• How to install vmware tools in a virtual machine running in the drive on an Ubuntu host?

  I have a host of Ubuntu (Ubuntu LTS 14.04.2)

  I have a virtual of Fedora (4.0.4 - 301.fc22.x86_64) and I would like to install vmware tools in the virtual machine.

  When I select the player VirtualMachine-> reinstall VMware Tools...

  I get a prompt in a box on the screen.  It is said:

  The following software are available for download:

  VMware Tools for Linux version 9.9.3

  What do you do?

  X Cancel |  Download and install

  Of course I choose to download and install (kind of silly question - why I want to cancel?)

  So instead of download the tools I want to install, it says:

  Your permission is required to install an update to VMware.

  Please enter the root password to move forward.

  Password: __________

  not serious.  Now, he's looking for what root password?  The virtual machine or the host?

  I have try the virtual machine and it works-not "incorrect password... try again."

  ... well Ubuntu is not a root user.  So, I try the password for the user with root privileges

  "incorrect password... try again."

  Then, he does not.

  Not very satisfying.

  The instructions that I found in my research right you will say to take the step to obtain the Tools package then (well, nothing of the rest of it is important if the tools are not available to me).

  Suggestions?  Advice?

  The required password is for the host.

  A workaround of functions is "sudo su -" of ubuntu host, then start vmplayer from the root prompt.  You must browse the virtual machine since the user doesn't have a history of openness yet... but then there is no prompt asking for a password when you try to download the tools.

• Cannot add Ubuntu host physical hard drive to Windows 7 comments

• Ubuntu host customization vra7

  deploy us a machine model virtual ubuntu we want as our host name to update with automatic generated vm name of vRA.

  Is this only possible with the gugent interface?

  

  We tried to use 'software components' category of the designer but vra7 VirtualMachine.Admin.Name don't know not, so we can set the hostname generated through our own script years unknown this var.

  The UseGuestAgent made the rounds, but we want to keep it as simple as possible and to make changes via the part of software components.

  You use a script customization vCenter for the action plan? If you can clone a virtual machine in vCenter using personalization script and change the hostname, you can use this customization script in the action plan to define the IP address and the hostname without the guagent. See Clone of vRA/vCAC plan Magic Secrets Revealed! for an example.

• Station working 12, after suspend and resume, kills the host graphics performance (15.10 Kubuntu/Ubuntu host).

  When I suspend and resume my comments on VMware Workstation 12 Pro systems, using the command "vmrun suspend", my system very fast host (Kubuntu 15.10) suffers from a terrible performance issue after standby.  Graphic files, such as photos, now take 20 seconds to display on the host system to the place instantly. Here is an example of command that shows the problem to a 2.5 MB JPEG file on my host system.

  display of $ IMG_1234.JPG

  Other graphics software become even slow on display: geeqie, eog, etc.. However, the cp command is always instantaneous for the same file, so the problem does not seem to be related to the disk:

  $ cp IMG_1234.JPG whatever.jpg

  
  

  The problem remains until I have suspend the VMs system again (or stop).  If I take it back once again, the problem sometimes returns immediately. Other times it comes back after a few hours or a few days. (The problem is intermittent, but suspending the VMs always makes the problem go away.)

  If the graphic file is small, it displays quickly.  The slowdown is proportional to the size of the graphics file.

  When I run a strace of the 'View' command, I see that the delays are produce for the read() of the image file. No errors appear in/var/log when the behavior occurs.

  I suspend the VMs every night automatically (vmrun suspend) before that cron runs a backup of the entire system (using rsync). Then I have them back manually in the morning when I wake up. Sometimes, the problem is present and sometimes not.

  Two virtual machines use shared folders to access the host system.

  The problem started after upgrading my host of Kubuntu 14.04 15.10 LTS, and VMware Workstation version 10 to version 12. (Both at the same time.)

  System details:

  • VMware® Workstation 12 Pro, 12.0.1 build-3160714. Two virtual machines: Windows XP and Windows 7 Professional.
  • The host system: 12 cores, 32 GB of RAM (28 GB free), SSD
  • Using the new system for graphics (G-Force graphics cards)
  • Under Plasma (KDE) for host GUI.

  Thanks for any help!

• Advice on how best to configure the network adapters and virtual switch in ESX host

  I'm new to VMware and am its implementation.  I got my training a few weeks ago, and now I'm configing my hosts.  I have 3 guests, each have 2 network cards.  There is a virtual switch that ESX creates when it is installed (vSwtich0).  The books said that it is advisable to delete the VM network port of virtual machine that is assigned to the value group default virtual switch and put it on another virtual switch so that you keep your management network separated from the network of the vm for performance and security.  If I do this, all my virtual machines will have to go to 1 NIC b/c I only have 2 NICs per host.  I thought that I have just to keep all my groups of ports on the default vSwitch0 and add my second NETWORK adapter so that I can take advantage of the Association of NICs for redundancy and load balancing.  However, I'm not sure on the performance and the security risks.  Do you have any ideas or advice?  I could also create two virtual switches and put my virtual machines on one which would have a NETWORK card dedicated and put my service and Kernal VM console on another virtual switch with a dedicated network card.  However, in this scenario, I have no fault tolerance or load balancing.  We are a small shop and we have about 10-15 VMs on each host.  I don't have access to b/c distributed switching we paid only for the company (not more).  Thank you.

  Hi and welcome to the forums,

  With 10-15 VMs per box and I guess that I would seriously consider adding two extra cards for each host in the production machines. You could then do something like:

  vSwitch0 - vmnic0, vmnic2, vmnic3 - Console of Service, VM LAN network

  vSwitch1 - vmnic1 - VMkernel

  That would give you redundancy and performance to access your hosts (SC) and also for all your virtual machines. The VMkernel would get a NETWORK card dedicated for vMotion and could be on a separate network. He didn't need redundancy really as if the NIC sank the only issue is that you cannot vmotion virtual machines. In this case you would just move one of the NIC workgroup through to those switches manually.

  If you only have 2 network cards, then I would say having a vSwitch with two attached network adapters and VLAN the VMkernel may be off. I want absolutely to the redundancy of having two cards together.

  Hope this helps,

• Comments Windows XP keyboard freezes under heavy current hit on Ubuntu host

  Hello

  I am running a facility otherwise without problem with a host of Ubuntu 8.10 and a guest of Windows XP SP2 (VMware tools) in Workstation 6.5.1 build-126130 installed.

  The problem is this: occasionally (usually when I do a lot of typing) the guest OS stops accepting entries to the keyboard. As he does, he takes the last 20-30 keys (the buffer of some keyboard somewhere?) and repeat them several times, so I find myself with a few lines of what I just typed. After that, the customer will not accept any keyboard input, including the "send Ctrl-Alt-Del" command in the VM Worstation menu. Mouse input, however, is not affected by this (still works very well).

  The only way to get the comments to replay the keyboard is to restart the guest operating system (which fortunately can be made with the mouse). I tried to suspend/resume the guest and the opening/closing workstation - no effect. I also tried to vary the amount of RAM in the prompt to rule out a problem of low resources - no effect. This does not affect the keyboard in the home... everything is normal.

  Any ideas on where this problem is perhaps or anything else to try?

  P.S. I've specified manually the next keyboard map in ~/.vmware/config to move other keyboard problems:

  xkeymap.keycode.108 = 0 x 138 # Alt_R

  xkeymap.keycode.106 = 0 x 135 # KP_Divide

  xkeymap.keycode.104 = 0x11c # KP_Enter

  xkeymap.keycode.111 = 0 x 148 # Up

  xkeymap.keycode.116 = 0 x 150 # down

  xkeymap.keycode.113 = 0x14b # left

  xkeymap.keycode.114 = 0x14d # right

  xkeymap.keycode.105 = 0x11d # Control_R

  xkeymap.keycode.118 = 0 x 152 # Insert

  xkeymap.keycode.119 = 0 x 153 # Delete

  xkeymap.keycode.110 = 0 x 147 # home

  xkeymap.keycode.115 = 0x14f # end

  xkeymap.keycode.112 = 0 x 149 # before

  xkeymap.keycode.117 = 0 x 151 # next

  xkeymap.keycode.78 = 0 x 46 # Scroll_Lock

  xkeymap.keycode.127 = 0 x 100 # Pause

  xkeymap.keycode.133 = 0x15b # Meta_L

  xkeymap.keycode.134 = 0x15c # Meta_R

  xkeymap.keycode.135 = 0x15d # Menu

  Running a vCPU 2 comments on a 2 Core comments can cause resource contention problems.  Try to change your prompt to run a single vCPU to see if that helps.

  If this isn't the case, please attach the .vmx file and vmware.log since the directory containing your comments and we'll take a look.

• The Port of the switch to ESX host configuration

  I have a switch that connects to a physical server used in

  It is.   If there is only one card NETWORK in this physics

  Yes, you need to configure the physical switch port as a trunk and then configure the VLAN tagging on your Exchange Configuration-> Networking.

• Question about support of Ubuntu host platforms

  According to the user's guide, the latest version of vmware server-supported Ubuntu is 8.04, which becomes a bit long in the tooth.

  -Are there a plan in the near future to support a newer version of ubuntu?

  -people run vmware server 2 on the latest versions of ubuntu without any significant problems?

  Hello

  You must run vmware server 2 on Ubuntu 8.04 without problems. It works very well because it is fully supported.

  Anyway people running vmware server 2 on Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10. It is not supported and sometimes some questions (weird), but it should work.

  If you want to install vmware server on ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10, I recommend you visit the "VMWare server 2 install problems" section in this post.

• VMotion vm between 2 hosts with switch std and vds

  Nice day.

  I had 2 hosts (5.5 and 5.0) uinder signle vCenter and I need to move all the VMs from the second one (5.0) to the first (5.5). ESXi 5.5 is the distributed vswitch so I decided to remove the single vmnic of vds and add it to the standard switch. This host has 4 vmk interfaces now - 3 in the vds (simple management (10.12.0.41) and 2 for vmotion, but now the flag "use it for vmotion" is disabled) and only vmk (vmk3) in standard vswitch. vmk3 is falgged for vmotion only, its address is 10.12.0.100. Host 5.0 is located in another network, single vmk0 (192.168.107.94) and it is marked for traffic management and vmotion. OK, now, I put the correct rules on my router but vmotion ifaces cannot see the other cause of on ESXi 5.5 routing table:

  by default 0.0.0.0 10.12.0.1 vmk0 MANUAL

  10.12.0.0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 vmk0 MANUAL

  10.30.1.0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 vmk1 MANUAL

  and if I add route adds via vmk0, so vmk3 on ESXi 5.5 is not always on the road. Of more if I have "show the routing table" of the vmk in the vSphere client - I got an empty list. How can I add a route for vmkernel specific interface?

  P.S. Add what esxi 5.0 service VDS is no option for me.

  Wow, I guess my problem is solved. Tbh it was not a problem at all. I knew that you can not migrate vm group of standard port of a host to group ports distributed from another host, BUT it seems that I can use vmotion vmkernel interface that is in the Group of ports on a vmk host and vmotion to the Group of standard on another host port, so I just deleted the vmk3 and set vmk0 to be used also for vmotion traffic.

• Loss of connection to hosts on 1 of 2 switches disconnect pregnant?

  Hello

  Hoping someone can help point me in the right direction for this problem.

  We have three hosts IBM HS23 our cluster parameters, these hosts all sitting in the same Chamber and pregnant said has 2 switches Cisco 3110 in the back. These switches are configured with trunks etherchannel to our switch kernel stack and transport 10 + VLAN on the trunk. These VLANs are configured as port groups under a single standard switch on each host and guest virtual machines are placed in the VLAN relevant and can communicate on the network.

  The problem is that yesterday I temporarily unplugged cables etherchannel on the second Cisco 3110 to the back of the speaker and we have lost the connection to 2 of the 3 hosts of base, connected cables back in and connectivity has been restored. I then disconnected the cables connecting the other Cisco 3110 and we lost connectivity to the remaining host.

  I was under the impression that, as the two available on each host vmnic are active adapters for each group of standard switch ports that we had the resilience of the system by which we could lose a Cisco 3110 and maintain connectivity.

  This isn't the case, but looking at the config I do not see why.

  Someone at - it advice on where I need to be in the research or experienced something similar?

  Thank you

  ESXi hosts are connected to the ports of the two internal switch Cisco switches and unless you have configured tracking the State of affairs on the Cisco switches (i.e. If the uplink ports are down, the downlink ports will be closed), ESXi hosts will still see that their internal ports of Cisco online and therefore fail over to the other switch.

  Ande
