I'm running 32-bit Windows 2003 R2 in VMware 6.0.3 on my Windows XP 32-bit host OS. I have run all the Windows updates, but haven't done any other tweaking. About once every hour (but not quite on a schedule) my CPU usage goes to 100%, slowing everything down for about 1 minute. When I can get taskmgr up, I see that usually a process cal...
I'm currently experimenting with build script, and since I have an ASP.net Web Part under source control, my build script should do that at the end: Grab the "naked" Windows 2003 IIS VMWare or Virtual PC Image from the Network Boot it up Copy the Files from the Build Folder to the Server Install it Do whatever else is needed I have n...
With VMWare Server running under Linux (Debain), I would like to have the following setup: 1st NIC being used by many of the images running under VMWare, as well as being used by the Linux OS 2nd NIC being used by only 1 image and to be unused by the Linux OS (as its part of a DMZ) Although the second NIC won't be used by Linux, it ...
I have a VMware 6 Workstation installation running on my XP 64-bit host OS. I have a 32-bit Windows 2003 guest. I simply want to be able to put something on the clipboard in one world and paste it into the other world, but the clipboards seem entirely distinct. I see the "Guest Isolation" setting for my VM, and it's set to allow both ...
I am using xampp on Windows, but I would like to use something closer to my server setup. Federico Cargnelutti tutorial explains how to setup LAMP VMWARE appliance; it is a great introduction to VMware appliances, but one of the commands was not working and it doesn't describe how to change the keyboard layout and the timezone. ps: the...
Two RAID volumes, VMware kernel/console running on a RAID1, vmdks live on a RAID5. Entering a login at the console just results in SCSI errors, no password prompt. Praise be, the VMs are actually still running. We're thinking, though, that upon reboot the kernel may not start again and the VMs will be down. We have database and disk ba...
I am considering buying an Apple MAC book Pro, are than any pitfalls developing C#/.NET code in a Virtual Machine running on a MAC? For this purpose, is it better to run Vista or XPPro? ...
I'm curious for all your Mac users out there which virtualization software you use and why? I've been a VM Ware user for Windows for years and have been running Parallels on my Mac (mainly because VM Ware was in Beta when I got Parallels). I'm curious if many folks have had experience with both, which may be better, pros and cons of ea...
My automated script for staring and stopping VMWare Server virtual machines has stopped working. vmware-cmd has started raising the error: "The ordinal 3288 could not be located in the dynamic link library LIBEAY32.dll." I am not aware of any specific change or update when this started happening. I have found a bunch of other people...
I've been having a very tough time with VMWare tools for Ubuntu Hardy. For some reason, vmware-install.pl finds fault with my linux headers. Saying the "address space size" doesn't match. I have resorted to vmware-any-any-update117 and here is the error I am getting now: In file included from include/asm/page.h:3, from ...
Are there any good sites or URLs with video tutorials for using the various VMWare products (mainly Player and Server, but the other products would be interesting to see to)? I have found some paper documentation, but I think it would be interesting if there were some multimedia based videos to get myself oriented first. ...
I work for a .NET/MSSQL shop that has trouble supporting customers running Novell, partially because we don't have Novell (or the money for it) and partially because we have no one with Novell experience. This question could easily be expanded to "How can we improve our support of technology X when we don't have technology X?" Obviously,...
I'm looking to replace a couple of machines in the office with a more powerful multi-processor machine running either VMware or Microsoft's Hyper-V with a view to hosting a mix of Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 and Linux operating systems. The machines are used mainly for testing ASP.Net or Perl web sites. I don't need advanced...
Ok, here's a very short and to the point question. When trying to import a virtual PC 2004 Windows 2003 Server VM in VM Workstation 6.0.2 I'm getting an error 'unable to determine guest operating system'. Soo how to fix? ...
I'd love to be able to try Mac OSX in a VM, preferable on something shiny and new like KVM for linux. I'm a Linux and Windows person, but would like to try out OSX without investing in the expensive hardware or accumulating yet another box to fit somewhere under my desk. (Read: no I don't want to get a Mac Mini) Is this possible? Legal...
What VMs can be used for 3D programming? I was disappointed to find out that VMware products only have experimental support and even that only for 2D acceleration. ...
I have the vmware server with this error, anyone knows how to fix it? ...
I have just got a MacBook Pro and have been using it (+Fusion) to develop on for about a month now. The purpose of this question is similar to Hidden Features of C#; to become a how-to of tips and trick for windows development on a mac. I should clarify that I am aware of boot camp but do not use it (nor do I have any interest to), hen...
Can I run a 64-bit VMWare image on a 32-bit machine? I've Googled this but there doesn't seem to be a conclusive answer. I know that it would have to be completely emulated and would run like a dog - but slow performance isn't necessarily an issue as I'm just interested in testing some of my background services code on 64-bit platforms...
I've just created a new Windows XP VM on my Mac using VMware Fusion. The VM is using NAT to share the host's Internet connection. How do I access a Rails application, which is accessible on the Mac itself using http://localhost:3000? ...
