VMware Workstation failed to mount the physical disk 10TB

VMware workstation or any other product vmware does support more than 2 TB of physical disks?

I am trying to connect a 5 of 10 TB raid enclosure and mount it on my ubuntu vmware workstation machine. The common error that I receive is when mounting the reader on ubuntu and I think it might have something to do with the size of the file.
I am running vmware workstation 12 in windows 10.
The disk is taken offline in windows and I'm under WS as an administrator.

The official version said that WS allows only virtual up to 8 TB of disk.

According to my own tests, it only limits the size of the VMDK for 'New - VM' Assistant.
Once you have a greater vmdk - just tried a vmdk 10TB - WS won't complain about the size.
I don't expect that WS will prevent the physical disks to use inside a virtual machine that is already configured.
So in your case I think you started WS with a normal user account.
Try to start as administrator WS - maybe even using the administrator account.
I think that then it will work.
Unfortunately, the error messages produced by vmware.exe are not really accurate-, so there is no way to know if you really have a bad super block.
To test if this is really the problem and not just an error message - poor try to mount the drive directly.
Please post the vmdk - want to know if there is something unusual about 5.5 TB in the disk.

  • VMware workstation tray icon starts the Notepad?

    Whenever VMware Workstation 11 runs in the background and I double click on the icon my computer - Notepad opens instead of VWware workstation on the host.  The same thing happens if I right click and select "Open VMware Workstation.  This was happening before you install version 11.  I was hoping that the new version/installation might solve the problem.

    Since the installation of version 11 - I tried to uninstall and reinstall the application.  I also tried to uninstall, run the application to install with the option "/ clean" and then reinstalling with reboot between each.  I also tried the suite "The clean after an incomplete installation on a Windows Welcome guide" all with the same effect.

    Hi Steve and welcome on VMware communities!

    With your virtual machine turned off the power, go into the settings of your virtual machine and on the Options tab, under general, select the client OS type: Linux > Debian 7 64-bit.  Then try to turn your virtual computer and see if it works.  (8 debian is quite close to Debian 7.)

    See you soon,.

    Welcome to the community,

    the problem is probably caused by the apostrophe in the name of the folder of the user. Try at each logon with a different user (temporary) account, or change the temp/tmp environment variable to point to a different directory (existing), for example, "C:\TEMP".

  • VMware-mount has the ability to mount the dynamic disk?

    I understand that there are 2 types of VMDK / disks: basic and dynamic. I would like to know if vmware-mount exe has the ability to set up dynamic disks? If so, how?

    I tried to use the command vmware-mount as:

    " X: vmware-mount ' [storage1 | ] http://communities.VMware.com/community-document-picker.jspa?communityID= & subject = storage1 "[ ] VMDKName.vmdk ' /h:IPAddress u:UserName /s:Password i:DataCenterName/vm/VMName

    but he did not succeed. It gives the following error, even if no one is using the VMDk nor is the machien powered:

    "Unable to mount the virtual drive. The disk can be used by a virtual machine, may not have enough volumes or mounted under a different drive letter. If not, check that the file is a valid virtual disk file. ».

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

  • 12.04.01 Ubuntu x 86-putting in place a virtual Windows XP machine to access the physical disk

    Dear community,

    I'm new to VMware Workstation, but progressed in computer science.

    At first, I want to give you a brief introduction of my system and my goal.

    HP ProBook 6550 b (System with Intel Core i5 processor Intel-based)

    The HARD drive access mode: S - ATA AHCI

    Operating systems: Windows 7, Ubuntu 12.04 x 86, Ubuntu 12.04 x 64

    Boot Manager: GRUB2

    VMware Workstation (trial period) to 9.01 Linux x 86

    Goal: install MS Windows XP Professional with physical disk access several partitions on the hard drive local

    The installation of VMware Workstation 9.01 on my system Ubuntu 12.04 x 86 worked perfectly, without any error. Large.

    I was able to set up and run a Windows XP VM standard by creating a new virtual disk , following the Nice Wizard.

    It was just to test, but just after I tried to configure the same OS as a virtual machine using a physical disk (for advanced users) to directly access a local hard drive.

    Also, I selected "BusLogic (recommended)" on the choice of type of I/O controller.

    As a device, I chose the HARD internal laptop drive and used two individual partitions (the real partitions on my HARD drive I wanted access within the virtual machine).

    These partitions have been preformatted with NTFS (and not have been mounted in my Ubuntu).

    However, I was not sure if Windows XP has been will be installed on one of these partitions.

    The turn on/off the virtual machine to install the OS, I got the message following (msg1):

    "You are using a SCSI drive. Performance of dual-boot SCSI physical drives are poor. The installed operating system could not start correctly in the virtual machine. However, the physical SCSI disks work normally so exclusively in the virtual machine. »

    Just after the message following (msg2):

    "If you dual-boot a native Windows installation, problems can occur when attempting to start your system in VMware Workstation." For more information, see "http://vmware.com/info?id=128". "
    Click OK to continue, Cancel to power off.

    And finally this (msg3):

    «An error has occurred causing a virtual CPU go into the stop State.» If this anomaly had occurred outside of a virtual machine, it would have caused the physical machine restart. The stop State are accessible by properly configuring the virtual machine, a bug in the guest operating system or a problem in VMware Workstation.
    Click OK to restart the virtual machine or Cancel to turn off the virtual machine. »

    I cannot explain the last error message and don't know what to do.

    After specifying msg2, I found information about possible problems in dual-boot environments, caused by different drivers for the IDE controller.

    So I tried to change the access mode to S - ATA AHCI HARD drive to S - ATA IDE in the BIOS to solve the problem.

    Unfortunately, I have had no success on this operation, because the error message appeared again, once I restarted the VM.

    Sorry, but I have no idea what goes wrong.

    In fact, I don't know what VMware workstation wants to do, when you install the system on a disc/physical partition to have direct access to the local hard disk.

    Because I don't see even the first screen of Windows Setup, there must be something wrong.

    Underlying product system issues and if it's a primary or logical partition?

    Need a complete unformated HDD?

    Only selected partitions are accessible within the virtual machine?

    Is the system installed itself on the selected partitions?

    Maybe some experienced users can help.

    Your help is welcome!

    Thank you.

    First I use a raw disk to install Windows XP from a virtual machine, but if I had an existing installation, I would add the partition as a raw to be executed with a VM disk.

    Here's what I'd do...  Install Windows XP to a normal file based virtual machine, and then add a second disk as a raw disk with the partitions you want to join.  That's assuming that you really need not where what to start Windows XP natively and the physical partitions that access are used for data.  Also if need be add the raw disk as IDE.

  • VMWare Workstation fail to restart after suspend

    I'm using VMWare Workstation 7.1.1 build 282343 on a laptop Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 (8 GB). I run my VMS machines from a disk external eSata. My VMs are all Windows Server 2008 x 64. When I finished work I suspend the virtual machine, stop VMWare Workstation, then disconnect the eSata drive. It is, whenever I just restarted the VM, I get a message that is not possible to restore and I give myself the opportunity to "get rid" or retry - retry fails, so I have to throw. It's embarrassing because it then takes a boot for a long time the virtual machine from scratch.

    Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  • VMware Player (VMware Workstation?) Interfere with the connection of the browser

    I installed VMware Player (or so I think) on Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2.  Here's what the Properties tab - & gt; Details shows for "C:\Program VMware Player\vmplayer.exe:

    Description of the file: VMware Player

    I looked for this in order to make the version of the-what? -VMware Player or VMware Workstation I, and in order to find the right users Guide or manual.

    But this isn't my problem entirely.

    My problem is that I was using my HTTP (browser) client and it has been noticed that I could not connect to certain websites (e.g., http://www.gnu.org/).  I can do that at home, through my wireless router (configured for IP) static on the local network.  Then I go to work where I use the ethernet connection (not getting any IP by DHCP!... configured for a static IP address on the WAN).  I call tech info, that says they can connect.  I think it's because I'm using OpenDNS instead of the name of University servers, and then I enter the "Network Sharing Center' and see 'several networks' and THREE Local (ethernet) connections.

    After that think "WTF?" and think that 2 local connections and 3 are screwing things up, I disable all local connections and re-enable the connection with the hardware ethernet card.  Who has NOT solved the problem of my failed to connect to the web site, that is

    http://grub4dos.sourceforge.NET/

    The service

    http://GSiteCrawler.com/tools/server-status.aspx

    reports the HTTP 200 response code very quickly.  I use this service to see if the info tech group workplace blocks a web site.

    However, I want to learn more about virtual network maps created by the VMware Player (desktop?).  I ran the "vmnetcfg.exe" interface and in the Summary tab, see:

    Virtual network

    Subnet

    DHCP

    VMnet0 (bridged)

    255.255.255.255

    VMnet1 (host only)

    192.168.136.0

    Activated

    VMnet8 (NAT)

    192.168.219.0

    Activated

    The guide I want to read should explain what are these local ethernet adapters and they can interfere with the operation of the host outside of the virtual machine.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the forums!

    The guide: http://pubs.vmware.com/ws7_ace26/ws_user/ws_net.html#989125

    Where is your problem to browse occur? In comments or host?

    VMnet0 is the virtual bridged network. He connected the virtual NETWORK adapter of your guests who are bridge transparently to your physical network device.

    VMnet1 is the network invited only, a virtual, where the host and the guests are members of. You see a VMnet1 NIC on the host, because it's the virtual card that the host uses to connect to VMnet1.

    VMnet8 is the NAT network. It connects to each stack TCP/IP Protocol on the host computer. Therefore the guest may use any communication device that uses TCP/IP. Th egust is hidden behind the NAT device. This means that all packets leaving the host, coming from the prompt appear to come from the host. VMnet8 virtual card is one that connects to the host on VMnet8 virtual network to enable external communication for the customer.

  • VMware Workstation 6.5 - not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine

    My host is a processor Intel Core i5 (active VT) and 8 GB of RAM Windows 7 64 bit running with hardware virtualization enabled.

    Apart from McAfee Antivirus and the usual Windows updates, no other software has been installed on the host machine.

    I am running Vmware Workstation 6.5 and I installed 3 popular VM with below guest OS, s/w and memory:

    VMware ESX 4-2 GB
    Server 2003 (DC and DNS) - 1 GB

    Server 2003 (vCenter Server) - 1 GB

    However, it is not possible for me to all 3 virtual machines run simultaneously. If I turn on Vmware ESX 4 and try to start Windows 2003 VM, it displays the following message:

    Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings.

    To resolve this problem, set the parameters in additional memory to allow for more virtual memory machine to swap.

    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.

    Can you get it someone please let me know where are the rest of the memory is busy? Size of total memory of 3 virtual machines are only 4 GB and I have to be able to run all the VMs set 3, but in this case I can't even run two virtual machines simultaneously.

    Please help what should I do?

    With 8 GB of RAM on the host allowing why only 1 GB to be reserved for all you run virtual machines?

  • Add the physical disk to SBS 2008 VM

    Hello everyone

    I installed VMWare ESXi server on my PC and then I created a Vitrual Machine (VM) by installing MS Small Business Server 2008.

    I want to use it as a main server and I want to attach additional physical contain hard drives that contain currently downloads and applications so that I can share them on the network of the virtual SBS2008 machine.

    I read around a bit on how to add hard drives to a VM machine. From my understanding, it seems that I can give direct access to the VM (SBS, 2008) on the discs, but they need to be formatted in the virtual machine format (vmdk).

    Is it possible for me to add or my NTFS hard disks on the computer virtual card without losing any existing data they hold somehow?

    Thank you

    Frank.

    You can only do this if you have disks that are a SAN (iscsi or FC connectivity) solution.  You can not simply to attach a physical disk to a virtual machine...

    the only way you can make available these readers is to have a physical box with them connected and spread then readers...

  • Move the physical disk to another server ESXi

    Hey guys,.

    I copied a virtual computer to another physical disk on my ESXi server.

    Is it possible to take the disk and move it physically

    Another ESXi machine and see the data existing on the second ESXi store

    Server?

    We were doing the initial test on a test machine. Now I want to move the virtual machine to a server better

    with a raid array. I know that I can use

    SCP, but I prefer not bogged down my network file copy 100 gig.

    When I physically move the disc I can see on the second

    machine. But I don't know how to add it in

    storage. When I use the wizard, I get a

    WARNING: it will wipe the data.

    Thank you

    Should be possible, but you may need to activate volume resignaturing on ESXi in so he could see the new drive.  Search the VMware KB for "will esx" and you should be able to find an article that explains how to...

  • Why vmware workstation does not mask the cpuid SYSCALL/SYSRET little?

    I am running VMware workstation 11.1.3 on linux.  In my client operating system 64-bit, I notice that cpuid for eax = 0 x 8000001 returns a value edx masks who has always little 11.  It's the bit SYSCALL/SYSRET ability.

    Here is the part of the vmware.log file shows the parameters of my hostCPUID:

    2016 02-03 T 15: 59:19.629 - 08:00 | VMX | I120: hostCPUID level 80000001, 0: 0x00000000 0x00000000 0 x 00000021 0x2c100800

    As you can see, edx is 0x2c100800, which means that my system is capable of SYSCALL/SYSRET.

    I tried to add the following to my vmx file:

    monitor_control.enable_fullcpuid = 'TRUE '.

    CPUID.80000001.EDX = '-:-:-:-:-: 1 -: -: - ".

    Unfortunately, even with these settings, my diary of vmware shows no entry in the section 'Differences CPUID of hostCPUID' to cpuid.80000001.

    As a test, I tried to change bit 10 instead of 11 to cpuid.80000001.edx bits and the difference that presented themselves.  So what is the 11 bit characteristic, and why is he always have hidden inside the virtual machine no matter what I do?

    Thank you.

    You check what code 64-bit or 32-bit code in compatibility mode?  Mode 32 bits (legacy and compatibility), only AMD processors set this bit.

    After a further review of the pb crash was due to the configuration of jumbo packets. Should be disabled with the current use of VMWare Workstation.
