VMware player misunderstood technology?

Hello!

Please tell me who is misunderstood the topic of virtualization - me or VMware?

I mean it seems that assistance to the players on the server is too complicated. A lot of server software and stuff to maintain.

And the fact (from my understanding) that only the windows can be virtualized?

So if I have a small business and want to have my employees to work on the virtual desktops for 'all' hosts 4 OS (Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac OS x) and will require a redirection of USB for the MacOSX (for iPhone/iPad development) I'm out in the cold (with player) then?

Are there any alternatives or is desktop virtualization, in reality, impossible?

Best regards

Suggest that you try to read the product documentation as it should dissipate you misconceptions / misunderstandings!

VMware Player is a Type 2 hypervisor that is installed under Windows or Linux and sleeps like a variety guest operating systems, Windows, Linux and Solaris.  Mac OS X can only be installed on Apple brand hardware and is supported on VMware ESX/ESXi or VMware Fusion.  Install Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware - of brand violates Apple SLA for Mac OS X and is illegal and discussing or helping to do with VMware Player would violate VMware Community terms of use so it cannot be discussed in this use case.  If you want to install a supported Mac OS X OS on a Virtual Machine on the Apple brand hardware, using VMware Fusion or VMware ESX/ESXi then please ask questions for this use case on the forums appropriate for what supported VMware product, you choose to use.

    The VMware FAQ details the requirements for VMWare.

    http://www.VMware.com/products/player/FAQs.html

    The processor and RAM already exceed requirements, so it shouldn't have a negative effect on performance. VMWare Player will not affect on real hardware. This depends on the version of Linux used because it must be enough RAM for the host (Windows 7 64-bit) operating system and the guest OS (Linux). 4 GB of RAM should be plenty for the operating systems run, but you can find some RAM intensive programs may have reduced performance. For most programs, this shouldn't be a problem.

    Other virtualization technologies require virtualization is enabled in the BIOS. However, the FAQ does not mention this. If this does not work and you receive an error on activation, then enable it in the BIOS.

  • Guy Android coming to BB. Installation with VMWare player/Simulator/SDK issues

    I installed it,

    C/C++ QNX Momentics IDE...installer-bbndk-BB10_0_04-win32-186-201204250810-201204251322.exe
    BlackBerry10Simulator... BlackBerry10Simulator-Installer-BB10_0_04-195-Win-201204262359.exe
    VMWare... VMware-player-version 4.0.3 - 703057.exe

    I go to the early stages of QNX Momentics IDE and try opening an example (SDK)
    I get the Setup Deployment Wizard. I go to Device Setup and choose Simulator.
    What should I do now? The last step click the HELP (?) says he launched the Simulator, but I get a page with the title "Blackberry Simulator is not found and it's looking for a file VNX. I checked and tripled check the previous steps on the help icon.

    The Simulator is deadlocked C:\Documents and Settings\User1\My Documents\Virtual Machines\BlackBerry10Simulator-BB10_0_04. And I clearly see a BlackBerry10Simulator.vmx file in there
    but the SDK app doesn't see a single VMX file. The folder 'controllers' and other records.

    I tried the VMWare Player. It works very well.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Hey be based,

    The initial installation of the IDE and Simulator can be sometimes a bit daunting. Some of these steps you've done but im going anyway to list them:

    1. raise some Code by signing keys: keys

    2. download and install Momentics IDE and install

    3. download and install Blackberry Simulator

    4 download and install VMWare

    5 disable all firewall programs including windows firewall

    6. open VMWare-> choose open a Virtual Machine-> access your VNX file and open it

    7 if it opens really slow try changing options in VMWare 2 CPU and see if you can activate the "Virtualization technology" or "AMD Virtualization" in the BIOS

    8 the address of development of the Simulator (click the icon of the person with the toothed wheel on the menu bar of your alpha dev Simulator

    9. open the IDE, click window > Preferences on Windows and select BlackBerry and click BlackBerry Setup Wizard Deployment.

    10. follow the onscreen instructions to set up your target (Simulator or device) and add your chips of the device debugging.

    11 A this point your simulator could not auto discover so add your IP address you found earlier and if you haven't added a password in your simulator then let empty password.

    12. the rest of the wizard of BlackBerry deployment configuration should work just fine.

    13 open a sample application

    14. click on the file of the bar - descriptor.xml in the Project Explorer view, and then select "Set of symbolic debugging.

    15. right click on the project file, and then select Configurations to Build > Set Active > 4 Simulator-Debug

    16. right click on the project file, and then select generate the project.

    17. then right click on the project again and select run as > BlackBerry Application C/C++

    18. If all goes well, everything should work from there.

    Remember you need to do 14-17 for each project you want to run through the Simulator. And always turn on the virtual machine before you start the IDE I found that things always work better that way.

    I hope this helps!

  • CentOS 7 in VMWare Player 7 bug report

    Hello

    Don't know if this is the right place to post so please let me know if I'm in the wrong place, but I've been hit problems with VMWare Player 7 installation of CentOS and Ubuntu:

    I had several problems with anything CPU intensive while trying to set up a CentOS 7

    Workstation inside VMWare Player 7.  This is a new KDE workstation installation out of the box

    with maven installed via yum.  The system has been fully updated via # yum update.

    This problem happens every time I try to compile Apache spark 1.1.0 with maven.  However, it seemed

    be the case with other applications, including the GNOME desktop.  I tried the MATE as office

    Well and still have the problem.

    Environment:

    Host:

    VMWare Player 7.0.0 build-2305329

    Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit 6.1.7601, Service Pack 1

    4 core CPU AMD64

    16 GB OF RAM

    Comments:

    CentOS-7, 0-1406-x86_64 (installation of KDE)

    2 carrots

    ~ 11 GB of RAM (tried with different values)

    HARD DRIVE 60 GB

    A CPU intensive causes this deadlock.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1 install CentOS-7, 0-1406

    2 $ sudo yum install maven

    3 update of $ sudo yum

    4 Download spark 1.1.0 Apache sources of http://spark.apache.org/downloads.html and uncompress

    5 $ cd spark - 1.1.0

    $6 export MAVEN_OPTS = "" - Xmx2g - XX: MaxPermSize = 512 M - XX: ReservedCodeCacheSize = 512 m ""

    $7 mvn - Pyarn - Phadoop - 2.2 - Dhadoop.version = 2.2.0 - DskipTests clean package

    Finally, the machine hangs, and a hard reset is required.

    I don't know if it's a question of CentOS, a core issue or, more likely, a matter of VMWare Player.

    Greetings,

    Thank you for your message.

    First of all, I hope that you can get a touch of the player_distribution team.

    So far, I was unable to get in touch with that whatsoever on this matter.

    Be patient, I am confident that you will get a response.

    To be honest, I was not aware of the existence of the team of player_distribution and yours it the first reference I see: is it possible to get in touch with them? They have an e-mail address, a request for information page or something like?

    Again, if you have filled out the contact form, then I am confident will contact you. As for an e-mail address, I had a response to an email are [email protected] .

    I'm still waiting for a response to the message I sent from the reader page, weeks and weeks... Furthermore, if I can't get information about the procedure of distribution before you enter data into the form I would have to consider a different technology.

    Again, please be patient, I think you're going to get a contact. Also know that I share your frustration regarding the difficulty of using the drive with a project you want to deploy and/or share with others. I do not understand the agreement of long duration for a free download tool. And I believe that the proliferation of the player help only VMWare. I'm just a petition for a simpler model for people like me and maybe you.

    Concerning

    Mario

    I hope that people of VMWare will consider the dialogue on this issue and respond.

    Hi all

    I have a problem following needs your help.

    I have a Portege R-400 with 3 G build-in modem. It is installed Windows 7. All is well until I install the VMWare Player 3.0.

    Without modem 3G connection, each application still works fine. (I use WiFi most of the time.)

    When I'm not in measure use WiFi and connect with 3G, without starting VMWare Player, the system freezes within 5 to 20 minutes.

    The symptom is without any response to the keyboard and mouse, but can see HD light flashing.

    Then, I'll try Virtual PC from microsoft. He may have the same problem, too.

    It will be very appreciated if there is no solution for this problem.

    Thank you very much!

    Dear Mike is a rather complicated question. I mean Toshiba muss well deliver books and work with the factory settings, everything should work fine.
    If you use some third-party software of the part and if something goes wrong, it can be really complicated.

  • 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.

    before 3 years, I bought a win 7 pro PC - recently, I fee install 8.1... How to download and use my prior Win 7 Pro in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

    Unfortunately, you must have prepared a recovery disk in advance or use the one provided with your computer.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    However, with the new version, I am unable to install the Simulator in VMware Player. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, re-downloaded and re-installed, etc. and continue to have the following in the on-screen display in the last step of the installation of the virtual machine.

    In the earlier version, the display shows - loading of the neutrinos... and proceeded to complete the installation.

    In this version the display shows - loading installer... .and poster cd/EULA.txt in the bottom of the first screen scrolling text. I can scroll up and down and display a lot of text but nothing continues or finishes the installation of the virtual machine.

    I would like suggestions.

    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    It is (very) difficult.

    Do not press the "enter" or the arrow key down.

    You should stop to support anything at all times when only a few lines of text to the left.

    Then down one line at a time. Otherwise your entry extra will be interpreted as

    your answer to the question who is supposed to be 'y '.

    You will be successful after trying several times.

  • Install ACS 5.3 on VMware Player?

    I get an error when you install ACS on VMware Player (not VMware Workstation).  The error is "sda drive specified in the score command that does not exist."  I found this: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/201443 which says to use the LSI instead of BusLogic adapter.  The problem is, I don't have this option when creating a new HARD drive or when I go into the advanced settings after you create the new HARD drive.
