• 10 comments VM Windows will need to be recreated when moving to El Capitan Yosemite in the host operating system?

  I have 8 Fusion installed on Yosemite. I have a guest VM Windows 10 and works well. When I install El Capitan, do I have to recreate the Windows 10 VM guest or it should run with El Capitan as the host operating system? Thank you!

  Hello

  Upgrade to El Capitan shouldn't matter to your guest operating system, it must continue to operate as is.

  However, DO NOT wipe your drive on the update as then it might erase your VM.

  So best thing - as always - is to make a backup of your VM - with the virtual machine closed down and merge not running - before the upgrade to El Capitan.

• How to use the host operating system

  According to best practices, how he the host operating system should be used. Applications must be installed on the HOS or it must be installed in HOS and GOS be left to access the application in the virtual machine.

  I would like to create two virtualized partitions

  (1) HOS

  (2) GOS 1

  (3) GOS 2

  So I would like to know if any heavy application must be installed in HOS.

  Keep all the stuff on the guest has some advantages

  -You can run it anywhere where you have a VMWare host. This gives you great flexibility.

  -You can create easy backups, no need to set up the entire operating system again and again and install all applications again and again.

  -You can easily freeze the State of operational guest before making any changes (see before).

  -Depending on your environment, you become what some independent business strategies.

• Is it possible I can get the virtual computer connectivity after restart to connect to the local network in the host operating system?

  Hi all

  For some reason, I have to disable and then enable the LAN connection in the host operating system. If some virtual machines are running during this time, connectivity all VMs for out-of-world are lost, they cannot connect to the host even more (by running the ping command). I tried a few methods to retrieve the connectivity, but all have failed, for example,

  1. reboot the virtual computer

  2. restart VMware Workstation

  3. restart the corresponding system services in the host operating system

  The only way I can retrieve all is to restart the host operating system itself.

  Yes, is there short any path, I can retrieve the connectivity of these virtual machines?

  Thanks in advance.

  Try installing a newer driver.  According to the site, you should be able to find a driver dated 2008 or 2007 (depending on which exact model of NetLink card you have):

  Sometimes out of some firewall programs is not enough (they keep still themselves installed in the network of the host stack, even if they are 'closed').  You may need to uninstall to make sure that it is not interfere.  (Search the forums for support for your firewall software see if anyone else is having problems with vmware and 360 safe guard).

• How have the guest OS disk cleaning disc space come on for the host operating system hard drive?

  People,

  Hello. I use VM Player 3. The OS is Windows 7. Guset OS is Windows Server 2003.

  Because the host OS Windows 7 C drive is nearly full, I need disk cleanup for drive space in Guset OS Windows Server 2003.

  Guest OS Windows Server 2003 VM hard drive parameters:

  Size current 92.5 GB,

  Maximum size of 150 GB.

  I use Disk Cleanup tool to clean C:\Document and Settings\Temp\ and temporary Internet Files\ administrator to get 32 GB of disk space. Now my computer in Windows Server 2003:

  Used space: 59.2 GB

  86.2 GB of free space

  145GB total space

  But when I check again Windows Server 2003 VM hard drive settings, its current size is 92.5 GB and is not afraid to 59.2 GB after cleaning. Host operating system Windows 7 disc does not come more disk space after cleaning.

  My Player VM VM-> settings is not a function of "Shrink" and the program does not "vmware - vdiskmanager.exe" file to run the function of 'shrink '.

  My question is:

  How to get the approximately 32 GB (92, 5-59, 2 GB) of disk space happen on Windows Server 2003 VM settings and drive hard host operating system Windows 7?

  Thank you.

  People,

  Hello. VMware Tools has tab Shrink to reduce the virtual disk. But the free disk space hard host should be larger that the size of the virtual disk you are reduced to shrink.

  The problem is solved by myself. Thank you.

• Save the number of the Virtual Machine: expand the size of the virtual disk of Guest OS affect the physical disk on the host operating system files?

  People,

  Hello. I use 3 Player VM and Guest OS Windows Server 2003. The host OS is Windows 7. I need to increase the size of the VM disk, so who can install several systems in the guest OS. If something bad happens during the expansion of the size of the virtual disk, the guest operating system and its Applications will not work. Thus, before expanding the size of the virtual disk, I need to back up the virtual machine hard disk external.

  I have check the disk hard host operating system Windows 7, the path is C:\VirtualMachine\WindowsServer2003\... When I get to the top of the virtual machine on the external hard drive, simply select the 'VirtualMachine' folder and save automatically. I have 3 questions as follows:

  First of all, if something bad happens during the expansion of the size of the virtual disk, the guest operating system and its Applications do not work. Can I just delete the folder 'VirtualMachine' in the host operating system?

  Secondly, the problem of the first question does not affect files in the physical hard disk to host operating system?

  Third, if something wrong happens during expand the size of the virtual disk of OS guest, I simply delete the folder 'VirtualMachine' in the host operating system and load the original 'VirtualMachine' from the external hard drive in the host operating system. Works correctly as long as one is the Virtual Machine before Stude the virtual disk size?

  Thank you.

  Yes.

  That's right, as long as you have not added and other virtual disks of different folders on the host of the virtual machine, you can probably did not.

  After developing the size of the virtual disk, you must also change the size of the partition in the guest operating system.

• Advice needed on the installation of an operating system for my laptop

  I have a laptop which has 3 hard drives, my main 'C' drive Vista pre-installed and is almost full... I want to use the other 2 hard drives, local drive "D" and "F" of the data, how can I go about it?  Am I right in thinking that I must install an operating system on them, that is for Vista, and as it has been preloaded on my laptop, how do it on the other 2 drives?  I'm not at all in computing, and any advice would be welcome, because I really need to be able to make use of all this space!  As I have Vista already installed on my main drive and a product key (no), can be installed on the other 2?

  Thank you.

  If it won't let you follow the signs to extend your C: drive, contact the manufacturer of your laptop.

• Download VHD resizer for comments, Windows XP operating system and host operating system Windows 7

  
  People,

  Hello. I'm under VMPlayer 3. My OS is Windows 7 and the guest operating system is Windows XP.

  Because the virtual guest OS Windows XP hard drive is full, I need to decompress. http://wmtoolkit.com/files/folders/converters/entry87.aspx does not work.

  My question is:

  Can any folk provide a link to download VHD Resizer for guest Windows XP and Windows 7 host?

  Thanks in advance.

  First of all, is correct install VHD resizer in Windows 7 operating system and not guest OS Windows XP host?

  No it should not be installed in any to resize a VMware virtual hard drive.  The .vhd file extension is used with Microsoft virtulazition no VMware. (Does not mean a .vhd cannot be used, as it can however it not typical.)

  Secondly, what file is selected to resize?

  None like which is not how a VMware virtual disk gets developed from the interface of VMware Player!

  Resize a virtual hard drive via the VMware Player GUI is done using the Expand command on the Utilities menu, when you select the virtual hard disk under settings of the virtual machine on the material tab

  Suggest you only look in the help file in VMware Player!    VMware Player 3.x menu > help > Help topics > use of disks and drives > Virtual Machine disk storage > parameters of the hard disk to the virtual disks

  Once the disc has been extended then the virtual partition to be resized and Andre, I like to use GParted Live ISO Image.

  Thirdly, why no unoccupied hard disk in the virtual Windows XP computer after resizing settings completed?

  Not sure what you mean by "why no empty disc ', 'unoccupied '?  Screenshot of the Hardware tab for the target VM THAT could help explain what you mean by 'unoccupied '.  However if you try to resize a VMware virtual hard drive in VMware Player 3.x then extend the disk in the virtual machine settings, then use info to the link provided by André in the first reply in this thread!

• Some dba and the associated operating system confusion

  Hi all

  I have some doubts related to the database and from the perspective of the OS. Could pelase let someone delete my those doubts and clarify below questions:

  Qus1: Can we have two with the same default port number 1521 listener.ora file?

  Qus2: Why create two groups 'dba' and 'oinstall' during the installation of oracle database?

  Qus3: If my database is using newspaper archive and in case the archiver process is killed and then redo will be archived or not otherwise what will happen?

  Qus4: If I have the catalogue for RMAN metadata database. And in the case of catalogue database broke down. I will be able to use RMAN backupsets to restore the database?

  Qus5: What is needed to run the script "some_path/root.sh" during the installation of the oracle at the last step database?

  Qus6: How can we know what are the database running in my server level operating system itself means if no database is down or crashed, can we get to know on these data base level operating system itself? If Yes, then please specify the command?

  Qus7: How can configure us UDP protocol for my interlocutor?

  Qus: If I update a table and query update happens. Between the two OS gets stop then when he is back my transaction will be rolledback. Please let me know how TI happenes means is there any process to do this or something else?

  Please clarify the issues above.

  Michel, you must work on your technique of learning. In the Oracle environment, "If in doubt - try it". This applies to three of your questions:

  1. try to start two listeners, listening on the port and the same address. Then, try different addresses.

  3 kill the archiver process. You'll see the result soon enough.

  4. yet once, test it.

  You have also some questions of documentation:

  2. There is a chapter on this in the installation guide, but I guess that's a little vague on the 'why '. You need to think about the situation where you have multiple databases on a machine with different databases, and you should restrict DBA access to their own DB only.

  7. the Net Services Administrator's guide describes the configuration of the supported protocols.

  8. the Guide of Concepts a chapter describing the background process that will be answered.

  That leaves two:

  5. I don't understand what you're asking.

  6. If I understand correctly it is y no definitive answer on Unix, if you can deduce by looking at files such as oratab or the contents of your directories of dbs. Under Windows, look at the Windows services

• Need some advice on a motion graphics/editing PC build.

  Here's the deal. I was builing custom PC of for more than 20 years, but not a system anything close to that I intend to build then and need expert advice and information about a person to her. I'm looking to build a system designed for video editing, creating motion graphics and 3D modeling, and some argue more questions about which components would be best for my needs (mainly on the graphics card and hard drives).

  
  

  The first is the card video (s). And I say 'maps' because I don't know if I need more a card for what I am trying to accomplish. I have create many long 3D animations and complex using Blender and After Effects, in addition to changing a variety of projects in creation and you want the best bang for my money. My budget for this system is quite high ($5 k and 10 k $) and I know I can get amazing at this price performance if I get the right equipment. Thus, on the cards. From what I have gathered, briefly, Google search, is that I want a card with CUDA Nvidia for video editing. My main question in this area is, would be to dual graphic cards or using SLI quad be good in what I'm doing or is SLI mainly intended for improved game performance? From what I understand, I think that (at least the video, not sure about 3D animation) is done mainly using the CPU and GPU not; Although the help of CUDA. Basically, I need to know how useful it is. If I bought two or four GTX 980 see a significant improvement in After Effects, Blender or creation? I plan to get one of the top (if not the top) i7 CPU I can find, so it won't be a bottleneck of my CPU performance, so please does anyone suggest to put the money into the CPU rather than the GPU because I already put the maximum amount here.

  
  

  My other main question is regarding hard disks (or solid state). I'm doing a bit of editing and modeling 3D on a laptop and it's getting really well for projects bit, that I have worked so far, but as I started to work on projects that have strict deadlines, I'll need a system that can make it basically as fast as possible. My main question in this area is, should I use any sort of RAID array. I looked at several forums, but none of them specifically answered the question for my unique situation. Most other forums says ' well, if you will only use it for editing and not animation "etc but I'm going to do a 3D animation as well, so I need to know what the answer is in this case instead... I also know that the other messages regarding the change of systems, to recommend the use as three discs for things like "scratch disks". I have a feeling that I'll get a few recommendations here saying I need like seven discs for what I'm trying to make, which are the answers that I really can't wait to hear about. I mainly looked at RAID 5, 6, & 10 but do not fully understand them, and have in fact never implemented in any system I've built so far. From what little I understand, I think that RAID 10 would work better for my needs, which offers a great read & write speeds which is important and also provides redundancy, which IMO is even more important. I can't have the system down for an hour, or worse a week because one of my drives breaks down. My other question in this area is a table of the SSD would greatly improve performance in a RAID 10 array? Would it be profitable? I read in a post recently that drives hard actually handle more large files better than SSDs and worried to SSD in the test bench because they would not be able to handle larger video files and I'll use it frequently as well as hard drives would be. I guess I'll be shooting and editing many 4K projects soon and need a system that will handle this resolution well. If I have to use 4 hard drives in an array of RAID 10 for my OS (the RAID for speed and redundancy), drive a small SSD for a scratch disk and a large SSD or HARD drive for a player video output, please list the exact readers/configuration that you would suggest that I use and why. I am very interested in a bit of a discussion here to get the best possible configuration for the money and will respond to all sincere responses as quickly as possible.
  

  I know I already asked several complicated issues here but am hoping someone with a little more experience that I have in building editing systems can provide some advanced tips and help me and someone else who can try to build a similar system in the future. I know also that this issue is not specifically intended for the AE, but it has to do with this and because EI is editor and motion graphic, I'm find the best advice for a system that will edit video and create animations. Thank you 1 million (in advance) to anyone who provides a contribution instructed in answer to the questions that I have!
  

  simply 2xssd raid 1 (mirror) for the OS/applications.

  1 ssd for zero/previews

  second raid 6 or 10 with the hdd or ssd for the media.   (if you don't get a lot of drives to get the speed, you will want to use ssd.)

  No raid for backups. can use several disks hard, but in combination with off-site, such as cloud backup.

  Optional could be another ssd for cache/export. If the ssd scratch fails, it would be able to support.

  can take a look at the guides of storage here for more information.  Tweakers Page

• Impossible to install a host operating system

  Install completely new for vSphere 5.0 on the new Dell server.  vSphere server and client installed on the appropriate machines.  Made datacenter and virtual machine made, but impossible to install OS on it.  Srv Win2008 installation 2.

  I tried to install from the customer and welcome CD, install from memory stick and install from ISO on the client.  I've disabled PXE and moved CD at the top of the boot list.  I hit f12 and specifically selected boot to a CD.  I still receive the "could not be found operating system".

  I can't find anywhere that tells me how to copy an ISO on the host drive and I do not know shell (said I don't).

  Everything I found on google is a dead-end.

  Any help would be great!

  Greg

  Welcome to the community - are you sure that the CD is bootable? To copy an ISO file to a data store on your ESXi host, you can use a program like winscp but you will need SSH access is enabled or using browser data store will allow you to copy the ISO file on your desktop into your ESXi hosr -.

• Please help me choose a host operating system.

  I know that it's almost a religion, what people choose as their host for vmware workstation operating system.  So, I'll give you as many details as possible about my situation and maybe this well informed community can help me choose a good generation.

  So here's my situation.

  I want to be able to run esxi cluster on a laptop computer at r2 within vmware workstation, and then to the breast of this windows cluster 08, linux (various distributions server and desktop), windows 7, windows xp,.   I know it's a little aggressive, so I install the equipment as follows:

  2760qm (quad core 2.4 ghz)

  16 GB of ram (to start I'm going up to 32 shortly)

  120 GB ssd drive

  1 gb ethernet.

  Everything on a thinkpad mobile w520.

  So up to the requirements.

  I want a host with overhead operating system resources and footprint of small disk, stability and good performance.   I am very familiar with windows of all flavors.  I am a novice on linux and a total noob to BSD.  I'm comfortable from any platform that I'm a fast learner.

  My number one preference would be stability.  Number two would be performance.  Number 3 is marked by record low (because of small ssd), number 4 ease of use...   So there you have it.  I read all the research that I met and they all seem to be pre2010 and vary enormously in the opinions.  So I ask this question even in a more modern than laptops Kingdom now take some very nice hardware configurations.

  If you have the choice between XP 64 and Windows 7 - choose XP 64. It will be surpassed Windows 7 with any effort.
  Even better 2003 64.
  In my experience the worst choice is Win 2008 R2 - he has the most problems.

  Reminder: here at home I run win 7-64, 2008 R2 and 32 2003 Enterprise in dualboot on a variety of 8 GB of RAM
  I compare the performance directly since version 6.5
  The 2003 EE overcomes the other 2 when it comes to VMware performance significantly
