• VMWare Workstation does not stop is a virtual completely on Surface Pro 3 machine

  Hello

  I use VMWare Workstation 10.0.3 on my 3 Surface Pro I7 with 8 GB of memory. Most of the time when I suspend my virtual machine image he doesn't stop the virtual machine completely. The result is that I cannot supply or not more and even can't leave VMWare Workstation, because it says that the virtual machine is always busy. When I force to restart my computer and start VMWare Workstation virtual machine once again watch as suspended. What is good.

  This happens only on my Surface Pro 3

  Can anyone help?

  Best regards

• VMWare Workstation 8 able to handle 5 virtual computers desktop running XP?

  Hi comrades of comm.,

  I am involved in virtualization investment locations. In our branches, we have normally 5 computers running XP. PC requirements are 4 GB of RAM, 250 GB HD, Dual core processor. Normally we use the five T3500s of Dell workstations.

  I am now testing the virtual environment with a single server and workstation 5, to access the virtual machines on the server via RDP. On the server, I installed Windows 7, with 24 GB and 1 TB of hard drive. The server is a Dell T3500. I use to manage VMWare Workstation 8 virtual machines. I have converted a machine via VMWare vCenter Converter. I'm running 3-2 VMs, devoting 1 vCPU and 4 GB of RAM by each virtual computer.

  Point is that, if there is 1 single VM running performance is satisfactory. But the startup is very slow. If I start the second VM performance begins already down and with 3 machines, they are slow terrbily.

  Why do you think that what is happening? Where can I improve the tuning? Am I wrong in using VMWare Workstation?

  It's the fact that I use the T3500 as a server, a problem? If so, what machine suggest me you like server and with what criteria?

  The conversion is also important?

  Do you use still 2 virtual processors per virtual machine?
  so, you want to run 10 vCPUs on a host that has 2 CPus himself.

  You can run a simple test with CPU by VM?

• Core upgraded to 4.0 on Centos 7 VMWare Workstation 11 won't build the virtual network device

  As shown in the topic, I have manually compiled kernel 4.0 for my installation of CentOS 7. After the installation of the kernel (in rpm mode, followed the instructions here: How to compile a Kernel - The Way CentOS ) installed all 3 rpm, kernel, kernel-headers and kernel-devel and then tried to start my installation of workstation with it leads to having to re - build the components (as usual)

  It does not, when it came to the compilation of the network management module. See attached log file that it generated.

  I also tried to uninstall, downloaded VMware-Workstation-Full - 11.1.0 - 2496824.x86_64.bundle and re-installed with the same result.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  aaand..., I fixed my only problem!

• VMware Workstation 8.0.2 and 4.0.2 Open Source player

  I was looking around the area of download for vmware player and I see that there are downloads for Mware Workstation 8.0.2 and 4.0.2 Open Source player. This means that we can build preinstalled vmware and use it for free?

  Thank you.

  No, but you can use different components in the available packages which are Open Source however the necessary basic elements for virtualization are not Open Source or a part of the Open Source packages available.  Suggest you read VMware Workstation 8.0.2 and player 4.0.2 Open Source License for more details.

• Second data store for the shared virtual machine

  IM thinking about to migrate my existing VMWare Server 2.x to VMWare Workstation 8.

  My server is a machine selfbuild W2k8 with Core i7, 24 GB of ram, an SSD for the OS and two 500 GB HDDs. Due to performance issues an VM is placed on a separate HARD disk. I want to keep the configuration like this.

  At the time where I'm using a trial version of WS8 and may not know how to set up a second datastore for shared virtual machines on a second hard drive. Is this possible at all? Or y at - it an alternative to solve this problem? Creation of a RAID0, isn't my favorite option.

  Thanks for the reply.

  It is not implemented by using a second data store for shared virtual computers.

  Workaround solution:
  Suppose you have the original data store C:\vms and a second D:\vms

  then create a junction for each directory in D:\vms like that

  C:\vms\VM1 D:\vms\VM1 junction.exe

  C:\vms\VM2 D:\vms\VM2 junction.exe
  ....

  then the vmx files from doubleclick in C:\vms\VM1 and configure the virtual machine to share.

  On Windows 7, use mklink.exe instead
  On Linux hosts use ln

• How to access files in a folder to store data for a virtual machine?

  Hi all

  I'm relatively new to virtualization in general (I'm learning!) and have a question.  I have a host server of VMware ESXi 5.0 set in place with several VMs configured in it.  I also have various data stores configured, usually a virtual computer by the data store.  Most of the virtual machines are Windows, but one I have problems with is a machine virtual 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.  I currently manage and administer the server remotely over a slow connection.  Anticipate, the last time I was on the same network as the host server, I downloaded to a folder on the same database as the VM RHEL, about 5 GB of files that I knew that I would need to access in the VM RHEL install different software.  Now, I'm trying to "expose" these files very to the RHEL VM so I can install the software.  How would I do that?

  From what I've gathered reading other posts here, I could create an ISO that contains the files and then upload that to the server on the host to be mounted into the CD player, but my connection is so slow that would take a very long time.  I also believe that I could create a network share on my Windows 7 computer and allow the virtual machine to access the files in this way - but once again, my connection is the problem (not to mention that I do not have a GUI installed on RHEL and I'm not a Linux expert).

  None of the files I need are ISOs, unfortunately, so I can not directly mount the CD-ROM drive in the virtual computer from the data store.  If I have access to a shell on the host server, it does not recognize the command vmware-mount so I can't access the virtual disk for RHEL to just copy the files into it.  Also, it does not recognize the mkisofs command (of which i google trying to figure out if I could create the ISO on the host itself).

  So, basically, I'm looking for a way to access files in a virtual machine that are in the same bank data, as its virtual disk.  If that is possible to copy these files in virtual drive somehow, or mount a CD-ROM drive or hard drive that exposes these files on the virtual computer, I don't have a preference...  I'm just trying to not have to re - download the files in a different format (or using a different method) since they are already on the host server.

  Any suggestions would be very appreciated that - thank you.

  Welcome to the community,

  one solution might be to enable SSH on the host computer and then use scp to access or download files from the host/datastore (within the Linux VM).

• VMware 6.5.5 cannot import the virtual machine that uses 2GB "disks of split.

  Hello

  I'm using VMware Workstation 6.5.5 under Win XP. I tried to import a virtual machine that was created by using the option 'Split' virtual disks into files of 2 GB. The import fails and presents a pop-up: ' Conversion Assistant/cannot determine the guest operating system. The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, there are more files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.

  Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?

  Thank you.

  -Phil Anzel

  FYI... VMware Workstation peut import a Virtual Machine that uses twoGbMaxExtentSparse discs.

  The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, rather there are files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.

  Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?

  The problem is that you're missing the "disk DescriptorFile", "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" and which is why it's a failure and not a limitation of the Conversion utility.

  Also if you actually had a Virtual Machine created in VMware Workstation 5.1 you can simply run directly under VMware Workstation 6.5.5 without having to run the import command.

  Anyway, if you have a backup that you can recover the file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" then you should be fine and if you have not then a new can be created.  If you can archive (compress) files vmware*.log (usually 4 of them) in a single zip file archive and tied him to a post in response, then one of us will create a new file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk", based on the information contained in files vmware.log for you, if you don't know how to do it yourself.

• REALLY stupid question about virtual machines and disks of cancellations.

  I'm a bit hesitant to ask this question because it might make me look stupid, but...

  When I'm done using Virtual PC and a virtual machine running Windows XP Pro with Vista 64 Home Premium because the host os, often I did not any significant changes to the hard disk of the virtual machine.

  What I save gets saved to a network share on my server for files and printing from Win98 and saved on a flash drive.

  Assuming that I do no configuration changes or anything else I want to keep, is there a reason barely stopping properly when I 'cancellations discs' enabled?

  Any reason, I can not save time by pressing the 'X' button and choose 'disable and remove changes '?

  I am aware of patches, but took me to inform me of the patches, and I can get patches when it's convenient for me and I always validate changes when I install the patches. I'm not using it for anything other than my classes of the school of the evening for the time being, so it is not much of a value of protection on the virtual machine, and I used to write papers on the host operating system. I just use the virtual machine to play with the admin tools in an environment where I can easily fix it a massive screw-up without spending hours to reinstall Windows.

  Hey SlickRCBD,.

  Not a stupid question at all! :)

  It's very well hit the X when you have activated the disks of cancellations. And corruption or problems with the active virtual machine will be resolved when using the drive to cancel it.

• Workstation - Bat file to run several Virtual Machines

  I am currently using the following .bat file to launch several virtual machines:

  Start "" /b "C:\Users\Abe\Desktop\Virtual machine 1.lnk".

  Start "" /b "C:\Users\Abe\Desktop\Virtual machine 2.lnk".

  My problem is that start each machine's own instance of VMware.  Is it possible to build a script (.bat or other) who will start the virtual machines in a single instance of VMware Workstation.

  Regards and thanks in advance

  k

  You can create a file of commands like this:

  vmrun start "C:\VM\VM1.vmx".

  vmrun start "C:\VM\VM21.vmx".

  This would open up two virtual machines in the same GUI - at least that's the way it works on my Windows 7 host with 9 Workstation.

  Hello

  You can try something like this...

  In vSphere client, choose display of virtual machines and templates.

  From there create a folder unless you already have one and move the virtual machines in question in this case. (you can also select a host, it must not be a folder).

  In the upper pane, select the virtual machines when you have selected the folder, or the host. You can select more than one virtual machine and right-click-> comments-> installation/upgrade to update VMware tools.

  I hope this helps.

• VMWare Fusion 6 upgrade does not load virtual machines

  I downloaded the demo for VMWare 6, and when I run it, it shows the two virtual machines, I have version 5.0.3, but they say just 'loading... '. "next to them. I never started.

  I have Debian 6 and haiku. They work very well in Fusion 5.0.3. I close them before trying to run 6.

  When I tried to make a new virtual machine, or to open, I get this error message (see image). Note that I have installed Cubase, and it should use the file extension .vmx for some of its files.

  I can't enforce existing virtual machines or create new ones. 5.0.3 continues to operate correctly.

  I have reproduced a problem with Launch Services, leaving the .vmx extension registered for Cubase and not save it properly for the merger. This is a problem in some Apple document standard loading of code that uses the Fusion. I will continue research on the differences between the Fusion 5 and 6 to see how to solve this problem. In the meantime, could you please try the following workaround?

  1 unregister Cubase of launch Services:

  /System/Library/frameworks/CoreServices.framework/frameworks/LaunchServices.Framework/support/lsregister u ' Cubase 7.app/Applications / ".

  2. run merge and make sure that it is able to create and power on virtual machines.

  3 re - record Cubase with Launch Services:

  /System/Library/frameworks/CoreServices.framework/frameworks/LaunchServices.Framework/support/lsregister ' / applications/Cubase 7.app.

  If you have another version of Cubase, or it is installed in a different location, you may need to change the path of the application accordingly.

• store with grayed out virtual machine

  Hi all

  I want to configure RDM for a virtual machine that has been powered down. When I chose one to add a ROW to a READ, the "Store with virtual machine" option is grayed out, only 'Specifies the data store' is available. Of what I had experienced, by specifying a data store (only the local data store unavailable to its host), if the store RDM configration in Local Storage what is happn to MY HA.

  Thank you

  Scheller.

  Hi Scheller,

  Its seems you have configured your VMS with NFS data warehouses, as the RDM are only available for VMFS volumes, if you use the local then HA data store will not work, you must present one of the volumes in all the host ESX VMFS and specify a data at the RDM LUN configuration store.

  Thank you
