Solution: VMWare Guest Shutdowns very slow
In certain scenarios, you may find that shutting down a VM is very slow for no apparent reason. I found this to be true under the condition I’m running:
Windows 7 64-Bit
Utilizing an external USB drive to host the guest VHD
8GB RAM
Using a Dell laptop (tried on a D630 and Precision M4500)
To fix this issue, navigate to the following file and add these settings:
C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini AND C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Player
prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100"
mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE"
mainMem.partialLazySave = "FALSE"
mainMem.partialLazyRestore = "FALSE"
You should notice immediate improvement in shutdown speed.
Peki VMWare içinde Config.ini bulamadıysanız:
Ref: Creating and editing config.ini on Windows hosts
Solution
The config.ini file may not exist if you have not changed the default configuration setting from the Edit > Preferences menu.
To see if the file already exists, look for it in:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware_Product_Name
Where VMware_Product_Name is the name of the product you are using.
Notes:
Make sure you are looking on the Windows host on which you have installed the VMware software. You should not look for this file in your virtual machine.
On Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, and Windows 2008 Server R2 hosts, look for the file in:
C:\ProgramData\VMWare\VMware_Product_Name\config.ini
Note: This folder is normally hidden by default. In order to make this folder viewable/accessible:
Open a new folder.
Go to Tools > Folder Options.
Click the View tab, and select Show hidden files, folders and drives.
To create the file if it does not exist:
Open Notepad.
Caution: Do not use Word or Wordpad, because these editors create extra characters in the text file that render the configuration settings that you add unreadable.
Save a new, empty text file named config.ini in the location above.
