• Size of Virtual Machine in the Finder is Double the size of virtual machine in Fusion

  I run a virtual disk of Windows 7 Home Premium to professional Fusion 5.0.2; the host operating system is 10.8.2. The sparse disk size is set to 40 GB. After the Windows defragmentation and cleanup of the virtual machine, Fusion 5 General preferences pane indicates the total size of the VM as 33.2 GB. I have not instant. The problem is that the size of the virtual machine, as shown in the Finder is 70,56 GB. My offsite backup drive is full and I'm trying to reduce the size of the backup set. How can I reduce the size of the virtual machine, as shown in the Finder to match the size of the virtual machine as shown in the merger? Thank you.

  According to the files in the folder and the newspapers, it seems that there is a problem with the (assumingly in October 2011) virtual machine and the virtual machine was back on the basic disk, making useless existing snapshot!

  What you can do - make sure that you have a full backup - is to properly close the virtual machine, and then move all files from snapshots (files hard with 00000 x in their file name) to another folder and power on the virtual machine again. If this works as expected you can delete obsolete files.

• Problem running an existing virtual machine with fusion

  Im trying to run a virtual machine I use with player on my pc. He refuses to perform under the terms of the fusion of ideas?

  Blackdeerhunter wrote: Ive got further system boots to windows and then asks me to activate now what?

  Well, let's see...  Oh yes, activate it!

  BTW this is not a question of VMware itself as Windows product activation is a Microsoft problem whatever we're running Windows on a physical or a virtual machine.  Except run the Boot Camp partition as a Virtual Machine where the VMware Tools manages the database WPA to allow a start both in native and virtual mode, it would be the extent of the share of VMware in the present itself and the rest to you as a user to deal with Microsoft with.

• 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.

• AutoStart, more than one virtual machine in Fusion?

  Hello

  Is it possible to autostart more than one virtual machine at startup of mergers?

  If so - how?

  If I press the star on a virtual machine, it will away from each other.

  Sincerely,

  DB

  No, only one favorite is both allowed but prevents you from scripts at startup of several Virtual Machines.  It could be a simple bash script or you can use AppleScript or Automator to achieve this.  If you what them to count when you connect, you can then add to your login under your account items in system preferences.

• Cannot start a virtual machine with more than 1 CPU socket added

  I've set up a few boxes of ESXi 5.5 with the free license in recent weeks, they have all been without problems so far. All 4 servers have the same exact hardware

  Environment:

  Dell Poweredge T620

  E5-2630 2 Intel CPU

  40 GB OF DDR3 ECC RAM

  ESXi is installed on 2 x 146 GB 15 K SAS drives RAID-1

  Data for virtual machines store are 8 x 600 GB 10 K SAS RAID-10 disc

  Guest operating system is Server2012r2 on all virtual machines

  Installed it on ESXi 3 previous were conducted with custom ESXi 5.5 Dell without problem.

  The 4th is where I will have questions. I used the following ESXi installed just in case there is a bug somewhere

  5.5 of VMware ESXi

  ESXi 5.5 customized by Dell

  5.5 U1 of VMware ESXi

  Any version of the ESXi I use I can't have a virtual machine to begin with more than 1 CPU socket added to it. The virtual machine does not start even the VMWare BIOS. I tried the Bios EFI as well with no luck. The error message I get in the events is ' fatal error VMware ESX: vcpu (vcpu-X)-X:VM - entry failed; Valid VMCS (error code 8). The vcpu-X is always another. I have attached the log file is created. If I give the VM 1 single processor TI starts very well. I'm at a loss as to what could be the issue.

  Problem is solved. I caught another server with identical hardware, verified it worked properly, then started to swap parts between them. Turned out to be CPU1. Once this has been replaced from a working server I have not had any problems. Warranty has been appealed.

  Thanks for all the help!

• How a virtual machine in Fusion 4 autostart?

  Fusion 3, I had a vm on Fusion from start. I can't find this feature in Fusion 4. Is it still there?

  They removed the option for now.  Some users turned on by mistake and don't know what to do. I hope that we'll see her back in an update.  Not one of the decisions more light if you ask me!

• How can I move the "Virtual Machines" folder to the My Documents folder?

  VMwareFusion is to put the "Virtual Machines" folder in the Documents folder in the home folder (/users/ [username] / Documents), how can I move elsewhere (as/Library/Application Support)? The user Documents folder is not the right place for automated it system files, it is intended for personal documents.

  
  

  I am running VMware Fusion on OS X Yosemite (and the virtual machine is Windows 7).

  You can keep your virtual machines anywhere you want. Here are the steps to move:

  1 exit VMware Fusion. You can stop first of all of your running virtual machines.

  2. drag your virtual computers folder or the individual VM "files" where you / them. Filenames usually end in ".vmwarevm". There is no need to call the new folder "Virtual Machines" - you can call it anything you like.

  3. Launch VMware Fusion. If the library of the Virtual Machine window is not open, open it (Windows menu-> Virtual Machine library).

  4. ensure that all of your icons for the virtual machine are light gray and say "file not found".

  5. right click on each virtual machine in turn, and select Remove. When you are done, leave the window of Machine virtual library empty open.

  6. in the Finder, drag the icons of file virtual machine in their new location and drop them in library of virtual machines VMware Fusion window. Drop them one by one in the original order, you got, or rearrange icons later.

  7. run your virtual machines as before.

  When you create new virtual computers, navigate to the desired file before the Save.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: If you your folder of Machines ~/Documents/Virtual excluded from backups Time Machine, don't forget to change the exclusion to the new folder.

  Time Machine backups are not reliable for virtual machines. You must have another strategy. (I shut the virtual machine down, compress the 'file', and then move the compressed file to a folder that is included in the Time Machine backups. This isn't the only strategy, but it works for me.)

• How can I register a virtual machine in the command line?

  I want to automate the registration of virtual machines in my VMWare Fusion.

  I have the vmx file. I can do this by using the command line?

  If not, how can I do it automatically?

  Thanks in advance.

  There are two main methods you can interact with the Virtual Machines outside user of VMware Fusion, the VIX API and vmrun interface and with the registration of these two commands are not supported with VMware Fusion (or VMware Workstation.* (* Non-exclussive VM)}.)  Recording controls are used primarily with vSphere.  VMware Server also supported recording orders.

  BTW, from a Machine virtual Finder by double-clicking on the file of configuration of Machine virtual package or .vmx if it is already running and is not created through the interface user of VMware Fusion, for example created in VMware Workstation VM and copied on a Mac, created manually or via a script solution.  Although she will then have to be manually recorded.  Registered/not registered in this context the Virtual Machine appears in the library of virtual machines VMware Fusion.

• Can I run a machine virtual de VMware Fusion, VMware Server 2?

  I looked at a bunch of documentation confusing but couldn't find a clear overview of what VMware Server 2 does in fact.

  I hope that I can take the virtual machines that I've created with VMware Fusion and download them on VMware Server 2 on a server somewhere and run it from there.

  Is this possible?   Is there any clear, simple documentation that indicates how to proceed?

  Thanks for any information you can give me!

  Hello

  If you run the virtual machine in fusion directly in vmware server, these are the steps to follow:

  (1) find out where are the fusion virtual machine files.

  (2) stop & remove merge (do not remove fisically hd!) virtual machine.

  (3) copy files of the virtual machine of fusion to the vmware server host (with the .vmx file and the hard should be enough) in the directory you designate as data store for vm vmware server files in the installation of vmware server.

  (4) use the "adding a virtual machine to inventory" to navigate to the file .vmx of the virtual machine that you copied before

  (5) the machine running and try. (if a question arises, you say that you copied the VM).

  Maybe you should do some additional steps as reconfigure it the virtual machine under vmware virtual network install, but there are minor and easy changes.

  Here is some information about the files that make up a virtual computer: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_learning_files_in_a_vm.html

• Default virtual machine?

  Whenever I run VMware, it automatically triggers a former VM (one that I don't use a lot).  Is there a way to specify a default or preferred virtual machine?  Thank you

  Open VMware Fusion > click window in the menu bar and select Library of Virtual Machine, right-click on the favorite virtual machine, and select open to start Vmware Fusion. Which will make this virtual machine starts by default...

• Correctly remove resources when the virtual machine is deleted

  Hello

  I've created a service plan to power off the virtual machine and delete the vcenter.  The workflow works very well, but apparently not released the vRA resources.

  Then he said: the virtual machine has actually deleted vsphere, but since the vRA, Managed administration portal machines, I found the virtual machine that I removed from the service by using the mentioned service blue print now appears as "missing."

  
  My question is how to downgrade the machine virtual and also removed its resources reserved correctly?

  Thank you

  Jimmy

  Hi, Jimmy - I met the same problem recently and did the following:

  1. download the VC:VirtualMachine object.  This can be done in several ways, but in my particular case, I use the com.vmware.library.vc.vm.getAllVMsMatchingRegexp module.

  2. get the VCAC:VirtualMachine of the object to VC:VirtualMachine object.  Still, there are different ways to do this.  I created a getVCACVm action, which takes a #1 VC:VirtualMachine object:

  var vCACVm = null;

  var uuid = vcVM.config.instanceUuid;

  var vCACVms = Server.findAllForType ("vCAC:VirtualMachine", "VMUniqueID eq '" + uuid + "'");

  If (vCACVms.length == 1)

  vCACVm = vCACVms [0];

  Return vCACVm;

  3. delete the VCAC:VirtualMachine entity.  You can use the com.vmware.library.vcac.deleteEntity module to handle this.

  KEEP IN MIND... This removes only the vCAC/vRA entity.  You should always turn off the virtual machine (if any, see: library/vCenter/Virtual Machine management/Power Management / power off the virtual machine and wait) and delete vcenter (see: vCenter/library/Virtual Machine management/Basic/remove virtual machine).  I do this before performing the three steps above.  He there maybe better, easier, faster, etc., ways to do it.  I hope this helps.

• Need help with copy/move a virtual machine to Mac Pro for MacBook Pro

  Hello

  I have Fusion 7.1.1 installed on my Mac Pro (lap) and my MacBook Pro (laptop). I am copying my virtual Windows machine 8.1 of the tower to the laptop. I copied the. vmwarevm file from the tower to the laptop. When I try to import the virtual machine in Fusion on the laptop it is grayed out. I don't know why 'find Virtual Machines' does not work either.

  
  

  Thanks for any help,

  
  

  Steve

  Have you tried "Open and run" in the file menu of Fusion with the 8.1 Win as target VM?

  Note that if it works, ask if it has been copied or moved. If you Copied, renewal may be necessary because the MAC address has been changed.

• Add a virtual disk to an existing virtual machine.

  Hello

  Anyone know what would be the best way to create an action to add a new virtual disk (hard) to an existing virtual computer? I have found no existing action/workflow, and I do not know where to start.

  Thank you

  Hey Mikael,.

  There is a "workflow" for this!

  Library / vCenter / Virtual Machine Management / management of devices / add a disk.

  This workflow, you can add a VMDK to a virtual machine.
