Using VMware Workstation Player for WindowsUsing VMware Workstation Player for Windows describes how to use VMware Workstation Player to create,configure, and manage virtual machines on a Windows host.Intended AudienceThis information is intended for anyone who wants to install, upgrade, or use Workstation Player on aWindows host.VMware, Inc.11

Using VMware Workstation Player for Windows12VMware, Inc.

Introduction and SystemRequirements2Workstation Player is a desktop application that lets you create, configure, and run virtual machines. Youcan also use Workstation Player to download and run virtual appliances.Host computers that run Workstation Player must meet specific hardware and software requirements.Virtual machines that run in Workstation Player support specific devices and provide certain features.This chapter includes the following topics:n“Host System Requirements for Workstation Player,” on page 13n“Virtual Machine Features and Specifications,” on page 16Host System Requirements for Workstation PlayerThe physical computer on which you install Workstation Player is called the host system and its operatingsystem is called the host operating system. To run Workstation Player, the host system and the hostoperating system must meet specific hardware and software requirements.Processor Requirements for Host SystemsYou must install Workstation Player on a host system that meets certain processor requirements.Supported ProcessorsThe host system must have a 64-bit x86 CPU with 1.3 GHz or faster core speed. Multiprocessor systems aresupported.When you install Workstation Player, the installer performs checks to make sure the host system has asupported processor. You cannot install Workstation Player if the host system does not meet the processorrequirements.Processor Requirements for 64-Bit Guest Operating SystemsThe operating system that runs inside a virtual machine is called the guest operating system. To run 64-bitguest operating systems, the host system must have one of the following processors.nAn AMD CPU that has segment-limit support in long modenAn Intel CPU that has VT-x supportIf you have an Intel CPU that has VT-x support, you must verify that VT-x support is enabled in the hostsystem BIOS. The BIOS settings that must be enabled for VT-x support vary depending on the systemvendor. See the VMware knowledge base article at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003944 for information abouthow to determine if VT-x support is enabled.VMware, Inc.13

Using VMware Workstation Player for WindowsWhen you install a 64-bit operating system, Workstation Player performs checks to make sure the hostsystem has a supported processor. You cannot install a 64-bit operating system if the host system does notmeet the processor requirements.Processor Requirements for Windows 7 Aero GraphicsTo support Windows 7 Aero graphics, the host system should have either an Intel Dual Core 2.2 GHz orlater CPU or an AMD Athlon 4200 or later CPU.Supported Host Operating SystemsYou can install Workstation Player on Windows and Linux host operating systems.To see a list of the supported host operating systems, search the online VMware Compatibility Guide on theVMware Web site.Workstation Player is not listed, but the information for Workstation Pro is applicable toWorkstation Player. Operating systems that are not listed are not supported for use in a virtual machine.Memory Requirements for Host SystemsThe host system must have enough memory to run the host operating system, the guest operating systemsthat run inside the virtual machines on the host system, and the applications that run in the host and guestoperating systems.The minimum memory required on the host system is 1 GB. 2 GB and above is recommended.To support Windows 7 Aero graphics in a virtual machine, at least 3 GB of host system memory is required.1 GB of memory is allocated to the guest operating system and 256 MB is allocated to graphics memory.See your guest operating system and application documentation for more information on memoryrequirements.Display Requirements for Host SystemsThe host system must have a 16-bit or 32-bit display adapter. Use the latest graphics driver recommendedfor the host system.To support Windows 7 Aero graphics, the host system should have either an NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT orlater or an ATI Radeon HD 2600 or later graphics processor.IMPORTANT 3D benchmarks, such as 3DMark '06, might not render correctly or at all when runningWindows Vista or Windows 7 virtual machines on some graphics hardware.14VMware, Inc.

Chapter 2 Introduction and System RequirementsDisk Drive Requirements for Host SystemsHost systems must meet certain disk drive requirements. Guest operating systems can reside on physicaldisk partitions or in virtual disk files.Table 2‑1. Disk Drive Requirements for Host SystemsDrive TypeHard diskRequirementsnnnOptical CD-ROM and DVDnnnFloppyIDE, SATA, and SCSI hard drives are supported.At least 1 GB free disk space is recommended for each guest operating systemand the application software used with it. If you use a default setup, theactual disk space needs are approximately the same as those for installingand running the guest operating system and applications on a physicalcomputer.For installation, approximately 200 MB free disk space is required on Linuxand 250 MB free disk space is required on Windows. You can delete theinstaller after the installation is complete to reclaim disk space.IDE, SATA, and SCSI optical drives are supported.CD-ROM and DVD drives are supported.ISO disk image files are supported.Virtual machines can connect to disk drives on the host computer. Floppy diskimage files are also supported.Solid-State DrivesIf your host machine has a physical solid-state drive (SSD), the host informs guest operating systems theyare running on an SSD.This allows the guest operating systems to optimize behavior. How the virtual machines recognize SSD anduse this information depends on the guest operating system and the disk type of the virtual disk (SCSI,SATA, or IDE).nOn Windows 8, Windows 10, Ubuntu, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines, all drive typescan report their virtual disks as SSD drives.nOn Windows 7 virtual machines, only IDE and SATA virtual disks can report their virtual disks as SSD.SCSI virtual disks only report as SSD when used as a system drive in a virtual machine, or as amechanical drive when used as a data drive inside a virtual machine.nOn Mac virtual machines, only SATA virtual disks are reported as SSD. IDE and SCSI virtual disks arereported as mechanical drives.Use the virtual machine operating system to verify your virtual machine is using SSD as its virtual disk.Local Area Networking Requirements for Host SystemsYou can use any Ethernet controller that the host operating system supports.Non-Ethernet networks are supported by using built-in network address translation (NAT) or by using acombination of host-only networking and routing software on the host operating system.VMware, Inc.15

Using VMware Workstation Player for WindowsVirtual Machine Features and SpecificationsWorkstation Player virtual machines support specific devices and provide certain features.Supported Guest Operating SystemsA guest operating system can be Windows, Linux, and other commonly used operating systems.For the most recent list of guest operating systems that VMware products support, see the VMwareCompatibility Guide site: ch.php.Workstation Player is not listed, but the information for Workstation Pro is applicable toWorkstation Player. Operating systems that are not listed are not supported for use in a virtual machine.For instructions about how to install the most common guest operating systems, see the VMware GuestOperating System Installation Guide: al Machine Processor SupportVirtual machines support certain processor features.nThe same as the processor on the host computer.nOne virtual processor on a host system that has one or more logical processors.nUp to 16 virtual processors (sixteen-way virtual symmetric multiprocessing, or Virtual SMP) on a hostsystem that has at least 2 logical processors.NOTE Workstation Player considers multiprocessor hosts that have 2 or more physical CPUs, singleprocessor hosts that have a multicore CPU, and single-processor hosts that have hyperthreadingenabled, to have two logical processors.Virtual Machine Memory AllocationThe total amount of memory that you can assign to all virtual machines running on a single host system islimited only by the amount of RAM on the host.On 64-bit hosts, the maximum amount of memory for each virtual machine is 64GB. On 32-bit hosts, themaximum amount of memory for each virtual machine is 8GB. Workstation Player prevents powering onvirtual machines that are configured to use more than 8GB of memory on 32-bit hosts. Memorymanagement limitations on 32-bit operating systems cause virtual machine memory to overcommit, whichseverely affects system performance.Compatible Virtual Machines and System ImagesWorkstation Player can run virtual machines and system images that other VMware products create andsome non-VMware products.16VMware virtualmachinesWorkstation Player runs virtual machines that were created by usingWorkstation 4 and later, GSX Server 3.x, VMware Server, and ESX Server 2.5and later. Workstation 4 virtual machines run in legacy mode. You must useanother VMware product to upgrade virtual machines created in versionsearlier than Workstation 4 before you can run them in Workstation Player.Microsoft Virtual PC andVirtual Server virtualmachinesOn Windows hosts, Workstation Player can run Microsoft Virtual PC andVirtual Server virtual machines. When you open a Virtual PC virtualmachine in Workstation Player, Workstation Player creates a configurationfile that is VMware product compatible and that has a .vmx file extension.VMware, Inc.

Chapter 2 Introduction and System RequirementsWorkstation Player preserves the original Virtual PC configuration file andgives the file a .vmc file extension. You can save the VMware productcompatible virtual machine without changing the original Virtual PCconfiguration file.Symantec Backup ExecSystem Recoverysystem imagesVMware, Inc.On Windows hosts, Workstation Player can run system images that werecreated by using Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery, formerlySymantec LiveState Recovery. When you open a Backup Exec SystemRecovery system image in Workstation Player, Workstation Player creates aconfiguration file that is VMware product compatible and that has a .vmxextension. Workstation Player preserves the original Backup Exec SystemRecovery system image file and gives the file a .sv2i file extension.17
