VMwareÂ Workstation 5 beta

I have installed VMwareÂ® Workstation 5 beta replacing the version provided by your impressive package.
I have restarted the initial Oracle10g_SLE9 OBE virtual machine but have lost the virtual network configuration. Have you already tried this 5 Beta installation on your configuration. What parameter/configuration files do I have to restore. Could you provide a short list of configurations I have to restore ?
I was so impressed by your environment that I have the intention to buy VMware Workstation 5 when ready.
Regards,
Eugene Lejeune

The current VMware WS 5 Beta (build 12544) works just fine with both the SuSE and Red Hat VMs. Minimal/optional changes if any.
Irrespective of V5, each time you re-install VMware you have to make sure the subnets are set correctly as the installation process will choose a random subnet then the network will not be reachable to/from the VM. See readme for detailed manual steps to fix it. on the Guest you should see:
Ethernet adapter VMware Network Adapter VMnet1:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.10.10.1
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
Ethernet adapter VMware Network Adapter VMnet8:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.203.1
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
I choose not to upgrade hardware and all worked without any changes at all. I see the warning about the VMware tools not up to-date, otherwise I can ping to/from the VM, all services are running as well as all the 2 NICs are defined. I suggest you review the network settings, press REVERT before you start with V5 and it will be OK.
good luck,
Saar.

[request] vmware workstation 6.5B2

http://www.vmware.com/communities/conte … nload.html
only 2 method , .rpm and .bundle
not like the ones in AUR , so i dont know how to package it

Hi, Im new to Linux, running Arch for one day so far. Hitting a tough hurdle trying to understand how to install the Vmware workstation Beta 2. I downloaded the RPM and the .bundle. Can't find ANYTHING on teh intertubes about installing a .bundle. Rpmextract is not working for the RPM. Then I ran:
./VMware-Workstation-e.x.p-99530.x86_64.bundle --console --custom
AS ROOT like loupy, but I get:
bash: ./VMware-Workstation-e.x.p-99530.x86_64.bundle: Permission denied
I also tried it without the arguments, still denied.
No entiendo!
Help a NOOB
Edit: So I found out that it's rpmextract.sh <filename>.rpm. needed the .sh. So now I have a etc and a usr sitting there... hmmm. Wish I could get that dot.bundle to work.

[Request] VMware Workstation 6.5 beta

Can someone please create a package for VMware Workstation 6.5 beta - it's available to everyone after signing up at http://communities.vmware.com/community … station6.5
Thanks

A matter of personal choice.
I have to say that a post of "but I didn't like it" is hardly an objective assessment against established benchmarks. What it IS, clearly, is a subjective opinion without specific justifications.
Not really a helpful comment.
Why not help members by providing a technical assessment backed up with evidence based on your experiences.
At the end of the day I propose members just install both, decide and remove the vm they "dont like" !

REQUEST: VMware Workstation 6.5 build 118166 non-beta release

Hi,
Linux newbie here. Can anyone whip up a nice pgkbuild for the recent official release of vmware workstation 6.5? The current build is 118166. The 6.5 beta expires at the end of the month.
No, I can't use virtualbox, since ESX doesn't run in it. Yes, I need to run a couple ESX VMs.
Thanks!

To install Workstation on a Linux host using a bundle
1 Download VMware-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.xxxxxx.bundle. Replace xxxxx for whichever architecture.
2 In a terminal cd to the directory where you downloaded the file.
3 Become root to perform the initial installation steps:
$ su
# mkdir -p /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/rc{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.d
# sh VMware-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.xxxxxx.bundle --console --custom
4 Accept the EULA to continue.
5 Accept the default settings until it prompts for System service runlevels then set to:
/etc/rc.d/vmware.d/
6 For System service scripts set to:
/etc/rc.d
7 (Optional) Enter the directory path to the Integrated Virtual Debugger for Eclipse
if Eclipse is installed.
Click Install.
8 Open Workstation to launch the kernel module updater to install and configure the
kernel.

Hardware requirement for running exchange 2010 on vmware workstation

Dear Team,I need to create a exchange 2010 sp2 on a guest os on vmware workstation.kindly help me out with the physical hardware requirements for a home user

Hey Mukund26,
Before I answer your questions, my suggestion would be for you to figure out exactly what you want to get out of running that Exchange lab. Are you trying to learn Exchange features like DAGs? Are you trying to learn about virtualizing Exchange? When you figure that out you'll be better able to answer question 1 since you may not need all of those virtual machines.
Here are my thoughts on your questions.
1) It is probably technically possible to run 10 virtual machines on the configuration you have but you're going to have pretty bad performance. I would try to trim that down to only the virutal machines that you really need in order to use the lab how you want to use it. Here are some questions that may help you figure out what you need:
Why do you need two domain controllers? I don't think you need to worry as much about redundancy in your lab.
Why do you need 2 ESXi hosts and a vCenter? What purpose do they serve in this configuration? Are you trying to run the Exchange VMs nested under the ESXi VMs? If so, why?
Is there a reason why you want to separate out HTS/CAS from MBX in your lab? Combining all roles together can reduce the number of VMs you need. If you separate out the roles you'll need to allocate a lot of RAM to support all of those Exchange VMs.
2) Running a lot of virtual machines on a single 1TB SATA disk, especially a 5400 RPM disk, is going to be slow. It'll be especially painful when the VMs are booting up, rebooting, shutting down, etc.. Try to stagger the power on operations so they don't all boot at once. For example, first boot your DCs, then boot your HTS/CAS, then your MBX, etc. There is no doubt that configuration will be slow, so if you can get your hands on an solid state drive with enough space you'll have significantly better performance. For the purposes of a lab, though, it is probably ok if you can be patient.
3) I think the i5 processor will be just fine for this lab. Usually in a lab setting CPU performance isn't the most important thing so similar to above as long as you can be a little patient I think that CPU will suit you just fine.
As I said figure out what you want to get out of the lab and then you can determine how many VMs you need and whether or not you want to upgrade hardware. If you're looking to learn about Exchange 2010 in general I would suggest using multirole servers, getting rid of one of the DCs, and not worrying about virtualizing ESX/vCenter so that you can learn. If you're looking to learn about virtualizing Exchange 2010 on vSphere then let's figure out exactly what you want to get out of it and figure out what you can learn using VMware Workstation and what you really need vSphere for.
Best of luck!

SAP on VirtualBOX,VMware Workstation 7.0

Hello all:
Can I install SAP ERP 2005 on Virtual Box or Vmware Workstation 7.0.
pls advise.

I've used Win x32 release... I read the Note, and effectively:
"SAP only supports Windows 64-bit as guest operating system in a virtualized
environment for AMD and Intel processors. If the support of an SAP
application in a native environment is restricted to specific Windows
editions or Windows installation options, the same restrictions apply to
the support of this SAP application in a virtualized environment"
However, from the other side, I am not so expert in Basis aspects (but better than no response ).
Still waiting for some Guru's suggestions.

Manage USB drives / removal with VMWare Workstation in Unity mode

We have a peice of legacy software that only runs on windows XP. Our deployment has it running on VMware Workstation in Unity mode. A constant issue is USB drives. The users need to connect USB drives to the legacy app.
The way i'ts currently managed: the drives are set to auto-mount into VMWare with the VID and PID of the drives. Then a DriveRemove.exe utility bat file is setup to eject the drives, and a shortcut is placed on the users desktop. Is there a better way to do this?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Really disappointed in Apple after this!
I've had my iPhone 4S still on iOS5, and wanted to update to iOS6 today. I tried over the air, but it kept failing and suggesting that I try it with iTunes. My iPhone hasn't been connected to iTunes for months, so I first had to update, which makes updating already quite annoying as it doesn't work as intended.
After updating my iTunes, it found my iPhone and I hit Update. After some time it just stopped and failed on me, my iPhone went into recovery mode. After reconnecting to iTunes I get the message; "Your iPhone is in recovery mode, please recover" with a "OK" button. I hit that button and the Update/Restore screen disappears.
Luckily I found the log files in my User data folder and were able to figure out the error number, but for a normal user this would be a point they would give up! My next smartphone might not be an iPhone, the hardware and the experience is great on an iPhone. But updating/settings/app-management and iTunes just suck!

Oracle 10g + VMware Workstation 6.5 = data block corruption?

I'm trying to run Oracle 10g on VMWare Workstation 6.5 (host and guest are windows 2003)
I've noticed a couple times that I easily get block corruptions and wonder if there are some settings to lower the risk.
Note this is a DEV machine, not a production machine.
I don't know if Oracle supports the set up but I'm sure many people are running Oracle in Vmware so I'm looking to those who have done so successfully.
Anyone know of special precautions in either Vmware or Oracle config to limit the risk on block corruption?
According to VMWare, ESX is a perfect platorm so maybe I should move from Workstation to ESX, maybe it has to do with Windows in VM and Linux would work better.
Anyone has some info on why Oracle has block corruption on VMware Workstation (windows/windows)?
Other people with positive/negative experience on VMWare Workstation (mention OS's and Oracle version please)
(before someone tells me it's not supported, also see these pages on vmware.com:

Well, it's indeed not for production, I use it for product demos and small development tasks, there is no critical data in my database but I wished I could run Oracle inside a VM on my laptop...
It works reasonably well (I even have run multiple VM's (Workstation) with Oracle insde on 1 laptop (4 GB Ram, Core Duo), but sooner or later it gives some problems. If there is any setting that can lower the risk would be great.
I was thinking of installing ORacle VM but apparently my laptop is not compatible with that (nor with ESX for that matter).
Anyone use plain Xen (which seems to support any processor) + Oracle on Linux ??
I can't install Oracle natively on the machine directly since I need the capabilities of a VM in respect of easy backup + I have many different applications and databases so depending on what I need to show, I just start a different VM
The VM provides the capabilities to move back to previous situation, exchaning demos with collegues, have multiple parallel copies with different configurations (depending on customer), etc...
... installing natively is too much of hassle, we used to swap hard disks but that's a pain when the hardware changes, at least with VMWare WS you can run it on pretty much any computer.
How do other people deal with this type of situation?? We have ESX on a hosted environment but internet access is not always available...
It seems stable enough to run my demos (I'm doing this for quite a while but the block corruption seems to happen sooner or later)
The problem is that I first need to get the demo installed without corruptions. Once it's installed I can just restart from that situation over and over again, but obviously I don't want to run the risk of having a disk corruption in the middle of a demo.

Issues with Arch 2009.02 in VMware Workstation [SOLVED]

I installed Arch Linux 2009.02 i686 as a guest in VMware Workstation 6.5.1, my host is Vista x64. The installation of Arch itself and Xorg wasn't a problem although from this point I've had several issues.
I was unable to 'startx' or 'xinit' without getting crashes, however adding hal to the daemons fixed that problem - some wiki entries state to add dbus, but dbus is already started. A lot of content on the wiki is outdated, telling users to use hwd; I did install hwd separately (from sourceforge) although it gave me hundreds? of errors related to PCI and eventually failure to parse some x configuration binary in /usr/bin.
Multimedia Issues
I then installed xfce4 and gstreamer-plugins. All video and audio play back too quickly, i.e. it seems to play the streams as fast as they can decode. This also happens with flash content such as youtube after I'd installed the appropriate programs. Thinking this may be a timing issue, I editted the vmware config file on my Windows host although it did not help; the timing in the VM seemed to be correct anyway.
Display Issues
When I run 'startxfce4' from a terminal, Xfce will start as 800x600 - if I go to change this resolution all options show 0Hz as the refresh rate and many options my monitor cannot display are shown even though I have VMware set to allow a maximum size of 1680x1050. I was unable to generate a 'good' xorg.conf file using 'X -configure' and as mentioned earlier, hwd would not work for me. I installed xf86-video-vmware and xf86-video-vesa as well as both open-vm-tools and normal vmware-tools (not at the same time or together) but can't seem to sort this issue. vmware-tools was able to generate a valid xorg.conf file but it only included a handful of 4:3 resolutions and some of these still showed 0hz. For some strange reason 'startx' and 'xinit' now do not work having failed to find /dev/fb0.
VMware Tools
When I did try to install vmware-tools, it had many difficulties trying to build the modules - mostly regarding to not recognising __FREEBSD__, I cannot remember the complete error. I also tried to build open-vm-tools but that gave an error about not being able to find libproc even though I had procps installed. Stopping open-vm-tools on shutdown also always fails and occurs twice.
I'm going to try reinstalling now that I know a little more about what I did to get things working but if anyone could give me a hand it'd be much appreciated.

After a lot of experimentation I've got a satisfactory installation although a few minor problems remain:
Adjustments required to correctly run Alsa+Xorg in Arch Linux 2009.02 using VMware Workstation
The current kernel does not play nicely with alsa, downgrade to kernel26-2.6.29.4-1:
wget http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/core/ … pkg.tar.gz
pacman -U kernel26-2.6.29.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Install/Upgrade dbus:
pacman -Sy dbus
Add hal (if it's not installed then make sure to do so) to your daemons located in /etc/rc.conf, e.g.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal)
The current open-vm-tools-modules is not compatible with the older kernel, instead use open-vm-tools-modules-2009.04.23-1:
wget http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/commu … pkg.tar.gz
pacman -U open-vm-tools-modules-2009.04.23-1
The installation will prompt you with an error that /etc/modprobe.conf could not be found (as does the current version), add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
install pcnet32 /sbin/modprobe -q --ignore-install vmxnet; /sbin/modprobe -q --ignore-install pcnet 32 ; /bin/true;
You can now install open-vm-tools:
pacman -S open-vm-tools
To autoload open-vm-tools on start up you need to add it to your daemons located in /etc/rc.conf, e.g.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal open-vm-tools)
Add vmware-user to your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file if you desire (for seamless mouse and display switching), e.g. my xinitrc with xfce4 ends with:
vmware-user &
exec startxfce4
Install the following components: xf86-video-vmware xf86-video-vesa xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-input-mouse:
(You will not be able to start x if you have installed xf86-video-fbdev and do not have a valid xorg.conf file, this is addressed later)
pacman -S xf86-video-vmware xf86-video-vesa xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-input-mouse
Lastly we need to edit/create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to use our vmware drivers, this will enable automatic resolution switching and seamless mouse functionality:
(All of the following is necessary otherwise X will ignore our vmware drivers)
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "VMware Mouse"
Driver "vmmouse"
Option "Protocol" "ps/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "VMware SVGA"
Driver "vmware"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "VMware Config"
InputDevice "VMware Mouse" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Issues
* open-vm-tools fails to stop during a shutdown or /etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools stop/restart
* most screen resolutions show 0Hz (although everything works correctly) and adding VertRefresh to xorg.conf produces a major error
* playback of flash video produces a sound artefact when starting - although I think this may be to do with the decoder rather than system
I've marked this as solved although I welcome any suggestions regarding these minor issues. The open-vm-tools one I can probably sort out but it's too late now to look into tonight

Vmware Fusion Beta for Mac OSX Released Today

I don't know if this is the correct forum; if it's not, please pardon me.
VMware Fusion Beta for Mac OSX has been released today. This product, while the developers admit has some bugs in it, promises to make virtual computing a whole lot easier and would eliminate for many (not all) the need to use Boot Camp. The link for this new program is http://www.vmware.com/products/beta/fusion/
On that page you can find links for support and forums as well.
If you need a free virtual appliance to use with Fusion, then use this link http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/
Currently, there is no charge for using the BETA program. The VMWare folks are asking people to give feedback on their use of the product.
This is what we've been waiting for to purchase our new MAC. I can say without a doubt that from my own experience with Linux boxes, VMWare is the best virtual solution on the market. It's easy to configure and supports a wide variety of hardware and OSs. I can even move the virtual machines I created under Linux to my new MAC when I receive it.
The time has finally dawned for me to retire the last remaining pc towerbox in my home. My wife and I recently expunged one of those machines earlier this week and are eagerly looking forward to getting rid of the other one.
We am really looking forward to purchasing the new Mac Pro. What makes it especially appealing for us is it's scalability and the fact that we can use our current hardware,including our Kensington Track Ball mouse and current monitor with it, although we are taking a serious look at a new Apple Display as well.
Many thanks to everyone for taking the time to read this post. I am looking forward to joining and my wife is looking forward to rejoining the MAC community.

You might try the VMWare beta forum:

Creating a thin client network in VMWare Workstation

I have recently been informed that many our customers have a thin client network in place using Microsoft RDP, Terminal Services / Remote Desktop Services.
What I would like to do is create a virtual thin client network using Server 2008 | Server 2008 R2 | Server 2012. What I am not certain of is how to emulate the "desktop" environments for the clients and how to configure VMWare to work with this type of network.
Is this possible?
I admit that I have never configured a TS before, so hopefully someone here has done this before and can provide some pointers.
I have been searching Google for information but so far have come up short. Perhaps my search criteria is wrong.
I have VMWare Workstation 10 and access to MSDN for a number of ISOs.
Thank you.

Not able to install server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .

Dear Team,
Thanks in advance.
I am facing an issue when installing server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .
This is the error message i get ''windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
i have tried changing the initial install option of OS to ''other''. But still its the same.
Finally i have installed it without adding the OS disk in the initial setup. But the problem here is that its asking me activation key.
if you have the activation key for 180 days please let me know.

I have the same problem here.
With VMWare Workstation 10, downloading and using the Windows 2012 R2 ISO evaluation to test.
Shortly after booting up with the ISO, it complains about this message: ''windows cannot find the microsoft software
license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
BUT, if you uninstall VMWare Workstation 10 and install VMWare Workstation 9, no problem.
Something wrong with either VMWare Workstation 10 or Windows 2012 R2.

Bootable ISO not recognized by Hyper-V on Win 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit - VMware Workstation understands perfectly

I activated Hyper-V on my fully patched Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit host PC and tried to create a Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine that should have installed from the bootable ISO (the one I downloaded from my MSDN subscription) for Windows Server
2008 R2, but when the VM starts, it goes through its boot device progression and fails to recognize the ISO as bootable. No amount of coaxing will convince Hyper-V to use the bootable ISO to install the operating system in the VM.
To see if there was an issue with the ISO, I removed Hyper-V from the host (because, as I discovered, VMware refuses to run when Hyper-V is present) and then fired up VMware Workstation 10, pointed it to the exact same ISO and it created the VM from that
ISO just fine. That proves there is nothing wrong with the ISO image.
I'm new to Hyper-V since I've been using VMware Workstation for quite some time and figured it was high time I began to make the switch to Hyper-V (since I'm paying for it anyway).
What setting(s) do I need to adjust to insure that Hyper-V sees the bootable ISO properly so it will install that OS in the virtual machine?
If you think development is tough now, think how hard it was using punched cards :-)

I followed the Hyper-V wizard instructions to the letter, including telling it the full path to where the ISO I wanted to use in creating my very first VM is located. I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that the Hyper-V wizard mounted that ISO on whatever
device it deemed appropriate, hopefully one that is in the boot device sequence. It all was very straight-forward and easy to understand; however, it doesn't work.
The corresponding wizard in VMware Workstation 10 fully understands the ISO and proceeds with its "Easy Install" process without anything else except the license key.
I didn't capture a video of the failed Hyper-V boot process, but to summarize, it went through its "progression" of devices and simply never found the ISO that I had previously designated.
Despite its seeming simplicity, the Hyper-V creation wizard doesn't perform what it is instructed to do while the equivalent VMware Workstation 10 wizard works flawlessly.
If you think development is tough now, think how hard it was using punched cards :-)
