• Move a VM from VMWare Workstation 7 to VMWare Server 2

  Hi all:

  I had to create a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 7 manually prepare and now I need to move it to VMWare Server 2, which is used to run automated tests. It is our usual working process.

  I would like to know if there is a problem with it, because the process of setting up the machine took several hours, install programs, and to configure, you know.

  Should I edit the .vmx file? I copied the machine using scp, since the destination that VMware Server is installed on a remote computer; I can access which the machine in ssh and web.

  Thanks in advance for your attention and your time and best regards,

  Luis

  If the virtual machine was powered (non-suspended) offshore before moving them to the destination, you should be able to turn on without problems. Both VMware Workstation 7.x and VMware Server 2.x can use hardware virtual version 7 (http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003746), which is probably the most important thing.

  If you don't know, create a snapshot before you turn on the virtual machine to the remote site, in this way that the virtual disks have changed.

  If the copied virtual machine snapshots, you will not be able to come back to them on the new hardware if they were taken while the virtual machine is running.

• How to change VMware Server 2 in VMware Workstation?

  People,

  Hello. I installed VMware Server 2.0.2 in Windows 7 host. Then, I created a virtual machine and install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system. I installed some application programs in the Windows Server 2003 operating system, and has done a lot of work into them. Everything works successfully for some time.

  Because VMware Server 2 does not support Windows 7 as host operating system. Strange thing can happen anytime. While I work in Guest OS Win2K3, the connection is suddenly lost. VMware Server 2 home page can not be displayed anymore. The virtual machine and the Win2K3 comments is no longer accessible.

  I have to install VMware Workstation that supports Windows 7 as host operating system and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system. So, I have 2 questions:

  First of all, if I uninstall VMware Server 2 on Windows 7, does it affect the virtual machine that supports the Windows Server 2003 OS?  Everything, including the OS Winn2K3 and its application programs, will be lost?

  Second, if I install VMware Workstation in Windows 7, can the Guest OS Windows Server 2003 be transferred from VMware Server 2 VMware Workstation?

  People can help answer these 2 questions?

  If uninstall VMware Server 2 on Windows 7 and its Guest OS Win2K3 will be lost, I'll lose a lot of time and work!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can uninstall vmware server without any problems and you will not lose your vm.

  Anyway just for more security you can make a backup of the virtual machine before you uninstall vmware server 2. Just backup files of the virtual machine. Then you can uninstall the server and install workstation

  After the workstation installation, you would be able to run the virtual machine in workstation, simply add the virtual machine to the workstation inventory, pointing to the .vmx files for the virtual machine.

  In any case if you can not run the virtual machine, you can use vmware converter to perform the conversion between server and workstation. It is a good tool and it does not hurt to learn how to use it

  Hope this helps you.

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• Installation of VMware workstation in a machine with vmware server 2.0 is already installed?

  is it possible to install the latest version of vmware workstation (I guess that's 6.5) in a machine where vmware server 2.0 is already installed? where possible there at - it something I should know before installing vmware workstation (eg. problems known, network suspends etc.)? in particual I am a little concerned network mangement (eg. both vmware server and vmware workstation in fact add virtaul adapters: is a possible trouble caouse?). The host of the virtual machine is vista ultimate x 64 with 8gig of ram and a quad core cpu.

  I did a little research, and from what I understand, this was not possible with vmware server 1.0 x.. as the situation has changed with vmware server 2.0?

  (in case you are wondering why I sholud be willing to do):

  I worked with vm ware Server 2.0 for about a year, but now I miss some of the features that are only present in vmware workstation: multiple snapshot and clone VM vm ware server... However is much more flexible when you don't have physical access to your VM host... so I was wondering if it is possible to get the best of both worlds : I would like to use vm ware workstation allows you to configure virtual machines and manage snapshots and vmware server to remotely manage virtual machines, I've created with workstation. Is it not possible?

  Thanks in advance for your attention

• VMWare Server-> workstation

  I am running VMWare Server 1.08 build - 126538 on the edition of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x 64 Edition

  Also, the guest operating system is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (but not 64-bit)

  I'm trying to move this server to a local computer that is running VMWare Workstation 6.5 so that I can return more power calculation

  Workstation machine is Ubuntu Hardy 2.6.24 - 23-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux

  When I run the virtual machine in the workstation, I receive a "pxe - e53 received no boot file name.

  My guess is that it is something simple that I need to put the .vmx file (and hopefully won't corrupt not a binary copy across). In the attached paper, the path starts correctly (on the workstation computer):

  08:34:21.806 Apr 13: vmx | DICT = /home/jchoot/vmware/SDSJohn/SDSJohn.vmx pref.ws.openedObj1.file

  However, not in any setting that I can find, it appears to also load (which is the original on the server path)

  08:34:21.806 Apr 13: vmx | Pref.console.openedObj0.file DICT = V:\SDSJohn\SDSJohn.vmx

  Anyone clearly indicates what's not here?

• Is there any update for VMware Tools for Workstation 8.0.3?

  I've never installed a new version of VMware Workstation without the need to upgrade VMware tools in each of my virtual machines.  After the upgrade to Workstation 8.0.3 there was no prompt to update VMware Tools and he says that it is up-to-date.  Was there no new version of VMware Tools with this upgrade, or am I missing something simple just?

  Thank you

  ~ J

  What I see on VMware Server, VMware Tools 8.8.2 are used in both VMware Workstation 8.0.2 and 8.0.3.  So, looks like two issues CVE VMware Workstation 8.0.3 addresses has been fixed in the base files not tools packages.

• Cannot save the virtual machine in VMWare Server 2

  Hi all:

  I created a VM (12.1 OpenSuSE 32bits) in VMWare Workstation 7; then I copied it to a host VMWare Server 2.

  When I try to save the virtual machine via the web, the server fails (or at least interrupts the response from Web page), so I tried to save it via command line.

  After searching a bit I found this:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1006160

  The question is now that I can't find any vmware-cmd anywhere, and when I run vmware-vim-cmd I get the following error:

  vmh2: / data/vmachines/postgresql-box # vim - vmware - cmd solo/registervm /data/vmines/postgresql-box/postgresql-box.vmx
  Connection failed: vim.fault.NoPermission

  So I'm stuck... someone can help me?

  BTW: what is ESX, ESXi and what version of ESXi is included in VMWare Server 2?

  Thank you very much

  Luis

  I can't tell you exactly what are the causes of the problem. What I would try (a solution) is to create a new virtual machine in VMware Server with the same specifications as the original one, then copy the two files hard in the new virtual machine folder and edit the .vmx file for the new VM 'OpenSuSE - 12.1 - cl1 - 000001.vmdk' use as its virtual drive.

• Installing the server on VMware server ESXi

  Hello

  Im trying to install esxi iso file in a VMware Server (in my laptop with 4 GB and windows 7 prof). I have created a virtual machine and tried to proceed with the installation. Initial measures follows and ends with Esc - repair-installation of the screen. In this screen im not control keystrokes at the keyboard and mouse n and cannot go any further. I found in the net that this method will work for purposes of practice. Can someone help me. ?

  Hello Pjo

  For your question, I understand what you are trying to install ESXi on your laptop to test / learning object. I also suppose that you try ESXi 4. ESXi 4 requires 64-bit processor. Your laptop should also support virtualization. To make sure that your laptop supports virtualization, go to configuration and find what is called VT and then activate it if it is not yet enabled.

  Once you have completed step abvoe, download & install the latest version of VMWare Workstation. Then create a new virtual machine, assign them to less than 2 GB of RAM, and then try again to install ESXi 4.

  I believe that this will help you to start with. If you have any other questions feel free to write back to me. And if you think that this answer is correct, please mark correct. If in case it is not correct, but has been useful so mark has useful

  Thank you very much

• Impossible to use VMWare Server and Virtual PC at the same time?

  I have a Win 7 box I use VirtualPC (unfortunately, VPN to the employer only supports the 32-bit Win XP).

  If I try to start any virtual machines using VMWare Server, power on and then immediately off.  Tried several different VMs.

  However, if I disable VirtualPC, they all work normally.

  Then... there at - it a known issue with the help of Virtual PC and VMWare Server at the same time?

  BTW, I didn't see this problem when you use Virtual PC and VMWare Player at the same time.

  VirtualPC leaves the CPU of the exploitation of VMX root, which is a restricted mode.  VMware Server is problems to switch between legacy mode and long (this switch is prohibited when the CPU is in VMX root operation).  The current versions of the workstation and the player are able to circumvent this restriction.

• VMware server 2.0.2 detects only a single host CPU on box double hearts

  We have a double base quard box with two of the following:

  It's a total of 4 cores, 8 threads per CPU. We have a total of 16 available in vmware server core, but it's what we see:

  • 1 CPU x 8 cores

  Is this a configuration on my end, a licensing problem or a problem with vmware?

  Hello

  I recommend you take a look at the latest versions of vmware player, workstation and the free esxi in my humble OPINION. It will support your CPU without any problem.

  Maybe one that fits your needs
