• VMware workstation vm not listed, after migration

  The Organization has just migrated my pc. Migration of post that vmware workstation console is not listed the virtual machines. The migration involved, creating a new user in the new field that seem to have created the problem. The migration has been copied on my stuff together of old of the user for new users. So, I always files vm for the virtual machine to C:\Users\my-new-user\Documents\Virtual Machines.

  To start the virtual machine, I created a new virtual machine using the hard file. This seems to start the virtual machine where I left. So, in summary, I'm looking for:

  1 / how to list all the virtual machines on the console of vmware worstation as before for the new user

  2 / when I re - create a new virtual machine using a hard disk existing a VM, I see many files as hard

  vmname.VMDK

  vmname - s001.vmdk

  vmname - s002.vmdk

  .

  .

  .

  .

  .

  .

  vmname - s025.vmdk

  
  

  Should what file I use? I used the "vmname.vmdk" to create and it works
  

  If all the files have been migrated, you don't need to create new VMs. simply open the configuration (.vmx) from the file menu of VMware Workstation virtual machine files.

• VMWare Workstation 11 mouse issues

  I had a mouse and keyboard issues with VMWare workstation for awhile now so I thought that I would like to tender hand for more help.

  I have several Virtual Machines (Linux, Windows 8, Windows Server), who doesn't take the host mouse or keyboard. I've upgraded to Workstation 11 thought that would fix it but it did not. I manually upgraded the improved keyboard driver that now allows the keyboard to work within the virtual machine. Mouse still broken - I see the cursor, but it does not move. I try Ctrl + G, does not work. I tried to reinstall the VMWare tools, but you must have access to the guest operating system to do so. I tried to install Windows 10 VM last night but could not go beyond the wizrd of installation because the mouse does not work.

  Is this a problem with my mouse host driver? It's just a classic USB mouse. Is there the VM Ware drivers specific to the mouse. Please help, because google is not. I don't want to just switch to Hyper-V

  HEY buddy,

• Migration from VmWare Workstation to a server solution

  I am running 8 virtual machines of Windows XP inside VMWare Workstation on Windows 2008 (which I use as a workstation) in a box of Quad Core with 8 GB RAM.

  My plan is to move the virtual machines of Windows XP on a separate server and possibly add a bit more to their number. I would also like to migrate the server functions of the current WIn2k8 box on that same server. These functions are the portion of light file, very lightweight SQL server and a few other minor services.

  I am happy with VMWare Workstation and in particular the VMWare Tools application, because it makes the Windows XP virtual machines as reagent as if they were not VMs. It is important that after the migration, the virtual machines are as sensitive as they are now, given that I have would be to connect to them via ethernet to a Vista/Windows 7 machine by any means is the best (Office distance or something else).

  I would like to know what solution I should opt for, I think that the options are either ESX/ESXi (what is the difference here?) - am I right that the best way to buy, as part of VMWare Server or VMware vSphere - 1.x on WIndows Server.

  I have no requirements of availability/redundancy.

  This means that ESX has a management console - what is a Linux kernel, you can perform operations as if you were on a Linux machine.

  ESXi uses a very small SSH server and officially there is no way to interact with the machine on the console - everything is done by outside

  They give the same ESX features no matter what version you use, just to manage that you need to do differently.

  Of course ESX/ESXi works that on some hardware - there is a HCL and also a community supported the list machines that are capable of runnning ESXi, but are not supported by VMware.

  VMware server - can run on practically a Windows y / OS Linux

  Good luck to you ventures!

• VMWare Fusion 3 migration to Windows VMWare Workstation

  Yes, it can.

• 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!

• Questions to install VMware Workstation

  Hello everyone and thank you for your interest in my post.  For the last 6 months I spent reviewing messages to build and run a secure Channel 5 on a laboratory at home and collected a lot of information.  Budget delays I am not near my goal I thought I'd be so I thought I would get something on my current equipment with VMware Workstation.

  I got a 64 bit Windows 7 with Intel I7 processor gaming computer and wanted to add Workstation 8 or 9 now that it is out.  Finally, I would like to build some virtual labs, but now want to get running in the virtual world.

  Help for the following questions would be appreciated.

  1 install Workstation 8 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer or do a clean install on the computer and run a Windows 7 as a virtual machine?

  If a clean install Workstation 8 or 9 is recommended how could I get my image of Windows 7 today converted to a virtual machine before the clean install?

  Guess the question would be, is I there a VM tool that can convert an image of current computer hardware in a virtual machine so that I can run on a new installation of VMware Workstation 9?

  2. what steps should be taken to migrate from a hardware configuration to a configuration of the VM on the same box?

  3. what risks are there to lose data?

  4. what license issued or limitations can I exect meet when I create several virtual machines, alias windows, Linux and others?  Can you build and run several different VMS at the same time?

  5. return to the VM tools, I know on the side of Vsphere there are tools to create virtual machines for ESXi, but what tools are there for Workstation 8 or 9 build and run virtual machines?

  That ye may know that my training and the ability to understand your answers I was in the field of information technology since 1990.  Currently, I am a network engineer and have experience as a non-virtuelle system administrator installs computer and server and operation.

  Thanks again to all who help out.  I hope that once I get the speed I can contribute to the community as well.

  Since you are a "Network Engineer and have experience as a system administrator" then IMO shouldn't really ask!   How hard is it to type 'physical to virtual' in Google and get to VMware vCenter Converter?  Also read the documentation on it as well as VMware Workstation!   Yes I know you said "on non-virtuelle installs computer and server and operation" however do practically is fundamentally not different then do it physically, although with virtualization, there are additional methods that can be used, as using an ISO Image vs optical media to install from, etc.  Seriously with your course, you should be able to install VMware Workstation, browse and examine the different menu commands and create VM almost without having to read the documentation however takes the time to at least he skim initially and then jump in.    As a tip activate everything installs Windows without first installing VMware Tools, if you plan to install VMware Tools in the virtual machine, and wait until you are sure that you have configured as you want, and then select as appropriate.

  One thing you'll need to do if you are using the latest version of VMware vCenter Converter you will need to select the correct mass storage controller as you walk through the wizard because it is by default in the IDE and you want LSI SAS with Windows 7.

• Windows 2008 R2 as a guest cannot get the IP address of the server (VMware workstation 7.1.3 on Windows 7) professional

  Hi gurus,

  I installed VMware workstation 7.1.3 on my Windows 7 laptop professional x64bit and I can run my old VM (XP) without any problems in this regard. And I tried to install a new client (Windows 2008 R2 Standard x 64) on this subject, when I put the NETWORK card in the deck, he cannot get the IP address from my DHCP, always show me error "Windows has detected an IP address conflict...". ", I tried the IP static installation for her also, same result.

  I tried to install a new windows Server 2003 as a guest (also defined as a network bridge), it works very well, can get the IP address from my DHCP or can set a static IP address with no problems. Does anyone have a similar experience on this combination? Any solution to this issue?

  Best regards

  BUGBUG

  I recently managed to get bridge network work with a Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 guest in VMW Workstation 7.1.4.385536 on a host Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate.

  VirtualBox 4.0.4.70112 is installed on the host and disabling the 'VMware Bridge Protocol' in the 'VirtualBox in Ethernet Adapter"on the host was necessary.

  Outpost Firewall Pro 7.1.0.3415.520.1247 is also installed on the host computer and I used some information from the link below to add some necessary firewall rules.

• VMware workstation 7.0 with tools freezes and is inaccessible intermittently. Then recovers as if nothing had happened

  1. Given Info:

  Host server: HP 585g 5 series with 2 x Quad Core AMD procs and 32 GB of RAM.

  Host operating system: RHEL5U4 64-bit with no other applications installed except vmware workstation 7.0

  VMware Guest storage device: we use a NAS (5 X 1 TB SATA disks) on the same subnet as the host server running Jumbo frames. (Since the introduction of the SIN, we migrated virtual machine of the local/u01 to nfs mounted IP: / vmimages using hard materials & wsize and rsize = 32768)

  VMware Guest: 2 X OEL4U7 & 2 RHEL4U8 X 64-bit (all have completely disc and 5 GB or 8 GB of RAM) during the construction of each virtual computer we select the procs and 2cores by proc, giving to each 4procs of the machine. All machines are bridge with their own Maildo IP do not necessarily all the VMS at the same time, but we do not run a pair of them for development and testing. We have vmware tools installed on all of our virtual machine. We aren't on a network of single private from the internet so it didn't there virtually no chance that I would be allowed to get the newspaper.

  1. Unknown problem

  During the execution of our virtual machine, we'll do the normal work (construction of an Oracle database) and then exit no where the screen freezes.  When this happens, it may be 30 sec, up to 5 minutes or more before the screen becomes available. developers discovered question b/c they could get kicked from the server (ssh); and then she started to occur frequently on the console as well. I have a monitor server that I use to ping the machine while it hangs and when I ping the ip address of the virtual machine that freezes up, it will return the host is unreachable, then all of a sudden the ping works, and life resumes. I have not all snapshot settings or anything like that set up.

  The first looking through discussions, we thought it was our problem mounting NFS or the time sync issue b/n host and VM, we very well those who listen now, but nothing helped.

  -One of our colleagues believe it might have something to do with the use of multiple processors, instead he Recon using a proc by VM and a carrot...

  Question: what I read, in the best practices of VMware, we should be good, but do not know why we freeze all the time. Help, please.

  Hello

  If you have opened a support case I can't help you any further.

  I don't work for VMware and do not have access to these areas

• VMWare Workstation and Windows 7 64 bit

  Someone had problems with VMWare Workstation running Windows 7 64 bit? My computer hangs when creating the virtual machine guests. I also have VirtualBox running very stable with Windows 7. I was wondering if anyone has had problems? VMWare has a new version of 7 who suppose to be stable with Windows 7. I am skeptical. Your comments are welcome.

  "There is a time and place for that. The time is... Never. You can figure out the place on your own.

  Hi, I faced the same problem, and now I have corrected this issue.

  He was vmnet.ko, at least for me.

  Here's how to solve,

  You can find the latest vmnet.ko of /lib/modules/~previous_kernel_version~/misc/vmnet.ko

  Copy vmnet.ko into your current/lib/modules/your_current_version/misc folder.

  And then run vmware, if you fail at the first, please run again.

  If so, you can run vmwre!

  I hope this will help you.

  Good day.

• 6u2 ESXi host nested on VMware Workstation for Linux referee v12

  Hello all, I have

  I have a lab environment virtual running in VMware Workstation for Linux v12, and my ESXi hosts do not work correctly on one of the virtual networks. All my troubleshooting suggests a problem with nested ESXi hosts that may be a bug, but I want to assure you that I did everything properly first. That's why I post here with the hope that if I made a mistake that maybe someone else can point out he me.

  Physical system

  8 core Intel Xeon 2.1 GHz CPU

  128 GB of RAM

  OS - kernel Linux 64 - bit w/3.19.0-32-generic Linux Mint 17.3 (fully updated from this announcement)

  VMware Workstation 12 Pro - 12.1.1. Build-3770994 (fully updated from this announcement)

  Nested ESXi host VM

  ESXi v6.0.0 (Build 3825889, completely updated from this announcement)

  4 cards 'physical' (only 3 used for now)

  -all use the e1000 NIC hardware virtual, but also tried vmxnet3 NIC with no difference

  -vSwitch0 use vmnic0 & 1 vmnet16 of virtual network in a pair of active / standby

  -vSwitch1 uses vmnic2 on network virtual vmnet18

  -vmk0 used for management on vSwitch0 and vmk1 for iSCSI on vSwitch1

  -"Promiscuous" mode and forged passes enabled on all Port vSwitch groups (activating or turning off these features makes no difference)

  Test performed until now

  I checked that all the IP addresses and network masks used are correct.

  With the help of vmkping I ping other nodes on the network vmnet16 with success.

  With the help of vmkping I tried to ping the other nodes in the network vmnet18, but that has failed.

  I have depolyed other non - ESXi VMs on the vmnet18 network, and they are able to ping each other, but are unable to ping or ping by the ESXI host.

  I tried various material virtual NIC as mentioned before, but without changes in the results.

  I tried to use only local network instead of the vmnet18 guest network segments with no change in results.

  When I find out the status of the network adapters on the ESXi host through vCenter or host incorporated client vmnic0 & 1 time display network information, but vmnic2 shows no networks. Yet, I know that there is a network with different VM communicate on it. Moreover, I was able to get all of this work on a Windows system running 10 Workstation (this is the laptop that my employer gives me with).

  Having built nested ESXi labs on different platforms as well as physical environments in the past, I'm very confused as to why I can't get this special configuration to work. At this point my gut tells me that this is probably a bug any with the nested themselves ESXi hosts. Since I can get all this work on vmnet16 including the management of ESXi hosts and the VCSA that I use, I am sure that my vSwitch configuration is correct (other than the IP address space and vmnic configurations is bascially the same). Because I can get other virtual machines to communicate over the network vmnet18 I don't see how can be a VMware Workstation for the issue physical Linux host. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? I read on the ESXi hosts nested under VMware Workstation after having known problems and bugs with networking. If anyone else has experienced this?

  Thanks for any help others can provide!

  Kind regards

  Patrick

  Well, the problem is now resolved. The problem was what covelli was trying to explain, but I couldn't because the physical host network adapters being mentioned.

  The problem on the Linux host, but it was a problem of permissions with the virtual Ethernet adapters. The following article has the fix:
  With the help of Ethernet virtual cards in Promiscuous Mode on a Linux host (287) | VMware KB

  Even if I launched the workstation under the root user I have yet met this problem and which still makes no sense to me, but change the permissions solve the problem. I was not getting an error message on my Linux Mint and Ubuntu system, but when I tried on a second box of Linux Mint that I just got the error has been generated, and the error message was the above link it contains.

  So, here's what I learned:

  (1) the question has nothing to with a VMware Workstation definition that you can configure.

  (2) the question has nothing to do with a physical network card.
  (3) the question has nothing to do with any vmnic on the nested ESXi host.

  (4) apparently virtual Ethernet adapters are not the correct permissions when created.

  All you have to do to fix this is:

  (1) open a terminal.

  (2) run the command ' sudo chmod a + rw/dev/vmnet * "(don't forget to run this each time that you create a new virtual network).

  You can also create a group, as shown in the link above and simply give this group the correct permissions. Personally, I think it's easier to just give everyone the rw permission.

  I appreciate the help that others have offered. I did not understand what was asked for in previous answers because of the terms that have been used.

• 15 Ubuntu won't start in VMware workstation 12 after a recent update of Ubuntu

  I'm quite new to the environment virtual system and linux. Someone could me help on my question below?

  I have a virtual system installed using VMware workstation 12. It works fine, until the upgrade of Ubuntu this morning.

  I have no idea what the update installed.

  After the required reboot, Windows VMware has always stop a black page.

  Before everything, there were some posts that I think they should be useful to target the issue here.

  

  He said:

  SMbus host controller not activated!

  No valid rapl area found within the package 0

  Thank you very much for your help!

  -Ninggang

  I found a solution!

  There is problem of ubuntu, new kernel is bad and it's a bug.

  To start again just hold SHIFT while your machine virtual machine to the menu shows ubuntu boot.

  Select Advanced, then choose more old kernel version and that's all.

  After you restart your virtual machine it always start on black screen, you need to delete newes kernel version linux-headers - 4.2.0 - 30 to begin on the old version and problem SOLVED!

  remove the kernel:

  sudo apt-get remove linux-image-4.2.0-30-generic
sudo update-grub2

  reboot.

• How to configure the network adapter when you run ESXi on VmWare workstation?

  How to configure the network card installing ESXi on VmWare workstation 6.0.0?

  These are the options: I tried bridged, host-only NAP.  None of them works

  

  What Miss me? driver or adapater?

  I'm running on vmware workstation on Windows 7 with Lenovo laptop.

  in the configuration of your virtual machine, the main issue is memory. you gave the 2 GB of RAM, whereas ESXi 6 cannot go forward without minimum 4 GB of RAM.

  If please have 4 GB of RAM and re-run Setup. you will get through.

  message about the network card should also not appear after that. What kind of network you choose depends on your need.

• 'VMware Workstation does not support the multiple monitors feature in other guests'

  When I click the icon "Cycle multiple monitors", I get the message "VMware Workstation does not support the multiple monitors feature in other guests."  Google found me no hits on it.  Anyone know what that means or how I could get multiple monitors to work?

  The host OS is Windows 7 Professional x 64 with service pack 1 applied.  The guest operating system is Debian Linux, version 8, also 64-bit.

  $ uname - a

  Linux debianvm 3.16.0 - 4-amd64 SMP 3.16.7 - ckt9-3 #1 ~ deb8u1 Debian (2015-04-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux

  The virtual machine was created with VirtualBox, then exported to a .ova file, then imported into VMware Workstation.  VMware Workstation is version 11.1.2 build-2780323.

  -Steve

  Hi Steve and welcome on VMware communities!

  With your virtual machine turned off the power, go into the settings of your virtual machine and on the Options tab, under general, select the client OS type: Linux > Debian 7 64-bit.  Then try to turn your virtual computer and see if it works.  (8 debian is quite close to Debian 7.)

  See you soon,.
