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.

  • Problems of mouse after the conversion of a hard drive file virtual Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 for ESXi 3.5

    Today I used VMWare Converter 3.0.3 to convert a file evaluation VHD Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 (Virtual Server 2005) ESXi 3.5. It seems to work without error. However, I have a pending issue. In other words, based on the results of pilot of "VMware Pointing Device" in my being rooted at the bottom right of the Virtual Console of the mouse. The mouse buttons seem to work, but the mouse itself will not move. I have VMware Tools installed and that you have reinstalled them several times, just in case. If I change the mouse driver to the driver "mouse Compatible PS/2", it works, sort of. It moves around the screen and the same slides perfectly in and out of the console window, as you'd like. However, it is jerky. Hardware acceleration is maximum. The video driver and all the other features seem to work perfectly.

    I converted a Windows 2008 VHD and it worked well.

    If I do a new installation of Windows 2003, it works perfectly, mouse and all. If the problem seems to be limited to a hard drive Windows 2003 virtual conversion. I don't have a Windows 2003 machine to test if the importation which would have the same bug or not.

    A very similar discussion was due in a previous thread several years ago http://communities.vmware.com/thread/36507.

    Any help to fix this annoying bug would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Normally uninstall us the services that we believe may conflict with VMware devices (such as mouse), so that these problems do not occur. But just to be sure, it would be nice if you could 'uninstall' as suggested CONTINIUM and see if that makes a difference. An only problem here, is that you will not be able to uninstall the present of the VMware VM and you may need to uninstall this VS VM before proceeding with the conversion.

  • VMware Converter 4.0 and Virtual Server 2005 R2 VM

    I downloaded the new VMware Converter (Version 4.0.0) because he had promised for the merger as a target.

    I have the image of Sharepoint 2007 VIrtual demonstration of Microsoft Server which works OK using Virtual Server.

    The converter seems to be a valid VMware image on the PC where I run the converter.

    I copy the VMware HD image created on my external Mac (OS X 10.5.6 Fusion 2.0.1) and merge it opens but there are questions.

    1 fusion think that the virtual machine is an 'other' OS rather than Microsoft Server 2003 Enterprise, which is what the VM from virtual server. Therefore, I can not install VMware tools on the virtual computer.

    2. If I change the type of operating system in the interface of Fusion Server 2003 Enterprise settings and that seems ok. Then, I am able to install tools in VMware Fusion.

    3. after the required reboot to complete the installation of the tools, the VM comes back BUT the mouse pointer is no longer visible. The virtual machine makes it unusable at this point.

    I remember posting on this forum awhile at the time where I realized first that the virtual server instance could be opened with a PC version of the workstation and I remember reading while the mouse pointer is a problem.

    So is there anything, I can do to get the Fusion tools installed AND have a working mouse pointer?

    Any help appreciated.

    Jim

    Yes, it is removed from the control panel and you can try on virtual machine converted however, it may not work.  As before you convert you can do anyway that you presented.  I like to make a copy and use it as I want to do some other preprocessing and then I just remove it when I'm done leaving the original intact, but whatever way works for you is fine.

  • Virtual Center can run on SQL Server Express

    Hi, I currently have Virtual Center running on SQL Server 2005 Standard.  I would like to move databases to SQL Server Express.  Virtual Center run on SQL Server Express?  Y at - there any restrictions that I can hit?  We run ESX 4.X and a few 50 VM environment.

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    the limitation to Express is 5 guests and 50 VM.  However, the biggest concern may be the restriction of size of 4 GB of your DB.  May I ask why if you are already running on the standard 2005 would return you Express?

    Thanks, I solved this problem. This program installs 32-bit as the default value in the path of the folder. This is why it does not work when everyone works beginning... But there is a solution for this topic...

    Exactly the solution:
