• Can I run a machine virtual de VMware Fusion, VMware Server 2?

  I looked at a bunch of documentation confusing but couldn't find a clear overview of what VMware Server 2 does in fact.

  I hope that I can take the virtual machines that I've created with VMware Fusion and download them on VMware Server 2 on a server somewhere and run it from there.

  Is this possible?   Is there any clear, simple documentation that indicates how to proceed?

  Thanks for any information you can give me!

  Hello

  If you run the virtual machine in fusion directly in vmware server, these are the steps to follow:

  (1) find out where are the fusion virtual machine files.

  (2) stop & remove merge (do not remove fisically hd!) virtual machine.

  (3) copy files of the virtual machine of fusion to the vmware server host (with the .vmx file and the hard should be enough) in the directory you designate as data store for vm vmware server files in the installation of vmware server.

  (4) use the "adding a virtual machine to inventory" to navigate to the file .vmx of the virtual machine that you copied before

  (5) the machine running and try. (if a question arises, you say that you copied the VM).

  Maybe you should do some additional steps as reconfigure it the virtual machine under vmware virtual network install, but there are minor and easy changes.

  Here is some information about the files that make up a virtual computer: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_learning_files_in_a_vm.html

• How to reduce the size of the virtual disks on Fusion 3.1.2 my W7 64 bit

  A few months ago, I created a DVD install a virtual machine in Windows 7 64-bit 120 GB. I never checked the disk space until a couple of weeks and now I have two hard files over 160GB with a .vmwarevm. I have never created all the files component snap so I am confused how it happened and how to fix this?  After all, a MacBook Pro's as much disk space

  OK it looks like the Virtual Machine on which you have is "/ users/dbaps/Virtual Machines.localized/Springer31.vmwarevm" and it is only using the Springer31.vmdk virtual hard disk that is in the Document Virtual Machine Package, so I can't tell you where both .vhd files of ~ 165GB come so you'll have to deal with this on your own.  You have Parallels installed at a certain time or do you have them created with Windows 7?

  If you have VMware Tools installed and no snapshots you can use VMware Tools in the OS invited to shrink the virtual hard drive and it should reduce the size of that Windows Explorer shows how much is used.

  Also, you have assigned 4 CPU cores of the Virtual Machine and over the commitment of the processor cores will slow things down so I would attribute no more then two and that you set for 1/2 of RAM to the Virtual Machine host and this of course uses more then what you have assigned, some for the purpose of merger of VMware and some video RAM so you use really ~4.4GB of RAM just for VMware Fusion and the Virtual Machine.

• Could not find the TWAIN scanner in XP by Fusion

  My setup is simple.  Mac Leopard 10.5.7 VMWare Fusion 2.0.4 guest of Windows XP SP3.  I use a piece of software that accesses TWAIN scanners.  The scanner is a 3515 Savin run across a network.  All other PC find the scanner, no problem.  I installed the TWAIN drivers in XP on this machine, no problem.  The software see the drivers, no problem.  I ask to scan, it says "scanner not found on the network."  Now I open ports through the firewall, are alles went to control panel,-> Scanners and imaging devices hit the "allow this computer to use network Scanners.  Still can't find the scanner.  Pings it very well based on intellectual property.  Print to it, no problem either.  Fair analysis.  Any ideas?

  The default network in Fusion is NAT and places the Virtual Machine on its own subnet different then the subnet of the host is on.  Change the network of NAT to bridged and release/renew the IP address of the Virtual Machine or simply restart the Virtual Machine.

  Take a look at: Understanding Networking in VMware Fusion

  Note: Switch between NAT and Bridged can be done without restart or even using ipconfig to release/renew the IP under Windows. Simply turn the connected/disconnected state of the network of the network icon in the status bar while passing the type of the network between the two. It takes less then 10 seconds and you can then do what you have and then go as easily if you wish.

• Is it possible to open a VMWare Workstation virtual machine, VMWare Fusion?

  Hi all

  I recently moved to a MacBook Pro and have installed VMWare Fusion.

  I searched the forums but cannot find an answer to the question (or maybe I did not only hit the right keywords).

  My question is this...  Is it possible to open a virtual machine that I created in VMWare Workstation, VMWare Fusion?

  Thank you

  Dan.

  Do not.  Just copy the folder FULL of computer workstation computer merger.  In Fusion, select "Open an existing Virtual Machine" and find the folder that you copied and select the .vmx file.  No stupid masking the content of the file making it appear to the user unaware that the entire virtual machine is a big don't file this way.

• Problem running an existing virtual machine with fusion

  Im trying to run a virtual machine I use with player on my pc. He refuses to perform under the terms of the fusion of ideas?

  Blackdeerhunter wrote: Ive got further system boots to windows and then asks me to activate now what?

  Well, let's see...  Oh yes, activate it!

  BTW this is not a question of VMware itself as Windows product activation is a Microsoft problem whatever we're running Windows on a physical or a virtual machine.  Except run the Boot Camp partition as a Virtual Machine where the VMware Tools manages the database WPA to allow a start both in native and virtual mode, it would be the extent of the share of VMware in the present itself and the rest to you as a user to deal with Microsoft with.

• AutoStart, more than one virtual machine in Fusion?

  Hello

  Is it possible to autostart more than one virtual machine at startup of mergers?

  If so - how?

  If I press the star on a virtual machine, it will away from each other.

  Sincerely,

  DB

  No, only one favorite is both allowed but prevents you from scripts at startup of several Virtual Machines.  It could be a simple bash script or you can use AppleScript or Automator to achieve this.  If you what them to count when you connect, you can then add to your login under your account items in system preferences.

• Move a machine virtual in Vmware Fusion (Mac) of Vmware Workstation (PC)

  I guess that most people worry about how to move a virtual machine from the PC to Mac. I have exactly the opposite need.

  Will there be a way to migrate toward the back of the Mac to the PC? VMware Workstation recognizes as virtual machines created with the merger?

  I agree with etung provide a list of files.  The virtual machine has been turned off when you have copied the disk NTFS?  Do you have pictures?  I usually don't use snapshots and always make sure that the virtual machine is turned off before changing platforms, but the error message sounds like you can't be in the same State before performing the copy.

• Library of Virtual Machine in fusion 2.0.5 is adding false entries

  Hello:

  I'm under Fusion 2.0.5 on a Mac Pro using another (dedicated) disc for my partition Bootcamp taking into my Windows 7 disc.  A few times when I start VMware Fusion library Virtual Machine adds a second 'fake' entry labeled as Partition Boot Camp for a XP Pro.  I didn't create it and all the right click menu choices are available except "Delete" when I tried to start it (false entry) to see what will happen, it is clear that it is not fully implemented yet because the VMware Mac OS ask me my password perform additional processing to implement the system VM on my Boot Camp Partition.  I do not give my password software and the implementation of treatment plants.

  In addition to my first entry (unique, original, real) in the library Virtual Machine is a Vista x 64 edition that points to my Boot Camp (on a dedicated disk) partition with my Windows 7 system. When I right click on my (the) real library Virtual Machine 'Start up invited' and 'Settings' are grayed out.  Now, I have to go to the Bar Menu of Mac OS to boot my VMware system on the window-"& gt; The Boot Camp partition option".

  Any thoughts why:

  (1) VMware Fusion 2.0.5 is adding unwanted entries / fake Virtual Machine library?

  (2) how to remove false entries (delete is gray)?

  (3) how to retrieve entries from the right click menu 'greyed - out' on my real library of Virtual Machine entry for my Bootcamp Partition based Windows 7 system?

• How to find quotes double in searching the Catalog Manager XML and replacement tool? Is it still possible without writing an XML file?

  I am struggling with the XML search and replace in Catalog Manager tool. I want to find a particular column, but due to generic problems, I want to find with the intact double quotes and then replace with double quotes too. For example:

  Front: "CSM_MBR_ASA_INP_EFF_DT"

  After: "Effective Member ASA entry Date"

  The problem with just the text, is that there are columns like CSM_MBR_ASA_INP_EFF_DT_NEW used in the reports that I don't want to touch.

  When I do the exact search and replace as above, I get no results.

• How a virtual machine in Fusion 4 autostart?

  Fusion 3, I had a vm on Fusion from start. I can't find this feature in Fusion 4. Is it still there?

  They removed the option for now.  Some users turned on by mistake and don't know what to do. I hope that we'll see her back in an update.  Not one of the decisions more light if you ask me!

• Cannot find the Windows 7 Desktop in VMWare Fusion

  Hi all

  I installed VMWare Fusion on my mac.  Works very well.  However, I can't find my windows desktop.  The only thing I can find is Internet Explorer.  I know when I installed it, I clicked on something after the small bar at the top of the screen, but I can't remember what.  Now, in VMWare fusion window, under Windows7, it shows only a gray screen with an icon of recycle bin on it.

  Any thoughts?

  Looks like you spent at the sight of the unit.

  Just move your mouse up to the center of the screen and should display the VMware Menu and then click on the view menu and select full screen or single window or you can open the menu either VMware Fusion application on OS X, Windows applications menu bar or Dock VMware Fusion tile with a ctrl-click.

• Is it possible to reduce a virtual disk in Fusion 3.1.1

  I brought on a Windows XP-based computer by using the tool of migration (Fusion 3.1.1) for the Mac, and it works fine.  However, the XP machine had a 750 GB with only 135 GB disc, and the process still led to a virtual disk of 698 GB (160 GB on the Mac file system).  My Mac has only a 500 GB drive, and although not currently a problem, I wouldn't let the virtual disk to grow without limit.  Thus, using the partition EASYUS tool, I have reduced the size of the XP partition in the virtual machine to 160 GB.  It resulted in my virtual drive, from about 160GB to 220 GB on the Mac.  I then ran the VMware tools on the XP VM to reduce the virtual disk, which went very well and found with the virtual disk, from 220 GB to 240GB on the Mac.  Not exactly what I expected. Are there tools that I can load it on the Mac for this clean?  Seems kind of silly to have a 240 GB housing file a 160 GB XP partition.  The virtual disk is configured as a single file (not the 2 GB strips) and is NOT previously affected.  Any advice?  FWIW, I've already shared to the top of the original machine, so I can't he re-partition, then re - import.

  Thank you

  Starting with the stop of the vm.  .  .

  (1) settings: Add 2nd hard disk of smaller size

  (2) start the virtual machine

  (3) partition disk "nine."

  (4) copy the XP partition and mark it as bootable. Note that your partitioning program must be able to deal with the copy of the partition which is the current boot drive and EASEUS and others handle this very well.

  (5) judgment, does not suspend the

  (6) settings: Remove all the hard drives, but follow the files.

  (7) settings: Add once again this 2nd hard drive of the smallest size, noting that it is now the "Primary Master"

  (8) settings: Add once again the old boot drive, noting that it is now the primary slave

  (9) starting with the smaller hard disk again

  It's not very different than the steps 'real hardware.

• Impact of the installation does not fuse to Fusion 2.0.1

  I need to clarify what impact does not fuse installation to fusion 2.0.1 has our internal support. What exactly does not work if your system is 3RA?

  1. cannot mount hard files in the finder. (Please confirm)

  2 merger changes bootcamp volume the first time that you start them. This made by missing fuse?

  Thank you

  Blake

  The only thing to do is 1.  You will not be able to use VMDKMounter to mount a virtual hard disk.

  Installation/no install MacFUSE has nothing to do with the implementation of the Boot Camp partition to run as a Virtual Machine

• Win 7 hangs after Time Machine restore - Fusion v8.02

  New to the group, but a user of merger for a long time on a MacBook Pro 2009.

  It's a little complicated, but here are the facts:

  I have experienced a complete hard drive failure but had the system saved Time machine. After installing the new drive (Samsung 850 EVO SSD, 500 GB), I installed Snow Leopard from a dvd. I then did a restore from Time Machine since the last backup and most things worked very well. However, when I started Fusion (v8.0 at the time), I got the blue screen of death in Windows 7. After a few attempts, he found a remedy that helped win 7 to start normally and everything seemed to work fine. So I decided to upgrade the OS to El Capitan, and I'm back to the blue screen of death of Win 7. Nothing I've tried has worked to get Windows started, I can't start even in Safe Mode.

  I tried a manual uninstall complete Fusion 8 and reinstalled, but no change. I don't have much on the partition for Windows, really, just 3 programs I can not run in OS X, no storage data here either. Time, as I see it, I have two choices: 1) do an another Time Machine restore and downgrade of El Capitan by returning to the previous configuration. (2) do a complete reinstallation of Windows 7 and Fusion.

  If there is a way to just do a reinstall of Windows, I'm ready for that, too. (However, since the upgrade of the El Capitan I can't use the optical dvd drive with all disks based on Windows... already reported)

  Any help would be appreciated.

  As a follow-up, not long after my post, I get a call from VmWare support. (I submitted a ticket) Most excellent service. She takes control of my computer remotely and speaks to me through a new facility and a new virtual machine. I had downloaded a new version of Win 7 for installation and all went well.

  During the conversation I forget I wanted to install Win 10, but my system was apparently not compatible due to a graphics card or driver. She informs me that she has a solution for this and I am trying to install Win 10.

  Besides the support of VMWare!
