• VMWare Workstation on Windows Drag and Drop 8.1 10.0.1 does not

  I use VMWare Workstation10.0.1 on a host Windows 8.1 and a guest on Windows Server 2008 R2. Drag / move does not seam to work between the guest and the host.   Copy / paste work, just not drag and drop.   Drag / drop "Not" work with a Windows 7 guest.

  I checked and tried the following:

  1. Drag and Drop is enabled under Guest insulation.
  2. I tried re - install the VMWare tools and am sure that they are running.
  3. I launched VMWare Workstation "as Administrator".
  4. I'm using a simple file created in Notepad.

  I just buy VMWare Worksation 33 days, so I'm 3 days on the support.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance.

  Did you uninstall completely, not to do a repair and then re-install VMware tools?

• VMware Workstation 10.0.1 and Windows 7 VM crash on CentOS 6.5 host

  Just upgraded to 6.5 CentOS 64-bit (2.6.32 - 431.el6.x86_64). After the updates and reboot I launched VMware Workstation 10.0.1 as I normally and began my OpenVPN (Wheezy Debian) VM with all the problems. I then started my Windows 7 64-bit VM and the entire army what OS hangs and I have to reboot using the reset button.

  I was able to reproduce twice in a row. The Windows 7 VM seems to start fine and then when I type my credentials in and it starts to load the office which is when everything goes south and the host completely freezes.

  The Windows 7 VM has nothing too complicated installed in it. Some Epson software to start uTorrent and printer in network at startup. Steam does as well, but it is not auto-login or do anything really.

  I just did some testing of synthetic load and covered all 8 cores (much more than the usual load) up to 24 GB, 32 GB of RAM and 50% of CPU on the host computer and things remained stable. I thought that a second question could be RAM related because after a soft on boot the Windows 7 VM running I am to about 7 GB of RAM used on the host computer and from the WIndows 7 VM would put me over 8 GB, which resembled a number of nice where things might go wrong If it is RAM related.

• Where VMWARE Workstation 11 stores no information about Virtual Machines open

  When you 'open' a virtual machine in VMWARE Workstation 11, then close VMWARE and open again, it remembers what virtual machines have been opened.  Where it does not store this information?

  After a lot of Googling, I found the answer I was looking for.

  The UNK file is located in

  %AppData%\vmware\preferences.ini

  However, the information of the open machine no longer in the UNK file.  It is now located at

• VMware Workstation 7 and Modem USB Huawei E1550 broadband

  I have Modem Huawei E1550 Broadband USB.

  I install the software and it works fine without problem.

  When I connect the Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 identify two piece of hardware (CD-ROM and 3 G USB Modem).

  I install VMware Workstation 7.

  Windows 7 stop identify Modem USB when I connect it and when I try to quit after removing the USB Modem, he never stop

  I'm trying to uninstall VMware workstation 7

  The return of the Modem to work.

  I install VMware Workstation 7 again.

  The modem stop to rework

  What should I do to work around this problem?

  As a test, you can re - install vmware workstation (the latest version) and after the installation if you meet him problem go to Microsft services

  > Start > run > servics.msc

  find the Vmware USB arbitration service

  Double-click on > Startup Type > set to manual > click stop > OK

  Now, make sure your devices are running, or you can always restart as well.  Now, you will not be able to use "pass through" for your virtual machines, but this seems to be a bug known, and currently no ETA

  Now, for a permanent solution to the users have restarted no problem with the help of Vmware Workstation 6.5 - this thread also covers this:

• 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.

• Cannot install VMware Workstation on Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit 11.1.1 - Please help

  You want to install VMware Workstation 11.1.1 on new 8.1 Windows Pro 64-bit PC.

  I had VMware Workstation 11.1.0, and deleted the original installer but did not finish the installation of the new version

  The installer gets about 2/3 way (progress bar) and then crashes, Windows Installer says Event Viewer hung.

  Race tried without firewall and AV, always not install question

  A ran the installer with / clean option and then tried again, but still he did not finish the installation process (crashes at the same place)

  Noticed in the Manager tasks that VMware Installer runs at about 14% of CPU, but nothing happens

  I'm really at a loss as to why I can't install VMware Workstation 11.1.1, all the other soft\ware settles very well.

  Please could someone help me?

  Thank you

• Fatal error VMWare Workstation: (vmx)

  Hello

  I created a VM to Oracle Red Hat Linux Enterprise (RHEL 5) and got this error message. This virtual machine is used as a database (Oracle, RedHat) server and connected to another virtual computer that is used as a device.

  

  I'm using VMWare Workstation version 9.02 and installed in Windows 7 64 bit. In this virtual machine, I created a snapshot. The last State of the virtual machine is interrupted and all I take it back, this error is displayed. I can't change the settings and go back also to any cliché that created before.

  I tried to restart the VMWare services and also used an earlier version of VMWare Workstation version 9.01, but he always does'nt work.

  I have attached the log file. No idea how I can fix this problem?

  Thanks for any help

  You must take the State suspended - something serious has changed since suspend you the VM.
  Looking at the newspaper, I guess that you do not have the same mouse than the one that you used when the virtual machine is suspended.

  Delete these files:

  G:\RHEL 5 2.6 18-8 x86_64\Oracle RHEL 5 2.6. 18-8 x86_64 - Snapshot14.vmsn

  G:\RHEL 5 2.6 18-8-x86_64\564d16bd-1ae0-7f67-3423 - 5ff35c59b4e7.vmem

  Remove these lines from the vmx:

  checkpoint.vmState.readOnly = 'TRUE '.

  checkpoint.vmState = 'Oracle RHEL 5 2.6 18 - 8 x86_64 - Snapshot14.vmsn.

  Then try to start the virtual machine - this time, it should not crash.
  It can still display a warning on a disc that could have a repair, but this could be a bluff, and we can deal with that later.

• Fatal error of VMware Workstation

  Hello

  I have serious problems with VMware Workstation (version 9.02) and unique virtual machine to Windows 8. VMware Workstation is installed x 64 host Windows 8. This unique virtual machine crashes randomly with the following error message:

  

  I have other virtual machines also but I have no problems with them. First of all, I thought it was a physical disk error and I moved this virtual machine to another drive, but it did not help. I reinstalled VMware Tools and even created a new virtual machine and cloned this issue with Acronis Backup & Restore machine for this. This due to the machine crashes with the same error, but every time you start so things went even worse.

  Any ideas what to do with it?

  I attach a log file.

  Post edited by: Demuz

  I updated to VMware Workstation 10 and reinstalled the whole problematic virtual machine from scratch, but it still crashed at random several times a day with the same error.

  But now things look well so far.

  Yesterday, I changed a setting. I unchecked "Accelerate 3D Graphics" settings of the virtual machine (under the display settings). After that, the virtual machine crashed 0 times and I've been using a whole day! I have Nvidia display with the latest adapter drivers Win 8.1 x 64 installed on the host machine. I think drivers Nvidia has something to do with this virtual machine crashing, maybe...

  I started to suspect the display driver Nvidia after seeing this nvd3dumpx.dll appears more than once in the log file (this is VMware Workstation logfile ater the crash):

• VMWare Workstation Lab for VCP, online options

  Hello

  Someone at - it a laboratory ESX or ESXi secure Channel in VMWare Workstation installation? I want to install a couple of ESX? ESXi hosts to perform vmotion, DRS, etc but I got contradictory about whether VMware information if possible. I do not expect to be supported.

  I would be grateful anyway - of. If this is not possible, I would that all recommendations for affordable online labs.

  Thank you

  Robert

  Hello...

  I followed what Sean Duffy suggested here:

  http://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/virtualization/VMware-Lab-Setup---a-virtualized-lab-for-testing-HA-and-DRS/

  Worked a treat.

  I am currently running under workstation 8.

  • 2 * servers Windows 2008 (Server AD & VC)
  • A NAS
  • 2 * ESXi hosts

  I then nest my virtual machines under ESXi hosts and can test all the features I need.

  My PC spec is:

  CPU - I7 2600 K

  RAM - 16 GB

  Storage - 120 GB SSD for the VMDK. I was running on my NetGear readyNAS, but found the performance was a little painful, especially when turning on/off or suspend the VMs (UN).

  My only complaint is that my VMWare Workstation expired evaluation license and currently waiting for my license after having passed my VCP. (even if it's another story/thread)

  For my Windows servers, I have a technet subscription.

  For ESXi, I'll have to re - install, but it's no biggie.

  I would like to see VMTN subscriptions available, but again, this is another thread.

• How to run VMWare workstation as a service?

  Hello

  I installed VMware Workstation 7 (latest version) and created a virtual machine. The problem is that once I have disconnected the host, the virtual machine stops!

  Is there a setting to prevent this? It should be able to run VMWare Workstation as a service.

  Thank you

  Running a process that wasn't supposed to be run as a service was taken over ad nauseam on Internet Google is your friend.

  Although it is possible to start the process as a service, however unless you use a program that can well handle the cessation of treatment and or restart the messages from the host and transmit them to the virtual machine, then it does not really work as a true service since it will not be the appropriate communication channels to activate the Virtual Machine to make a correct and controlled stop when the host is restarted or shutdown and that can damage the Virtual Machine.  If you plan to run a VM as a Service under VMware Workstation then I offer so you have good backups (which we should have anyway) and make sure you have access to working distance before running it as a service you can do a controlled stop on the VM before the reboot or shutdown of the host if you have not a utility appropriate to deal with it properly and safely.

  Another option is to use VMware Server, but keep in mind it seems to be the end of life and not maintained more.

• 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.

• Disadvantages with VMware Workstation (7) running on a server rack Xeon?

  Hello

  We intend to run VMware Workstation on my company (7) on a server rack Xeon based (the next generation of Xeon, i.e. Beckton/Nehalem-EX, with 8 cores, planned in the 1st quarter of 2010), and then access all of these virtual machine guests (based on Windows, both the server and desktop kind/flavor) by separate remote desktop connections direct to them.

  I had a very hard time, trying to find out if there is (large or small) disadvantages with this approach?

  We do not want to use Vmware Server for this, because its characteristics (for example with respect to snapshots) are lower than those of VMware Workstation, and nor do we want to use ESXi, because we always want to run Windows as a host on the server operating system.

  Is VMware Workstation our best choice then, and there will be no significant disadvantage? I think it's as if there is a missing in the VMware portfolio, product i.e. namely I miss a server product with all the features of VMware Workstation, which still runs on a different host OS, what am I?

  In any case, again, the main question is:

  This plan of ours is stupid, and in this case how should we best solve it? Is there really an advantage by using VMware Server instead of VMware Workstation in this situation and in this case more exactly what?

  Any input or answers will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

  VMware Workstation on a good Windows installation will do you fine.

  Ideal if you conclude that the MS-host in this day you don't need no matter what Antivirus or firewall.

  Then such a facility will do what you expect.

  I wouldn't consider VMserver - workstation surpasses VMserver my experience
