The VM will then come up without starting the Workstation GUI and you can ssh to it. If your host os is Windows change the path to: vmrun -T ws start C:\export\vmware\rh5\server.vmx nogui
ESX (i) is what is called a "type 1 hypervisor": a dedicated virtualization operating system running directly on the host hardware, with full access and control to hardware resources; Player/Workstation/Server are "type 2 hypervisors": they are applications running on an underlying operating system (Windows or Linux); they have to go through it to access hardware, and this is the main reason ...
You can create a shortcut to VMWare Player and pass it a parameter, where that parameter is the location of the VMX file. Then put that shortcut in your windows Startup folder. For example (Target): "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMWare Player\vmplayer.exe" "C:\Virtual Machines\Serve\Serve.vmx" I hope this is helpful
easy. Create a new virtual disk that is the size of the physical disk you want to copy. on the Machines sidebar list in Vmware, go to settings, select the disk, map it to a drive letter on the host machine, use your favorite imaging software to copy the physical disk to the VM disk.
Defragment the disks from within VMware Player. This will move the blocks in the VMDK from their chaotic state (due to growth/use) and order them by actual block number. Compact the disks from within VMware Player. Since the empty blocks are zeroed, VMware can remove those blocks from the VMDK and reclaim space on the host.
VMware Player is free for personal non-commercial use. VMware Player is only distributable with written permission from VMware. Please apply here to request a distribution agreement.
I'm presuming you're talking about VMware Workstation -- just move the files where you want them, remove the virtual disks from the VM configuration (don't delete them), then add virtual disks, select the option to add existing virtual disks, then locate your .vmdk files.
I virtualized an existing Windows XP partition using VMWare Converter, and I am running it from within a Windows 7 host. The original system had XP on drive C: and a large data drive on D: (too large to virtualize). From within VMware Player (before starting the VM), I go to Virtual Machine Settings, Hardware tab. I click Add and add a new hard ...
I'm trying to PXE boot a vm made by VMware Workstation on my local machine. On a separate subnet I have the PXE server and DHCP server. I do not want to use a TFTP server or use IP Helpers. When I boot the vm it receives an IP address from the DHCP server, but then searches for a TFTP server, which isn't on the network and I don't want to ...
I have created an XP in Fusion, which now runs under vmware player under Ubuntu 9.04. It works well. I found it hard to create new shared folders, and the player does not support snapshots. Other than that I have been very pleased - even Ctrl-Alt-Del works as expected.
