VMware Fusion Stuck in Suspended State

Hi,
I have a Windows Virtual Machine running on VMware Fusion. I suspended it earlier, but now I get an internal error when I try to resume. I can't shut it down, so I'm unable to get into it. Any tips?

Try holding down the option key when you click the Virtual Machine menu. Among other things, Shut Down will change to Force Shut Down.

  • Need to repair disk frequently, only happens after running VMWare Fusion, though

    I have to repair my disk by booting with command-R at least twice a week.  The disk gets corrupted and peformance goes down the toilet.
    I have finally isolated that it happens only after I am have run VMWare Fusion 3.1.3.  Whether I leave it open or suspend the VM doesn't matter.  Of course the solution from VMWare was "pay for an upgrade to Vmware 4", but that is not in the cards for me.
    Anyone have similar issues or problems.

    Sorry, I should have been clearer on the VMware response.  3.1.3 is the lowest version they run on Lion and should work (minus the bells and whistles of 4), but I think he was just trying to upsell me 4.
    Unfortunately, no.  While the initial response from VMware was the release of the 3.1.3 update, it was quickly determined from all the reports that people were still experiencing issues with 3.1.3 on Lion.  (I suspect it became more prevelant after the 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 updates.  For the record, I did not have an issue with 3.1.3 on Lion, but I upgraded to Fusion4 before 10.7.1 came out.)  While not everyone experienced an issue with 3.1.3 on Lion, there were enough reports coming in that VMware has pretty much stopped saying 3.1.3 is ok on Lion.  But old webpages with outdated info still live on in Google, etc.
    On a brighter note, VMware dropped the price of Fusion.  Fusion3 was $70 when it was initially released.  Fusion4 is $50.  So from that point of view, VMware is give you $20 off.

  • Vmware Fusion 3.0 and OSX 10.7.4

    Vmware Fusion 3.0 was working fine until I upgraded to 10.7.4. After that it has stopped working and gives two or three errors about kernel space, etc and refuses to start.
    A Windows 7 virtual machine was in a suspended state when I upgraded the OS. Was this a mistake and should I have completely quit Windows before updating? If so what is the way out now? Will it start working again if I delete the virtual machine and install Windows again?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for your quick response, PAHU. However, I tried out your suggestion and, first of all, it wouldn't let me import the Virtual Machine which I had copied out to an external drive. The name of the file was just grayed out and it wouldn't let me click on it. Then I tried to create another Win 7 virtual machine and it came up with the same error messages as before. These messages, in sequence, are as follows:
    "Unable to retrieve kernel zone sizes"
    "Failed to initialize monitor device"
    "Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to"
    The same messages appeared when I tried to create a Win XP Professional virtual machine.
    As I said in my previous message, this has only started happening after I upgraded Mac OSX to 10.7.4. It was working fine up to 10.7.3.

  • VMWare Fusion and Parallels Desktop Benchmark Comparison

    This is a quickie benchmark of VMWare Fusion and Parallels Desktop using Super PI, PC Mark 05, and Passmark.
    VMWare Fusion 36932
    Parallels Desktop 3094 Beta 2
    Notes:
    Both virtual machines were allocated with large 10+ GB virtual disks and 640MB of RAM. The VMWare CPU was configured with two processors. The Parallels CPU was configured with 1 (two is not available). VMWare reported the CPU as 1 physical, 2 logical processors running at 2.66 GHz while Parallels reported 1 physical, 1 logical processor running at 9.6 GHz (the combined speed of all four cores on the Mac Pro). The max observed CPU utilization in activity monitor when running under VMWare was 200% and max under Parallels was 173%.
    I chose not to compare 1 VMWare CPU vs. 1 Parallels CPU. While Parallels does not support SMP or multithreaded processes on multiple processors the CPU utilization on the Mac went well above 1 core (173%). For this comparison, I wanted to see results of max processing based on what the two vendors have delivered, as opposed to benchmarking the underlying "virtual or hypervisor cpu" on a 1:1 basis. This explains why VMWare was 2x faster than Parallels on some CPU tests.
    Both of these products are beta. VMWare is running in debug mode (can not be turned off in this beta).
    Caveat emptor on these stats. This was an unscientific exercise to satisfy my curiosity. Some of the extraordinary differences are highlighted with <--.
    Platform:
    Mac Pro 2.66 GHz, 2GB RAM, Nvidia 7300GT
    Disk 1 - OS X, 73GB Raptor
    Disk 2 - dedicated disk where each virtual machine image was created separate from the OS or any OS-related virtual memory files.

    Thanks for posting these numbers - it's an interesting comparison.
    I would expect the final VMWare fusion performance numbers to be quite a bit better than that of Parallels - they have almost a decade's worth of experience more than the Parallels folks in this arena, and a much larger development team to boot.
    Once VMWare Fusion is released to the public, I think that you'll see a clearer distinction between the two products. VMWare will continue to appeal to the professional customer, with a more robust feature set and corporate-friendly features (and a correspondingly higher price tag); Parallels will fall more into the consumer/VirtualPC-replacement market. It will be interesting to see how Parallels will be affected when (and if) VMWare player is ported to OS X.
    Interesting about the Parallels performance stats on a native partition - looks like almost enough reason to avoid the bootcamp partition approach altogether. Sharing a native windows installation with a VM in parallels is a pretty scary situation in any case, as the two environments have entirely different hardware configurations. Do-able, but there is some black magic involved (if you want to see an example of what I mean, try to move a windows installation from one machine to another w/different hardware sometime - it ain't pretty); I wouldn't try this in a production scheme unless I had REALLY good backups.

  • Which is better? VMware Fusion 3 or Parallels Desktop 6?

    Hi all
    I have had my iMac i5 for 3 days now and I am starting to get the hang of it ater coverting from PeeCee....
    But I have some application that I need to run in windows, mainly my pinnacle software (dazzle creator 90 and media streamer similar to apple TV).
    I would like to access and run windows via the mac os but I am stuck on which software to buy.  Should I et VMware Fusion 3 or Parallels Desktop 6.
    I would use bootcamp but from what I have read I can only run OSx or Windows XP
    Does anyone here use either software and recommend which is best or if there is another similar software?  I am thinking of selling the streamer to get apple tv but only if I can't get this to work...

    Forgot to mention that I have found 2 different versions of parallel's 6
    there is:
    Parallels Desktop 6 £59.99
    and
    Parallels Desktop 6 Switch to Mac Edition £79.99
    are these the same software?

    I am evaluating Virtualbox as an alternative but Arch performes sluggish in VB though it allows me to run fullscreen with native resolution (1440x900).

  • VMware Fusion Freezes when i try to start it.

    Hey guys, i have encountered a problem with Vmware fusion today. When i tried to turn it on it froze on me so i restarted my computer, after doing that I tried to run it again and as soon as it got up to the Windows XP screen it just freezes, i cant even move my mouse. Another restart after that gets me to the screen where i can choose Safe mode or normal mode, and when i choose safe mode it runs some commands and freezes again.
    Also prior to the problem i used to just Suspend the VM all the time and exit out of the program instead of shutting it down. I am not sure if that caused it but that is just some extra info. I also tried updating it to the newest version but that did not help either.
    So i am wondering is there anyway to save what i have on that VM? Or do i have to just uninstall, reinstall and make a whole new VM.
    Thanks for the help.

    Fusion is a third-party product. Perhaps you should visit their forum to see if someone there can help you.

  • Mountain Lion procedure to clean up (shrink) a Snow Leopard virtual machine under VMware Fusion 5.0.3

    Procedure to clean up (shrink) a Snow Leopard virtual machine under VMware Fusion 5.0.3
    1.     Backup your existing Mac OS X Snow Leopard virtual machine
    2.     Right click the Mac OS X Snow Leopard virtual machine
                        Click Show Package Contents
                        If there are a number of Virtual Disk files then Fusion is allocating space for the virtual machine in 2 GB segments
                        Close the Package Contents folder
    3.     If the Snow Leopard virtual machine is segmented then convert it to a single Virtual Disk.vmdk as follows:
                        Start VMware Fusion
                        Select the Mac OS X Snow Leopard virtual machine
                        Click Settings > Hard Disk (SCSI)
                        Click the Advanced options disclosure triangle

    Pretty much. You can always erase your hard drive and reinstall the OS. Some people may attempt to talk you through manually deleting files. I try very hard to avoid doing that because 100% of the time, the person I'm trying to help can't find the files and, instead, starts randomly deleting required system files. Then you have no choice but to reinstall the OS.

  • Vmware fusion video drivers

    I am running Mavericks on a Mac Mini 1012.  Vmware Fusion 6 virtural machine running Windows 8.1 with Windows Media Center.  When I run the Digital Cable Advisor in media center is states that my video card is not acceptable.  Vmware uses an SVGA standard drive.  Does anyone know how to change the driver to Intel 4000 HD so that I can watch Live TV?

    What did they say at the VMware site? Virtual machines use virtual hardware so you will need to talk with the WMware gurus. VMware has nothing to do with Boot Camp, this discussion group.

  • Experiences with Oracle 10g/11g RAC on VMWare Fusion for Macbook and OEL 5

    Folks,
    I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro laptop computer to use for demos and testing with Oracle RAC. I am using VMWare Fusion for Mac OS X to setup new VM machines with Oracle 11g.
    Thus far, I can setup single instance Oracle 11g database fine with OEL 5 (32 bit OS) as the guest OS. The problem that I keep running into due to the limitation with VMWare Fusion product is that I am not able to edit the VMWare network settings to allow multiple VM machines to communicate with each other. The second main issue that I currently face is that VMWare Fusion does not allow you to setup shared disks which are a requirement to install and configure an Oracle RAC environment. I came to the realization that after searching forums online that
    one must setup a third VM machine to act as an NFS or iSCSI filer system to present to the other VM hosts for the shared storage requirement for RAC. Has anyone been able to do all
    of this successfully with VMWare Fusion on a Macbook ? If so, I would definitely be interested in finding out how you did this. Specifically the following:
    1. Network configuration for each VMWare Fusion guest OS machine
    2. Shared storage ie) NFS or OpenFiler VM machine
    Regards,
    Ben

    Hi,
    I'm facing the same issue.. If your issue is fixed..could you please let me know?
    I'm trying to configure 11g RAC with OPenfiler and got stuck here.
    Regards,
    Kumar

  • VMware Fusion - Any Good?

    Hi,
    I'm thinking about getting the VMware Fusion to run windows on my mac today, but just wanted to know does anyone have/had it on their laptop and was it indeed any good? I tried searching on the website for it but can't find it to see how much it is in UK Pounds only in USA dollars.
    Thanks

    Just to add my two cents as it were, I've been using VMWare Fusion for at least a year now and the only problems that I've had is it not running some of my more graphics heavy games.
    For using Office and Messenger though it work perfectly. There's no slowdown when using it. You can create a virtual machine for pretty much any OS as long as you have the install files.
    Also, if you have a Boot Camp partition you can load that up as a virtual machine so you don't have to install a separate one. Although, I have a Boot Camp partition set up and I've also got a VM of the same Windows that is only running Office and a few other programs so that I can easily check compatibility.
    THe other thing you can do with the virtual machines (not the Boot Camp machine) is suspend the operation of it, which essentially puts the VM into sleep mode, but you can then close down Fusion or even you Mac. When you load up Fusion again, there's no need to wait for Windows to boot up, just click resume and it's there just as you left it.
    I've tried Parallels before but to me it just didn't feel as polished or easy to use as Fusion.
    Thats just my opinion though.
    Hope this helps

    Since I was just evaluating the software I do not have a software agreement to open a ticket.  Any ideas would be helpful....
    Thanks,

    Yes, yes, all of the usual.  I'm posting here so just in case someone knows what usually causes this:
    Caught signal 11
    If it's plist files that could cause it or running programs, etc.  I'm not looking for any assistance with standard troubleshooting techniques but thanks for the thought.
    Eventually I'll either purchase it (since it works on my iMac just fine) and open a case or give up and stay with 3.1.3 until a later version comes out.
    Again thanks for the assistance.
    UPDATE:
    Finally got access to VMTN, posted this below:

  • CS3 Web Premium under VMWare Fusion

    I run a MacBook Pro with Leopard when I'm on the road and am very familiar with VMWare Fusion. At home, I have yet to convert all of my hardware to Mac (getting there eventually), but my main graphics/photo/art machines are still Vista Ultimate 64 so I'm stuck with running CS3 Creative in VMWare, or limiting myself to only my Mac copy(transferred from windows) of CS4 Photoshop. Since I have to still run CS3 Creative Suite on Vista at Home, I've tried installing it under VMWare Fusion and Acrobat Pro, and Bridge install successfully. The installer completes successfully, but all other products fail to install. Has anyone run into this and found a fix or workaround for installing Creative Suite in VMWare Fusion on Leopard?
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Mike,
    Where is the cs3 cleanscript? Because I run multiple VMWare Fusion instances, I start and stop them depending on what I'm doing. I can create a XP Pro or Vista Fusion session and with 4G of RAM pretty much give it what it needs. I've been allocating 2G to them... I would think that should be enough with only the Mac and one Fusion instance running.

  • Using a VMware Fusion XP environment with multiple Mac users

    Hi,
    I have installed an XP environment using VMware Fusion. I am only able to start this XP environment when logged in as the user that created it. How can I grant access to this environment to other MAC users on my machine?
    Any input is much appreciated.
    Kind regards, Hans.

    Thanks all, thanks for your input. I have been able to solve it now.
    As suggested I moved the VMWARE file to the shared folder. Then I assigned read/write access rights to the specific users. This is something I had not tried before. Somehow just moving to the shared folder did not change access rights on file level.
    Thanks all,
    Hans.
