You can run virtual machines created by merger in other operating systems

If I install Windows 7 as a virtual machine using Fusion OSX and store the virtual machine on an external hard drive, it is possible to connect this drive in a computer running Windows or Linux and run the same virtual machine using something like VMWare Player? The idea is that if users have a Mac at home and a PC at work, we welcome with a virtual machine instead of a laptop.

Thank you!

OVF is a small and open format mainly used for the transport of virtual machines. After you deploy it, you will work with a normal vmdk, etc files (as far as I know... but I'm still learning new things here in this community)

Now, performance, which is the other discussion. VMware has proved to be more solid and trusted platform... and for Windows VMS, I saw better than other hypervisors performace. It would make a difference, it will depend on how intense are your processes and the ratio of group you want to reach.

To facilitate the management, security and stability, I highly recommend to use VMware. Performance should be better too, but it's harder to see sometimes. For a scenario of development where the snaoshots are very used, VMware will make a big difference.

Best regards

  • You can hide virtual machine within a program?

    I tried to play Sword of the New World on a virtualized xp platform.  I think I had it finally work because Direct X 9 works well and it didn't crash at startup.  However, it is an online game and safety online and measures anti-piracy captured that he was running on a virtual machine, and he said something to the effect of, "Sorry, you cannot run this program on a virtual machine."  I think that a program should not be biased against virual machines, after all, what have ever to it?  The program is called x-trap BTW.  I don't want to try to work around x-trap by disabling or other because it might compromise my account.  However, I would like to know if I can hide the fact that the game runs in a virtual machine of the game.

    You can create and start only 32-bit virtual machines, right?

    .. .but if I get a VM to another system comes to every time this error:

    This happens only with VMS 64-bit, right?

    Most likely, you have an Intel processor.  VT - x is necessary for the performance of the VMS 64-bit on Intel processors, and it is likely that the VT - x is turned off in your BIOS.  See troubleshooting problems of Intel VT - x.

  • Is it possible to package to create 1 ACE containing 2 operating systems?

    Previously on ACE 1, it was possible to package the two operating systems in 1 package for deployment.

    I have now updated the use of ACE 2 with the administration server.  However I did not understand how (or if it is possible) to package 2 operating systems in a package like I did in ACE 1.

    Is it still possible?

    I searched through communities etc but have not found anything on this and documentation has nothing about it either.

    Treat your virtual machine exactly as you would with a physical, when configuring a system dual boot.  Once you have your virtual machine created and configured to your liking, and then select the options of the ACE.

  • A virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 Server?

    The subject says it all.  Our main office has created a virtual machine on their ESX 4 server running.  They want us to use the same but we are running ESX 3.5.  We have no time to upgrade our server to 4 again.  We get an error when we try to start by saying this is not not compatible because it was created with a version with more features.

    If a virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 server using converter?

    most important:

    change

    virtualHW.version = '7' to '4 '.

    in the vmx file

    then change

    ddb.virtualHWVersion = '7' to '4 '.

    in the vmdk file

    the other changes are optional - for example, you need to remove the lines that start with pciBridge and all the lines making reference to... .pciSlotNumber

    also take care of not to use more then 6 PCIdevices in 4 virtual material - i.e. the sum interface cards scsi controllers + network + video cannot be greater then 6

    If you have a time that is very simple and much much much faster then converter - post an example if you want

    I had a couple of machines to import the configuration of another admin... After you import the virtual machines in LM, can I remove the virtual machines, I imported VC? I now have more need to fight them with VC. LM depends on of these always after import?

    I do not believe, but you can rename the folder and see if something is complaining.  If it isn't, it is probably safe to delete.

  • report for multiple virtual machines created

  • Import the virtual machine created with .exe files

    Hello

    I'm new in the world of the virtual machines, and I'm sorry if I'm going to say something stupid.

    I take a .net class and the teacher has a virtual machine (windows XP with software) ready to pose with 4 .exe files.

    I installed VMfusion but now I have no idea how / if I can import the teacher VM fusion.

    Is this possible? If this is not the case, what can I do else?

    Thank you very much

    Luca

    Find a Windows PC and run the exe files to extract the virtual machine, precompiled.  Just copy the folder of the entire virtual machine on your Mac, and then open/run the virtual machine using the merger.  VMware virtual machines are portable between products and host operating system - there should be no reason to "convert" or "import".

  • Need more disk space to run virtual machines on R710 server with no available drive slots

    Hello

    We have a server R710 with five $2.5 146 each and three 600 GB SCSI disks SCSI.  We have no more slots.

    We want another 2-4 TB of space.   This server is used to run virtual machines to test software applications.  We have need for decent speed, but more important still need a cost-effective solution for running virtual machines.

    The budget would be in the $1000 range give or take.  I might be able to get $3000, but a $10,000 would be too.  We could consider removing disks from 146 GB 5 and replacing them with those larger, but that might not be the first choice.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    What you ask for is really difficult to do within the budget without sacrificing important performance (from what you have right now in performance).

    Any external storage solution (Dell) is out of the question for $3 k (think MD1200/1220).

    The market, 2.5 "drives max out at 1 TB at 7200 RPM, 900 tr/10 k or 300 GB @ 15 k RPM.

    Dell has disks 1 to 7200 RPM 2.5 "company (for PowerEdges) for ~ $440 (see here). These are not the best choice if you want any kind of good performance.

    You might look into upgrading to 900GB 10 k rpm drives. These run $799 each today on the Dell website (see here).

    If you replace one of the 146 both each and let rebuild you could then use the extra space to another virtual disk. This would give about 2800GB.

    If you can't budget 5 of them, according to the current setup of raid, you can watch a backup and restore of the virtual disk of some 146.

    You could:

    -use 2 of the existing 146 in raid 1 for operating system and the extra space

    -use 3 x 900 in raid 5 (which would give a crude 1800 (Go so ~ 1674 usable))

    -Use the 3 600 existing RAID 5 (which would give ~ 1116 GB usable)

  • Virtual MACHINE created on date export csv - get - vm testvm works but says testvm get-vmcreationdate is not found.

    Hello

    I entered the following two functions in my shell powercli

    Two functions I have installed

    function {Get-VMEvents

    < #.

    . Logbook

    Get events for an entity or query all events.

    . Description

    This function returns the events for the entities. It is very similar to

    cmdlet Get-vievent. Please note that get-VMEvent can handle 1 vm at a time.

    You can't send picture of vms in this version of the script.

    . Example of

    Get-VMEvents 0All-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent", "VmClonedEvent".

    He will receive all events of type "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent"

    'VmClonedEvent '.

    . Example of

    Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - type 'VmCreatedEvent '.

    Will be out of the events of creation of virtual machine: "vm1. It's faster than the vms piping is of

    result of Get - vm. There is no need to use get - vm to move names to get-vmevents.

    Yet, it is OK when you do, it will be just a little more slow < span class = "wp-smiley wp-emoji wp-emoji-blink of eye" title = ';') > ;) </span >

    . Example of

    Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - category 'WARNING '.

    Will be out all events for vm: 'vm1. It is is faster than the names of piping of

    cmdlet Get - vm. Category will get-vmevent to search only the defined category

    events.

    . Example of

    Get - vm "vm1 | Get-VMEvents-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmMacAssignedEvent".

    Shows events for vm1 which will be regarding the events of creation,.

    and events when when / what mac address is assigned

    . VM parameter

    This setting is a unique string that represents the name of the vm. He expects this single vm name

    There in the virtual Center. Now in the first version of the script, it will only load a case

    where there is 1 instance of vm selected name. In the future it will load multiple as

    Well.

    . Types of parameters

    If none is specified, it will return all the events. If specified will return

    Only the events with selected types. For example: "VmCreatedEvent."

    "VmDeployedEvent", "VmMacAssignedEvent" "VmClonedEvent", etc...

    . Category of a parameter

    Possible categories are: warning, info, error. Please use this setting if you

    . Description

    This function will return the object with information about the creation time, method, of months,.

    creator of particular virtual machine.

    VMname: SomeVM12

    Createduserid: 10/08/2012 11:48:18

    CreatedMonth: August

    CreationMethod: cloned

    Creator: office\greg

    This function displays NoEvent property in case when your VC do not

    more information on these specific events, or your vm events no longer have

    entries for the subject being created. If your VC data base has more tension date it is no longer possible

    you find this event.

    . Example of

    Get-VMCreationdate - VMnames 'my_vm1', 'My_otherVM '.

    This will return items that contain date information of creating virtual machines with names

    myvm1 and myvm2

    . Example of

    Get-VM-location 'Cluster1 | Get-VMCreationdate

    This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

    Located in Cluster1

    . Example of

    Notice-EEG - viewtype virtualmachine - SearchRoot (get-datacenter "mydc") user.user | Get-VMCreationDate

    This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

    located in the data center "mydc" container If you use this feature in an existing loop where you

    having the cmdlet get-view virtual machines, you can pass them via pipes or as a parameter VMnames.

    . Example of

    $report = get-cluster "cl-01' | Get-VMCreationdate

    $report | Export-csv c:\myreport.csv

    Stores all reported creationtimes object in the array $report variable and export the report to a csv file.

    You can also filter the report before you write in the csv file using select

    $report | Where-Object {$_.} {CreatedMonth - eq "October"} | Select VMName, CreatedMonth

    So that you see only the vms that have been created in October.

    . Example of

    Get-vmcreationdate - VMnames "my_vm1", testvm55

    WARNING: my_vm1 is not found, typo?

    VMname: testvm55

    Createduserid: 05/10/2012 14:24:03

    CreatedMonth: October

    CreationMethod: NewVM

    Creator: home\greg

    In case when you receive virtual machine that is not appropriate in the infrastructure of yor, a warning is displayed.

    You can always store the full text of the report in the $report variable, but it includes all the information on

    dates of creation of the missing vm. A warning always only for your information there is

    probably a typing mistake in the name of the virtual machine.

    . Parameter VMnames

    This parameter must contain objects of virtual machine or strings representing vm

    names. It is possible to supply this function wiith VM objects coming from get - vm or

    get - view.

    I can't understand why he says this?

    What will be the final objective to query the server vcenter set and export a CSV of the creation of each day VM - is their an easier way to do it?

    I was intending to use

    get - vm | Get-VMCreationDate | Export-Csv-path "d:\\reports\vmcreationinventory.csv ".

    But at the present time, each unique virtual machine is indicating "is not found."

    Attached is an example with a virtual machine called gbvls

    Although you may be better communicate with the author of these functions, from what I can tell, it seems to indicate that none of the specified events were found for these virtual machines.

    You can check if there are targeted with the cmdlet Get-VIEvent ordinary events.

    If you can see events, there could be a problem with the Get-VMEvents function.

    $vmName = 'testvm '.

    $tgtEvents = "VmBeingDeployedEvent", "VmRegisteredEvent", "VmClonedEvent", "VmBeingCreatedEvent".

  • You can run Citrix Xendesktop on VMWare Vsphere Hypervisor?

    Hello

    I was wondering if you can run Citrix Xendesktop on VMWare Vsphere Hypervisor free version that does not VCenter.

    And can upgrade you VMWare Vsphere Hypervisor to Vsphere upgrade without losing existing virtual machines running on Vsphere Hypervisor?

  • You can run on a Rio RT Veristand

    I know that you can create a custom on a rio fpga and use it in veristand, but you can run Veristand on RT of a Rio

    So basically I would say, using the EtherCAT CD in Veristand, the use of a RIO in Scan Mode is pretty easy. In my case using the configuration was easy and worked out of the box (after correct entry of controller information, that is). There is really only one exception, which is CAN / LIn communication.

    In the link I posted, there is a brief descripition everything that is supposed to fix the CAN / LIN outcome that tells you to compile an FPGA VI vacuum and use the bitfile resulting. It is the same thing you also have to do when using the XNET LV RT devices. However, this work around did not for me the last time I tried, working together with NOT quite to this being a bug in the current version. I have no need for this to get fixed and developed my app in LabVIEW instead, where this same solution worked perfectly. It's a shame, really, if you know how easy it is the with Veristand restbus simulation is on a pxi system.

    Yes to your question: that is waiting for your audience? Of course, it is easy to implement the RTT in Veristand applications, the exception being CAN / LIN. I would avoid the hassle if possible.

Maybe you are looking for
