I clearly understand that the guide says the Hypervisor Supported are VMware ESXI. But I want to use it in my VMware workstation.
I have downloaded ovf template and installed it on the Workstation. the installation was completed quickly but in the CLI login, I'm getting stucked.
So my question is , If i can work on VMware workstation? or are there any workaround to get it resorted ? In vmware workstation, I have built PA labs using VM series Images before . I don't know if this trial image has any particular restrictions!
Might need to boot into maintenance mode and factory reset the configuration prior to it coming up fully. The trial specifically seems to be having an issue actually booting without that step. Workstation will support the VM just fine, even if it's not officially supported.
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.
@Christoph Schulze - - login - we have a banner at the top, but to start with, check under workstation for your licenses. I can't tell if your account is affected by the issue the team is working on. If it is, I would escalate to Broadcom Customer Care Community
@Brad Lambert - the team is updating the portal banner as details are released. I'm also moving this thread to the Broadcom Customer Care Community where @Ravi Kumar.P and team can monitor. Thx for your patience. Jason Platform Admin
Hello Jason. Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I don't have this view at all.
Obviously I have to wait. An extremely poor approach in the interests of paying customers. What do I care about customers, cheers to capitalism.
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?
In fusion (not workstation) you can get to the config file directly by right-clicking on the VM while holding down the option key and selecting Open Configure file in Editor in the menu. In workstation I think it's control instead of option. Should work the same.
Introduced more than nine years ago, VMware Workstation accelerates software development and testing, provides rapid provisioning and resetting of multi-tier environments, enables pre-production testing of new desktop and server applications in secure, easy to manage virtual machines and allows users to run any application on their preferred operating system.

Starting Windows 11 works up until the second he starts the GUI. It just freezes the exact moment before the login manager should show up :( (the whole VM, nothing works anymore, not even stopping. I have to kill vmware-vmx to get rid of it).
edit: 6.9.10
edit 2: reverting to 17.5.2-1 all is fine
forgot: standard arch kernel here
side note on 17.5.2-1 to: the vmware gui is anyway a bit freezy, there is lag and sometimes it's difficult to switch from a vm to another. only me?
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.
