Machine virtual 32-bit on 64-bit host

I moved a windows 2003 32-bit computer to a 64-bit host. I would like to upgrade the virtual machine to Windows 2008 R2, is anyway that I can do the virtual machine 64-bit?

The host is running ESXi 5.

Hello

Not a limitation of vmware as such in this case, rather a cross-microsoft architecture upgrades are not supported

See - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd979563(v=ws.10).aspx

This would be the case with any hypervisor

  • problem of machine virtual 64-bit

    Hello

    In my company, we have 3 HP Elitebook 8560w with Windows 7 Enterprise installed.

    We installed Vmware workstation and you have installed Ubuntu 32-bit and 64-bit virtual machines.

    The 64-bit virtual machine however gives a problem.

    Sometimes it will start, sometimes not. I downloaded the havdetectiontool.exe from the microsoft site. After a system restart the diagnosis of the tool is the first image below.

    Now you will probably tell me that I need to enable something in the bios, but what happens if I force the HP to sleep and then wake up again. After you run the tool now, look at what he says (2nd image). The virtual machine will now start very well.

    The version of the BIOS on this computer is HP 68SVD worm F.22, 05.01.2012.

    Question is: is this a bios issue or what?

    I solved it. Somehow the sleep of the PC feature sometimes allows virtualization, wrong leads us to believe that nothing was to be done in the BIOS.

    The "Virtualization Technology" checkbox is turned off in the BIOS on HP computers apparently by default. Somehow the 32-bit Virtual Machines are not affected by this piece, but 64-bit VMS are :-)

  • Longmode required to run the machine virtual 64-bit - ESXi5

    I have a PC with processor i3 intel VT and Intel 64-bit enable in the BIOS. In addition to this, I installed windows 7 64-bit ultimate and then installed Vmware workstation 7.

    On this woekstation, I installed ESXi5 without any problems and when I connect to VI cline tof ESXi5 and when I tried to create 64 bit VM, it gives me an error like below, when you start the virtual machine.

    This virtual computer is configured for 64-bit guest operating system. However, 64-bit performance is not possible. Longmode is disable for this virtual machine.

    Please find attached snapshot of the configuration of the virtual machine and error.

    I'm 100% sure that Intel VT is enabled in the BIOS.

    Please help on this.

    Kind regards

    If you are wanting to run nested 64 bit guests then the basic hypervisor has to ESXi 5 / 8 Workstation or Fusion 4.  For nested 32-bit clients is not the case.

  • Run a machine virtual 64-bit on ESX4i with an Intel Core2Quad Q9450

    I try to install Windows Server 2008 R2 which only runs on 64-bit processor.

    I managed to install on a Core i7 CPU but even if I updated the OS setting in

    Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit, the installion CD tell me that I can't install it

    on a 32-bit CPU...

    The Q9450 is not compatible with 64-bit virtualization?

    I won't be able to install 2 WS2008 R2 DCs on 2 different ESX4i host.

    I restarted the ESX4i host and the BIOS has active VT - d.  All the other options are enabled.

    VT - d is not relevant.  However, if all other options are enabled, this could be your problem.  Note that "the execution of confidence" must be disabled.

    Maybe I have to start with the ISO talking about VMware Knowledge Base article.

    After that, I could use the special parameter in ESX4i workaround with some CPUS where

    some core are not active VT...

    ESXi does not workaround for a buggy BIOS.  The privileged setting, that you reference is available in hosted only products.

  • Win2008 (32 bit) install on 64-bit host, possible?

    I was instructed to set up a new virtual machine with 32-bit Win 2008 on a host computer that is running a 64-bit virtual machines.  I prepared the virtual machine, but when I try to install Server 2008, the only option is 64-bit.  Just to be clear, the guest operating system is Windows Server 2008 not 2008R2.

    Configuration:

    4.1.0,348481 ESXi

    Dell PE 2950

    I prepared the virtual machine, but when I try to install Server 2008, the only option is 64-bit.

    Basically he has absolutely no problem with the management of the 32-bit clients. All you have to do is select the guest OS appropriate when creating the virtual machine and use the installation of Windows 2008 (32-bit) / ISO of the CD for the installation of the OS.

  • How to install VM Workstation v7.1.1 as pure 64-bit 32-bit HOST HOST

    Hello all-

    Thank you for taking the time to read my post.  I've been using VM Workstation since v3 and still use it today.  My host is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with 4 GB memory and 2 TB of storage.  I also have two video cards.  I run VM Workstation 7.1.1 with no problems but noted that it continues to be installed in the Program Files (x 86) directory my HOST whenever I applied updates, etc..  I always had the impression that this folder, Program Files (x 86) in Windows 7 64-bit is used to install 32-bit applications.  VM Workstation v7.1.1 is supposed to be good for the 32-bit and 64-bit HOSTS.  My Question: How to install VM Workstation v7.1.1 as application HOST 64-bit on my machine?  I think that it is running as a 32-bit application, and I would have run as a 64-bit application.  You can provide any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Documentation of the user don't give not any what resolution to this issue.  It does not address the installation on the HOST computer, and how to specify an installation pure 64 bit.  An additional side note: My GUEST machines all work in 64-bit with no problems of any kind.  I am running Windows 7, Linux RH Enterprise, Centos 5.3 and Fedora 13.  All are in 64-bit mode and ideal.  VM Workstation is an excellent product!

    Again, thank you for taking the time to read and answer my question.

    Workstation for Windows 64 is a hybrid or however you would call it.

    MISTLETOE is a 32-bit application while the engine that actually will the VMs is 64-bit.

    That's why find you it in the default path of the 32-bit application.

    Check with the Task Manager when a virtual machine works - you'll see vmware.exe 32bits or vmplayer.exe. These two give you MISTLETOE.

    And you will see a vmware - vmx.exe 64-bit who is the applicatiojn who is actually going to virtual machines.

    This means that you don't need to change anything. Mission is already accomplished.

  • Pass the 32-bit client from host 32-bit to 64-bit host

    Hello

    I created a client of Windows 2003 32 bit on Win XP 32 bit host server using vmware workstation 6.0.3

    Now, I need to use this vmware image on a host of Win XP 64 bit or Vista 64-bit. Does anyone know if there could be complications with that?

    Thank you!

    None

    you just need to copy and paste your VM and make sure that you have a sufficient resources for your virtual machine (with Vista, you lose some of them)

  • 64-bit host and guest (migrate) Conversion and construction

    First I'll start with the overview information.

    I started using VMware Server v1 several years ago, running on Windows and Linux Hosts. Some systems started at this level and have climbed into the new versions that have come out over the years. Now, I use VMware ESXi 4, ESXi v3.5 and VM Server 2. I'm moving all VMware Server 2 systems to the ESXi software lineup.

    I recently bought a Dell 2850 Server I thought able to accommodate 64-bit systems in a hosted environment. The model number of the processor is a SL8MA. It does not have a 64-bit virtualization hosting. From what I've read the Dell 2950 is quite capable of accommodating a virtualized 64 bit VM. VMware ESXi v4 fits perfectly in the 2850.

    When I spoke with a representative of the company, I bought the server from there said the main chip used in the Dell Server 2850 was a SL8MA.

    Here is some information from Intel on the details of the cpu.

    There are a few issues I have with the help of VMware Converter v4. When you try to move a 64-bit VM guest (s) of an existing VMware Server 2 running on Fedora Core 6 (noted but doesn't really count) I get a message indicating that the HOST server does not support the 64-bit virtualization. Why can't I not move the system runs a similar system using a processor that only supports EM64T?

    Can I just move the files created using VMware Server 2 hard?

    What VM version is VMware Server 2 on?

    Can I convert files for a Version of VMware ESXi 6 or 7 format hard?

    http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/6257/ddv2vx3n_108d3vmntdz_b.png

    What I don't understand is how the server of VMware hosting a 64-bit operating system is running on a 64-bit EM64T processor but I can't transfer the virtual machine on a similar box using a compatible with VMware Server that works with VMware converter. IE: transfer of VMware Server 2 to VMware ESXi 3.5 or ESXi 4.

    The details of the system are listed below for the system already running a 64-bit host.

    Can I install an operating system 64-bit on a VMware ESX v4?

    Can I install an operating system 64-bit on a VMware Server 2? Yes, it seems so since I have one running, I can just move it to another server EM64T.

    To transfer 64-bit HOST system must run 64-bit Support of VT.

    Why should I use a 64-bit system on another processor EM64T?...

    You must both VT and EM64T in order to run the 64-bit clients.  See article 1901.

  • XP 32-bit, 64-bit host invited, > 4 GB RAM

    I am new to virtualization.

    I have XP PRO 32-bit and 64-bit.  Currently I use the 32-bit version on my workstation because all my hardware and software plays well with it and everything works fine.

    My question is, if I use the 32-bit operating system as the host operating system and the 64-bit as the guest, will be the guest of 64 bit OS recognize all the RAM I installed in the system, or will it recognize only up to 4 GB (the 32-bit limit)?

    Should I use the operating system 64-bit as a host for better performance?

    absynther - so you say that the 64 XP virtual machine that I only use on my 2 k 3-32 bit host is just my imagination?

    also the fact that I assigned 6 GB of RAM in it while my host only has 4 GB and detects only 3.7 GB of them - as imy imagination?

    You can try to install the service of vmnetbridge with vnetlib64.exe

    Have a look here

    Note: the instructions are written for 32-bit windows and may need some adjustments for 64-bit

  • VMware server in Vista and 64-bit hosts

    Hello...

    I have a DELL Latitude E6400 laptop with Intel P8600 processor.

    I installed VMware Server 2 on Vista Business 32-bit Edition.  It works but I cannot create virtual machines in 64-bit.

    Can someone explain to me why?

    THX.

    To run 64-bit clients, you must make sure that you have intel VT turned on in your bios.  Go into your BIOS and see if this option is enabled.  Without it, you cannot install a 64-bit client.  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=1901

  • Best practices - addition RDM to the second node (W2K3) MCSC Machine virtual nodes on the physical host computers

    Addition of RDM to the second node (W2K3) MCSC Machine virtual nodes on the physical host computers

    Unable to find another thread on this

    When you add RAW disks to the second node in Virtual Machines across physical hosts in the Cluster / Cluster across boxes,.

    VMware said shared point of the storage drives in the same location as the first node sharing storage disc *.

    -Select use an existing virtual drive...

    -In the drive path, navigate to the location of the disk (quorum) specified for the first node

    -Select the same virtual device node you chose for the first virtual machine shared storage disks, IE SCSI (1:0)...

    In other words to add the RDM to mscs-node2, navigate to/vmfs/volumes/lun1/mscs-node1 / mscs - node1_2.vmdk (mscs-node1_2 - rdmp.vmdk)

    For years we have directly added the ROW the second node specifying RDM disk not existing does not, in general we do directly from the host, not the vCenter, it seems to work fine.

    For what is the safest way, the official method can cause all sorts of problems if you need to cancel the registration of the ROW on the first node (here's where I found no official documentation).

    Delete you or keep the file descriptor? We tried to keep him, but ended up with several mappings to la.vmdk/rdmp.vmdk, so now, this system has disk2_.vmdk / disk2_ - rdmp.vmdk and disk4_.vmdk / disk4_ - rdmp.vmdk pointing to the same RAW.

    What really bothers me is safety, these are very important boxes, I prefer to continue to have the VMDK and rdmp.vmdk in separate data warehouses, and do not have this dependence on the head node

    Your comments please, we are viewing the store only setup of MSCS clusters with lanes separated from RDM and are there risks associated with this?

    * Ref: "Setup for Microsoft Cluster Service - 4.1 and Failover Clustering".

    I realize there was an error in my logic

    When you work with the main node, if there is a requirement to unmap drives ROUGH (move to another cluster vmware, cloning the system etc.)

    Take note of the location of all the rdmp.vmdks

    Remove each rdm disk without deleting

    To add

    Add "Use an existing virtual disk to disk" (yes I know its bad, but once you create the host calling now think its virtual)

    Navigate to the mapping of existing raw device, appearing like a vmdk * and add using the former location of scsi

    Graphic interface hides the descriptor

    A virtual disk has a vmdk and a flat.vmdk

    A CRUDE disk has a vmdk and a rdmp.vmdk (the dish is replaced by vocation)

    A suggestion of one of my companions is to locate the al the ROW in a single data store small, visibility of virtual machines with raw disk went like this
