Power MacBook from 2016 for Windows virtual machines?

Hello

Can anyone with real experience let me know if Spring 2016 up-to-date as MacBook have the ability to run VMware Fusion and a 2 or 4 GB Windows 7 or 10 VMS?

My local Apple store have answers that are different with none of them being honest users of VMware Fusion or IT pros understand my needs to run heavy client VMware and other Windows applications not too demanding.

As a point of reference, my i7 '2011 mi' Air is sufficient. It looks like a new MacBook a faster memory and storage but perhaps not the power of the older i7.

I don't want to waste time and to return a product if it does not work well so all ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I have the new base model 2016; I got the base model 2015 too, and Windows 10 was OK under VMware.

It depends on what you want to do with your virtual machine.

However, if I were you, I prefer a 'real' basic PC, powered with Teamviewer. It's really easier, this save your battery and life SSD.

  • Upgrade VMware Tools for multiple virtual machines by power Cli

    Hello

    I'm looking to improve the tools of vmware for several virtual machines through scripts. As VM1, VM2, Vm3,... VM50.

    Update-tools-VM VM1 - NoReboot  (Applicable only for virtual machines unique sound)

    Any help will be appreciated in do I have to upgrade about 100 VMs which was migrated from ESX3.5 to ESXi4.1

    Thank you

    VMguys

    The cmdlet Update-tools has a NoReboot parameter.

    When you set this switch, normally should not be a reboot after the upgrade.

    Get-VM-name (1.50 | % {' VM$ _ "}) | Update-tools - NoReboot

    If you set the switch to $false, there will be a restart if necessary.

    Get-VM-name (1.50 | % {' VM$ _ "}) | Update-tools - NoReboot: $false

    Note that this method of first creating a table with all the names of the virtual machine you want, is faster than the previous example, I gave.

    In this case you only do a Get - VM with all the names, instead of 50 individual.

  • ESXi 5 - Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.

    Hello

    I installed ESXi 5.0.0 469512 on a Dell Optiplex 755 with Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 processor @ 3 .00GHz with 4 GB of RAM. In the BIOS (version A21), I have the following options enabled:

    Performance-

    Virtualization: on

    VT for direct i/o: on

    Execution of trust: on

    Security-

    TPM security: on

    Activation of the TPM secure: assets

    Execute Disable: on

    I am unable to run any 64-bit OSs. For example, when I try to start vMA VM 5.0, I get the following Message from the Virtual Machine:

    "This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.

    Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.
    For more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152 .
    Continue without 64 bit support? »

    I ran the "processor check for 64-bit compatibility ' and if confirmed I can run 64-bit guest OS.

    I tried to add vhv.allow = "TRUE" to/etc/vmware/config, but it made no difference.

    In the vmware.log file is that it makes meantion 'virtualization software is incompatible with the long mode on this platform. Disabling longmode. "I have attached the full logfile for details.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you Paul.

    According to the log file

    Frequent: MSR 0x3a = 0x3--> currently '0011', should be 'x 1 x 1 "'.

    VT - x is not enabled (bit 0 + 2 required)

    There were other debates, where that allows "Trusted execution" cause problems. I "suggest that you configure the settings of the BIOS as follows:"

    Performance-

    Virtualization: on (assuming it's VT - x)

    VT for direct i/o: Off (unless you need it)

    Execution of trust: Off

    Security-

    The TPM secure security: Off

    Activation of the TPM secure: inactive

    Execute Disable: on

    After you change the settings, you will need to power cycle the system.

    They are there was no snapshot in snapshot Manager.

    Could you help me?

    A suspended snapshot could not be created for the virtual machine (DC) ha-data center (DC) \vm\VMware vCenter Server Appliance.

    Hello

    I found the solution.

    I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.

    and the host where the virtual machine belong was not the right time. No Ntp server has been configured.

    I did and now there works.

    I think that the problem can come from this.

  • create a dynamic group for all virtual machines

    I would like to create separate dynamic groups for all my Windows virtual machines and physical machines of my Windows.  Is it possible to do it via regular expressions?  It is not granular enough to create something like this.  We have vROps that collects a large number of settings of virtual machines as its CPU usage, use of memory and use of the network to name a few.  If I install Hyperic on those virtual machines it will collect the same measures and I'll have to duplicate the data in vROps.  So I would like to have a separate profiles for Win32, CPU, physical disk on file server, etc., for virtual machines and physical machines.  I was going to try using dynamic groups, but I don't think that Hyperic will be able to handle this.  If you have any suggestions or knowledge on this operation through dynamic groups that would be great.

    Thank you.

    In UI Hyperic access the platform in platform type choose Win32 and press the green icon. You will see all the windows.

    Now select all platforms and press the 'Group' button > add to the new group

    Good luck

  • Can join a Cluster of storage disk out of Maintenance DTS Mode to set up the profiles for a virtual machine storage policies?...

    Can join a Cluster of storage disk out of Maintenance DTS Mode to set up the profiles for a virtual machine storage policies?...


    IE can you define the rules of affinity DTS depending on how the rules of storage of profiles are configured for a virtual machine?

    In my mind it seems there is disconnect from the DTS and storage profiles.

    Thank you.

    = NOTE =.

    My lab at home, 2 organizes running ESXi 5.0

    Dv01 has

    Of startup vmfs 7200 RPM 160 G = dv01-BOOT

    Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS

    VM02 has

    Of startup vmfs 7200 RPM 160 G = VM02-BOOT

    Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS

    Vmfs 5900 RPM 2 TB = VM02-TV01

    I have (3) facility profiles of storage using 'User-defined storage Capablity' as shown below:

    (160 @ 7200 RPM SATA) boot > Boot

    Fast (160 7200 RPM SATA and 1 TB @ 7200 RPM SATA) > fast

    Slow (2 TB @ 5900 RPM SATA) > slow

    Then, I set up a storage Cluster with my local disks on dv01 (only to date)

    LocalVM disc dv01-BOOT and dv01-VMFS disk of the 'cluster of storage.

    I have a computer virtual called DC01 (HardDisk1) want to live on 'Boot' profile storage drive
    His "Non-compliant" poster according to the storage profile, it should run on drive 'boot' on dv01

    To get to this point, I put the StorageCluster in Mode of Maintenace 'DTS' and forced a sVmotion of all virtual machines off dv01-BOOT

    No disks are IO or claim of space.

    But once I take the 'DTS Maintenacne mode' STARTUP dv01 floppy is now get the DTS to return him to satisfy the storage profile (rule) I install... IE do the 'storage profile' VM complient (without doing a few externall API, the PS script or the 3rd party software calls)... ??

    Seems weird it is (or may be) such disconnection of a memory of the profiles and the StorageClusters and the DTS?

    Thank you...

    At this point, I think that storage DRS and storage profiles are two technologies to separate and work independently, but what you suggest is a great idea-

  • Damaged Restore points/images for a virtual machine only

    I have a vDR 1.2 with sharing CIFS 490 GB attached to it as a backup destination.

    Whenever I save one of my VM TI-error on this issue of restoration of VM and brands it damaged when you run integrity checks the next day.

    It is only on this one (Windows 200 SP4) virtual machine. I can select for deletion, then restart the integrity check that it will remove.

    But then, once I created a new backup of the VM (which always succeeds for this virtual machine) the integrity check will mark it damaged, I do not know why, always the same VM.

    It has 3 hard drives, 5, 8 and 11 GB. I have an another win 2000 SP4 virtual machine that has no problem, the touch is the only one.

    Is it possible to create another CIFS share on the same destination and then create a one-time job that comes only backup a VM?  Then see if you still get the restore points damaged.

  • How to configure the CD driver on the host for a virtual machine?

    After you create a virture machine and put the CD of driver on host, when powered on the vertual machine, may not start the drive form the CD only from NIC.

    How to configure the CD driver on the host for a virtual machine?

    Right-click on the virtual computer and go to edit settings. Click the Options tab and under the tip list, there should be Boot Options. Enter an amount of milliseconds to wait before your boot, so you can activate the CD-ROM. You can also activate the CD even if it boots to the NETWORK card option, and then reset the virtual machine. Get the focus of this virtual machine on the console session, and then press ctrl-alt-insert. Your CD-ROM will stay connected if you do not want to delay the startup process.

  • Can I access the guest from the server OS (virtual machine)?

    Hi all

    Can I access the guest from the server OS (virtual machine)? I mean, I would also like to start and discovers a guest OS (VM) directly in the server as in VMware Server 2.0. I would also like to see the graphic on the server management console to manage virtual machines.

    Or do I always have at least two computers? For example, the server ESXi without GUI / frontend access and the client with vCenter, vInfrastructure, blah-blah-blah,...?

    Thanks for the replies!

    Best regards

    You will need the Client or another tool for access (RDP, SSH) a machine separate. ESXi is a very tiny BONES.

  • Can't see the iso files from VC to create virtual machines

    I have two Dell R805 servers attached to an AX4 - 5i Dell/EMC SAN.  With the help of Veeam FastSCP, I copied several of the iso/vmimages/tools-isoimages.  But when I use VC to change a setting for the virtual machine to use a CD ISO image, ISO appear not when I navigate to/vmimages/tools-isoimages.  How do you know if there is another "/ tools/vmimages-isoimages"?  I'm sure that the directory residing on the SAN.

    Darrell Eddy

    Hello

    /vmimages is on each ESX host that is created.

    To save on precious space on your San, why don't you install Linux or WIndows Server 2003 R2 and create NFS shares.

    You can store your ISO here and same vmtemplates.

    Is really easy to implement.

  • Affinity processor for a virtual machine

    I have a lot of CPU 8 on which I have installed ESX 3.5 U3. I also created a virtual machine Windows 2003 Server SP2 with 2 CPU is assigned to the.

    I'm trying to set the processor affinity for this virtual machine to use 2 of my physical processors. I see now on the tab Advanced CPU, I am able to select all available 8 physics of the processor. So now I'm a bit confused regarding if VMware allows scaling of my machine virtual to use all 8 CPU when my virtual machine is only 2 CPU?

    Now if the above is true, and I am to be allowed to set the affinity of the virtual machine to the all 8 CPU, then why is this maximum limit of the processor for a virtual machine is only 4? A stupid question probably but I'm really confused?  :|

    Hi confused,

    Yes, the user interface is a bit confusing. As RParker said, basically what you are doing when you assign the processor affinity are to identify the nuclei on which the vCPU is eligible to run on. At no time will be the VM scheduled to be run on carrots than what there vCPUs, so he will never have access to a capacity more than expected.

    The processor affinity is one of those features that's been around since 'the beginning' and its utility is really a bit blurred. I've heard of cases where users were running Citrix workloads configured with 2 vCPU and assigned the processor affinity for each virtual computer with the result of improving the performance. I wonder this because I never saw myself, and have a decent knowledge of how works the vmkernel Scheduler, it make much sense.

    I would encourage you (and anyone else reading this) essentially forget that the processor affinity is an option. Use it can cause significant performance degradation (if, for example, you pin a VM through two nodes NUMA, rather than keep vCPUs all in the same node) and break features (VMotion, DRS and who knows what else in the future).

    I did a search on google and find a few scenarios:

    However, I was not able to solve the problem.

    The full message is as follows:

    Fret is disabled for this virtual machine.  Shrinkage is disabled for linked clones, parents of clones related, préalloués disks, snapshots, and other factors.

    This virtual machine has definitely shrunk in front.  I tried to reinstall VMWare Tools and it does not correct.  I checked that there are no snapshots in the Snapshot Manager.  I also tried as suggested by one of the sons: adding a snapshot and then remove it.  I'm unable to the fret.  Of course, this isn't a linked clone or a parent of a linked clone (do not know how to use them).  How can I tell if it is a pre-allocated disk (I don't think it's, but who knows)?

    On the file system, the looks of the directory as follows:
