Is it possible to open a VMWare Workstation virtual machine, VMWare Fusion?

Hi all

I recently moved to a MacBook Pro and have installed VMWare Fusion.

I searched the forums but cannot find an answer to the question (or maybe I did not only hit the right keywords).

My question is this...  Is it possible to open a virtual machine that I created in VMWare Workstation, VMWare Fusion?

Thank you

Dan.

Do not.  Just copy the folder FULL of computer workstation computer merger.  In Fusion, select "Open an existing Virtual Machine" and find the folder that you copied and select the .vmx file.  No stupid masking the content of the file making it appear to the user unaware that the entire virtual machine is a big don't file this way.

  • Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine

    Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine. My questions is the correct statement to the variable: $VmCreated7DaysAgo: $_CreatedOn "-lt" $CDate7.

    # #SCRIPT_START

    $file = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\VM-Repo.csv".

    $Import = import-csv $file

    $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\Last7Days.csv".

    $start7 = (get-Date). AddMonths(-1)

    $CDate7 = $start7. ToString('MM/dd/yyyy')

    $VmCreated7DaysAgo = $Import | Select-object - property name, Powerstate, vCenter, VMHost, Cluster, file, Application, CreatedBy, CreatedOn, NumCpu, MemoryGB | Where-Object {$_.} CreatedOn - lt $CDate7} | Sort-Object CreatedOn

    $TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo = $VmCreated7DaysAgo.count

    $VmCreated7DaysAgo | Export-Csv-path $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

    Write-Host "$TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo VMs created in 7 days" - BackgroundColor Magenta

    Invoke-Item $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile

    # #SCRIPT_END

    You can use the New-Timespan cmdlet in the Where clause, it returns the time difference between 2 DateTime objects.

    An example of this cmdley

    New-TimeSpan-start (Get-Date). AddDays(-7)-end (Get-Date). Select days - ExpandProperty

    In your case, you could do

    Where {(New Timespan-démarrer ([DateTime] $_.))} CreatedOn) - end $start7). {7 days - gt}

    But beware of negative numbers.

    I have a Windows XP VMWare Workstation VM (7.4) installed on Windows 7 64 bit which is suspended.  I click on resume and it displays the screen of VMWare for a few seconds and then it closes with no message of any kind.  The reset button is disabled, the only thing it allows me to do is to resume the virtual machine and which does nothing.  Help!  Can someone help me get this virtual machine running again?

    Virtual machines should not be affected when you uninstall / reinstall VMware Workstation on the host system. All you have to do is to open in the menu my computer to add to your Favorites.

  • resize boot camp partition, formatted and installed windows 7 - now cannot open in vmware fusion

    Here are the steps that I took...

    1 has started with the copy of Windows XP in the boot camp partition. "This is accessible from VMWare Fusion."

    2 resized (from 6 GB to 18 GB) and formatted the boot camp partition.

    3 successfully installed Windows 7 directly in the resized partition boot camp (not through VMWare Fusion).

    4. starts in OSX (latest version), open VMWare Fusion and attempted to access the partition to boot camp/vm. Received an error message charging me to disassemble and reassemble the physical disk changes. However, since I did it, he cannot find a bootable disc, therfore making it the useless bootcamp VM.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Paul

    Note: These steps assume that you have a default Apple installation of Windows and a VMware Fusion Boot Camp Virtual Machine default partition and if you changed the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine package first.

    1. If the merger is open, close it.

    2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will remove the Boot Camp Virtual Machine meta-data partition. Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition to install Windows. Also make sure that you copy the entire command below "rm" line at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the p in the Camp. "

    RM - dfr "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp."

    3. start Fusion (/ Applications/VMware Fusion) and select the Boot Camp partition on the library of the Virtual Machine window, and then click the run button.

    Notes: Then, an authentication dialog box appears. "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your name and password, and then click OK. (It is necessary to remove the Boot Camp for the merge partition to access it directly).

    Then, we should see a Boot Camp partition message stating "VMware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine. This may take a few minutes. This occurs once. »

    When the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine starts for the first time after this VMware Tools may want or will install/update and restart the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine.

  • Destination area has VMware player 3.1.4. Not possible to run a newly created virtual machine.

    For the first time, I tried to virtualize my machine using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone. The destination machine has VMware Player installed 3.1.4, so I chose, as a destination having VMware 4.0.x instead of VMware 3.0.x as 3.1.4 overflows 3.0.x. The newly created virtual machine does not under VMware 3.1.4. Is there anyway out of this except can create an another VM using VMware player 3.0.x as the destination machine? Thank you.

    Then, you should be able to simply create a (empty) virtual machine with VMware Player 3.x and then just remove the blank virtual hard drive (hard files) and replace it with the one created with VMware vCenter Converter.

  • is it possible that an application on a virtual machine is faster than in its host?

    To measure the performance of our software on vmware, compare us the performance of vm compared to its host machine.

    We found that performance on three different machines showed a very different behavior, of 50% slower at 10% slower.

    And the strangest thing is that there is a single machine, his vm is faster than its host.

    Any help on the possible reasons is appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Additional information:

    The application is time CPU,.

    CentOS 6.2 for the vm and host,

    VMware Workstation 10.0.1 build-1379776

    Hardware Dell R720VM vs host
    Xeon 2 CPU E5-2620 0 @ 2.00 GHz 12-Core, 32 GB-50%
    Xeon 2 E5-2650 V2 2.60 GHz, 16 Core CPU, 32 GB-10%
    Xeon 2 E5-2630 0 @ 2.30 GHz, 12 Core CPU, 64 GB20%

    After eliminating the various factors, we finally understood the cause: hyper threading

    After that we switched off the hyper threading, everything became normal, the slower and faster virtual machines showed same performance.

    Host performance has even improved, about 10-20% faster than the virtual machine.

    Hope that this experience and this information can be useful for others in the future...

  • After update of El Capitan, Fusion 8 will not open the Boot Camp virtual machine

    Greetings!

    I'm having a problem with the Fusion 8 since my update to El Capitan.   My Boot Camp partition is functional and I can boot directly into it very well - all my files and data are intact.   However, when I try to start the machine Boot Camp in a virtual machine within OS x, I get the following error:

    Operation not permitted

    Cannot open disk "/ Administrator/Users / / Library/Application Support/VMWare Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/Boot Camp 2.vmwarevm/Boot Camp 2.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends."   Module 'Disc' on failed.   Unable to start the virtual machine. »

    I remember a message from the update of El Capitan, indicating that it is an element incompatible Parallels and disabled.   I thought it was the components of laggard remains from when I ran a parallel trial a year ago, but perhaps it is related?

    Help, please!

    Hi gang,.

    I have a solution for this!   After I created this post, I created a ticket with support and they solved it for me.

    Here's the skinny: El Capitan has changed something wise permissions to access data files on the Bootcamp partition.  VMWare said they were working to solve this, but in the meantime they had me do made me upward and short... just remove the entry of the virtual machine Boot Camp in Fusion and recreate it.   I recommend you save beforehand in case where, but this process does not affect the data on your partition, only one definition of the Fusion of the virtual machine and how you can access your score.

  • Is it possible to save the xp mode virtual machine?

    I was wondering if there is an image that I can back up so I did not reinstall every time I reformat

    Hello
     
     
    Yes you can do it manually.
    Here's how:
    1. open Windows Explorer and navigate to %USERPROFILE%/Virtual Machines. It is the default location of the files vmcx. You will see a Windows XP Mode.vmcx file. This XML file contains the full path to the files that make up your virtual machine. The default full paths are:

    %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows virtual PC\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vhd

    %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows virtual PC\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vmc

    2. When you browse to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Virtual PC\Virtual Machines, you can see additional files depending on the State of the virtual machine (that is, is this hiberated or not). If the virtual machine XP Mode is put in hibernation, if these additional files will appear:

    Windows XP Mode.vmc.vpcbackup
    Windows XP Mode.vsv

    3. the vmc and vmc.backup files are XML files that contain full paths to vhd files. If you restore on a different path, you will need to modify the XML files so that all file references are accurate and consistent. Windows 7 does not a VMS-specific automated backup.

     
    I hope this helps.

  • The Bios in a Workstation virtual machine supports VT?

    Here's the situation:

    I create a Site Recovery Manager using Workstation 7.1 laboratory the problem that I am running is that I can not create a virtual machine inside the ESXi 4.1 VM that runs as a virtual machine inside the 64-bit workstation.  The physical host has active VT and Workstation 7.1 has no problem with 64 bit installed just fine as the ESXi 4.1 virtual computer.  I want to run the vCenter / SRM VM inside VM ESXi, but it seems that I might have to return to the vCenter 4.0 so / SRM can be 32-bit?

    Kind regards...

  • It is possible to enable VT in a Virtual Machine?

    Hello

    We are now pushing to VDI to our users, however, we can run all our apps on our HV.

    We currently use Desktop PC running Windows 7. We have an application that runs only under Windows XP compatibility, which requires the PC to have active VT.

    When I cloned a PC and pulled up, everything worked, but XP mode, which says that the host does not have the virtual technology in WOOD.

    The BIOS on the host computer was activated and it works perfectly fine, but the BIOS of the virtual machine has not yet of the option. I looked around the CPU settings and I have activated using Intel VT-x/AMD-V instruction set virtualization and the options of IVR EPT/AMD Intel MMU virtualization on the desktop and they may not always run in XP Mode.

    Anyone has any experience cela running on ESX?

    Hello.

    Have you seen this?

    Good luck!

  • VMware Workstation 6.5 - not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine

    My host is a processor Intel Core i5 (active VT) and 8 GB of RAM Windows 7 64 bit running with hardware virtualization enabled.

    Apart from McAfee Antivirus and the usual Windows updates, no other software has been installed on the host machine.

    I am running Vmware Workstation 6.5 and I installed 3 popular VM with below guest OS, s/w and memory:

    VMware ESX 4-2 GB
    Server 2003 (DC and DNS) - 1 GB

    Server 2003 (vCenter Server) - 1 GB

    However, it is not possible for me to all 3 virtual machines run simultaneously. If I turn on Vmware ESX 4 and try to start Windows 2003 VM, it displays the following message:

    Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings.

    To resolve this problem, set the parameters in additional memory to allow for more virtual memory machine to swap.

    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.

    Can you get it someone please let me know where are the rest of the memory is busy? Size of total memory of 3 virtual machines are only 4 GB and I have to be able to run all the VMs set 3, but in this case I can't even run two virtual machines simultaneously.

    Please help what should I do?

    With 8 GB of RAM on the host allowing why only 1 GB to be reserved for all you run virtual machines?
