I would like to share How to disable or turn off beep speaker sound on VMware Workstation.

1. Look for virtual machine DOT VMX(.vmx) file.
2. Edit virtual machine .vmx file.
3. Insert

“mks.noBeep = “TRUE””

4. Save .vmx file.
5. Power On virtual machine.

For an example, my OpenSuSe 11 DOT VMX file save in drive D:\My VM\OpenSUSE11\ folder as show below.

Enjoy!

Look carefully at the images show as above! I’m sure you will notice Google search engine result could not find “Buy VMware” keyword on pages from Malaysia(Ignore Sponsored Links). This is NOT for fun which actually I found on Malaysia VMware sitemeter report. Does Google search engine stupid or intelligence? Google search understand English? What do you think? Probably this article will show on top on Google search result later. Yeah! SEO expert here …..

Anyway other keywords such as “Buy VMware ESX” and “Buy VMware Workstation” either from google.com or google.com.my worked perfectly which it will show VMware Store URL: http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/.

Again, if you are looking for buying anything from VMware Malaysia you can check with VMware Malaysia.

Last Update: 21 NOV 2008

What’s New?

• Japanese localization — A localized version of Workstation is now available in Japanese for Windows hosts.
  Note: Technical Support services for Workstation are currently delivered in English. Japanese-speaking support engineers are available in a limited capacity during the operating hours of the local support center. For more information, see VMware local language support.
• Smart card support for Linux guests — Smart cards are now experimentally supported with Linux guests.
• Unity mode on Linux guests — Although support for Unity mode on Linux guests is still experimental, repainting of application windows is much improved.
• 3-D graphics — Additional improvements have been made to improve 3-D performance on Windows XP guests.

Beside this, NTPRO said you will be able to run ESX 4 under VMware Workstation 6.5.1. Cool!

By the way, I’m downloading VMware Workstation 6.5.1 32bit and 64 bit for Windows (499 MB) and the speed is just below 100KB/sec. WTF? Stupid Malaysia ISP TMNUT?

Due to certain requirement, you may need to clone a snapshot taken sometimes ago and you can make as many copies as you need.

This guide show how to making a clone from a snaphot on VMware Workstation 6.5.

Note: The snapshot MUST BE from a virtual machine that is powered off.

Open VMware Workstation 6.5, click on VM tab, click Snapshot, click Snapshot Manager or CTRL+m.

Click clone.

Click Next on Clone Virtual Machine Wizard.

Click Next Clone from The current state in the virtual machine.

Click Create a full clone and Next.

There are 2 types of clone:
# A full clone is an independent copy of a virtual machine that shares nothing with the parent virtual machine after the cloning operation. Ongoing operation of a full clone is entirely separate from the parent virtual machine.
# A linked clone is a copy of a virtual machine that shares virtual disks with the parent virtual machine in an ongoing manner. This conserves disk space, and allows multiple virtual machines to use the same software installation.

Enter Virtual machine name, Location and click Finish. You’re done!

I’m sure you will ask making a clone from a snapshot for VMware ESX Server. Just do a live clone and revert to snapshot taken or you may refer to VMware Communities Forum.

Enjoy!
