http://serverfault.com – I have VM Workstation 8.0.2 installed on a host with OS as Ubuntu 64 bit 12.04 32 CPUs 64 GB of RAM 4 x Intel NICs each 1Gbps speed My guest VM is 32bit Ubuntu 10.10 4GB of RAM 4 CPUs 2 Virtual NICs at speeds of 1000Mbps (I checked with ethtool) VMWare client tools installed (and reinstalled several times) I get max of 120 Mbps between the guest and the host (measured using many tools; i.e. iperf and cp over NFS4 from and to guest). On the other hand, the performance of the host (where the VM Work Station 8 is installed) to another hos (HowTos)

I have a Windows 7 x64 machine running VMware Workstation along with a Windows XP x86 guest.

The Windows XP machine can ping every machine on my network, as expected, but none of them are able to ping the other way round.

I'm running VMware Workstation 8 on SLES 11 x64 host. 4 NICs on host.

VLAN set up on private range eg ip 10.2.0.122, vlan ID 10 on NIC 1.

Ping in and out fine.

Run VM guest, bridged, on host's NIC 4. The guests NIC 1 is DHCP. Can ping in and out.

SWitch DHCP off i nguest, I set up vlan0 in the guest with public IP eg 194.44.80.145 with vlan id 11, now can't ping in/out?

I have ubuntu running as a guest in vmware player. I have installed the vmware tools, and everything was going smoothly. I was able to copy paste texts between host & guest. But yesterday I tried with lubuntu and played around a bit with display managers. But suddenly copy pasting texts between host and guest is not working. I have re-installed vmware tools.

i have the following situation, i have a kvm host ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit network host speed is perfectly run , as i am testing network speed using iperf , the speed between any network device and the kvm host is perfect running with 1GB/s but guest network speed is slow and the test result like 500 MB/s with any network device or with the host itself , although when i migrate this guest to anoth

VMware 9 workstation. VMware Tools finally installed (worked aroung gcc and kernel-headers problem).

On Win7 64-bit host, folder C:\Users\Public\AIRLOCK is shared with Everyone having Full Control, Change and Read Access.

On the F18 64-bit guest, using VMware Edit Options, Shared Folders is always enabled and the only folder, with share name AIRLOCK, has host path C:\Users\Public\AIRLOCK

I have a Qemu-KVM host system setup on CentOS 6.3. Four 1TB SATA HDDs working in Software RAID10. Guest CentOS 6.3 is installed on separate LVM. People say that they see guest performance almost equal to host performance, but I don't see that. My i/o tests are showing 30-70% slower performance on guest than on host system.

hello I have a Acer Aspire 7730ZG laptop with Intel pentium dual core processor T4200 I have Fedora 13 x86_64 installed as the host with VMware-Workstation-Full-7.1.0-261024.x86_64 installed. When I try to start Vmware workstation install of fedora 12 x86_64, I get a error:

I have virtualbox 4.1 on a ubuntu 12.04 host. On my host I have a virtual interface eth0:1 configurend as 10.0.1.1. I have a few virtual machines using bridged adapters, configured in the 10.0.1.0 net which I can reach (ping, ssh, ...) from my host via the virtual interface.

Now I installed an ubuntu server 12.04 in a virtual box, again using bridged adapter, but I can not reach that host.

Hi there,I've installed Arch Linux as a guest, and have followed the guide pretty well. I however came across a problem where I'm not able to start Unity even though I've successfully installed open-vm-tools and modules. It tells me that vmware tools isn't installed and that it can't change the resolution.
