• VMware Fusion 7 and VMware Tools - leak memory in Debian comments

  At some point during my updates from Mac OS X to Yosemite, VMware Fusion to 7.x and my Debian a guest to 8.0 "Jessie" on my 2012 Mackbook Pro, leaking memory of the Linux kernel is developed.  If I follow these steps, then I'd lose soon about 3 GB memory of the core area.

  1. Install Debian Jessie in a new machine virtual de VMware Fusion
  2. Install open-vm-tools or VMware Tools bundled.
  3. Perform an intensive IO as operation simply cat/dev/zero |-c 1000000000 head >/tmp/test.txt.
  4. Smem - wtk and see ~ 3 GB memory under the dynamics of the kernel memory, benefit.

  I opened the 15709682007 assistance request and the representative said that they will fix the problem in a future release. In the meantime, I have what seems to be a workaround for someone else that is affected.  Basically, pulling packages from backports jessie seems to have solved the problem.  This is based on the comments added to open-vm-tools.

  1. Add the Debian repository -backports jessie in /etc/apt/sources.list
  2. sudo apt - get update; sudo apt - get install t Jessie-backports open-vm-tools-dkms open-vm-Tools-Office
  3. sudo apt - get - t jessie-backports dist-upgrade (install kernel 4.1)
  4. Restart comments

  A few quick thoughts:

  1. If you have several virtual machines (or other programs) running on your computer host and VMware Fusion detects that there is memory pressure on your host computer, it uses the "balloon" (vmw_balloon for the latest distributions of Linux) Guest pilot to fly some memory of the guest OS.  This memory "stolen" would appear as memory Dynamics non-cache kernel inside the guest.  Running "sudo rmmod vmw_balloon" should release all memory climbed to the guest OS.  Note that using the balloon driver generally improves the performance of the guest and host, despite the appearance of fear "used memory" inside the guest-"used memory" is just a thing of accounting that we had to use in order to change the priority of the memory between the host and the guest.  It is not "used" in the conventional sense of the term.

  2. I believe that recent versions of virtual hardware non-cache dynamic kernel allocate the necessary memory for SVGA and 3D features (display RAM, texture RAM, etc.).  Disable graphic 3D acceleration or by reducing the amount of graphics shared memory if you are using a new version of virtual hardware (both in the VM > settings... > display) might help.  Decommissioning of a virtual equipment as early (in the VM > settings... > compatibility) can also help.

  See you soon,.

• 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.

• VMware Fusion 5 and upgrade to Windows 8-

  Hello

  I am trying to install a partition from Windows 7 to Windows 8 bootcamp. The installer is at 30% and dies. The error message is "Windows 8 installation doesn't have." The process stops and returns me to Windows 7.

  I ran the process a few times with the same results. I ran the upgrade wizard. He tells me about a secure boot is only not available and maybe I need to install an application to play DVDs on Windows 8.

  Someone at - it advice? Bit a noob to Windows stuff so apologies if I'm missing out some crucial information. I have had a look through the forum and could not see anyone have reported a similar problem.

• VMWare Fusion 7 and still no USB 3 drivers...

  I'm a little disappointed that even after upgrading from 6 to 7 that I get always no VMWare USB 3.0 native support is Windows 7...

  I don't know if they have it works for Windows 8.1 but certainly, it does not work for my main Windows 7 VM.

  The case is really technical over an entire year, it would not be implemented in 7? Help me understand.

  Disappointed...

  P.S. If anyone has found a solution, please you intrigue me.

  kungfuu72 wrote: help me understand.

  This topic has already been covered ad nauseam!

  The bottom line is Windows 7 not delivered with the native USB 3 support for skins, and Microsoft has not provided any service pack or upgrade to Windows 7 to other native USB 3 support.  Therefore, it is a matter of Microsoft not a matter of VMware!    VMware choose that support the native functionality of the OS and Windows 8/8.1 provides the native USB 3 support of skins and as such VMware support USB 3 in Windows 8/8.1.

• VMWARE Fusion 5 and my iMac

  Hello

  I'm new to the forum. Thank you in advance for any help with my problem.

  I bought a new iMac yesterday and installed 5 merger with Windows 7. When I go to 'Computer' on side Windows and check the amount of hard disk space that I said only 59 gb. However, I have a 1 terabyte of hard drive. I intend only using Windows so I would like to have as much free HD as possible. How can I do show more disc space available for me?

  Thanks again!

  Hello Maxschle,

  Welcome to the VMware communities forum.

  While you can as indicated in another response using Bootcamp, bootcamp, of course, mean "restart" and only Windows and restart again if you want to use OS X.

  If you want to enjoy both (OS X and windows) operating systems at the same time, then virtualization is the answer.

  With regard to «the virtual hard disk more» You can do this when you start running out of space in your windows guest OS.

  It is MUCH easier to cultivate your drive as to reduce it, and as such I recommend to not do "as big as possible".

  In order to push the disc in your guest OS, switch it off completely (not to pause/resume /...) by using Shutdown in windows.

  Then, go to the menu merging 'Virtual Machine', 'Settings', 'Hard drive' and increase the size.

  At the start of your guest operating system, the virtual disk will be bigger.

  Hope this helps,

  -This includes several updates to Mac OS and VMware Fusion.

  -OS X 10.9.5 on both systems with the latest upgrades.

  -VMware Fusion 6 on all systems with the latest upgrades.

  -Virtual Machines on two almost identical systems - Windows 7, all derivatives of a VM database.

  
  

  Problem started only on iMac.

  
  

  In weeks, with the encouragement of support VMware and Apple have updated to Yosemite, installed VMware Fusion 7 and built Windows 8.1 scratch machines.

• VMware Fusion is not supported on this type of Mac (6.03 / 10.9.2)

  Hello

  After update VMware Fusion last updated, I can't open application.

  You cannot open the application "VMware Fusion" is not possible on this type of Mac.

  VMware: 6.0.3

  OS X: 10.9.2

  How can I fix?

  Thank you

  I assumed that since things worked very well with VMware Fusion 6.0.2 that it was merge that you are prompted to update and you did it through merger strictly said, which is correct?  If Yes, I download the installer of VMware Fusion website of VMware 6.0.3, remove the "/ Applications/VMware Fusion" App and then install from the downloaded installer.

• VMware Fusion 5 install W7 with USB

  Hello

  I am trying to install Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro retina (has no optical drive).

  On a Windows 8 machine I made an iso file of my Win 7 DVD.

  With WIndows 7 USB tool that I put is on my USB key.

  But when I connect my USB from VMware key, I get the message "the device 'JetFlash mass storage device' was unable to connect to its ideal host controller."

  Yesterdat I got this but it worked once but now I want to do it again and it does not work.

• Double click to upgrade to VMware Fusion 3. app

  What VMware Fusion s 4.0.1' "Double click to upgrade to VMware Fusion 3.app" really do?

  The ' to Started.app ' just says:

  "To upgrade to VMware Fusion

  1. drag the previous version of VMware Fusion to the trash. »

  .. .but does not seem to mention the 'double click' upgrade to VMware Fusion 3.app at all.

  I used the uninstall VMware Fusion 3.1.3's, program and after that the 'double click' upgrade to VMware Fusion 3.app does not seem to do anything.

  This http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1014529 , says < this="" automates="" the="" removal="" of="" fusion="" 3="" and="" the="" installation="" of="" fusion="" 4.=""> >

  Where 'this' is the 'double click to upgrade to VMware Fusion 3 app included in the installation of VMware Fusion image. "

  I had installed VMware Fusion 3 and used the app "Double click".  It appears a dialog box that asks you to copy stuff in Applications, and I clicked the next.

  After a dialog box with another opaque statement "during the upgrade, enter your previous license key:...» "that is not possible since the new key for version 4 is longer than the key to version 3.

  In addition, there are two buttons at the bottom right 'Upgrade Now' and 'OK '.   The author of the software even know what is meant by there?  Shameful!  I put the new longer key and went ahead and clicked 'OK' and the 'library of Virtual Machine' open window.

• VMware Fusion/Bootcamp does not properly.

  I'm under VMware Fusion 2.07 (Yes, I know version 3 came out, but money was tight) on an iMac 20 ". Mac OS X 10.6.4. I recently had the hard drive in this system upgrade, 300 GB to 1.5 TB; new installation of Mac OS X, all restored since my Time Machine backup, then installed Windows XP Home Edition, using boot camp. (300 GB partition.) So far, so good; It works well.

  When I say VMware to start the Bootcamp partition as a virtual machine, it goes through the usual process, then comes up with the dreaded error message: "the Boot Camp partition is not prepared to stand as a virtual machine. It seems that Windows is not stopped properly the last time it was used. »

  I tried to remove my configuration of VMware; I checked the partition tables and the types (the MBR and GUID alignment between them - as I told Windows to reformat the partition, rather than change the partitioning, it is what I expected); everything seems to be correct. I noted, however, that vmware-rawdiskCreator and fdisk print the size of the partition HFS + sub-1994391552, which seems to be strangely close (ie: bang on) an integer signed enveloping output in comparison with the tool GUID of. In exactly the same way, the beginning of the Windows partition is printed as 1993717760.

  Is it possible that this affects the failure, or is it just a loophole? I'm getting a little testy (although not significant at this stage, since I can afford now space drive needed to have a separate Windows for VMware image instead of joining the two together). I have attached the vmware.log in the hope that it might be useful.

  Your muchly.

  If the chkdsk command and Windows clean restart does not help, the only alternative is to force the partition to mount using the virtual machine. However, this should only serve as a last resort, since it can potentially corrupt data on the Windows file system. Make sure you have a backup of important data on the Boot Camp partition.

  To force the partition to mount, you will need to replace one of the files of the virtual machine for assistance. Go to Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Resources/naos-1.0.vmwarevm/ (use right click and view the contents of the package to get inside VMware Fusion.app and Ban - 1.0.vmwarevm). Then delete (or move to a backup) the reconfig.iso of the file and replace it with the version attached to my message.

  Note: this file is designed to work only with Fusion 2.0.7. Use it with newer versions will probably fail.

  This should allow the reconfiguration step to cross, and Windows can perform a check disk on first boot. If it isn't, it's probably a good idea to run chkdsk /f just in case.
