• How to locate the location of a VMware Workstation v10.0.3 vmdk readers when stereotypes are present.

  Re: How to find the location of a VMware Workstation v10.0.3 vmdk readers when stereotypes are present.

  Hello

  Since nearly five months, I have worked on a particular project and am reviewing me with the details of the project. The virtual machine has three virtual disks. I remember the BONES of the virtual machine as well as the first disc of the vmdk virtual machine data files are in the Windows host file containing the virtual machine. Nothing unusual so far. I remember that I put the third disk of the virtual machine on my axis f: physical, but I want to make sure that before you start again work on the project.

  I see of http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003880 we should be able to examine the vmx file and see the locations of virtual disk. What I've noticed, is that since I was a snapshot, I see this:

  scsi0:2.present = 'TRUE '.

  scsi0:2.filename = "MyProject-Disk3 - 000001.vmdk".

  So what I see in the vmx is the physical location of the disk snapshot delta and not the physical location of the vmdk.

  I also did a search for vmware vmdk files - x.log and I find:

  2014 03-21 T 11: 35:46.964 - 04:00 | Worker #2 | I120: DISKLIB-DSCPTR: open [0]: "sample - Disk3.vmdk" (0xe)

  2014 03-21 T 11: 35:46.964 - 04:00 | Worker #2 | I120: DISKLIB-LINK: opened 'F:\MyProject-Disk3\MyProject-Disk3.vmdk' (0xe): monolithicSparse, 83886080 sectors / 40 GB.

  2014 03-21 T 11: 35:46.964 - 04:00 | Worker #2 | I120: DISKLIB-LIB: open 'G:\VMware VMs\MyProject\MyProject-Disk3-000001.vmdk' (0xa, type monolithicSparse flags).

  So by brute force, I discovered that the parent for the VM Disk3 vmdk is the physical disk F. And even here, the only reason why I know that I have the right VM disk, because I included "Disk3" in the VM disk naming convention that I used.

  But what happens if I hadn't used a physical VM disk naming convention which did not include the name of the virtual disk of the virtual machine? How could 100% sure that the third disk of my VM was the vmdk parent that I had located on the physical disk F?

  There must be an easier way to do this for days just like that.

  I look forward to your reply.

  Kind regards...

  P.S. I noticed that if I close this virtual machine and click on the 3 hard drive (SCSI), it only shows the name of the file of the virtual delta "MyProject-Disk3 - 000001.vmdk" machine and not the parent vmdk.

  P.S. I noticed that if I close this VM and try using the disk utilities, the map shows that the path to the file delta 'MyProject-Disk3 - 000001.vmdk' and the parent vmdk.

  Virtual disk snapshot files have the file name of the virtual disk parent included in the file descriptor hard (text file), or in the hard data file according to the format of the virtual disk. In the case of a monolithic virtual disk format (i.e. a hard single file), you may need to use a hex editor to find the 'parentFileNameHint' somewhere between 0x200 and 0x400.

• How to work the Optimus compared to VMware Workstation 8 with enable 3D

  Hi, I am doing some performance tests in VMware Workstation

  There are some improvements to run VMware using the Nvidia card or there is no improvement at all, and it's better to use default Intel card?

  I am running Windows 7 Ultimate host and as a guest Windows 7 Ultimate so I can compare with the windows experience.

  Host:

  

  Comments:

  

  Another thing I found interesting is why the performance of the hard disk are the same, but the memory is quite low in comparation with the speed of the host

  Is it normal? Can I improve the performance of the memory procesor or 3D in some way?

  As the comparation that I am very interested in the functioning of memory per second.

  There is always some trouble when virtual hardware running and it is not that you can do to improve except to avoid paging, the latest version of VMware Workstation and have the updated drivers.

  The Windows experience index is also a pretty poor excuse for reference so according to what are your objectives is better there tools like pass etc.

  What type of workload are underway in the virtual machine?

• (Beginner) of the initial steps for the new installation of vmware workstation & guest os

  Hi, very new for the virtual machine. I need help on what type of software (vmware), need and the first steps of the installation.

  Current configuration: a portable 3 separate HD, 1 computer = Windows 7, 2 = XP, 3 is Linux RH. I have manually swap HD to work on each operating system.

  Req: A laptop with Windows 7 as main OS and two other OS (XP and Linux) Guest.

  (1) I prefer not to install OS and the entire application again for the guest operating system (XP and linux), will like to convert, copy, etc.

  (2) can I install multiple OS (XP) for testing of applications and then delete them?

  (3) can I use a different version of an application in a guest operating system?

  The software that I need to buy:

  VMware workstation 7.1

  Version of the converted VMware?  (this may be free, I think)

  ThinApp 4. ???

  If these are vmware software that I need is a step by step installation, in particular of the convert.

  Thank you, ralph

  Hi Raoul,.

  Welcome to the forums.

  VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is a free download that is accessible to everyone, so you can use it to convert your existing machines.

  For testing purposes, you can create a virtual machine "or" with all standard applications, and then use the function 'linked-clone"of the workstation. In this way, you can have several machines quickly with the same basic configuration to test different applications.

  It is more complicated to have multiple versions of the same application in a single virtual machine. ThinApp seems to be the solution, but it should require the application packages (I have no experience with ThinApp) construction. It's a bit complicated just to test. Way the easiest would be to create a new virtual machine for each version of the application.

  Workstation and the converter are very easy to install if you use a standard configuration.

  Good luck.

• Cannot start the virtual machine on VMware Workstation 12.1.0

  The host machine is W2008R2, VM is the same. When im trying to start the current VM I see VMware screen, then "download files" screen loading, then VMware loading new screen and etc.

  Log file is attached below.

  An update of the firmware could certainly help.  After you install the update of the firmware, it can be useful following the instructions from the motherboard to reset the firmware configuration by default (if its configuration is not too heavily customized) and then reconfigure with custom settings, you might need.  Check that you have disabled in your TXT firmware settings too... who's going to stop us from using the capabilities of VT - x from the host.  And, where there is doubt, the error message is not really pleasant on cyclical food... Some systems cannot put a change of configuration of VT - x into force without being truly disconnected from power for a while, so if in case of doubt, he put it off and remove the power outlet for a few seconds.

  Your CPU is certainly capable of VT - x and support all the VT - x features required by VMware Workstation... Simply to force the system to allowing the use of VT - x and then it should start to work well.

  See you soon,.

• Deploy the OVF template in VMWare Workstation 10 using ovf tool

  Hi all

  I just started to explore the ovf tools. I have an ovf template available for a virtual computer and I was able to deploy in workstation using the GUI.

  Is there a way / command available to use this model of pre-existing .ovf and deploy a virtual machine in the workstation using this; ovf tool?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  What you can do is to use the ovftool to create a local virtual machine, and then open it in VMware Workstation.

  You can find ovftool.exe - examples of help running command line options

  Example: ovftool - tt = vmx c:\ovfs\my_vapp.ovf c:\vms\

• Impossible to disable the time synchronization in VMWare Workstation 8.0.1

  I read 1189 KB # as well as various articles on disabling time synchronization between host and guest, but I can't seem to stop synchronization.

  I closed the comments and edited the VMX file as follows:

  tools.syncTime = "FALSE".
  Time.Synchronize.continue = "FALSE".
  Time.Synchronize.Restore = "FALSE".
  Time.Synchronize.Resume.Disk = "FALSE".
  Time.Synchronize.Shrink = "FALSE".
  Tools.Synchronize.Tools.Startup = "FALSE".
  

  But no matter what, the time of comments still synchronizes to the host after turning the power on or return to.

  I tried on the hosts Windows 2008 x 86 and Windows 2008 R2 with the same results.  I also disabled the functionality of Windows to "synchronize with a time server Internet.

  I'm using VMWare Workstation 8.0.1 on Windows 7 Pro x 64.

  Clues as to what I'm missing?

  Thank you.

  Your initial message, I found that something is different with the content of KB.

  Will keep you ' tools.synchronize.tools.startup = 'FALSE' but the KB said there should be time.synchronize.tools.startup = 'FALSE'.»

  Please copy and paste below your *.vmx file model.

• How to activate the Internet connection on Windows Server 2003 is installed in the virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8?

  I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8. I need it to learn and practice the use of the Active Directory. I've also set up 3 Windows XP workstations connect to it, which means that they can communicate with Server 2003. What is lacking is the Internet connection on all of them. When I run ping 8.8.8.8 in one of these virtual machines, I get, 'Destination host unreachable.'

  I'm not sure, what if the problem comes from the settings in Windows or the settings of the virtual machine.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you, guys. I was finally able to put in place. It was quite an ordeal to deal with IP addresses and virtual networks. Here's how I did (in the screenshots) in case someone else needs it.

  (I also confess that it is perhaps one of the ways to implement. Maybe there is an easier way to do it with DHCP...)

  1. in your computer where is installed VMware Workstation 8 begin the "Virtual Network Editor." It is located in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation. And implement the network following (VMnet2 in my case):

  

  2 then in VMware Workstation itself in the virtual machine when Windows Server 2003 is installed set up two network as connections:

  This one is for external access to the Internet:

  

  And this one for intranet communications AD:

  

  3. then in the machine virtual de Windows Server 2003 set up what follows for two network adapters:

  For Internet access:

  

  Then, you need allow this connection to share:

  

  And then for the ad access to workstations (ensure that the static IP address is in the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor). I've also set up DNS to 127.0.0.1 because I installed on this Windows 2003 DNS server:

  

  4. from the Windows 2003 VM try ping 8.8.8.8. It should work now.

  5. go to each workstation, in my case, Windows XP, each in its own virtual machine and set up the network in the VMware Workstation as follows:

  

  6. then in the virtual machine, configure the network connection for Windows XP workstation. Don't forget to assign a new static IP address for each workstation, which not coinside with IP of the domain (this IP address must come from the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor):

  

  7. try first ping the domain, in my case ping 192.168.237.128. And then Internet, ping 8.8.8.8. The two should work!

  Continue with steps [5-7].

• How do I download the latest installers of VMware Workstation?

  Hello.

  I usually download the latest versions of workstations VMware from its web site, but I can't ("unable to process your request. Please try again later. ("error). I don't want to use the internal update because it won't let me keep the installer. Where can we download large installers to archive locally without using internal updater to my VMware Workstation?

  Thank you in advance.

  A key can be registered only once, since the service IT gave you the key, I guess that have it in their VMware account. You can ask to give you permission to download on My VMware portal.

• Unable to set the "exclusive mode" in vmware workstation 8

  I installed VMware Workstation 8, but when I click on "View-> exclusive mode" full screen, nothing happened. Someone else has experienced this problem or there are some workarounds to solve?

  Well, I think that I am able to reproduce your problem.  Thanks for reporting this.  To work around the problem, you can go in Edition > Preferences > display and uncheck the box ' Edge see the toolbar when this marking in fullscreen.  This is to prevent the toolbar full screen to reappear in exclusive mode when you move the mouse to the top of the screen.  I think that the toolbar will also become well hidden if you pin the toolbar before entering full-screen mode.

• Please help with the DNS problem in VMware Workstation 6.0.2

The problem is I have a server configured as a main domain controller, I can join my other two servers to the domain very well, I can ping by name, but none NSLOOKUP. Basically I have a DNS issue that I MUST correct.

  Anyone know what could be the problem? Or where to look? I attach a doc with my settings.

  Thanks in advance.

  Have you checked that the clients are configured to register in DNS?

  Have you checked the the event log for entries regarding a DNS record failed?

  Did you check that there is a records for each host in the appropriate DNS zone?

  The clients have the right DNS server configured?

• Old PITA bread - change the MAC address in VMware Workstation 6.5?

  Some versions of VMware Workstation enabled to manually set the MAC address of the virtual card.

  This possibility has been changed for several reasons.

  My personal opinion is clear.  A virtual machine needs to reflect as much as possible a hardware machine.

  VMware Workstation you can not change the MAC address, or you are related to a limited possibility, were the first hex addresses are fixed,

  so that it shows on the outside, it is a virtual machine.  VMware response is, you must run the server edition.  Well...

  Currently, I have seen, that the recent version of Virtual Box allows you to manually enter the MAC address

  for the virtual Interfaces based on Intel NIC. You can enter any MAC address, including existing material, NIC Intel MAC.

  So my opinion, the possibility of lock-out to COMPLETELY change the mac address of the virtual machine,

  must be activated again for all versions of VMware, as it is the option with other software.

  HM?  As far as I know, we have not added any restrictions.  We do not provide a user interface for it, but manually modifying the .vmx file and change ethernet0.addressType and ethernet0.address to a MAC from another provider address seem to work for me.

  I don't think the static MAC addresses are actually limited to the 00:50:56 range.

• Complete restoration of the Server 2008 R2 vmware workstation for windows backup image 9

  9 workstation.

  I am trying to restore a backup of windows server r2 2008 (made with the built-in windows backup) on an existing installation of vmware server 2008 r2. Basically, I just want to replace the facility with the backup version.

  The problem is, the windows to the backup image is on a USB key.

  The restore process is:

  1. Connect the usb host drive
  2. Insert the windows server r2 DVD in drive
  3. initialize the Server 2008 r2 comments and press the button ESC at startup, then boot from the CD
  4. Select 'repair' installation
  5. but here's the problem, windows backup image is on my USB, but at this stage I do not see the USB key from the client in the repair installation process.

  Ideas of the best way to do it?

  Thank you

  Okay, downloaded the ISO Image of Windows Server 2008 R2, created a new Virtual Machine, added the Windows Server backup and made a full backup without the destination for the backup drive, a USB Flash drive.

  Started the virtual machine of the ISO Image and it does not see the backup from a USB Flash drive, although I can see it from the command prompt.

  Also created a record gross hard pointing to the USB Flash drive and started the virtual machine of the ISO Image and he does not see the backup of the hard disk gross of the Flash USB drive, because the Virtual Machine had problems during the boot process.  Forget the exact error message, but I tried as a whole disk and a partition.  So the why I tested it by copying it to a normal file depending on the disc hard virtual (and worked).

  Finally I created a regular file based hard and copied the backup folder of the USB Flash it and then started the virtual machine drive of the ISO Image and it had no problem see the backup from the normal file based hard.

  It seems that you have to take the long way around, but at least, you should be able to see!

  I know not when booting from the ISO Image or a disc of Windows Server 2008 R2, backup tools command line are available to restore the image however you could examine the issue.  I would like to but I just don't have the time at the moment.
