Best Linux o/s to be used for VMWare Server 2

Hi guys,.

What would be the best Linux o/s to be used for VMWare Server 2 and why?

Are there known traps or other questions that you may have experienced with some operating systems.

Thanks for the comments.

I don't know about the 'best' that I only use openSUSE x 64 but I find it incredibly stable and reliable, especially when compared to a lot of Vista (out of production). Image single with 8 GB disks and non - RAID SATA with usually about 10 virtual machines running constantly. CentOS and Ubuntu seem to appear a lot here, but that could be wrong, since people in general do not post when things are working very well. Fedora seems to have arisen recently with more than its share of problems.

  • Host kernel taken Linux supported for vmware Server 2?

    VMware is advertising that VMware server can be installed in 64 bit, Linux, but that's not true. I can't install it in one of my 64-bit Linux host. Only legacy distributions are supported. I use openSuse 11.2 64 bit or Ubuntu 9.10.

    Is it true that VMware is NOT recent Linux kernels of Pentecost compatible 2.6.3x? Only legacy host kernels Linux is supported?

    When this catastrophic situation will be fixed in the new version of Pentecost?

    None of the patches to install VMserver or workstation on more recent than AFAIK 2.6.26 kernels are officially released by VMware.

    If you really think that you need a core of bleeding edge, you must use these patches not supported.

  • Which TCP port is used for VMWare Infrastructure Client?

    Hello, my ESXi server sits on the private network, and I'm trying to PAT so that I can access the external network using VMWare Infrastructure Client Server. Does anyone know what port is VMWare Infrastructure Client listen? Thank you.

    Priscilla

    Do the external network for VMware NAT

    I guess you mean that your server is located in the internal network and Client is on the outside.

    If the customer does not have to "listen" for connections it opens TCP ports - HI 1024-65535 to servers as follows.

    Servers (including GSX) TCP ports: 8222, 8333, 902

    If you have ESX (i) then TCP ports: 80, 443, 902

  • Replacement for VMware Server 1.0

    Hello community

    I'm running a few hosts CentOS with VMware Server 1.x 5.x various hosts as CentOS virtual computers, the legacy Netware servers and some Windows machines.

    Now I need to put in place the new hosts with CentOS 6.x to enjoy some of the things fantasy that comes with this new major release (especially things like the handling of SSD and BTRFS).

    However, VMware Server 1.x only installs on CentOS 6 and so this combination is not an option.

    VMware Server 2.x (even if it would not work what I do not know) is a no-go, I don't like the web directors at all and would really like to have an administration like the VMware Console tool, which used to be the administrative tool for server 1.x.

    I would not mind spending the money for it, so there is no need to be free (business environment), but thousands of dollars of course aren't in the budget for it.

    However, many VMware products seem to be a mess for me (sorry...) and even worse, they all seem to be a bit inflated.

    What I choose today, VMware Server 1.x was exactly the thing I need, without all the bells and whistles, subsequent proceeds provided with, but if possible with a platform independent (Linux + Win) administration tool?

    Is there any "weight light server grade product of virtualization" VMware plus, which brings the necessary basic features and runs on modern linux guests?

    I have already evaluated VirtualBox and KVM and got both work, however, I have used VMware now for more than a decade at least I want to ask the community for recommendations before moving on to a completely different virtualization platform.

    Thank you to for your advice!

    Then take another look at work station - there now the abilitry to function as server hosting VMs - or you can go to the bare metal hypervisor and run ESXi that will install directly on hardware, eliminating the need for CentOS - there is a free version available that as well.

  • Simple player for VmWare server?

    Hello

    I'm under VmWare server 2.0 on my desktop Ubuntu, I often need to configure new virtual machines to test.

    My qyestion is: is there a quick way to run a VirtualMachine (for example the player) or I have every time to start the server? Can we install VmPlayer with VmServer?

    Thank you

    The Player and Server products fit together. However...

    On the Web console VI for the virtual machine, there is a command to create a shortcut on the desktop. When you double-click the shortcut and enter your credentials, it will open a console for this virtual machine. If the virtual machine does not work, it will be started. Or you can use the vmrun utility.

    Close the console doesn't stop the host, of course. If you want to stop it, you will need to use the web console to VI, the vmrun utility, or just simply the guest to close.

    Good luck!

  • Key free license for vmware server 1.0.3

    Hi all

    I read in a forum that vmware server 1.0.3 is a free software. You just have to register on the vmware site to get the free license key. This free software was interrupted by vmware? I couldn't find the software in the download page. Now, when I try to get a free license I am not able to understand how I can get that. I am part of the site, but where in the site can I get a free license? Can anyone please shed any light in this regard?

    Thank you

    Welcome to the community,

    VMware Server has been abandoned for years. If you are looking for free products, take a look at VMware Player, or the free ESXi Hypervisor.

  • what OS you use for VMware Data Recovery 1.2.0.1131

    I tried all versions of Linux OS 32-bit for the configuration of the VM for the OVF, but I got the same error every time

    Your CPU is not support long mode. Use a 32-bit distribution. --

    I'm under ESX 4 and vCenter.

    Any idea?

    Thank you

    After assigning VT turned on in the BIOS, you may need to power cycle your system (power power off). A reboot is not enough.

    If this does not resolve the issue, take a look at KB1003945 - requirements Hardware and firmware for 64-bit operating systems to see if your system meets all the requirements to run 64-bit operating systems.

  • SSL certificate not used for Admin Server connections

    I have a GoDaddy SSL certificate installed on OS X Server 10.11.4. It works very well for the web server (https). Connection via Server.app off-site, produces a warning SSL and self-signed certificate. There is a related error regularly in newspapers:

    [[servermgr_certs]:-[CertsRequestHandler(KeychainOpenSSLExport) exportIdentity:]: SecKeychainItemExport (certificateChain) no certificate string available, defaulting to a cert leaves only

    Any suggestions? I reinstalled the cert...

    You must raise the.app of 3rd party certificate.  Follow these steps:

    1: Open Keychain Access.

    2: select the system Keychain in the keychains list.

    3: find the preference of identity com.apple.servermgrd and double click it.

    4: select your SSL certificate 3rd party in the contextual menu of preferred certificate.

    5: Press the button Save changes.  You will be asked to authenticate.

    6: restart the server or restart the process of servermgrd to activate the changes.

    Now when you connect to the server from a remote device using.app, sign in using your valid 3rd party SSL certificate and avoid mistakes.

  • A product key from an old computer can be used for vmware fusion on a new mac?

    We used to own a Dell computer with windows XP Professional OS. Lately, we have switched all of our Mac computers and no longer use the old windows computer. I have the product key for this OS and I was hoping to use the CD of windows XP on VMware fusion and relocation (in order to play video games). So far, the installation was almost a success until it would not accept the old operating system product key. Is there a way to get a new product key?
    PS The only purpose is for the PC games we have.

    can I get another free product key? I still have the old computer

    you need to know if the old pc had an O E M version of windows, because

    windows OEM versions are locked to the motherboard of the PC they where first installed at.

    If the product key you have is from a version marketed Windows (non oem) you can install the version on another pc if you take away the first pc.

    in other words, a version on a pc at the same time.

    You should check with the microsoft Web site dealing with pirated software and product keys.
