• Interwoven VMware Workstation clients and 64-bit.

  I found a lot of information on nested ESXi, but nothing useful on desktop. Instructions for ESXi doesn't really work with all upwards I'm reaching for the unknown me reason.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  P. S.

  Their virtual machines running in vSphere, and by giving them access to that and ditching Workstation is not an option, or a workstation connection to vSphere.

  I added vhv.allow = "TRUE" in the configuration of VMware and restarted host without success.

  By using the web client, go to the settings screen of the processor for the external client to Windows 7. Check the box "Expose hardware support for virtualization to the guest operating system."  Guest must be turned off when you make this change.

• 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

• Can anyone confirm if host vista can go to sleep when vmware workstation is running?

  I posted a question on my vista machine not to fall asleep when vmware is running. I have all the answers.

  Now, I would like to ask differently. Can anyone confirm or deny that your vista machine to sleep when vmware is running. Please indicate your vista edition and vmware workstation version. Please also note that VMware is running any active guest of the OSes. In my case, even if vmware won't be meme si vmware ne s' execute running no matter what guest OS, the machine won't go to sleep sleep once expired. Strange - if you just click on 'Start' - & gt;... - & gt; "' Sleep menu", the machine will sleep very well, even if vmware is running some OSes comments.

  Chuck, I use Vista Business SP1 with VMware Workstation 6.5.2 and he falls asleep without problem with or without a running virtual machine.

  You configure the duration of sleep through Control Panel > plan Options of food, then by setting it to this power, or are you using some sort of freeware Vista shutdown/sleep timer app?

• Recommendations for his new laptop of VMware Workstation 7 run machines virtual esx

  I'm about to buy a new laptop and I'm looking for something that is reasonably priced and that will be able to help me study for the new vcp tests by installing esx4 inside the workstation.

  If you know any good portable that won't break the Bank that will work for sure for this, I would really appreciate your advice.

  Thanks for your help.

  I have the p9600 (2.66 GHz with 6 MB of cache) in mine.  You can just call and order and ask anything you want.  Sometimes (as in my case) they will have processors that are not yet listed yet.  I think the max is just at 3 GHz.  I usually run 3 VMs at a time, or I'll run my team (4 virtual machines) and another 1 or 2 with them.  I used for my RHCT practice stuff and it will use for my VCP and MCITP Enterprise Administrator practice as well.  I had with Vista x 64, but put Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 on it when he came in (MSDN).

  How was the original virtual controller?

  If it's IDE, you will need to also change SCSI to IDE on ESX 4.0.

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

  

  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!

• 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.

  Any ideas?  Other then not being able to open VMware Workstation via the everything tray icon works great.

  System:

  Windows Pro 8.1, 64-bit

  Dual Intel processors Xeon E5-2650 v2 - 32 hearts

  Dual NVIDIA Quadro K4000

  64 GB RAM DDR3

  Disk 512 GB SSD - RAID 0 system

  24 TB SAS - RAID 10

  After digging through many areas I final found the resolution to this problem.  The question which was the file extension. VMX was assigned to Notepad.  A quick reallocation in the 'Default settings programs' window and everything is fine.

  

• VMWare Workstation 10.0.1 Crash/Hang up

  Have a situation where VMWare Workstation 10.0.1 crashes all virtual machines and can not even then stop my physical machine itself

  Seems pretty consistent that he does whenever I start a couple of virtual machines.  Can't even kill the process - start another instance of the workstation and that crashes too

  My machine is running Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.  I created a dump file, but it is 446 MB so don't think that I will be uploading it not anytime soon!

  Help!

  Had similar problems in 10.0, but 10.0.1 looks even worse :-(  Think I'm going to be downgraded - perhaps even to 9.0.2 which was strong on the same machine.  Really hope that I didn't not lose my money upgrading to 10

  OK, final update on this - in the end it came down to problem of disk on the host controller.  After a little research I found that many people have problems with Marvell SATA controllers (9230 in my case) where the SSD is attached.  It seems that there are problems with power management features that cause SSDS hang effectively making you into a kind of energy saving mode.

  After many changes of configuration and test in an attempt to move things forward the Marvell controller, I ended up spending my SSD (which hosts the VM readers) works at an Intel controller - in fact, I removed all the RAID config, including standard hard drives of the Marvell controller and run just stand-alone drives off as now (that I ended up having to rebuild RAID1 arrays often enough).

  So now everything works smoothly and no hanging of VMWare Workstation, no matter how many VMS are run/updated... Happy Days!

  So I would say that if you see (Reset of the device, \Device\RaidPort1, has been issued) or similar in your event logs (obviously for Windows only) and then check if you use a Marvell SATA controller - if you are away from your drives (especially the SSDs) to another controller

• 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

  Nick

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

• Can't build the kernel Linux in VMware Workstation 7.0 modules

  Hi, I have VMware Workstation 7.0 installed on a Fedora 20 x86_64 system, and I can't get past the 'install' kernel modules I looked around, but and I tried some things but none have worked. Is there anyone here who knows how to create and load the modules in the kernel for my system. The kernel is 3.13.8 - 200.fc20.x86_64 - x86_64.

  Thank you

  Fedora is not a host operating system support however is not officially supported and may / will this market are separate things.

  I have VMware Workstation 10 running under Fedora 20 on the stock kernel however the core of 3.13.x is not yet supported on supported OS host and modules need to be patched.

  VMware Workstation 7 is probably to old for work, unless you can find patches of third parties to the versions of core and WS.

• Question of VMWare Workstation

  I recently bought the latest version of VMWare Workstation, it runs on Windows 7.  I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.  I created two VM.  Both virtual machines have been built with the CentOS operating system.  I installed Oracle 10 g on VM #1 database server and installed the WebLogic Oracle 11 g on VM #2 application server.  Basically, I'm trying to figure out how to get the WebLogic application server (on VM #1) connected to the Oracle database server (on VM #2).  When I set up my database connection in WebLogic he asks the login information database (IP address, Port number, db name, db user, password, db etc.).

  Is the only way to do what I ask to give each VM is the own distinct IP address?    Do I have other options?  I did this on my home network that is behind a router, so I don't have that 1 IP address unique that is given to every computer on my network.

  Wes

  Welcome to the community - Yes, you must assign an IP address to each virtual machine - if you do not need to access the virtual machines from outside you workstation, you can do so with a single host network - see pages http://www.vmware.com/pdf/ws71_manual.pdf 290

• VMware® Workstation 8.0.4 you will only be able to run 32-bit nested vMs

  HI people,

  I did a forum search tried a few things suggested previously, but not joy.

  I get this error message

  Virtualized intel VT - x /EPT is disabled for this machine virtual esx
  you will only be able to run 32-bit nested vMs

  =================================

  The host OS is Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition, 64-bit 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2

  VMware® Workstation 8.0.4 build-744019

  
  The server is an HP ml350 g5 zeon 5420 cpu quad core server

  
  history esx 5i was installed on bare metal, I formatted and installed server 2008 x 64 sp2

  
  the bios is the last

  and these bios options are set

  Intel VT enabled,
  and no. execute activated too memory.

  ==============

  I understand that when these changes are made to the host should be recycled to power...

  
  This bios like many others after record changes usually f10, the changes are made and this server restarts

  is this normal?

  don't know what means VMware by power cycle

  I have disabled you options to see if I get an error that I saw the jpeg format

  (called) when the vt is disabled in the bios

  He talks about power cycle the host,

  I have the new option that was just to see if the vmworkstation was reacting to the bios actullaly.

  It has been.

  ============================================================

  
  all this should be good as the tool VMware-comments 64check - 5.5.0 - 18463

  reports

  This host is capable of running an operating system of 64 comments

  I ran it under this vmware product.when on my host Server 2008 x 64 sp2 enterprise.

  =============================

  I installed vmware workstion 8.0.4 on windows 2008 x 64 sp2 build-744019

  then I installed esxi 5 all right

  under custom options for the CPU, I chose Intel VT - x or Amd - V
  ==================================

  
  but when I opened esxi 5

  I get the error message #.

  Virtualized intel VT - x /EPT is disabled for this machine virtual esx
  you will only be able to run 32-bit nested vMs

  
  so I tried this

  
  Add the following line to C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini:

  hv.assumeEnabled = 'TRUE '.

  I also put this line

  hv.assumeEnabled = 'TRUE '.

  C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\VMware\preferences.ini

  
  but still the same question after stop downs and restarts too

  I stop the physical server and restarts too

  My query

  These settimgs are supposed to be done in the two files above and in brackets ""

  must they be carried out before the esxi is actually installed in the workstation 8 or after.

  
  SO IMHO workstation notice 8 is misinterpreted something on my hardware.

  The ideas people?

  I have tried several combinations but no joy...

  Hmmmm...

  so with the options checked in workstation should it work,.

  (I tried it did not work)

  I don't know if I still need the lines edited in two places during the use of this option?

  and should it be done before that Esxi is installed in the workstation 8?

  or is the line of editing out of place now?

  Line editing is not relevant for your situation, since your CPU does not have the characteristics necessary for the virtualization of hardware support virtualized.

  If this server supports Esxi 5 bare metal because it was installed when I got it...

  First option get a processor that supports the corrrectly but if Intel specs are misleading where should I start... ???

  under kernel options for this doc of quickspecs ML350 g5 Server

  There are a variety of processors. any suggestions on one. ?

  http://h18000.www1.HP.com/products/QuickSpecs/12475_na/12475_na.html#core%20Options

  ========================

  None of these processors will help.  You need at least a CPU E55xx for HV virtualized.

  Option 2) now on this bare metal Esxi 5 with this current processor can I install 64-bit clients? (guess I'll try soon) but I would like to know... all ideas welcome...

  Yes, no problem.

  should I just particularly setttings in ESXi5?

  N °

  All the options for me to set up a laboratory for vsphere upward with this as is, or with the new processor?

  IMHO if not I could use 2 of these physical servers if I can get another assumption, that he would need to be the same?

  to try they full of features of vsphere. like HA, Vmotion etc.

  No, he would not have to be identical.  No matter what CPU Intel x 64 of this vintage, or later would be compatible with EVC (well well, with the exception of Atom).  You need only an identical processor for tolerance to failures.

  as this comment by DOC from VMWare, in the 'internal' invited you will just be able to run 32-bit clients, never a 64 bit one.

• Impossible to run/load 64 - bit OS in VMware Workstation 8

  I recently bought VMware Workstation 8.  It is installed on a laptop Lenovo T510 with 8 gigabytes of memory, Intel Virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.  I am running Windows 7 64-bit with all the service packs and hotfixes installed from this announcement on March 13, 2012.  My processor is a Mobile Core i7 620 m.

  I'm trying to load a 64-bit operating system, I'm able to succeed in creating the virtual machine.  However when I try to load the 64-bit operating system, I get the following message is displayed:

  Virtualization host is disabled in the BIOS/Firmware of host.

  With the help of virtualization with MMU software software.

  The above message is incorrect; I have virtualization enabled in BIOS.   I checked several times.

  Also, I get a window appears that displays the following text:

  Software virtualization is incompatible with the long mode on this platform.  Long mode off.  Without the support of the long mode, the virtual machine will not be able to run 64-bit code.  For more details, see: http://vmware.com/info?id=152.

  Please help me with this problem.

  Thank you
