• VMWare Workstation 10 - jerky and unresponsive under load. [UPDATE: DisplayFusion cause possible] [SOLVED: DisplayFusion parameters]

  I have a problem with some VMWare Workstation customers, which case the mouse and keyboard to the virtual machine stops responding for a second or two under load. The mouse cursor stops, or jerk around the screen, and once past the load will be generally shot in another part of the screen. Similarly, the keyboard will become unresponsive, but when the load goes it will tend to double/triple type characters have been typed during the slow down.

  I use these virtual machines primarily for programming and a good example of the guest being "under load" is when I am compiling; It is a heavy load of CPU and i/o load.

  Two 64-bit Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 comments behave in this way, even if a Windows 2003 R2 plu prompt does not work.

  The virtual machines are configured with 2 GB or 4 GB, which is set to adapt to the host (who has much free). Virtual machines and disks are on one of the the two SSD drives. They are both configured to monitor several. In both cases, there is a virtual primary 60GB, preeallocated and no split disk and a virtual disk of 10 GB, allocated in advance, do not divide and define it as independent.

  I tried a number of settings, including having acceleration 3D on and out, manually replacing the CPU virtualization settings in VMWare and I tried all the following settings (together) and of which none have solved the problem:

  svga.vramSize = 134217728

  mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

  prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.

  mainmem.backing = 'swap '.

  insulation. Tools.Unity.Disable = 'TRUE '.

  If I connect via RDP to these machines, rather than using the workstation console, I do not understand the problem and there is not any particularly notable slowdown in performance

  I had this behavior earlier in 9 work stations, but the upgrade to 10 did not make a difference.

  Someone at - it recommendations for investigating or fixing this problem - it renders useless VMs for software development which is their main purpose?

  Thanks in advance for any advice or help.

  My host system is as follows:

  Mobo: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO

  CPU: Intel i7 2600 K

  RAM: 16 GB

  Video: Nvidia 580 for 2 monitors, integrated Intel SandyBridge third.

  HARD drive: the hosts to the Samsung 840 Pro SSD, SSD Crucial M225 CT128, Western Digital 2 TB HARD drive

  SE host: Windows 7 x 64

  Thanks to Keith Lammers in this thread on the site of DisplayFusion.

  It seems that the activation of the option of the processor affinity in the Fusion Advanced Setttings display makes the disappearance of the problem.

• 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,.

• 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].

• Sharing virtual machines in 8 workstation

  Hi all

  Before the upgrade to Workstation 8, I was curious to know is the best place to put shared virtual computer is a desktop machine or a computer (Win7 or Windows Server 2008 R2) Server?

  Thank you

  Alberto

  No, users of shared virtual machines will not be able to use advanced graphics on their dev machines.
  I'm not sure of the part of the license. I think, VMware workstation license requires only for the hosted operating system, not for guested operating systems. I mean you can build N number of virtual machines on your physical server with a single license.

• VMware Workstation is unable to open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum file size supported by the host file system.

  I'm transitioning from Windows XP (64-bit) on a new computer with Windows 7 installed.  I undertook to VMWare Workstation 6 7.0.1 in the process.  The problem is with a very large RAID 5 volume on the new system.  It's a score of 5.45 TB (TPG and NTFS).

  When I try to start a virtual machine on this volume, I get the message "VMware Workstation cannot open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum size of the files supported by the host file system.".  This is obviously not true.  If I copy the virtual machine to another drive on the system, it starts without a problem.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to work around this problem?

  try to add this line in the vmx file:

  diskLib.sparseMaxFileSizeCheck = "false".

  Maybe it helps.

  VMDK-type do you use?

  monolithicSparse? -C' is the only part type more?

• 10 workstation online best way to keep the host offline and guests?

  Newbie question: Workstation 10 - have a host Windows 7 Ultimate x 64, several guests Linux Mint 17.3 (KDE). The machine is portable i7 with 16 GB of RAM. The network is wireless only (cannot use cable in current situation).

  I would keep the Windows 7 host permanently out of the network. The guests are online and used for web and similar access. What would be the best way to set up on the side of the network, assuming that it can be done?

  Thanks a lot for your help!

  PH

  Hello

  Well this is... depends on what you intend to 'offline' for the customer.

  If you are planning that the guests to be accessible from the outside (I mean through wifi to your host), the host has (?) to be somehow connected, so online?

  There is perhaps a way to restrict connections from hosts on the outside... so that web page in emails do not work, but the host is will still be able to receive a part of traffic in my humble OPINION.

  With my knowledge and my experience, I know:

  -You can connect a guest with his * own * USB hardware. I mean you can disconnect from host a WiFi USB (or USB ethernet adapt) card and connect it to a given host. So the host could be offline (no wifi, no ethernet), but the guest can be connected through the material, it will set up.

  -guests could communicate with each other via a 'host-only' adapter or a bridge (as your ethernet NiC).

  -When the ethernet NiC host is physically connected (and guests on her bridge), communication between clients is broken... but a software solution is to add a dummy loopback adapter to simulates network card is connected. In this used during travels by train, without ethernet or wifi, to avoid changing the working configuration of the guests in bridge on the ethernet adapter that I used to have to work! :-) Modifying simply physical WMnet0 (eg) to ethernet virtual network configuration microsoft Loopback to tour.

  Took the 3 above stated and your configuration:

  -1 host must be offline

  -several guests that should be online

  -ethernet to the home not connected

  You can try to:

  -installation of a map of looping to the host (http://www.groovypost.com/howto/microsoft/install-a-loopback-adapter-in-windows-7/ )

  -connect and configure a physical map of wifi USB to one of your comments (comments should have a virtual USB controller installed).

  -share your comments above WiFi connection.

  -Configure the * other * invited to use the above share under their gateway address (and DNS I guess?) and set up their virtual connection through the loop (you may need to manually change the address/subnet of the closure to match that of the shared connection).

  It's an idea to dig.

  Own a unique login prompt works for sure, but use it as a gateway to the other guests might be the tricky part (at least for me)!

  My 2 cents! ;-)

  Kind regards.

• Workstation Pro 12 will be not client 32-bit Vista autofit then resizes of the host window

  I use 12 Pro Workstation on Windows 7 64 bit.

  I had a VM Vista 32 - bit desktop 11 step, I had put for the prompt automatically resize to fit the host VMware window.

  I upgraded to Workstation Pro 12, open the virtual machine and updated for compatibility of 12 jobs. I started it up and everything was fine with the resizing as a guest before to match the host window.

  Then, I've updated the VMware Tools. And now, if I resize the window host VMware, Vista clients sound USB connect/disconnect bongs, and after a few seconds, the host window snaps back to its previous size.

  It is the only VM 32 bits that I have, but with Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 8.1 VMs version 12 VMware Tools work very well and comments autofit works exactly as it did before.

  All work around (other that the no upgrade VMWare Tools)?

  Thank you

  Alan

  Same thing happened for me (Vista 32-bit). Same guest machine worked well with Workstation 8 but update to hardware of Pro 12 caused the automatic adjustment to stop working for this particular machine. Windows 10 and Windows 8 virtual machines work fine.

  Interestingly, I found that disabling the hardware acceleration of 3D (under the virtual computer screen settings) solved the problem for me - which is something I had to do to solve another problem I had. Not sure if you have improvements 3D accelerated or not, but it can be worth it.

• How related is a license of workstation to the host?

  I've been evaluating various products VM to use desktop, and I decided that VMWare Workstation provides enough advantage on free products worth the price.

  My current desktop is Linux Ubuntu 11.10, running on the bare metal.  It is my intention to move gradually, to a Linux Mint 12.0 installation, running in a virtual machine.  In other words, for a few weeks or a few months, as I move applications and configurations, one at a time, I'll have the two race.

  Currently, I'm running on a Workstation 8.0 evaluation license, with installed on Ubuntu and mint in a guest host.

  Once I moved everything into the virtual machine of mint, I anticipate replacing the host - a clean, stripped, install Linux on a new disk and then installing the workstation on that host.  Use it for virtual computers little more accommodations - including the VM of mint I use as my main office.

  My problem is that I'm not likely to complete the transition process before my trial license runs out.

  So the question - I'm having problems with the license of workstation, if I install it on a hard drive with an Ubuntu installation and then install it later on a different hard disk to a different Linux installation.  I'm not worried about the legal aspects - there is only a single physical computer, and it's only going to start on one drive at a time.  But I'm worried I might fall against the validation of license of workstation problems.  I could easily see how it could decide that I'm trying to run it on two different machines.

  Can I expect problems?  Or I worry about anything?

  IMO there will be no problems with this approach, legal or technical. VMware Workstation requires no activation, enter the license key is all he needs. As long as you make sure that the licensed version works on one system, you should be fine.

• Workstation 8: Upload failed: Curl error: could not resolve the host name

  I have workstation 8 connected to our ESX host, it shows all the machines and allows me to connect to their end. But when I try to copy/paste/drag and drop a local virtual machine over there he said "Vmware workstation 8: Upload failed: Curl error: could not resolve the host name.

  Someone at - he fell on this or have any ideas why this would be. I think that if it does not find the host name, I could not navigate or connect to my Virtual Center.

  Hello

  Whats is your ESX host name? I would recommend using with full ESX host name during the connection. You can connect to the ESX host using the host name, but to download the VM in this topic, you will need to use FULL of ESX host of domain name when connecting.

  Please try to do it and let us know if it solves your problem.

  Thank you

• Dedicated network adapter to the virtual machine and the host computer not let can visit his profile

  OK, here's my question, I know how to give themselves a phyiscal nic to a vmware, but I wanted to take it one step further and do not leave the host send or receive data from this network card, only the virtual machine can use this network/NIC...

  Here's my reasoning, I have to network conections, one is for my internal/field network and the second is a direct connection to the internet (Comcast) I don't want to use to separate the machines have for internet connection, I want to be on the same machine phyiscal and have just the vmware machine talking to comcast... is it possible?  I am running VMware workstation 7, last update.

  Thank you

  Cdrshm

  I assume you are using a Windows host?

  If Yes...

  -first set up networking networking with vmnetcfg.exe

  -assign vmnet0 to the network card for the internal network

  -assign vmnet2 to the network card used for direct access to the internet

  -Right-click on the map network-icon in the systray and access the properties of the network adapter for vmnet2

  -Disable all other protocols and the Protocol of vmware_bridge for this network adapter

  result: a virtual machine that uses vmnet2 can directly access the internet and the host has no IP address for this network adapter - and therefore cannot use it.

• Display notifications to the host in the virtual machine

  Hello

  I use an Instant Messenger (Pidgin) client on my machine (Windows) host.  But I spend a lot of time in VMWare workstation.  I would like to be able to know when someone is trying to contact me through the instant messaging client.  Now, I continue to have switch between the host and the virtual machine to check if anyone has happened to contact me.

  While I could install the instant messaging client in the virtual machine, then I have the opposite problem - when in the host machine, I wouldn't see someone trying to contact me on the client that is running in the virtual machine.  E-mail clients instant most (if not all) you do not have the client running actively against the same account on different machines (in my case, the host and the virtual machine).

  I tried to use a parameter "always on top" for window my client of instant messaging on my machine host, but that gets ignored when I go to the virtual machine.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Welcome to the VMware communities forum.

  The simplest solution to your problem is more likely to use the unit.

  From the top of my head, under the view menu, select unit instead of windowed or full-screen.

  This allows you to use applications in your host application as if they are part of your host operating system.

  Of course the applications are still part of your guest VM, but they appear as normal applications instead of in a new complete desktop environment.

  You must have VMware Tools installed in the comments to use it.

  Hope this helps,

• The host VMware workstation and multi-core CPU

  Apologies if this has already been answered, but all my research to turn questions about processors how can specify in a virtual machine. It's not what I'm after here.

  I want to know is the use of VMware workstation (v6 and v7) is available on a multi-core worksation host physical cores.

  I have a scenario where we have several virtual machines containing sensitive coding environments. The material that they are on is a little old and we don't have the time or the knowledge to recreate systems (a combination of Matlab, DSpace and some custom coding). Our only option (and we did it for a couple with success so far) is to create virtual machines of these workstations.

  Which is absolutely essential for us is the material we choose VMs on host. Virtual machines will use simple/double/processors virtual.

  In order to choose the correct hardware platform, I need to know if VMware workstation is running an instance of the virtual computer within a single processor (in this case is the reduced performace?), or if there are multithreaded and make the most of the hardware it will run on.

  (We are not welcome, never more 2 virtual machines at the same time)

  Any suggestions on material would be appreciated also. I think of something based around a core of Xeon 4-6 with 12-16 GB of RAM.

  Thank you very much

  Nick

  Correct, for laboratory/debugging and interaction VM Workstation is pretty good.

• How can access us the Client on a virtual machine on the host ESXi VI?

  Good afternoon, we are evaluating a virtualization solution, our company is small and we want only 3 servers to virtualize, and we want to use one of the virtual machines on the ESXi host, using the Client of VI, so we can use the keyboard and the screen of this server to access virtual machines. Our idea is to use this virtual machine as a workstation.

  Is this possible? or we use VMware server?

  Kind regards

  Cristian Fernández

  It is really not possible. Since the physical ESXi console, you will see only the menus and COS screens.
