• 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.

• Can I run Virtual PC Vista Home host and Server 2008 R2 comments?

  I am running Windows Vista family in a workstation with 2 GB of RAM, 1.2 Ghz Intel Core Duo. I would like to run Virtual PC to install Windows Server 2008 R2. What do you think it will work ok?

  Thank you.

  You * can *-really, the question is "Why would you?" because the server would be limited (severely) by bothe, VPC restrictions and those of the home edition. This is a configuration of (very) not supported.

  So not the areas and very limited display features.

  Many of you also on the low side of the RAM in the configuration or vice versa - I recommend at least 3 GB so that you can didicate at least 1 GB at the prompt, and still have room to move around in the host. You can allocate the guest at best - even if WIn7/ServerR2 is less expensive RAM than Vista.

• Download Virtual Server 2005 or 2008 for a Windows Vista Home Premium x 64?

  I am new to computers and I am not informed on a lot of what happens, I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 and I want to download MS Virtual Server 2005 R2 or 2008 version, I downloaded the 2008 or thought I did, but I couldn't find it in the files he had an icon on my desktop. I went back and unfortunately he's said anything it would download on Vista Home Premium OS, I found that it would work on a XP SP2 and I was wondering if I can download that and then download the server 05 ' or ' 08? Where can I get XP SP2?  Apparently it don't load Windows 7 is this true?

• Need more disk space to run virtual machines on R710 server with no available drive slots

  Hello

  We have a server R710 with five $2.5 146 each and three 600 GB SCSI disks SCSI.  We have no more slots.

  We want another 2-4 TB of space.   This server is used to run virtual machines to test software applications.  We have need for decent speed, but more important still need a cost-effective solution for running virtual machines.

  The budget would be in the $1000 range give or take.  I might be able to get $3000, but a $10,000 would be too.  We could consider removing disks from 146 GB 5 and replacing them with those larger, but that might not be the first choice.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  What you ask for is really difficult to do within the budget without sacrificing important performance (from what you have right now in performance).

  Any external storage solution (Dell) is out of the question for $3 k (think MD1200/1220).

  The market, 2.5 "drives max out at 1 TB at 7200 RPM, 900 tr/10 k or 300 GB @ 15 k RPM.

  Dell has disks 1 to 7200 RPM 2.5 "company (for PowerEdges) for ~ $440 (see here). These are not the best choice if you want any kind of good performance.

  You might look into upgrading to 900GB 10 k rpm drives. These run $799 each today on the Dell website (see here).

  If you replace one of the 146 both each and let rebuild you could then use the extra space to another virtual disk. This would give about 2800GB.

  If you can't budget 5 of them, according to the current setup of raid, you can watch a backup and restore of the virtual disk of some 146.

  You could:

  -use 2 of the existing 146 in raid 1 for operating system and the extra space

  -use 3 x 900 in raid 5 (which would give a crude 1800 (Go so ~ 1674 usable))

  -Use the 3 600 existing RAID 5 (which would give ~ 1116 GB usable)

• Virtual run Win Server 2008, Enterprise Edition on ESXI 4

  Hi all

  I have MS Windows 2008 Enterprise Server that allows up to 4 Windows servers to run as VMs using the same VM license key. Can I run the server of Windows 4 VM on ESXi 4 platform using the same VM license key? I think that if MS allows the VM 4 of to run on their Hyper V Server 2008 then I am able to run the VM on ESXi 4, using the license key a VM.

  Thanks in advance.

  VinnyP

  I think that it's evolving especially with Hyper-V now.  I think that there are some differences between people licenses but I'm the last Q / A on the virtual FAQ which is -

  Q. Windows Server 2008 virtualization licensing fees apply when used with non-Microsoft software virtualization technologies?

  A. Yes. Usage rights apply regardless of the virtualization product used. However, other than Microsoft software virtualization technologies are not supported by Microsoft. For more information about support policies, please see the following articles of the basis of knowledge Microsoft (KB):

  I take that to mean licensing concepts apply whether you're running Hyper-V, ESX, Virtual PC or work/VM Workstation Server

  Who knows with Microsoft, however, their reasoning is completely stupid and obviously tax based without thinking about anything through.

• 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.

• 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.
