• Virtual MACHINE created on VMWare Workstation for Windows - move to VMWare Workstation for Linux?

  I have a bunch of VMs that I built using VMWare Workstation for Windows running on a Win2003 Server 7.1.3. The virtual machine is running Windows XP sp3. Can I move these Ubuntu VM to run under VMWare for Linux, if I buy a license for the current version or any version?

  Thank you

  Yes, but with some reservations.  Of course, Windows and Linux use different ways to represent the paths and devices so a few changes to the virtual machine may be necessary.  All that is hard coded in the configuration file .vmx depicting the paths of type Windows and device names must be changed by the GUI settings or manually edit the .vmx config file.  In addition any virtual machine containing snapshots where the parentFileNameHint in the DescriptorFile of disc, so drowned in a monolithicSparse or the first measure not binary snapshot virtual hard drive, which uses a QPF (fully qualified path name), it will have to be changed.  If you are unsure how to do this then I suggest a delete all snapshots before moving on to another system.

  A Windows VM that fall under the WPA will in all likelihood have to be reactivated if the host CPU are not in the same class.

  If you copy a Windows VM for the delivery of a copy on the source system, that you must have and or get the appropriate number of licenses and or product keys for the copy number you keep.

• Can I run a machine virtual de VMware Fusion, VMware Server 2?

  I looked at a bunch of documentation confusing but couldn't find a clear overview of what VMware Server 2 does in fact.

  I hope that I can take the virtual machines that I've created with VMware Fusion and download them on VMware Server 2 on a server somewhere and run it from there.

  Is this possible?   Is there any clear, simple documentation that indicates how to proceed?

  Thanks for any information you can give me!

  Hello

  If you run the virtual machine in fusion directly in vmware server, these are the steps to follow:

  (1) find out where are the fusion virtual machine files.

  (2) stop & remove merge (do not remove fisically hd!) virtual machine.

  (3) copy files of the virtual machine of fusion to the vmware server host (with the .vmx file and the hard should be enough) in the directory you designate as data store for vm vmware server files in the installation of vmware server.

  (4) use the "adding a virtual machine to inventory" to navigate to the file .vmx of the virtual machine that you copied before

  (5) the machine running and try. (if a question arises, you say that you copied the VM).

  Maybe you should do some additional steps as reconfigure it the virtual machine under vmware virtual network install, but there are minor and easy changes.

  Here is some information about the files that make up a virtual computer: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_learning_files_in_a_vm.html

• A machine virtual de VMware player can be saved on an external HDD for backup?

  Please allow me to set up the scene: I have a shadow PC from my main system on VMware Player

  I try an update on my 1st VM player. The update for my distro of choice borks the system, or at least a very important application. My corrections to the application can do worse things & this my system borks. I then delete the virtual machine.

  Now after this deletion, I do a reinstall Virtual complete. Then wait and see if a fix is coming in the next update.

  If I copy/home/username/vmware/opensuse to an external USB HARD drive.

  Is it possible after deleting a virtual machine in the drive to go to my USB and pick up my copy of opensuse in/home/username/vmware/and have it function like the old?

  Hey there,

  You can stop to the bottom of the virtual machine, copy the VM on your external HARD drive and be prepared to restore it if it breaks.

  If this post was useful/solved your problem, please mark the points of wire and price as seem you. Thank you!

• Old PITA bread - change the MAC address in VMware Workstation 6.5?

  Some versions of VMware Workstation enabled to manually set the MAC address of the virtual card.

  This possibility has been changed for several reasons.

  My personal opinion is clear.  A virtual machine needs to reflect as much as possible a hardware machine.

  VMware Workstation you can not change the MAC address, or you are related to a limited possibility, were the first hex addresses are fixed,

  so that it shows on the outside, it is a virtual machine.  VMware response is, you must run the server edition.  Well...

  Currently, I have seen, that the recent version of Virtual Box allows you to manually enter the MAC address

  for the virtual Interfaces based on Intel NIC. You can enter any MAC address, including existing material, NIC Intel MAC.

  So my opinion, the possibility of lock-out to COMPLETELY change the mac address of the virtual machine,

  must be activated again for all versions of VMware, as it is the option with other software.

  HM?  As far as I know, we have not added any restrictions.  We do not provide a user interface for it, but manually modifying the .vmx file and change ethernet0.addressType and ethernet0.address to a MAC from another provider address seem to work for me.

  I don't think the static MAC addresses are actually limited to the 00:50:56 range.

• Move the VM from VMWare workstation 7.1 for ESX 4

  I have a virtual machine created in VMWare workstation 7.1 (Machine virtual Version 7) and have copied to the data store on a host ESX 4 Update 1

  I don't know why I still need to re - import the virtual machine with vmkfstools-i source/destination before it will boot as ESX 4U1...

  Can someone shed some light on this?

  Hello

  Have you tried using the Workstation 7 export feature?

  By using this feature, you can create a consistent ESX VM or a virtual appliance which you would then be able to reload on your ESX.

  In VMware Workstation, click file-> import / export

  For the Source, you must select the Type of source: 'others '.

  then, you look up your VM's vmx file.

  Once in the destination Type, select VM Infrastructure VMware or Virtual appliance.

  If you select VMware Infrastructure, it will ask you your server address VCenter or ESX + credentials and it will load it automatically.

  If you select Virtual appliance, you will be able to create an OVA or file OVF that you can use to create a new virtual machine based on this device in VClient.

• VMWare Workstation VM on ESXi 4

  It is possible to launch a virtual machine created in VMWare workstation on VMWare ESXi 4.0, I copied the vm on the data store directory and add to the inventory and everithnk seems ok until the end of the process, when unknown apper (invalid) in the name of the virtual machine, the virtual machine is Ok, acctually runs in another computer.

  ¿It is possible that the copy process fails because the virtual machine was running when I copy?

  Also, anyone know if it is possible manage usb to add vm to the datasourse direcctly in the Esxi server, the conecction network is too slow for some vm.

  It is possible

  You need to convert it with VMware converter available on the Download Center here http://downloads.vmware.com/d/info/datacenter_downloads/vmware_vcenter_converter_standalone/4_0

  Wil you must do a V2V conversion

  Hope this helps

• Cannot open a Workstation 6 image, last used in Workstation 6.5, now in VMware Workstation 6

  I have a Virtual Machine that:

  1. Was created in Workstation 6

  2. This Workstation 6 has been upgraded to Workstation 6.5

  3. I used the virtual machine for several weeks under Workstation 6.5, but

  4. The virtual machine is identified as a vm Workstation 6.0 on his 'home page' under Workstation 6.5.

  Now, I copied the VM to a different Workstation 6 machine still running.  When I try to open the virtual machine in Workstation 6 image, I get a pop-up error message saying:

  [

  VMware Workstation

  Could not open the machine virtual e:\vmware-images\oscar\oscar.vmx.  It is a VM Workstation ACE Edition.  Please open it in VMware Player.

  ]

  Again, so it's a vm workstation 6, used last in the 6.5 workstation and now moved to a host workstation 6.  So, how can I use it and run it?

  Thank you.

  Downgrade the VM in WS 6.5 (update or change the version).

  Also, make sure that the copied disk is intact by comapring checksums.

• How to move the Virtual Machine VMWare Workstation 10 to a completely different computer

  I have a laptop that is going to become my 'old' laptop, I bought and am always set up a new computer.

  I have a VM THAT evolution created on the 'old' portable using VMWare Workstation 10.  I installed the software VMWare Workstation 10 on the new laptop computer and am ready to move to the existing VM development since the old laptop again to continue the development of software on the virtual machine to the new machine.

  I never moved a computer virtual from one computer to another, and I guess that all I have to do is to copy and move the folder and all its content from the old laptop to the new, and then I'll be back in business?

  Just make sure it is this simple before doing so.

  Thanks for any input.

  It's as simple as that. When you start in the new machine, it should ask if you copied or moved. Answer that you moved it will keep the same MAC address and you will not be able to connect the two copies at the same time. You copied it saying assigns a new MAC and they both can connect, but a Windows machine can ask to reactivate. Seems to me he asked also to reactivate when I copied it for an Intel system AMD system, but it was a long time ago

• Is it possible to open a VMWare Workstation virtual machine, VMWare Fusion?

  Hi all

  I recently moved to a MacBook Pro and have installed VMWare Fusion.

  I searched the forums but cannot find an answer to the question (or maybe I did not only hit the right keywords).

  My question is this...  Is it possible to open a virtual machine that I created in VMWare Workstation, VMWare Fusion?

  Thank you

  Dan.

  Do not.  Just copy the folder FULL of computer workstation computer merger.  In Fusion, select "Open an existing Virtual Machine" and find the folder that you copied and select the .vmx file.  No stupid masking the content of the file making it appear to the user unaware that the entire virtual machine is a big don't file this way.

• VMWare Workstation - movement of virtual machines

  I created a virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 6.5.1 on an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU PC processor. My intention is to put this VM on a USB hard drive and then use it on the other 2 work stations, which are all two Core 2 Duo CPU.  All 3 hosts are running 64-bit Vista Ultimate. The guest for this virtual machine operating system is also 64-bit Vista Ultimate.

  I copied the files on the computer, virtual on a USB drive and then plugged into one of my workstations. I selected the file & gt; Open and open the virtual machine. Everything seemed good, so I turned on the virtual machine. When I did, I got an error screen that says:

  "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. »

  "Leadership: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe.

  «Info: attempt to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not compatible with the 64-bit mode.»

  I mounted my Vista install DVD iso and started for her, but even the installer wouldn't start. The error seems to make no sense as the Core2 Duo is a 64-bit processor and the host is running a 64-bit operating system. The only thing I can think is that the virtual machine was originally created on an Intel Core 2 Quad processor, and that causes a problem when trying to open with a Core 2 Duo.

  Any suggestions?

  Check the BIOS of the machine with problems - perhaps VT extensions are not enabled.

  If you do a switch do a boot cold - unplug power for 10 seconds the change

• VMware virtual disk on the Mac desktop

  Is it possible to have the VMware fusion virtual disk appears as a hard drive on your mac desktop, so you can browse the files of the virtual disk of the Mac operating system?

  I connect to the shared Windows resources on both physical and virtual machines from my Mac and it is immaterial that the target physical or virtual as the same rules and or methods apply and as I said before it is covered in the two operating systems help files and this isn't really a matter of the merger itself.

  Information out there in the OS X help file: Finder (menu bar) > help > Mac Help > Index > S > file sharing

  Finder (menu bar) > go > connect to server...

  Type the network address of the computer in the address text box of the server using one of these formats:

  SMB://computer_name/Share_Name

  SMB://ip_address/Share_Name

• I have a problem starting up a Windows XP Pro Machine virtual Windows 8 host system (which has VMware Workstation 10.1).

  I am new to the virtual machines.  For several months I've been running a Windows XP Virtual Machine in an old machine of Windows 7 with VMware Workstation 7.0.  The hard drive is having some problems at times, so I thought that I could move the virtual machine on a new computer that has an OS 8.1 Windows and VMware Workstation 10.  For example, on the Windows 7 machine, I copied the directory with all the * .vm files and pasted into the machine to Windows 8. But when I tried to start VMware Workstation 10 in Windows 8 machine, I got the message "this virtual machine policies are too old to be run by this version of VMware."  I went to the knowledge base and used the solution described here: I've deleted the lines of three 'policy' of the .vmx file and added the suffix .ancien to the .vmpl file, which actually disabled.  Now, when I try to start the virtual machine, the black screen appears with the VMware logo in the Center and everything seems fine, but Windows XP starts.  And logo VMware guard churning away as in a continuous loop.  It is not easy to stop.  The only way to stop VMware is via the Task Manager or restart the machine.

  What must I do to get the Windows XP Pro VM to run in the new machine?

  VMWare technical support suggested that I have disable 3D acceleration (VM > settings > view and uncheck the box 3D graphics acceleration).  The virtual machine starts now with some minor problems, but it is usable.  But by closing accel 3D turns, in the words of the Technical Support Engineer, David, that there is "a problem with the graphics card not imitate or through its capacity to the virtual machine.  In other words do not support to the VM guest 3D acceleration. "My next step is to make sure that I have the updated driver for the Intel HD Graphics 4600 display adapter.

  Minor problems are:

  (1) the virtual machine works best in screen mode reduced.  There are a few problems speed mode full-screen.

  (2) the VM will still work after switching on of the host.  But after execution of the virtual machine, if power you the virtual machine and the release of VMware workstation, then later, start the workstation, the virtual machine will power not.

  To turn it on again you must out of VMware Workstation, disconnect the host machine and then reopen it in one.
