Please advice. I'm new to VMware
I need to get the hands on skills on VMware and want advice on the best way to do it. I was told to install vmware as the operating system. Please advise me in steps what I need to do to download vmware and install it on windows 7 or windows server 2008 R2?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Welcome to the community - you can not install ESXi (the name of the VMware software) directly on a WIndows operating system - you will need to install something like VMware Workstation that allows you to create the virtual machine and install ESXi in this VM.
Here is a link that shows how to do it- http://www.sysprobs.com/vmware-vsphere-4-esxi-4-windows-7-vmware-workstation-7-pc .
You can google for other links-

New to vmware - network speed help please
Hi all
I recently joined and installed ESXi 5.1.0 Build 799733 on a box tailor-made purely to test many of our customers use it and I need to familiarize myself with it. Everythings went well except 1 perticular question so far. I have 2 vm Win Server 2008 on a test domain that work very well. However my pc if I rdp to one of the servers and start a copy of the file to say 4 GB RDP, its says its will take about 5 hours ago, transferring 1 mb/s all about surely is not fair?
The server and my pc are on ssd and a local network of 1 GB connection. Ive browsed the forums and found an article on sending disable unloading on the two network cards, which I did, but it remains the question of speed. Someone at - it any guidance please as its really frustrating. I rang vmware for support but was advised to try here before you buy a solution of their own.
Please remember I'm new on this and don't have much linux background. I hope someone here can help solve it please?
ESXi Spec:
1 x 250 GB SSD - running two VMS
16GB DDR3 1666 mhz
Intel Core i7 870 processor 2.93 mhz
Realtek 8168 Gigabit Ethernet - vSphere reports 10MB Full Duplex Auto negotiate (read online that this speed is not serious because it will be more efficient?)
PC Spec:
Windows 8
1 x 250 GB SSD
8 GB DDR3 1333 mhz
AMD Phenom II x 6 1055 t.
Network Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller card
The two Spec VM:
4 CPUS (2 virtual Sockets, 2 by heart)
4 GB of Ram
E1000 network card (tried other types but without success)
50GB partition C
Thanks in advance
With a 1GBit switch port and a 1GBit "Auto/Auto" NIC (speed and Duplex auto-negotiation) is the recommended setting. If you get a lower speed, or one of the components (switch port, NIC, or network cable) has a problem or your NETWORK card is is simply not supported on ESXi, i.e. the required drivers are missing. In this case, you can get a NETWORK card, or at least one which is known as work.

Looking for advice for a new user to vmware
Hi all
Looking for a help and advice for a rookie to vmware
We have just purchsed 3 x DL380 G8 each with 8 x 1 TB HARD drive no storage shared, and we are currently approved for most part more packs 2 x.
What I wanted to do was to reproduce some VM so if one breaks down then we can either manually or automatically start another on another host. I'd like to reproduce our exchange 2010 essentially server but that is currently on the phyiscal material and I would need to first do a P2V conversion. I also read a few negative articles on running exchange on a virtual computer.
I had read a little and looks like FT is outside the quetsion because of having not shared storage in place and there is also the limitation of 1vcpu. So I was wondering where to start really. For any tips, pointers, etc. will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Welcome to the communities...
As you use Essentials Plus, you can order vSphere Storage Appliance you can use a shared storage. Make sure that the hardware is compatiable with vSA (http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/12/major-hcl-changes-for-the-vsphere-storage-appliance-vsa.html)

New to VMware - problems with P2V
I am very new to VMware, so I don't know exactly where to start to get out of trouble. I try to P2V a couple of machines (an older office and about a year laptop) just to test it and get comfortable with the process. I managed with the creation of new virtual machines, but whenever I try to convert one, converter Stand Alone Client shows the conversion as having successfully completed. When I try to run the virtual machine in vSphere Client, all I get is a black screen with what appears to be a progress bar gray little in the upper left of the screen.
I'm sure that more information is needed, the only thing is that I'm not sure that I have all the information I provide and where to find it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
bstaton,
Re-convert and go to the SCSI instead of IDE. This is a bug, here's the cover note:

New on VMWare... Login and password problems
Hi all
I inherited a few major COMPUTER disasters with a client. I'm new to VMWare and have found that several virtual servers are no longer running. We have pay to this topic. When I run the Home Page of VMWare Server it takes me to VMware Infrastructure Web Access with a login and password, but I have no idea what could be. The person who set up the system is not reachable. Is there a way to identify and fix this mess?
Thanks in advance.

I'm new to VMware and need help.
I'm new to VMWare and barely installed ESXi 6.0 created a host but now I can not install Windows 2012 r2. Cannot access the ISO. Do I need the plugin integration customer or what. I called tech support and they would not help because I am on trial. Any help would be great. Thank you
You select the ISO in the settings of the virtual machine and select 'connect at Power On "? Alternatively, you can connect the ISO in the current state (power on) and then press CTRL-ALT-INS to 'hot' start the virtual machine.
André
PS: If it still does not work, check that you have a bootable ISO image, for example not only a picture of Service Pack.

Is it possible to hide the news of Vmware's Virtual Machine?
Hello just a small matter of team.
We have 5 ESX
Is it possible to hide the news of Vmware's Virtual Machine during the creation of the Virtual Machine (not in registry) that we have a lot of VM?
Start > run > msinfo32 >
Thank you
GoldTipu
Hello
It is possible that you could change some things in the registry, but there are many other "clues" as something being a virtual machine, such as the presence of tools VM, MAC address, drivers, etc.

advice on which version of vmware to use
Hi folks, I'm relatively new to VMWare and hope you can help me with this decision. We currently have VMWare vSphere 4 installed. I need to deploy 2 new VMWare hosts and I try to work what version of VMWare to deploy. I know there is a free version of ESXi 5 available that will be very good to host virtual machines, I need to run. I also know that if and when I want to upgrade these licenses free VMWare, I can do.
My question is in fact the real waiting even for ESXi 4 - is for free and can I upgrade the license as and when I want to? The advantage for the deployment of version 4 is that I can then add these hosts to my environment vSphere and use patterns (we do not have shared storage for vMotion or any other characteristic of type HA). Also are there advantages to using ESXi 5 as opposed to 4.
Thoughts would be appreciated!
Thank you
Alastair
Welcome to the community,
You can get a free license for ESXi 4.x and 5.x. What both of them have in common is that you can run only in the current state of the hosts only. They cannot be added to an instance of vCenter server. The main difference - in addition to the improvements of the new version - is when it comes to features licensed. With ESXi 4.x is not fundamentally about memory (256 GB) limit, but there is a limit of 6 cores per physical processor. With ESXi this change and you have now no more limits on processors and carrots, but you are limited to 32 GB of RAM for each host.
In your case, an inexpensive alternative to the free edition could be licensed vSphere Essentials including 1 instance of vCenter Server and processor licenses for up to 3 guests with 2 processors each. With this edition, the right of vRAM (sum of memory for VMs lit on all hosts) is 196 GB. In addition, with this license, you would be able to use the features of vCenter Server as for example 3rd party backup applications.
