I'd like to display Virtual Machines (VMWare Workstation on Windows 7 host) as their own windows instead of as tabs in the VMWare Workstation menu, similar to how VMs are handled with VMWare Fustion on the Mac.
Just drag the tab out of the VMWare window and take it to the other monitor. If that's what you mean. It will create a new solitary window with the other running OS in it. Have done that on Ubuntu, and it should work the same for Windows 7.
Create a new shortcut to your vmware.exe and modify the target line under shortcut properties.
Append -n which tells vmware to open a new window instead of a new tab. At last add the path to the VM you wish to open.
Dragging tabs does not work for me in WS 10, neither over the desktop, nor into a new window. Opening a new window already starts a second copy of vmware.exe, so there is no difference to doing that manually.
Using VMware 10 I was able to have this happen by going to File->New Window, which should be the second option in the file drop-down menu, which should be in the upper-left hand corner. Then, you simply activate the system through the new window that opens up. But beware! If your original instance of VMware still has ownership, then your second instance won't be able to take permission. Hope this helps! Wish I could tell you authoritatively how to change ownership. What worked for me was removing (right click the VM in the side-bar) from the original VM instance, then simply resuming it in the new one. I'm worried about how that might come to bite me in the future, but we'll see.
I have a Virtual core win 2019 server with several drives that are the same size. I now need to extend the size of one of the drives but have no idea which hard disk in the VM (vmware) it is?
Has anyone got any life hack suggestions for this?
My Host conf is : windows 10 Pro with VMware Workstation Player 16.2.3 (latest).My Guest conf is : Ubuntu 2204 LTS Desktop with standard install (so using open-vm-tools-deskop package included, I didn't install the VMware tools proposed by VMware Workstation Player).
By updating /etc/fstab with the line above then rebooting the Guest, now I am able to see the folder "_Shared".Then I am able to move files from Guest to Host and Host to Guest (attribute "Enabled" set on Host side for this folder).
Note that enabled this folder share allows now the copy/paste (by right clicking) from Guest to Host, to any target folder on Host (before this setting, the copy/paste was only working from Host to Guest).I used it to easily copy/paste small files (didn't know the max size allowed)
I have solved this problem , i think you have configured the wrong subnetmask on the respective interface , I assumed you have configured /32 for the ip address but you need to change it to /24 if your network belong to /24

I found a couple of entries on this topic but they were from 2011. Is anyone using VMware backups to backup a Windows cluster? My client based policies backup C: and System State on the invidual nodes and ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES on the virtual node. Do I have to configure different backups with VMware based backups? Is it even possible?
Hi Randy, you can leverage netbackup for vmware backup procedure ( snapshot backup) and you select ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES as backup selections. This will ensure entire VM is snaps at the time of backup which will include system states incase of recovery need.
