When I try to manage real monitors from Ubuntu, in the Display section, vmware workstation only allows to see one only monitor which is the sum of the resolutions of the two monitors (for example 2048 pixels instead of two separate monitors of 1024 each). I am developing an application which needs to have full control over the real monitors. Is that possible?

HI: Am unable to install VMtools on Ubuntu 10.04 as guest with Vista as host. If Ubuntu is installed using 'easy install', VM tools is supposed to install automatically. However, then the (USB)keyboard is not recognised when logging on. So that does not work. If Ubuntu is installed manually after creating an Unbuntu VM, have found it impossible to install VMtools in spite of following the instructions. Have mounted the 'dvd' when logged in as a guest and uncompressed it. However the installer file vmware-install.pl appears not to want to run. Help appreciated.
VMware Server or ESXi could be used for that.

Which VMware or other VM product can I use at home for free? Can VMware Server be used? I want to be able to set up a DC and some workstations on a couple of physical machines I have at home to join a test domain, etc but not sure if there's a free product I can use to set all of that up, thank you.

Hi, I am trying to install ESX 4 using scripted install. I use PXE with this entry : label esx kernel /esx/esx4/vmlinuz append initrd=/esx/esx4/initrd.img ks=nfs://192.168.0.1/install/ks/esx/esx text mem=512m The installer starts but it's not automatic - it's the wizard. Any idea?

Hi, I have problems with NLB configuration on Windows Server 2008 R2 used for Ex2010 CAS/HUB load balance. Configuration is: 2x Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with CAS/HUB exchange 2010 role in Multicast mode. Servers are virtual servers on VMware ESX 3.5 U5 (2 different ESX). On Cisco router 2811 is added static ARP record with virtual MAC address of NLB. Configuration worked 5 months. Today from some reason users connecting with Outlook (MAPI) can't establish connection. When I telnet from client to NLB address I could establish communication on any port regards of that those ports are not omitted in NLB. Netstat -na on NLB hosts display SYN_RECEIVED but not ESTABLISHED. After troubleshoot/restart and other low-level attempts we broke NLB and configure Round Robin. After that users could connect to CAS. Does anybody heard for that kinds of problems with combination of Microsoft multicast NLB + Cisco + VMware? THX Dejan Dakic
Muchas gracias Marcelo .... que amable. Saludos

Que tal El administrador de un VMware 4.0 me asigno una VM con los siguientes recursos: - 2 procesadores quadcore amd - 4 gb ram A esta VM le instale lo siguiente: - Linux con el kernel 2.6.31 - Postgres 8.4.2 Por otro lado, tengo una PC con el mismo kernel; esta PC esta virtualizada a través de VServer. Las características de la PC son: - 1 procesador intel core2 duo - 3 gb ram Esta PC tiene 3 servidores virtuales; dos de ellos se usan como servidores web y otro como bd (con postgres 8.4.2) Mi problema es referente a que en la VM de VMware tengo altos tiempos de respuesta, por ejemplo: - Al restaura un bd en la PC tarda 3 minutos; el mismo dumper en la VM tarda 20 minutos - Al ejecutar un proceso que incluye consultas e inserciones en diferentes tablas; en la PC tarda 20 minutos y en la VM tarda 6 hrs. Investigando me di cuenta que podia mejorar mis tiempos si paravirtualizaba el driver del disco duro ..... lo hice, pero fue insignificante el tiempo que se mejoro. El administrador del host me creo un "mapper raw lun" y no hubo gran mejoria. Un dato importante es que mi distribucion de linux es gentoo... sin duda alguna esta puede ser una causa. Mis preguntas son: - Gentoo, al no ser soportado por VMWare ¿podrá ser la causa de estas diferencias? - ¿que otras opciones puedo hacer para mejorar los tiempos? de antemano gracias y saludos

Si, es correcto. Cuando tienes 2 quadcores en un ESX, el presenta los cores a las VMs, y nos las CPUs fisicas. SI tu ESX esta licensiado como Enterprise para abajo, podes solo agregar 4 vCPUs a cada una de las VMs. Si es Enterprise Plus, podes presentar hasta 8 vCPUs para cada una de las VMs. Lo que estas viendo es perfectamente normal.

Hola a todos: tengo 5 servidores virtuales que mi area de administración de servidores me crearon, cada maquina virtual tiene 2 procesadores AMD Opteron quad core, he instalado un linux en cada una de las máquinas virtuales con el kernel-2.6.31 ya que con el 2.6.33 no funciona, al ejecutar "cat /proc/cpuinfo" el resultado es que solo aparecen 2 nucleos reconocidos, mi pregunta es si esto es correcto, porque enmi opinión deberían de aparecer 8 nucleos, si alguien ha tenido esta experiencia le agradezco sus respuestas gracias.

wow. I think it is nice place to live. Thanks . If you have lab setup guide please send me.
Sure anything I can help with let me know. Actually I'm in Southern California (6:45PM here) Los Angeles area.

Good Day Hugh, Thanks man. I have one pc ( Core2 Quad / 4 gb / 1 TB / 250 Gb / 2 giga ethernet ) and one laptop. I think I will install ESXi 4 ON usb and will use my laptop as vcentra and internal harddrive as storage. I hope you will not mind if I will ask you more question to startup my lab and do more lab test. I think you are also in Australia. Thnaks again VipinM

Greets, Actually you start to run into problems trying to virtualize-inside-of virtualization, but there are some things you can do with that. Also two of my test machines are not real servers at all. They are nVidia 680i based Core2Duo chips (dual and quad) that also run everything but the power management features of ESX. If you only have the 1 PC what I really recommend is finding 1 more to use as a vCenter control station, and maybe a second hard drive on your existing machine that you can use for VMDK storage. Then the only thing you need is a 1GB or 2GB USB key, install ESXi 4 on it and see if you can boot from it. If not, then just install ESX or ESXi 4 directly on your storage hard drive and you will have at least 1 ESX machine to work with. One of the benefits to an 1850 is that if you boot ESXi 4 from USB key, you can run the server itself with no hard drives if you use an iSCSI storage device. Otherwise you can use the internal storage. The only limitation for an 1850 in a test lab is that it will not run 64bit VMs. No VT support. But it will run 32 bit everything else. The Core 2 boxes I have will run anything and are fully VT enabled. No power support though. So its a trade off.
Hi Hugh, Thanks a lot. I will try that. Can I use Esx server in virtual machine? I have Quad core cpu / 4 GB / 1 TB hdd / 2 gig ethernet ports. VipinM
