Reasons for that vary and may be the result of hardware or software issues. Using virtual machines is convenient and efficient, but sometimes VM performance degrades.
Maybe you can install the version of openSUSE you had before on a machine, install VMware, copy your virtual machines to this new platform and see if they still work (a good chance it'll work if you haven't damaged your VMs).By Michael Bose A Full Overview of VMware Virtual Machine Performance Problems One thing you might do as a first step is determine how extensive your problem is, if ony your existing machines are affected by creating a new installation to see if that works.Īnother try(Remember to make copies before making any changes) is to remove the memory "lck" files, when you do this you'd be removing whatever is in the suspended memory so there's a good chance you'd lose whatever wark was suspended but at least if your machine boots, the VM isn't completely lost. Hope you made good backups, especially since making a machine backup can be very easy (just copy the machine files). I assume your "upgrade" is openSUSE and not the VMware Workstation app?īecause I avoid this type of mistake, I'm not sure how you can recover or even if you can. That's a golden rule for all virtualization, not just VMware.
Never upgrade with suspended, hibernated, etc machines not shut down completely.Īnd, that's all types of upgrades even though you didn't specify what upgrade you actually did. Always shutdown all machines completely before upgrading.
