• Multiple NICs on a virtual single linux machine

  It seems like it should be simple, but when I assign two adapters for a virtual machine linux simple, the virtual linux machine stops as soon as it finishes the set-up and the fact over and over again endlessly.   He made a clean shutdown, I look at the console, I see it start to stop all the services at the time wherever he gets all a started.

  It started as soon as I added a second network adapter, and the problem disappeared as soon as I removed the network card.

  What I'm trying to do, is to have a second network adapter on a separate network that I use to communicate with one another physical machine on my network using a static internal ip address.

  I have set up a separate virtual switch, which possesses the second network card are entrusted to him.   There is only a single guest that uses this adapter.    Does anyone have any ideas why this would cause CentOS5 keep close and restart constantly?

  Sorry, in my previous message, actually one-liner I wasn't very clear.

  I mean, what happens when you configure the virtual computer with a second NETWORK adapter, and then restart the virtual machine in Single-user Mode od recovery mode?

  Is the virtual machine responds the same way or not?

  The idea is to start the VM with less service so that it continues to run and you will be able to do research on the second NETWORK card

• 4 virtual servers in a single physical Machine with a physical LAN card, how possible to assign 4 different unique to each virtual server IP address?

  Can someone tell me please, that each server Machine should have an IP address of seprtae to connect the client computers. If we have 4 Server virtual machines in VMware in a physical server with a LAN card with only a MAC address. How can assign us the same IP address to all computers in Virtual Server 4? While we need four IP addresses of different/seprate for each server computer to connect to client computers. can someone explain to me please. (will be greate if you can give me a few examples). Thanks in advance.

  You will need four different IP for each virtual machine, and each VM will have a different MAC address generated automatically by vSphere.

  Assuming you are using vSphere, I highly recommend you take a look at this document: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/virtual_networking_concepts.pdf

• Why my 4530 ProBook s (64-bit) does not have a virtual 64-bit machine?

  I have a new ProBook 4530 s and it seems to be an email from HP support for it yet...

  I'm in a seminar of the Technical Conference and we are supposed to install a virtual machine under VMWare image.

  This system is 64-bit and it is running 64-bit Windows 7 Pro, but when I try to start the virtual machine it gives an error-

  "Virtualization software is incompatible with the long mode on this platform. Long mode off. "The virtual machine image

  does not start.

  The VMWare help page says that the problem may be with BIOS. Any help?

  Had is actually * two * place.

  I changed in the Configuration of the device, rebooted, still no joy.

  Is returned in the BIOS, searched and found a changed if framework in terms of safety, from the view to change.

  Restarted, it works!

• Questions about the allocation of multiple NETWORK cards in a machine virtual Windows XP Machine HOST/NAT or bridged?

  Hi all

  That is the situation. We have a Machine physics WindowsXP with 5 CARDS, all with static IP. Only be connected to the internal network without physical Internet connection is used.

  Map NETWORK 1 has a 10.34.78.241/255.255.255.0 IP Gateway 10.34.78.2

  Map NETWORK 2 has an IP 192.168.22.242/255.255.255.0

  Map NETWORK 3 has a 192.168.100.241/255.255.255.0 IP

  Map NETWORK 4 has an IP 172.27.254.240/255.255.0.0

  5 NIC has an IP 192.168.242.10/255.255.255.252

  I used VMWare Converter Standalone to do a P2V PC, which works well with the latest version of VMWare Workstation. All were brought to the course successfully. The virtual machine has 5 Networksas by the XP Machine of origin.

  I built a Win7 Machine with 5 physical NETWORK interface cards, I suppose to replicate the Windows original XP Machine, I need configure the static IP address of the new NICs as shown above and configure cards NETWORK the VM 5 HOST mode and use the virtual network Editor

  to adapt the VMS NICS? Or is there a better way to do it?

  Cheers for any help and advice that can be provided...

  If I'm wrong, you should be able to create a Bridged (vmnet) network for each physical card. Make sure that one (which is created by default) is mapped to a physical NIC dedicated rather than automatic.

• Need help to launch a virtual of Kubuntu machine

  Hi all

  I'm relatively new to this forum and virtualization in general.  In any case, I got a Kubuntu VM that I try to open with VMware Player.  VMware Player sees the virtual machine very well, but when I try to open it I get an error that it won't launch.  The virtual machine is password protected and I have the credentials to launch and I'm pretty confident that they are correct, because the error occurs a few seconds after I entered the credentials.  If I enter the wrong credentials, he immediately informs me that the password is incorrect.  Y at - there a special setting that I need to change in VMware Player?  Is there anything extra I need to install?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance!

  Can you not change the number of vCPU virtual machine settings?

• What is the maximum size of virtual disk in machines virtual esxi 4.0

  I am trying to create a virtual disk to a virtual machine, I want to make the size of the 300 GB disk but its not allowing to create.

  Can I know what is the maximum size of virtual disk, we can create in machines virtual esxi 4.0 with vmfs3 partition

  
  

  The maximum size of the virtual disk that you can use depends on the size of the selected block when formatting of the data store. With the default of 1 MB block size, the maximum size of virtual disk on a VMFS-3 datastore is ~ 256MB.

• 12.04.01 Ubuntu x 86-putting in place a virtual Windows XP machine to access the physical disk

  Dear community,

  I'm new to VMware Workstation, but progressed in computer science.

  At first, I want to give you a brief introduction of my system and my goal.

  HP ProBook 6550 b (System with Intel Core i5 processor Intel-based)

  The HARD drive access mode: S - ATA AHCI

  Operating systems: Windows 7, Ubuntu 12.04 x 86, Ubuntu 12.04 x 64

  Boot Manager: GRUB2

  VMware Workstation (trial period) to 9.01 Linux x 86

  Goal: install MS Windows XP Professional with physical disk access several partitions on the hard drive local

  The installation of VMware Workstation 9.01 on my system Ubuntu 12.04 x 86 worked perfectly, without any error. Large.

  I was able to set up and run a Windows XP VM standard by creating a new virtual disk , following the Nice Wizard.

  It was just to test, but just after I tried to configure the same OS as a virtual machine using a physical disk (for advanced users) to directly access a local hard drive.

  Also, I selected "BusLogic (recommended)" on the choice of type of I/O controller.

  As a device, I chose the HARD internal laptop drive and used two individual partitions (the real partitions on my HARD drive I wanted access within the virtual machine).

  These partitions have been preformatted with NTFS (and not have been mounted in my Ubuntu).

  However, I was not sure if Windows XP has been will be installed on one of these partitions.

  The turn on/off the virtual machine to install the OS, I got the message following (msg1):

  "You are using a SCSI drive. Performance of dual-boot SCSI physical drives are poor. The installed operating system could not start correctly in the virtual machine. However, the physical SCSI disks work normally so exclusively in the virtual machine. »

  Just after the message following (msg2):

  "If you dual-boot a native Windows installation, problems can occur when attempting to start your system in VMware Workstation." For more information, see "http://vmware.com/info?id=128". "
  Click OK to continue, Cancel to power off.

  And finally this (msg3):

  «An error has occurred causing a virtual CPU go into the stop State.» If this anomaly had occurred outside of a virtual machine, it would have caused the physical machine restart. The stop State are accessible by properly configuring the virtual machine, a bug in the guest operating system or a problem in VMware Workstation.
  Click OK to restart the virtual machine or Cancel to turn off the virtual machine. »

  I cannot explain the last error message and don't know what to do.

  After specifying msg2, I found information about possible problems in dual-boot environments, caused by different drivers for the IDE controller.

  So I tried to change the access mode to S - ATA AHCI HARD drive to S - ATA IDE in the BIOS to solve the problem.

  Unfortunately, I have had no success on this operation, because the error message appeared again, once I restarted the VM.

  Sorry, but I have no idea what goes wrong.

  In fact, I don't know what VMware workstation wants to do, when you install the system on a disc/physical partition to have direct access to the local hard disk.

  Because I don't see even the first screen of Windows Setup, there must be something wrong.

  Underlying product system issues and if it's a primary or logical partition?

  Need a complete unformated HDD?

  Only selected partitions are accessible within the virtual machine?

  Is the system installed itself on the selected partitions?

  Maybe some experienced users can help.

  Your help is welcome!

  Thank you.

  First I use a raw disk to install Windows XP from a virtual machine, but if I had an existing installation, I would add the partition as a raw to be executed with a VM disk.

  Here's what I'd do...  Install Windows XP to a normal file based virtual machine, and then add a second disk as a raw disk with the partitions you want to join.  That's assuming that you really need not where what to start Windows XP natively and the physical partitions that access are used for data.  Also if need be add the raw disk as IDE.

• Physical/virtual MSCS & vMotion

  So, I've spent the last few days search and document clustering options in vSphere 5.  I came to understand the warnings and limits with each type of save this:

  Are the vMotion & DRS valid limits in a MSCS physical-virtual 2008 r2 cluster?  All documents and forums I read set out clearly the purely virtual cluster cannot be vMotioned manually (although it doesn't seem to work if a host goes down), but I don't see anything that indicates the same when a physical host is the mixture.

  Can someone clarify the situation?  Of course, I'll be testing in a lab environment but wanted further clarification before submitting this project from design to management.

  Thank you

  -Blitz

  It does not change if there is a physical box into the mix.

  The virtual SCSI adapter must still be in the bus, sharing mode, which prevents from vMotion.

• Virtual Windows 7 machine image does not not on Fusion for Mac

  I created a virtual Windows 7 64 bit computer image using the stand-alone converter.  I copied on my MacBook Pro with OS Lion and when I try to open with the merger, I get the 'Blue' of death screen, then a screen that allows Windows to try to solve the problem.  I select the difficulty, it runs, but does not solve the problem.  Anyone have any suggestions?

  When I created the image, I chose to make it run on Fusion 4.0, too.

  Thanks for posting (tie) the VM's vmx file. I guess that the virtual machine has been converted using an IDE drive instead of the default "LSI Logic SAS' value.

• HP EVA SRA: On the machine virtual or physical machine?

  Hello

  I need an answer correct, accurate and 100%: the HP EVA SRA must run on a physical machine with fiber HBA?

  or

  It's "all software" talk of TCP/IP to the Command View EVA box so the SRM + SRA box can be a virtual machine?

  I can't get a clear answer on the guides. Whoever it is I always ask say "hmm I think that" and I can't afford it. I need a hard 'I know' instead.

  all communications between the HP EVA SRA is made via command view eva via TCP/IP. the SRA can be installed with the SRM server software in a virtual machine, there is NO requirement so that it can be installed on a physical server with HBA.

  Best regards

• Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 & virtual 64-bit machines

  Hello

  I have a machine that has the processor Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 I know supports VT - X.

  I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and have VMware PLayer installed. I have 64 bit VM, mainly linux (Suse and Fedora) that work perfectly on a Dell laptop with an i5 processor, however when I run them on the E6400 processor I get error which is about 64-Bit support and LongMode.

  I've verified that this processor VT - X support so am not sure why it does not work?

  I also checked with the tool of processor 64-bit and which confirms that the processor is capable of running 64-bit guests so not sure what is the problem.

  There is no parameters with the firmware that control VT - X, so I'm a bit stuck regarding this.

  Any ideas would be very appreciated.
  Thank you.
  Dave

  There is no parameters with the firmware that control the VT - X

  Often this parameter is bit "hidden" in the security settings of the BIOS. You can also check if a newer BIOS is available that allows this parameter, where you can't find it.
