RedHat 64-bit P2V for VMWare Fusion

I need to convert a 64-bit RedHat Linux virtual physical machine, and I installed the vCenter Converter Standalone software, both on the Linux machine so that a Windows machine I have practice.  The converter on the Windows machine is able to connect, and then select the Linux as a Source, but then I get to the Destination option and he asks me a destination server.  I read in the user's guide:

NOTE for P2V of Linux, the only destination supported conversion tasks is a product of VMware Infrastructure Virtualization.

Is it simply not possible to get since Linux merger?  Or can I install a 'product of VMware Infrastructure Virtualization' temporarily for the purpose of creating a virtual machine, then copy the virtual machine to a Mac running Fusion?

It's probably hardware not supported.

I have not personally used platespin, so I don't know if it can go directly to the Fusion 2/3 (or Workstation 6.5.x)

Kind regards

  • Update license key OEM for vmware fusion

    I'm moving from a windows7 (64-bit Home Premium) to a Mac Book. I want to import my old PC as a virtual machine using VMware fusion.

    I am trying to determine what is necessary from the point of view license.

    The original license is OEM so I think that it may have an update - is just a case of getting a new license key?

    I tried the update by using the update at any time of mechanism, but this no longer works

    How can I get the appropriate license change to allow me to get the installed virtual machine?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Thank you for your reply and sorry for the late reply.

    You can follow the procedure referred to in article of VMware Fusion below to migrate your system of operating existing for Windows 7 to your new MacBook.

    Migrate a physical PC existing to a Virtual Machine.

    http://pubs.VMware.com/Fusion-4/index.jsp?topic=/com.VMware.fusion.help.doc/GUID-51A50557-6473-4053-81EC-9ACB40300FBD.html

    After that, get Windows 7 successfully migrated you will need to purchase a new license Windows 7 key (rightly underlined André Da Costa, OEM licenses are linked to all first computer, you install and activate Windows on).

    You need to activate your migration to Windows 7 operating system with the new license key.

    You don't need to reinstall Windows 7 when you migrate your operating system on a new computer through VMware.

    Warning: using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • A product key from an old computer can be used for vmware fusion on a new mac?

    We used to own a Dell computer with windows XP Professional OS. Lately, we have switched all of our Mac computers and no longer use the old windows computer. I have the product key for this OS and I was hoping to use the CD of windows XP on VMware fusion and relocation (in order to play video games). So far, the installation was almost a success until it would not accept the old operating system product key. Is there a way to get a new product key?
    PS The only purpose is for the PC games we have.

    can I get another free product key? I still have the old computer

    you need to know if the old pc had an O E M version of windows, because

    windows OEM versions are locked to the motherboard of the PC they where first installed at.

    If the product key you have is from a version marketed Windows (non oem) you can install the version on another pc if you take away the first pc.

    in other words, a version on a pc at the same time.

    You should check with the microsoft Web site dealing with pirated software and product keys.

  • Separate partition for VMWare Fusion

    Is it a good idea to put a disk/partition separated to install VMWare Fusion and Windows? I'm trying to separate on an Apple iMac programs and by Fusion/Windows programs and data.

    Thank you

    Felix

    How you want to manage your host file system of the disk is really up to you and a Virtual Machine is nothing more then a set of files on the file system of the host and are under normal circumstances essentially autonomous.  It you do not call options like VMware Shared Folders and more particularly mirrored folders and files created by an application in the OS of the Virtual Machine are separate and apart from the files created by applications on the host computer as they are stored in disk files hard (hard) within the entire Virtual Machine virtual.  For reference, take a look on: work with Virtual Machine packages

    That said, I personally keep my Virtual Machines on another physical partition of the hard drive of the host or a separate hard drive from the hard drive of the host completely OS.  Basically I have what it takes to be able to restore my OS host partition separately from my drive/Partition/Volume data only when user / as appropriate.

  • best way to get XP for vmware fusion

    I have vmware fusion 3.1.3 on macbook pro. I currently have a virtual machine, I installed win 2K Server. too old, too big. I need to get xp and do an installation. I tried to make a snapshot of the existing machine, but seemed to make mistake on the OEM version and wants me register and pay as the new. I have a win 7 pro machine, I guess I could try to make instant, but I was wondering if v3.1.3 will even run that? So, what is the best way to way (see below) to get a XP installation for my installation of vmware fusion run? Fiscally constrained, won't be upgrading to fusion or pay retail for XP anytime soon.

    It will be VERY difficult to get copies of legitimate retail XP more.  Most of the things on eBay is also OEM, which is not available for use of the VM.

    Do not forget that you must purchase a license of said too (the version on the existing machine is probably an OEM version too).

    Why not just buy Win7 on amazon or costco?

    The only other option is a sort of MSDN license, but these licenses cannot be used for production purposes.

  • No Win7 x 64 drivers for VMWare Fusion bridge or a NAT?

    New Snow Leopard Mac, new installation of Boot Camp of Win7 x 64 professional. All drivers install; works very well. Then I install VMWare Fusion 3.0 and tell him to pick up my Boot Camp partition. This works. Install VMWare Tools; This works.

    But the ethernet controller will not be installed in Win7.

    I have uninstall the device from Device Manager and reboot, not good. I move from NAT to bridged and don't reboot, no good. I switch back, no good. I go OS type of XP and restart, not good. I switch back to Win7 x 64 and restart, not good. I switch back to NAT and restart, not good. I mount the CD of VMware tools in Win7 and I have Windows search for drivers controller ethernet, not good. I can not get the networking between the two machines to work.

    What can I try next?

    Thank you very much.

    What is happening is that the virtual machine is probably failing to an AMD PCnet NETWORK eCard interface, for which neither Windows 7 nor VMware Tools has a driver for x 64 hosts. The type of virtual NETWORK adapter appropriate for the guest operating system is a device for Intel E1000 - Windows 7 provides out of the box.

    Ensure that the vmx for your virtual machine file has the following line in

    ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".

  • Win7 switching to Parallels Desktop 4 for VMWare Fusion 2 under Snow Leopard

    Hi guys,.

    I moved my Windows 7 install Parallels to Fusion, but when I go into the Device Manager, it mentions an unknown Ethernet controller and a unknow SCSI controller. I have no network on the virtual machine, which is bad, since it's my Office desktop environment. What can I do to reinstall the NIC to a working state? When I click on it, say update driver and driver search, he found nothing. I also tried the VMWare Tools for editing and let him use the CD, but no luck it no more.

    See you soon

    Nik

    It seems to me that the conversion of Parallels set up Fusion for the type to PCnet NIC. You should not need to hack around to try to find a driver for Windows 7 PCnet. Instead, try to force the virtual network adapter to be a type of map NETWORK Intel e1000 (IIRC is the default value for a virtual Vista computer). Change virtual machine (with closed merger) .vmx file, and either a) add this line, or b) change a line beginning with ethernet0.virtualDev to match:

    ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".

    and see if Windows detects the card and it combines a driver.

  • Converter do P2V for VMware Server 1.0 x?

    Hello, when trying to convert a physical Machine in VMware Server 1.0.x (correct 1.0.x, not 2.x, what's next) - is - it possible with "VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0.1?

    Whenever he tries to convert a physical computer running Linux (Debian), it does not allow a change in the type of destination (it is assumed that 'Server VMware Infrastructure' and does not have a drop-down menu to change the type of destination).

    Should an older version be used?  It is available for download?

    Any guidance would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance

    Looks like this guest OS are not supported on vmware Server 1.0 x...

    What is comments that you want to convert... Let me know... see if I can get any device to down load and tet my lab...

  • Windows 7 on VMware Fusion

    I scoured some trail and error to install Windows 7 on my Virtual Machine. But after giving him a well-founded logical thought that I have accomplished the task. Most frequent concerns resulting was with SCSI controller problems. AFET overcome only by downloading files from the website of VMware and install in the folder C: / drive on my virtual Arena I could select it driver in the Windows 7 Installations pane and continue with the installation of the operating system.

    However, I also had to ensure that the VMware Tools was up-to-date inorder to some hardware problems correct. However, there is always this problem with my computer internet setting virtual driver.

    First of all you need not download any drivers SCSI from VMware to install Windows 7, if you do it right.

    If by chance it was a Machine virtual Windows XP you upgraded to Windows 7 well you should not have wasted your time because Windows XP is not directly upgraded to Windows 7 and since it is a Virtual Machine, all you have to do is just to cross the new VM Wizard by selecting the version of Windows using your and if you use upgrade media then use the information contained in "[clean install Windows 7 with upgrade Media | ]. "[http://www.winsupersite.com/Win7/clean_install_upgrade_media.asp]" to the install/activate.  I use 2 method successfully.

    If it's an upgrade, you can then delete the virtual Windows XP Machine after you have saved your user data and you have Windows 7 running.  CTR-click simply the target virtual machine on the Machine's virtual library and select Delete.

    If you want to transfer files and settings, then take a look on:

    Windows Easy Transfer for transferring from Windows XP (32 bit) to Windows 7

    Or

    Windows Easy Transfer for transferring from Windows XP (64 bit) to Windows 7

    =========

    In any case as ' However there is always this problem with fixing my VM internet pilot. "if it was an XP upgrade then this would explain and you need to change the Type of operating system to Windows 7 or Windows 7 x 64 and it can make the Virtual Machine library.  You also remove the network card under the parameters of the Virtual Machine, and then add again.  Note that you must do this with stop the Virtual Machine, not suspended.

    Otherwise, take a look at the collection of information for VMware Fusion and archive and attach a copy of the configuration as well as the vmware.log file .vmx file.

  • BB10 Simulator square locked screen aspect ratio on VMware Fusion/Mac

    Having a problem with the BlackBerry 10 Alpha Simulator Beta for VMware Fusion 10.1 Dev / Mac OS X 10.8.2. The Simulator screen is locked to a square aspect ratio and cannot be resized. I tried to make full screen, change the zoom, which extends through OS X window, and the virtual machine upgrade, but the aspect ratio remains. See screenshot below:

    This makes it a problem with our Android app worn, which is completely chewed on that square screen. The entire half bottom of the app is cut off.

    On VMware Player for Windows, the screen appears like a normal phone screen:

  • A license for VMWare Player?

    I saw the deal for VMWare Fusion for Mac includes a commercial license for VMWare player, so I was wondering, if I buy VMWare Fusion can I use the VMWare Player on my Windows machine license or is there a better way for me to get a commercial version of VMWare player without having to actually buy VMWare Workstation?

    lzrelak wrote: I saw the deal for VMWare Fusion for Mac includes a commercial license for VMWare player

    No, VMware Fusion for Mac does not include a license for VMware Player it's VMware Fusion 5 Professional, which includes the license for VMware Player for commercial use.

    so I was wondering, if I buy VMWare Fusion can I use the VMWare Player license on my Windows machine

    With VMware Fusion 5 professional, Yes

    is there a better way for me to get a commercial version of VMWare player without having to actually buy VMWare Workstation?

    To use VMware Player commercially, buy VMware Fusion 5 license Professional even one chooses or can even use VMware Fusion 5 Professional.  It comes through a convoluted cross-license that VMware has not done a very poor job of marketing and or explain and caused a lot of confusion among some users trying to interpret.

  • Upgrade to VMware-Fusion - 2.0.4 Miss / Don ' t Bother downloading

    I just downloaded "VMware-Fusion - 2.0.4 - 159196 - light .dmg" and tried to update from version 2.0.2.  Installation crashes immediately and is unable to make further progress.  View installation journal suggests that the Setup program is unable to unload the previous kernel extensions after what the installation stops.  Below you will find my attached log file.  I tried twice and each time produces the same result.  The second time was after a clean reboot, and the first thing I did was to try to install vmware.  Also, I guess it's the same for the light version (the version without anti-virus indigestion).  Since this is the second upgrade of vmware fusion in ten days, I guess that there was a problem with 2.0.3?  No change log has been validated for 2.0.4, so there is no way of knowing what he's trying to hard.  Maybe it is necessary to upgrade to 2.0.3 before upgrade to 2.0.4, however, this has not been the case in earlier versions of vmware fusion.  Since I'm upgrading directly from 2.0.2, maybe someone else can tell us in the comments if upgrading from 2.0.3 works.  My suggestion is to wait until 2.0.5 before the upgrade because 2.0.4 seems dead on arrival.

    So I suggest to uninstall Fusion 2.0.2 or what version you have installed, restart and install Fusion 2.0.4 Alternatively, remove the "/ Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vmware.launchd.vmware.plist" file and restart then Fusion kernel Extensions and the VMware virtual network will not be loaded and then try to install however I would just uninstall, reboot and install and do with it , because it is simply not a big deal and takes a few minutes.

  • Don't know password for the new installation of Windows 7 Ultimate on VmWare Fusion

    I bought Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and installed on my MAC OS X machine in VmWare Fusion of an image file provided by the seller of Windows 7.  However, when I start the merger, there is a 'user' set up account, and it asks for a password. Typing in anything doesn't work, or 'guest', 'user' or 'password '.  So I can't past the login screen.

    What can I do?

    That was my mistake, and I 'found' the password trying my MAC password.  This was extracted automatically, or if I entered during installation without remembering, I don't know.  In all cases, it is resolved.

    I can't mark my own reply as 'Reply', nor can I delete this question :-(
