VM via Network storage

[mwollong]

Hello,

hope someone can help me.

I would like to install a virtual machine on Linux with Workstation 16 pro via network share on another server (same network). But I always get an error message when I click on "finish". The network shares on the storage are all set up correctly and can be accessed from both Windows and Linux computers. What do I have to do so that Workstation 16pro can create a virtual machine via network share (cifs)? It is possible to creatie a VM locally, but not over the network on a Storage. Workstation creates files on the storage, but does not load the virtual machine. It ends with an error after each try to create a VM over the Networkshare.

regards

your not going to want to do this. it will be way to slow. maybe if you are on 10G and SSD NAS. it does work, i have tried it in past. dont think VMWS was designed to work over tcp for guest vm's. i could be wrong.
