virtualization

I'm wondering if anyone has any best practices for automating the testing of installers on various machines with potentially different hardware / software profiles and by specifying various options to the installer. The idea would be that I could write "unit test like" code to set up a machine, run the installer, then test that certain things are true. Tests might look similar to: Test: Boot Machine without IIS Run Installer Assert Installer Had Errors Test: Boot Machine with IIS Run Installer Assert Installer Ran Test_Fixture: SetUp: Boot Machine with IIS Test: Run Installer without IIS

I've seen this error several times. Each time I google deeply and finally made me reinstall my windows and all stuffs. Please help, I don't want to reinstall everything again. The error is: Windows Phone Emulator Unable to start the Windows Phone Emulator Windows Phone Emulator is unable to start because the hypervisor is not running. The likely cause is that hardware-assisted virtualization is not enabled. Check your computer's BIOS to ensure that hardware- assisted virtualization and hardware-assisted data execution features are enabled. But yesterday I debugged really normally on Windows

I'm trying to learn to code in Objective C, but I am not ready to commit to purchasing a Mac for just this purpose, seeing as I have a good Dell laptop. My computer has VMware installed on it, but I do not know how to actually go through the steps, and I do not know what I need to install or purchase(if absolutely necessary). Eventually, I hope to get a Mac, so this won't be needed, but until then, I want to find a way to compile Objective C so I can actually learn how to use it. Thanks. Gabriel Molter I'll tell you... From experience: To run xCode and iOS Simulator, you will need Mac OS X

How do I delete a VirtualBox machine in the GURU_MEDITATION error state? Is it enough just to delete the directory while VirtualBox is not running? EDIT: After posting, I deleted the entire directory that "Show in File Manager" navigates to. It looks like: Note that there is no power off, and even remove is greyed out. I believe this is the exact same as it looked even before I deleted the directory. EDIT 2: I tried the command line poweroff after deleting the files. It hangs: vboxmanage controlvm wmf-vagrant_1354733432 poweroff 0%...10%...20%... EDIT 3: It also fails to unregister it from the

I know QEMU is used by Xen, and KVM is a fork of QEMU. So, KVM includes that Xen adds to QEMU ? What is the name ? Thanks Todd Deshane QEMU is a powerful emulator, which means that it can emulate a variety of processor types. Xen uses QEMU for HVM guests, more specifically for the HVM guest's device model. The Xen-specific QEMU is called qemu-dm (short for QEMU device model) QEMU uses emulation; KVM uses processor extensions (HVM) for virtualization. Both Xen and KVM merge their various functionality to upstream QEMU, that way upstream QEMU can be used directly to accomplish Xen device model

Can I run a 64-bit VMware image on a 32-bit machine? I've googled this, but there doesn't seem to be a conclusive answer. I know that it would have to be completely emulated and would run like a dog - but slow performance isn't necessarily an issue as I'm just interested in testing some of my background services code on 64-bit platforms. The easiest way to check your workstation is to download the VMware Processor Check for 64-Bit Compatibility tool from the VMware website. You can't run a 64-bit VM session on a 32-bit processor. However, you can run a 64-bit VM session if you have a 64-bit

I have implemented custom itempanel for gridview to support variable item height using this link posted by JerryNixon.My Custom panel supports 3 different sized template(depending on image dimension I am deciding which template to use).This custom Gridview should have pagination and it should support more than 200 items. Right now i could load only 50 items and it crashes because of out of memory exception event in 1GB device . Its one of the requirement in out project. I know when we implement custom itemspanel it losses default virtualization. I have checked Pin.it app. They have implemented
