VMware Workstation 12 Pro Maximum number of standard error of virtual Macines

error.png

I get this error when I open many clones of virtual machine to WIn 2K12R2. now, I opened a new instance of workstation for

run a new VM clones. I don't have this problem in the Workstation 11.0.2

There is a limitation in Windows that will sometimes hit when an instance of VMware Workstation tries to manage a lot of virtual machines simultaneously.  If the workstation user interface knock this architectural limit (which can happen to about 28 VMs), the user interface will break.

Earlier versions of workstation had a check in place to prevent that from happening, but that the cheque has been omitted by mistake of recent versions, you to eventually open a little more VMs, but risk of accident.  12 workstation restores the audit.  In a future version of Workstation I hope will eventually be restructured to avoid the underlying limitation altogether, but we are not yet there.

This particular limitation is not related to the total number of virtual machines that are running on the computer host, so (as the message says) you should be able to simply open a second instance of VMware Workstation and run several virtual machines in this second case.  If I remember correctly, I think that we have a strict limit of 64 virtual machines running simultaneously on Windows hosts.

I hope this helps!

  • Snapshot fails on VMWare Workstation 11 Pro

    Hello

    I have created a virtual machine on VMWare Workstation 11 Pro with Windows Server 2008 R2 and baptized "HYP". When I'm trying to take a snapshot, I get the following message:

    VMware Workstation cannot find the virtual disk 'G:\YP.vmdk '. Check that the path is valid and try again.

    The system cannot find the specified file

    Cannot open disk 'G:\HYP-000001.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

    Necessary to the VM to suspend operation and the VM could not continue to run.

    After that I click OK in the message box that precedes, the virtual computer turns off and then I can turn it on again - I get the following message:

    File not found: YP.vmdk

    This file is required to power on this virtual machine. If this file has been moved, specify the new location.

    Note that I might be able to on and off this machine virtual without problem before I tried to take the snapshot.

    How is that possible I could have it fixed?

    Thank you very much!

    I found where it was. When I was creating this virtual machine, I indicated the location for the new virtual machine as any new drive G. After I had removed this virtual machine and created a new in 'G:\FolderName', the new virtual machine begins to create fine snapshots.

    It is important to specify the folder (not just a new drive letter) as the location for the new virtual machine.

  • The VMware Workstation Server service stopped with service specific error %-1.

    Hi, when I try to enable sharing in Workstation 8 GTR | Change | Preferences | Sharing virtual machines, I get an error Impossible to configure the workstation server. Check the event log, I found they were trying to start the VMware Workstation Server service that does not start (even when you try to start it manually) and the following error is recorded "the VMware Workstation Server service stopped with service specific error %-1." by the Service Control Manager. I found no additional cases related.

    I also tried to find a newspaper there instead of vmware, but neither found anything related; However I could have missed something.

    Thanks for all the ideas, what could be wrong and how to fix it.

    Hello

    I have Workstation 8.0.1 installed on two laptop computers each running Windows 7 SP1 x 64... the shared component of the virtual machine runs on one but not the other. On the machine that I have problems with I uninstalled Workstation and reinstalled - without success. What I ended up doing to replace the datastores.xml file in the Directory go (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\hostd) on the laptop with the problem with the file datastores.xml of the laptop that works - success! I knew that there was a problem with the file because I've been poking around and noticed that the datastores.xml file is not open for editing - it was corrupted.

    I have attached the file to this message.

    Change of the section at the location that you store your shared VM (be sure to not use a UNC, which breaks the service as well!).

    I hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Maximum number of partitions errors

    Impossible to assign the unallocated disk space.gives drive letter an error ' you cannot created new volume in this unallocated space because the disk already contains the maximum number of partitions. Please help, thank you. Lesley Fernandes

    You are allowed a maximum of four partitions. More than likely you have created four "Primary" partitions

    If you want to access this "Unallocated" space, you have two choices:

    (1) Expand/extend the last partition to include the unallocated space.

    (2) (delete the last partition "Primary" (save your data first) and create an 'Extended' partition, which can then be used to create one or more logical drives.

  • VMware workstation, crashes when I try to create a new virtual machine

    Hello

    I never had this problem before, but I didn't create a new virtual machine in a very long time. Last time I created one was making Workstation 9 I think. Some time after the upgrade to Workstation 10 or 8.1 of Windows Update 1 it has started.

    In 10 Workstation running on Windows 8.1, I select the file > new Virtual Machine dialog coming upwards and in a few seconds crashes of VMware workstation and closes.

    So I checked the Windows event logs and find

    Warning "VMware Workstation to function properly, must be reinstalled after the upgrade to Windows."

    So, I upgraded from 10.0.2 to 10.0.3 and it uninstalled and reinstalled but I still get this warning.

  • VMware Workstation 7 - why my PC freezes when opening a virtual machine?

    I used workstation 7.0 on my laptop Lenovo T400 of windows 7 for a month or two without any problems.

    Then a couple of days Workstation started OK but every time an attempt to open an image vmware of the laptop screen and the keyboard & mouse 'freeze' - no error message. I have to hold the power button / stop down to the laptop.

    The same vmware image works fine on another PC.

    I had some trouble uninstalling workstation initially-, but using the vnware uninstall tool I was able to uninstall and reinstall the post work - but still cannot open one of my images without the laptop freezing vm.

    I tried to install workstation 7.1 and vmware player 3.1 separately and they will appear to install (and uninstall) without problem - just can't open VM images. One thing I noticed is that when you reinstall workstation/vmware player - I can't find the adapter vmnet1 and vmnet8 at all. When you run vmnetcfg.exe, it seems to think vmnet1 & vmnet8 are there but they do not arise with ipconfig/all-command.

    Made a full chkdsk of the hard drive to find errors and a test of the RAM mem - everything was OK.

    Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

    John,

    I think it is most likely the result of the HW drivers updated being installed on the laptop.  I had this situation happen to me recently, my Intel Wifi driver has been updated and would crash my PC every time my computer was running and the laptop was trying to go to sleep, then wake up.  I found a new version that seems to have corrected the problem.

    Windows 7 has a great utility called the monitor of reliability for these situations.  If you presents a history of reliablity per day and more important still, tells you what happened day.  For example, on 6/7 you updated your Wifi driver and then for the next week you can see that your reliability rating is down to 5, every day since. :

    I tried to remove and then re-add files, to temporarily disable and sharing, but also re - install VMware tools, with no chance of return. The device worked fine until my clients running Windows 7 and 8.1.

    I know there are questions like that all over the forum, but I have found no working solution for workstation Pro (and Windows 10).

    Someone at - it ideas?

    There was another thread a few days on the same subject, where it has been fixed by completely uninstall VMware Tools, by restarting the OS invited and reinstall the tools (Important: not only do a "repair" install).  Have you tried full uninstall-reboot-reinstall of tools?

    See you soon,.

  • 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

    Patrick

    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.

  • Failed to create virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 11 (test)

    Hello people,

    I installed VMWare Workstation on my machine Windows 10 and trying to create multiple virtual machines to test the object. I have done this before on the Windows 7 computer and did not face any problems, but this time, as soon as I gave the location of the file to deploy an operating system it comes up with some fatal errors as error BLK_CACHE IOERR if I have enough space on the HARD drive and everything is not going further. So, my question is if my computer has compatible with Windows 10 problems or there is something else that would cause this problem. Any help or comments would be appreciated on this topic.

    Thank you!.

    Thanks for your answer, Noel

    I was going through discussions in the community with similar and found subjects that VMWare had released 12 pro workstation that supports Windows 10 entirely. I personally installed it on my physical machine and it works. Here is the link for the release of Workstation 12 notes.

  • Missing network drive prevents uninstalling VMWare Workstation

    I am difficult to uninstall VMware Workstation, we reassigned to a laptop computer of a user who has left the company however somewhere along the line of the installation of VMware has become broken (2 services does not [authorization and Workstation Server], I tried the registry changes suggested here with no luck (: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2178663#2178663). To work around this I want to reinstall VMWare Workstation. When do I receive an error that Setup search a network location that is not accessible and cannot continue.

    ""Could not access network location"\\network_location\username\My Documents\Shared Virtual Machines.

    Can someone point me in the right direction for re-pointing to this location so that the installation program can complete?

    Thank you

    Roland.

    Can you not just quickly and easily temporarily recreate the missing part, do the uninstall and then remove the is no longer need for action?

    If not, look in the Windows registry or files in "C:\ProgramData\VMware\hostd".  Or uninstall manually by using the information in: cleaning after incomplete uninstall on a Windows host (1308).
