• 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.

• 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.

• Run a virtual machine or vAppliance on a VMPlayer installed on a virtual machine

  Hello

  I had to install VMPlayer 2.5.2 build-156735 on a virtual machine in the Back/restore solution. I was initially not able to install theVMplayer on a virtual machine, but I got the time this as a result of article

  http://communities.VMware.com/thread/61041

  Now, after the successful installation, I'm not able to run a virtual machine on this VMPlayer, I get an error message

  "You can't power on a virtual machine with in a virtual machine.

  I tried to run a test applainc called My NMAP.

  I will attach the vmware.log file and the vmx file.

  I don't know there must be something in the vmx file to work around this problem.

  VM host is a Windows 2003 VM with sufficient resources.

  Any ideas how to get around this problem?

  Ah.

  ESX 3.0. * does not support monitor_control.restrict_backdoor.

  ESX 3.5. * does not support monitor_control.vt32.

  ESX 4.0. * takes in charge monitor_control.restrict_backdoor, but instead of monitor_control.vt32, you must use "monitor.virtual_exec = material."

  On ESX 3.*, you should still be able to execute the nested virtual machine by adding the following configuration option to the configuration file for the internal VM:

  vmx.allowNested = TRUE
  

• Transfer of personal use of Boot Camp Virtual Machine license

  Hello!

  I bought a disc of system integrator OEM 64 - bit Windows 8 for use under the terms of the personal use license and it installed on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp.
  It turns out that the integrated graphics (Intel HD 3000) is not available in configuration dual-boot.
  so I cannot use the dedicated graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 6750 M) (for which I should apparently accused Apple, but that's off-topic anyway).
  Using the graphics card Intel (for example Quick Sync Video support) has been the reason why I chose a dual boot as opposed to a virtual machine configuration.
  Because this does not work, I will try and transfer the installation on a virtual machine in the near future.
  I understand that the personal use license does not allow me to run the two facilities (Boot Camp and VM), but do I have that right to say
  the conditions of licence it is for me to transfer the license to a virtual machine, as I have delete the partition Boot Camp of my MacBook Pro?
  Assuming the above is correct, how exactly would ensure the transfer is as painless as possible? For example:
  -AFAICT I would have to get in touch with a Microsoft Product Activation Center by phone.
  Is there a better and/or other method or is it my best bet?
  -It would be best to call before you do anything, or only after the installation of Windows in the VM (i.e. upon activation)?
  -Should what information I have ready to give Microsoft?

  That's right, simply remove the installation of Boot Camp, then you can transfer to a virtual computer and reactivate by phone:

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  Nope. activation of the phone is your only option.
  -It would be best to call before you do anything, or only after the installation of Windows in the VM (i.e. upon activation)?
  You can not, you make the call "after" you have transferred the license.

• 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"
  installed
  
  ... Start the VMware GUI and ensure the VM's console window is open
  
  $ 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

  See you soon

• 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:

• Running same virtual machine in the Lion and the snow leopard cause problems?

  I just loaded a new hard drive with Mac OS X Lion to run some programs that run only on Lion.  My Mac serves mainly through Snow Leopard installed on the main hard drive.  I can boot to an OS or the other.  Two questions:

  (1) can I have my a copy of VMware Fusion 4.1.1 installed on the disk of Lion and leopard snow by car?  Of course, I can only use one at a time since I can start only upward in an OS.

  (2) if I do the above and open my Windows XP VM on Lion, are all changes to the virtual machine that would make it unusable under Snow Leopard (or vice versa)?

  Bill

  Make sure that your VM is off - not suspended--before the host.
  Then it should work without problem

• 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

• Get a list of available hosts to run a virtual machine?

  I've searched the forums have not found the answer to this, but please let me know if I missed it. Given a virtual machine name, I would like to a list of hosts that can run on the virtual machine to output. The only way I was able to do this is a two step process and I'm trying to enter a single line:

  Assume that the name of the virtual computer is SQLVS01

  $a = foreach ($vmname in get-vmhost - vm SQLVS01) {get-cluster - vmhost $vmname}

  Check that the value of $a for example for purposes:

  $a

  Name HAEnabled HAFailover DrsEnabled DrsAutomationLe

  Level vel

  -

  ---

  -

  ---

  -

  ---

  -

  ---

  -

  ---

  True SQLCluster1 1 true FullyAutomated

  Use the name of the cluster retrieved as a parameter:

  C:\ & gt; Get-vmhost-location $b.SID

  Output shows the VMHosts in this cluster

  Name

  -

  ---

  VMHost1

  VMHost2

  .. etc...

  Any ideas? It must be easier I have do it.

  Thank you

  Ed

  How about this?

  Get - vm SQLVS01 | Get-cluster | Get-vmhost | Select name

• 2 new MBP - best installation order?  Running a virtual machine in a training camp?

  I have the arrival of two new MBP.  I had some pretty mixed feelings about VMWare fusion - I used it for 3 years now on my MBP de Santa Rosa.  I ended up kind of give up on this and have been broadcast on Win 7 in Bootcamp for the last year.

  Last week I tried to open Bootcamp Win7 molten - he worked thereafter, but I ended up getting a Windows 7 not genuine message.  I have authorized successfully, so the next time I have bootcamp I had to re - authorize again.  I know that this does not - as I have had to work a bit then only a few years - but it seemed to me that it was important to the order of installation.

  I want to have Win 7 will work perfectly via Bootcamp and Fusion.  I have a brand new MBP - and an ISO of Windows 7 Ultimate (with license company/serial number).  I intend to buy an another two licenses of Fusion (I suppose I'll have everyone - even if the old notebook is abandoned (is on v2), so it would be nice to be able to transfer it to my new.)  I did not need to transfer the software or settings of the old laptop - I'm happy to have a fresh (and own) start...

  It would be easier to install merge, then install Windows 7 with a fixed (pre-allocated?) size (I expect 400 GB).   I can then transform this VM of the merger in a bootcamp partition?

  I would like to avoid burning a disc - and I think that if I do a bootcamp, first of all, should be a disc.  If I need to do, can anyone recommend an ISO burning tool?  It seems to be good at making coasters while I tried before...

  Install Windows 7 via Bootcamp first, then use the tool on the homepage of the library Virtual Machine to make a Boot Camp virtual machine. Going virtual physical is not as easy to p2v. Of course, the best option is to go down v2 and get the latest version (3.1 as of this post).

  Regarding burning, disk utility should be fine.  The open, press Burn, choose image Win7 you have and then pop in a blank disc DVD-R or DVD - RW and you will be fixed.

• run multiple virtual machines on the same shared drive

  I wonder if anyone knows a way to use disks of persistent nonPersistant style to function similar to Citrix Provisioning Server.

  My company uses Terminal Server servers and wants to be able to easily update all servers at the same time.  I know that with Citrix, it is possible to have a 'master' boot drive which the other launch initially out of.  To 'Refresh' your servers, you turn them off, put to update the 'master' then restart them... and viola, all are now updated.  I want to do the same thing, just without Citrix.

  I know that I can use a non persistent disc do not save the changes, but is it possible to have launch several virtual machines off this 1 disk?  I did some research and I continue to come from the small articles/blogs referring to something like this, but either they don't go into the details or they do not seek to launch several virtual machines out of it.

  This is a Citrix provisioning feature. The best you can do is try related clones. They share the same basic disk.

  Do some reading that this is probably the closet for what you are looking for.

• determine which host is running a virtual machine

  We can go in the computer virtual guest operating system, directly determine which host running the VM?

  # Only way is to connect to vCenter from inside the virtual machine and see it with vSphere client or powershell.

• can we run two virtual machines simultaneously on ESXi

  Hi all

  I created two virtual machines

  1 & gt; Windows2003

  2 & gt; Red Hat Linux 5

  but I'm not able to run two machines at the same time, when I try to turn on the second machine as the other machines it works throw me error saying "resource memory Admission Control failure".

  Second thing can we export machines, we have created?

  Thank you

  You'll probably have to remove the virtual machine to add at least 600 MB - have you seen the instructions on post - http://communities.vmware.com/message/1026853#1026853.
