• How can I run VMWare Workstation on a virtual host?

  I need to run VMWare workstation 7.1 on a 2008 R2 virtual running on ESXi.  The software installs fine, but when I try to start the virtual machines I get the following error 'you are running VMWare Workstation via an incompatible hypervisor. You can not power on a Windows virtual machine until this hypervisor is disabled. »

  Is it still possible?

  Due to a design flaw of material in the first AMD - V compatible processors, we do not support AMD - V on your host.  Hardware support for virtualization (AMD - V or VT - x) for the virtual machine outside is needed to get nested VMs to work.

  I'm running on vmware workstation on Windows 7 with Lenovo laptop.

  in the configuration of your virtual machine, the main issue is memory. you gave the 2 GB of RAM, whereas ESXi 6 cannot go forward without minimum 4 GB of RAM.

  If please have 4 GB of RAM and re-run Setup. you will get through.

• ESXi on VMWare Workstation with widows 2008 comments

  Hello

  I am about to begin a new deployment and I tested some things before that I have shell out money for new equipment and software.

  I tested Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit on VMWare Workstation and everything is good.  My VMWare Workstation is on Win 7 64 bit

  Ultimately, this equipment will run on ESX, vSphere Essentials through.   To test this, I installed ESXi 4 Update 1 inside VMWare Workstation.

  Because the vSphere client is not supported on Windows 7, I installed the Client vSphere on Win XP 32 bit inside another guest of VMWare Workstation.

  During the installation of Windows 2008 R2 64-bit on ESXi, via vSphere on XP, I get the following error

  Trying to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU in is not compatible with the 64-bit mode.

  Well, I know that my cpu is 64-bit capable, because I'm already under 64-bit so much already.

  It worries me a bit, because I wasn't expecting this obstacle - my test was to validate a number of other things, not this and now I think I might switch to Hyper-V.

  I already searched the forums, and from what I found, nothing has solved the problem yet

  However, there could be a saving grace - could the fact that I'm under esxi in vmware workstation cause this problem?

  Paul

  You're out of luck.

  You cannot run 64-bit inside a virtual ESX clients.

  Nested VMs have no VT support, you need to run a 64-bit client

• VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V system role before running VMware Workstation

  Ouch. I just started to do some Win Phone 8 and development Win, and all simulators are needed for development.

  This means that a dev to Win8 may only work on their host... I'm sure it would work in a virtual machine.

  Can I make for happy? (Hyper V might have to win here... sigh).

  VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V system role before running VMware Workstation

  Once you install the Hyper-V role on your host, your host is no longer running Windows 8 as the native operating system.  It runs Hyper-V as the native operating system, and Windows 8 runs as OS management within a privileged under Hyper-V VM.  With the Hyper-V role installed, * everything * runs in a virtual machine under Hyper-V.

  So to run a virtual machine under my computer in Windows 8 under Hyper-V, you must be able to run a nested VM.  It's possible with Hyper-V, the hypervisor host, but with the updates in custody, I mentioned above.

• How to run VMWare workstation as a service?

  Hello

  I installed VMware Workstation 7 (latest version) and created a virtual machine. The problem is that once I have disconnected the host, the virtual machine stops!

  Is there a setting to prevent this? It should be able to run VMWare Workstation as a service.

  Thank you

  M.R.

  Running a process that wasn't supposed to be run as a service was taken over ad nauseam on Internet Google is your friend.

  Although it is possible to start the process as a service, however unless you use a program that can well handle the cessation of treatment and or restart the messages from the host and transmit them to the virtual machine, then it does not really work as a true service since it will not be the appropriate communication channels to activate the Virtual Machine to make a correct and controlled stop when the host is restarted or shutdown and that can damage the Virtual Machine.  If you plan to run a VM as a Service under VMware Workstation then I offer so you have good backups (which we should have anyway) and make sure you have access to working distance before running it as a service you can do a controlled stop on the VM before the reboot or shutdown of the host if you have not a utility appropriate to deal with it properly and safely.

  Another option is to use VMware Server, but keep in mind it seems to be the end of life and not maintained more.

• Cannot install the 64-bit guest computer in runing Server ESXi on VMware workstation.

  Help expensive,

  I have my doubts with the installation of Microsoft windows server 2008 64 bit in my ESXi server running on WMware workstation. And my physical OS is windows 7 64 bit.

  When I created guest computer already and I'm starting to be able to on, the followning of pop-up windows and I say Yes. It can start my .iso file but after he boot, says Windows error.

  And it's the screenshot.

  So that means I can't install guest PC 64 bit in my ESXi Server?

  Thank you

  Best regards

  nested support 64 bit on ESXi running on top on workstaiton is not supported. you are better off creating this virtual machine as a virtual machine on my computer...

• I'll be able to run VMware Workstation on Win 2008 Web edition?

  Hi all

  It is my first post so I apologize if this question has been answered before but I have a hard time finding the location of research right and the forum.

  Any help would be appreciated thanks.

  The host is currently a windows Server 2003 with vmware worksation installed... We have a... hp Server will spare...

  TO clarify, you'll move VMware Workstation on a different host?

  They are for example only development as a domain controller to run various bits n bobs in the dev environment.

  If the host is still underway for dev, and you don't mind being in a bit of territory not supported, so go ahead and try.  Download Workstation test and see what happens.  As I said, as far as I KNOW, Web Edition may miss a few things like some of the tools of administration or server roles.  But that will probably not e problem to host virtual machines.

  If there are known issues with VMware workstatsion and web 2008 so that we would have to look at a change in the operating system.

  Beyond the legal bits on not not using Web Edition, for anything other than web hosting, I suppose that you'd be ok.  What is the attitude of your shop to Linux?  Or license Windows 2003 current server, can it be transferred to the HP Server?  (e.g. non - OEM license or volume license.)

• How to run VMWARE Workstation 7.1.2 securely on Windows 7?

  Hello

  I downloaded a trial version of vmware workstation 7.1.2 to check, if I could use it to keep a proven windows 2000 on a windows host environment 7.

  When I run a virtual machine, the system tells me, that the "VmWare authorization Service" does not work. When I try to start from the list of services of the Task Manager, I get the error code_6000004.

  On a forum German vmware, I found the advice to disable windows security feature 7 UAC completely. But that has not yet solved the problem I've tried with a non-administrative user account.

  Finally it works, but only in a dangerous way:

  So far, I only managed to run VMWARE 7.1.2 on Windows 7, if I disable UAC AND log in as administrator. Which would be Ok for experiment from time to time, but do not regularly the computer as is - for good reason - not recommended by windows.

  Can someone please give me some adivce on my questions:

  How can I use VMWare Workstation on a host of Windows 7 with an non-administratif account?

  Better would be, how can I use VMWare Workstation as a standard user AND you have UAC on a recommended security level?

  Is disabling the functions of central security in fact the adivce official to run VmWare on a host of Windows 7?

  I know, Windows 7 is quite new and a lot of software has not properly adapted to him so far, but in the meantime, it is still not easy to find an older host OS to be able to correctly use VMWare (on Windows 2000 as a host, it worked great and I do not want to give it up so easy)

  Kind regards

  I just removed the XML that has been added automatically

  I used Vmware Workstation 7.x for Windows 7 without problems so far. I installed the package as an administrator, of course, but then used the user to create and manage virtual machines. I have UAC in default mode and does not get a prompt either do anything.

  The option "Run as Administrator" is just to load an application with administrator credentials already loading in the token to access at the outset and you will get a prompt later, but there should be no difference here.

• Unable to run VMware-workstation-full - 7.1.1 - 282343.exe

  I just bought an upgrade to my current workstation 6.5 x to 7.x

  I downloaded the installer of VMware using their download manager and use the fciv utility to check the MD5 matches the one provided on the download page.

  I am running XP SP3 with all the latest updates from Microsoft.

  Whenever I try to run the installer, I get an error message indicating that the web page contains errors:

  Online: 43
  Error: 'gPlatform' is undefned

  I have an option to use the built-in Internet Explorer script debugger, but that did not help because he's actually trying to open Visual Studio 2005 to debug (which I use for development).  Can I get

  The interface error user has expired.

  I hope that someone can provide a better suggestion than (a) the upgrade of Windows (not an option) or (b) get my money back, which seem to be my options is valid only for the moment.

  Temporarily disable all firewall and AV software and make sure that you don't limit the use of the js code in Internet Explorer.

  The installation runs a script js to start the GUI installation.

  Also start your installation from a folder with only the installation package.

• ESXi vm on workstation, can connect ipod?

  Hello

  This question is Yes or no:

  I have esxi 4 installed in a virtual machine on my computer, and then on the esxi host 4 I deployed a 32-bit windows xp vm, I added usb devices on two VMS esxi in workstation and windows xp vm on esxi, I can connect the ipod to the computer virtual esxi, i.e. no mystery, since I was a machine virtual windows 7 on my computer and I use itunes and all that.

  But, I can connect the ipod to the vm xp residing on the esxi host?

  See you soon.

  This question is Yes or no:

  The answer is 'no '.

  You can't pass through USB devices to a virtual machine running on ESXi. It didn't matter if the ESXi host is vital or physical (as in your case)

• Guest OS VMware Workstation with NAT cannot communicate with the host

  I often run VMware Workstation on an Ubuntu Linux box and the load of virtual machines inside.

  The default is to configure a network card for the NAT, but that NEVER works, I have never no connectivity to the physical network in my guest operating system until I have change the type of the virtual machine network adapter for bridged.

  However, when I install ESXi 4.1 as a VM bridged, he can see the physical network, but VMs decked inside it can not...  I think that if I am NAT to work he'd let me withdraw my guest as oses nested inside BONE that is a host... If this is meaningless to anyone at all network connectivity prompt.

  I could really use help figure this.  I was hitting my head for weeks and led to nothing.

  If you do not know which IP address to use in the case of NAT, I recommend you temporarily enable DHCP on the Windows 7 host and then run "ipconfig/all" to see what it looks like. To configure the IP settings manually, make a note of the settings and set the IP address of one outside the range NAT NETWORK.

• Disadvantages with VMware Workstation (7) running on a server rack Xeon?

  Hello

  We intend to run VMware Workstation on my company (7) on a server rack Xeon based (the next generation of Xeon, i.e. Beckton/Nehalem-EX, with 8 cores, planned in the 1st quarter of 2010), and then access all of these virtual machine guests (based on Windows, both the server and desktop kind/flavor) by separate remote desktop connections direct to them.

  I had a very hard time, trying to find out if there is (large or small) disadvantages with this approach?

  We do not want to use Vmware Server for this, because its characteristics (for example with respect to snapshots) are lower than those of VMware Workstation, and nor do we want to use ESXi, because we always want to run Windows as a host on the server operating system.

  Is VMware Workstation our best choice then, and there will be no significant disadvantage? I think it's as if there is a missing in the VMware portfolio, product i.e. namely I miss a server product with all the features of VMware Workstation, which still runs on a different host OS, what am I?

  In any case, again, the main question is:

  This plan of ours is stupid, and in this case how should we best solve it? Is there really an advantage by using VMware Server instead of VMware Workstation in this situation and in this case more exactly what?

  Any input or answers will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

  VMware Workstation on a good Windows installation will do you fine.

  Ideal if you conclude that the MS-host in this day you don't need no matter what Antivirus or firewall.

  Then such a facility will do what you expect.

  I wouldn't consider VMserver - workstation surpasses VMserver my experience

• VMWARE Workstation or ESXi

  I currently run VMWARE Workstation on my Windows XP host computer. I have a laboratory facility 5 machine Windows active directory in an environment "TEAM."

  It is soon time to expand my lab at 7 machines and want some advice on what I should do next. I was going to one of the 2 courses.

  1. update my PC by replacing the host OS 32-bit to a 64 bit OS. Get a more powerful CPU and go to 6 GB of RAM. I'm still worried about the disk i/o, however many machines with what I have all my guests running on a single hard drive. If anyone cares to elaborate on the performance by running that this many machines off 1 disc it would be greatly appreciated.

  2. get the material needed to create an ESXi whitebox. I really don't know much about the capacity or features of ESXi. I guess the main thing I want to know is that you can configure a function of 'The TEAM' as in VMWARE Workstation. I find this very handy feature.

  If I decide to build an ESXi server, is installed in a VM guest in workstation for practice? Is this desirable?

  From what you say in this thread, I think I agree with NWhiley. Stick to the workstation and add to your current HW configuration. I would definitely add additional hard disks, maybe even an external storage array. The outer table has a great performance insofar as, if you decide to go the route of ESXi to a later date, it will be easy to take your storage with you space. This will be your least expensive option (in terms of money & learning curve) and does not get to ESXi in the future. It's one of the beauties of virtualization, you can grow in stages

• How to add a second hard drive Ubuntu Server, that runs on vmware workstation 9

  Hello

  I am running vmware workstation on windows 9 8, and I installed Ubuntu 12.10 as a virtual machine on my SSD. I installed a second hard drive in the machine and use the "Add a HDD" feature on vmware workstation to add and pre-allocate space. The problem is that the drive does not appear in Ubuntu. I have checked/Media and / dev, I expected to see something like /sda *. It is a procedural step, I missed it, please help!

  Do I have to mount the drive in a special way? How can I check if it is properly attached?

  Thank you!

  What you said so far, it's like adding a second physical drive to a physical computer and the operating system cannot access until it was partitioned and formatted, and then it can be mounted.  To do the same thing in a VM!
