XP 32-bit, 64-bit host invited, > 4 GB RAM

I am new to virtualization.

I have XP PRO 32-bit and 64-bit.  Currently I use the 32-bit version on my workstation because all my hardware and software plays well with it and everything works fine.

My question is, if I use the 32-bit operating system as the host operating system and the 64-bit as the guest, will be the guest of 64 bit OS recognize all the RAM I installed in the system, or will it recognize only up to 4 GB (the 32-bit limit)?

Should I use the operating system 64-bit as a host for better performance?

absynther - so you say that the 64 XP virtual machine that I only use on my 2 k 3-32 bit host is just my imagination?

also the fact that I assigned 6 GB of RAM in it while my host only has 4 GB and detects only 3.7 GB of them - as imy imagination?

  • Peut a 64 bit 32 bit host invited

    My host operating system is a 64-bit linux distribution.  I want to use VMware Player to create a virtual machine for a victory of 32-bit OS like XPPro32.

    Will this work?  Or do the hosts and guests must be the same bits.

  • invited on a host 32 bits 64 bits allows > 2 GB of RAM

    Hello world

    I was wondering if all the RAM 2 GB > can be accessed by a 64 bit COMMENTS such as Vista or Windows 7 current running on a 32-bit host (Windows XP PRO) when the machine is say 6 or 8 GB of RAM. The host is limited I know to 2 GB with the 32 bit OS, but the CTE of the CPU virtualization allows 64-bit machine comments see more than the 2 GB sees the host.

    The documentation is clear on what is happening here.

    See you soon

    The maximum of the memory of a host that allows the host depends on the amount of memory physical host OS kernel can answer.

    In your specific case, Windows XP is only able to see 4 GB of memory (although in reality, the amount is less due to the configuration of the chipset... I saw nowhere to 3.75 GB 2.75 GB available).

    Linux 32-bit and 32-bit Windows Server editions can go up to 64 GB of RAM to home because drivers use an EAP.  64-bit operating systems have no limits.

    Not a limitation of vmware as such in this case, rather a cross-microsoft architecture upgrades are not supported

    Unfortunately now 1 year later, when I upgraded to 7.1.4 7.1.1 I see the same error message I have seen in this tread:

    VMWARE Workstation 7.1.1 can fill VMNet0 on Windows 7, 64-bit host

    Is still more unfortunately now 'Fix' option on the installation media does not solve the problem.

    Running as the Local Administrator

    Please advice,

    QA4Ever

    You can try to install the service of vmnetbridge with vnetlib64.exe

    Have a look here

    http://sanbarrow.com/network/cmdguide2workstation.html

    Note: the instructions are written for 32-bit windows and may need some adjustments for 64-bit

    what you could try now is: disable UAC, all firewalls and all antivirustools and try again as an administrator to reset to the default values in the virtual network Editor

  • vmnetcfg does not work on Win 7 Pro 64 bit host

    Hi, I am trying to configure my Ubuntu 10.04 guest to deck 1 to my adapter network card on the host computer's wireless and fill one for my host's ethernet card, but I am unable to run vmnetcfg on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit host.

    I downloaded VMware-player - 3.1.2 - 301548.exe the site of vmware yesterday and checked out vmnetcfg.exe of network.cab as described in many places on the web, place it in the VMware Player directory and ran it.  She ran in the background for a few seconds, then closed.  It does not open the window of GUI at all, but the mouse pointer change to the working in background pointer for a few seconds, and vmnetcfg.exe appears in the list of processes in the Windows Task Manager.

    At first I thought that maybe there was a conflict between slightly different versions, so I uninstalled VMware player (maybe v3.1.1) and reinstalled with the new configuration file, that I had just downloaded.  After you have copied vmnetcfg in the VMware Player directory, it still didn't work.  Same symptoms.

    The configuration that I'm trying to achieve is seems to be simple if I can't get vmnetcfg to work.  If anyone has experienced this problem or have any suggestions on how to fix it?

    Thank you

    Jim

    Tip:
    Uninstall VMplayer - download Workstation 7.0.1 instead and use without a license.

    Same functionality as VMplayer but then essential tools like vmnetcfg.exe or vmware-vdiskmanager are installed properly

  • How to install VM Workstation v7.1.1 as pure 64-bit 32-bit HOST HOST

    Hello all-

    Thank you for taking the time to read my post.  I've been using VM Workstation since v3 and still use it today.  My host is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with 4 GB memory and 2 TB of storage.  I also have two video cards.  I run VM Workstation 7.1.1 with no problems but noted that it continues to be installed in the Program Files (x 86) directory my HOST whenever I applied updates, etc..  I always had the impression that this folder, Program Files (x 86) in Windows 7 64-bit is used to install 32-bit applications.  VM Workstation v7.1.1 is supposed to be good for the 32-bit and 64-bit HOSTS.  My Question: How to install VM Workstation v7.1.1 as application HOST 64-bit on my machine?  I think that it is running as a 32-bit application, and I would have run as a 64-bit application.  You can provide any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Documentation of the user don't give not any what resolution to this issue.  It does not address the installation on the HOST computer, and how to specify an installation pure 64 bit.  An additional side note: My GUEST machines all work in 64-bit with no problems of any kind.  I am running Windows 7, Linux RH Enterprise, Centos 5.3 and Fedora 13.  All are in 64-bit mode and ideal.  VM Workstation is an excellent product!

    Again, thank you for taking the time to read and answer my question.

    Workstation for Windows 64 is a hybrid or however you would call it.

    MISTLETOE is a 32-bit application while the engine that actually will the VMs is 64-bit.

    That's why find you it in the default path of the 32-bit application.

    Check with the Task Manager when a virtual machine works - you'll see vmware.exe 32bits or vmplayer.exe. These two give you MISTLETOE.

    And you will see a vmware - vmx.exe 64-bit who is the applicatiojn who is actually going to virtual machines.

    This means that you don't need to change anything. Mission is already accomplished.

  • Upgrading RAM for the installation of 64-bit guest OS on 32-bit host OS

    Hi all

    I am a total newbie to VMWare and I have a curious question.  Currently, I have an Intel Core i7 920 PC running on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - bit with 3 GB of RAM DDR3 triple channel. I just installed VMWare Workstation version 7 on this PC.

    Now, I understand that Win7 32-bit build does a maximum of 3.4 GB RAM logically and not beyond. My intention here is to move the RAM to 9 GB, and then install the version 9.04 of Ubuntu 64-bit on VMWare with 6 GB of RAM reserved for the Ubuntu. My question then became: the guest OS (Ubuntu) would be able to use the 6 GB of RAM that I intend to allocate to it from the host OS (Win7), does that up to 3.4 G memory?

    I want to thank everyone in advance for your help.

    Best regards

    Peter Lee

    Hello Peter,.

    Unfortunately, you will need to have a 64-bit OS host to do what you want. The guest operating system will not be able to use memory that is presented to it through the host. Is there a particular reason that you have installed Windows 7 32 bit instead of 64-bit?

    See you soon

  • Pass the 32-bit client from host 32-bit to 64-bit host

    Hello

    I created a client of Windows 2003 32 bit on Win XP 32 bit host server using vmware workstation 6.0.3

    Now, I need to use this vmware image on a host of Win XP 64 bit or Vista 64-bit. Does anyone know if there could be complications with that?

    Thank you!

    None

    you just need to copy and paste your VM and make sure that you have a sufficient resources for your virtual machine (with Vista, you lose some of them)

  • 64-bit host and guest (migrate) Conversion and construction

    First I'll start with the overview information.

    I started using VMware Server v1 several years ago, running on Windows and Linux Hosts. Some systems started at this level and have climbed into the new versions that have come out over the years. Now, I use VMware ESXi 4, ESXi v3.5 and VM Server 2. I'm moving all VMware Server 2 systems to the ESXi software lineup.

    I recently bought a Dell 2850 Server I thought able to accommodate 64-bit systems in a hosted environment. The model number of the processor is a SL8MA. It does not have a 64-bit virtualization hosting. From what I've read the Dell 2950 is quite capable of accommodating a virtualized 64 bit VM. VMware ESXi v4 fits perfectly in the 2850.

    When I spoke with a representative of the company, I bought the server from there said the main chip used in the Dell Server 2850 was a SL8MA.

    Here is some information from Intel on the details of the cpu.

    There are a few issues I have with the help of VMware Converter v4. When you try to move a 64-bit VM guest (s) of an existing VMware Server 2 running on Fedora Core 6 (noted but doesn't really count) I get a message indicating that the HOST server does not support the 64-bit virtualization. Why can't I not move the system runs a similar system using a processor that only supports EM64T?

    Can I just move the files created using VMware Server 2 hard?

    What VM version is VMware Server 2 on?

    Can I convert files for a Version of VMware ESXi 6 or 7 format hard?

    http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/6257/ddv2vx3n_108d3vmntdz_b.png

    What I don't understand is how the server of VMware hosting a 64-bit operating system is running on a 64-bit EM64T processor but I can't transfer the virtual machine on a similar box using a compatible with VMware Server that works with VMware converter. IE: transfer of VMware Server 2 to VMware ESXi 3.5 or ESXi 4.

    The details of the system are listed below for the system already running a 64-bit host.

    Can I install an operating system 64-bit on a VMware ESX v4?

    Can I install an operating system 64-bit on a VMware Server 2? Yes, it seems so since I have one running, I can just move it to another server EM64T.

    To transfer 64-bit HOST system must run 64-bit Support of VT.

    Why should I use a 64-bit system on another processor EM64T?...

    You must both VT and EM64T in order to run the 64-bit clients.  See article 1901.

    I use 32-bit Microsoft Windows Vista Business SP2 as a host Workstation 6.5.

    The material is Intel T9550 with 8 Gio of RAM.  The 32-bit operating system will not use 4 Gio of RAM.

    With Workstation 6.5, a guest operating system will be able to use memory outside the host of the limitation of the OS 4 GiB?

    No, unfortunately it turns out that it is impossible. You will not be able to see more than the 4 GB, unless your host operating system is able to see the memory using a PAE switch, or by using a 64-bit host OS. As Vista does not support the PAE switch, your guest operating system will be limited to the 4 GB as the host OS.

    If the host operating system is 32-bit, 64-bit guest OS can be created?

    Yes it is certainly possible. But you must make sure you enable VT-extensions. See also the excellent article by jmattson on troubleshooting problems of Intel VT - x

  • Category {' * hidden * "} works for plug-in on 32-bit hosts but fails on 64-bit host - Alternative?

    I'm experimenting with a simple plugin that is supposed to run one specific task in combination with a panel of PS.

    So the Group interface is written in Flex that calls my plug-ins via jsx (PS scripting) and transfers some parameters that can be set on the Panel for the plug-in via its scripting abilities - good. The real filter PS plug-ins used in it is executable in this way and I would so it appears in the menu filters at all.

    I tried the solution proposed in this thread: http://forums.Adobe.com/message/3854157#3854157

    To summarize I specified "category {' * hidden *"} "in the plug-in file Rémi and was then still be able to call the plug-in through jsx using its functions plugInUniqueID and jsx such as stringIDToTypeID() and executeAction(). In any case, that has worked well in 32 bit PS on the PC (I tried CS4 & CS5). I have it has not built on the Mac and its various platforms still because it failed on the PC in 64 bit PS (I tried still CS4 and CS5).

    On 64-bit hosts problem seems to be that as soon as I specify category {' * hidden * "} the plug-in not loaded more. If I makes it visible in the menu it works fine, but as soon as I do so hidden are not accessible by jsx more debugger says that no symbols have been loaded to my source files when you try to set break points.

    So obviously the category {' * hidden * "} solution does not work on all platforms.

    Is there an alternative approach to this?

    Thanks again. I really don't understand why this would be a requirement for x 64 on the PC but making the plug-in hidden filter in the PIPL solved the problem. When persistent that it works when being hidden by x 64 on the PC if it works if not being hidden...

    This is the relevant section of the PIPL should someone at - it never having the same problem. :

    #else / / we are under Windows

    #if defined (_WIN64)

    CodeWin64X86 {'PluginMain'},

    Persistent (),

    #else

    CodeWin32X86 {'PluginMain'},

  • Migration from 32-bit to 64-bit host host 32-bit clients

    OK, so this question was asked to me.   We received a new chassis for a blade/SAN solution for free.   The new chassis will be our recovery site and will support 64-bit of the blades (unlike our last production version).    We currently have 32-bit hosts in production with all the 32-bit guests and we intend to put 64-bit blades in the new chassis if we can migrate it 32-bit guests.   What I read 32-bit guests are supported on a 64-bit host but can migrate us host 32-bit to 64-bit host?

    It is still too early, so if it's coherent hike or you need any clarification please let me know.

    What I read 32-bit guests are supported on a 64-bit host but can migrate us host 32-bit to 64-bit host?

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/markrussinovich/archive/2008/07/21/3092070.aspx :

    While 4 GB is the limit for 32-bit client SKUS, the effective limit is actually lower and depends on the chipset of the system and the devices connected. The reason is that the physical address plan includes not only the RAM but memory of the camera as well, and x 86 and x 64 memory card all the unit below the limit to address 4 GB to stay compatible with 32-bit operating systems that do not know how to handle addresses above 4 GB. If a system has 4 GB of RAM and devices, such as video, audio and network cards that implement windows in their memory of the apparatus which amount to 500 MB, 500 MB of the 4 GB of RAM will reside above the limit to address 4 GB, as shown below:

    The result is that, if you have a system with 3 GB or more of memory and you use a 32-bit Windows client, you may not be to the benefit of all of the RAM.  On Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista RTM, you can see how many RAM Windows facing it in the Properties dialog box system, page Manager's performance of tasks and, on Windows XP and Windows Vista (including SP1), in Msinfo32 and Winver utilities. On Windows Vista SP1, some of these places changed RAM installed, rather than RAM available, such as documented in this Knowledge Base article .
