How to allocate virtual processor cores?

0
0

Hello,

 

In the virtual machine settings, there is an option to set the number of process cores for the VM. Now assume I have a 4 core proc with HT, so 8 threads, can I set the vm to "have" 6 cores? Is there any actual benefit to doing so, and how are the host's resources actually allocated? Would the VM have effectively 6 threads on the host to work with?

 

Thanks


Problem on modifying resolution to 1920x1080

0
0

Hello everyone,

 

I recently installed VMWare Workstation Player in my personal laptop, the problem is that the 1920x1080 resolution isn't available, after looking for information I installed the VMWare Tools, systemctl is telling me that it works fine, yet there is no way of changing the resolution to 1920x1080.

 

I tried several things using xrandr but it doesn't work at all.

 

I'm new to VMWare, do you know a way to make it works?

$ xrandr

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192

XWAYLAND0 connected

   1280x768      59.87 +

$ uname -r
4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64

# systemctl status vmware-tools

Might be a newbie question but after spending several hours on it I couldn't find a solution :s

VMware Player - When host resumes from standby USB device not functioning in guest

0
0

VMware Player 12.5.1 on Windows 7 64 bit Host

Windows 7 64bit as guest (don't ask..... need to run all 'my' software separate to the work)

 

I have a USB Edimax 7811 USB dongle which I pass through to the guest to allow it network access (as work will not allow it to use the corporate network - it logs on to a 'public' wifi)

 

All works great. However when I resume the laptop (Dell e5470) the USB wifi in the guest is not working. It is listed in 'device manager' but does not get detected in 'Network Status and tasks'.

 

The only way to get it functioning again is to disconnect it from the Virtual Machine and then reconnect it..... then it works fine again. Also physically unplugging it and re-inserting also works.

 

Does anyone have any idea how to stop this from happening?

I also thought of automate running a command line program to disconnect and reconnect the USB device upon resuming the computer...... but none of the versions of VMware seem to support this from the command line.

 

I could leave the USB Wifi network in the host.... but every time I run the Cisco VPN it disables all other network traffic....

In the SECOND image, you can see at the top, I have a panic... I don't know why as this is my first attempt trying to install a VirtualMachine.

I used a youtube tutorial, and followed EVERY step (except the Processors I could only use 2)... Youtube Tutorial Link

 

And in the THIRD image, you can see that is says, "Mac OS version: Not yet set .... WHAT..?

It points to the file inside the folder... file name is: macOS 10.12 Sierra Final.vmdk

So why is it not recognizing it..?

My CPU is an Intel E6550 and it support VT-X virtualization.

 

I ve checked both the BIOS and VM setting that Intel VT-X is enabled.

Host DHCP renewal causes guest network hiccup

0
0

Hi,

 

I'm using Workstation Player 12.5.2 build-4638234 (latest?) on an Ubuntu 16.04 (4.4.0-57-generic), with an Ubuntu 16.04 (same) guest. The wifi network I'm connecting to has a small (5 mins) DHCP lease time. (This setting is out of my control.) As a result, the host renews the DHCP config quite often (2-5 mins), and every time it does, the guest experiences a small network disconnect. This causes, for instance, a web browser running on the guest to often report pages as unavailable. This is very annoying, and it's something that doesn't happen with a browser running on the host. I'm trying to understand if there's a way to avoid such "hiccups". Specifically, why does the guest network adapter have to go down&up for every such event?? Thanks!

 

My detailed network settings are below:

 

- The host uses a wifi connection, managed by NetworkManager, with DHCP.

 

- The VM has 2 virtual network adapters, one NAT and one host-only. Both are set to use fixed IPs. The host-only adapter has no issues. Here is the config for the NAT adapter:

 

# /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf

allow unknown-clients;
default-lease-time 1800;                # default is 30 minutes
max-lease-time 7200;                    # default is 2 hours
subnet 192.168.71.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        range 192.168.71.128 192.168.71.254;
        option broadcast-address 192.168.71.255;
        option domain-name-servers 192.168.71.2;
        option domain-name localdomain;
        default-lease-time 1800;                # default is 30 minutes
        max-lease-time 7200;                    # default is 2 hours
        option netbios-name-servers 192.168.71.2;
        option routers 192.168.71.2;
}
host vmnet8 {
        hardware ethernet 00:50:56:C0:00:08;
        fixed-address 192.168.71.1;
        option domain-name-servers 0.0.0.0;
        option domain-name "";
        option routers 0.0.0.0;
}

 

- In the guest, both adapters are set to use static IPs through NetworkManager:

 

# /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/NAT\ Network

...

[ipv4]
address1=192.168.71.10/24,192.168.71.2
dns=192.168.71.2;
dns-search=
method=manual
...


- Here is what I see in syslog during DHCP renewal, apart from other NM-related messages:

XP VM suddenly slow, Win 7 fine

0
0

I have a number of Windows XP and Windows 7 virtual machines installed on my Win10 host that have worked fine for months.

Today I had two Win 7 machines started and started a Win XP one, the performance on the XP VM was extremely slow or stalled for minutes at a time. The Win 7 machines were still running OK.

I tried closing all other VM's and XP was still slow, tried a XP and host reboot and XP still slow (10 mins to restart XP).

I have also tried another two WinXP VM's and they are also slow.

I moved one of the XP VM's to another host and it goes fine.

 

XP task manager shows 100% cpu usage with ~95% kernel times. Host machine is around 20% usage and still responds OK.

Any suggestions?

VMware is also saying the vmware tools are out of date and no 3D graphics will be avail.

Not sure if related but this morning I also couldn't log in to my host Win10 profile until I tried a windows update (no updates) and then restarted (as suggested on forums).

I might try a different user profile when this XP finishes updating vmware tools (40 mins into it so far, zzzz)

 

Update: Feb 13

Tried on a different profile and same, reinstalled VMware and still the same (XP VM slow, Win7 VM fine).

Looks like the main slow point is disk access, with nothing running I can bring up the start menu pretty quick. Updating the tools took around 1.5 hours.

Tried running an xp vm that a colleague had made with workstation and it was set to use 8 cores and it near froze the host.


Use same license in both windows and linux host.

Hi!

I am thinking to move from VirtualBox to VMWare, but I have a question about the license.

If I buy the Workstation Player, can I use the same license in both Linux and Windows version?

 

I will use it in two different locations:

- When I work for a enterprise client that only allow connect to the network windows machines, so I'm using windows as host and linux as guest.

- When I am working for other startups and small companies that allow to use linux, so I'm using linux as host and windows as guest.

 

Regards.

Windows 10 BSOD CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT VMware Workstation Player 12

Hi. I'm using VMware Workstation Player 12 (12.5.2 build-4638234). Two days ago, I had started getting BSOD, when I run my Ubuntu guest machine. It starts, works about 15 sec - 2 min and then computer freezes and CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT occurs. I tried to reinstall VMWare with and without Enhanced Keyboard Driver, downgrade to the previous version, but nothing helps me. All VMWare services are running and Hyper-V is disabled.

 

I've a fresh install of Windows 10, Two days ago it all worked great. And I'm really necessary to use my VM, but it's impossible to do something within guest system.

 

I really appreciate any help. Please contact me if you experienced this kind of problem. Thanks!

VMware Player 7 vs VMware Workstation 12 Player

0
0

What is the difference between VMware Player 7, which I've been using for close to a year (and earlier versions before that), and VMware Workstation 12 Player which has just been released, both of which are available on the same download page. Is it simply a name change for the latest version? And if so, why isn't it offered as an update from within VMware Player 7?

 

I tried installing v12 over v7 in a VMware Fusion 8 Pro Win 7 Pro VM and the installation simply wouldn't work, essentially grinding to a halt when the v12 Tools were being installed. I eventually tried uninstalling Tools from the v7 guest, then uninstalling v7, and then installing v12. While that worked, the v12 Tools still failed with an ongoing problem with video support and guest screen resolution.

 

Up until now, progression from one version of Player to another has been problem-free. Is the issue with VMware Workstation 12 Player, or is it, perhaps, with Fusion 8 Pro, which seems to have its own Tools installation problems?

VMtools Installation Issue in safe mode windows server 2003

Hi all,

 

We are using VMware Player version 6.0.1 running on windows server 2008 R2

We converted one of the system's symantec backup (windows 2003 OS) to vm using VMware vCenter Standalone Converter V 5.5 (selected VMwae player 6.0.x during conversion)

Host OS : Windows server 2008 R2

Guset OS: Windows Server 2003 R2

 

 

we are facing the following problems.

 

1. when we played Virtual machine, it was very slow and we cant install VMtools, so we entered into safe mode(safe mode system works fastly)

2. In Safemode, when we tried to install we got some DLL error (see the attached picture), log files also attached for your reference.

3. By installing VMtools on guset, will it be fast to work?

 

Following this we tried and didn't worked for us. Anyone have the solution for this problem.

Step 1:  Unregister Windows Installer, and then reregister Windows Installer. To do this, follow these steps:

 

a.       Click Start, All Programs, Accessories and then click Run.

b.      In the Open box, type "msiexec /unreg" (without quotes), and then press Enter.

c.       Click Start, All Programs, Accessories and then click Run.

d.      In the Open box, type "msiexec /regserver" (without quotes), and then press Enter.

 

Step 2: Check to see if the Windows Installer service is running.

 

a.       Click Start, All Programs, Accessories and then click Run.

b.      Double-click on the service named "Windows Installer".

c.       Check the value in the "Startup type:” field. If it's currently set to "Disabled" change it by selecting "Manual" from the drop-down box. Make sure the service is Started.(Not started for us)

Workstation Player not starting a WIN XP virtual machine

Before I trashed my old Windows XP laptop I made a full backup using Norton Ghost. Now I created a virtual machine and restored the backup there. I even restored the MBR, partition info and disk signature.

 

Starting the virtual machine results in a continuous bluescreen-restart cycle. Anyone have an idea what did I do wrong?

Application not working with Windows 7 x64

0

Hello,

 

I recently installed Workstation Player on a Surface Pro 2. I installed Windows XP then Windows 7 x64 virtual machines. I use them to run StudioPrint, a RIP software for printing, and an densitometer device that is no longer supported under Windows 8 or 10.

 

Using the Windows 7 virtual machine, the Studio Print Application was working fine, but I started getting error messages: RPC Server Unavailable, Preview Server Has Stopped Working, Action can't be completed because other program is busy.

 

Now RIP software won't function. It will open but won't preview print images and stops working during middle of print job. (Studio Print uses different applications to sue a print job and to print a job.)

 

I tried reinstalling the StudioPrint app, but the problems start occurring again.

 

Any suggestions about what I should try?

 

Thanks, Drew Harty

Kernel headers for version 3.10.0-514.el7.x8664 were not found (CentOS7 64 bit)

0

I am attempting to install VMWare Player but can't discover what I am missing.  I have gotten through the gcc install, make install, etc but hit the brick wall when I get to the VMWare Kernel module updater.  I googled the problem and did see some references to Debian with a workaround of "Use another supported OS".  Well, CentOS7 is definitely supported but I don't see what the problem is.

 

I did install   kernel-devel, gcc, kernel-3.10.0-514.el7.src.rpm, linux-headers-3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64 (after a dpkg-query -s linux-headers-$(uname -r).  To open a support case with VMWare I guess I have to solve this on my own because I have not gotten far enough to register for the 30 day email complimentary support.

 

Oddly enough I did have this running on a Debian box but switched to CentOS due to some video  driver issues

 

Any ideas?
