• 6u2 ESXi host nested on VMware Workstation for Linux referee v12

  Hello all, I have

  I have a lab environment virtual running in VMware Workstation for Linux v12, and my ESXi hosts do not work correctly on one of the virtual networks. All my troubleshooting suggests a problem with nested ESXi hosts that may be a bug, but I want to assure you that I did everything properly first. That's why I post here with the hope that if I made a mistake that maybe someone else can point out he me.

  Physical system

  8 core Intel Xeon 2.1 GHz CPU

  128 GB of RAM

  OS - kernel Linux 64 - bit w/3.19.0-32-generic Linux Mint 17.3 (fully updated from this announcement)

  VMware Workstation 12 Pro - 12.1.1. Build-3770994 (fully updated from this announcement)

  Nested ESXi host VM

  ESXi v6.0.0 (Build 3825889, completely updated from this announcement)

  4 cards 'physical' (only 3 used for now)

  -all use the e1000 NIC hardware virtual, but also tried vmxnet3 NIC with no difference

  -vSwitch0 use vmnic0 & 1 vmnet16 of virtual network in a pair of active / standby

  -vSwitch1 uses vmnic2 on network virtual vmnet18

  -vmk0 used for management on vSwitch0 and vmk1 for iSCSI on vSwitch1

  -"Promiscuous" mode and forged passes enabled on all Port vSwitch groups (activating or turning off these features makes no difference)

  Test performed until now

  I checked that all the IP addresses and network masks used are correct.

  With the help of vmkping I ping other nodes on the network vmnet16 with success.

  With the help of vmkping I tried to ping the other nodes in the network vmnet18, but that has failed.

  I have depolyed other non - ESXi VMs on the vmnet18 network, and they are able to ping each other, but are unable to ping or ping by the ESXI host.

  I tried various material virtual NIC as mentioned before, but without changes in the results.

  I tried to use only local network instead of the vmnet18 guest network segments with no change in results.

  When I find out the status of the network adapters on the ESXi host through vCenter or host incorporated client vmnic0 & 1 time display network information, but vmnic2 shows no networks. Yet, I know that there is a network with different VM communicate on it. Moreover, I was able to get all of this work on a Windows system running 10 Workstation (this is the laptop that my employer gives me with).

  Having built nested ESXi labs on different platforms as well as physical environments in the past, I'm very confused as to why I can't get this special configuration to work. At this point my gut tells me that this is probably a bug any with the nested themselves ESXi hosts. Since I can get all this work on vmnet16 including the management of ESXi hosts and the VCSA that I use, I am sure that my vSwitch configuration is correct (other than the IP address space and vmnic configurations is bascially the same). Because I can get other virtual machines to communicate over the network vmnet18 I don't see how can be a VMware Workstation for the issue physical Linux host. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? I read on the ESXi hosts nested under VMware Workstation after having known problems and bugs with networking. If anyone else has experienced this?

  Thanks for any help others can provide!

  Kind regards

  Well, the problem is now resolved. The problem was what covelli was trying to explain, but I couldn't because the physical host network adapters being mentioned.

  The problem on the Linux host, but it was a problem of permissions with the virtual Ethernet adapters. The following article has the fix:
  With the help of Ethernet virtual cards in Promiscuous Mode on a Linux host (287) | VMware KB

  Even if I launched the workstation under the root user I have yet met this problem and which still makes no sense to me, but change the permissions solve the problem. I was not getting an error message on my Linux Mint and Ubuntu system, but when I tried on a second box of Linux Mint that I just got the error has been generated, and the error message was the above link it contains.

  So, here's what I learned:

  (1) the question has nothing to with a VMware Workstation definition that you can configure.

  (2) the question has nothing to do with a physical network card.
  (3) the question has nothing to do with any vmnic on the nested ESXi host.

  (4) apparently virtual Ethernet adapters are not the correct permissions when created.

  All you have to do to fix this is:

  (1) open a terminal.

  (2) run the command ' sudo chmod a + rw/dev/vmnet * "(don't forget to run this each time that you create a new virtual network).

  You can also create a group, as shown in the link above and simply give this group the correct permissions. Personally, I think it's easier to just give everyone the rw permission.

  I appreciate the help that others have offered. I did not understand what was asked for in previous answers because of the terms that have been used.

• VMware Workstation 12 Pro - mouse stops working

  I have VMware Workstation Pro 12.  I used it for weeks without problem.  Suddenly the mouse will stop working on a virtual computer.  This happens while the guest is initialized and running.  I click on another window and click back, and the mouse does not work in the comments.  This happens in all guests, regardless of the operating system.  The only way to solve this problem is to restart the host.  Then I can use the guests still once for 15-20 minutes until the problem reoccur.

  This problem has been resolved.  Once I realized that the problem was related to all audio, I was able to narrow the search down to VMware Workstation, audio, and the click of the mouse.

  This is another article here that describes the problem.

• Mouse USB and keyboard problems in VMWare Workstation / Ubuntu 8.10

  I am running VMWare Workstation for Linux version 6.5.0 build 118166

  My host is Ubuntu 8.10 / 2.6.27 - 7-generic and I am hosting another instance of the same operating system on the same machine.

  The problem I see is that the keyboard and mouse misbehave / erratic from the host machine. It is a multimedia keyboard 1.1 Microsoft wireless

  There are essentially two problems:

  (1) dedicated cursor keys / pageup / to / home / delete do not work properly. For example, PageUp wants to take a screenshot.

  (2) the mouse seems slow to recognize clicks / trolling. For example, if I click on a tab in Firefox and move immediately, the tab starts to drag. Even if I click on an image and then move the mouse - drag is initiated.

  I tried several combinations of keyboard layout in the case of Ubuntu comments does not. No problems of this nature in the host, or an instance of XP comments.

  Any suggestions?

• Issue of license VMware Workstation and VMplayer

  Hi all:

  
  

  Can anyone help to answer this question.  Thank you in advance.

  
  

  I have a valid license of VMware Workstation 9, can VMware Workstation and the VMplayer separately install on two computers and use them in business environment?

  The VMware Player delivered in the Installation of VMware Workstation is not separable from the installation of VMware Workstation or VMware Workstation license.  If you want to run VMware Player by itself then you must download the VMware Player installer, which installs only VMware Player not VMware Workstation.  You cannot cut files VMware Workstation installed between two systems.  So if you want to use it commercially you must buy a license of VMware Fusion!

  I hope that now this is clear enough for you to grab!

• Virtualbox to Vmware Workstation migration issues

  Hello

  I have a windows 7 on virtualbox 4.08 which I want to run in Vmware workstation instead.   Since Virtualbox use vdi instead of the vmdk format, I have converted vmdk disk image.

  Although vmware workstation boots the converted image that the blue screen of death appears and the initialization of the process repeat foreover.  I tried to stop the boot process, but I could not (there is no way (time or other) press F2!).

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much

  Ed

  One last thing - I couldn't press F2 for bios on Vmware Workstation Setup.  Is there something I should know?

  You must first click inside the Virtual Machine window so that it receives the key however also take a look at the following.

  You can also add the following parameters to the .vmx config file.

  To give more time to indulge, the Start Menu Add following (the value is in milliseconds)...

  bios.bootDelay = "3000"
  

  For, once, force the VM in the BIOS to change the Boot order in the BIOS if the CD-ROM is first add the following...

  bios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE"
  

  Also take a look at #4: VMware Workstation (menu bar) > help > Help topics > Workstation help > getting started with Virtual Machines > start a Virtual Machine > start a VM from Workstation User Interface

  Hi, I faced the same problem, and now I have corrected this issue.

  He was vmnet.ko, at least for me.

  Here's how to solve,

  You can find the latest vmnet.ko of /lib/modules/~previous_kernel_version~/misc/vmnet.ko

  Copy vmnet.ko into your current/lib/modules/your_current_version/misc folder.

  And then run vmware, if you fail at the first, please run again.

  If so, you can run vmwre!

  I hope this will help you.

  Good day.

• 15 Ubuntu won't start in VMware workstation 12 after a recent update of Ubuntu

  I'm quite new to the environment virtual system and linux. Someone could me help on my question below?

  I have a virtual system installed using VMware workstation 12. It works fine, until the upgrade of Ubuntu this morning.

  I have no idea what the update installed.

  After the required reboot, Windows VMware has always stop a black page.

  Before everything, there were some posts that I think they should be useful to target the issue here.

  

  He said:

  SMbus host controller not activated!

  No valid rapl area found within the package 0

  Thank you very much for your help!

  -Ninggang

  I found a solution!

  There is problem of ubuntu, new kernel is bad and it's a bug.

  To start again just hold SHIFT while your machine virtual machine to the menu shows ubuntu boot.

  Select Advanced, then choose more old kernel version and that's all.

  After you restart your virtual machine it always start on black screen, you need to delete newes kernel version linux-headers - 4.2.0 - 30 to begin on the old version and problem SOLVED!

  remove the kernel:

  sudo apt-get remove linux-image-4.2.0-30-generic
sudo update-grub2

  reboot.

• How to configure the network adapter when you run ESXi on VmWare workstation?

  How to configure the network card installing ESXi on VmWare workstation 6.0.0?

  These are the options: I tried bridged, host-only NAP.  None of them works

  

  What Miss me? driver or adapater?

  I'm running on vmware workstation on Windows 7 with Lenovo laptop.

  in the configuration of your virtual machine, the main issue is memory. you gave the 2 GB of RAM, whereas ESXi 6 cannot go forward without minimum 4 GB of RAM.

  If please have 4 GB of RAM and re-run Setup. you will get through.

  message about the network card should also not appear after that. What kind of network you choose depends on your need.

• VMware Workstation 10 - not enough physical memory...

  So, I'm aware of the Windows KB2995388 8.1 update that causes this problem:

  Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings. To solve this problem, decrease the size of the memory of this virtual machine at 460 MB, increase the amount of physical memory for all the virtual machines to 3296 MB or adjust the parameters of extra memory to enable more virtual memory machine to swap. It is possible that native and/or services applications have locked memory which could help launch the virtual machine. Close unnecessary applications or services can free up enough memory to start this virtual machine. If you were able to on this Windows virtual machine on that host computer in the past, try restarting the host computer. Reboot may allow you to use a little more memory host to run virtual machines.

  but after upgrading my OS today I have the same symptoms and can't find installed KB2995388.

  I tried running VMware Workstation as an administrator with no luck either.

  Y at - it no alternative workaround, or is there an another Windows update that can cause this problem?

  Thanks for any help and advice.

  Yes, other updates can cause the same issue, because the change that was made in KB2995388 was incorporated in to many other more recent updates as well.

  What version of Workstation do you run?  If you run Workstation 10.0.4 or newer on Windows 8.1, this should no longer be a problem.

• Installation of VMWare Workstation 11 freezes with gray screen!

  Hello

  I know this is a very known issue, but difficult to solve, I can't install VMWare Workstation V11 (tried with the old version 8, the same) since as soon as I click Setup, I have a gray screen and installation seems suspended it.

  Tried the same thing with VMWare Player, same result, even with older versions...

  No way to close the gray screen, unless you kill the process.

  My case is laptop Thinkpad T510, native W7 64-bit, processor Intel i5, 4 GB ram, Java utility installed and 100% updated, Nvidia GPU, nothing strange.

  Microsoft Security essential only running, no other AV or firewall...

  I tried to save two files reading autour on this community, but this does not solve the problem.

  I see not what is a well known problem and it is absurd does not have a way to solve it on VMWare...

  Any help is very appreciated!

  Thank you very much

• VMWare Workstation shared 11 VM reports 0.00 CPU and RAM usage

  I use Windows Professional 8.1.  Since I upgraded from VMWare Workstation 10 to 11, the split of the VM screen reported 0.00 CPU and RAM use.  At the time, I took the following screenshot, I got four virtual machines running.  Anyone who has to run in this issue:

  

  Thank you for reporting the issue. We had an internal bug tracking.

• Freezing of construction-2496824 VMWare Workstation 11.1.0

  Hello

  I have a Windows 7 x 64 using Workstation 11.1.0 host (assessment of the trial).  I have a Windows 8.1 Pro x 64 running virtual machine.  It is the only virtual machine running.  A few minutes after starting the virtual machine, the virtual machine and the Workstation locks.

  I do Ctrl + Alt + Delete and open the host Task Manager.  VMware.exe is always 25% of the CPU (I have a Core i7-4600U, so there are 4 cores with hypertheads).  VMware - vmx.exe CPU usuage varies.  My only option is to kill the process vmware.exe.  Then, the host runs normally.  To run the windows 8.1 host once again, I have to restart the computer, as it says the prompt is used.

  When the computer restarts normally that's fine.  But this time he started running slow after a minute.  I opened the windows Task Manager.  Once it is open (after 10 minutes) I found that the CPU utilization was only 1% or more.  After 10 or 15 minutes of looking around, I started to kill the VMware processes.  After that I took some to the host ran normally.  It's working normally now.

  The issue of freezing happened 4 or 5 times in two or three days.  When I kill computer vmware.exe always goes back to normal.

  I did a few things like proactive:

  (1) add folder VM to the exclusion list antivirus, windows search, exclusion of our backup software list exclusion list.

  (2) remove the floppy and CD drive from the list of virtual machine hardware.  I read that could cause a hang upwards.

  The event log does not contain something interesting.   I have attached all newspapers of vmware, I have for the machine virtual windows 8.1.

  Any suggestions on what I can do next to try to solve this further?

  The host is not lock it just the vmware workstation app.  I wanted to clarify that.

  Other than the VM Pro 8.1 Windows only other VM I have is Windows XP Mode.  I started the XP Mode VM and it has always worked very well after having worked in the virtual machine for an hour.  I then restarted the VM of Windows 8.1 and three minutes later, he locked and workstation.  I see two vmware - vmx.exe treated one to 25% CPU usage in Task Manager (I presume VM Windows 8.1) and the other with barley any use of CPU (likey XP Mode).  Vmware.exe also has 25% CPU usage as before.

  I'm in the resource monitor and to suspend the process vmware - vmx.exe which uses 25% cpu and now a workstation and the XP Mode VM work properly.  I then clicked on 'stop' the machine virtual windows 8.1 and has resumed the vmx process.  VM stop the 8.1 Windows workstation with success.  Workstation and the XP Mode VM still work normally.

  So certainly issue between the workstation and the machine virtual windows 8.1 but I am not a guru vm or work station, so I can't determine what is the question.

  Edit

  Repeat the question.  Is a wait analyze on vmware.exe chain in resource monitored and must wait on himself: "one or more threads to vmware.exe wait to finish i/o network." and "vmware.exe PID XXXX 6208" Thread.  So some kind of blocking of the thread?  When I suspend the vmware - vmx.exe running to my VM of Windows 8.1 then the vmware.exe CPU usage goes to 0%. But the wait vmware.exe watch chain still he waits on itself with the same message as above.  I then return to the vmware-vmx process and the CPU goes up to 25%.

  I can fix things without killing the process vmware or vmx suspend windows 8.1 vmx process, use windows 7 taskbar live preview for click shutdown (square button) and then resume the vmx process.  At that point the 8.1 windows vm shutsdown immediately and the workstation (with the xp mode vm) is operating normally.

  He has worked to find a few days but starting to give me this problem.

  Edit2

  OK problem solved I think.  Our IT technician installed Malwarebytes Anti-malware over another anti-virus/anti-malware program.   Which was causing the computer to 'lock' (run slow but cpu was near 0% so desire ' cpu loading) during start, sounds a different problem than what I saw, but it may affect both workstation.  Also my VMs used NAT so I tried to switch to bridged and disabled the NAT and DHCP service.  Featured two fewer services to run.  Don't know which of those (if any) was causing the problem, but after those changes it works (for the most part very well).

• VMware workstation 11 and Windows 10 build 9926 auto resizing does not

  Host: Windows 8.1 Pro x 64

  VMware: Workstation 11

  Client: Windows 10 Build 9926

  Problem I have is in the guest operating system (win 10).  I can not auto resize the guest to fit the window (now Vmware worksation, opinion, comments made.  It flashes on the full screen, then goes back to the resolution that it is.  I'm stuck at the Windows gives me resolutions.

  I know that this version comes out today.  But I thought I'd give you guys a heads up.

  THX.

  Build 10074 works!

  So, I did a clean install of the new generation (10074).  Workstation makes easy installation on it.  During the easy setup process, it didn't install VMWare tools, but I see the tools have been installed.  I tried to re-size that the screen with 3D powered acceleration; and it worked!

  This issue is finally resolved. !
