Win764() (64) on host WS9 will operate the free guest (64 | 32) Win8?

I am running Workstation8 presntly (64) on my Win764() host. (I invited mainly linux distributions, which so far work fine for my needs).  I am interested in the guest the latest / free Win8 (whatever it's called now).  I have the impression that the product Workstation8 is missing some necessary drivers (and/or workaround to manage the schema lock of Microsoft new Win8 anti-linux BIOS/UEFI) to do... but Workstation9 provides these drivers and alternatives (and other new goodies too).  I'm not sure, though, according to what I read on whether or not it is possible Win8 comments under a multitude of Win7.  If I invested the cost of upgrade $ 119 for Workstation9... This will buy me the immediate possibility of comments at the latest / free Win8 under my Win7/64 present host?

Hi goodbot,

You seem to have been misinformed about Secure Boot:

Secure boot does not specifically prevent systems different operating coexist on the same HD.  With Secure Boot UEFI firmware, however, will block 'unknown' operating systems and OS installers (and malware!) of current initialization, unless the user takes additional steps in the firmware either disable Secure Boot or add the 'unknown' for the firmware OS that it becomes known and therefore updated.  If this OS is installed on the same disk as another operating system is irrelevant - the decision is simply one of something that has "approved" loading against refusing to load something that has "not reliable."

64-bit Windows 8 flavors are capable of using Secure Boot when it is started in UEFI mode on a platform with a UEFI firmware capable of Secure Boot and Secure Boot enabled in the firmware.  When you install in a virtual machine, your host (BIOS/UEFI) firmware is not relevant - all that matters is the firmware of the virtual machine.  When you install any version of Windows 8 on VMware Workstation, we use the BIOS firmware in the virtual machine (not the UEFI firmware), so Secure Boot do not enter the picture: it is totally inactive, and so we did not have (or need) no "work around" for her.

There is a lot of misinformation on the Internet around Secure Boot.  There seems to be a lot of reasons to dislike it and very few reasons to like it (unless you're Microsoft, I guess...), but it shouldn't be the scapegoat here.

As long as you use a recent version of the workstation and a recent version of Windows 8 and all the relevant requirements of system (CPU, RAM,...), I think that you should have no difficulty getting a Windows 8 VM's.  We made a few changes compatibility for Windows 8 comments support, but nothing to do with Secure Boot.

See you soon,.

  • Will be vSPhere Hypervisor key will operate the custom provider OEM ISO ESXi image?

    Hello

    I tried to download the vSphere Hypervisor 5.5 and 6.0 towers as ISOs and start on my system, or afficheraient hard drives in the systems.

    Systems are servers HP DL380 Gen9 I know are on the HCL.

    Is it permissible to use a custom provider OEM image with key vSphere Hypervisor (free)?  Or is it not OK to do it legally?

    In other words - should I take the vSphere Hypervisor ISO and customize it by injecting appropriate inside drivers so it does not work to use the free key?

  • Target ball and ball over Active on the host with a lot of free memory

    Just at the moment where I think I understand the management of the ESX memory, something confuses me once again.  My understanding of the balloon pilot, is that when an ESX host has need of more memory to be allocated to other virtual machines as the VMKernel steals memory back from the virtual computer running.  However, I have a virtual machine which seems to indicate that the target of ball is well above what is memory 'Active', and the host ESX virtual machine running on a 6 GB of unused memory.  I think that this might have led this virtual machine to go into a State of forgetfulness once already, because I found it does not, only to discover that she used only 30% of CPU and 2 GB Active out of 6 GB of memory allocated, but making a ton of swap memory.  What gives?

    Why in the world of the balloon pilot would target memory on a VM running busy, when there is a lot of free memory available on the host, and why would be a beginning of comments Exchange when it uses only a fraction of the memory allocated to it and the host is sitting on the free memory pletty?  None of my other virtual machines have memory usage charts that look like this.

    This can happen even in the absence of resource pools. Check your settings of VM, "resources" tab and make sure that the unlimited checkbox that she checked on the memory and CPU...

    You need to speak with the seller who sold you the product.  They are the ones who will get the free updates, if warranted.  It is not made by Microsoft unless it was purchased directly from Microsoft.  If this is the case, after back and I know what the process is doing for you.

  • I'm about to change web hosting service, but not the email addresses - how to back up my archived emails?

    I am changing web hosting services but will keep the areas and associated e-mail addresses. I don't want to lose the mails I saved in folders. They will remain available after I have change the host site or I have to save elsewhere? If I need to save, what will do?

    It is IMAP

    With IMAP, all mail is handled on the server. So, to keep all your mail, you'll need to save all messages in your account "local folders".

    First of all to replicate the folder structure on the server in your 'local folders '. You will need create these folders manually.

    Select all messages in a folder on the server (press Ctrl-a). Right-click the selected messages - copy - choose the corresponding destination folder

    I would like to start with a single message to test the procedure. If you have a big no. messages, in pieces, do not copy thousands of messages at once. After each copy action, verify that messages have in fact been copied on.

    Repeat the procedure for every folder on the server.

    Once your new account (IMAP) works, you can download the messages to the new server.

  • SIT error 14104, dll runs on the host, but not on the target

    Hello

    I have problems of deployment dll (compiled in 2007 with Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003) Simulink in LabVIEW (2009 SP1). My target system is a desktop PC with LabVIEW Real-time 9.0 installed.

    I created a simple Simulink model which mulitplies an entry with a Gain and returns the result. I compiled using the nidll.tlc as a target file system.

    Then, I created a LabVIEW RT application that uses this DLL. I created exactly the same application as the host VI and VI target. On the host VI everything works fine. On the target VI, I get error SIT 14104.

    What I did to solve this problem? I followed the steps on http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/C7FF960E0A6C219A8625729600104615 . I have manually deployed the dll on the target computer. I used the suggested compiler. There is a lot of memory on the computer (RAM and HDD) target. And I'm not using a CRio system.

    Does anyone have an idea how to fix this error? I will attach the sample project labview and the MDL and DLL to this post. Don't forget to adapt the DLL-path if you test the program.

    Kind regards

    Thomas

    Well I found a solution.

    I had to deploy the DLL manually on the target, but not in ftp://IP_Address/ni-rt/system/ as the link above is said but rather in ftp://IP_Address/ .

    Problem solved.

    Kind regards

  • You can create a view that filters (ESX host) Linux machines on the view of the Infrastructure?

    Hello

    We have recently implemented Foglight and VMware plugin. As part of the VMware plugin, Foglight pulls in all the Linux VM machines including the ESX host. Our team of Linux only manages the running redhat Linux hosts. They fail the ESX VM guest. That said, is there a way to create a view that shows only the hosts running redhat Linux?

    For example the view of rail infrastructure below contains 88 Linux machines, but nearly half of them are ESX hosts for our Linux team would not see all these. Is it possible to filter these?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Tony

    The easiest way would be to create a personalized, pair it with Infrastructure and then create a dynamic management component.  This will help create you a rule for "All hosts" where you can find just the hosts that are not of the ESX host and run Linux.

    The query would be:

    detail.topologyTypeName! = "VMWESXServer" & os.longName like «% Linux»

    BTW, my English is not very good

    Well, take a peek in the Windows Task Manager to see how much memory is required/used. If an operating system requires more memory available, it will start to swap out the disk, which will introduce a huge performance impact. If the answer to your question is probably yes.
