• 64-bit in ESXi running in Vmware Workstation machines

  Hi all

  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W510 with an i7 processor.

  I have Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit as OS for my vmware Workstation 7.1.3 (64-bit), I install ESXi 4.1 as a virtual machine in my machine and now start importing the VM since my ESX datacenter (you want to use what I already create in data centre infrastruture in my laptop)

  I was very surprised, inside my ESXi 4.1 it says when I try to start a Windows Server 2008 R2 or trying to create an image of the installation CD to:

  Any thing I can change or change to make it work?

  You can't execute nested invited 64bits.  Autoprogramming comments any64bit hardware assisted virtualization must be enabled (VT-x/AMD-v). When you run ESX (i) as a guest, it is not possible to passdown technology.

  In conclusion, you can run 32-bit clients nested

• 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!

• Running the VCS 4 and ESX 4 and computer virtual on a PC using VMWare Workstation 7.01

  Hello

  I could not install on my PC Windows 7.01 vCenter. I was getting a "28035.Setup error". I was told that you can run vcs on a virtual machine, so I decided to create a machine virtual W2K3 just for my VCS. I have 1 VM ESX 4.0 and 1 VCS 4.0 VM on my PC. I'm using VMWare Workstation 7 to join my VM and vSphere Client on the desktop. How can I run VCS? Normally, it will show on vShere customer. Do I need to reinstall from the CD of vCenter? Any ideas? Thank you.

  When I try to add my vcs on the domain controller server

  I don't understand exactly what you are trying to add?

  Basically, what you need to run a test environment is:

  -a domain with DNS controller and - if you want - DHCP

  -Member Server windows on which you are installing vCenter Server

  -one or more host ESX (i)

  On your client, you must install the vSphere Client and connect to the server vCenter Server by using your credentials of the AD. Using the vSphere Client, you can add hosts ESX(I) and your installation configuration.

• Tolls of VMware running within esx 4.0 running on workstation 6.5

  Hi all

  I am running vmware esx 4 as a virtual machine in vmware 6.5 wrkstation.

  When you try to install vmware tools within the esx, after installation, I can't configure. That's what he said.

  The installation of the vmware tools 7.8.5 build 156735 completed successfully.  Before you run Vmware tools for the first time, you must configure it by invoking the following command. "/ usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want the program to call the order for you now

  I hit enter and it says so in a few seconds. "This Setup must be run in a virtual machine. Execution interrupted.

  How can do us? He does not like a VM esx

  Thank you

  The system requirements to run nested VMS opposes using the external virtual machine tools.  If you delete "monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = TRUE" since the external virtual machine configuration file, you should be able to install the external virtual machine tools.  However, VMs nested is not functioning properly in this configuration.

  There is no version of VMware tools for ESX. The release of VMware tools for Linux may or may not work in the console ESX OS.

• Vmrun can be used to remotely control the vmware workstation?

  Hello

  I have VMWare WorkStation installed 10.0.1 on a Windows machine 7 Professional 64-bit. I created a few virtual machines using this workstation. Can I control these virtual machines from another machine (say Windows7 another machine or machine Ubuntu) using vmrun?

  I went through the help of vmrun and some discussions on the forums, but all the current point of execution vmrun against a local workstation or a remote server.

  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Ravi

  It looks like VC ESXi and VMware Server (discontinued) are what can be managed remotely.

  I just ssh into the host and run vmrun like that.  On a host Windows use OpenSSH for Windows.

• VMware® Workstation 8.0.4 you will only be able to run 32-bit nested vMs

  HI people,

  I did a forum search tried a few things suggested previously, but not joy.

  I get this error message

  Virtualized intel VT - x /EPT is disabled for this machine virtual esx
  you will only be able to run 32-bit nested vMs

  =================================

  The host OS is Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition, 64-bit 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2

  VMware® Workstation 8.0.4 build-744019

  
  The server is an HP ml350 g5 zeon 5420 cpu quad core server

  
  history esx 5i was installed on bare metal, I formatted and installed server 2008 x 64 sp2

  
  the bios is the last

  and these bios options are set

  Intel VT enabled,
  and no. execute activated too memory.

  ==============

  I understand that when these changes are made to the host should be recycled to power...

  
  This bios like many others after record changes usually f10, the changes are made and this server restarts

  is this normal?

  don't know what means VMware by power cycle

  I have disabled you options to see if I get an error that I saw the jpeg format

  (called) when the vt is disabled in the bios

  He talks about power cycle the host,

  I have the new option that was just to see if the vmworkstation was reacting to the bios actullaly.

  It has been.

  ============================================================

  
  all this should be good as the tool VMware-comments 64check - 5.5.0 - 18463

  =============================

  I installed vmware workstion 8.0.4 on windows 2008 x 64 sp2 build-744019

  then I installed esxi 5 all right

  under custom options for the CPU, I chose Intel VT - x or Amd - V
  ==================================

  
  but when I opened esxi 5

  I get the error message #.

  Virtualized intel VT - x /EPT is disabled for this machine virtual esx
  you will only be able to run 32-bit nested vMs

  
  so I tried this

  
  Add the following line to C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini:

  hv.assumeEnabled = 'TRUE '.

  I also put this line

  hv.assumeEnabled = 'TRUE '.

  C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\VMware\preferences.ini

  
  but still the same question after stop downs and restarts too

  I stop the physical server and restarts too

  My query

  These settimgs are supposed to be done in the two files above and in brackets ""

  must they be carried out before the esxi is actually installed in the workstation 8 or after.

  The ideas people?

  I have tried several combinations but no joy...

  so with the options checked in workstation should it work,.

  (I tried it did not work)

  I don't know if I still need the lines edited in two places during the use of this option?

  and should it be done before that Esxi is installed in the workstation 8?

  or is the line of editing out of place now?

  Line editing is not relevant for your situation, since your CPU does not have the characteristics necessary for the virtualization of hardware support virtualized.

  If this server supports Esxi 5 bare metal because it was installed when I got it...

  First option get a processor that supports the corrrectly but if Intel specs are misleading where should I start... ???

  under kernel options for this doc of quickspecs ML350 g5 Server

  There are a variety of processors. any suggestions on one. ?

  http://h18000.www1.HP.com/products/QuickSpecs/12475_na/12475_na.html#core%20Options

  ========================

  None of these processors will help.  You need at least a CPU E55xx for HV virtualized.

  Option 2) now on this bare metal Esxi 5 with this current processor can I install 64-bit clients? (guess I'll try soon) but I would like to know... all ideas welcome...

  Yes, no problem.

  should I just particularly setttings in ESXi5?

  All the options for me to set up a laboratory for vsphere upward with this as is, or with the new processor?

  IMHO if not I could use 2 of these physical servers if I can get another assumption, that he would need to be the same?

  to try they full of features of vsphere. like HA, Vmotion etc.

  No, he would not have to be identical.  No matter what CPU Intel x 64 of this vintage, or later would be compatible with EVC (well well, with the exception of Atom).  You need only an identical processor for tolerance to failures.

• Comments from 64-bit running with binary translation - VT not?

  I was under the impression that with Intel processors, it was not possible to run the operating system client 64-bit without VT hardware support.

  First of all, is that correct?

  If so, when watching an ESX 4.1 run a virtual machine with Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) from what I can tell of the log files it does work without VT and instead to use binary translation?

  Is it possible, or read the wrong vmware.log file do?

  10:58:29.136 20 August: vmx | MONITOR MODE: enabled modes: BT32 HV

  10:58:29.136 20 August: vmx | MONITORING MODE: user requested modes: BT32 HV HWMMU

  10:58:29.136 20 August: vmx | MONITORING MODE: guestOS favorite modes: HWMMU BT32 HV

  10:58:29.137 20 August: vmx | MONITORING MODE: filtered the list: BT32 HV

  I think the first post on the line with 'filtered' mode to indicate the mode used. Can anyone confirm this?

  The processor is Intel XEON 5110 and in accordance with article (http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9882) it is not possible to execute 64-guests without VT and all favorite modes use VT and memory virtualization software (TPS, since the absence of EFA in the older CPU).

  I have not changed the options CPU/MMU virtualization on the virtual machine, is by default.

  So is this normal or just me be confused?

  ricnob wrote:

  In the document "software and hardware Techniques for x 86 Virtualization" (http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/software_hardware_tech_x86_virt.pdf), page 8, I found that the term BT32 is used on Intel hosts to show the difference of BT64, which won't be possible on Intel. I have no AMD to test, but the vmware.log will show just "BT" or "BT32/64"?

  AMD systems will be just "BT".

  If it's a 64-bit operating system then the passage to the long mode would probably be early enough in the boot reasonably? As with 32-bit processors started in real mode 16-bit and then move to 32-bit mode very protected early perhaps. Why the hypervisor running in mode binary translation for a few seconds? (When we know that it is a 64-bit operating system in the virtual machine)?

  I remember well, this decision was made so that customers 32 bits would be run in the preferred mode, even if the guest OS type was incorrectly specified as a 64-bit guest OS type.

  I found this online now and the "dynamic" means that it could change between software and hardware virtualization CPU if necessary?

  "Dynamic" may seem more powerful as it is.  The passage of the BT to the HV mode mode is done only once (when entering long mode), and we never switch back.  (Well, go back us to BT for some things, like the real-address mode, but it's still true mode HV.)

  1 does 64 bit VMs always start in dynamic mode is my XEON being older with slower VT?

  This is because your Xeon has long entrance-VM/VM / output latency.  HV is the beginning of default with Penryn (CPU 23 model).

  2. can I tell in the log file that the change of BT32 to VT has actually made? In other words, I thought earlier I could identify the virtualization mode through the lines of MONITOR in vmware.log, but now I know not at all!
