Is always required OS to create a guest virtual machine?
I create windows applications using development tools (such as Visual Studio, etc...) hosted on a Windows 2008 Server. I work directly with the console of the server.
I would like to use VMware Workstation to create virtual machines. What I have to install another OS for this or can I use the host operating system?
Thank you

What I have to install another OS for this or can I use the host operating system?
A virtual machine is a machine separated, so VIRTUAL machine, so if you intend to allow that VM to run, you must install an OS (this is called a GUEST operating system). If you want to install the programs on the host computer, you need not the virtual computer

Restructuring of the pagefile to the guest virtual machines
Is there a directive to rigtsize the pagefile for guest virtual machines (Windows)?
With the hosted versions of VMware (Workstation and Server), I used to create a swap file whose size was RAM * 2 and place it on a different disk from the system disk / boot: can it be good for VMware ESXi as weel?
Is there a better solution?
Concerning

that will depend entirely on the Organization of the underlying hardware and the OS and app loading on these drives. Having said that, generally, is not a big deal provided that machines have anyway enough RAM.

Hello gentlemen,
I can not only save this virtual machine with Backup Exec 2014 for a long time.
They are there was no snapshot in snapshot Manager.
Could you help me?
Hello
I found the solution.
I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.
and the host where the virtual machine belong was not the right time. No Ntp server has been configured.
I did and now there works.
I think that the problem can come from this.

VMware workstation, crashes when I try to create a new virtual machine
Hello
I never had this problem before, but I didn't create a new virtual machine in a very long time. Last time I created one was making Workstation 9 I think. Some time after the upgrade to Workstation 10 or 8.1 of Windows Update 1 it has started.
In 10 Workstation running on Windows 8.1, I select the file > new Virtual Machine dialog coming upwards and in a few seconds crashes of VMware workstation and closes.
So I checked the Windows event logs and find
Warning "VMware Workstation to function properly, must be reinstalled after the upgrade to Windows."
So, I upgraded from 10.0.2 to 10.0.3 and it uninstalled and reinstalled but I still get this warning.
Followed by an error

Well, I found the problem.
I looked in the UNK file and found a few ISO files wrongs tracks.
I had mounted some ISO in the past and they have made the entry in this file of preferences such as "isoLocationMRUx".
I'd change the leter this ISO file player so they could not be found as input, once I corrected the paths I can now create a new virtual machine.
He is responsible for ion BONE the new virtual machine now.

Greetings,
I improved my esxi U1 5.0 to 5.1 and attempted to create a new virtual machine in hopes of using the new version of material 9.
Using the standard and Custom options I been unable to create a Version 9 hardware VM by default.
The only option I had was manually upgrade to version 9 once the virtual machine was created.
Any thought or is - this as planned? I need to reinstall from scratch, my host?
dhayashi
To create virtual machines with HW version 9, you can use the Web Client, rather than the windows based Client vSphere.

create a new virtual machine with the default settings?
I was wondering if there was a way to create a new virtual machine with the default settings.
For example, let's say I want all new Lion VM to have 2 CPU cores. Is there a way to set this automatically? There are other parameters I want a new machine to inherit automatically, I was wondering if there is an automatic way to do this, or is it a feature request...
Thanks in advance

Just for my clarification, when you say a vm model, basically I would execute a finder copy then drag back to the VM library, right?
Yes.
On the orders of spcirpting, it would be unix commands or are there specific vmware controls that make your job easier (in Applications/VMware\ Fusion/content or elsewhere)...
IIRC, VMware Fusion 3 and later versions has an AppleScript dictionary, but it is not yet officially supported and may not be able to do what you want so, basically, only Unix Shell scripts, that's what I was referring to. For an example, see my script attached to the following response: Re: vmware - script of the creation of the vm and the operating system installation process

People,
This issue has been resolved,
Details of the problem:
RAM 512 MB only, use JVM parameters
"" Arguments of memory in JAVA: -Xms512m-Xmx512m ".
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.
Respect,
Bouchra Arun

I'm new to PowerCLI and find quite simple, but in the documentation I read, I don't see how to use a virtual hard drive, existing on a data store when you create a new virtual machine.
Is this simple registration on the virtual hard disk, or did I miss something?
My current create VM is the following statement:
New-VM
-Name $TargetHostName -host $TargetVMCenterHost -data store $TargetVMCenterDatastore DiskMB - 20000 -MemoryMB $TargetHostMemoryMB -NumCPU $TargetHostCPUs -ID $TargetHostOS -CD -Description $TargetHostName
Didn't notice this before, but I think that vSphere will use a backslash instead of a slash in the paths.

Create the new virtual machine using Java API vCloud
Hi guys,.
I am trying to create the new virtual machine in TIME, but I've stuck here. The API I'm using is vcloud-java-sdk - 1.0.jar.
Could you please show me a code snippet how to do this?
For now I do it like this:
RecomposeVAppParamsType recomposeVAppParamsType = new RecomposeVAppParamsType();
List the items < CompositionItemParamType > = recomposeVAppParamsType.getItem ();
ReferenceType vappTemplateVMRef = new ReferenceType();// ??? seems that new reference to the new virtual machine should be here. But how to create this VM
CompositionItemParamType compositionItemParamType = new CompositionItemParamType();
compositionItemParamType.setSource (vappTemplateVMRef);Items.Add (compositionItemParamType);
ReferenceType vAppRef is Vdc.getVdcByReference (vcloudClient, vdcRef) .getVappRefByName ("vApp_Websrv");.Vapp.getVappByReference (vcloudClient, vAppRef) .recomposeVapp (recomposeVAppParamsType);
One day before I played with Web Services SDK, which is much easier to understand. I was able to create the vApp and VMs in vSphere. Is it possible to import machines virtual vSphere to vCloud? Should what API I use for this?
Thank you
Hello
You cannot add a new empty virtual machine in a paralytic.
Instead, you can add a virtual machine from an existing vapp, vapptemplate.
To import a vsphere vm to vcloud.
Import vsphere vm as VAPP in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVApp()
The importation of vsphere vm, as vAppTemplate, in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVAppTemplate()
See also the example of ImportVmAsvAppTemplate.java, which is part of the vcloudjavasdk group.
Kind regards

Syntax to create a new virtual machine using vCLI
I use few of ESX 3.5 servers and a server vCenter 2.5 in my lab. I installed vCLI in vCenter server. I would like to know the command to create a new virtual machine through the vCLI. Use of the below details to provide the syntax / command.
- Name of VM - windows2003
- CPU - 2
- Memory - 2096 MB
- Name of ESX - esxserver1
- Storage - disk 30 GB C and 40 GB D drive (these two must be placed in a storage centralized. i.e., data store name is - "filer1.lun123"
Expecting more details.
Thank you

VCLI orders are mainly used for configurations of the host, although as part of the installation of vCLI, you get also vSphere SDK for utilities Perl - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl41/doc/vsperl_util_index.html that provide additional canned scripts, which allows you to create a single set of virtual machines using the vmcreate.pl script. There is an example on how to use a script

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. -.
If you find this or any other answer useful please consider awarding points marking the answer correct or useful

HDD USB not recognized as "physical1" when creating the new virtual machine
Hi all
I wanted to create a new virtual machine, and I wanted to use my USB as a physical drive.
But Workstation shows me "physical0" which is of course my drive internal.
I tried USB pen drives. They are not recognized either.
This somehow is no longer supported? I would have that it would be possible to use USB external HDD as the physical drive to a new virtual machine.
you have installed VirtualBox?
If so, you can try to use the virtuaklbox command line tool to create a descriptor of rawdisk for this disc.
say diskpart on this drive? -It is "online"?

You've restarted the management agent?
You've restarted the vpxa?

I can't create a new virtual machine, for the error "invalid state" of vmware
Hi, I have an esx server with some production virtual machines vmware;
Yestarday I made a new VM, suse linux, froma cdrom; but the file system broke down, it has been altered, I don't know why,
and I had to cancel the machine using the "remove disc";
After that I could read "a system general error occurred" and when I click on create a new virtual machine (ctrl + n), I can't because the answer is "invalid state".
When I click on each virtual machine in 'events', I do not see the logs, I see this error "system general error occurred.
can someone help me? , should I restart the service mgmt-vmware? (init.d) on the host server?
Thanks in advance, best regards

If you use Virtual Center, rebbot VC server and try again. If this does not work, you may have to restart the ESX host.
