• 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!

• VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V system role before running VMware Workstation

  Ouch. I just started to do some Win Phone 8 and development Win, and all simulators are needed for development.

  This means that a dev to Win8 may only work on their host... I'm sure it would work in a virtual machine.

  Can I make for happy? (Hyper V might have to win here... sigh).

  VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V system role before running VMware Workstation

  Once you install the Hyper-V role on your host, your host is no longer running Windows 8 as the native operating system.  It runs Hyper-V as the native operating system, and Windows 8 runs as OS management within a privileged under Hyper-V VM.  With the Hyper-V role installed, * everything * runs in a virtual machine under Hyper-V.

  So to run a virtual machine under my computer in Windows 8 under Hyper-V, you must be able to run a nested VM.  It's possible with Hyper-V, the hypervisor host, but with the updates in custody, I mentioned above.

• VMWARE Workstation and VMWARE Player

  I have a simple question: what is the difference between VMWARE Workstation and VMWARE Player.

  I have 2 PCs at home and have Windows Vista Home Edition and Windows XP Pro, I want to install Windows 98, to play older games.

  VMWare has free download, will this work? what I need?

  THX

  I used the two products but I prefer VMware products for my virtualization needs, which neither include playing games.

  In all sincerity, if you already have Windows 98 SE and the game sitting there, then I was going just to download VMware Player and test it.  You could probably do that more quickly then go through all that.

  If the Alien vs Predator game talk you is indicated to Aliens versus Predator (video game) and its system requirements, then I would Imaging VMware Player, that's all you need to give it a go and if you don't like not the performance or you can't find a VMware Player fairly easy to work with then try Microsoft virtualization product.

• VMWare Workstation and Windows 7 64 bit

  Someone had problems with VMWare Workstation running Windows 7 64 bit? My computer hangs when creating the virtual machine guests. I also have VirtualBox running very stable with Windows 7. I was wondering if anyone has had problems? VMWare has a new version of 7 who suppose to be stable with Windows 7. I am skeptical. Your comments are welcome.

  "There is a time and place for that. The time is... Never. You can figure out the place on your own.

• The host VMware workstation and multi-core CPU

  Apologies if this has already been answered, but all my research to turn questions about processors how can specify in a virtual machine. It's not what I'm after here.

  I want to know is the use of VMware workstation (v6 and v7) is available on a multi-core worksation host physical cores.

  I have a scenario where we have several virtual machines containing sensitive coding environments. The material that they are on is a little old and we don't have the time or the knowledge to recreate systems (a combination of Matlab, DSpace and some custom coding). Our only option (and we did it for a couple with success so far) is to create virtual machines of these workstations.

  Which is absolutely essential for us is the material we choose VMs on host. Virtual machines will use simple/double/processors virtual.

  In order to choose the correct hardware platform, I need to know if VMware workstation is running an instance of the virtual computer within a single processor (in this case is the reduced performace?), or if there are multithreaded and make the most of the hardware it will run on.

  (We are not welcome, never more 2 virtual machines at the same time)

  Any suggestions on material would be appreciated also. I think of something based around a core of Xeon 4-6 with 12-16 GB of RAM.

  Thank you very much

  Correct, for laboratory/debugging and interaction VM Workstation is pretty good.

• VMware workstation and ReadyNAS to store the virtual machine

  Hello

  I just bought a Netgear Readynas box for home (Readnas RND2000 XRAID SIN) and it seems like a big box to keep a backup of my critical data and flow data and video music.

  Now that will take about 100 GB in space and I'll always have weird to play with 400 GB and it made me think if I host all my test VM I created using VMware workstation, for the moment I use a local computer, but its lack of disk space, I tried to put the virtual computer on an external drive and performance is ok on it as well but for me , it would be ideal if I could store them on the readynas and open them through VM workstation.

  Of course put it on a NAS box could be problematic, has anyone tried this on one of these boxes ReadyNAS? its probably not designed for this type of data and traffic, but if anyone has got, it works, I would be interested to hear comments.

  One of the potential problems in my view is I'll be going through a wireless router with a 4 port 100 mb go and see that as a problem, it replaces a gigabit switch would make a huge difference, or would it still slow?

  I would appreciate any advice on this.

  Thank you

  I'll guess that your external hard drives are USB.  In this case my answer is Firewire.  I run several of my virtual machines to external Firewire drives very good success.  While I ran a few virtual machines from USB, USB just isn't the sustained performance of Firewire.  This is the case on my Macbook Pro and my HP Pavilion (with built-in Firewire.)

  That said, even if I don't have any experience with the ReadyNAS, I use a Windows Server as NFS storage to an ESX Server.  The gigabit switch is almost a necessity.  Possible about 100 MB, but significantly better on gigabit.  In addition, the link of the ESX to Windows NFS is on a physically separate local network segment, so I don't have any problems with the network traffic slows down the virtual machine.  I have not tried Workstation with storage NFS, as I always got Firewire on all my machines so I kept for most of the virtual machine from the network.  YMMV, of course, but I suspect that you will have to keep the rest of the traffic network in mind if you can not create a separate network for NFS storage.  (for example: no internet surfing on the host while the virtual machine is running.)

• How to configure vmware workstation and server Suse 10 as operating system prompted

  Hi, I installed vmware workstation 6.5 on vista and Suse 10 as guest operating system.  I keep Suse as default (without any network configuration).  I modified the default vmware gateway 192.168.2.1 keep even as window by default gateway settings. I also changed to the subnet to 192.168.2.0.  The IP address is replaced by 192.168.2.128. IP address of my Vista is 192.168.2.4 and DNS Server 4.4.4.1 and 4.4.4.2.

  I tried to ping between host and guest, and comments to the host, but still received the error of "destination host unreachable". It does not matter using host only or NAT mode.

  All Documents available? All advice? What do I have to configure Suse network. ?

  Thank you

  If the IP address of comments has the correct value you use VMnet8, not VMnet1. It should work, but this isn't the network "host-only '. That's what I need the .vmx file for. If this indicates that the virtual NETWORK adapter is configured as 'host-only' the IP of comments is wrong. It must be 192.168.17.x in this case.

  However... try to get a ping of the IP address, not name. Depending on the configuration you have posted, you should try to ping the 192.168.30.1 customer and 192.168.30.128 host. Don't forget that cannot work if your client is configured to use instead of VMnet1 VMnet8. If it is really configured to use VMnet1 you must change the IP of comments that I wrote above.

  If the host and the guest have active firewall disable them for testing purposes.

  Furthermore, by default, VMware installs a DHCP for VMnet1 and VMnet8 service. So if this service is still running on your host computer, you can assign the DHCP client and he gets the appropriate automatically for the network IP address.

  I don't no how to open the *.vmx in text format.  I noticed that vmnet1 IP address on the side of the BACK is 192.168.17.1 but side comments, it is established as 192.168.20.0.

  It is a text file. Just open in an editor and copy and paste it or attach the file to your next post.

• VMWare Workstation 12 and 18 of Linux Mint (Ubuntu 16.04) and vmware tools or open-vmware-tools

  I created a new virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 12.1.1 build-3770994 with a guest OS from Linux Mint 18 (which is built on top of Ubuntu 16.04). I have two monitors on my system, the two 2560 x 1440. I am unable to get this virtual machine Linux Mint 18 to cover all of my two monitors when I disable "Accelerate 3D graphics" in my vm settings, I get an error. I have another Linux Mint 17 VM running on the same VMWare Workstation 12 on the same host machine from Windows 10 and it is able to expand on my two monitors very well with "Accelerate 3D graphics" disabled, but he does not open-vmware-tools.

  I have read instructions telling me to install open-vm-Tools-Office in this guest operating system of Linux Mint 18. I did it. Then I restart the guest operating system. When starting, I can click on 'Enter full screen mode' in my menu of VMWare Workstation, and the guest OS has a monitor as expected. When I then click on "Cycle multiple monitors", I get the following error. "The virtual machine could not be changed to the selected screen layout. If you add a monitor to the host computer, you must turn off and turn on the virtual machine to use this monitor. »

  

  I can optimize my VM to automatic adjustment, only one of my two screens, but not both. I tried to uninstall and reinstall open-vm-tools, open-vm-tools-desktop and restart. I tried to use /vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl's original vmware tools and who does not work either.

  In my vmware.log, I get these two lines that occur when I get the above error.

  When I activate "Accelerate 3D graphics" with the configuration described above, I am able to use both of my monitors. Why is this the case?

  I think remember having to disable "Accelerate 3D graphics" in my Linux Mint 17 comments vm because it would crash randomly. I try to run this VM Linux Mint 18 with 3D acceleration and see if it crashes, but why is there a difference with spanning multiple monitors?

  Thank you.

  I didn't experience this problem for a few weeks. I don't have a definitive answer to my original problem.

  I installed Mate instead of cinnamon 3 to my MINT 18. Then, I created a new VM with Ubuntu Gnome 3 16.04 running as the OF. I did have problems with both approaches. I also tried using Firefox as my main browser instead of Chrome, as I read that Chrome can have problems of memory. It could be a combination of several of these changes that have allowed me to work without problems.

  Knowing what I know now, I think the move away from cinnamon 3 is what seems to have fixed my problems. I can certainly say that you use Firefox consumes less memory, as I can monitor the monitor system under Ubuntu. Chrome would eventually eat all my system memory, that I could see. The extent of the why? I'm not sure at this point.

• Certificate expired on a server that has only the client VMware and VMware workstation

  Our scanners detected security certificate expired vmware on a server. The only products currently running on this server are VMware workstation and the vSphere client. I looked in all the installed certificates and their lack of vmware. When I open a web browser and go to the IP address of servers using port 443 I get a message of invalid certificate and look a certificate it shows expired recently, and was published by VMware. Where can I find this certificate and what is used to indicated the products installed on this system?

  The certificate was for workstation server configurations (connection sharing VMs/Remote). Just disabled the sharing feature because it is not used.

  Find the certificate in the program data-file VMware. Could not find information on renewal, only how to replace it.

• 8.06 workstation and hostAgentStats - 20.stats

  Salvation;

  I am running VMware Workstation 8.0.6 under Windows 7 64 bit host. I tried to understand why the rate of wear on my new SSD seems higher than expected.

  Studying this with xperf tool, I noticed that the file C:\ProgramData\VMware\hostd\stats\hostAgentStats-20.stats is is written in all the time if I'm running a VM or not (even when I'm all virtual machine doesn't work don't not so much the interface of the user interface does not). About 10,2 MB an hour of the process 'system '.

  What is this file for, and I can put it off? It is normally necessary, is it possible to disable off at least when no VM do work?

  Thank you;

  It is a part of the Service Server VMware Workstation and if you do not use any shared virtual machines then turn and disable the Server Service VMware Workstation in Windows Services.

  If you use VMware Workstation Server Service there is a hostAgentStats.xml file in the same folder, the content which is show below, you can try setting to 0 or something smaller then 180 and also increase of the if you want.

• Can I access physical disks inside VMware Workstation?

  Hey there,

  I'm curious to know if it is possible to access the physical hard drives within a real operating system.  Lets say I am running Windows XP inside VMware workstation and I have an additional physical hard drive installed in my computer (we'll call it E drive in the operating system of the host that is Windows Vista).

  I want to access drive E in the virtual Windows XP for storage space.  Is it possible to do?

  Now suppose another scenerio,

  I have drive G in my host OS and it contains all sorts of delicious data I want to see the inside of my virtual Windows XP and maybe even add some other delicious from within the virutal OS files.  Is this also possible?

  Thanks in advance, I did a lot of research and could not find anything regarding these issues.

  The answer is Yes.  Under the parameters of the virtual machine, you can add, and then select the physical disk, and choose the drive to mount.  It's good if you have a physical drive side that does not use the computer itself.

  Now if you want to just copy or move files 1-2 here and there in your physical machine to the virtual, you can still drag and drop between two desktop computers.  Another great way to transfer files is to do it via network shares.  I wouldn't ride the host o/s of hard disk to the virtual machine to a few files and then just pull...

• 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.
