• Virtual machine file size does not decrease after moving files

  My Windows XP virtual machine file was about 25 GB after I migrated from a Windows PC on a Mac. So this morning I moved on the 12 GB of files of the virtual machine is the My Documents folder to the my Mac Documents folder.  However, the file size of the Virtual Machine does not decrease at all.  What ' s past? Is there a utility that I have to run to compress the file or something? Why the files of the Virtual Machine has not declined the amount of files moved to the Mac OS environment?

  Thanks for the tips. I ran the cleaning disc as well as remove snapshots, but it only reduced the size of the file by about 1 to 2 GB. Much less than the 13 and 14 GB that was moved. Other ideas on where is hiding that extra GB of 11-12?

  You did copy or move, and if copied then you can remove and empty the trash?  Did you use Disk Cleanup to do some house-keeping file and empty all but the last restore Point before you shrink the disc?  Another way to check that is placed on a Windows system is to look at the drive with WinDirStat.  For the side Mac, check out GrandPerspective.

• Licenses to create a virtual machine is second with more than 8 cores?

  So, we have a machine with 4 physical Sockets with 16 cores on each. We bought 4 licenses of vmware's standard. Now, we saw early on that the number max of hearts that we assign to a virtual machine was 32, which isn't really a big problem, 32 is a lot for our needs. So we have a 32 core virtual machine running and some other smaller, but now when I try to create another virtual machine with more than 8 cores it tells me that I have insufficient licenses.

  Can anyone provide more information on that? If I can create a virtual machine with more than 8 cores, why I can't create a new one?

  He said authorized to 4 physical processors, so it's ok, it's using your Standard licenses.

  During the 60-day trial, you could create more large virtual machines, because the 60 days run with Enterprise Plus features. Now that you are using the standard license, you can create only 8 vCPU VMs.

  Solution:

  You should spend 5.5 ESXi. Your license will also work for 5.5 and you'll be able to create virtual machines with up to 64 vCPUs.

  Concerning

• VMware Workstation is unable to open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum file size supported by the host file system.

  I'm transitioning from Windows XP (64-bit) on a new computer with Windows 7 installed.  I undertook to VMWare Workstation 6 7.0.1 in the process.  The problem is with a very large RAID 5 volume on the new system.  It's a score of 5.45 TB (TPG and NTFS).

  When I try to start a virtual machine on this volume, I get the message "VMware Workstation cannot open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum size of the files supported by the host file system.".  This is obviously not true.  If I copy the virtual machine to another drive on the system, it starts without a problem.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to work around this problem?

  try to add this line in the vmx file:

  diskLib.sparseMaxFileSizeCheck = "false".

  Maybe it helps.

  VMDK-type do you use?

  monolithicSparse? -C' is the only part type more?

• CONTROL-have more than 2 times to increase the font size on losing him of the screen information

  Why when you use the CONTROL + function more than 2 times to increase font size on the screen, you will lose information from text on the screen? This is the reason why I switched to Chrome & Safari as the rest of their content. Whenever you have a new version, I come back to see if you have corrected this, but you never have to go back, I'm going!

  Are you using text zoom (Zoom > Zoom text only) or are you zoom the entire page?

  You can use an extension to set a page zoom and the size of the default font on the web pages.

• How can I change the looks of Access Infrastructure Web location for the virtual machine files?

  How can I change the looks of Access Infrastructure Web location for the virtual machine files?

  My default is set to MACHINES C:\VIRTUAL.  But I want to change it to turn to an external drive connected with an eSata cable. Can I do this?

  Hello

  Add just like a new data store.

  Login to your web access, select your host (not the virtual machines) in the left menu.

  You should see a link on the right side with "Add data store", give it a name of store and add the directory.

  Now, you can add a virtual machine to this place.

  Good luck!

• Names of Virtual Machine files changed after SVMotion

  To date I've seen point interesting when I was trying to SVMotion. Here it goes

  I have a virtual machine called base01 (as it is show VC), but the real name of this virtual machine is ROMBASE02 (the console I see all files including VMX, vmdk etc...). I found this, because I tried to do with unsuccessful SVMotion. later, I tried to make SVMotion with ROMBASE02.vmx and success. After completing of SVMotion I found that all the files of the virtual machine has changed for base01.

  How it is possible an idea?

  as Jean-Marie said, if you have a vCenter VM that does not match the data store named naming convention, if you move (cold migrate or sVMotion) the virtual machine in another data store, it will change the datstore file to match the name of the object in vCenter.

  I can record is more than all of the new bookmarks after update to Firefox 40.0.2.
  I have over 1000 bookmarks and also use xMarks.
  I tried to remove 5 bookmarks and save a new bookmark, but it does not work.
  When I click on the bookmark star, stars in the bookmarks folder jumps, but does not record, it does not offer the possibility of filing in the subfolder right it me and the star is not awarded (there should be one filled with stars when the Web site is updated bookmark)

  Thank you for your help. I tried the maintenance of places without success. I have disabled xMarks, but it made no difference, I couldn't save all new bookmarks. I went on the site help above and deleted the "places.sqlite" file and recreates a new file, but it didn't work. I uninstalled Firefox full using IOBit Uninstaller and reinstalled, but I found this program does not delete the profile folder (used to have a checked during uninstall of Firefox, but it seems to have disappeared in the latest versions). The problem persisted.

  Finally, I took a screenshot of all my addons. Then, I uninstalled Firefox again, then delete the entire folder profiles (located very usefully described in the second link above https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file )
  I reinstalled Firefox, reinstalled xMarks and connected and transferred all my favorites, I reinstalled all my previous addons and ALTO - it now everything works perfectly!

  Hello

  1. when exactly you get this error?

  3 are you facing problems with the monitor?

  Look for error messages in the event viewer for detailed error and after return of information messages.

  Open event viewer

  Tossenotify.exe is a file of the TOSHIBA Corporation belonging to the product TOSHIBA SSD monitor business processes.

  You can put the computer in a clean boot state and check the issue.

  Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

• Change tracking (CTK) block is supported for this virtual machine, but was refused. This will increase the CPU proxy and consumption of IOP.

  I have problems with a client of VMware image-level in an EMC Avamar backup.  So far, we have not been able to find information about this message in the backup log file.  It is originally the backup to take a very long period of time (on average 10-11 hours).

  2014-02-28 14:20:57 avvcbimage < 14681 > Info: change tracking (CTK) block is supported for this virtual machine, but was refused. This will increase the CPU proxy and consumption of IOP.

  We cannot determine why CBT is "denied".  Has anyone here run across this issue before or seen any other type of backup VMware image have denied CBT?

  Everything I checked watch that CBT is successfully activated since the file vmx for the customer to the Avamar config.

  ESXi host is Enterprise Plus 4.1.0 260247

  After spending some time on this issue, the ultimate resolution withdrew the Avamar vm and then add it again.  After that, CBT began to work properly.  It seems that there is a parameter that has been 'stuck' pertaining to this virtual machine that wasn't behaving properly.
