P2V - vConverter (Vizioncore) or converter (VMware) or Platspin (Novell) - including one for Linux?

Until everyone uses and why?

Linux seems to be the big problem with the tool of everybody, especially when you start adding products laminates in the RHEL OS as Veritas Volume Manager.

Hello

I think you're out of luck with Veritas as Converter includes that both file systems and considering this isn't a default file for Linux system I have the feeling that this is not part of this. I would open a feature with your representative request VMware sales or support, most people who do this more the chance that this will happen.

Your only alternative is to use something like rsync/scp/ftp to copy the files from the physical to the virtual nodes. I use rsync with no major problems. Just used last night.

  • What is the fastest way to convert VMWare workstation VM of ESXi?

    Hello

    Was curious to know what is the quickest way to convert a VMWare workstation VM to a VM compatible ESXi. Is the method of standalone converter VMWare at the following ADDRESS of the faster method:

    http://www.networkinghowtos.com/HOWTO/convert-virtual-machine-VMware-Workstation-ESXi-vSphere/

    Or is the method below faster? The method below mentions converter standalone is required for Workstation 8 VM but did not mention if it is needed for Workstation 8 AND HIGHER VM (ie: 9 and 10 workstation).

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1012258

    My ultimate goal is to export on a USB key and then import on the ESXi instead of convert and copy it to the network server. I'm exporting to my 3 TB USB would be faster than the copy of the virtual machine on the network. Thoughts?

    I think the second is the best option VMware KB: export of VMS in VMware Workstation to ESX/ESXi

    As you can see you can export the VM and after import on the EXS (do not use personalization)

    But uf you have Vmware Workstation 8 or higher, you can connect to the ESX Server and move the machine. If you are in the same local network and do it at a time of low workload, it would be the best option.

  • VMware Server 2.0.1 for Linux 64-bit - any differences?

    Probably a stupid question (well, it is), but I can't find a definitive answer.  Is there a difference between the "'VMware Server 2 for Linux 64 - bit version operating systems ' rpm and archive "Basic application necessary for the performance of VMware Server 2, 64-bit version" ?"  The database size, release & build number, etc..  I put this on a Ubuntu 9.04 server, so the speed control will not work unless I convert it into something that includes apt.  Is archive of the right way to go?

    Thank you.

    You are right, because they contain the same substance, just wrapped differently for different distributions. Labelling could certainly be clearer. Have fun!

  • 6u2 ESXi host nested on VMware Workstation for Linux referee v12

    Hello all, I have

    I have a lab environment virtual running in VMware Workstation for Linux v12, and my ESXi hosts do not work correctly on one of the virtual networks. All my troubleshooting suggests a problem with nested ESXi hosts that may be a bug, but I want to assure you that I did everything properly first. That's why I post here with the hope that if I made a mistake that maybe someone else can point out he me.

    Physical system

    8 core Intel Xeon 2.1 GHz CPU

    128 GB of RAM

    OS - kernel Linux 64 - bit w/3.19.0-32-generic Linux Mint 17.3 (fully updated from this announcement)

    VMware Workstation 12 Pro - 12.1.1. Build-3770994 (fully updated from this announcement)

    Nested ESXi host VM

    ESXi v6.0.0 (Build 3825889, completely updated from this announcement)

    4 cards 'physical' (only 3 used for now)

    -all use the e1000 NIC hardware virtual, but also tried vmxnet3 NIC with no difference

    -vSwitch0 use vmnic0 & 1 vmnet16 of virtual network in a pair of active / standby

    -vSwitch1 uses vmnic2 on network virtual vmnet18

    -vmk0 used for management on vSwitch0 and vmk1 for iSCSI on vSwitch1

    -"Promiscuous" mode and forged passes enabled on all Port vSwitch groups (activating or turning off these features makes no difference)

    Test performed until now

    I checked that all the IP addresses and network masks used are correct.

    With the help of vmkping I ping other nodes on the network vmnet16 with success.

    With the help of vmkping I tried to ping the other nodes in the network vmnet18, but that has failed.

    I have depolyed other non - ESXi VMs on the vmnet18 network, and they are able to ping each other, but are unable to ping or ping by the ESXI host.

    I tried various material virtual NIC as mentioned before, but without changes in the results.

    I tried to use only local network instead of the vmnet18 guest network segments with no change in results.

    When I find out the status of the network adapters on the ESXi host through vCenter or host incorporated client vmnic0 & 1 time display network information, but vmnic2 shows no networks. Yet, I know that there is a network with different VM communicate on it. Moreover, I was able to get all of this work on a Windows system running 10 Workstation (this is the laptop that my employer gives me with).

    Having built nested ESXi labs on different platforms as well as physical environments in the past, I'm very confused as to why I can't get this special configuration to work. At this point my gut tells me that this is probably a bug any with the nested themselves ESXi hosts. Since I can get all this work on vmnet16 including the management of ESXi hosts and the VCSA that I use, I am sure that my vSwitch configuration is correct (other than the IP address space and vmnic configurations is bascially the same). Because I can get other virtual machines to communicate over the network vmnet18 I don't see how can be a VMware Workstation for the issue physical Linux host. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? I read on the ESXi hosts nested under VMware Workstation after having known problems and bugs with networking. If anyone else has experienced this?

    Thanks for any help others can provide!

    Kind regards

    Patrick

    Well, the problem is now resolved. The problem was what covelli was trying to explain, but I couldn't because the physical host network adapters being mentioned.

    The problem on the Linux host, but it was a problem of permissions with the virtual Ethernet adapters. The following article has the fix:
    With the help of Ethernet virtual cards in Promiscuous Mode on a Linux host (287) | VMware KB

    Even if I launched the workstation under the root user I have yet met this problem and which still makes no sense to me, but change the permissions solve the problem. I was not getting an error message on my Linux Mint and Ubuntu system, but when I tried on a second box of Linux Mint that I just got the error has been generated, and the error message was the above link it contains.

    So, here's what I learned:

    (1) the question has nothing to with a VMware Workstation definition that you can configure.

    (2) the question has nothing to do with a physical network card.
    (3) the question has nothing to do with any vmnic on the nested ESXi host.

    (4) apparently virtual Ethernet adapters are not the correct permissions when created.

    All you have to do to fix this is:

    (1) open a terminal.

    (2) run the command ' sudo chmod a + rw/dev/vmnet * "(don't forget to run this each time that you create a new virtual network).

    You can also create a group, as shown in the link above and simply give this group the correct permissions. Personally, I think it's easier to just give everyone the rw permission.

    I appreciate the help that others have offered. I did not understand what was asked for in previous answers because of the terms that have been used.

  • 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.

  • VMware discover 5 support for linux/ubuntu comments?

    Dear Sirs

    Is there an agent yet for linux especially Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.  With the Android development picking up speed, we have a real need to have our developers.  The main thing that is necessary for us is the USB redirection to the prompt of the client running XP/Windows 7 or even a thin client for them to download cores to our material connected to the customer.  Thanks in advance, if anyone knows of other solutions, it would be really appreciated.

    Are you talking about Office VDI or on the side of client to end-users.

    There is a VMware View Client for Linux, this will allow Linux machines to connect to a broker and load a Windows VDI image.

    However it is not a VMware View Agent for Linux that allow a remote desktop Linux to be negotiated through the infrastructure of the view to a device from end user customers.

    There are rumors of people for the agent Windows runs under Linux using wine and Rdesktop but no one seems to have posted a shot-by-shot full of way to account and then that would be completely supported the point of view of VMware.

    You are not likely to be able to convert your CS4 license / Windows to Mac version.  Platform conversions are supported only for current releases, that would be CS6.  Creative cloud subscriptions allow one or two platforms will be supported.
