The host VMware workstation and multi-core CPU

Apologies if this has already been answered, but all my research to turn questions about processors how can specify in a virtual machine. It's not what I'm after here.

I want to know is the use of VMware workstation (v6 and v7) is available on a multi-core worksation host physical cores.

I have a scenario where we have several virtual machines containing sensitive coding environments. The material that they are on is a little old and we don't have the time or the knowledge to recreate systems (a combination of Matlab, DSpace and some custom coding). Our only option (and we did it for a couple with success so far) is to create virtual machines of these workstations.

Which is absolutely essential for us is the material we choose VMs on host. Virtual machines will use simple/double/processors virtual.

In order to choose the correct hardware platform, I need to know if VMware workstation is running an instance of the virtual computer within a single processor (in this case is the reduced performace?), or if there are multithreaded and make the most of the hardware it will run on.

(We are not welcome, never more 2 virtual machines at the same time)

Any suggestions on material would be appreciated also. I think of something based around a core of Xeon 4-6 with 12-16 GB of RAM.

Thank you very much

Correct, for laboratory/debugging and interaction VM Workstation is pretty good.

  • VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V system role before running VMware Workstation

    Ouch. I just started to do some Win Phone 8 and development Win, and all simulators are needed for development.

    This means that a dev to Win8 may only work on their host... I'm sure it would work in a virtual machine.

    Can I make for happy? (Hyper V might have to win here... sigh).

    VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V system role before running VMware Workstation

    Once you install the Hyper-V role on your host, your host is no longer running Windows 8 as the native operating system.  It runs Hyper-V as the native operating system, and Windows 8 runs as OS management within a privileged under Hyper-V VM.  With the Hyper-V role installed, * everything * runs in a virtual machine under Hyper-V.

    So to run a virtual machine under my computer in Windows 8 under Hyper-V, you must be able to run a nested VM.  It's possible with Hyper-V, the hypervisor host, but with the updates in custody, I mentioned above.

    To obtain external access to comments (access the guest from the host), you must configure the IP static within the guest (Linux) as below and restart the network (service network restart)

  • Issue of license VMware Workstation and VMplayer

    Hi all:


    Can anyone help to answer this question.  Thank you in advance.


    I have a valid license of VMware Workstation 9, can VMware Workstation and the VMplayer separately install on two computers and use them in business environment?

    The VMware Player delivered in the Installation of VMware Workstation is not separable from the installation of VMware Workstation or VMware Workstation license.  If you want to run VMware Player by itself then you must download the VMware Player installer, which installs only VMware Player not VMware Workstation.  You cannot cut files VMware Workstation installed between two systems.  So if you want to use it commercially you must buy a license of VMware Fusion!

    I hope that now this is clear enough for you to grab!

  • VMWARE Workstation and VMWARE Player

    I have a simple question: what is the difference between VMWARE Workstation and VMWARE Player.

    I have 2 PCs at home and have Windows Vista Home Edition and Windows XP Pro, I want to install Windows 98, to play older games.

    VMWare has free download, will this work? what I need?

    THX

    I used the two products but I prefer VMware products for my virtualization needs, which neither include playing games.

    In all sincerity, if you already have Windows 98 SE and the game sitting there, then I was going just to download VMware Player and test it.  You could probably do that more quickly then go through all that.

    If the Alien vs Predator game talk you is indicated to Aliens versus Predator (video game) and its system requirements, then I would Imaging VMware Player, that's all you need to give it a go and if you don't like not the performance or you can't find a VMware Player fairly easy to work with then try Microsoft virtualization product.

  • VMware workstation and ReadyNAS to store the virtual machine

    Hello

    I just bought a Netgear Readynas box for home (Readnas RND2000 XRAID SIN) and it seems like a big box to keep a backup of my critical data and flow data and video music.

    Now that will take about 100 GB in space and I'll always have weird to play with 400 GB and it made me think if I host all my test VM I created using VMware workstation, for the moment I use a local computer, but its lack of disk space, I tried to put the virtual computer on an external drive and performance is ok on it as well but for me , it would be ideal if I could store them on the readynas and open them through VM workstation.

    Of course put it on a NAS box could be problematic, has anyone tried this on one of these boxes ReadyNAS? its probably not designed for this type of data and traffic, but if anyone has got, it works, I would be interested to hear comments.

    One of the potential problems in my view is I'll be going through a wireless router with a 4 port 100 mb go and see that as a problem, it replaces a gigabit switch would make a huge difference, or would it still slow?

    I would appreciate any advice on this.

    Thank you

    I'll guess that your external hard drives are USB.  In this case my answer is Firewire.  I run several of my virtual machines to external Firewire drives very good success.  While I ran a few virtual machines from USB, USB just isn't the sustained performance of Firewire.  This is the case on my Macbook Pro and my HP Pavilion (with built-in Firewire.)

    That said, even if I don't have any experience with the ReadyNAS, I use a Windows Server as NFS storage to an ESX Server.  The gigabit switch is almost a necessity.  Possible about 100 MB, but significantly better on gigabit.  In addition, the link of the ESX to Windows NFS is on a physically separate local network segment, so I don't have any problems with the network traffic slows down the virtual machine.  I have not tried Workstation with storage NFS, as I always got Firewire on all my machines so I kept for most of the virtual machine from the network.  YMMV, of course, but I suspect that you will have to keep the rest of the traffic network in mind if you can not create a separate network for NFS storage.  (for example: no internet surfing on the host while the virtual machine is running.)

  • Multi-core CPU: this is an important factor?

    Hello

    I guess the CPU multi-core is probably important. But is there a rule or guidelines? I would be grateful any entry about the experience of the use of multi-core processors in a virtual machine (as a workstation or server) environment. In all the scenarios below, we assume that the memory sharp and e/s disk are satisfactory. I would like to isolate the factor of the CPU.

    Q1. A two CPU cores is equivalent to two physical CPU core?

    Q2. Number of vs. frequency of the processor cores: which is more important to run VM? Example: 2 hearts to hearts vs 4 3 GHz to 2.33 GHz

    Q3. How is the "engine" of the virtual machine using muti-core with regard to the number of virtual machines running? Is it true to say more "better cores?

    Example 1: host has 4 cores of CPU 1, 2 running virtual machines (what a waste of CPU resources?)

    Example2: host has 4 cores of the processor 1, 6 running virtual machines

    Q4. (Phenom2, Core 2, Xeon, i7) CPU architecture: the "engine" of the VM uses these CPU everything too, or is there someone who is particularly well suited for running virtual machines?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Q1 - Yes - ESX/ESXi treat each heart as a logical processor and plan virtual processors to these logical processors

    T2 - both are important - the vmkernel treats views CPU as a pool of cycles - 4 2.33 GHz is a pool of 9,32 GHz while 2 x 3 GHz is a pool of 6 GHz so as long as a virtual CPU has not a complete CPU - a virtual CPU can run on one heart at a time, so a 3 GHz core will be able to provide 3 GHz to a virtual computer

    Q3 - Yes more cores is better - the 'VM engine' called the vmkernel will plan the virtual machines between all hearts - VMware recommended 4 to 8 virtual processors per core according to load - so a single quad core cpu can support 16 to 32 virtual processors according to the load

    Q4 - he use them all as well - it will benefit from new technology of virtualization being in current technology chips.

    Hi, I installed vmware workstation 6.5 on vista and Suse 10 as guest operating system.  I keep Suse as default (without any network configuration).  I modified the default vmware gateway 192.168.2.1 keep even as window by default gateway settings. I also changed to the subnet to 192.168.2.0.  The IP address is replaced by 192.168.2.128. IP address of my Vista is 192.168.2.4 and DNS Server 4.4.4.1 and 4.4.4.2.

    I tried to ping between host and guest, and comments to the host, but still received the error of "destination host unreachable". It does not matter using host only or NAT mode.

    If the IP address of comments has the correct value you use VMnet8, not VMnet1. It should work, but this isn't the network "host-only '. That's what I need the .vmx file for. If this indicates that the virtual NETWORK adapter is configured as 'host-only' the IP of comments is wrong. It must be 192.168.17.x in this case.

    However... try to get a ping of the IP address, not name. Depending on the configuration you have posted, you should try to ping the 192.168.30.1 customer and 192.168.30.128 host. Don't forget that cannot work if your client is configured to use instead of VMnet1 VMnet8. If it is really configured to use VMnet1 you must change the IP of comments that I wrote above.

    If the host and the guest have active firewall disable them for testing purposes.

    Furthermore, by default, VMware installs a DHCP for VMnet1 and VMnet8 service. So if this service is still running on your host computer, you can assign the DHCP client and he gets the appropriate automatically for the network IP address.

    I don't no how to open the *.vmx in text format.  I noticed that vmnet1 IP address on the side of the BACK is 192.168.17.1 but side comments, it is established as 192.168.20.0.

    It is a text file. Just open in an editor and copy and paste it or attach the file to your next post.
