• Hyper-V inside the VMWare virtual machine

  We are eager to try NxTop VDI virtual computer (www.virtualcomputer.com). The center of NxTop management software requires Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit with HyperV. We don't have an additional physical host to install Server 2 k 8 with HyperV just for this test. Has anyone already installed server 2 k 8 WITH HyperV inside a VMWare VM before? I tried and windows installs fine but when I go on installing HyperV it says that it cannot install HyperV because the processor is not in the current VT. I know it's an intel VT cpu and I made sure it was enabled in the BIOS. Any ideas?

  Even if your physical processor supports VT, virtual CPU virtual machine does not work. VT is not spent to virtual machines.

• Flash media server 3 on VMWare virtual machine

  Someone know a FMS 3 can run smoothly on a machine virtual vmware? If so, is there any condition must be aware? Thanks for any adivse.

  We do not "officially" support the FMS under a virtual machine running, and I do not recommend the use of a virtual machine for a production server. Developers here systematically to use VMWare to test, then you can have some success using a virtual machine to test your applications.

  The biggest problem we have encountered (so far!) using VMWare's virtual machine clock tends to be very nervous compared to a dedicated machine. This Jig can lead to variations in the different operations based on the clock, interpreted by the FMS, particularly in buffer and media data.

• virus and malware protection of VMWare virtual machines at the hypervisor level

  Hello

  are there other than Trend Micro deep Security products that can protect virtual machines from the host at the hypervisor level?

  Any experience with deep security?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  McAfee has their product 'MOVE' for hypervisors, which we have had success with.

  There is also a Kaspersky solution, although I can't see offhand what it's called.

• The host of windows 7, Linux on a virtual machine as a guest

  Greetings:

  I want to install Virtual box with Linux as a guest on my laptop with windows 7 ultimate.

  I have almost 2 GB of Ram.

  I have to consider at least 512 MB for ubuntu.

  What is a locked memory? in other words, even when I don't use VB with linux as a guest, host system can still not use full 2 GB of RAM?

  also when I use (windows 7 ultimate) host and guest (ubuntu), I might add to virtual memory to keep the machine running slowly?

  and one last question, then the installation of Virtual box I lose the internet connection after installing, everything will be fine? no problems?

  Thanks in advance

• linux disk Vmware of transfer to another machine

  I know this has been asked before, but I can't seem to locate it through research. I have two hard drives on my mac and the drive that has the Vmware Fusion with Linux OS on it is becoming full.  I would like to move the entire thing on the second disc.  How can I do this correctly to ensure that I do not corrupt the Linux disk image and maintain recognition smoothly by the merger?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  In the past, I have tried this and obviously there were files, etc. that I missed.

  Thank you!!

  If you have "Show all file Extensions" turned on in the Finder preferences, you will notice that your VM Linux some_VM_name.vmwarevm.  This is a set of Mac who behaves as if there is a file in the Finder is concerned, but in reality in that it is only a folder with all the files you Linux VM included.  All you have to do is drag the icon of another .vmwarevm your drive and the virtual machine will be copied to this location.  If you don't know where the Linux VM using virtual machine library window, select the virtual computer object, right-click and select Show in Finder.  It's what you want to copy to the other disk.

  Once you have copied to the other disk, double click on its "icon in the Finder, merge will ask you if you copied or moved the computer virtual (select Moved) and then it should start normally.  When you have confirmed that the copied VM works fine then you will remove it from the original disc in which Machine virtual library of melting point indicates it does not find this particular copy and you can simply remove the entry from the Virtual Machine library.

  I recommend that the virtual machine is shutdown / power off when you perform this copy.

• Access to the BlackBerry through the USB port on the virtual machine VMWare

  I have my development environment configuration in VMWare virtual machine, and I have no problems of deployment of BlackBerry applications on a simulator that runs as another virtual machine. The problem starts when I try deploying to the device via the USB port. The address is assigned when the mode of development on the device is not accessible from the VM, but only from my host, who do me any good, since as I said my IDE is in the virtual machine. A way to solve this problem? I can still deploy to the device via wi - fi (which is btw access via different ip - one given by the network) by this can sometimes be slow depending on the strength of the signal, etc, so I prefer to be able to deploy via the USB port.

  Just in case anyone has the same problem, how to activate must, VMWare Player click on the USB icon (to the right) and choose to disconnect from the host. Connecting the USB port at the prompt. Stupid...

• Is it possible to programmatically retrieve the MAC address of a virtual machine VMware

  Can anyone suggest to programmatically retrieve the MAC address of a VMware virtual machine.

  I need a code for the above features.

  Post edited by: AntonVZhbankov

  Corrected in Hyper-V to VMware

  Now that I have a code in front of me, you can try essentially this:

  
  // MAC Variable
  string MACAddress;
  
  // Get Config Info (hardware)
  vmConfigInfo = (VirtualMachineConfigInfo)myAPI.getProperties(vmRef, new String[1] {"config"});
  
  //Iterate through devices
  foreach (VirtualDevice vDv in vmConfigInfo.hardware.device)
  {
      try
      {
          VirtualEthernetCard mycard = (VirtualEthernetCard)vDv;
          MACAddress = mycard.macAddress;
      }
      catch
      {
      }
  }
  

  Basically what's happening hear, you are pulling all the pieces of virtual hardware and iterate through them. If the piece is a network card, copy the following code will be able to cast an and pull up on the Mac. Otherwise, the cast fails and he is going to move. If you have multiple network cards, you want to add the mac to an array of strings, or something to keep account of more than one.

  This code assumes that you have connected and you have a way to make the configuration of the virtual machine property. The function 'getProperty' in the present code referring to my own function, not one in VMWare. If you don't know how to do this, just post back here and I know there are examples of pages out there anyone can post to explain this part.

• Connect physical hard disks to the virtual machine (and leave the data intact)

  Hello

  I'm looking to virtualize a SOHO headless server, that I use mainly for secure file storage.

  Currently, the system runs Linux installed on a small disc and has two drives 1.5 TB, used exclusively for data, in a cluster of ZFS mirroring. (I use the ZFS-fuse Linux-based application).

  I want virtualization for two reasons. One is to make administration easier and safer - avoid having to connect a keyboard and the physical monitor to the box from time to time. The other is that the machine is a bit more powerful to handle the load, and I'm hoping to make it work on other, more challenging tasks.

  Now, there is a catch. These discs are as highly important. I mean the data on them. What I need is to convert the current Linux system to a virtual machine, or re - install Linux on a virtual machine (don't like that), then connect the physical disks to the virtual machine as if they were actually connected.

  I certainly don't want to vmware touches those disks somehow.

  I've read the documentation, but I'm a noob when it comes to server virtualization and system engineering and don't quite understand if this is possible or not. These discs are not a SAN, they are physically connected to the server, I want to install vSphere on. (Of course, I'll log out when I run the setup of vSphere. But I need plug them again later, and they need to be sure that vmware will leave them alone and pass them to the virtual machine transparent.)

  Sigmoid wrote:

  Oh yes, the cluster mirrored ZFS. It is essentially a software RAID type thingie.

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

  A material, or the point of view of virtualization, it appears two hard drives with a single huge partition on each that is not transparent to anyone, except the implementation of ZFS.

  OK, means that you can break the RAID, connect the drives to different host and configure RAID once again, right?

  Let's do it this way

  1. We will need a disc player more for VM, cause on flash, we install ESXi
  2. I will share ZFS :-), all you need to do with that before you install ESXi
  3. make the BACKUP!
  4. Disconnect the data host drives
  5. install ESXi 4.1 U1 free version on flash
  6. Download the site VMware vSphere client
  7. Connect the VM disk to ESXi
  8. customer help create the virtual machine and install the OS on it
  9. stop the virtual machine and esxi
  10. connect DATA drives to the ESXi host
  11. begin to ESXi
  12. See how to add RDM on youtube, after client use, change first hardware VM--> add a new hard disk--> choose Raw Device Mapping--> (physical or virtual) mode--> store it with folder VM - FACT
  13. Start the virtual machine, now your VM should see both drives, with good data course :-)

  I have just made this procedure (add ROW with data in Linux VM) on ubuntu VM, works well

  See you soon

• Firmware = "efi": Virtual Machine fails ISO image file

  Hello

  I created a new Virtual Machine and choose in the settings under the CD/DVD (IDE) "use ISO image file". Advanced CD/DVD settings: device virtual node, IDE 1:0, CD/DVD (IDE).

  But it does not work. Why?

  

  It looks like the tool of creation of media does the same mistake that we saw several other OS vendors.  Quoting EFI/UEFI firmware in a Machine using VMware virtual:

  The UEFI specification allows some flexibility for sellers to extend the firmware, as well as for the implementation (or omit) optional parts of the UEFI specification.  Sometimes, OS vendors end by unintentionally depending on the characteristics of their development and test systems that are not part of the specification UEFI, thus limiting their operating system compatibility.

  The most common case of what we saw was sellers OS placing the EFI bootloader for the installation media on an ISO9660 or UDF filesystem instead of a partition of El Torito.  The UEFI specification does not require the ability to read an ISO9660 or UDF file system, although some hardware and the virtual platform providers include drivers for filesystems in any case.  Operating systems that are dependent on the presence of a pilot ISO9660 or UDF will severely restrict the platforms on which they can run, and these operating systems will not run in a VMware virtual machine.

  Your latest screenshot shows that the EFI boot files are present on the main filesystem UDF to disk, but your first screenshot shows the boot EFI files are not present in an El Torito boot partition, as requires it the EFI specification.  The drive you have there will depend on the presence of a UDF driver in the firmware of the system, so it will be bootable on some systems, but not all.  It will not be bootable in a VMware virtual machine.

  This should be reported to Microsoft as a defect in his media creation tool.

  In the meantime, there is a pre-built available for download on the Microsoft site, .iso image without using mediacreationtool.exe?  There is a much better chance of success with an .iso file that is downloaded directly.

  See you soon,.

• UEFI SecureBoot with ESX 5 virtual machines?

  Hello

  Any help is appreciated on this point - nobody knows if it is possible to start virtual Windows 8 ESXi with Secure Boot with Machines?

  
  There seems to be no Secure Boot option in the VMware of EFI implementation.

  Thank you

  J

  JonnerHello and welcome on the VMware communities!

  Your conclusions are correct: Secure Boot UEFI is not currently available in all VMware virtual machines.

  See you soon,.

• with lots of virtual machines root partiton

  Hi all.

  I have vmware server 2.0 installed on ubuntu 10.04.

  Last week, I have 7 GB free, and today I have 0 GB free on the store of data/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines.

  Size of filesystem used Avail use % mounted on
  / dev/sda7 281 292G G 0 100%.
  Orchard 2.9 G 92 K 2.9 G 1% / var/run
  varlock 2.9 G 0 0% of 2.9 G/var/lock
  udev 2.9 G 36 K 2.9 G 1% / dev
  devshm G 2.9 2.9 G 0 0% / dev/shm
  LRM 2.9 G 44M 2.9 G 2% /lib/modules/2.6.24-23-generic/volatile
  / dev/sda1 183M 24 M / 150M 14% Boot
  / dev/sda6 1.9 G 66 M 1.8 G 4% / tmp

  I am trying:

  -apt - get autoclean, clean apt - get, apt - get - purge autoremove

  But the size is not increasing. I think this is the vmware server.

  I have three VM on vmware server, and one of them got three vmdk (*.vmdk *-000001.vmdk *-000002.vmdk), but the second (*-000001.vmdk) of them is not modifed the 26.03.2011. How can I remove them? Is this possible?

  Thank you.

  Nothing to be puzzled. This vmx looks as expected. It's always the last snapshot of the string pointed to by the vmx file. The chain is then made based on the information (for example, parentFileNameHint, CID, parentCID) in the vmdk files.

• virtual machine is stored is almost full yet window lecteurC said 29GB free

  Get vmware message has suspended this virtual machine because the disc what virtual machine is stored iss almost full. to continue, free 962 MB of disk space.

  My Mac has more than 160 GB free. Bootcamp has 40 GB but showing only 1 GB free. VMware virtual machine COPY has 5 GB and machine virtual VMware has 25 GB. Yet when I go into a virtual machine VMware says drive C size 40 GB and 11 GB used with 29 GB free. Where free space?

  Simply create a file .zip encrypted with a password and send me the password by private Message...

  In a Terminal copy and paste the following command, as it is and then press on enter and type the password and press enter and repeat the password, announcement etc. then tie the encrypted.zip and send the password via private Message.

  zip -0 -e /Users/${USER}/Desktop/encrypted.zip /Users/${USER}/Desktop/vm-*.tgz
  

  After I get the file, you can delete it then if you want.
