MainMem.useNamedFile is available in Linux Workstation 7.0.1?

I'm trying to optimize the performance of the virtual computer.  I found a suggestion to move vmem file in RAM virtual machine by placing it in / tmp, with / tmp defined as tmpfs.  It's supposed to be accomplished in part by adding the mainMem.useNamedFile = false option to vmx file to the virtual machine.  I did it, but he seems to have no effect.  The vmem file does not move in / tmp, he remains in the directory of virtual machine data.

Where my question.  This option is no longer available?

I use Linux Workstation 7.0.1 build 227600.

I saw this formatted option in many ways.  I tried all the:

mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

mainMem.useNamedFile = "false".

mainMem.useNamedFile = false

I tried the option in vmx file both the virtual machine and/etc/vmware/config.

Thank you

Dave

Nope

forget all the advice of setting to workstations earlier - they do more work for Linux and WS 7

the parameter

mainmem.useNamedFile is only used on Windows

The new parameters for Linux are:

mainmem.backing = 'swap '.

It only works on 64-bit Linux hosts and produces a similar behavior on Windows hosts with mainmem.useNamedFile = "false".

This parameter can result in improved performance for the unique virtual machines - but it has the disadvantage that you can run as many virtual machines at the same time because without it!

mainmem.backing = 'name '.

This example uses a mainmem file in the same directory as the vmx file

This is equivalent to mainmem.useNamedFile = 'true' used with older versions on Linux hosts

mainmem.backing = "no name".

This example uses a mainmem file in / tmp

This is equivalent to mainmem.useNamedFile = 'false' used with older versions on Linux hosts

Also read http://sanbarrow.com/vmx/vmx-advanced.html#mainmem

These settings should work inside a vmx for the special VM file only - or in the global configuration file for all virtual machines

As far as I know do not set this parameter uses the default value

mainmem.backing = 'name '.

    It looks like a double post of the forum OBISE.

    Anyway, the area of OBIEE Client tools available only on Windows OS. Catalog Manager does not come with the commissioning customer.

    Several order lines are availalble in the catalogue on Linux. Look under the following location on your installation, C:\oracle\fmw\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\catalogmanager

    There should be a file .sh or. sh.tmplt file that will allow you to run some CLI commands for the Catalog Manager.

    I have not tried this on Linux, but using the equivalent .cmd file from this location on a system operating Windows works fine.

  • Linux workstation cannot install Windows 7 11 comments

    I am trying to install a Windows 7 client running on the workstation Linux 11.

  • New Win 7 install on the old Linux workstation

    I have a workstation with a 250 GB drive and a RAID array 0, consisting of two 1 TB drives.  I have a RAID controller in the BiOS.  I change the machine from Ubuntu to Win7.  I heard "bad things" on Win7 and RAID if it is not done correctly.  I want to assure you that the RAID array is recognized by Win7 when I reformat the 250 GB drive (which will become the c: / drive) before hose anything.  Seems that Win7 will recognize the setup of the BiOS RAID as the "D: / Drive"-who is in good health and recognized as good during the boot process (F10 to display the RAID) and using the dmraid Linux daemon.  The table is currently used to contain a large number of data files.  Please advise... the last time I did something with Windows to install Windows for 3.11 of working groups.  Best regards, Dave

  • Flash Player indicates that my version is obsolete, but I installed the latest version available for linux 64 bits.

    Sorry, your computer does not have the latest version of Flash Player installed.

    Please proceed to step 2. (Your last version11.2.202.577 Version21.0.0.182)

    Then, after following the instructions for step 2:

    NOTE: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version of target Linux as a supported platform. Adobe will continue to provide backports of security Flash Player 11.2 for Linux.

    Version 11.2.202.577


    In my opinion, Flash Player does not make that my version is obsolete, when I have the latest being available for my platform.

    Hello

    I doubt that web sites use the widget 'Check now' to check the latest version of Flash Player.  Content providers more to define their content to use a specific version of Flash, especially if this version contains some features that they use in their game/application, not necessarily the most recent version.  One option is to use Google Chrome which incorporates Flash Player and use the latest major version (21).  PPAPI plugin is also supported on Ubuntu for Chrome browsers (Opera, for example).  If you use Ubuntu and are not opposed to the opera, it is another option.

  • 11 Linux workstation cannot start the VM because/dev/vmmon error

    When you start a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 11 for Fedora 21 I receive the following errors:

  • Maximum simultaneous tasks available under Linux.

    I used the converter for a few weeks now.  I would like to be able to set up a queue of tasks to have the converter to start now.  However, I'm unable to change the maximum number of virtual guests on a linux vmware converter standalone installation.

    When the demon of converter is linux on a machine, I connect via another machine with the customer installed linux or a windows with the client box is installed.  When I select the Administration, simultaneous tasks Maximum is not available.  The same result occurs when I connect from the client linux for itself (localhost).  However when I connect to the converter of windows server, the "Maximum simultaneous tasks" option is available.

    Does anyone know how to set this option for vmware converter for linux server?  I tried editing /etc/vmware-converter/converter-agent.xml and /etc/vmware-converter/converter-server.xml and replace the parameter of vmacore - & gt; threadPool - & gt; TaskMax 40-to-1.  The result being that the client could not connect or demon is deceased early solange, respectively.

    Go to a command line, and then run the following as root.  Root is the only one who has permissions to modify the file that contains the number of concurrent tasks.

    /usr/lib/VMware-vCenter-converter-standalone/bin/VMware-Converter-client

    You can then change the number of concurrent tasks.

  • Have we not available under linux admintool

    Hello Experts,

    I know that Admin Tool is not available in GUI version in linux.

    I am lookin for is to implement something like this
    http://obieeblog.WordPress.com/2009/08/04/simplifying-migration-process-%E2%80%93-changing-environment-specific-variables-in-RPD/
    in linux.

    Can someone tell how to do it?

    To summarize:
    1. open SPR under linux using scripts
    2 change the name of user and password of RPD and Connection Pool
    3. close the RPD and deploy it in the location of your choice.

    Help, please

    There is no available Linux admintool.

    use of the nqudml utilities is your only option, and yes - I must be UDML

    the only way to get an encrypted password is pre encrypt it in the Administration (Windows) tool, export it to UDML and make a list of passwords encrypted/plaintest to use.

  • Expand the space available for Linux OS

    I cloned a VM from a template.

    The model had a single 40 GB of virtual disk.

    The model had a directory/tmp is 5 GB size

    I went in vsphere client and made the 100 GB of virtual disk.  There is always a single virtual disk

    After commissioning, the directory/tmp is still 5 GB in size.

    DF h shows still all original directories according to their original format.

    Should what steps I take for on the partition, volume, file system, etc. to enable the directory/tmp 50 GB?

    File system is ext4 and OS Centos 6

    Thank you!

    If you use LVM, take a look here: VMware KB: extension of a logical volume in a virtual machine running Red Hat or Cent OS

    Note: some times, for Linux OS, restart the virtual machine is necessary due to a bug in fdisk.

  • ktab command is available in linux jdk?

    As the title, and I couldn't find it.

    Your answer is a little rough, knowing that ktab.exe is distributed with the JDK:

    Rude not at all. The executable that you mention, "ktab.exe" is distributed only with a windows JDK. And even if this utility is distributed with the JDK for windows that I said is true:

    Key kerberos (ktab) table Manager is an OS executable. It has nothing to do with Java.

    You don't seem to be bothered by the fact that your answer is misleading:

    So I think it's a relevant question, but the OP find the answer himself:

    What you posted shows NOTHING on 'ktab' and Linux.

    Under Linux, you use the utility "kadmin" which is part of the operating system. Kerberos is NOT specific to Java. There are many differences in operating system between Linux and Windows utilities. You cannot use windows EXEs under Linux, this is why the issue of PAHO made no sense.

  • Change the network interface of the CLI on work/Linux Workstation 6.5?

    Greetings. vmrun seems to be able to do a lot of things on a virtual machine, but one of them is not to change the parameters of the network interface. Am I missing something? Is there a different CLI that allows me to do this?

    writeVariable and readVariable vmrun can be used to edit the VMX settings. Use the runtimeConfig parameter, and then name value pair. Not kept in the VMX file, but replaces the values stored there. Not to a Linux machine and could not test but should work if the value is stored in VMX.

  • Can not find Workstation 11 documents that specify host for Linux operating system support

    I had all the versions of the workstation since version 3 or 4, and in all cases, Workstation ran on a Linux OS support.  For now, I have both Debian and Red Hat Linux workstations and prefer to stay with Red Hat for my work of VMware Workstation. However I find no actual docs for workstation 11 who tell me what rev of Red Hat Linux is supported. Also, I don't see the real support as available contracts more. Once upon a time, you could buy support workstation. I already have systems of vSphere 5.5 to work and they have full support, but I can't support 7 x 24 production on my computer it seems. in any case, what is the actual supported Red Hat Linux tricks? 6.6 worm or am I stuck goes Red Hat 7?

    Thanks to anyone who really knows.

    response to me here:

    After a bunch of research, I get to a page that tells me to get the compatibility guide:

    VMware Workstation 11 Documentation Centre

    Who gets finally me:

    http://www.VMware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php

    Which is useless for workstation because it lists only the products of ESXi.

    Always to research... and I get this:

    http://www.VMware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=software

    Nope... It does not help... I select "Host OS" and is told to go elsewhere:

    The host operating system compatibility information has been moved to the following location:


    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2100429


    Host operating system support information (2100429)

    Goal

    Supported host operating system data are removed from the Compatibility Guide VMware (VCG) to other articles of the basis of knowledge (KBs).
    This article KB then told me to go somewhere else to:

    Operating systems supported for VMware Workstation guests (2088579)

    your da!
    The answer is that 11 workstations is supported on some types of Linux and the most notable are:
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 (note: 7 RHEL is horrible)
    The answer is therefore a flat NO WAY for Debian or one of its close brothers.  Strictly big business Linux here.
    Nice hide details in seventeen deep research.
  • Workstation 10 (on Linux at least) ALWAYS resets Windows VM in full screen

    I can't be the only one with experience in the list?

    I have Windows 8 on a virtual machine (works pretty well actually) and if I put the machine to "sleep" within the virtual machine, - or - if I suspend the machine since the homescreen Workstation 10, - or - I closed and power later on the guest virtual computer is not serious... He always goes out of the mode in FULL SCREEN mode... EACH-AND-EVERY TIME!

    I tried looking for a setting that makes this "forced full screen" on every event that triggers it, but can't find anything of what is obvious that will disable the desired 10 Workstation always change mode window in FULL SCREEN.

    It's REALLY annoying. SUPER boring. It causes several problems, like hide the host menu/panels. And sometimes put the comments in all its States with resizing comments office space again and again for 10 to 30 seconds (more large, smaller, lager, smaller, larger, smaller) - normally he eventually figures after two or three loops of what size to use and stops, but sometimes (rarely), I time clicking on window workstation 10 host JUST good to stop it.

    WHY am I the only one to have pointed out this problem? I tried to search around and it's maybe one question of Linux. But that's apparently a hard-coded decision to reset FULL screen on a step or an operation of RECOVERY for Linux Workstation 10. It's really stupid NOT to have this as an option that can be changed. With the exception of this problem, Workstation 10 works perfectly and has improvements over the previous version I was using.

    Please tell me that I'm not the only user of Linux know about this?

    Hello, I have this, fought running Workstation 10 on 20 of Fedora.  If you examine the .vmx file in the directory of the virtual machine, you will see (probable) two entries resembling the following.

    gui.lastPoweredViewMode = "full screen".

    gui.viewModeAtPowerOn = "full screen".

    I solved the problem by following these steps:

    • Comments from suspend/Shutdown
    • Close the workstation
    • Edit the .vmx for the specific virtual machine file and delete the above two lines
    • Restart the workstation
    • Resume/power reviews

    Should work.  It will be useful.

  • using the VMware workstation 100% disc

    Hi all

    I have amd multi-purpose 8350 with 12 GB of ram and 1 TB hard drive (no ssd). I created a few 10 vms and when I try to start few of them suddenly disk use increases to 100%. I turn them all at the same time, I give some time between each vm poweron. Always the same problem occurs. In addition, even after some time, after activating my vms, same problem occurs. on my windows host computer, the use of the disc is 100% most of the time. because of this my vmware workstation crashes and I am not able to do anything. I have to wait until the use of the disc is free again. I disabled windows search on my host machine, but no luck.

    I added the lines on all my machines virtual vmx files but no use.


    MemTrimRate = '0 '.

    mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

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

    prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.


    Can someone help me out here?


    Thank you

    Hi Shawn,

    Thank you for your response...

    At start-up, if it's slow, it's fine. But it happens all of a sudden, even when I'm working. When it freezes, I can't do anything. Just count numbers to kill some time... I have to wait until he's back to normal and I donno when it happens.

    While I was looking on the internet, someone posted on an Internet site that disabling superfetch-bit, and windows update services can reduce disk performance. I'm 100% sure they are stopped on my windows host computer. So, I disabled the. But I was really surprised to see the performance of disk after I disabled the services. Now, I have a lag for a few seconds and that occurs only when I start the vms system. After that they are running no problem at all. I donno why a stopped service would cause such an impact. Subsequently, if I do not have a service, I turn it off, turn it off.

    Finally, after you turn off the 3 services, I have no problem.

    Thank you

    Chaitanya.
