Direct 3d acceleration

$

I've tried researching this on my own and forgive me if I missed an obvious how-to but I'm attempting to enable direct3d acceleration on vmware server 2 beta.  I see experimental support for VMW but not for VMS2... can anyone confirm its not supported so I can try a different route? 

 

 

I havre debian lenny (amd64) as my host and xp 32 bit as the vm (missed the article on getting 64bit on as vm through bios... next time)

 

 

thanks for any help!

 

 


I need help with "no bootable device detected..."

$

My host is Vista home premium x64bit.  I was able to install vmware server 2 with no problems and created a virtual machine(ubuntu) with no problems.  When I try to start it, it goes to 95% status and just hangs.  the last event message is the infamous "no bootable device detected....".  I think its not recognizing my dvd drive which is E: on my host and I can't figure out why.  any help would be appreciated.

 

 

I created a windows xp vm and a ubuntu vm and get the same message about "no bootable device..." for both.

Hi All,

 

I came across this post in the woskstation discussions and its exactly the same issue as I am seeing:

 

http://communities.vmware.com/message/1509413

 

The issue is that I cannot disable the VMware USB Service on my host machine as it does not exist. Can any of you experts point me to how to disable this within VMware Server please?

 

Or would you know what part of VMware Server maybe conflicting with my broadband stick and advise me on how I can have both mobile broadband and vmware server running on the same host machine.

 

Thanks in Advance

Timing of java sleep

$

HI,

 

I'm using VMware server 2.0.2 on a 64 bit machine running centos 5.0. The guest os is centos 5.0 (32 bit).

 

I'm noticing that when I do a Thread.sleep in a java program in the guest os, it actually takes a lot longer than the specified time. For example a java sleep of 10 secs, results in an actual elapsed time of 19 secs most of the time. I used linux's time command to measure the actual elapsed time.

 

Has any one seen this before?

When NAT is used Guest OS can't setup TCP connection but UDP is ok

$
0
0

I'm using VMWare Server 2 on WIndows 7 x64 and set up VM with NAT connection to the host. However I just found I can connect to outside with UDP from the VM but TCP connections always fail.

 

Configuration is as follows:

 

Guest OS NIC:

IP 192.168.169.128

Default GW 192.168.169.2

 

NAT Device:

192.168.169.2 (DHCP & DNS are enabled)

 

VNet NIC on host machine (VNet8):

IP 192.168.169.1

 

I got quite a lot similar issue report from google. Someone said the host machine even is not pingable. But I found it's just due to the firewall setting. I can ping 192.168.169.1 and even outside network such as www.google.com. So using tracert, it appears the routing is ok. And not only ping, all other UDP connection is ok such as my IM can login and chat with others

 

I also found a related issue article about the unidentified network http://communities.vmware.com/thread/85154?start=0&tstart=0. I've follow the article to remove the VNet NIC from unidentified network category. Actually I even shutdown all Windows firewall. And for guest OS, I tried both WIndows XP & Ubuntu. Neither worked on TCP.

 

Some article mentioned Internet connection sharing. I tried but doesn't work either. And in face I don't need internet connection for I even can't TCP connect to the host machine.

 

I'm sure there should be some similar issue reports in this forum but now the forum search seems down. And I'm not sure if there's already a solution to this or it's just some limitation of VMWare in certain circumstances.

 

Thanks for the help in advance.

Quad Core host - disable or enable hyperthreading?

$
0
0

Dear all,

 

Thanks for taking the time.  New to the forum and to VMs.  I have read up as much as I can before posting but are not 100% sure of the answer to my question.  I know with old Intel processors, hyperthreading is recommended to be disabled.  On ESX with newer intels (nehalem and newer), the best practise recommends hyperthreading to be enabled.

 

However, this question is for the free VMware server, which only allows 2 vCPUs per VM.  My quad core xeon 3460 is showing 8 logical CPUs in task manager under windows 2003 R2.  This makes sense since it is 4 cores x 2 hyperthreads = 8 logical CPUs.  So now, if I run a VM and assigned 2 vCPUs to it, am I just using 1 physical core since hypertheading is enabled?  In other words, the 2 hyperthreads in 1 core counts as 2 logical cpus, which are then assigned as 2 vCPUs to the VM.  Is this how I should look at it?

 

On the other hand, if I disable hyperthreading, then the host will simply has 4 cores (translate to 4 logical cpus since no HT).  Then if I assign 2 vCPU to the same VM, would the VM be using 2 physical cores now?  Would this be more efficient ?

 

Recap:

option 1) Quad core, HT enabled = 8 logical CPUs.  Assign 2 to a single VM.  Using only 1 core physically.

option 2) Quad core, HT disabled = 4 logical CPUs.  Assign 2 to a single VM. Using 2 cores physically.

 

Which will give faster performance on the VM?  I am thinking option 2 since the VM will be using 2 cores physically, instead of 2 HTs on a single core in option 1.  Or am I just not looking at this properly?

 

 

Thank you again for your time.  Please shine some light to a newbie question.


pptp timeout on vm windows server 2008 r2

$

Hello,

 

on VMware Server 2.0.2 for Windows i have the following setup:

 

Host: Windows Server 2008 R2

VM: Windows Server 2008 R2

 

The VM has a bridged network adapter with its own public IP-Address connected to the internet and a VPN incoming connection is ready on the VM.

 

And here comes the problem:

The host CAN connect to the VM via VPN PPTP, but from outside a client computer cannot - it fails with a timeout.

 

In detail:

A client (e.g. Win7) trying to connect via VPN (PPTP) hangs at "Verifying user name password..." and after two minutes, the connections gets closed error 619. On the Host this failed connection is logged as Event ID 20252 "The user connected to port VPN3-127 has been disconnected because the authentication process did not complete within the required amount of time."

 

Other VPN models, e.g. SSTP work without a problem.

 

I have tried any setting with total firewall off etc. so from now on I assume a problem with the vmware virtual network adapter. It seems to fail to read the GRE- or PPTP Protocol.

Can't get traffic to route outside of network

I've been banging my head against the wall for nearly a week now, trying to get external access to my VMware LAN. Let me start out by explaining what I have.

 

First, I am running VMware Server 2.0.2 on a Windows Server 2008 box with a USB wireless adapter. Firewall is turned off. I have two guest servers:

 

DC1 has one virtual NIC (host-only on vmnet1) in a WIndows Server 2008 machine. It is a domain controller with AD integrated DNS. Firewall is turned off. TCP/IP is configured like this:

 

IP Address: 192.168.91.51

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

GW: 192.168.91.53

DNS: 127.0.0.1

 

RRAS has two virtual NICs (NIC1 is host-only on vmnet1 and NIC2 is bridged on vmnet0). It is a member server with RRAS installed, configured as a LAN router only. Firewall is turned off. TCP/IP is like this:

 

NIC1

IP Address: 192.168.91.53

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

GW:

DNS: 192.168.91.51

 

NIC2

IP Address: 192.168.254.107 (DHCP)

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

GW: 192.168.254.1

DHCP Server: 192.168.254.1

DNS: Provided by ISP

 

Now for the symptoms:

 

DC1 can ping both RRAS NICs, but cannot ping anything past it, nor can it ping the gateway (192.168.254.1). RRAS has full communication to the internet and all computers on the 192.168.254.0 network.

 

Since I've been hacking away at this problem for a while, I'm obviously missing something. The first step to troubleshooting is to verify all the facts (Trust, but verify <-- my favorite Ronald Reagan quote), so feel free to ask anything, even if it seems trivial.

 

Thanks for your help

I am having trouble with our Mail Server running on a VM under VMWare Server 2.

 

- For some reason, I was not able to log into VMware Infrastructure Web Access. I noticed that the VMware Host Agent was not running, and I tried restarting it but it kept stopping after I tried logging in.

In the past, when a virtual machine has problems, I've had some success using VMWare Converter on the afflicted VM - however in this case, even that is failing.

 

I found the following in one of the logs:

 

[#6] [2011-06-16 14:27:16.563 'App' 3152 verbose] [,0] DISKLIB-SPARSE: "----------000001-s011.vmdk" : failed to open (36872): Underlying file system does not support files that large.

checking the size of the file ending 000001-s011.vmdk reveals that the .vmdk has grown to a size of over 13GB!

 

The VM was set to be split into multiple files, and all other files in the folder remain at 1.99 GB (2,146,762,752 bytes) or less in size..

 

Based on the other files in the same folder, I suspect a snapshot was initiated back in early April. I am not sure why this 000001-s011.vmdk file has grown out of control since then, and even less sure of how to proceed in fixing this issue.

 

If anyone has any suggestions for recovery at this point, I'd appreciate your advice..

Windows 2003 Standard 4 CPU 4 GB memory limitation

$

Windows 2003 Standard has a 4 cpu and 4 GB memory recognition limitation.  But when virtualizing a physical server that is running Windows 2003 Standard, would it be possible to allocate more than 4 processors and more than 4 GB memory and then do something, for example with a parameter to customize how the virtual machine is using processor count, memory, through the VM properties > General > Configuration Parameters > adding or editing existing params such as the cpuid.coresPerSocket ... ???  Simply setting the memory to 8 GBs on a Windows 2003 Standard virtual machine would simply be a waste of resources, yes?  Can anything be done from the virtual side to get over these 2003 Standard limits?

VMware server 2.0.2 Bridged network not working

Hi,

 

I've just installed VMware server 2.0.2 on Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop and setted up 2 bridged network. One is bridged to a Ethernet card and the other one is bridged to a wireless card. My problem is that my virtual machine are unable to connect to the bridged network. I can set up an IP and access it from the host computer but not from the other computer on the network. When I am trying to use DHCP to set up a connection, it failed. The connection work perfectly on the host but not in the guest. I've tried on both the ethernet and wireless and nothing is working.

 

Can someone help me? Why does my bridged network don't work?

 

Thanks.

I tried to open page http://localhost:8222/sdk and it doesn't exist - maybe it should be enabled or something like this?

 

I can sucessfully open page: http://localhost:8222/ui/

 

 

Any idea?

Host-Only networking not working

$

Hi everyone,

 

I have been trying to get host-only networking working for two days now.

 

This is my setup:

 

Host: Debian 6.0.5, 64bit; VMware Server 2.0.2 build-203138; located in a data center

Guest: CentOS 6.2, 64bit

 

 

Host-only subnet is 172.16.1.* (VMNet 1). For testing purposes, I added NAT which is 172.16.8.* (VMNet8).

From my guest, I can ping 172.16.8.2. Pinging 172.168.1.1 does not work.

From my host, I cannot ping any of the guest IPs: 172.16.8.128 (which is assigned via VMWare-DHCP) results in 100% packet loss (but this is okay, since NAT only works in the opposite direction). Pinging 172.16.1.128 (again, assigned via VMWare-DHCP) also results in 100% packet loss.

 

Here is some (hopefully useful) information:

 

Host:

 

# uname -a
Linux Debian-60-squeeze-64-LAMP 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Sun May 6 04:00:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

 

 

# /etc/init.d/vmware status
At least one instance of VMware Server is still running.
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 is running
Host network detection is not running
Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 is running
DHCP server on /dev/vmnet1 is running
Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 is running
DHCP server on /dev/vmnet8 is running
NAT networking on /dev/vmnet8 is running
Module vmmon loaded
Module vmnet loaded

I'm wondering about that "Host network detection is not running" message, but googling around I didn't find any fix for that.

And routes from my guest:

0.0.0.0         172.16.8.2      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth4

 

Do you need any further information? Please help me fix this problem.

 

Thank you in advance,

Chris
