found in my research right you will say to take the step to obtain the Tools package then (well, nothing of the rest of it is important if the tools are not available to me).

  Suggestions?  Advice?

  The required password is for the host.

  A workaround of functions is "sudo su -" of ubuntu host, then start vmplayer from the root prompt.  You must browse the virtual machine since the user doesn't have a history of openness yet... but then there is no prompt asking for a password when you try to download the tools.

• I need to install antivirus software on a virtual machine if I only use vm to a printer driver only for windows?

  Hi all

  Searched for an answer via Google and there, qualification so far found no.

  I am currently set up with Fusion 3.0.1/XP Pro on an iMac / Snow Leopard.  The only reason I use the merge on this machine is as follows.  We have a Sony SnapLab Pro UP_CR20L digital photo printer for our personal use.  Brief history on printer: these printers are sold on the commercial aspect of the site of Sony, generally used in kiosk, sales retail store settings.  Sony has provided only a Windows printer driver for this printer, so my need to use Fusion to print from my computer on the SnapLab.

  That being said, I don't want to use the virtual machine for anything other than this one function: printing photos to my photo on the side of Mac through XP for the printer folder.  No internet on the side navigation XP. Period.

  Can anyone offer upward not reasons to play with headaches run the anti-virus on the virtual machine software?

  Thank you all ~

  NONE.  Windows is not also subject to security as everyone seems to think.

  Firstly, Windows is that ALTHOUGH the user.  If you use this VM, and you surf the NET and download files, the USER is the reason Windows crashes, not Windows.

  Windows makes it EASY because you are an administrator rather than forcing users to degenerate into a user Admin Linux by default.

  So if you install Windows 2008 or Windows 7 leave the enabled user access mode, do not put the user Admins member and you will have NO problem.

  So no, YOU can't BC

• How to install VMplayer 3 network for virtual machines to comminicate with each other?

  People,

  Hello. I use VMPlayer 3.

  SE host: Windows 7
  Comments to: Windows XP and Oracle Linux 5

  I need to set up the network and activate Windows XP communicate with Oracle Linux 5.

  I followed this tutorial http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_devices_serial_2vms.html to configure 2 virtual machines in Windows 7 host machine.

  I tried to test 2 virtual machines in the way as below:

  In Linux, [user@localhost ~] $ping WindowsXP_HostName
  Release: Unknown host WindowsXP_HostName

  
  At the Windows XP command prompt:
  C:\ping localhost.localdomain
  Its release: ping localhost 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data...
  Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes = 32 time = 2ms TTL = 128

  
  He meets a few times and then disconnected by itself. It seems that Windows XP is ping itself and not Linux server. The host name of the Linux server is 'localhost' as well. It is a kind of confusion for me.

  
  From the information above, we can see that 2 VMs cannot connect between them.

  Can any folk provides a tutorial or example or case study to set VMPlayer 3 allowing 2 virtual machines communicate with each other by step?

  Very grateful in advance.

  In the guest machine, all I see is click on VMplayer-> VM-> settings-> network-> Network adapter Connection-> select Bridged: directly connected to the physical network. After that, nothing to keep.

  That's it for the network card in Virtual Machine of its parameters, and the rest is done to each guest at the guest OS level.

  In Windows 7 host machine, I don't see anything first.

  What we need to do is to assign 3 IP addresses to 3 machines: Win 7, Win XP Guest and Linux host.

  Why the world can't bring you up Google in a browser and type, the ip static windows xp, then static ip rhea of windows 7 and finally static ip.  As I have already said there are more then enough tutorials on the Internet about how to configure a static IP address by a given operating system then I suggest you Google it!  It makes absolutely no sense to write the instructions step by step for you when there are already dozens of tutorials available on the internet.

• How to install the software on a virtual machine?

  Hi, I'm new to the virtual machines.  I have a physical server running windows 7 pro 32 bit, and I set up a virtual machine running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit only.  I created so I can run MS Exchange Server 64.  I have a .iso for Exchange Server file, but I can't figure how to get it in the virtual machine.  Please explain or direct me to a good tutorial, thank you.

  In this case, either use the "shared folders" feature or share the folder on the host computer with files and map it as a network drive in the comments.

  Another option - although that do not know if it works in VMware Server - is to drag & drop the files from the host to the virtual computer.

• Is it possible to install Vmware converter in a virtual machine?

  Hello

  I would like to know if its possible to install VMware converter in one machine virtual host Xen (WinXP)? We must find a way to convert a Xen virtual machine and import it into an ESX environment. So my first plan was to mount a hard drive of the virtual machine Xen host and install VMware converter.

  Unless there is an easier way to do it.

  Appreciate any feedback...

  Thank you.

  Hi Jakepp,

  You can use VMware Converter to transform your XEN VM for VMware. You can take a look at the following kb to confirm:

  Good luck.

• Unistalling ESXi & install ESX, what of my virtual machines?

  Hi all

  I think unistalling vSphereHypervisor (ESXi 4.1) and installing vsphere (ESX 4.1) on my home server.

  How to preserve my 8 VMs or backup them?

  In addition, I will win by opting for ESX 4.1?

  At this point, the difference between 4.1 ESX and ESXi 4.1 shrinks, for what you can do through administrative tasks. Get the unit of MAS, and you have more features. With the new ability to remote SSH on ESXi 4.1, you win a lot of what ESX 4.x used to bring to the table (by itself without the need to modify a file of confd ESXi 4)...

  So unless you have tools/software that works only in ESX 4.1, I wouldn't wipe and install ESX 4.1... Firstly, you'll need to do the reverse, when you want to go to the next version. On the other hand, most third party tools have been updated to ESXi 4.1, are being updated, or will be before too long. At least those who actually want to keep their customers running VMware products.

  I moved my VM to a SAN/NAS in my lab at home. It is very handy when I want to update the host, since I can have run them on a temporary host (a good system, using ESXi 4.1 installed on a USB key). Finally, I have at least two hosts in my lab running 24 x 7 so that I can more easily update things. In addition, it will allow me to run several virtual machines at the same time.

• How to install VMware Tools on multiple virtual machines

  This weekend, I'll upgrade my environment at 3.5 update 4 and, in doing so, I need to upgrade all of the vmware tools install and am looking for a way to do it without connect to each virtual machine.  I found some posts that are not too encouraging (upgrade to vShere and via updatemanager or change the settting on the virtual machine to check an update of tools when it boot) I was looking for a script or something that's not going to be too demanding.

  Thank you

  You can select a group of virtual machines, right-click and choose Install/Upgrade VMware Tools.  Make sure the automatic upgrade of the tools is selected, and who should do it.

• Install the APEX on a virtual machine with 11g db xe

  Hello.
  
  I'll install APEX in my Centos 64 bit (guest) running in a VMWare on my Mac OS (host).
  
  I'm downloading:
  
  (1) database 11 g R2 XE
  (2) Developer SQL 3.1
  (3) APEX 3.1
  (4) Web server
  
  And I have a few questions:
  
  (1) it is necessary to install the instant client on mac to install APEX or it is possible to install it by using sqldeveloper?
  (2) if I need to install the instant client, its possible to use those http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/intel-macsoft-096467.html here to access a 11 g R2 xe or there is a specific version for this version of the DB?
  (3) could you please share your experience using the above configuration? :)
  
  Thank you

  When you install a database, you'll have to SQL * more as a tool to access. You don't need additional client software (including SQL Developer). In order to install the Apex, SQL * more is all you need (Setup Guide walks you through SQL * Plus the facility anyway). Why you would do in SQL Developer? It only complicated things.

  So:
  -Download and install 11g XE
  -Run SQL * more
  -Download and install Apex

• How to install Windows 2003 Server virtual appliance

  Hi all

  I installed VMware server 2.0 and created a new virtual machine.

  Now, I want to install the microsoft windows 2003 Server virtual appliance. I downloaded the same from the microsoft site and there is an .exe file and two .rar files.

  I want to know how to install these files on my virtual machine.

  You help me please about this request.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Himanshu

  Server 2.0 won't open it without conversion because it is in the format Microsoft Virtual PC/Virtual Server that's why you need to go through the converter.

  When you run the converter, select 'Other' as the source type, find the .vmc file and destination choose "Other virtual machines" and give it a name and a location where to put the files it produces.

• Install ESX 2.5.5 - installs require licensing to allow power on virtual machines?

  Install ESX 2.5.5 - installs require licensing to allow power on virtual machines?

  I am part of an exercise in DR for ESX 2.5 installation. If ESX 2.5 requires serial numbers on install to allow power on virtual machines?

  Or does the time where the vms turn on for the trial period?

  The doc of admin ESX 2.5 says that he must have licenses in order to on the VMs.

  Can the production ESX 2.5 serial numbers be used for the exercise of the DR, or is related to the material serial number. (I think it could be used).

  All points will be awarded.

  Thxs

  VMware, even in the early days has provided a 60-day evaluation license - worth ESX 2.x and VC 1.x - the same limitations that apply today apply to the ESX 2.x, once that period eval runs out - you will not be able to on the VMs.

  licenses are not related to the material. -.

• How to install windows 2003 Server R720?

  I read that with r720, u can not install windows server 2003 directly, you must install as a VM, but I read something to do good readers for the raid controller or something like that my r720 has PERC H710: the INTEGRATED RAID CONTROLLER. If someone could provide markets like me can install 2003 and if there are custom commands or software, I need to do

  Thank you

  Why not install from 2003 as a virtual machine?

  There is no driver for the H710, 2003.  You can "try" this:

  2008 x 86 for H710m on R720:
  http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails/product/PowerEdge-R720?driverId=H9W18&osCode=WLHS1&FILEID=3366404030&LanguageCode=en&CategoryID=SF

  You need to download the 'hard drive' version of the pilot and run to extract its content before using it.

  Also keep in mind that PERC does NOT support non-RAID, so you MUST configure/initialize RAID in the CTRL-R FRONT utility any can readers seen by the operating system, even if you find drivers that work.

• Virtual machine and XP Reinstall

  I have a program that cannot run in Windows 7 and 8.  When I bought a machine with Windows 8, I installed this program within a Virtual Box w/XP Pro (sold separately).

  Since then, my player stopped start (long story), so I bought Windows 7 and more (did not like Windows 8).  I realized then that is grayed out when I tried to install my XP Professional disc again once the button install.

  Is it possible to revive the drive for the installation or if I have to buy a new XP Pro disc to complete the task?

  Thank you.

  Where you actually try to install Windows XP, the Windows Player 7 is installed on or in a Virtual Machine?

  If it is the drive where Windows 7 is installed, what won't work, lack of support for SATA drives Windows XP prevents this. Its best that you install on a virtual machine.
