How to tile multiple VM's within the console window? posted: Nov 5, 2009 5:57 AM
Hi, how can I tile multiple VM's within the console window as vmware has show on the site? See image below
I apologize for the confusion. The goal of the image was an attemp to show that Workstation can run lots of guest operating systems in workstation (title of that section is "Run more operating systems"). That image was created with 5 Workstation Windows (File->New Windows) with the tool bars,tabs and side bars turned off for the 4 windows in the middle with the fith behind opened full screen behind it (big/high res moniitor
. I wanted to show a stack of OSes running. Obviously we laid them out too neatly. Btw, if you look closely you will see the workstation menu bars. In my rush to get ready for the Workstation 7 launch, I didn't stop and think it would be viewed as a feature. I am going to take a shot at redoing it so we can avoid confusion while showing off Workstation's ability to run many different OS. Please send me any ideas you have. In addition, I am working with the web team to add the ability to Zoom into the screen shots for better visibility.
--Absolutely. I tried responding on Sunday actually, and my post got caught up in the forum-maintenance.
--Think of it from a monitoring standpoint. If you're working with several VMs, it can be useful to Tile the virtual consoles within the Workstation window, and have Live updated thumbnail-screens of what is currently going on in the VMs - should be user-tunable, anywhere from .5 second, 1 min, 2 min, to 60 minutes or whatever. Then if you see $INTERESTING-THING happen in the VM, or just need to work with it -- click on thumbnail, zoom in and expand the VM so you can interact with it.
