Virtual machine setup mini guide for thoes with XP or 7

Sorry this guide is very rough.
Why do we need this? Because application loader works only on mac. Not on PC. The final step to submit the application requires application loader. There is no way around it at the moment.
So you need to submit your app but you don't have a mac or money for a used mac. You can still submit but You will need the following
1. Retail DVD of snow leopard (ebay has brand new copies for $45 shipped)
2. computer with AMD or Intel CPU
3. about 20gig HD and 2gig ram
4. fast internet connection
5. a big cup of coffe
6. a gigantic bag of patience.
also needed
Latest Empire EFI boot discs, combo update 10.5.6 for snow leopard, usb flash drive, multibeast, vmware preconfigered files for snow leopard, xcode
all available if you just google them.
1. start download process on vmware workstation 7, combo update 10.5.6, EFI bootdisc for AMD or Intel, multibeast
2. install vmware, reboot. open up the vmware preconfigered files, make changes to HD and ram size. save it.
3. mount the EFI bootdisc in VMware, boot VM up, on the EFI boot screen, insert your Retail DVD and change the VM dvd drive to connect to your physical drive
4. hit F5, it should change the icon to MAC OSX INSTALL. Install Mac. configure it if you want. after install is finished, reattach the EFI bootdisc to boot your system. you willl not be able to boot without the bootdisc.
5. before it boots, shut it down and make a snapshot. when EFI boots up again, you will see your mac installation, select that and it will boot into mac desktop.
6. now copy multibeast, combo update, xcode on to your usb flash drive. then connect your flash drive with mac osx, copy all the files onto your desktop
7. open multibeast, don't install it, run combo update, then complete multibeast installation with Easybeast option
8. now reboot your VM, if everything works, shut it down and make another snap shot
9. install xcode! finaly! after xcode finishes installation, you are good to go.
couple of questions you might ask
1. how to copy files around xp and mac on vmware. My suggestion, don't invest time into connecting the computers. just use the flash drive.
2. must we always use the bootdisc to boot. No. You can find out how to resolve that. I just left it alone.
3. why not just use xcode to develope. Well, vmware is extremlily slow running mac osx.
4. finaly, vmware workstation 7 is trial version. Yes, you might be able to get the vmware player to run your vm after you finished the setup.
This guide might get removed by adobe. if it does oh wells. google is your friend.
if you still need help you can pm me. if i am not banned i suppose.

[SOLVED] virtual machine or dual-boot for development

I'm about to setup a new machine and I am in need of some advice on whether to dual-boot or run a virtual box. Arch Linux is my primary OS, but I need Windows 7 (64-bit) for certain development work. Specifically, the tools I use are Visual Studio Express 10/11 and NI LabVIEW, and I almost always run them both at the same time. Would this type of situation be better suited for a dual-boot setup or could I run it in VirtualBox? I haven't done a lot of work with virtual machines, so I'm not sure of how they typically perform. I mostly care about seamless performance and I honestly don't mind rebooting between the OSes, but if I cat get seamless performance using VirtualBox, then why not go that route. Also, not having to setup up the dual-boot is a plus.
The hardware of this machine includes: 8 gigs of ram, AMD FX 8350, 128 GB SSD, and a 1 GB Radeon 4670 graphics card.
I know this question has been touched on in other posts, but most of the posts I've seen are more than a year or two old. Given advances in hardware, I'm interested in a current advice.

Hi,
I have a similar setup for my work. My hardware is : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3667U CPU @ 2.00GHz, 16GB of ram, 256GB SSD SED. I run a Windows 8 VM inside Virtualbox with the guest addition + extension pack and use VS 2012 Pro on daily basis.
My VM is configured to have only 1 CPU with a 100% execution cap and 4GB of ram. Thing run just perfectly like this, fluent and eye candy. Depending on my need I increase the number of CPU or tweak the execution cap.
Cheers
Edit:
Sadly modifying the VM CPU number must be done offline. However the execution cap can be tweaked online.

The virtual machine has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1)

Hello All,
I came up with the error below, when I am trying to start a virtual machine from my VirtualBox. It was working fine till yesterday, and all of a sudden it's throwing this error. The only change I can think of, is of some automatic windows update which might have changed/updated the registry entries.
VirtualBox Version: 4.3.20
Host: Win7 64 bit
Guest: OracleLinux 64 bit
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine DEVM.
The virtual machine 'DEVM' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 'E:\VM\DEVM\Logs\VBoxStartup.log'.

IMPORTANT GUIDE FOR ANYONE WITH AN HP DEVICE NOT WORKING AFTER SNOW LEOPARD

To anyone with an HP printer/scanner device,
After being frustrated with my HP Photosmart C4580 not being able to scan for over an hour (scouring the forums, HP's website etc), I've come to realize my problem. Note that this has only been tested on a device that is plugged in DIRECTLY to your mac. I have not tried this over the network and do not plan to since my house is not set up for that.
Anyone who is having any issues with their device, UNINSTALL the HP software. The software is simply incompatible with SL and will mess up your devices! HP even says so on their website (see link below)!
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en &product=1153481
This is easily done by going to your applications folder > Hewlett Packard > HP Uninstaller. After using the uninstaller to uninstall HP's apps from your computer unplug your scanner from your computer and power supply. Now to make sure there are NO printers registered with your computer that could possibly mess up the fresh driver install, go to System Preferences > Print & Fax. Right click anywhere in the left pane (where any printers you have/had installed will be located) and click "Reset Printing System". This will wipe out any traces of a printer so you can start a-new.
Now, restart your computer. After it is restarted, plug your printer into the power source, then when it is fully booted up you may plug it into your USB slot. Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Fax. Click on the "+" (which will give you the interface to add your printer), select your printer (which you should note will say "USB Multifunction" instead of "USB" which is what showed up with the HP software still installed), and click "add". Your mac will do the rest (installing the drivers and such) and you should be able to print & scan as usual.
Note that you will need to scan using Preview, Image Capture, or your Printer Queue due to the changes with Snow Leopard (see the HP link above to learn how to use these). Your device should now properly show up when you use these applications to try and scan now.
-Mike S

@lakewood - there is nothing specifically in Software Update if you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard. For me anyway..seems like thats the case for everyone though.
@ruger - so it won't even let you hit the '+'? For me, I had to hit the '+' to get it to install which in turn automatically downloaded the proper software/drivers for my device. if i were you, i'd see if i could get that to happen and hit '+' to install it. also - make sure you don't have any of the HP software on your computer also (use the uninstaller provided!)..that was really what did the trick for my machine. HP has come out and specifically said to not use the device manager, but that didn't quite do it for me. i had to uninstall everything that came on that CD (its all located in applications > Hewlett-Packard and, like i said, can be uninstalled easily using the provided uninstaller).
if all else fails, what i've also heard helps is just to reinstall snow leopard. that'll make sure everything is fresh. i'd delete all your printers like i outlined in my first post first THEN reinstalling it if you wish to go that route. however, it really does sound like the driver is messed up if its pausing and works fine with time capsule. idk how old the printer is, but sometimes with older models, the support blows. i apologize if none of this helps whatever the reason for your troubles may be, though.
Good luck,
-Mike S
PS: printers are always terrible to upgrade on everyone's end. consumers, operating systems, and manufacturers. it stinks that nothing can be generic and run similarly anymore =/

Setup Airport Express for printing with Samsung CLX-3185FW

I have bought an Airport Express which I was told I could connect my printer to so we can print from our iPad, iPhones and iPods.
Does anybody have any instructions on how to do this so I can access the printer on my ios devices to print? It might be best for me to start from the beginning.
(I have already tried to connect the AX by extending the network but there is an error message coming up saying it was unable to extend the wireless network. I also tried to join an existing network but I didn't have any luck there either. I installed Airport Utility on my PC and I could see the printer under the printers options but now when I open the Aiport Utility, it doesn't even find that I have an AX!). I'm not havin much luck with it. Any assistance on how to start fresh and set it all up would be appreciated. Thanks, Jason

....I was told I could connect my printer to so we can print from our iPad, iPhones and iPods.
Unfortunately, the information that you received is not correct.
In order to print from iOS devices, you need to have an AirPrint compatible printer. Your Samsung model is not on the list of AirPrint compatible devices. See this Apple support document for more details:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Adding or ssing an AirPort Express will not make your printer AirPrint compatible
As a possible workaround, Installing an App like Print Central on each of your iOS devices might allow you to print from the iOS devices to the printer.

Inside Virtual Machine I see 10Gbps for 40GB nic

Hi,
I have a 40GB nic in HOST. I have created a virtual switch and assigned to the VM.
In host I see 40GB Link speed but in VM i see 10 Gbps only. Virtual switch does not support 40Gbps or any configuration issue?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks, Krishna

Hi Krishna,
"I have created a virtual switch and assigned to the VM."
After you did "assign" , the virtual switch still belongs to Host .
"assigned it to VM" it means you connected the VM's virtual NIC to the Virtual Switch .

Help! Azure Cloud Services and Virtual Machine Web Servers Load Balancing

I have a cloud service. I have two virtual machines setup as web servers each with IIS installed. I have configured my domain registrar to point my domain name to the cloud service IP address. I also went into the endpoints of each virtual machine and verified
that I have http port 80 setup on both in a load balanced set.
I am unable to access websites on either server at this point. DNS propogation site shows "error: token mismatch"...this has been setup since yesterday and still error.
Can anyone assist me in where I went wrong? Am I confused to how the cloud service should work? I am assuming it will allow me to load balance the two virtual machines in the way I have configured above. Please help!!!!

Windows virtual machine with labview on a Mac

I am about to buy a Mac laptop with virtualization software (either VMware or Parallels), then create a Windows 7 virtual machine and put Labview for Windows Professional on it.
I searched the board and found some discussion of this configuration but it is several years old.
I would just like to hear from people who have done this and learn from their experiences. Are there any pitfalls, features that don't work, performance problems, setup difficulties, whatever. Also, do you prefer VMware or Parallels.
One other thing: I would like to create at least four virtual machines (Windows with Labview development, Windows without LV to test the applications in a non-labview environment, and similar for MacOS}. Is this a reasonable thing to do?
Regards,
David

Hi David,
As indicated above I have been running a windows virtual machine using VMware on a 17 inch macbook pro for quite a while now. I have not experienced significant problems. Labview and labview generated apps work fine in the virtual environment.
But would I do it again? I think not. The economics don't work. You can buy a quite capable Windows laptop for less than $500. The virtual machine alternative costs $200 for a copy of Windows, $80 for virtualization software (Parallels or VMware) plus extra memory on the Mac (I have 8 gb) plus a more powerful machine, etc. I ended up paying over $3,000 for the Mac hardware and extra software. The alternative would have been $1,500 for a 15 inch Mac plus $500 for a Windows laptop.
Also, there is definitely a performance penalty. Virtualization is not free. Start up and shutdown times for Windows are more than twice as long under VMware than with a cheap HP laptop.
It is nice having all my files (Mac and Windows) on the same machine but I could have easily networked the Mac and Windows and had effectively the same result. Expected benefits, such as a single backup disk for both operating systems didn't work out. Apple's time machine software views the entire Windows environment as a single lump, so I am still stuck with two backup drives.
So the good news is that it works. The bad news is that the costs (in my opinion) exceed the benefits.

Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g - console logons

Dear All
Excellent work on VirtualBox SOA suite image, very very cool
All started up no sweat, logged into virtual image no probs (oracle:oracle)
Firefox all nicely set up with links
BUT what are the console logins for
1 - Oracle EM
2 - WLS Console
3 - BPM Workspace
4 - BPM Process Composer
5 - Oracle B2B Login
Perhaps I'm missing something, but I cant find them
many thanks all

I will try to explain in more detail what i am trying here:
I am planning to use the Virtual Machine as server, just for running Weblogic with SOA/BPM.
All the development i will do on a different computer, where I have installed JDeveloper. From the development environment I will try to deploy applications on SOA/BPM Virtual machine.
As I understood, bridge networking are problematic when using wireless connectivity and VirtualBox. Therefore, I am trying to use NAT with port forwarding instead.
To make port forwarding work:
First, you need to execute on the host the following command line:
+VBoxManage modifyvm "vbox-oel5u4-soabpm-11gr1ps2-bp1-otn" --natpf1 "guestswls,tcp,,7001,,7001"+
Next, on guest VM, Network Adapters, choose NAT and as Adapter Type choose: Intel PRO/1000 MT Server
With this settings, I am able to connect from development computer to the Em console, WLS console etc. I am able even to 'see' the WLS SOA/BPM instance with JDeveloper from LAN machine. But when I am trying to deploy from JDeveloper, under SOA Servers step2 screen, I see the server URL as localhost:7001. Therefore I cannot deploy yet...
Thanks,
Florin

Virtual Machine with Adobe Pro 8 Unable to activate.

I had a physical machine with windows 2K3 and Adobe Pro 8. We ported the physical machine to a virtual machine and now Adobe Pro 8 says it needs to activate again. We tried to activate through the web and over the phone, but we are currently out of activations. The person on the phone says that Adobe Pro or ANY of their products for that matter will NOT work on a virtual machine!!! How ridiculous is that? With many companies going green and going virtual I can not believe Adobe doesn't support virtual machines. I was told to search the web and forums. I have yet to find an answer. So I've decided to post this if anyone has run in to the same problem and if there are any solutions.

Victor,
Acrobat most certainly does work on a Virtual Machine (VMware and MS Virtual Server VMs are supported) - I sincerely apologize that you were given incorrect information. We do a large majority of testing and support on VMware-based virtual machines and any issues you have with running Acrobat 8 on a virtual machine should be considered supported.
Acrobat's licensing will require you to re-activate when you change hardware (which, in effect, is what cloning a physical machine to a VM entails - the virtual hardware supplied by the VM will have a different signature than your physical hardware did). This is why you are being prompted to reactive - it has nothing to do with the VM specifically, the same thing would happen if you ghosted your system onto new physical hardware as well.
If you can post a way for me to contact you, I will get you directly in touch with the people who can override an activation for you. That way you will be able to use Acrobat on your virtual machine.
Again, I apologize for you being given incorrect information. The situation is being looked into and new information will be updated to our help desk agents to make sure they are aware of this - thank you for pointing out this oversight.

How many concurrent users are allowed for an Azure Virtual Machine?

How many concurrent users are allowed for an Azure Virtual Machine?
Please share the details with the Azure VM size. Currently I have Standard VM of size D13(4 cores, 28GB RAM)

Hi SanPSK,
Thanks for posting here.
I suggest you to check this article for Azure VM size
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn197896.aspx
For the concurrent users on VM - A maximum of 2 concurrent connections are supported, unless the server is configured as a Remote Desktop Services session host.
