VMware Fusion Pro 5.0.1 dies suddenly

I just upgraded from Fusion 4 to Fusion Pro 5.0.1 on OS X 10.7.5 and seem to be affected by what should have been a bug probably blocking release, because it weakens the App to die.

In the window of the Virtual Machine library, at the bottom where it shows the space used by the virtual machine, there is a small icon "recharge."  When I click on it, after about 1.5 seconds, the following is written in the console log:

05/11/12 6:48:07.999 PM [0 x 0-0x21b31b1].com.vmware.fusion: NOT_IMPLEMENTED bora/lib/disklib/sparseChecker.c:1291

05/11/12 6:48:08.012 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501: ([0 x 0-0x21b31b1].com.vmware.fusion [56737]) came out with the code: 1

05/11/12 6:48:08.114 PM vmnet-dhcpd: select: interrupted system call

05/11/12 6:48:08.114 PM vmnet-dhcpd: leave.

...
A bunch more is written, mostly cleaning other VMware (vmnet, vmmon, vsock, vmci) modules.
I tried to search the community forums and haven't seen any mention of this by someone else, which surprises me.  It is always reproducible behavior.
Also, try to reduce the disk using the recommended 'Clean Up' button seems to weigh to halfway through, requiring a Force Quit to end the application.
Pointers to patches or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

Hello dossy,

The Fusion product manager sometimes read the forums... but I have read the source code, so I take it on the product manager. (Sorry, spb2011.)  Please, trust me on this one.  If the virtual computer is running, your VMDK is corrupted now.

This failure currently kills the user interface (unfortunately) because the specific type of corruption is very rare and is not something that we can put back easily.  We have not yet implemented the code to display the dire situation for the user.  You are right: we should not kill Fusion for this, and it's something we can implement.  I'll drop an internal bug report to take care of this.

What I do is what allows you to bypass the part that we have not implemented: once that us to implement, it would likely post a dialog box saying "your virtual disk is damaged in a ugly way, and I don't know how to fix it.", followed by a large part of the same statement that I gave in my previous post : Make sure you have a backup, take a new backup, check the drive host for consistency problems, then try again...

Why your VM seems to work very well?  Two possible reasons come to mind: when the VM is running, we realize every possible on a VMDK, critical consistency check while performance will the virtual machine.  When you click the button to refresh the information on space use the VM, we take the time to look at records more carefully, so that we find the error of consistency that I describe, which unfortunately brings the app of Fusion to a grinding halt.  The explicit consistency check also covers all of the virtual disk and its snapshots, while corruption in a neighborhood rarely used virtual drive or in its chain of snapshot is not likely to be detected during normal operation.

I hope this helps!

  • Cannot create folders shared with VMware Fusion Pro 8

    Just updated to VMware Fusion Pro 8 and having problems of shared folders.

  • How can I add a former VM from VMware Fusion Pro library?

    Hello.

    How to manually add an old Mac OS X VM (v10.7.x in Spanish) in the library of VMware Fusion Pro v6.0.2? Usually, VMware autoadds in my library, but it is not by adding at all. How can I do it manually?

    Thank you in advance.

    If you use the file > open... command in the VMware Fusion menu, should be, where it exists already, then also fill an entry in the Virtual Machine library.  Otherwise, you can also drag and drop the entire Virtual Machine in the Virtual Machine library.  For the virtual machines that are not packaged, use the .vmx config file.

    That worked earlier, but I understood what caused it:library of Virtual Machine: shared vs not?

    It was the permissions on the files of my VM. If they are full access to all accounts, it is shared. :/

  • VMWare Fusion pro 7.1.1 - blocking running yosemite as a guest problem

    Hi all

    I have a Yosemite pro running (mid-2014, 16 GB of ram video card w / discrete) MacBook. When I run a guest of yosemite, the video is very lag, and the virtual machine is generally not very handy.

    The guest has 4 cores, 4 GB ram, 256 MB of video memory (using the discrete card for 3D applications only) and implements the latest vmware tools 'material' and vmware. I disabled the sound and bluetooth.

    Is that what I can do to improve performance?

    Thank you!

    Yes.  Please check this blog for the manual workaround and a program called "BeamOff" that will provide relief without manual effort.  https://derflounder.WordPress.com/2014/12/13/improving-Yosemite-VM-performance-in-VMware-Fusion/

    I am not the author, and cannot vouch for the port version, however.  I downloaded the source, reviewed and updated on mine, just to be sure.  But it will fix the problem that you are experiencing.  (You need to run the application in the prompt, if it isn't obvious!)

  • VMWare Fusion Pro can see the ESXi data store but not VM on it.

    Hi all

    I have a MacPro 5.1 I am under ESXi on via a USB key. The MacPro has 4 SATA drives configured as stores of data with VM on some of them.

    When connecting to the ESX host through the 'connect to server' Fusion Pro I can see data banks but not the virtual machine.

    The virtual machine can be seen on the ESX host, when connecting via SFTP.

    Any ideas?

    & I thought about it... I need to register for the virtual machine

  • VMWare Fusion Pro

    Hi all

    Two questions: can I create of virtual machines with Fusion Pro? And I can change the hardware settings on virtual machines with Fusion Pro? i.e. Add another network connection, modify a serial port, change the hard drive sizes, etc...

    Context: I buy a new laptop for a company I put in place, and I'm looking at a mac. Most of my software is windows based, which is not a problem, because I already use VMWare workstation on my PC. But I can not run on a mac Workstation, so if I need to create new virtual machines, I have to go back to a PC workstation, or can Fusion Pro do?

    Option B is to create a virtual Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8 using my existing PC, then basically save them as models and the clone necessary to make new machines.

    Option C is to use the PC to create a windows virtual machine, and then use Fusion to run VMWare Workstation on the virtual machine on the mac, and save the virtual machine, I create the machine host to run them using VMWare fusion. But that means the purchase of two packages, and besides, I'm worried that Xzibit will appear and say "Yo dawg, I you herd as VM" or I'll violate the space/time continuum and cause a black hole

    If anyone knows where I can find a comparison chart between Fusion and Fusion Pro would be great as well

    Thank you!

    VMware Fusion while having only the features of VMware Workstation however it is much more then what VMware Player is and can create and modify Virtual Machines.

    The comparison to VMware Fusion vs VMware Fusion Professional is right in front of you to the VMware Fusion product page!

  • Download VM to ESXi using VMware Fusion Pro for Mac

    I am new to this game and to this community so forgive me if I missed a few points of etiquette. (I'll probably go to VMware support with that in a few days)

    So I have ESXi running on my Mac Mini. Nice. I get the https:// 'Home Page' and I can browse the unused data center. So I upgraded to Fusion 7 Pro to manage and download the VMs of my Mac - but no luck with downloading at all.

    First attempt, he lamented the "hardware version", I had updated to 11.

    So I tried another again just on v10 and all I got was an indeterminate progress bar and then ' closely linked server after 0 bytes of response read"(see attached screenshot)

    Have I missed an obvious step, or is there a problem with this Mini. (He has been on the shelf for centuries with a note on the SSD inside do not start OSX correctly, that's why I thought it would be a good candidate for the installation of the trial ESXi)

    Bravo for any help/pointers for a noob

    I think that the local SSD storage must simply have been duff. I wiped another mini and it seems ok download. (If I had not missed a step. Go, me!)

  • Internet on vmware fusion does not

    Internet on vmware fusion worked perfectly until yesterday, then suddenly it stopped working even if it still works on my mac. I have the new mac book pro (without the snow leopard)

    Thank you for your help.

    and btw im really stupid in theise things so if you could just tell me step by step what I need to do... Thank you

    Before you start giving more attitude, realize that most people here do on their free time.  Not everyone is online every day.  If possible the person who has an answer for you, may not be online for several days.

    In addition, you are asking in the wrong forum.  You will get more answers in the Fusion forum.  This is the sustained community forum Hardwware/software for the hardware not supported, which is not the merger.  At the top of the forum page, there is an information box "before the announcement of this community please read On the CSHWSW.

    Then take a look at HOWTO: ask (and answer) Questions for some suggestions on info provide in the future so that it will be easier for others to help you.  As it is, you havne't say much more that "he doesn't."  You don't say what troubleshooting have you tried in addition to the screenshot.  "I have the new Macbook Pro, but without the snow leopard.  Well, the new MBP would have Snow Leopard.  But as indicated in the document related, different versions may have different problems if the version or build number is often useful.  (e.g.: OSX 10.5.1 is different than OSX 10.5.7 but both are OSX Leopard.)

    Now, as to your question.  Let your virtual machine to NAT.  It will use your Mac a internet connection.  I'm assuming that your Mac has internet connectivity. (for example: you can launch Safari.)  Did you reboot the virtual machine and your Mac?  (Do not sleep or suspend, but a full power off the coast and then restart.)  I rarely reboot my Mac so I know it's easy to forget.

  • Bootcamp Windows 7 cannot run by VMWare Fusion 8.1.0

    I use MBP (13 "mid-2010) 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Nvidia 320 M 256 MB

    That's what I did in chronological order

    (1) improved my MBP to El Capitan 10.11.1

    (2) my VMWare Fusion Pro 7 did not work - asked me to upgrade to version 8 to access my Windows 7 Boot Camp

    (3) no choice... I had to upgrade to VMWare Fusion... fact to 8.0.0... my Boot Camp Windows could not always run... .deleted previous Virtual Machine... again added to select Windows in boot camp...

    (4) does not work either... just got a free upgrade to VMWare Fusion 8.1.0... now the question is much worse... when I try to add my windows Boot Camp... That said:

    " Volume the Boot Camp is not prepared to stand as a virtual machine. It seems that Windows don't is is not properly stopped the last time it was used.

    "To shut down Windows properly, go to System Preferences > startup disk and set Windows as the start-up operation.

    (5) tried to run windows to startup as suggested... says NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND... it seems that my windows boot file is missing?

    Wait a second... (I don't know why I did... but I 'played' with the utility drive Partition and tried to expand my (not accessible) windows... between step 2) and 3) above

    Ideas to solve my problem...

    Appreciated. Thank you.

    Step 1 has caused the problem. It may be easily fixable. Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?

    diskutil list

    Cs diskutil list

    sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

    sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

    The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

  • With the help of Fusion Pro license to activate Win7 installation of VMWare Player

    According to http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion-professional/compare.html, Fusion Pro includes a license for the use of VMWare Player Plus. However, when you try to activate the Player Plus (reader-> help-> enter license key...) and enter the key, nothing happens. (The warning at the bottom of the screen that my evaluation license will expire in N days persists). Any help thrown my way is appreciated.

    Best,

    I think this might be the post: trial license expired blocks of VMWare Workstation without drive

    I did an uninstall of the program and then started across the registry of rooting for any instance of vmware (Ctrl-F) and he nuking (not for the faint of heart).

    I think that what he did was to find the license key, who lives under a key 'VMWare, Inc.' (there are several of them) (note that it was not under the path mentioned in the thread above).

    I also cleaned up C:\ProgramData\VMWare, which contained the cruft of various other software products VMware I had been assessed, but had uninstalled.

    Thanks for the help,

  • Can I run Snow Leopard with the latest version of VMware Fusion on a MacBook Pro for mid-2012?

    I have a Snow Leopard install disc (version 10.6.3), but my MacBook Pro for mid-2012 allow me to install it.  Is this possible using the latest version of VMware Fusion?

  • MacBook Pro + Thunderbolt display vs VMWare Fusion

    Configuration:

    -New MacBook Pro

    -New Thunderbolt display

    -Keyboard and mouse plugged into the USB ports on Thunderbolt display

    -VMWare Fusion 4.0.2 running a Ubuntu 10.04 VM

    If I turned the laptop without the screen plugged and then plug into the screen, the keyboard and the mouse (connected on the screen) do not respond. I need to unplug the display and plug it in again, and then, usually, the devices will work. I'm going back with Apple support, and he got up to what they wanted me to ship everything back - they have not seen this before.

    I then had a hunch that merger (which is still running) may cause a problem. Of course - if I stop or suspend my VM before connecting the screen, everything works fine. So I strongly suspect a bug in Fusion.

    Anyone else seeing this?

    Jack Orenstein

    VMware Fusion 4.1 addresses a compatibility issue with the USB devices connected via a Thunderbolt display. You will be prompted to auto-update the next time you restart VMware Fusion (or manually check the updates).

  • VMware Fusion and Macbook Pro bi - GPU.

    Hey you guys,

    I have vmware fusion before on my white macbook. I was watching the bi - GPU 17 "Macbook Pro and

    I was wondering witch GPU would have use of VMware if I installed Windows XP on double 17 GPU "Macbook Pro.

    The GPU on board is a NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M... The dedicated is an NVIDIA GeForce 9600 M GT.

    Waiting for answer,

    Thank you

    P.S. The VMware rules

    N ° all THE graphics are emulated, and all instructions are carried out by the host CPU.  Well, technically, the graphics are drawn to the video card in the host / drivers... video and 3d graphics require certain levels of video hardware and driver support.  So if you want 3d graphics in your comments you will need a video card that can support it. but I think that NVidia card, you mention will support him.
