• Why my PC slow down to a crawl when VMware Player is the suspension to the .vmem file?

  My PC becomes almost unusable when VMware Player prepares his State record to .vmem file. VMware Player is delegate the task to C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe process. When we look in the Manager tasks, I see that the CPU usage is just 5.10% and the memory usage is around 40%, which is normal for me. When I open resource monitor, I see that ntoskrnl.exe is written extensively to the VMware .vmem file. From writing to the disk stops, my PC immediately snaps back to normal.

  I scanned the disc for errors and the performance issues with HDTune, I tested the RAM with memtest. Everything is normal, no errors, drive performance is approximately 110 MB/s. I have antivirus (Avira free) and I don't know that there is a legitimate ntoskrnl.exe Windows process. With the exception of this problem, my PC worked rock stable for three years.

  Why write on a hard drive that is not my OS drive affects the overall performance of a PC so and what can do to solve the problem? Also I don't understand, why suspending the hard .vmem file so long?

  My virtual machine has 8 Windows as a guest operating system. It has 4 GB of RAM. After I suspend the virtual machine, my host PC is trolling for about 10-15 minutes which seems far too long a little writing 4 GB of memory to the .vmem file status. I also tried VM VirtualBox with the same guest OS and 4 GB of RAM and it suspends a lot sooner and don't drag my PC after that. Also if I move the files in Windows Explorer on the same drive, it has this issue. It seems so VMware Player or ntoskrnl.exe is something too aggressive.

  
  

  Here are the specs of my host computer:

  CPU: Intel i3 2120 
  Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H67A-USB3-B3 
  RAM: 8GB 
  Hard disks: 
  OS and system disk - Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120 GB, connected to internal SATA3 port 
  Data disk (which causes the slowdowns): Seagate ST31000528AS 1000 GB, connected to internal SATA3 port 
  OS: Windows 7 64 bit Professional with SP1, updated regularly
  
  

  With the virtual machine off (non-suspended), try adding the following configuration option to the .vmx file:

  mainMem.writeZeroes = TRUE

• How to create comments in VMWare player

  I know I've done in the past, but I just downloaded and installed VMWare player and there is no button to "create the virtual machine. How do I create a guest? I'm running Win 7 x 64 host and tries to install Mint as a guest.

  Thank you.

  Nevermind, I googled "WMWare player" and followed by a download link for www.vmware.com/ * but it gave me version 2.5.5 (?). I'm now download/install version 6, I guess that the problem will be solved.

• Connect two VMs via the connection to the local network using VMWare Player

  So this topic can be posted already, but I'm at the end of the roll, trying to find a solution. I have VMWare player installed 3.1.4 on an enterprise_x64 of Windows 7 system. I configured two virtual machines: OS1 comments: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.5_x64 and OS2 comments: WIndows 7 Ultimate_x64. I need the Linux server to act as a database server in the system environment, that I am creating. The Windows 7 VM will be the client PC. The Linux server is configured to be it's own DHCP server, so ideally the client PC connects to the field of tht and also follow the Linux server IP address.

  I tried all the options of networkign for each virtual computer, but no sem to create this type of connectivity. How to configure the network settings in VMWare Player to make two virtual computers can communicate with each other via a virtual network? (Communication with the host pc is not necessary)

  The short answer is to manually install the lack vmnetcfg.exe, Editor of virtual networkand configure VMnet2 without DHCP and host vNIC and then configure manually each virtual machine network adapter to use Custom VMnet2.

  The longer answer has already been given so many times that you should be able to find detailed directions, however...

  To install the lack vmnetcfg.exe, virtual network editor, run VMware-player-* .exe-e c:\vmptmp go to a command line and then in the c:\vmptmp folder, locate the file c:\vmptmp\network.cab and extract (double-click on the .cab file) vmnetcfg.exe (virtual network editor) file in the working directory of VMware Player usually ' C:\Program Files\VMware/VMware Player ' you can create a shortcut to it and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player if you want to access more easily to her.  This utility is not installed by default is however necessary to turn off the automatic bypass on VMnet0 if the system is multihomed and two or more physical host from the NETWORK adapter is active or you want change VMnet1 and VMnet8 subnet addresses or additional VMnets.

  The you must manually change the configuration of each virtual machine's .vmx file in Notepad, change an existing parameter and add another.

  Change:

  ethernet0.connectionType = "nat"
  

  TO:

  ethernet0.connectionType = "custom"
  

  Add:

  ethernet0.vnet = "VMnet2"
  

  Note: Regardless of connectionType ethernet (n) shows it should be changed to "custom".

  Be sure also to Machine virtual are stop, not suspended and VMware Player is closed when you edit the .vmx config files.

  Here are some pictures to show.

  Here in the VMnet2 virtual network Editor is selected and is how it should be if you what to use your own DHCP server and the host does not have a vNIC.  You can change the IP address as a result of your needs.

  

  Here's the value VM card network NAT settings.

  

  This is what network settings Virtual Machine map will look like after you change the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file to use Custom VMnet2.

  

  BTW if you replace the Machine network card virtual settings through the user interface customized by something else then you will need to manually edit the .vmx config file to retrieve.   With VMware Workstation, you do not need to manually install the virtual network editor and should not manually edit the .vmx config file as the custom list box is still present and shows all VMnets to select from.

• Host 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 yourself running comments Windows 7 Pro 64 bit in vmware Player 4

  Hi all

  I have a new installation of Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit on my old Dell Optiplex GX-620 machine.
  I installed vmware player 4.0.2 on who.
  I would like to create a virtual machine for few comments Windows 7 Professional 64.

  Is the above a possible scenario? VMware player wonder what OS I'm going in the virtual machine and seems to only present 32 bits in the drop-down list of choices.  Maybe I can ignore that and go ahead and install the Win 7 64bits instead?

  Thanks for your help.

  avmad

  I fear that you will not be able to run all guests 64-bit with the CPU you use. As far as I know, none of the Pentium 4 processors support Intel VT - x.

• VMware Player tells me to 'host reserved RAM', but the option does not exist.  Is there a command for vmx to this file?

  I am running VMware Player on a host Ubuntu 14.04, Win 7 pro x 64 comments.  When I start the client OS VMWare gives me this warning

  

  So I want to allow the use of the "reserved host RAM" option instead of playing with the pagefile, but setting told me to doesn't seem to exist in VMware Player

  

  Is there something I can add to the VMX file to enable this option?

  Porto Richardson wrote: this setting for VMware Player is found in the file config.ini to the player %allusersprofile%/VMware/VMware

  The OP said "I'm under VMware Player on a Ubuntu 14.04 host" so the file name and path you mentioned is not applicable.

  @LukeJS host on a Ubuntu (Linux) from the file name won't get the .ini extension and will be simply called the config and will be parked at/etc/vmware /.  So with the machine virtual shutdown is not suspended and VMware Player closed then a Terminal used the following command.

  sudo nano/etc/vmware/config

  Then add the following line.

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

  It is essentially the same parameter that gets the value of the UI of VMware Workstation preferences for submission in response to the message that despite the instructions contained in the message does not exist in the VMware Player preferences user interface.

• Cannot SSH in vmware player (can use the local IP address but not external IP)

  As above

  Cannot SSH in vmware player (can use the local IP address but not external IP)

  Am new to vmware, so if you need information to help me on what you'll need to tell me how to get

  See you soon

  Vodkaholic27, let me start with the layoff of vodka for a bit and then set Virtual Machine network card to bridged and then assign a static IP address that is appropriate for the guest as the physical LAN operating system is the host.  Then in the local physical network for static IP address router you assigned in the guest OS configure it to allow Port Forwarding on the appropriate port.  Then, you will be able to access from outside local physical host network.  If it's just on the other system on the physical LAN to the host that you want to access the guest you need not set up the Port Forwarding on the router on the local physical host network, simply use linked by a bridge to the network adapter in the Virtual Machine.  If you use NAT to the NIC of the Virtual Machine, then you need to set Port Forwarding in the virtual network Editor.

  Note: The virtual network Editor is not installed by default in Vmware Player 3.x and later versions.

  ==========

  To install the missing virtual network Editor, the command prompt:

  VMware-player-*.exe -e c:\vmptmp
  

  Then in the c:\vmptmp folder find the file c:\vmptmp\network.cab and extract (double-click on the .cab file) vmnetcfg.exe (virtual network editor) file in the working directory of VMware Player usually 'C:\Program VMware Player' or ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Player.  You can create a shortcut and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player, if you want to access it more easily.  Note: there are some for all the files to be extracted to then access the network.cab file.

• VMware player 2.5.2 - 156735 and 64 bit comments

  I have a laptop Lenovo T400 with Vista 64-bit, 8GB of RAM and processor Intel Core 2 duo T9800 @2. 93 GHz. I run Linux RH 4.0 AS 64-bit as a guest on her os. I downloaded the 2.5.2 - 156735 VMware Player and installed on Vista 64-bit. No problems so far. I'll build comments of RH Linux AS 4.0 64-bit on another VMware ESXi server and then copy it in Vista and convert it as well as VMware player can see the .vmx file. I've done it before so I don't see any problems so far.

  What I would like to know before proceeding with this combo is that VMware Player 2.5.2 will be able to run the client 64-bit Linux with no problems? Release notes say I should be able to run 32-bit and 64-bit comments about it. However; I noticed in Vista, the Task Manager when I run VMware player, he began as a 32 bit application. If I allocate for example 6 GB of RAM to the guest Linux OS, the player will be able to allocate this memory for the guest operating system, although the player himself is running in 32-bit mode.

  You need support of Intel-VT on your laptop to run 64-bit guests. That of all, do not pay attention to player status.

• Is VMware 4.1 - possible to do automatic VM on host migration when LUN is near full capacity

  Hi all

  We have VMware 4.1 - is possible to do automatic VM on host migration when LUN is near full capacity.

  Suppose I have configure if a logic unit number is nearly 85 percent of capacity, I can do a configuration that VM will be moved to another host without any manual intervention.

  Thank you

  Saurabh

  Welcome thr community - first question I have is how you configure your virtual disks - you're thick or thin provisioning - if you use thick Provisioning, the size of the virtual disk won't grow - if you use Thin Provisioning disks will develop as spaced is used in order to run in a situation where you run the risk of cluttering the VMFS datastore - this risk is the reason why best practice is not use Thin Provisioning for machines of production

  Now, to answer your question - first thing to keep in mind vmotion does not move when the virtual machine is stored it simply moves the execution instance of the virtual machine to an ESXi host to host anotherESXi. You take advantage of Storage vMotion - but in vSphere 4 storage vMotion is not automatic.

  With vSphere 5, that you would be able to use Stirage DRS and that will automatically pass the virtual machine as the disk fills up.

• Commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player

  Where can I find the commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player on a host Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)?

  I need to start and stop the virtual computer from a script as I could do this by selecting the ' power on ' and his 'guest stop' or at least 'power off' options of the GUI of VMware player.

  If a control interface is not available, is available if I update to VMware Workstation?

  With the player, the VIX API is a separate download (on the same page you downloaded the install drive in), so I guess you will have to install the separate package to use it.  But it's pretty easy to do...

• Why my VM's missing when you upgrade again VMware Player?

  I got a set up virtual computer (version 4.0.0 - 471780 VMware Player) on my Windows 7 computer.

  When finally, I tried to start, I got a notice that "new version available" (4.0.1).

  I downloaded and ran the installation process. He said that I needed to uninstall the previous version before it would install. I guess VMware (the company) would be so stupid as to induce someone to download a new version which destroys all the work they have already done, but at this point, this seems to be what happened.

  Assuming that it would be anything but keep uninstall my virtual machines intact, I clicked on continue.

  After some time, he said the computer needed to be restarted. After reboot, I can not find any installation of VMware, old or new. The installation process does not continue after a reboot.

  I looked into C:/Program Files (x 86) / VMware/VMware Player / and it seems to be completely empty (I don't check for hidden files, but I think that they are the least of my worries).

  So, VMware actually invite me to remove my existing virtual machines? It actually interrupted my use of VMware me say there was an 'upgrade' which was in fact is similar to a virus that erases the work weeks/months? Or are these virtual machines safely hidden away somewhere, in a safe house where my evil hands can't reach and corrupt?

  Please, tell me where they are. I promise you that I won't let them hurt.

  Sometimes happens - not serious at all

  first find the file VMware-player - 4.0.1 - 528992.exe

  If you do not have the file open a cmd as admin and type

  dir /s c:\VMware-player-4.0.1-528992.exe

  that should show you the path to the file you - once you've found it - doubleclick it

  When the installation is done your virtual machines should reappear.

  If this isn't the case - and you don't have any virtual machines listed in the VMplayer window
  Search your system for vmx-file and double-click them

  and keep in mind that VMS are associated with VMplayer
  as jpg or bmp-file MSpaint - MPG and VMs are just an application documents.

• Can anyone confirm if host vista can go to sleep when vmware workstation is running?

  I posted a question on my vista machine not to fall asleep when vmware is running. I have all the answers.

  Now, I would like to ask differently. Can anyone confirm or deny that your vista machine to sleep when vmware is running. Please indicate your vista edition and vmware workstation version. Please also note that VMware is running any active guest of the OSes. In my case, even if vmware won't be meme si vmware ne s' execute running no matter what guest OS, the machine won't go to sleep sleep once expired. Strange - if you just click on 'Start' - & gt;... - & gt; "' Sleep menu", the machine will sleep very well, even if vmware is running some OSes comments.

  Chuck, I use Vista Business SP1 with VMware Workstation 6.5.2 and he falls asleep without problem with or without a running virtual machine.

  You configure the duration of sleep through Control Panel > plan Options of food, then by setting it to this power, or are you using some sort of freeware Vista shutdown/sleep timer app?

• Cannot install VMware Player 6.0.2 when username contains apostrophe

  I tried to install VMware Player 6.0.2 in a Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit o/s.

  I kept getting "Error in Script" (see image below).

  After some research, I found the cause of the problem.  This is because the user name contains an apostrophe.  In some countries, it is normal to have an apostrophe in the name, such as Joan of arc.  For the problem of confidentiality, I don't mention the true name in my case, so let's say it's Joan of arc.  In this problem, the path to "index.htm" is

  C:\users\Jeanne d'Arc\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware_xxxxxxx\index.htm

  Then I created another user name "Joan of Arc".  I used this new account to run Setup again and I didn't have the 'Script error '.  It is so clear to me that the apostrophe in user name (and therefore in the path of the file) has been the cause of the problem.

  

  I suspect that this problem can also occur for the installation of VMware Workstation.

  As a result of my post:

  This problem happens

  • VMware Player 6 and 7
  • VMware Workstation 10 and 11

  But it is FIXED in

  • VMware (Workstation) 12 player
  • VMware Workstation Pro 12

  Thumbs up!  VMware!

  

• Script error when you try to install VMware Player on Windows 8 computer laptop

  I downloaded the version 6.01 of VMware Player on the desktop of my laptop Windows 8, but every time I try to install I get the following error...

  An error has occurred in the script on this page

  Online: 1089

  Char: 7

  Error: Expected ')'

  Code: 0

  URL: file:///C:/Users/DG's/AppData/Local/Temp/vmware_1387286925/index.htm?langis 1033 & local is 1033

  Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

  Yes/No

  I followed the base article of knowledge advising me to delete my browsing history and cache and try to download again, but nothing changes.

  If I click Yes or no installation goes out the window and my laptop computer fan starts but nothing seems to happen. If I try to abandon the installation by clicking the VM taskbar icon, I get a message saying that the installation is ongoing and to wait for it to finish... I waited more than an hour and the closest, I to a facility is an empty folder of VMware in My Documents.

  Can someone help me please.
