Improvement in Backup Speed related to separate vlan for backup.

sayhi2shariq — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:56:11 GMT

Hi,
We have created a separate vLAN for backup in our infrastructure. So we have configured the same on our physical switch as well as added an extra NIC on each of the physical as well virtual servers to facilitate the backup process on different vLAN.

For understanding, the configuration are like

Each physical esx server is having four NIC.

NIC 1 - vmnic0 - Virtual switch - vswitch0 - VLAN 3
NIC2 - vmnic1 - VLAN8 This one we have created for storage and backup purpose
NIC3 , NIC4 - vmnic2/vmnic3 - Team - Trucking on ( All VLAN accessible ) - Assgin to virtul machine.

Other details :

VLAN 8 Backup 255.255.252.0

Now the question is although Backup Speed has been improved for physical machines significantly but in the case of virtual servers there is no improvement.

I request someone from the community to advice me on the same.

Thin Provisioning not working for storage vmotion

rsaha — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:37:33 GMT

I am working in a storage migration project of VMs.In the environment we have VCS ver 4.0 and ESX 3.5 servers.We need to move all the VMs from symmetric to clarion storage.So i did the storage vmotion(GUI) with thin provisioning as a option to move the VMs during pilot phase.After the migration completed,the VM disk till showing Thick format instead of thin.

Also i have moved the VM from one datastore to another datastore in clarion(same storage box,but different lun) using storage vmotion with same option and its working fine.The VM disk showing Thin.

Can anybody help me why thin provisioning is not working when moving to different storage (symmetric to clarion) box using storage vmotion?

虚拟机如何同宿主机共享串口？？

oliverlee — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:18:23 GMT

大家好啊，

我在用虚拟机的时候，发现虚拟机使用串口的话会把端口一直独占着，这样导致我宿主机的另外一个程序无法使用该串口，
有没有办法能让虚拟机里的程序和宿主机的程序同时使用相同的端口的，请大家支个招，多谢了！！！

Get-Cluster - CPU Usage 95%

harkamal — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:18:20 GMT

Get-Cluster appears to be an expensive query, on the VC, CPU usage goes as high as 95% (for vmxd.exe) when using get-cluster, otherwise it is fine.

Is there any workaround to avoid this, or an equivalent SDK method ?

Get-VM | %{
   Get-Cluster -vm $_.Name
}

How to make vwmare and host operating system use same serial port simultaneously??

oliverlee — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:10:23 GMT

how to share the serial port between vwmare and host operating system??

thank you !!very appreicate!!

Heavy mouse lag when using VMWare player through remote desktop

AndersJo — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:29:55 GMT

Hi everyone!

I have VMWare Player installed on my office computer, which I frequently access from home using remote desktop. The OS is Windows XP on the host, as well as on the VM. Since I updated to Player 3.0, I experience very heavy mouse lag when ever I use the VM. This was never an issue with the previous version.

Any ideas?

Guests on ESXi 4 shutdown

jvigil — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:58:29 GMT

HP DL 380 dual QC's w/12GB RAM

I just did my first install of ESXi 4 today on this brand new server. I then installed a couple 2k8r2 DC's and a 2K8 FS to mess with. Everything went together quite nicely with vSphere.

Then I fired up about half a dozed vm's (on my workstation) that I had build some time ago with Sun's Virtual Box and started joining them to the new DC's (on the ESXi server). My local workstation (with vSphere running) bogged down hard- as to be expected, and a few minutes later when I couldn't join on of the vm's to the domain, I noticed that all of the VM's I had built in ESXi had shutdown! There were plenty of resources available on the stand alone HP.

I shut all the Sun VM's down. Restarted the ESXi VM's and repeated with the same result. When firing up the VM's with Virtual Box on the workstation, vSphere goes into a "not responding" mode and after the workstation cpu's stop being pegged and I go look at ESXi it shows that the VM's are off.

Looking through the Event log on the servers shows no 6008 event!! The "Events" tab in ESXi shows that the VM was shutdown, and the NIC time shows that the VM has booted, in addition to me being able to see the boot up process from the console.

What is going on? If vSphere stops responding, does it shutdown the ESXi VM's? Even if my workstation, running vSphere were to crash, I would expect that the VM's on the ESXi box would continue to run.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you,

High CPU utilization after upgrade to ESX 4 Update 1

shrex — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:24:57 GMT

I have just upgraded 2 hosts (IBM HS21 Blades) from ESX 4 to ESX 4 Update 1 and now I'm experiencing extremely high CPU utilization. Previously the utilization on each host would be around 10% but now after the upgrade it is around 80% on each and now all of the VMs are running very slow as a result.

The only change that has been made is that I downgraded the local hard disk drives from mirrored 500GB 7,200RPM SAS drives to mirrored 73GB 10,000RPM SAS drives and performed a clean install of ESX 4U1 on each host. As the 14 VMs are located on a SAN disk array I thought this would only improve the performance of the hosts.

Has anyone else had a similar issue or a potential fix?

Cheers,
Josh.

SQL server 2005 performance issues

gerasimatos — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:06:52 GMT

We recently imported a physical machines that was running our production databases. The physical machine had dual 4 core Xenon processors, our VMware license only alows us to use a max of 4 Vcpu's and thus I configured it in such a manner. However, the performance is TERRIBLE. I know it has nothing to do with disk I/O as the VM is running on a SAN with a R10 configuration and 10 heads.

I did some research and read that we should look at the CPU ready time, which was VERY high. I lowered the number of Vcpu's to 2 and performance has gotten much better. I dont understand why performance is so bad with 4 Vcpu's and was wondering if there is some setting I am overlooking or that needs to be set.

I am not a DBA, so I have no idea when it comes to configuring SQL and any specific SQL settings. Any ideas what I should look into? Where should I start. HELP!??

VMware not sending out the authorization email for new VMware player downloads

smolaw — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 02:43:03 GMT

I have tried telling VMware to send me the email about 5 times now. I have checked my spam folder, put vmware on the whitelist for my email, etc. Nothing. Can someone please correct this asap?

ONLY FIRST PAGE OF MULTI PAGE DOCUMENT PRINTING

dysartj — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 02:26:54 GMT

Hi,

This is a reprint of an earlier post.

I have XP running in Fusion 2 on a new IMAC with 4GB RAM and MacOS 10.5.8. When I try to print a document from an application in XP, I only get the first page.

It is as if there is a setting to print 1 of
1 somewhere inside the Fusion setup.

Printing is normal on Mac side. XP prints through Mac.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Known good USB over IP Modem

Novensiles — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:28:42 GMT

We have a usb over ip device which is working properly for all devices except the dial-up fax modem. Apparently this is due to the modem being a winmodem requiring software processing. Can someone please post the exact model of a USB external modem known to work in ESXi using USB over IP?

VC shows Nics are down but can't be?

fajarpri — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:27:32 GMT

Hi all,

I've got ESX Server 3i 3.5 installed on IBM HS22 blade on Bladecenter E. The HS22 has 2 broadcom NetXtreeme II BCM5709 NICs. VC says that both NICs are down, but it can't be? Because I'm able to ping and in fact, I'm managing the host from VC, aren't I?

Is there just a GUI issue or I should be worried about it? Any work around?

Thank you.

VMware Server the correct solution for the following scenario?

Kullgoran — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:14:53 GMT

I have an ancient Eopen document server with SQL 2005 running on a Windows 2003 server. Because of the version age of the Docs software, failover servers and backups are very difficult. In order to make it work the backup server has to have the same name and pathing of the primary. Obviously this means it cannot be online while the primary is active. The current server also serves as the role holder for the AD domain.

Money is tight right now. I've been asked to figure out a way for us to have a backup server at a low cost. (the old backup server is dead and out of warranty) Vmware seems like the way to go. Can I image this server (on the fly?) and then mount it as the domain FSMO holder, answering DHCP, DNS and security and have it serve as the Docs server plus SQL if my primary dies? What would be my best choice for a Vmware product?

It's a newbie question. I appreciate your time in answering.

Vmware Player 3 doesn't compile modules on Ubuntu Studio 9.10

Cattus — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:55:20 GMT

There's some bad karma for this system and Ubuntu with this release.

After the installation of the bundle and launching Vmware Player, the modules building fail for vmnet and some other components. I've seen a patch for a previous version of the player on RT Kernels, but I'm yet to find a fix for this one.

This is an Ubuntu Studio 9.10 i386 with the released 2.6.31-9-rt kernel running on an Asus A8Js.

Here's some output from the console when launching vmplayer, I'm attaching also the log and the complete output for further analysis:

What happened to VMWare & the website??

keithwoods — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:48:37 GMT

I used to remember its was easy to browse and navigate VMware
website, even selection a product for download. Unfortunately the amount of cognitive
effort now required to simple download a trial of something like VMWare Workstation,
or even the free player and try get it to do as it states on the web page +"Create: Use VMware Player to create
virtual machines with the latest 32-bit and 64-bit Windows and Linux"+,
is mind boggling.

Even posting this message I had to navigate through another
'user set up process' and select from a drop down with a bazillion entries for
the desired forum.

Sorry but not impressed!!

Problems with upgrade a virtual machine from version 1.0 to 2.0

kaolsen — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:19:07 GMT

I have a old VMware server version 1.p virtual machine which works fine, I have now installed Wmware 2.0 and trying to use my old machine, but with no luck.

accourding to the manual - it should be possiblle in the status area to choose "upgrade machine", but my wmware can not recognise the old machine and there are no upgrade link at all - only a remove link.

In the status field the Virtual Hardware Version only yields : "Unknown virtual machine".

What can I do ?

The Old version is VMware Server 1.0.1 build-29996 and the new version is VMware ServerVersion 2.0.0Build 122956.

Number of users per Security and Connection server for VM View

buit — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:16:53 GMT

I am in the process of designing a solution that requires external (internet) access to a vmview solution that utilizes a security server in the dmz and connection servers on the LAN.

Can anyone give me an indication on the recommended number of users I should plan for per security and connection server?

Many thanks

Processors to run 64 bit Guest OS

rajtpp — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:10:46 GMT

Folks

I am in the market to buy a new PC which supports both EM64T and VT which are the requirements to run 64 bit guests. I guess the BIOS should also have an option to turn on VT and this piece of information is somethings hard to find

I have the link to the processor finder which spits out details if the above is supported but is there a list maintained by VMware as well which has the processors that support 64 BIT guest OS's? My only other option would be to get a good deal on a PC, quickly check up specs and look up the community boards to see if someone else has installed 64 bit guests

http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLBF4

My other question would be - from a VMware perspective, should I be lconsidering any other specs or features of the CPU? I want to make sure I can run ESX, Vmware server, etc in the foreseeable future

Thank you

One VM with poor network performance

ToddFry — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:50:29 GMT

I have two VMs running on ESXi 4. Both VMs have good network performance on their segment and between themselves, but communication by one of them to another network segment is very poor.

This problem existed with VMWare Server 2.0, so I upgraded and converted the machines this weekend to ESXi 4, hardware version 7, but the problem still persists.

I have deleted and recreated the NIC on the affected VM. I have changed its IP. I have double checked all settings and they are identical to the machine that doesn't have a problem.

The VMs are both Server 2003 Standard 32-Bit.

Any ideas on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Compatibility Issue - Windows 7 with WS7 and HP Connection Manager 3

cweber@dtc.ch — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:36:18 GMT

Hi all

I hope someone can help me. I've got the following configuration:

HP 8530w Notebook
HP un2400 builtin Broadband UMTS Modem
Windows 7 Professional x64
VMWare Workstation 7

My problem is that the HP Connection Manager 3 for the HP un2400 is not working anymore after installing VMWare Workstation 7. I'm unable to connect to an UMTS network because the Connection Manager thinks, that the virtual nics for the vmnet1 and vmnet8 are online an connected to the internet.

I tried to disable the virtual networks through the VMWare Network editor. I can disable the adapters but when I apply the settings, the GUI hangs.
I need to uninstall the HP Connection Manager. After that I'm able to disable the adapters.

But in the end I need both for my work, the vmnet1 + 8 adapters on the host and the HP connection manager.

Does anybody have simmilar problems?

Thanks for your help

Kind regards
Chris

Hi,

I use VCB 1.5 with Backupexec 12.5 for Full-VM. It works great, the only problem I have it does not delete the mounted files on the proxy after the backup is done. The snapshot gets deleted. I support another side with almost identical setup and there it works.

VM Fusion 3 runs extremely slow with XP HOME vs VM Fusion 2.06 with XP PRO

LordandMaster — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:39:20 GMT

I am running VM Fusion 2.06 with XP Pro on a 2.4 Ghz with 4MB RAM Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.2. From a restart of the computer, It takes 13 seconds to resume and 6 seconds to save the virtual machine state. This machine has 30 MB of Hard Disc space allocated to VM Fusion and 1 CPU and 1956 MB of Ram.

On a second newer Macbook Pro I am running VM Fusion 3.0 with XP Home on a 2.53 Ghz with 4MB RAM Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.2. From a restart of the computer takes 3 minutes to resume and 13 seconds to save the virtual machine state. Without restarting the computer it takes 21 seconds to resume and 13 seconds to save the virtual machine state. This machine has 40 MB of Hard Disc space allocated to VM Fusion and 1 CPU and 1992 MB of Ram.

In all cases, no other applications are running either on the Mac or the Virtual machine. Why does VM Fusion 3 run so slowly on my newer machine? How do fix this?

In Fusion 2 the sound always worked even if the window is not in the foreground. I don't think that's the case in 3.0. Is there a switch somewhere I am missing?

Disable the question in vCenter at shutdown of a VM??

HenrikElm — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:32:29 GMT

vCenter/ESXi 4.0 U1:

When powering off a VM, there appears a yellow bubble on the VM and it wants to know if I want to power off or take a snapshot. I always want it to just power off, but i DO NOT want to sit there and manually answer all the bubbles.. How is this done?

USB devices will not connect in Guest OSs

bobcal2008 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:20:24 GMT

I'm using Workstation v6.5.3 on SUSE SLED v11.0 and mostly XP Pro Guests.

The problem is my XP Pro guests will not see most USD devices. Thumb drives work but run at USB v1 speed. My Sony camera and TomTom GPS are seen by the guest OS by name and say they will run at slower USB v1 speed, but never become available to the guest OS as a device.

Workstation v6.5.3 does support USB v2 doesn't it?

Thanks for the help in advance.

ESX3i - Create Resource Pool on other server?

hstern03 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:56:25 GMT

I have VC 2.5 and ESX3i in a DRS and HA cluster. Whenever i create a Resource Pool it always pulls data from one server, it never pulls it from the other server in the cluster.

So i have a total of 8gigs and 16ghz but when i try to allocate resources it only shows i have 4 gigs.

Any idea of how to fix this?

Growing LDF on virtual center database

HansdeJongh — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:19:15 GMT

Hello,

Last friday we installed update 1 for vcenter server 4.0
Yesterday we installed vmware view 4.0 in the same enviroment.

Now my LDF file is growing insanly fast.
Up to 5GB in 20 minutes..
Our enviroment is small: 7 hosts 70 vm`s
My database is 7GB.

I have no idea why this is happing.
Is there also a way to start over with a new database without loosing my settings (I dont care about performance data).

Regards

Hans de Jongh

Interested in virtualization, lots of questions.

omnicow — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 11:43:18 GMT

Hello! I've heard about the trend of virtualization for a while from my friend in the IT field, but I've only now begun considering ways that I could implement it to benefit my situation. One of the great features, to my understanding, of virtualization, is a fuller utlization of resources. Computers have always had a difficult time of parsing their jobs to different cores, or different processors, so, if you were to divide up the processors of your computer between different tasks, you could make much more effecient use of your processing power. Well, that's how it seems that it would work in my head. So, here's my first question:

Okay, when shopping for a computer, spending extra on a faster single processor will net greater end result that spending extra on two slower processors. But in this scenario, let's say someone decided to splurge and get the extra speed and extra processors, and ended up with a top of the line 2.93Ghz 8 Core Nehalem. That computer will be faster than a quad core 2.93Ghz, but definitely not faster than two quad core 2.93s running side by side. So, if one was to divide that 8-core computer up into two OS X Server virtual machines, and run fully processor intensive tasks on each of those VMs, would it equal the power of the two separate quad core machines? (minus of course a hopefully reasonable performance drop from the processing used by the original operating system and vmware application) Furthermore, would making four VMs give even greater productivity increases due to further spreading of processing? It makes a lot of sense to me that it would. Am I crazy, or am I just starting to realize the possibilities of virtual machines?

Okay, if that's true, then that opens up a lot of doors. One very powerful computer and four old computers could become four pretty powerful computers with a cumulative processing power much greater than that of the host machine. Expendature on multiple machines could be greatly lowered, and upgrade costs would be consolidated. So, if that works, my next question would be how remote client machines could access these virtual machines so users can give commands to them. The obvious answer would be VNC, and I have been experimenting with this a bit. So far though, I'm unable to find a zero-latency solution. I have a 4Gb fibre network, so I'm not worried about bandwidth saturation. As of yet, no VNC applications that I've found send more than 1 MBps. JollysFastVNC works pretty well, and is the best I've found, but still not whating I'm hoping for in a sitatuion with no bandwidth limitations. I understand that these applications are generally geared toward WAN access, but is there a remote control option suitable for zero-latency LAN situations?

My next concern, assuming that the distribution of processing in VMWare Fusion works the way that is should, is the distribution of other resources. One particular area that I'm curious about, and hope to test soon, is storage. Hard drive speed is commonly a bottleneck in computers, and purchasing RAID cards, enclosures, and fast drives to remedy this is a big expendature, especially if it has to be done for every system in your environment. Well, if all of your computers, or four of your computers, were virtual machines inside of another computer, then the expendature on setting up a fast RAID volume could be much lower, hypothetically. This is the way that I imagine it, please tell me if it works like this:

Your host machine is running it's OS on it's internal drives, but it's using an external SAS RAID card to connect to a much faster array. Let's say assume this RAID array has a read and write speed around 800 MBps. This is the array used to host your virtual machine operating systems. If all four of the virtual machines are being accessed for a lot of hard drive access simultaneously, will each of them have access to 200 MBps, or will the array be bogged down by the multiple requests, causing slower access speeds for all users? Furthermore, if all four virtual machines are sitting idle, using 5% of the drive speed each, and suddenly one gets a command for a lot of hard drive access, will it be able to use the remaining 85%? If so, this makes virtualization a very attractive solution for providing fast hard drive access to multiple computers.

Am I mistaken in thinking that RAM is assigned to a virtual machine instead of being shared the way that a hard drive would be? I've seen my friend set up a virtual machine before, and I remember him choosing an amount of his system RAM to dedicate to that computer. If that's the case, then one would probably need to max out their RAM for the host machine, but it would be worth it to not have to purchase three more equally powerful computers.

The last piece of hardware that I have a question about, and the one that I'm most worried about would be the video card. The video card would have to be shared by all virtual machines, right? I'm unsure if video card processors are multi-core these days, so I don't know if they would benefit in productivity by being fed manually threaded tasks. If they're not, would the video card get bogged down if it was receiving graphic intensive tasks such as phot editing on two or more virtual machines? If so, could installing multiple video cards remedy this? Would these video cards need to be assigned separately to different virtual machines, or are GPUs more effective at threading tasks than mult-core processors?

Alright, I'm sorry for all of the lengthy questions, but I'm very excited by the possibilities created by VMWare. Any replies at all would be very welcome. Thanks a bunch!

How can I delegate the right to remove/reset single VDI clients in a pool to the helpdesk? They shall not have any other View right (create new pools, delete whole pools etc).

Cant find in docs, there is described only how to create new admins?

Error Oxc0000005 when enabling Aero in Win7 guest and performance issues

Franky01 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 11:15:38 GMT

Hi,

I'm working on a Dell latitude E6400 and whenever I try to enable aero on my win 7 VM I get an error Oxc0000005. I have to reboot my host system for it to respond again ( killing processes does not work). I can't acces the VM after this an have to revert back to a snapshot.

Any ideas why this is ? I've seen a few other people with the same problem but no sollution yet...

On top of this I'm have some performance issue's with my VM.

booting takes about 5 minutes before I get a responsive system
It takes about 1 minute to switch from window view to full screen.
When playing flash video's (youtube, joost, etc) it get's really slow and takes minutes to respond to commands. The video stall's but audio continues in the background. The strange thing is when I go with my mouse in the VM toolbar the video play's fine in sync with the audio but the image arround get distorted ...
Opening photo's in windows live viewer of the build in picture viewer just stall's at "loading" and the system gets unresponsive. When clicking the close button it takes minutes to respond but eventually does.

My host system:
Intel C2D P8600 2,4Ghz
4GB ram
Windows XP SP3
Intel GMA 4500MHD

My VM system:
Intel C2D P8600 2,4Ghz
2GB ram
40 GB HD
Windows 7 ultimate 32bit.
Office 2010 professional plus beta

Any suggestions to boost performance ?

Thnx !

Memory Freeze Up

XUSN — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:09:30 GMT

I've seen posts of different variations of the same theme, but they haven't worked for me. I use VM to support XP on my Mac. It recently froze because I was out of memory. I discovered that I have ~ 60Gb of segmented files:

Windows XP Professional - s001.vmdk
Windows XP Professional - s002.vmdk
Etc. up to 034

How do I delete the dupes or other data embedded in these separate files to clean up memory. I know it is VM Fushion related and not underlying XP data. Thanks.

CentOS 5.3 x64 & Server 2.0.x web access instability and guest vm crashes

lamune — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:48:42 GMT

Hi all, I have two machines that are not identical but very similar: Phenom II processor, Gigabyte motherboard, 4-6GB RAM. Both are running CentOS 5.3 x64 and VMWare Server 2.0.1/2. Current kernel installed is 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5.

The web interface has become very unstable. It simply stops communicating at random times, usually when you do some change (change media on a virtual drive, change focus of one VM to another, etc) Consoles will close unexpectedly, hangs forever "loading" info into the various frames

Restarting vmware-mgmt services will usually bring things back. Sometimes it does not (blank page, logged in but "no access to console", starts up with with numerous "the server response included one or more errors" dialog boxes where the detail is "an object was not found")

Most disturbingly, the VM's themselves will sometimes just stop running. The guests are Windows Server 2003/2008 64 bit. One of the machines has a Windows 7 VM which oddly enough despite not being officially supported is the most stable. Running the other guests with the Windows 7 VM shut down doesn't change the behavior either.

These machines were much more stable before a massive yum upgrade of 150 or so packages. I have no idea which one it may have been, but I did boot up in the older kernels to see if there was any change, and there was not. I also tried 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 versions of Server with no change.

My real question isn't so much as "how do I fix this" but more of "where do I look to find out what's wrong"

1- How do I debug the web interface issues? (what are good logs to look at, etc)

2- How do I figure out why a VM suddenly terminates? (logs to look at there, etc)

Thanks!

Can't get Web Interface to come up after Successful install on Fresh Windows 2003 Server

LewisJ — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:45:25 GMT

I have installed and reinstalled VMWare Server 2 on Windows Server 2003 SP2. I cannot get the Web Page to display. I have tried to use the loopback address 127.0.0.1 using the ports as well as the name of the server on https and http. I have looked at the services and it seems the VMWare Authorization Service will not start. I have gone as far as re-installing windows. I have looked at the install log and it seems nothing unusual except for the services that won't start. I have completed this install around 20 times. I have changed the port numbers to other ports like 443 and 80, 8080, and I tried the defaults. I have also checked my host file. My server name resolves fine though. I did a netstat -a and it seems that the server is not listening on these ports. I have also tried disabling my firewall period to see if there was a problem. I am not getting anywhere. Please help.

Unable to access internet after upgrading to 3.0 and Windows 7

terra72 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:08:32 GMT

I've gone through the complete upgrade of VM Fusion (to 3.0) and Windows (from XP to 7) and while it wasn't without issues (mainly memory), I finally got it to work. And it works extremely well, much faster than VMF2/XP, with one important exception: I cannot connect to the internet over my wifi network.

I've tried all the different network settings in VMware Fusion, and it consistently tells me that I am connected (Virtual Machine // Network Adaptors // Settings). However, when I try to actually access the net, it can't find the network and none of the 'troubleshooting' tools help me.

I'm a little frustrated as Windows 7 actually works really well in VMware Fusion 3.0 with the exception noted above.

Any ideas?

Thx

Shared writable mmap detection

devzero — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:26:30 GMT

Please consider adding detection for special filesystem capabilities and avoid crashing of vmware, especially when support for shared writeable mmap is missing.

i have seen TONS of reports for this on the web (blogs etc) and quite some fuse filesystem mention the needed workaround "usenamedfile=false".

this could be handled automatically and vmware wouldn`t need to crash and the user wouldn`t need to pull his hair out to find the reason for that.

also have a look at:

Shared writable mmap detection

devzero — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:18:06 GMT

Hello,

after about 10 years of development of hosted products, it`s hard to believe that recent linux version of vmware player crashes/segfaults when a vmdk is stored on a filesytem without shared writeable mmap support, as it is the case with FUSE based filesystems very often. i`d wonder if workstation 7 is different here....

what is so hard to add a detection routine ?
and why does player crash at all here?

crashing means, that exceptions not being handled properly.

Recent Applications

rianquinn — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:14:23 GMT

Windows 7 Media Center performance?

Update Manager plugin not registering with client

patten_aaron@emc.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:28:02 GMT

I just recently upgraded my environment from ESX 3.5 U4 with vCenter 2.5 U5 to vSphere U1. I upgraded VUM to 4.0 as well during the upgrade. Now, when I connect to vCenter with the VIClient I am unable to get the VUM plugin to become active. It shows up in the list of available plugins and when I click the install link it installs the plugin, goes to 100% and then goes right back to available status, just like it looked before the install. VUM itself seems to be running as it is download updates, but the plugin cannot be registered correctly with the client for some reason.

I have rebuilt the environment from the ground up except for my vCenter database as well as installing the client on other machines and uninstalling VUM and manually deleting the directories on the client. No dice.

If anyone has any ideas of what the logical next step would be, please drop me a line!

Major Unity Problem

Bernd Nowak — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:44:55 GMT

Hi all,
I have a Windows 7 64 Bit host with 8 GB RAM, Intel Quad Q9300, Nvidia 8800 GTS and VMware Workstation 7.0.0 build-203739.
I setup a Windows XP SP3 VM with Vmware Tools installed.
If I choose Unity via View/Unity vmware workstation is minimized and I see the Unity start menu integration and can access the installed programs there. However if I launch a program from there it's not displayed on the host.
If I restore VMWare workstation and exit unity mode the program is opened in the VM. I have uninstalled several times and cleaned the registry, deleted C:\ProgramData VMware directories but no matter what I do unity don't work.
I have found a thread dating a long time back with users having the same problem but no solution. No event log entries when I try to launch a program through unity.
Attached is the UI log. I found only these errors but my search haven't lead me anywhere

VmWare workstation не запускает винду

volgogradoleg — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:38:36 GMT

проблема началась внезапно(раньше вс работало прекрасно)
при попытке запустить винду появлется чёрный экранчик(а в версии 7,0 экранчик с логотипом) иииии...ничего не происходит -_- в списке висят прочессы, но они ничего не делают, при этом окно не закрывается ибо "якобы" машина используется. При создании новой винды ситуация не меняется, винда создаётся, я её запускаю чтобы начать установку дистрибудива, но всё тот же чёрный экран....а что самое страшное что я переустановил основную винду но ситуацию это не исправило....

PtoV Network Traffic

gregtaylor — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:27:43 GMT

Does anyone know the precise way network traffic is generated when you
PtoV a server? There is obviously traffic to the VMWare console as
there must be to the SAN disks. We are seeing excessive traffic on our
data network and PtoV is taking 90 minutes on a relatively small server. The problem is that we have 3 computer rooms (hence the virtualisation project) and I suspect we are generating a lot of network traffic on the backbone. I wonder if there is some way we can use VLANs to try to
speed up the PtoV and still leave the main data network fairly lighly used.

Hi all,

Recently I got my dell laptop1420 with built in windows vista. I installed vmware workstation ACE edition 6.0.4 build-93057. As a guest OS I selected linux redhat(fedora 8). when I try to power on my guest os (Linux) it had given "eth0 device is down". When I try to bridge manually using vmware network editor, I found strange thing.. "automatically choose an available physical network adapter to bridge to VMnet0" option is entirly disabled. even
for addition it is not showing any network adapters.

from last one month I am trying to solve this problem. But I am not able to solve this issue. Please some one kindly provide any suggetion to resolve this issue.

Details about the system
Vmware workstation ACE edition version: 6.0.4 build 93057.
host os: windows vista
guest os: fedora 8
network adapter: Broadcom netlink fast ethernet
intel wireless adapter

Thanks and regards,

VM's at Recovery takes longer times to power on after recovery

Funtoosh — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:06:21 GMT

We had performed DR failover this weekend using SRM1.0.1 /NetAPP ISCIS LUN/41VM/4 ESX host running 3.5 1999xx at the recovery site. Everything came backonline as I have defined but here is my trouble began.

We had 4 ESX host into cluster and I power off all the VM. When I tried to power on it was taking huge time than normal. I then remove all the cluster and tried to power on individual VM on each of the esx host and still it was talking longer time. Not sure nothing changed. Enough resources but this process was talking longer time. Is it normal when you try to power on VM on snapped lun takes longer time?
I found following error message in the vmkernal ,not sure how much it was relevant though

How can I check the status of my upgrade serial number?

bmwdk — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:02:25 GMT

I ordered Fusion 2 (with free upgrade to Fusion 3) from Amazon on October 7, 2009. I mailed in the requied forms to get a Fusion 3 serial number on Oct 31,2009. I have not heard anything back, and when I check the serial number page with the Fusion 2 serial number, I get the following messgae:

The serial number you entered is not yet processed.
Please allow 2 weeks to update our systems if you mailed in your form.
If you have not mailed your upgrade eligibilty form, Please follow the
instructions below.

I has been 3 weeks since I sent in the the forms and my trial serial number has 4 days left, so I am getting desperate. I tried to open a support ticket on the web a week ago, but did not hear anything back, not even a ticket number as promised on the web site.

So back to my original question, does anybody have an idea of how I can find out the status?

is there a way to remove the top tool bar ?

mclavey — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:54:10 GMT

I am evaulating VMware ...very new to it ..... I have not read all the manuals and docks.... I am on a laptop

running win 7 as a guest the resulting window is so small ... with scroll bars on the side and bottom .

Is there a way to remove the top "VMware" tool bar so the window can be large enough to make it usable?

Cannot conect to Win XP VM using Remote Desktop

bmgoldstein — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:28:01 GMT

I cannot connect to the Windows VM running on my Mac from a remote Windows PC using Remote Desktop. All windows settings have been configured to allow remoe desktop sharing of the Windows VM. The remote Windows PC is on the same wireless network in my home as the Mac running the Windows VM. I have tried connecting to the Windows VM with network NAT and Bridge settings but neither work. I have allso tried connecting using the Windows VM computer name and IP address and neither of these worked.

I can however connect to a remote Windows PC on the same wireless network using Remote Desktop on my WIndows VM on my Mac. Why am I able to use remote desktop to connect to other PCs but not to connect to it?

Any other settings I need to check?

Any adivce is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

ESXi 4 locks up every couple days

lowburb — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:19:06 GMT

I am running a whitebox and when I first got it up and running, it was running flawless for weeks. It eventually started locking up and becoming absolutely unresponsive. I can't ping the host IP, I can't log in with VClient, and I can't even get the console to respond to keyboard inputs.

I first thought that I had too many VM's running on it, so I looked at the historical performance graphs in VCenter Server (Eval Version) and it was all low usage of everything (RAM, CPU, Disk). I have upto 5 VM's running (4 2008 64bit and 1 XP 32bit). I started moving the VM's to a VMServer and had it down to 1 VM on the ESXi host. I dont know if I was impatiant but it seemed to run fine for 5+ days so I started moving VM's back to ESXi one by one (using the free converter). It seemed to run fine for a bit, and now it's back to locking up about once every day or two. It had at one time gotten where it was locking up multiple times per day.

My next step was I thought maybe having the two network ports plugged in, something was getting confused as to which interface was used for management without actually doing any additional configuration on the Vswitch. Although I setup the one NIC as the management interface, I figured I try unplugging the second NIC. It's still locking up

I found one other thread about the same type of symptoms, but that persons problems seem to be locking up every couple of hours, at a minimum. I'll go anywehre from 12 hours to 2-3/4 days. My VM's are not resource intensive by any means. I have an AD server with one user, two Exchange servers with one mailbox, and an XP machine doing some media sharing to my network

My hardware is as follows:

Supermicro C2SEA
Xeon X3360
8GB RAM (if someone wants to know specifically what, I can find out)
Intel Pro gigabit PCIx NIC
LSI 3Ware 9690 Raid card
***5 1TB HDD's in raid5 with two volumes configured on that raid to split it in half
***I had to use the update host utility to install the 3ware drivers from their website
***I have all VM's installed on one of the two volumes, the second volume is empty
74GB 10kRPM WD HDD - this is where ESXi is installed, nothing else is on this datastore

I have not done anything much different than default when setting up ESXi or the guests or the network. I have also not done anything for resource allocation because I have not taken the time to learn how to set that up correctly yet. I also have the host attached to an eval version of VCenter Server.

I have looked through the logs and nothing shows up. It doesnt even recognize the fact that it's become unresponsive. The only way to pull it out of this "state" is by doing a hard reset. I also lose all connectivity to the VM guests too.

If anyone has any ideas, maybe I missed something or there is a known issue with one of the pieces of hardware I am using, I'd greatly appreciate any guidance.

Datastores Disappeared!

manfriday — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:06:23 GMT

Yikes.

So, yesterday I upgrade my vcenter server to version 4 update 1.

I log in and it is upgradeing the vpxa agents on my hosts.

two of the hosts work fine. one fails.

I cant seem to get the agent to install, and the host shows up as "disconnected"

connecting it wont work.

All of the VM's are running, so I decide to wait until the weekened (we are a 9-5 shop) to reboot that host.

I reboot the host this morning, and the agent installs fine.

However all of the VM's on that host are "inaccessible"

I look and see that the datastores are all gone.

The LUNS appear OK in the iSCSI software controller.

SO, I go to another host to add the offline VM's to a working box.. I right click the datastore and click 'browse'

I get a message saying something along the lines of "datastore1 \ does not exist"

then all the datastores from THAT host disappear.

Any ideas?

SSD performance with VMWare Workstation over SATA

Ericinboston — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:01:59 GMT

Hi all,

I have been reading rave reviews about the Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2M160G2XXX 2.5" 160GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid state disk (SSD) drive especially regarding its performance over SATA drives.

I use a laptop (Lenovo W500) and currently use 7200 RPM SATA drives. I run VMWare Workstation a lot and am looking for performance improvements that possibly the above SSD will provide.

Here are a few performance questions/topics that hopefully you can help me with:

Typically the best way to have good VMWare performance (other than CPU and RAM) is to be sure to store/run the VM images themselves from another internal, non-USB drive. Meaning, you power up your pc and VMWare Workstation is installed in c:\program files yet your actual VMs are stored in d:\vmfiles or something...this way the 2nd hard drive is free from Windows' normal disk i/o nonsense. Therefore, I can imagine improving drive performance by 1 of 2 options:

1)Install the Intel SSD drive as my 2nd drive...the c drive (where Windows is installed) will still be a SATA 7200 RPM drive.
2)Install the Intel SSD drive as BOTH my drives...therefore, a definite performance gain because I am no longer using traditional non-SSD drives

My big question is: Do you think #1 will give me a performance increase in my daily use of VMWare or will I really need to go with option #2? I'm not a super VMWare expert but I believe all VM disk i/o is done on the drive where the VM files are stored (in my case, the D drive)...and therefore, theoretically #1 would give me a performance increase if I am correct. But, a part of me says that VMWare Workstation's inner workings (not the VM) is utilizing the Windows Page File that is stored on the C drive...so if I do #1, I won't get as much of a performance gain as doing #2.

I hope my question makes sense.

Again, my use case is all around Windows (XP or 7 or 2008 Server) as the host and VMWare Workstation 6 or 7...the W500 laptop currently has 4gig of RAM and will likely go to 8GB soon...and the CPU is a 2.53GHz dual core Intel. The VMs run ok now, but after reading about the Intel SSD being faster than many RAID configurations, I just had to come here and ask around. I am aware of the traditional methods of increasing system and VM performance, but until recently, drive performance was the last frontier to be improved.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Keyspan serial to usb adaptors configuration question.

tdhcsc — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:59:12 GMT

I'm currently using Parallels( older version ) and am thinking of switching to 'Fusion'.

We use our Macintosh on our cruising sailboat as a navigation computer. Most of the navigation programs are PC based.

We are trying to configure two Keyspan serial to usb adaptors for sending and receiving high frequency email over the ham radio. I'm really having trouble configuring both Keyspan adaptors to work at the same time. ( one has to go from the computer to a digital translator (Pactor modem) connected to the hf radio and a second cable goes directly from the computer to the HF radio to control the radio frequency settings. I've been working on getting this to work for about 6 hours and have started to wonder if switching to Fusion will solve the problem. (don't like hitting my head against a wall)

So, the question is,, Is it easy to configure 2 Keyspan serial to usb adaptors to work with Fusion? I have the working on the Macintosh side but setting it up with Parallels and then XP is driving me crazy.

If Fusion is an easier way to go and I could set it up reasonably easily I'll put my money down and switch in a heartbeat.

thanks.

Virtualbox VDI file to Vmware

iceman3 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:17:57 GMT

I'm using Virtualbox 2.1.4
and want to convert a VDI file to load it in Vmware (vmplayer 3.0.0
build-197124 on Vista Home Premium).

I think we can change the vdi-Format to vmdk with a tool provided by virtualbox.

VBoxManage clonehd /vboxdata/old.vdi /vmwaredata/new.vmdk -format VMDK
Its also possible to get the vmdk file by this :

qemu-img.exe convert -O vmdk hdd.vdi hdd.vmdk
But this does not generate the vmx file . How to get that ?

Just for information ,the vmware converter 4.0.1 says that the supported backup images or third-party virtual machines are:

Microsoft VirtualServer 2005
Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 or 2007
Parallels Desktop 2.5, 3.0 or 4.0 for Mac
VMware Consolidated Backup
Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 6.5, 7.0, 8.0
Symantec LiveState Recovery 3/6
Norton Ghost versions from 9 to 14
Acronis True Image Backup
ShadowProtect Desktop, Server, SBS,
IT, etc versions from 2.0 to 3.2

Vmware tools for Windows 2000 and Linux

iceman3 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:15:48 GMT

I'm using Vmware (vmplayer 3.0.0 build-197124 on Vista Home Premium). Where can I download the Vmware tools for Windows 2000 ? vmplayerautomatically downloads from the internet but I want to install it on multiple machine.

is the vdiskmanager-bug fixed in VMserver 2.0.2 ?

continuum — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:55:13 GMT

VMserver 2.0.1 has a bug in vdiskmanager like in Workstation 6.5.0 - 6.5.2

if you try a command like
vmware-vdiskmanager -r blablabla-000001.vmdk -t 0 consolidated.vmdk
it gives an error message "can't work on partial chains"

This command is required to consolidate vmdks with one or more snapshots into a new vmdk.
Is this fixed in VMserver 2.0.2 ?
In Workstation 6.5.3 or 7.0.0 this is already fixed ...

Computers can't logon to domain after rebalancing

kovals — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:37:17 GMT

We are facing some weird problem after rebalancing virtual machines - at the end of the process the machines can't logon to the domain (Windows error message - can't find domain). Manually logon to each machine and re-join it to the domain solves the problem, but, well, you know...

Any idea? We are uisng version 3.5.

Thanks.

Passthrough Abit AirPace PCI-E

tompl — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:06:33 GMT

Hi,
I'm having some problems with my Abit WiFi card. I bought this specially to passthrough this device to a VM. I had to buy a PCI-E card, because i have one device in PCI slot, and i couldnt passthrough second PCI device to other VM.

The situation looks like this:
1. Abit AirPace works fine only when is connected directly (without ESXI server) to OS(checked on Windows XP and Linux).
2. After passthrough this device either to a Windows/Linux VM, i can install it but i cant find any networks (led on that device shines normal). In Abit airpace software in statistics i see that all TX packets are dropped.
I also tried to make a ad-hoc network, and try to connect from my laptop but it doesnt see this network.

Is there any chance to make it working properly?

Regards,
tompl

We've installed vmserver2 onto a windows 2008 enterprise Server R2 with 2x Xeon CPU X5570 and 48 GB RAM.
Installation showed no problem. However, looking in the VMserver interface, only 1 Xeon CPU and only 8 cores are listed!
Does anyone has an idea how to make vmserver find the other xeon cpu?
Thanks!!!!

p.s.: ESXi is not an option for different reasons at our machine...

PSOD after U1 upgrade by updatemanager

Oletho — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 09:16:01 GMT

Update manager install timed out during remediate of the first host that I tried to update.

Now I get a PSOD on the first part of boot sequence, right after scheduler is loaded. The server can boot into troubleshooting mode, but I have not had the time to investigate yet.

Any suggestions before I try another host?

VMWare Server 1 - I deleted the snapshot, now getting error

ShawnG101 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:39:44 GMT

Sorry about posting this VMware Server 1 post here.

I made a huge mistake and I am hoping I would recover the data out of this.
There was space problem due the snapshot and I accidentally hit Shift+Delete (which normally I rarely do) on the snapshot folder.
I realize that there is incremental data in the snapshot folder.
Now, when I start the guest VM, I get the error "Cannot open the disk <.........vmdk> or one of the snapshot disk depends on it.Reason" Failed to lock the file.

The host as well as the guest are Windows Servers. Windows 2003.

Please help if there is a way out of this.

Windows 7 (guest) network adapter does not work (VMPlayer 3 with Fedora12 host) despite *NdisDeviceType fix

MihaiSapteCai — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:55:11 GMT

I found that others had problems with Vista's identification and fixed it via the Registry with *NdisDeviceType. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be sufficient for Windows 7 - it solves the identification problem (stops complaining about "Nework not identified"), but it still does not seem to get an IP address from the VMWare Player.

VMWare Player was configured to use NAT (was unable to bridge). Any ideas are welcomed!

:edit: command line in Windows 7 %ipconfig /renew

fails saying that DHCP server does not answer - it seems that (finally) Windows7 tries to get the IP address, but the VMWare DHCP server does not oblige.

Thanks,

Mihai

VMware SRM 1.0 : failed to configure Array managers in SRM in secure mode.

justyouguess — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:39:41 GMT

In My VMware SRM setup. We are trying to do bidirectional SRM. Like Site I and SIte II will act as Protected and recovery site vice versa in failover. But it seems to me that when I keep my ESX Host which has solution enabler installed & windows SRM host which also has ENMC solution enabler installed ( Symclient). When I use non-secure mode to configure arraymanagers, I am able to add/configure array managers but when I chose secure mode it gives me error that Management system error while configuring array manager ( pls. see attached screenshot for details).

To change secure mode on ESX solution enabler host as well as windows Solution enbaler ( which I eventually installed on SRM host itself), I do as below.

On ESX solution enabler host: /var/symapi/config/options...changing secure mode to nonsecure and vice varsa.

On windows solution enabler host: C:\Program Files\EMC\SYMAPI\config\netcnfg ...changing secure mode to nonsecure and vice varsa.

But when I chose secure mode to configure array manager, it is giving me error as specified in screenshot, with non-secure mode. Array managers get configured.

Now I am confused what is wrong with secure mode in my setup ?

httpd.vmware will not start

Leftie59 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:22:50 GMT

A fresh build of CentOS 5.3 with server 2.0.2 and VMware-mui-1.0.6.

When I start httpd.vmware "service httpd.vmware start" it replays ok

When I check if it is running "service httpd.vmware status" it replays it is not running.

I have checked the /var/log/message and there is no error messages.

Can you give me an idea where to look for any message that may be generated?

If I need to get this running by Monday to avoid a major storm at work.

vmware server2 not working with kernel 2.6.30-gentoo-r8

sk8harddiefast — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:35:35 GMT

VMware very slow!

pdsouto — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:34:06 GMT

I am running a softaware called SAP ECC 6.0 through the VMware Workstation and the softaware is installed in my computer, but it is very lousy.
Even the mouse arrow moves slowly into the VMs window. My notebook is good, I have an intel processor 2.53hz, 4gb RAM, HD (7200 rpm).
Does anybody know how i can speed this softaware up????

My OS is windows 7 (64), and i am running windows server 2003 in the VM.

Thanks!

Activating OS via providing key in wizard vs when using the OS

BladeR1 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:07:18 GMT

Hi,

I was just wondering, when setting up a VM and providing the OS ISO file in the wizard, is there any difference or implication to not providing the serial key at this stage but then activating the OS when it's installed and you're using it?

In my case, this is Windows Server 2008 R2.

Cold Clone: IBM Blade Server - Hangs "Please wait"

Stevester — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:11:54 GMT

Good Evening Everyone,

I have a slight problem. I am trying to cold clone an IBM Blade Server HS20. The screen shows the convertor hanging saying please wait. I injected both VMware LSI driver and Netextreme II Broadcom drives for the NICs. Can anyone tell me what i am missing? I am leaning toward the idea that I may have a wrong LSI driver. I would prefer not to hot clone it.

Thanks
Stevester

Success installing drivers for iSight from a Snow Leopard DVD in Fusion 3.0.0 XP VM?

avanpelt — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:16:54 GMT

Hi, all.

I want to use my built in iSight in my XP SP3 VM for the first time. When I connected the iSight to the VM, I got the message from Fusion that I should install the Boot Camp drivers for the iSight. Fair enough. . .

I popped in my Snow Leopard DVD and immediately two options popped up relating to sharing my CD/DVD drive with a MacBook Air or remotely installing Snow Leopard on a MacBook Air. I've got a MacBook Pro, so I could care less about the MBA.

No problem, I thought. I browsed the Snow Leopard DVD to the "Boot Camp" folder and double-clicked "setup.exe". I get error almost immediately from the Windows Installer which says that the installer encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured.

OK, I thought. . .I'll just use the New Hardware Wizard in XP and when it prompts me to locate the driver, I'll point it to the \Boot Camp\Drivers location on the disc. No go. . .no drivers found.

Has anyone had any success installing the iSight driver off a Snow Leopard DVD since upgrading to Fusion 3.0.0?

Thanks for your help!

Clicks with Intuos 3 pen go to "wrong" window

MacNephDoc — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:49:48 GMT

Environment: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit VM running within Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard) on a 2008 dual Quad Core 2.8 GHz Mac Pro.

I'm running (via Citrix Server over the internet) a Java Machine version of a large health care entity's electronic health record. I use a Wacom Intuos 3 graphics tablet for screen navigation. Sometimes when I click the Intous pen on a clickable region of the Java application, the click is sensed not by the clickable region of the foreground window in the VM, but rather by a window in the background (whatever native Mac application lies in the background window. Bringing the VM to foreground focus again and clicking with the Intuos pen in exactly the same spot works as intended.

I've installed the latest (Oct '09) versions of the Mac and Windows Wacom drivers into the Mac OS and Windows OS (VM) respectively. The drivers are said to be Snow Leopard and Windows 7 compatible, respectively.

I've not tried clicking at the same VM window regions with a USB mouse, but I can do that.

I see that there have been discussions about problems with Wacom tablets and VMWare fusion, but I haven't seen discussions that describe problems such as I'm describing. Are these known issues? Is there anything you'd like me to do to clarify my problems to the VMWare community?

Thanks so much,

Change the name of the Windows Server

In our lab environment we changed the actual server name (windows 2003) from Lab1 to Lab2, and after a reboot we were unable to access the vCenter server using "localhost". Since this was in the lab, we simply reinstalled after playing with the Data Connections and having no success.

If anyone knows of a standard procedure for doing this it wouild be appreaciated if you could share your insight.

The System Very slow

nilsonchagas — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:58:06 GMT

My DELL PowerEdge R410, 4GB RAM, 250GB HD RAID, 2 vms (W2K3) and CentOS.

But very slow.

I saw in inicialization VMWare Authentication Daemon Fail, Is it the problem?

Anybody recomends VMware ESXi??

ifdown broke VMWare

mpg187 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:27:40 GMT

I issued an ifdown command in my Fedora VM and now my Fedora and Ubuntu
VMs can't connect to the internet. (I have two adapters, a hostonly and
a bridged).

How do I get it to work? I restarted both the host and guest OSes and it still doesn't work.

PS: Windows 7 64 Bit host.

Fusion 3- VM needs to be running for Disk Cleanup???

beckettb — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:34:17 GMT

While continuing to diagnose slowness issues for my Windows XP VM that I've been running since Fusion 1.x, I noted that "Disk cleanup is recommended" appeared under the VM's hard disk settings. Per the embedded help:

"Procedure

1. With the virtual machine shut down or powered off..."

So I shutdown the VM and clicked "Clean Up". It would simply say "cleaning up deleted files" and then quickly exit. This did not change the status of "disk cleanup recommended" nor did it seem to be consolidating any of the VM's myriad of VMDK files.

After searching the forums and internet, I stumbled across a single reference where someone noted that their VM had to be turned on (despite this appearing counter-intuitive and the opposite of the stated procedure) for Disk Cleanup to do anything. So I started up the VM and tried again- sure enough it proceeded to present the "Cleaning up deleted files..." dialog with a status bar that actually represented something was going on. (I guess I'll know in a few hours just what...)

Does anyone know? Is this an error in the manual as a hold over from 2.x or is this a bug? I

unable to open file

sjlukacs — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:15:06 GMT

hello one and all,

i have osx snow leopard 10.6.2 and vmware fusion 3.0. i installed win7x64 under my osx "lucas" login on my win7 harddrive on my mac pro. vmware and win7 work fine under my osx login. however,when my girl "brooke" logs into her osx account and tries to open the win7 she gets,

"Unable to open file "/Volumes/Win7/ Windows 7 x64.vmwarevm/Windows 7 x64-000002.vmdk": Insufficient permission to access file."

so i logged in under myself, which i am an osx admin and gave full permission to brooke for the above file and the win7 partitition. however, brooke can not still use the vmware and the same message comes up. please point me in the direction of where to fix this. thank you in advance.
