• I need to run a virtual machine, hyper v on my windows machine 8 with workstation 10

  I know that I can run a virtual machine in hyper v in v hyper customer, my question is if I turn the functionality hyper v on this will affect my 10 workstation install?

  As far as I know, that you can no longer start the vmx86 kernel driver once the HyperV role is activated.
  In previous HyperV versions that you could use a special startup parameter to disable the HyperV role for the next boot - so that you can run Workstation - but I don't know if it still works.

  So to summarize: HyperV and workstation cannot co-exist and be used one after the other - at the very least a reboot is required

• Definition of reserves on the running JAVA Virtual machines

  I recently came across an overview of VMware performance that had a page essentially recommending reservations memory setting for the running Java virtual machines (see table). We have Java environments and did not have performance problems or complaints so, I doubt that I would implement any changes. However, I am curious to know if it's even a better practical recommendation, I could not put the date on the document so I wanted to see if someone had updated or current information for vSphere 4.X, 5.X environments.

  In General, we only use reservations memory to avoid the overhead administrative and operational increased. If we have never not a necessity, I prefer to use reservations to pool resources rather than granular level VM reservations.

  In my opinion, if you use the reservations are a regularity no exception in your environment, then you can use these rules.  That said, if you don't have no problem, I wouldn't change anything.  I've also linked a new document below.

• All of a sudden can only run a virtual machine on a workstation to 12G, used to be able to run at least three

  After years of use of my computer, I have a problem suddenly as the likes of which I've never seen elsewhere.  On a machine that was able to run three virtual computers, I now get error messages when I try to run more than one.

  The message I get is displayed as an attachment.  It indicates only 1192 MB is available for the second virtual machine, I try to run.  See error message when you try to run a second virtual machine.png

  The preferences that I set myself for VMWare Workstation show until 9210 MB should be available for virtual machines.  See the preferences.png workstation.

  Who is running when I try to launch a second is set to use 2 GB.  See machine running virtual preferences.png

  Resource monitor shows also that it should be 5376 available MB.

  I'm puzzled.  What could happen?  How can I solve this?

  I am running 8.0.1 build-528992.

  find your config.ini file
  Win7: C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini
  XP and 2003: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini

  and change or add these 2 lines
  prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = "FALSE".
  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = '0 '.

  These settings should allow you to assign 12 GB of RAM or more for your virtual machines
  If this is not the case - I would switch to 7.1.4

• How can I transfer a file from the operating system to a backup of the production running VM virtual machine?

  Problem:  After I do a backup one using ghettoVCB on a local VMFS volume, I have a virtual machine that I can start something happened to that running.  However, sometimes I just need a file from the OS level, which means that I would need to start to get them, but then I have an IP address conflict.  I can't imagine a way to have the NICs turned off and still be able to move the file.  If I change the IP addresses, the software that I need to create the file that I need to transfer no longer works because, although there no need of constant connectivity to the seller, it is locked to the public IP address.

  Material:  I have two 4 ESXi hosts to work, each with local VMFS volumes.  They share a private vlan common and a vlan common public.  They each ssh, ftp, wput, wget, and rsync available.  I have a Windows 2003 Server VM which also hosts a NFS and the VI client and other VMWare tools.  It also has private and public interfaces as do virtual machines that would be to make and receive the OS files.

  Question:  How can I transfer a file from the operating system to a backup of the production running VM virtual machine?

  Thank you!

  Yes Mr President, make sure you set the network on this virtual machine to be connected to the 'Internal' vswitch, you set up before turning the power on to the virtual machine.

• Running MS Virtual Server 2005 on XP Guest OS ESXi 4.1

  I'm trying to run some microsoft Server 2008 training VM lab files that were designed to run on Windows XP and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2.

  The specs of my computer Dell Precision 490 are as below:

  -8 GB DDR2 RAM

  -2 x 80 GB 10 000 RPM hard drives

  -2 x E5160 Xeon 3 GHz processor

  -VT turned on in the BIOS

  I installed ESXi 4.1 U1 for Dell computers and the installation was successful.  Then I downloaded the vSphere Client and proceeded to create a client Windows XP SP3 OS with 3 GB of RAM and 2 carrots.  The prompt of Windows XP works perfectly well.  So I installed .NET framework and MS Virtual Server 2005 R2 Enterprise on the computer.

  Then I configure microsoft VM Labs.  The MS VM charger starts very well. However, when I start up a virtual computer in Virtual Server, it takes a long time for her to POST and see after the POST to BIOS screen just blanks out eventually and I waited 1/2 hour and never completed startup.

  My question is if ESXi 4.1 supports another product of the virtual machine running in a guest OS?  Is there any configuration change, that I need to do to get this Setup working?

  I also tried to do the same thing on XenServer 5.6 SP2 and it freezes completely the guest operating system XP when I start up a virtual computer in Virtual Server 2005.  I also tried these files before on a portable Windows XP x 86 with Core2Duo T7100 and 3 GB of RAM DDR-667 with VT turned on in the BIOS, loaded fine laboratories and the performance was reasonable.

  Thanks for any help.

  To run nested virtual machines, you must configure the external VM to use hardware-assisted virtualization.  The execution mode by default for 32-bit Windows XP on some platforms is binary translation.  Please change the execution mode privileged for your guests 'VT - x or AMD - V' XP 'VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR,"depending on your platform.  See also VMs of nested running.

• When windows update is running on my machine (and updates), my screen goes down to 1024 x 768.

  When windows update is running on my machine (and updates), my screen goes down to 1024 x 768.  I have a HD card of ATI all-in - Wonder and an Acer X203H LCD with DVI connection.  If I use system restore to go back, I can get higher resolutions, but Windows does its thing and I'm back at low resolution.  I can't change the settings manually as 1024 watch as the highest res available to the general public when this happens.  There must be some weird conflicts.  I tried to update the drivers, that made no difference.  Is there a setting Aero or the conflict at stake here?  In the past, I've had trouble with a display of balnk and I had to go back to the 2008 version of the driver to get things to work.  From there, whenever I update, I can keep high resolution, but after the last windows update (security of IE8 and much smaller pack that was released on March 28-30), it dates back to 1024 x 768 again.  Control Panel and catalyst control the two show that as more high resolution available for refresh rate. Suggestions?

  Change your update settings to find the problem, we > then right-click on > hide.

  Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista

  Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Vista will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

  Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

• Back of Paradox run under virtual/xpmode machine, cannot operate

  I can run Paradox 4.0 (Dos) with Dosbox on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit computer. It works very well for almost all the features, but I'll also have to be able to print reports on a Laser USB printer. I can print some reports compared to the (format Doc or Qpw) file and then open it with Word or Quattro respectively.

  Dosprn tried but this does not seem to connect to or be recognized by the Dosbox.

  I'm currently all work tables conversion of the paradox of access, but should continue to use the paradox back for a few months more.

  As in the title, I tried to run the paradox under Machine/virtual XP mode, but could not enforce.

  Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

• Using vmrun to obtain an IP address when you run the virtual machine mode headless fails customers

  Operating system: OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

  VMware Fusion: Professional Version 8.1.1 (3771013)

  When you run a VM guest in headless mode I can't use vmrun to get IP clients. If I eventually bring to the top/start the merger GUI, the command returns the IP address as planned. It is always reproducible.

  $ vmrun -T fusion start "path/to/MyVMs.vmx" nogui
  2016-06-12T10:55:46.626| ServiceImpl_Opener: PID 11515
  
  ... wait for VM to come up. If the VM has a static IP address I can now ssh into the instance.
  
  $ vmrun -T fusion getGuestIPAddress "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
  Error: The VMware Tools are not running in the virtual machine: "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
  
  $ vmrun -T fusion checkToolsState "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"

  $ vmrun -T fusion getGuestIPAddress "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
  192.168.100.23
  

  I tested with open-vm-tools and tools VMware packaged with the merger and the behavior is the same. I also spoke with others on the channel of freenode #vmware who have confirmed that the problem exists for users of workstation as well.

  Hi danandham,

  Welcome in the vmware community. Iyou s really a problem, we try to fix it.

  After a command, you can use as a workaround:

  vmrun t fusion getGuestIPAddress "path/to/MyVMs.vmx" - wait

• The verification of license application that runs on a machine virtual vmware.

  Hello!

  I'm sorry for my bad English.

  There is an application with the license related to the material. A computer - a license.

  As a general rule, a check of the license is:

  

  1. the application scans materials.

  2. the application collects information about the material and preparing an application for license availability.

  3. the application sends a request to check the availability of the license.

  4. the license server receives the request and returns a response. The application receives a response from the license server and active features.

  However, if the program is on the virtual machine - collection of information about the hardware fails.

  

  I could not configuration information physical server as the default methods do not do.

  Call to the hypervisor allows to collect statistics, but it is not enough to generate demand for the presence of licenses.

  

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  There are therefore 2 questions:

  How within the virtual machine, you can get information about configuring physical server?

  How can I implement the license related to the equipment, check if the program is running on a virtual machine?

  
  

  Thank you!

  The guest operating system and hypervisor can communicate with each other through the VMware vSockets.

• Run a virtual machine with a graphical interface on a host without GUI

  Hallo

  I want to install a simple Windows 7 for some tasks bit where I need Windows on my server Ubuntu 14.04. This server has no GUI (no X) and should have any.

  Already, I've installed the virtual Windows machine on my workstation to 12, so I would just copy the vmdk on my linux server and run it, maybe put something in the vmx file.

  But I do not know is that it's all means possible.

  Is it?

  Is there any player or any application for ubuntu VMware when there is no X system (on ubuntu), where I can run virtual machines with GUI inside?

  Maybe another virtualization tool, vmware not?

  I think that this exact question already somewhere, but I haven't found much question where comments lacking a GUI, but not the host.

  I need a guest-gui on a host without gui (where I have only the terminal).

  So maybe it's not possible at all, so please tell me a 'no', so I won't expect more

  Thank you to

  Frank

  EDIT: oh, this seems to be another question unanswered it is too difficult or too stupid?

  Hi Frank,.

  Now that would be stupid, having a text Installer, and then not allow the virtual machine to run. I think it should work, but you must pass the nogui option.

  Vmrun help:

  beginning

  (Supported only on teams

  Workstation.)

  Starts a virtual machine (.vmx file) or team (file .vmtm).

  The default graphical user interface option starts the machine in an interactive way,

  What is necessary to display a user interface of VMware.

  Nogui option suppresses the user interface,

  including start-up, to allow dialog box not interactive

  writing scripts.

  [gui | nogui]

  refer to the manual of vmrun: VIX API Documentation

  Edit: hmm... Now, I see that you have already tried the nogui option. You might be able to install the package libxinerama, but he could hang out in a lot of dependencies.

  FWIW, vSphere is pretty much what you describe a system not GUI to run GUI invited, so it shouldn't be a problem at all.

  Unfortunately, I don't have a host linux without X installed handy here, so can't test here without the implementation of a server without head myself.

  You can also try to run the client via the command vmware:
