много файлов виртуальных дисков

Доброе утро всем!!!!!!!

Я вчера решил увеличить виртуальный диск в моей виртуальной машине так как туда уже ни чего не помещалось.

Я нашел инструкцию как увеличить емкость жеского диска, но когда я зашел в директорию на хостовой машине где находятся файлы виртуальной машины то к удивлению увидел много файлов виртуальных жестких дисков и все они отличались номером от 0 до 12. Мне казалось всегда что файл виртуальнго жесткого диска виртуальной машины должен быть один.

По этому возникает вопрос по чему у меня их много? И как их обьеденить? И как сделать что бы больше такого не было что много фалов виртуальных дисков. Использую VMware 12 work station. Хостовой машиной является windows 7 x64

Спасибо

n Windows 10, VMware Workstation "USB Arbitration Service" won't start automatically at login. I have only one user for PC and it logged in automatically without password.

I looked into Windows services after a successful login, the "USB Arbitration Service" says it planned to start automatically in login, but it don't. I started it manually every time after login.

1.jpg

Than, it started running normally. However, it resetted every login.

After that, I power on the VM. If I did not do it, VM can't see the USB devices. I'm using Workstation 15.0.3 How can I fix it ? Thanks.

virtual printer driver updates

I just updated to Workstation Pro v15.0.4 (from 15.0.2).  Virtual printing is still enabled. Under the VM menu I see that "Install Virtual Printer" is there which confuses me.  Unlike with VMware tools, this does not over to "reinstall" or to "update", just "install".

 

Question:  When/How should I update the Virtual Printer?

Windows Guests have AWFUL Sound

Hi, so I installed VMWare Workstation 15.0.4, and I installed 2 VMs: Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, and Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64. Both have excellent performance for general tasks, however, the sound is terrible. It's VERY choppy, distorted and earrape-like. I installed VMware Tools on both of these VMs, I did try uninstalling the VMware Tools Audio Driver for W7 though, but no such thing for XP guests. Is there any way of getting rid of this sound that hurts my ears greatly?

Linux guests have constant UI problems...

I have a linux guest running Debian Buster (though this problem goes much further back) under a Windows 10 host. I have "Accelerate 3D graphics" enabled, with 2GB of graphics memory allocated. This VM has most of the resources of my workstation dedicated to it.

 

I'm getting, fairly frequently, errors in dmesg that look like this:

 

[255847.503765] [drm:vmw_cmdbuf_work_func [vmwgfx]] *ERROR* Command "SVGA_3D_CMD_DX_SET_QUERY_OFFSET" causing device error.

There are usually a few hundred of these former errors before the segfault. Once I get a few segfaults, the entire guest locks up. Sometimes the segfaults look more directly like they came from the driver: those are the ones that fully lock the machine.

 

The easiest (though not only) way of recreating this is to open vscode and use it for a while. Many other electron apps will eventually cause the same issue. That said, it's probably a bad sign that

 

Turning off the accelerate 3D option isn't really a workable solution, as the applications become unbearably and unusably slow.

 

Does anyone know of a workaround or fix? I'm getting awfully close to getting rid of the workflow I've been using for many, many years.

Connecting Extra USB HID Device to VMware Workstation VM Automatically on Startup

Hi,

 

How can I connect an extra HID device (for example, an extra mouse and keyboard unifier) at VM startup for Windows 10 guest? I'm using VMware Workstation 15.0.3 on Windows 10 host machine.

 

I can connect non-HID USB devices like USB pen automatically to VM and VM remembers it at every start and don't connect it to host machine.

 

However, I cannot find an easy solution for a HID device. PC have its own mouse and keyboard. Extra HID devices will be used for guest only.

 

How can I do it ? Thanks.

My VMs are Windows 7 and Windows 10.

 

I can ping VMs from my host machine, but cant ping my host from VMs, why? I enabled "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)" on both sides but still not working.

Defrag and Compact crash on 15.0.4

Hello,

 

on 15.0.4 I noticed that the VMware Workstation interface for Windows (where you mangage your VMs) crashes by just disappearing in this condition:

 

- defrag or compact a NVMe disk which has the size of ca. 600GB while the physical drive has 50GB free.

 

When the NVMe disk has the size of 300GB the pyhsical drive also had ca. 350-400GB free space and it worked fine.

 

So you need to have the exact amount of free space to defrag or compress a disk ?

Workstation doesn't recognise my certificate tokens anymore on v15.0.4

Hello,

 

I use an usb token with an EV Code Signing certificate on it in order to sign the programs I write.
It all ran fine until v15.0.3.
After upgrade to v15.0.4, my certificate aren't recognized anymore.

 

So I restored Windows to previous system restore point, and got v15.0.3 back again and it now runs fine

 

I won't ugrade to v15.0.4, but I hope that next versions will solve this !

If you encountered the same, please tell me if you found a way to solve this !

 

Thanks a lot.

How to disable virtual disk buffering/caching used in 15.x but not in 12.5.x?

March 31, 2019, 4:29 am

Recently, I wrote about high kernel latency issues in Windows guests under 15.0.x, that is not observed in 12.5.x.

 

Disabling CPU policy patches added in 12.5.9 does not fix the issue, and 12.5.9 with default settings does not cause a noticeable kernel latency increase.

 

Today, I noticed that 15.0.x uses additional virtual disk buffering/caching that is not observed in 12.5.x.

 

In 12.5.x, chkdsk on 15GB virtual SCSI disk (mapped to a VMDK file created on the mechanical host SATA HDD) always completes in 11 s, regardless of first or successive executions. DPC latency tests (for example, DpcLat) ran at the same time, show no noticeable DPC latency increase. Average DPC latency is less than 1 ms in Windows 7 guest.

 

In 15.0.x, chkdsk takes about 11 s for the first execution, but each successive execution takes no more than 3 s. In that time, DPC latencies are increased up to dozens and even hundreds of milliseconds.

 

This means that 15.0.x uses a kind of additional virtual disk buffering/caching, and buffered data are processed synchronously, affecting guest ISR/DPC latencies. Such latencies, in particular, cause audio/sound crackling problems.

 

Unfortunately, virtual disk buffering is almost not documented. I experimented with "hard-disk.useUnbuffered", "aiomgr.buffered", "aiomgr.unbuf" or "aiomgr.simple", and found that "hard-disk.useUnbuffered=true" helps to almost remove huge kernel latency spikes, but does not eliminate them at all. And with this option, VM disk performance is much slower than under 12.5.x with default settings (and no huge spikes).

 

Does somebody know how to disable such aggressive virtual disk buffering in 15.0.x, forcing it to behave like 12.5.x?

to *.vmx file

 

cardreader simply dissapears from device list after guest restart. I basically list is empty. tried USB 2/3 on different controllerson asus RIVE - same.

connecting via a virtual switch

Ello all:)

 

I have used vmware a little bit but i am un-sure of how the networking side of it works.

 

Here is what i want to do. I have a virtual machine that is connecting to my sftp server on the same pc but it is doing it through the public ip or a domain name i setup. I would rather have it connect through a virtual lan, basically if i remove my physical switch and router, i would still be able to connect to the sftp server.

 

is this the default behavior of vmware? or do i need to set up the network differently?

 

thanks

I have software that has a detect hardware on network feature that is not working from within VMware workstation pro.  It works directly installed on a PC and in virtual box but not in VMware 15.0.4.  I am assuming VMware is either blocking a port or a broadcast message but i do not know how to fix.  The software is Automation direct productivity suite if that helps.

VMWARE Virtual PC

Добрый день. Есть несколько вопросов в плане виртуальных машин.

1. Когда мы создаем виртуальную машину, там у нас есть: Количество процессоров, количество ядер.

Процессор появляется программными средствами или создается при помощи ядер физического сервера? Допустим хотим добавить два vCPU. Откуда они берутся, из ядер или откуда?

С чем то же должен быть связан vCPU.

Хотя предполагаю, что это как виртуальное, программное устройство и можно выбрать как 1, 2, 3 и тд. vCPU

Но ядра уже берутся из физической машины, с ними связаны.

2. Что будет эффективней в виртуальной машине 2 vCPU с 2 ядрами к примеру или 1 vCPU с 2-4 ядрами?

3. Так же вопрос vmWARE WorkStation использует только физические ядра или потоки тоже? Допустим у меня 2 ядра и 4 потока. Я же могу указать под виртуальную машину 4 ядра? Как Виртуальная машина определяет, поставил я ядра или потоки? Если я поставлю количество 12 к примеру, но у меня столько не будет ядер и потоков. Она тоже запустится и по какому принципу будет работать?

4. Параметры Виртуальный Intel VT-x/EPT или AMD-V/RVI что означает? Счетчик производительности виртуализации процессора? Виртуализация IOMMU? В каких случаях их выставлять надо, в каких нет.

Unable to Restore an Acronis True Image of a Windows 10 Backup to Worksation Pro 12.5

I am attempting to use Acronis Universal Restore a TIB backup file to a VM on Workstation Pro 12. I have followed all the steps I am aware of. However, the restore only gets to around 20% when I receive an error "Cannot find device driver 'PCI\VEN_15AD&DEV_07E0&SUB07E015AD&REV_00' "Windows Recovery Environment".

2019-04-02 17_34_50-Yvonne-One-VM - VMware Workstation.png

During this procedure I created the Acronis Universal Restore Bootable Media based on the windows.iso found in the VMware install directory of "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\". I note that when I extracted the drivers from this ISO file I only find listings for Vista and Win8 with no mention of Windows 10?

2019-03-25 21_13_47-IsoBuster - Pro - 4.3 (2).png

 

I have been in contact with Acronis support on this issue and they are suggesting that I need an ISO file and drivers for Windows 10 or else I need to update my VMware Pro 12.5 to the latest version.

 

Any support with this issue would be appreciated. I understand that this problem involves two different products and this is making it more difficult for me to find a soloution.

Hello everyone,

I  have made a copy of a virtual machine and I want to load it on another vmware installation in another PC.

But because of software activation in my virtual machine I need to keep unchanged uuid.location of the virtual machine. Even if I write it in the .vmx file it changes every time the machine boots .

Is tit possible to keep my old uuid.location value unchanged?

Thanks
