![]() ![]() Some programs cannot manage the comms like this. If you get a PC without a serial port, then you're left with little option than to use a USB>Serial adapter. Add shared folders and use it in conjunction with the host machine And if you run it from a USB external drive, there's no noticeable performance loss. Means you don't have to take up a large quantity of HDD on the host machine storing the VM. Ability to run the VM direct from an external USB drive. Host system remains light on installed programs and starts quicker. If you have a PC failure (which happened to me the other day) then getting back up and running is a matter of moving the vm to your new PC and with your backup away you go. Backing up is a piece of cake, most of my VMs are around 30gb so it doesn't take long at all. Virtualizing your machine has several advantages. But that's the beauty of VM, add and remove resources at your leisure!! This allows me to load the vm with little resources allocated to it, typically 1gb RAM (sometimes this needs to be increased on the Siemens VM when using the WinCC runtime simulator). VMWare v9.0 with a virtual machine for every different manufacturer of software. I hear there is a version 7.0, but I really have no desire to go any deeper than 6.10 You would think, that eventually doing it over and over and working your way up slowly would be more pleasant, but I must just not be built for that sort of thing. ![]() It hurts a lot more if you try to take it in at other versions repeatedly on your real hardware. Just shove in that version and the latest patches and then hold it still. It took 30 minutes to copy the 40gb vhd and setup files back to my machine since I am using freeware tools to backup and restore, but then it was just perfect again with no install hassles.ĭefinitely, if you must use Factory Talk Studio, do it at version 6.1 and in a fantasy machine. I finally killed the thing(imaginary machine) the other day for the first time.got it stuck in an infinite reboot loop after trying to find a matching ActiveX DLL for a Microsoft Toolbox used by a vendor with FctSe to fix Rockwell's numeric entry keypad that has been broken for the better part of two decades. The hardware has 8gb ram, dual monitors, and I give 1mb to the virtual machine so I can run Autcad for example, on the host and Factory Talk on the virtual machine. Win 7 Pro 64bit, all XP stuff in a virtual PC with a 32bit os. ![]()
