VMWare Player 3.1 supports 6 processors cores?

Hi all

Sorry for the newbie question. When you create a new virtual machine using VMware Player the number of hearts displayed in scrolling to the bottom of the list is 1,2,4 and 8 cores but not 6 carrots (even if the hosting system running a 6 core processor). Is it possible to create a virtual machine with 6 cores? Thanks in advance for your time!

While it can be done anyway I made.  As a general rule, I've found that with hosted virtualization products with more then 1 vCPU degrades often performance in the guest and the host unless the guest operating system and Applications are able to use the additional processors and even then it can be degraded performance however if you want to really do as a test, then look at the image below.

  • VMWare Player more does support disk VHDX image files?

    I use VMware Player to run a virtual machine on my desk and have successfully created a leave of a virtual hard disk file that contains an image of the drive system.

    I would like to now add a data disc image which is a file VHDX - it's too big for a virtual hard disk image - but VMware Player does not recognize this.

    Does anyone know if VMware Player Plus will accept such an image? Or even VMware Workstation?

    Thank you

    Mike

    Thanks for all this input that - after more experimentation - enabled me to solve my problem. I have two files created by disk2vhd utility Microsoft containing my system disk and my data disc. the first is a VHD file and a VHDX file because the data disk is greater than 2 TB. I wanted to create a virtual machine from these two files - on my Windows 7 host or my host of Windows 8. It is not possible on Windows 7 because the operating system does not support files VHDX editing as readers, but the following works on Windows 8:

    (a) Winimage use to convert the File System.VHD in System.VMDK (time consuming)

    (b) create a VM on the host WIndows 8, install the operating system later by removing the empty VMDK file and add System.VMDK as an IDE drive

    (c) editing the Data.VHDX file as a disk on the host Windows 8 attaching.

    (d) create a new. A VMDK file in the virtual machine that is large enough to hold all Data.VHDX (Yes, VMPlayer can create. More than 2 to - even on Windows 7, in this case the VMDK files)

    (e) sharing the drive created from file Data.VHDX as a shared folder in the virtual machine

    (f) copy its contents to the new. VMDK file

    Undoubtedly Ghost would be a better way to copy the file, but it seems to work for me.

    Thanks for your help - I think that closes this discussion.

  • You want to know how VMware player has demonstrated in supporting printer HP LJ P1100w USB devices for example.

    Original title: VMWARE Player, what went right?

    All of a sudden, VMWare Player [Win XP it] recognized and installed my printer HP LJ P1100w.  This, after being informed by them, by phone, that this freebie version does not support any usbs in addition to human and internal interface.  So, I decided to try to install my Deskjet 5400. I got a download HP upgrade package, uninstalled the existing software and Lo! VM has ask me to cut the host device and install it. Test page printed.

    What I want to know, since I can't get the response from VMWare, is how is it? There have not been updated for ages.

  • VMware player 2.5.2 - 156735 and 64 bit comments

    I have a laptop Lenovo T400 with Vista 64-bit, 8GB of RAM and processor Intel Core 2 duo T9800 @2. 93 GHz. I run Linux RH 4.0 AS 64-bit as a guest on her os. I downloaded the 2.5.2 - 156735 VMware Player and installed on Vista 64-bit. No problems so far. I'll build comments of RH Linux AS 4.0 64-bit on another VMware ESXi server and then copy it in Vista and convert it as well as VMware player can see the .vmx file. I've done it before so I don't see any problems so far.

    What I would like to know before proceeding with this combo is that VMware Player 2.5.2 will be able to run the client 64-bit Linux with no problems? Release notes say I should be able to run 32-bit and 64-bit comments about it. However; I noticed in Vista, the Task Manager when I run VMware player, he began as a 32 bit application. If I allocate for example 6 GB of RAM to the guest Linux OS, the player will be able to allocate this memory for the guest operating system, although the player himself is running in 32-bit mode.

    You need support of Intel-VT on your laptop to run 64-bit guests. That of all, do not pay attention to player status.

    OS: Win 7 Pro 64 bit - 16 GB RAM

    VMware Player 6.0.3 free VMs are compatible with 7.0 free VM?

    If I want to install 7 free - I need to uninstall 6.0.3? It can exist as well in the PC?

    In both cases, virtual machines work in 6.0.3 7?

    To install Win 10 Preview - need Player 7? even with the free version can do that?

    The emulators in winning 10 preview as WP10/WP8.1 should run OK inside the virtual machine, if I have the VT-x/SLAT & processor 4-Core i5...?

    Yes, all of this information is the file vmx - a small text file that contains all the settings and parameters and definitions of the virtual machine.

  • VMWare Player + Ubuntu 14.04 memory leak

    Hello.

    I have a newly built host Ubuntu LTS 14.04.  I installed VMWare player 6.0.3 build-1895310 64-bit.   The host has a processor i5 and 16 GB of RAM.  I have a Windows 7 VM Pro with 4 GB of RAM allocated to it.  This virtual machine is running video management software which is write about 2 MB/s on the virtual disk.  When I start the VM I see it consume about 4 GB of RAM as expected, but then I notice that Linux (via top) slowly eats away at the remaining RAM.  An hour later and I'm almost out of wired RAM.

    Any ideas?

    After a call with the Global Support VMWare, only it turns out it was my mistake.  It is / was without leaking memory.  For some reason, the kernel has cached of massive amounts of RAM, probably as a result of the use of the heavy drive.  The value 14946256 of my previous post is where the RAM was going.

  • VMware Player 6 crashes (fault VMM 14)

    Hello

    I'm under 64-bit Scientific Linux 6.5 comments (a derivative of RHEL 6.5 and binary compatibility) on a 64-bit Windows 7 host. Everything works fine with 1 virtual processor, but if I turn 2 or 4 the VM crashes usually (during startup, but), or applications in the virtual machine crash. (CPU host is a Core i5-2410 M, 2 physical cores, 4 cores with HyperThreading).

    I usually get one of the following error messages:

    The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine.

    Fatal error of VMware player: (vcpu-2)

    vCPU-2: fault VMM 14: src = rip MONITOR = 0xfffffffffc26bf94 regs = 0xfffffffffc008b70

    I have attached the referenced paper.

    No idea what is the problem?

    Kind regards

    UPDATE: I checked the same VM with 64-bit Ubuntu 13.10 host, and I could not reproduce the problem.

  • VMWare Player 5.0.2 does not start with Bluetooth keyboard connected

    Hello

    I use VMware Player 5.0.2 on a host Windows 8.

    If I have a Bluetooth keyboard connected to the host, no virtual machine will start. I get the same error every time:

    "cannot find a valid peers to connect to.

    But if I take the keyboard away, then Bluetooth starts just fine.

    Guest operating systems are Vista and Windows 2003. They are all the same in this regard - the same error.

    The error occurs really fast - to the extent that the log files are not updated.

    Latest version of VMware tools is on the guest.

    Any help appreciated gratefully. I can't use the machines without a keyboard, and it's on my tablet computer that I need to be portable. Please note that the issue here is with the keyboard, if there is no Bluetooth keyboard machines act as they should.

    TIA, Pete

    This problem is now resolved.

    My initial assessment was wrong. The problem was to be able to. If I was running the computer on battery, all clients VMware crashed with various strange errors at startup. If the host is plugged into the power outlet, everything works as it should.

    Obviously, on battery, my computer shuts down some capabilities of the processor. Only at full power is everything what it.

  • Installation of snow leopard in VMWare Player

I'm eager to try to install snow leopard on my virtual environment machine Iona. Up to now he tells me that I'm unable to install a 64-bit operating system. I have WO Windows 7 works beautifully and is a 32-bit operating system. The main operating system is windows 8 and it's 64-bit.

    VMware does not support the operation of Mac OS X in VMware Player/workstation!  Also, legally virtualisables versions of OS X running in a Virtual Machine cannot be done when done in the Apple brand hardware but when done while running under OS X and for that you have VMware Fusion not VMware Player/workstation (or use ESX/ESXi on Apple brand hardware) you violate Apple's SLA for this product.  So any help can you provided for OS X in this use of the scenarios that it would violate the community VMware operating conditions to do.

    The solution that I found when I tried to reinstall Vmware on Windows 7 operating system was to

    1.) erase all files from the disk Local Windows (c) / x 86/Vmware programs

    2.) erase all disk Local Windows (c) VMware files / Windows/System 32 / Config and drive Local (c) / Windows / System 32/drivers

    (3.) to remove all the temporary files on your computer.

    (4.) after download the Free Windows Registry Repair. Link for this program is below.

    {---> http://download.cnet.com/Free-Window-Registry-Repair/3000-2086_4-10606555.html<-------->

    (5.) once the program is installed run the registry repair.

    6.) when you see the list of registry, errors, go to one of the lines and right-click on it.

    (7.) to go to the registry editor.

    8.) from there, you'll have to watch although each file and see the description of the file to see if it belongs to the company of Vmware. (These files will have an indicator, for example, VMbooter and so - forth.) Make sure you get VM in the name of the file).

    9.) after that you have all the files that have been deleted from your hard drive, run a Disk Defrag and clean disk just for the performance of your.

    (10.) you want to go to VMware web site to download the version of vmware you previously as 3.0.1 4.0.1 and so on. This will be the MSI file you need that is corrupted

    * While the program is reinstall, you will notice the prompt will ask you if you want to uninstall your current version of VMware. You'll notice that's nothing in the description. (Do the cleared off the coast of files and a core hidden in the program) *.

    11.) as soon as the old MSI download file. Install the newest MSI file (currently VMware Player 5.0.1) and you should see no complications so every step meticulously were complete.

  • VMware Player 5 can not install on Win XP feedback tools

    I have VMware player 5.0.0 build-812388 running on Ubuntu 11.10 (core 3.0.0 - 26-generic). I use it to run a Windows XP Professional SP3 client.

    I used to have the VMware tools installed on this prompt, but after a recent update (I don't know which), I noticed that I was getting warning dialog boxes on my graphical configuration. I uninstalled VMware tools (via Add/Remove Programs) and reinstalled (via the player's Virtual Machine > install VMware Tools...), but it does not appear to be installed. There is no VMware Tools applet in the control panel and no icon in the status bar. I have tried different combinations of uninstall, reboot, reinstall, repair, etc., but he is still missing.

    How can I properly install VMware Tools in the virtual machine again?

    VMware has removed the applet of the control panel and system Notification in VMware Player 5 and VMware Workstation 9 icon so that you see is normal and expected.  Some features of VMware Tools are available in the configurations of the Virtual Machine on the host side.

    How can I properly install VMware Tools in the virtual machine again?

    If you have already uninstalled/reinstalled you don't need to do anything.  If you can drag and drop files between the computers in office then VMware Tools are installed and working.  Also if the unit and the VMware shared folders work (for supported operating systems) once again here are the signs that VMware Tools are installed and working.

  • Host 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 yourself running comments Windows 7 Pro 64 bit in vmware Player 4

    Hi all

    I have a new installation of Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit on my old Dell Optiplex GX-620 machine.
    I installed vmware player 4.0.2 on who.
    I would like to create a virtual machine for few comments Windows 7 Professional 64.

    Is the above a possible scenario? VMware player wonder what OS I'm going in the virtual machine and seems to only present 32 bits in the drop-down list of choices.  Maybe I can ignore that and go ahead and install the Win 7 64bits instead?

    Thanks for your help.

    I fear that you will not be able to run all guests 64-bit with the CPU you use. As far as I know, none of the Pentium 4 processors support Intel VT - x.

  • ESXi in vmware Player?

    Hello

    I am trying to build a lab inside my workstation.  The configuration is:

    (physical host) Core i5 x 64/w VT active
    -(os) Win 7 Professional x 64
    -(hypervisor) VMWare Player (client, defined as "Other OS 64-bit"

    -(os/hypervisor) VMWare ESXi 5.0.0

    -(os) Win 2 K 8 R2

    The Win 2 K 8 R2 will not start. The message pointed out, is that the CPU does not support 64-bit execution.

    My understanding is that the above doesn't work... Is there any restriction that I can't run a 64-bit client OS inside a host of VM ESXi 64-bit? compared to a physical host of ESXi 64bits?

    OK - you can't do double nested 64 bit VMs. (unless you run ESXi5 on ESXi5 on the bare metal).

  • Win 7 32 bit unbootable in VMware Player

    I've been running Win 7 32 bit as guest on VMware Player 3.1.3 OS and have not had any problems. The host operating system is Win 7 64 bit.

    Last night, I ran the player and guest what OS would freeze to the Win Startup screen. All 4 cores in my CPU was pegged at 100% and no further progress. I have reset using the menu player Power & it froze a new start-up. I then powered through the player's menu. When I got to the top, Win prompted me to do a startup repair. II brewed for a long time, and found nothing.

    I reinstalled the guest operating system and was able to start Windows 7. I installed all the updates successfully, including SP1. The next time that I restarted, I had exactly the same problem - the guest operating system wouldn't boot.

    I have now done a repair/installation of VMware player & still having the same problem!

    Anyone has a suggestion as to what to try next? I'm puzzled. It works great once.

    From what I've read so far, it's SP1 that causes problems in the virtual machine. I would recommend not to install SP1 until there is a workaround available solution or VMware is launching a version that supports SP1 supported.

    PS: Just saw Re: VMware Workstation 7.1.3 and Windows 7 SP1 maybe it helps.

  • Why VMware Player is not using AMD - V?

    I have the latest version of VMware Player (3.1.2 build-301548) and an AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual-Core Windsor (AMD - V compatible and active) and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit but VMware repeat myself that "this host does not support all hardware virtualization".

    Someone knows why?

    Thank you very much.

    Aedan says:

    So, my CPU is defective?

    Essentially.  There are some situations in which the first generation of AMD - V hardware is insufficient to completely accurate virtualization.

    It of bad, but can't I "force" VMware to use AMD - V still?

    You can not force VMware to use AMD - V.  Support for AMD - V on these chips fell.  You can use VMware Player 2.0, if you want to support AMD - V for your CPU, but I don't know why you would want it.  Without material assistance to MMU virtualization, AMD - V does not generally offer benefits of performance over binary translation.  See article ASPLOS for some comparisons.
