  Hello, my saver

  Currently, I have an Esxi, but before I used a picture of WMware player to my virtual server and I know, I use Vsphere to work with my 5.1 ESsxi, I just want to know if I can use my VMware Player image in VSphere for Esxi? and if the answer is Yes, how?

  Thanks for your help.

  Right, so use VMware converter to do this as indicated in my previous post.

  Kind regards

• VMware Tools for ESXi not in running and not installed

  (nested) Tools of ESXi does not.

  I installed an ESXi 5.5 nested on a physical and installed 5.5 ESXi host tools on the virtual ESXi5.5.

  However both the client c# as the Web Client report not (not running, not installed) tools.

  When I type 'list of software esxcli vib', I see the esx-tools-for-esxi in the list.

  I have attached the vmware.log for the nested ESXi, I use nesting for several years only and had no problems.

  Thanks in advance

  You are hiding the fact that you run in a virtual machine, if the tools do not start.  Shut down the virtual computer, remove this line from your configuration file and restart:

  monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = true

• VMware Player for Windows Server 2003 x 64?

• VMware player 5 - connection in bridge problem

  Hi all!

  I am writing because I have a very big problem with the network bridged in Vmware player 5.0.2. No matter what I do it just would not work. NAT and host options only work very well and there is no problem with them. My NIC has vmware bridge Protocol, 'automatic connection settings' and "virtual network editor" is set on this particular card. The only thing I can think is firewall (Norton 360) that can block the connection but all of the vmware software components are allowed to work and NAT service works, so I don't know if this could be the case. I would be very grateful for any advice.

  I have attached the PDF with screenshots showing my configuration. 

  
  

  Norton PS options are in Polish, but they essentially say that Vmware is allowed and that inbound netBIOS' / netBIOS name "communication and communication incoming/outgoing ICMP is blocked.

  P.S in case of faults of vocabulary and that I'm sorry. p

  No, NIC in the host is virtualized / ripped off by the monitor of machine virtual and presented to the customer in a standard way - always cable.  It doesn't matter if the host is using wired or wireless.  Was just letting you know that you can use specific tools wireless in your guest on a virtual NETWORK adapter in this way.  The only way to get into a wireless client is to use a USB wireless adapter and attach that to the guest.  There will of course have to then the drivers for the USB NIC you use.

• Migration of VMware Server 2-> ESXi

  I agree that it is probably a FAQ - if it is, a big boost for the right page would be very helpful and appreciated. My google-fu is weak today.

  (At this time), I have a server to use for virtualization. He is currently running Win2k3 x 64 and VMware Server 2.0.

  After checking the assorted HCLs, I came to the realization that this thing will probably be ESXi which, as far as I know, will that make life easier and provide more resources to my VM customers. But before you start, I need clarification on a single piece: my clients VMware Server 2 must be migrated in some way?

  I can quite easily copy their directories on a Windows file server before the upgrade.

  After the upgrade, if:

  1. I can copy them on the ESXi Server? "Speak" windows network? Or do I I intend using a USB stick or something similar

  2. How to migrate or convert the VMware Server 2 offline customers to ESXi 3?

  Are there some best practices guides that would help?

  Kind regards

  Chris

  Yes. But with a limitation - ESX (i) does not support IDE HDDS in VM.

• Networking question in VMware Workstation / nested ESXi network configuration problem

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to set up a virtual lab, I setup a domain, a vcenter server and up to 1 ESXi host controller.

  I am really struggling with the network aspect in establishing a vmnic for storing shared, please see the attached screenshots and a few questions:

  1. Is a vmnic a real network map? or vmnic correspond to "network adapters" that you put in place since the setting of your virtual machine?

  I followed a tutorial and implement 3 NICs on the ESXi host, in Bridge mode, I tried this in my configuration of vmworkstation and I lose the connection to my server vcenter to the ESXi host.

  See screenshot attached to how I configured my ESXi host, screenshot is called 'screenshot2esxihost network', I run got each of the maps defined on NAT network.

  

  See also the screenshot of how I have my configuration of network settings in my VMWare Workstation, screenshot is called "screenshot1. the tutorial does not show how it has its editor of the virtual network configuration, but it puts its ESXi host NICs in BRIDGED mode, and I'm guessing that you can set this time within the virtual network adapter. If someone could tell me what changes should I make in there and on the network cards in my ESXi host, which would be really useful.

  

  My domain controller, server ESXi hosts and vcenter are currently on the 192.168.86 range, which currently stood at NAT

  See also a screenshot from the vsphere client - I don't see a vmnic "vmnic0", my goal is to be able to add a "vmnic2" for a separate storage network.

  

  any help would be received with gratitude, I VCP510 review at the end of the month and really hope to be able to get my lab setup as soon as possible.

  The vmnic is the rising 'physical' of an ESXi host. So with the 3 network cards that you configured for the host in VMware Workstation you will see under "Network adapters" and you can use them to vSwitches in the section "network".

• VMWare Player-Challenge with network installation to enable the work offline connection-thanks in advance for any help

  Thank you very much in advance for all advice here.

  My situation:

  Developer of novice using a laptop Windows 7 with Ubuntu Server on VMWare Player.

  Customer need and server side development progress on the computer laptop while at home and outside (travel, sometimes without internet/Wi-Fi connection)

  I tried NAT, Bridged, Host-only, and can't seem to find an approach that works offline...

  More details below...

  My question

  How to configure the network to use VMWare player for development while home/away (PCI offline without an internet connection)?

  Thanks again

  Tony

  Other details

  My laptop runs Win7, I use Google Chrome, PuTTY, WinSCP client-side

  My hardware router has an IP address 192.168.0.1

  My VMware - Server Ubuntu - is configured to use the DHCP protocol

  Online I mean a wireless connection to the router and the internet

  Offline - I mean wireless internet connection/no

  Networking networking

  Works ok online. Does not work in offline mode

  When online, I get IP 192.168.0.7 ifconfig in vmware... I can ping the router from the virtual machine and ping the server ubuntu from the command-line to Win7

  Offline... Ping from VM to the router and Ping from Win7 to VM fail.

  NAT networking

  Does not work online or offline

  When 'online' I get IP 192.168.91.128 to ifconfig in VMware, I can ping the router hardware virtual machine ok. When I ping the server ubuntu command line of Win 7 I Request Timed Out

  In offline mode, I get the same IP 192.168.91.128 to ifconfig in the virtual machine. I can't ping the virtual machine hardware router... Destination Host Unreachable. When I ping the server ubuntu command line of Win 7 I have inaccessible Destination host

  Host-Only

  does not work for me either online of offline...

  While online, that is to say that I can get the IP... 192 168 110 128 but the virtual machine can't ping router... Network unreachable. Win7 cannot ping server... Request Timed Out

  While offline, I get the same address IP 192 168 110 128, but VM is unable to ping router network unreachable. Win7 cannot ping server... Destination Host Unreachable

  On the screenshot-VMnet1 as VMnet8 - have APIPA (assigned automatically free private) IP addresses, which should not be the case. Unfortunately I can't tell you what is the cause! Could be something of a facility fails to a VPN client. What you can do, is click on the 'Restore defaults' button in the editor of virtual network or re - install VMware Player (uninstall, reboot the host and reinstall "as Administrator").

  If you have access to the virtual network editor depends on the VMware Player version you are using. With some older versions - which had the "vmnetui.dll" in the installation folder - it was possible to start to operate:

  rundll32.exe vmnetui.dll VMNetUI_ShowStandalone

• A license for VMWare Player?

  I saw the deal for VMWare Fusion for Mac includes a commercial license for VMWare player, so I was wondering, if I buy VMWare Fusion can I use the VMWare Player on my Windows machine license or is there a better way for me to get a commercial version of VMWare player without having to actually buy VMWare Workstation?

  lzrelak wrote: I saw the deal for VMWare Fusion for Mac includes a commercial license for VMWare player

  No, VMware Fusion for Mac does not include a license for VMware Player it's VMware Fusion 5 Professional, which includes the license for VMware Player for commercial use.

  so I was wondering, if I buy VMWare Fusion can I use the VMWare Player license on my Windows machine

  With VMware Fusion 5 professional, Yes

  is there a better way for me to get a commercial version of VMWare player without having to actually buy VMWare Workstation?

  To use VMware Player commercially, buy VMware Fusion 5 license Professional even one chooses or can even use VMware Fusion 5 Professional.  It comes through a convoluted cross-license that VMware has not done a very poor job of marketing and or explain and caused a lot of confusion among some users trying to interpret.

• VMWare Player license for police headquarters

  Community in the morning,

  My question is: am I allowed to use VMWare Player for free in a headquarters of the German police or ist also "commercial use"?

  Thanks for your replies

  Hans

  Hello Hans,.

  It's actually a tough question, because the common phrase "for no commercial use" is rather vague and does not really respond when it's really a commercial use. In the FAQ of player, they use the term: "VMware Player is free for personal use."

  So I would read, if you use in your office on your desktop pc, it is not really a personal use, even you generate profits using.

  I don't know if this is the appropriate contact, but you can try to contact VMware directly and ask them. There is a branch in Germany.

  It's the public sector team mailing address is: [email protected]

• VMWare Player, NAT and firewall

  Hello

  I'm running VMWare Player 7.1.2 with Windows 8.1 as host and Debian Linux as a target.  I want to run the network card in NAT mode for the isolation it provides to Linux.  I have tightened my windows machines and thus, set windows firewall to block all outbound connections except those covered by specific rules.  When I turn this firewall does not block OFF, NAT network works fine, when I turn it on, NAT does not work.  I tried to add each firewall rule, that I can think of, such as the possibility of vmnat, VMnetDHCP and vmware-authd, as a program and a service.  The rules, which I configured include all ports and protocols.  No rule allows traffic NAT of VMWare Player.

  Thoughts?

  OK, I found a solution.

  First of all, I would say that I use the Windows Firewall, not McAfee etc.

  The crux of the problem is that there are two instances of vmnat.exe on my machine.  The first is in the VMWare Player folder (as I predicted), and the second is in \Windows\SysWOW64.

  * Opening a rule for the program in VMWare Player, for all services, does not work.

  Opening of rule for Windows (which is defined as the SysWOW64 version) services, for all programs, does not work.

  * However, the opening of a rule for the program in SysWOW64, for all services, works.

  It's weird, because the player is definitely using Windows services, because it if you stop, the machine virtual loose connectivity, but create a firewall rule for the Department is insufficient.  Instead, I have to define a rule based on the programs and point to the exe file that is managed by the service.  No other firewall rule is necessary.

  I do not fully understand, but it's the solution to my problem.

• VMware Tools missing in the Installation of VMware Player 7

  Hi all

  If I try to install/upgrade to update VMware Tools after the Installation of VMware Player 7 no ISO will be connected to the virtual machine.

  I checked the directory of Installation of VMware Player for the ISOs of the tools but no ISOs are there.

  Can you help me out of this Situation or is it a missing element in the installer?

  Thank you

  Michael

  I just downloaded VMware-player - 7.0.0 - 2305329.exe and installed under Windows 7 x 64 and had no problems with it automatically detect installed VMware Tools to the guest operating system to be downloaded and successfully downloaded.  Having said that, have you tried? : Player > file > Preferences... > download now all components

  Maybe something is blocking you to download the VMware tools.

  You could also do it manually by using the following tools from VMware for VMware Player 7.0.0.

  • Tools-freebsd - 9.9.0.exe.tar
  • Tools-linux - 9.9.0.exe.tar
  • Tools-netware - 9.9.0.exe.tar
  • Tools-solaris - 9.9.0.exe.tar
  • Tools-winPre2k - 9.9.0.exe.tar
  • tools-windows - 9.9.0.exe.tar

  Unzip the file, then run the executable result and it will silently install the file without any indication that he actually did like this isn't really so planned how to do even if it works!

• Cannot install VMWare Player

  I decided to dip my toe in the water and go try VMWare Player, but I seem to have encountered a small problem of EEG. I downloaded the file .bundle (version 5.0.2) and when I try to launch it I get the message Windows cannot open the file and guests for me to find a program to open the file with.

  I'm under that Windows 7 Professional 64 bit if that can help.

  Thanks in advance people.

  Hello, welcome to communities

  the .bundle is setup for Linux.

  You need to download the Windows Installer, which is a .exe

  Find it here: download VMware Player 5

  And choose VMware Player for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit

• VMware Player keyboard mapping problem

  Hello

  I use VMware Player on an ASUS laptop with windows 8, and when I open the VMware Player for windows server 2008 R2 I have a problem with the keyboard mapping, for example:

  u > 4
  I have-> 5
  o > 6
  p > *.
  j > 1
  k > 2
  l > 3

  If I hit the key VMware player poster 4 u.

  Can you help me solve this problem?

  I really appreciate your help.

  Post edited by: wila, changed 'keyword' in "keyboard" to make more people understand the problem in reading the title of the topic.

  @abirhasan, how is this going "look at what's new" to help him? What I see out there, there is not a known issue?

  @javier, I guess you know that on an asus these keymappings means that the keypad is enabled via numlock?

  It is most likely going to be enabled/disabled via holding the fn key and another key...

  Basically this problem:

  The question now is if your asus laptop has a num lock key to change this? (It is more likely, the problem is that it is)

• WIN8 WP8 SDK + vmware player: I can't start any VMs

  Hi all, today I used vmware player for 3-4 virtual machines with different operating systems for testing my application on my PC, but now, when I try to start each VM I get this error.

  

  It all began when I installed visual studio 2012 and the kit of development Windows Phone 8, asking to add the role hyper-V for windows 8.

  So, I need two things in the VMs, Visual studio SDK WP8.
  How can I do?
  Thank you all.

  Drive does not well under Hyper-V.  If you only need 32-bit virtual machines, you can bypass this warning with the following configuration option:

  vmx.allowNested = TRUE

  Alternatively, you can use all your virtual machines, if you remove the role Hyper-V to your host and install Windows 8 and Hyper-V in a virtual machine under player (select Hyper-V as the guest OS type).

  Whatever it is, nested virtual machines performance will be worse than what you are used to, but nested VMs probably better work with reader as the hypervisor host with Hyper-V, the hypervisor of the host.
