VI client doesn't let me add another virtual ethernet adapeter to a centos 5.2 guest vm on ESXi 3.5.
Is there a way to achieve this via some command like tricks?
On my PC I am currently running Fedora 12. I would like to convert that and the filesystem to a Virtual Machine, so that I can install Windows 7 as the main operating system and have this Fedora 12 as a VM in VMWare or VirtualBox or some such Desktop Virtualization system.
Is this possible and how if yes, how?
Hi,
Toast Titanium 10 offers a way of mounting an image into a virtual DVD drive so that it is viewed as being a separate physical drive by other applications.
I was wondering if there was a way of achieving the same result using the built-in OS X tools (whether GUI or command line), as I am aware it has many of such built in.
Thanks in advance!
I am looking for a web-based virtual machine manager, which will work on our Ubuntu server.
Ideally, I need something that our team can use to create a VM, test builds and packaging and then either restore to the original state or delete.
libvirt has an API, but I can't find any web apps using it.
Thanks
Need to do test configurations on (unfamiliar) Cisco/IOS equipment. Is there a virtual machine I can light up and use it in my test environment as a real firewall/edge/core router?
I have setup a lamp server in buntu 9.10 inside virtual box.. but does anybody know a way how to get wildcard subdomains working with this setup?
Is it possible to only setup a DNS for the virtualbox and use this only for the development envoriment?
Is it possible to make a linux virtual machine appear as the host machine to a network tool like nmap or Blue's Port Scanner without recompiling the kernel?
There is huge number of different formats for virtual storage files for desktop and server purposes (vmdk, qcow2, vdi, vdk, etc.). I'm writing a little script for manipulating them and would like the script to be able to distinguish between them.
Of course, it can be done via extension, but I want this to be more reliable. I tried commands file or qemu-img, but the results are not quite clear. Any idea improving my methods?
I have read this tutorial to and added this command in the file
vmrun start /media/VM/WindowXP/Windows XP Professional.vmx
I have also added one more line
echo "hello" >> /home/abc/test.txt
to check if script is runinng or not.
When i restart the ubuntu , then virtual machine does not start. But there are two "hello" in that text file
I don't know why two hellos but vm is not starting
I want to achieve following:
(Note I'd like to get this done first of all with Win7 as both host and vm OS)
Install Windows 7/xp/Windows 8 VM on Windows 7/Windows 8 host machine
Configure it so that I can connect to it via remote desktop.
This is because I use a screen reader software and audio output directly from VMs is not highly responsive. My software has a feature that it can connect to its copy on the remote machine (during rdp session) and then start receiving the text description which it translates into audio on the client (host in this case) machine.
I want to know:
Which VM software can let me do this – VMWare/Ms Virtual PC or VirtualBox
If it is possible with every VM software, could you give an example of how to do this with anyone of these 3? Specifically, I know how to install Windows on VM (on both VMWare/Virtual PC), but don't really know how to configure a network such that I can remote into that VM from host OS.
Hope it clarifies what I'm trying to achieve.
Hi,
Say I'd like to restrict access to a virtual host to multiple IP ranges. How to do that? The Perl regex syntax style doesn't work, and i don't want loose restrictions like 10.*
The code below works for a single range:
$HTTP["host"] == "adm.example.org" {
$HTTP["remoteip"] != "10.0.0.0/28" {
url.access-deny = ( "" )
}
}
Thanks in advance.
The eject button on my cd / dvd drive is broken.
I can still eject using windows explorer from the context menu.
I need to reinstall windows.
Is there a function key combination i can use from the boot up screen ?
I would like to use a unique way to use console on my windows setup. Previously I used putty for remote access to linux servers and cygwin to have unix-like tools on windows.
Then I discovered kitty which is a patched putty and have added the puttycyg patch. It provides the same way to connect to remote and local console.
However, there is a strange behavior using vim when connected to the local console (using the puttycyg patch) : keys display A/B/C/D and replace the current character by these letter.
In insert mode it does replace the caracter, in normal mode, no modification is made to the document even if the caracter is displayed as replaced.
For instance, when I type :
fixed bug with product deleted
I get :
fixed bbug wiwith prprodudueleteted
I have read a lot of questions about this type of issue 3, 4 and googled it but there is no answer that work for me.
The issue is present only for the setup kitty+puttycyg patch : cygwin alone works perfectly (and putty alone works also for access to linux servers).
Any help would be appreciated !
My Acer Aspire 1810TZ laptop suspends fine but wakes up on any slight key-press. I would like to disable this behaviour. I read that it involves disabling something in the /proc/acpi/wakeup but SLPB does not seem to be listed at all.

I'm sure I've just missed which tutorial/manual page covers this, but how do you add get the guest OS to recognize that you've added new drives to it without a reboot?
I have a RHEL5 guest running on ESX 4. I've added new virtual disks to the VM, but have not figured-out how to get the guest to recognize them without a reboot.
Is this possible? If so, how?
I am running Windows7 as a guest OS inside KVM running in Ubuntu Desktop 10.04
Everytime I do Alt+Tab within Windows7, the shortcut is caught by Ubuntu.
How can I 'trap' the shortcut to stay within the guest OS?
I tried running the guest OS fullscreen but Alt+Tab still escapes.
Running guest OS fullscreen with display scaled up seems to trap Alt+Tab within KVM, but somehow guest OS is running very very slowly in that mode.
Any idea?

We have an ESXi 4.1 server with 48 GB RAM.
For each VM, we are allocating 4GB of memory. Since the server will have 13 virtual machines, my manager thinks this is wrong.
I am going to explain to them that ESXi will actually manage memory itself, but they asked me how much memory I allocated for the ESXi server itself.
I did not allocate any (I have not even heard of an option for allocating memory for the ESXi server itself).
How is memory allocated for ESXi server? How does it over-allocate/distribute RAM among virtual machines without issue?
I like the "Hit-a-hint like navigation of links (start with f to follow a link)" feature of vimperator, but using that addon breaks some sites for me. And though I use Vim as an editor, I don't really need it in my browser.
Does anyone know of a Firefox Addon that does just that hit-a-hint like navigation?
Hi Everyone
I'm trying to configure apache 2.2 so that I can use two IPs. One for name based virtual hosts which should all use the same ssl-key and the other one for just one ip based host which should be using an other ssl-key. But it seems that when ever I get either the ip based or name based host to work the other one breaks.
Can someone tell me how to do this on a debian system or at least point me in the right direction?
Thanks
I came across a how-to guide for running Android 1.7 in a virtual machine (VirtualBox), but 1.7 is old. I haven't been able to find a Android 2.2 or 2.3 image anywhere, does anyone have any ideas on how to virtualize newer Android OS's? Preferably a free virtualization solution like VirtualBox.
Here is the link about virtualizing 1.7:
http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/14/run-android-using-a-virtual-machine-on-a-mac-or-windows-pc/
They send you to here to download Android disk images:
http://virtualboxes.org/images/android-x86/
But I can't find anything newer than 1.7, anyone have any ideas? Is this considered illegal or piracy is that why there are no images available?
Thanks for help!
I am new to Windows 2008 and IIS 7. With the default installation, IIS 7 has a Default Website. For my application, do I create a new Website outside of Default Website or createa Virtual Directory or Application within the Default Website?
Can someone explain the differences?
Thank you
I have a virtual machine with an internal IP address and a running mailserver with IMAP/POP3/SMTP.
Everything works fine except:
When I do an SSH tunnel to the guest server and want to connect to the mailserver with mail.*. then it does not work. There is a connection timeout.
But If i connect to the internal IP 192.168..* then it works.
So what can I do to enable the access from the domain name to the virtual machine with SSH tunneling?
