• Try copying the VMDK operating system of a virtual machine

  I m trying to copy the OS vmdk to a VM with 2 also with the cmd - left hard drive copy.

  When Itry to the following syntax:

  copy-hard drive - HDD "[RZ1_FG34_Infrastruktur_B] uxms0005/uxms0005.vmdk"-DestinationPath "Klon/uxms0005klon.vmdk [RZ1_FG34_Infrastruktur_B] '.

  I get an error:

  CategoryInfo

  : InvalidArgument: (:)) [copy-hard drive], ParameterBindingException)

  Thank you.

  Hi, Lutz, Yes, you must use the get-hard way it returns only one of the discs you want: Get - hard - drive vSphere PowerCLI cmdlets reference

  Like this for example:

  Get - VM uxms0005 |  Get-Harddisk? | { $_. Filename-match "uxms0005.vmdk"}

  It must return a drive and you can run in your hard drive copy.

• Try to change several network adapters on a virtual machine

  Here's what I have to change several virtual machines with an adapter:

  $test5 = import-Csv C:\test5.csv

  {foreach ($vm to $test5)

  $server = $vm.name

  $networkname = $vm.networkname

  Write-host "Changing $server to the new $networkname network.

  Get - VM $server | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - networkname $networkname - confirm: $false

  # #Start Server

  Write-Host "Made from $server"

  Start-VM $server - confirm: $false

  Write-Host "complete!"

  }

  It looks like a spreadsheet with the name of a column and networkname in the other and sets the adapter accordingly.  It works so much that there is only one network adapter to set... for example if there is a virtual machine with vlan1 for 3 network cards on a virtual machine, it will define all 3 cards to the vlan 1, but if a network card is different from vlan 1 it will fail.  How to fix a vm with multiple NICs?  I tried to separate them by a comma, but he doesn't like it.  Any ideas?

  You can add additional columns in your CSV file.

  Something like that

  Name, NetworkName1, NetworkName2, NetworkName3

  VM1, net1, net2 net3

  VM2, net1, net1 net1

  Then, you can change the code something like this

  $test5 = import-Csv C:\test5.csv

  {foreach ($vm to $test5)

  $server = $vm.name

  Get - VM $server | Get-NetworkAdapter | %{

  if($_.) {Name - eq '1 network card')}

  Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkAdapter $_ - NetworkName $vm.networkname1 - confirm: $false

  }

  ElseIf ($_.) {Name - eq "Adapter 2")}

  Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkAdapter $_ - NetworkName $vm.networkname2 - confirm: $false

  }

  ElseIf ($_.) {Name - eq "3 network adapter")}

  Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkAdapter $_ - NetworkName $vm.networkname3 - confirm: $false

  }

  }

  Write-host "Changing $server to the new $networkname network.

  # #Start Server

  Write-Host "Made from $server"

  Start-VM $server - confirm: $false

  Write-Host "complete!"

  }

• Fusion, Boot Camp and Ubuntu

  I have a system with OS X and Ubuntu dual boot on my Mac. A friend told me he uses the Fusion to launch its Windows Boot Camp installed in a virtual machine. Fusion can do with a physical installation Ubuntu as well?

  Apple only supports Windows XP and Vista under Boot Camp and in turn VMware support that that Apple supports.  That said implementation of VMware Boot Camp market partition a Virtual Machine is wrong and can be problematic, because Apple does not guarantee the name of BSD to a Volume and VMware does not explain this and that has its own set of issues and has been covered before in this forum, so I will not repeat.  Now, that said if you really want to try to virtualize a training Camp does not support configuration you can try creating a Virtual Machine around him by using a raw disk, and this can be done with vmware-rawdiskcreator, so take a look at my answers in hard drive not found as a reference to the use of vmware-rawdiskcreator.

  Also by default on a normal Boot Camp partition Fusion Virtual Machine cannot interrupt / Snapshot Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine and I do not know the parameters of Fusion 2.x to add Virtual Machines to the .vmx config file when manually creating a Machine virtual Boot Camp partition and warns the user if you Suspend or instant Boot Camp created manually partition the Virtual Machine and then run it natively you can potentially damage is beyond repair.

  Now you really want to take any chances, virtualization of an operating system not supported on the Boot Camp partition with a product that does not even support an OS supported properly under the current circumstances?

• After update of El Capitan, Fusion 8 will not open the Boot Camp virtual machine

  Greetings!

  I'm having a problem with the Fusion 8 since my update to El Capitan.   My Boot Camp partition is functional and I can boot directly into it very well - all my files and data are intact.   However, when I try to start the machine Boot Camp in a virtual machine within OS x, I get the following error:

  Operation not permitted

  Cannot open disk "/ Administrator/Users / / Library/Application Support/VMWare Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/Boot Camp 2.vmwarevm/Boot Camp 2.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends."   Module 'Disc' on failed.   Unable to start the virtual machine. »

  I remember a message from the update of El Capitan, indicating that it is an element incompatible Parallels and disabled.   I thought it was the components of laggard remains from when I ran a parallel trial a year ago, but perhaps it is related?

  Help, please!

  Hi gang,.

  I have a solution for this!   After I created this post, I created a ticket with support and they solved it for me.

  Here's the skinny: El Capitan has changed something wise permissions to access data files on the Bootcamp partition.  VMWare said they were working to solve this, but in the meantime they had me do made me upward and short... just remove the entry of the virtual machine Boot Camp in Fusion and recreate it.   I recommend you save beforehand in case where, but this process does not affect the data on your partition, only one definition of the Fusion of the virtual machine and how you can access your score.

• VMware Fusion 5 and Boot Camp 4

  Hello

  I experienced performance problems in programs related to the guest operating system (Windows 7) 3D in VMware Fusion 5 (inside OS X Lion mountain). I had to install Boot Camp 4 to do my job.

  Could you please tell me if I'll be able to use my material directly when I start my disk to Boot Camp with VMware Fusion?

  I would like to know if install VMware Tools don't mean anything?

  I still can use my Boot Camp separately from time to time (with complete equipment of available resources).

  I running everything maxed-out MacBook Pro with the Retina display.

  Thank you

  Could you please tell me if I'll be able to use my material directly when I start my disk to Boot Camp with VMware Fusion?

  Generally material only between a normal file based Virtual Machine and execution of the partition Boot Camp as a Virtual Machine's hard disk.  With a normal file base Virtual Machine to the default hard drive is virtual and with execution of the partition Boot Camp in a Virtual Machine uses the physical volume of the physical disk.  The rest is no interpreted differently, whatever issues you work around native-boot will always be a problem when the Virtual Machine running the partition Boot Camp in a VM as if it was a normal file-based.

  I would like to know if install VMware Tools don't mean anything?

  Usually without however you really have no choice but to install VMware Tools running the Boot Camp partition in a Virtual Machine or WPA/OPA will be an ongoing problem when switching back.  VMware Tools will manage the permutation of the WPA/OPA database between two environments after Windows and Microsoft Office (if installed) are enabled in each environment.

  I still want to be able to use my Boot Camp separately from time to time (with means complete material available).

  You will be able to do.

• Changed the size of the Windows Boot Camp Partition - now merger does not

  My Windows partition was too large, so I used the scroll bar in Boot Camp to reduce its size.  Start directly on Windows (via system preferences) works very well.  However, I got an error message (I should have written it, but it didn't) when you try to start Windows using the merger.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the merger, but now when I start it up I got a message "no boot device found".  I would still be able to use the merger through the Boot Camp partition.  My thought is that the easiest way would be to completely remove Fusion, because the Boot Camp partition works fine on its own.  Apparently, the rest backout package still some files on the hard drive that caused the errors after reinstall.

  Any ideas on how to remove all traces of Fusion I can do a completely new reinstall?

  VMware Fusion of uninstalling/reinstalling will not solve this problem, and all you have to do is delete the partition Boot Camp package of Virtual Machine that is basically just meta-data and does not affect the physical Boot Camp partition by deleting.

  Note: These senses are different which have already been posted so read and follow through... Note: These steps assume that you have a single Apple to default installation of Windows on a single Boot Camp partition and Boot Camp of VMware Fusion single default partition Machine virtual (without a snapshot *) and if you have changed the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Machine package virtual first. * Also note that Fusion 2.0.0 may accidentally have a snapshot with the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine and it should not have, then you should check to ensure that the condition does not exist as well. (With merger closed if the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine package is over 1 MB in size, then you might have a snapshot in place and do not continue with these instructions.)

• Problems with Windows 7RC in the Boot Camp Partition

  At the time current Windows 7 in any version is not supported by Apple on the Boot Camp partition, nor is it supported in any way under Fusion.

  Although it is not supported, it will work however it depends what Guest select you when the virtual machine based on the creation of a regular file.  I don't got no problem using Windows Server 2008, when the virtual machine based on the creation of a regular file.

  VMware is a company so I doubt that you have implemented the company however, your statement is a bit ambiguous because it is not clear if your always talk your partition Boot Camp Machine virtual matter in Fusion, you tried to select each of them as an OS on the entrance of Boot Camp partition on the Virtual Machine library and it didn't help the Boot Camp Virtual Machine partition number or to be issues with creating virtual machines with these operating systems.

• Boot Camp from Apple device drivers

  I managed to take a Boot Camp Windows Vista partition and he migrate a virtual machine to VMWare under VMWare Fusion 3 on my MacBook Pro under Snow Leopard.

  However, the new VM Vista has still all the device drivers Apple Boot Camp installed and active. The control panel under programs and features in Vista, you can see 22 different "Windows Driver Package" dated 2008-04-25 folders. Most are from Apple, some come from RealTek, Broadcom, Atheros, and Marvel.

  There is the element of Boot Camp from Apple Services.

  So, now that it is quite a VMWare virtual machine and not on a Boot Camp partition, should I UNINSTALL these old drivers or should I leave them in place?

  

  If it is a fully imported file based Virtual Machine and not only running the Boot Camp partition as a Virtual Machine, then you can remove what is not specific to VMware hardware and or virtual machine based on any Apple hardware you plan not to use in the normal file.

  Personally I would never waste time import what be and build always clean a Virtual Machine if she wants to be a Virtual Machine for primary production in the long term it will be less problematic throughout however to each their own.  If I import the Boot Camp partition as Virtual Machine based on normal files I also don't use the import command because of the way he creates the virtual hard disk to reflect the complete disposal of the physical drive and prefer to use VMware vCenter Converter instead.

• Problem with the conversion of Partition Boot Camp

  I would have just dl and installed the trial version of 3.0.  After running and by selecting the boot camp for the boot partition, merge began to 'prepare' the partition for use.  After about 45 minutes, the process had not been completed.  I grew up the activity monitor and found that the process did nothing.  I closed the process, thinking I could start over again at the launch of Fusion.  Wrong, merger saw the partition boot camp into a virtual machine that could not be started.

  Is there a possible way to start the process of 'preparation '?  It is apparently the only way to correct the problem.

  Tried from a support ticket, but could not do while I wasn't a registered owner.

  I'm trying to make my choice between Parallels and Fusion, or just stick with BootCamp.  I hope someone can help me with this problem.

  Harry

  Dear Harry,

  I did the same thing yesterday. My BootCamp partition has Windows XP (SP3) and I also have Parallels. I'm now trying to decide if I stay with Parallels or Fusion 3 (to take a possible advantage over the 64-bit @ Snow Leopard).

  My upgrade was fine, it took about 15 minutes to get BootCamp running on the merger. A small step has been to re - activate my XP with Microsoft license, because the "material" changes. I have the MACBOOK PRO 13 '' 2.53 with 4 GB of RAM. I don't really have time to play yesterday, but between Parallels and Fusion 3, (64-bit), I did not see too much improvement on the 'speed '.

  An advantage of having any of virtualization software, is that you can have multiple operating systems running, such as XP, Windows7, etc. I need that because my work, the developer. If you can stay only with an operating system, I guess, BootCamp works very well.

  Kind regards

• Unit works only with the Boot Camp Partition

  Hi guys - I searched the forums for a while and pretty well I came across all positions said that if the unit does not have to uninstall/reinstall VMware Tools.  I tried twice but nothing helped. I am very new to the merger, but for now I'm very excited/impressed with the trial version - I just everything works fine!

  Sorry to ask 2 questions in once, but someone pourrait' one also point me in the right direction on how to remove my bootcamp partition and strictly use VMware so that I can create snapshots and free up hard drive space?

  OSX 10.5.6

  Windows XP SP2 (bootcamp partition)

  VMware Fusion 2.0.4

  MacBook 1st Gen 13 "Core Duo 2 GHz, 2 GB memory

  Thanks in advance for helping me!

  If you want you can import the Boot Camp partition as a Virtual Machine based on a separate stand alone file, or you can install Windows from scratch.  After you import if desired you choose and you don't want to use Boot Camp natively or as a training Camp for the virtual partition Machine (not that any) and want to recover the space that the Boot Camp partition is far from taking the Macintosh HD you can then use the Boot Camp Assistant (/ applications/utilities/Assistant Boot Camp) to remove the Boot Camp partition to reclaim that space.

  For the import of the Boot Camp partition as a Virtual Machine based on a stand-alone file, take a look at: VMware Fusion (menu bar) > help > VMware Fusion help > creating virtual machines > import Virtual Machines > import the Partition Boot Camp

• New Boot Camp entry every restart?

  Hi all

  I have a Mac Pro with 4 hard drives, 2 of them are in a RAID array, one for Time Machine and the other dedicated to Windows.  It seems that every time that I reboot Mac OS X is to reassign the different hard disks disk/dev/BSD * knots. Therefore, whenever I run the VMWare Fusion application it detects my drive of Windows (bootcamp) on a node different/dev/disk * and think its new adds an entry in the "Library" window and forces me to set up again as if I had never started before, including installing VMWare Tools, etc.

  Someone knows how can I force Mac OS x to give readers the same / dev/disk * numbers every time my computer starts, they are not traded, moved, etc. between drive bays, or if there is another way this merging allows to locate my bootcamp drive, so it is not keep thinking that it's new?

  Thanks in advance,

  -icebalm1

  This issue was covered several times on this forum and I am surprised that you did not when you looked first before asking but here are the facts...

  Fact 1. Apple does not guarantee the name of BSD to a drive between reboots.

  Fact 2. VMware, unfortunately and inexcusable was unaware of this when they designed Fusion and as such when OS X assigns a different BSD on a drive name, and then it previously and when this disc has a partition Boot Camp that has already been established to run as a Virtual Machine, then two or several entries for the partition Boot Camp one can and will appear on the library Virtual Machine in all versions of merge to this day.

  ==========

  It is more common on a Mac Pro however I knew it with a MacBook Pro and especially when after attached external drives with a Boot Camp partition on them. On a Mac, which has a single hard drive and only one partition for OS X and a partition for Windows, it is less likely to occur compared to the Mac Pro, which often have more then an internal drive however I have experienced it on a MacBook Pro in by itself but it is more likely to occur when several hard disks are at stake.

  AFAIC until VMware fixes this problem, it not is not worth using the partition Boot Camp as a Virtual Machine and I went up to now regarding, with merger closed, rename "/ Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmware-rawdiskCreator" so merging would stop enumerating the Boot Camp partition and placing an entry on the Virtual Machine library.  I then deleted the "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp /... / Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm ' open and Virtual Machine merge and delete the partition Boot Camp on the Virtual Library entry Machine and focus not on the Boot Camp partition until VMware fixes it!

• resize boot camp partition, formatted and installed windows 7 - now cannot open in vmware fusion

  Here are the steps that I took...

  1 has started with the copy of Windows XP in the boot camp partition. "This is accessible from VMWare Fusion."

  2 resized (from 6 GB to 18 GB) and formatted the boot camp partition.

  3 successfully installed Windows 7 directly in the resized partition boot camp (not through VMWare Fusion).

  4. starts in OSX (latest version), open VMWare Fusion and attempted to access the partition to boot camp/vm. Received an error message charging me to disassemble and reassemble the physical disk changes. However, since I did it, he cannot find a bootable disc, therfore making it the useless bootcamp VM.
