Is there a simple way to copy a VMware virtual machine? I want to do this for a few reasons, including making multiple backups of a machine's state, and duplicating system configurations so I can try out different ways of setting up a server.

Hi, I've been asked to research creating a solution around VMWare ESX and VDI. This will require extensive use of the APIs for managing the solution. It will also look to leverage the VDM client. Can anyone recommend a good book which will get me started on this topic. Thanks. ...

Hello, I'm a VMware user and far too often I use keyboard shortcuts while programming. However, this has proved to be quite distressing as sometimes the VMware gets hold of it and turns off / pauses (ctrl+Z) the virtual machine. Is there a way to disable keyboard shortcuts on VMware? Has anyone here ever found a workaround? ...
I need to detect whether my application is running within a virtualized OS instance or not. I've found an article with some useful information on the topic. The same article appears in multiple places, I'm unsure of the original source. VMware implements a particular invalid x86 instruction to return information about itself, while Virt...
I have a need to run a relatively large number of virtual machines on a relatively small number of physical hosts. Each virtual machine isn't doing to much - each only needs to run essentially one basic network service - think SMTP or the like. Furthermore, the load on each is going to be extremely light. Unfortunately, the numbers are...
I've been hearing a lot about about how the new version of VMWare Fusion can run virtual operating systems in "headless mode". A Google search makes it clear that other virtualisation products also have similar features, however, I have not been able to find a good description of what this actually means? What is happening when you do ...
I have a virtual machine (made with vmware) with a linux ubuntu os installed on it (i have a series of them), with NAT network connection - i am running vmware on Windows XP (my host system); the virtual machine can't connect to the internet.

I'm currently working on a server-side product which is a bit complex to deploy on a new server, which makes it an ideal candidate for testing out in a VM. We are already using Hudson as our CI system, and I would really like to be able to deploy a virtual machine image with the latest and greatest software as a build artifact. So, how...
My mouse, in my virtual server virtual machine is all jittery, and not working smoothly. Outside the virtual machine it is fine. My mouse is set to use the VMWare Pointing Device, which it says is working properly. I've tried the sample rate in 100 and 200 reports/second and it makes no difference. Any ideas? ...
What are the key use cases for the use of virtualization -- that is, running one or more "virtual PCs" using software such as VMWare and Microsoft Virtual PC -- for software development? Also -- are there other instances/uses of virtualization that aren't covered by my definition above (use of a tool like MS Virtual PC or VMWare), and t...

Curious, how many of you develop under a VMware environment? Is it popular for employers to setup vmware for everyone?
