Vmware Workstation شرح

You're right to act as soon as it starts, but don't just hit a key. You have to mouse click to enter the VM, and then hit the key (F2 for BIOS or ESC for boot menu) F12 for network boot though I haven't used network boot.
When the virtual machine starts, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a hand cursor, but you are not in the virtual machine unless you click, and then the cursor will disappear. Then, it will respond to key presses.
You can also edit the vmx file of the virtual machine, and add the line bios.bootDelay = "15000" (15000 milliseconds is 15 seconds but you can change it to whatever) and you get another screen that offers the same keys and a 15 second delay to hit them. Of course, you have to click first. You might want to shorten it from 15 seconds. But if you've been missing it you might appreciate the screen being there for 15 seconds, then change it once you've figured out how to do it.
Another option is "power on to firmware", try it, it goes to the BIOS. It's in the menu when right clicking a VM, or in the VM menu at the top. And in some versions of vmware workstation it's "power on to BIOS". In my version it's "power on to firmware" but it goes to the BIOS
This adds a delay to the initial POST screen, showing it for longer and giving you more time to access the BIOS setup, where xxxx is the number of milliseconds to show the POST screen. (There are 1000 milliseconds in a second.) The maximum value for the boot delay is 10000 milliseconds or 10 seconds.
It is not support by Aruba officially but you can install it on vmware workstation. After installation, before powering up the VM, edit the VM and just add another hard drive with 80Gb or more capacity. You are good to go!
I imported the vmdk file to Workstation and then mounted the ISO to the machine. However, it keeps asking me the installation file. Can you ellaborate a little on what you mean by Importing the VM. I don't believe there's an option for that in Workstation. Not that proficient in it though.
Multiple versions of the same packages.
Out of date packages.
Broken or only partially working packages.
Improperly configured packages which download unnecessary dependencies, or do not download necessary dependencies, or both.
Malicious packages (although extremely rare).
If you do do it manually try you will most likely run into library incompatibilities and you will need to compile the kernel modules by hand and this you will have to do it on every subsequent kernel update.
Due to my job and the professional aspect I have used licensed versions but I stopped at v12.5 - and I have not yet met any member on this forum who can clearly explain to me the benefits of VMware over VirtualBox.
here Best way to install vmware workstation - #12 by linux-aarhus
you told me to run sudo pacman -Syu linux511-headers without the dkms
should i do it now?
looking in pamac,i see i have dkms 2.8.4-1 installed;is it the same?
At this step, you should be able to navigate to :8123 in a web browser. The HA gui will state that it may take up to 20 minutes to complete, but in my experience it took less than 5.
While you are waiting, remove your USB dongle from your raspberry pi and plug it into your Windows 10 PC that has VM Workstation Player installed. Windows should detect it automatically and install all necessary drivers.
Thank you so much for taking the time to document and share this. I got part way through the instructions provided in the official documentation and realized I was just heading down yet another rabbit hole. I was very relieved to find your post and even more so when it actually worked.
I have the VMWare up and running with the banner showing. The only difference I see is that there are no lines for the login. The ha prompt is showing and I can execute the ha commands. The problem is that when I bring up a browser on port 8123 I get a timeout. Any suggestions on troubleshooting this?
Same problem here, I checked only one Network adapter and Network manager problem seems gone, but Kernet Time Sync still fails.
Also IPv4 addresses for enp2s1 is empty. And I can not access HAOS by any address (localhost, laptop IP)
OS version: 8.2
Fixed:
After checking up only one Network Adapter I should remove old HAOS-0.vmdk and replace it with fresh downloaded vmdk.
But still have a problem with Kernel Sync Time. It slows booting for 1.5 mins.
You can also specify which network card to use(in case you have multiple) in the virtual network configurator:
Unfortunately, this option is only available in the VMWare16 workstation, not in the Player
I have just installed Vmware Workstation 14 for testing. When I try to load (start) a guest I get the following message: This host does not support virtualizing real mode. The Intel "VMX Unrestricted Guest" feature is necessery to run this virtual...
This is an upstream issue. VMware used to provide a separate free server package for Linux and Windows. But at the same time they started to develop dedicated cloud solutions, they had integrated the server package into VMware Workstation, hence discontinued a separate free server product. But after a while they completely discontinued and stopped shipping it, even inside a VMware Workstation, advising users to consider some of their cloud solutions.
While it's a completely marketing policy decision, because VMware LLC, like any private software company, tries to maximise profits from their proprietary technologies. And it will be hard for them to justify dedicated cloud project price tags while still shipping the free server product. But these server technologies aren't discontinued, they just continue to evolve in other projects.
Hello, thank you very much for providing this package. I was trying to follow this part of the guide _services but I got stuck in finding out the server binaries are no more there. May I ask what happened to them? I saw you had them included until workstation 15 and then eventually disappeared in 16 and now 17. Is there any plan on bringing them back? Thank you in advance.
@ihipop Yes, I have read the instruction. If you go to check the vmware-networks.service, you will find that the service wants vmware-networks-configuration.service, which will run the configuration service first.
@ihipop Thanks for your advice. My situation is that I loaded the kernel modules first and start the vmware-networks.service directly. Now the network is working for my virtual machines, but I cannot open the network editor.
