• To hardware Version 7 computers virtual in VMWare Server 2.0.2 ESXi 5

  Hello world

  Taking his retirement from 2 host vmware server computers.  They run Server 2008 64 with VMWare server 2.0.2.  Each host has 3 VMs Windows, 6 in total, all configured with Hardware Version 7

  The plan is to set up a new host running ESXi 5.  Install, configure and ready for deployment.  After you have configured the data stores, I want to spend my VMs the 2 old servers a new box of ESXi 5.

  I'll copy all virtual machines from the old servers to individual folders on my Windows 7 Desktop and use the vSphere client to load the virtual machines on new data stores.

  I read that ESXi 5 can read Version 7 VMs.  Does this mean I can use the virtual machine as is, or still need to convert the hard?  I would like to convert them before their download?  I'm a little gray in this area...

  Can you get it someone more experienced please let me know the step by step... or a link to a good "how to" I would really appreciate it.

  Thank you

  There is nothing for you. VMware Converter takes care of this. It will not only increase the size of the disc, but also the size of the partition.

• Find my host PID of virtual machines VMware Server 2.0

  Hello!

  With VMware Server 1.x, it was easy for me to find which machine used what PID. I just had to connect to the web interface of VMware Server and voila I could see my names of virtual machines and their respective PIDs.

  Now with VMware Server 2 I can't find anywhere them in the web console of VMware!

  Instead I use Process Explorer (and market - I find that PID is related to computer)...

  Anyone has any idea where I can get this info quickly in VMware software/console/whatever?

  Thanx.

  Sorry, I was showing you the contents first to design you what you actually wanted.

  Try the attached vbs script that isolates the configuration file .vmx and PID for you.

• DC virtual in VMWare Server virtual network configuration

  I'll put up a virtual AD network on a virtual server installation.  The host machine is supposed to be portable (i.e. the LAN IP will change, and it may be offline from time to time).  I'm trying to set up the first machine on my network, the virtual domain controller.  I don't know what to specify for the default gateway.

  Currently, on the domain controller, IPv4 is configured as follows:

  1 = bridged network adapter

  IP address: 192.168.131.1

  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  Default gateway: (empty)

  Preferred DNS: 127.0.0.1

  Alternate DNS: 64.71.255.198

  Should I leave it like that, or specify one virtual network cards as the default gateway?

  Without a default gateway, you will not be able to route to the DNS server that you specified: auxiliary DNS: 64.71.255.198

  If you think you have all the traffic in your MS local virtual (hosting IE everything than ob this host and always keeping local traffic), then no DG not required, but I suspect you'll want to make the web etc as you go along, if you need a DG to be routable

• updated images of VMware Server to use in ESXI server

  Hello

  I just have a lot of virtual machines that has been configured and used by vmware server 1. Now, I'll use ESXI server, when I downloaded the images to the esxi server and tried to run, I had a mistake in VMDK. Is it possible for me to change VMDK and use these old images or I need to reconstruct images from scracth. also, is there any availbale tool to update my old images to use ESXI?

  Thank you

  ESXi does not support the scattered disk format used by VMware Server by default. What you can do is to follow the recommendations of weinstein5and use VMware Converter or convert the hard file in a supported format (zeroedthick, eagerzeroedthick or thin) using the vmkfstools in ESXi command line tool.

  Assuming that the virtual disk has no snapshots, you can follow these steps in order to maintain the virtual disk file name.

  • create a 'old' subfolder in the folder of the VM on the ESXi host and move the hard files in this folder
  • Basic virtual machine folder run for example vmksftools old-i /hard-d thin vmname.vmdk
  • If the virtual machine lights without problem, you can remove the "old" subdirectory

• Risk of newer version of VMware Server comments

  Hi all

  I have a situation where I need to migrate a virtual in VMware Server 1.0.7 for 1.0.2 machine (by copy paste files and folders)

  Is there a risk involved as causing an incompatibility or corruption?

  Thank you.

  1.0.2 is old enough. I would try to avoid this situation. Better update the other server 1.0.9 (more real).

  It depends on the operating system host and guest. You should read the release notes for each version and try to decide on them.

• How to enlarge the screen of Windows Server 2003 on VMware Server 2?

  People,
  
  Hello. Because Windows 7 is not compatible must be installed to PeopleSoft PIA, I need to install VMware Server 2, and then install Windows Server 2003, which is compatible with PIA, on the virtual machine.
  
  But when I open Windows Server 2003 on the virtual machine, Win2K3 screen is very small, and its size is of about 1/4 of the screen of my computer screen. It is not comfortable to work for a long time.
  
  People know how to enlarge the screen of Windows Server 2003 in a virtual machine VMware Server 2 so that its size covers all of my computer screen?
  
  
  Thanks in advance!
  
  
  Lucy

  Did you already installed the VMWare tools in your guest OS in VMWare? In general, it helps a lot to be able to redefine a larger screen definition.

• How to configure server DHCP of VMware Server 2 to play nice on my network?

  I have 8 physical systems running on a network.

  A system running VMware Server 2 on it.

  Server DHCP of Server2 provides virtual machines with IPs on the 192.168.106 network and they all work fine, all virtual machines find each other and physical systems too.

  My wireless router is a DHCP server which provides boxes of physical IPs on the 192.168.2 network and works very well between physical systems.

  The problem occurs when a physical systems trying to access a virtual machine.

  All virtual machines are set to run in NAT mode, I tried no succcess one either bridged mode.

  The VMs system static IPs on the 192.168.2 network also fails miserably as all of my attempts to set masks subnet on all systems.

  I think I need to 'fix' the VMware Server 2 DHCP server, but have not yet find data on this topic, and I'm not sure that if I do this will help.

  Any solution here would be FANTASTIC.

  Past esxi was not really going to do this I feel even if you have not installed - it is really intended for high-end package rather than SATA based servers while sort will work on some.

  Their reason to exceed the NAT is filled? If you want to that virtual machines at all simply appear as regular machines on your existing subnet then packed is the easiest way to go because virtual machines must be able to obtain their IP addresses of your router, as well as physical boxes. DHCP server 2.0 is just for the NAT and host only networking that it manages-for machines virtual NAT, you must configure the port forwarding on the host server 2.0 for all the traffic you want to enter in the virtual machines from the outside since by default, all incoming ports are blocked, appropriately with NAT, see Chapter 11 of the user guide - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf

  So, if you want to go to bridge, we need to understand why this does not work as it should be "out of the box" as long as there is no any firewall host or other security software, for example the clients VPN, which will block traffic. What is the host operating system? Please post ipconfig/all or ifconfig - an output of the host and the guest. How have you configured in bridge network - using the default settings? Virtual machines get an IP address from your router?

• configuration network on VMWare server 2

  Hello

  I installed Vmware server 2 on my server (WIN2k3 with nic 2s because my server have a role of routing). A NIC is set up for INTERNET and other NIC is set to INTRNET.

  the configuration of my INTRANET is on class C IP:192.168.99.XX, SM: 255.255.255.0. I create a virtual Instalation with UBUNTU 8.10 Server... I installed UBUNTU with no problem and without error, but without internet access because I don't know what ip and network configurations I should do on virtual NIC (Vmnet1 and Vmnet8) and which configurations should I do ifconfig on UBUNTU (IP, SM, gateway, DNS)

  can someone help me?

  Thank you.

  Depends on...

  I'll explain what these networks and you can find what you need:

  1 bridged (VMnet0)

  If the virtual NIC (vNIC) is fulfilled, the guest takes part like any other host on the network. It needs its own IP address corresponding to the IP network to which it is filled.

  2 host-only (VMnet1)

  It is a network isolated between the host and the guests. No outside communication.

  3 NAT (VMnet8)

  When you use this type the host acts as a proxy routing with address masquerading. This means that all packets send by the client appears to come from the host to the outside world. You can hide your comments like that.

  What physical adapters is used to fill can be configured. The default value is one automatically chosen NIC jumpered to VMnet0. You can create a custom network (say VMnet2) and he a teddy bear additional bridge.

  Networks VMnet1 and VMnet8 can be served by the DHCP of VMware Server, so if you use this type of vNIC and you configure the IP address in the guest to use DHCP, you're fine.

  Don't forget to use a firewall at least on the vNIC which can face outside if you use bridged or NAT to connect to the Internet!

• VMWare Server 2 into conflict with Microsoft Virtual PC 2007

  I use Windows Vista x 64, when I have a virtual VMWare Server 2.0 open, and then start upward a Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 Virtual Machine, VMWare Machine will be output/die. If I already have a MS VPC 2007 open machine, then when I try to start a VMWare VM, I get the following message:

  
  Unable to connect to the MKS: there is no VMware process running for the C:\Users\Rusty\Documents\VMWare Machines\Ubuntu\Ubuntu.vmx configuration file virtual
  Either run "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Server\x64\vmware-vmx.exe C:\Users\Rusty\Documents\VMWare virtual Machines\Ubuntu\Ubuntu.vmx" manually on the server.
  or save the configuration file.
  

  It is likely that VPC 2007 leaves the CPU in operation VMX VMware Server prevents to alternate between legacy and long mode.  Unfortunately, this switch is required for the majority of host/guest under VMware Server 2 configurations.

  I don't know if it is possible to disable VT - x in VPC 2007 support, but if this is the case, maybe it's a work around for this problem.

• How can ping virtual machine on VMware Server external network?

  In the Vmware infrastructure products you can can be crazy from the outside through their individual networks connections, which is a good thing... lol

  How this is possible on VMware Server when guests use the VMnet8 network that uses NAT?

  In many scenarios, the use of bypass is prohibited due to the policy defined at the level of the external switch, but it is still necessary for the basic functionality of ping. Otherwise, how they would be able to know if a virtual machine is actually up to who answered the questionnaire on the network without entering actual connections to such hosts?

  You're right - that's how NAT works (whether via a service such as the VMware NAT service software or a hardware router/firewall NAT).  All computers behind the NAT server are hidden from the outside world (unless you map specific ports to the specific IP address of a computer)... they are so NOT to pings from the outside.

• Virtual machines, run extremely slow when the console is consulted 2 virtual machines Windows Server 2008 64-bit, Windows Server 2003 32-bit, 2 VMWare for virtual machine

  I'm in a difficult situtaition here.  I am the daily contact with a new client.  My linux guy, who is also my boss who is very busy, asked me to do some research trying to find answers for what's not on this server. We have a dual Quad Core 2.5 Ghz Lenovo server with 10 GB of ram.  2 500 GB hard drives are Raid 1.  We run Virtual Server VMWare 2 on a Debian with Gnome installation as a user interface for the side of things Linux.  Grub is the boot loader. There are two virtual machines running on the server.  The one machine that serves as a domain controller is a Windows SBS 2008 Server 64 bit, and the secondary machine has no responsibility domain.  The second machine is a Windows Server 2003 32-bit.  the 10 GB of ram 6 GB is allocated to the SBS server and 4 GB to the 2003 server.

  The problem I am running into is that everything is so slow, especially if I connect remotely to do any sort of administration on the network.  Some examples of issues I've noticed is that as soon as I log on the server via Remote Desktop SBS console management Windows Server spike to 80-95% CPU usage and it will not stop unless I close the management console.  Another instance is that if I open Backup Exec 12.5 on the SBS server it will kill the speed of the processor as well.  Long story short, there are a lot of machine to do what we need to do, but something is not configured right and non of us know what it is.  Another point to note is that the server has been in production for about 3 weeks, and the server seemed to have locked up just twice.  My professional guess is that over time, some chose thing is eating causing the crash of the memory.

  Sorry I do not have much technical insight on this topic, but this is the best I have to offer.  Any questions you all have, I'll ask my people and see if I can answer, but I could really use your help here.

  Thank you in advance,

  Heath

  2 things:

  1 you really need hard drives more than 2 in a RAID 1 for proper performance under load. More disks the better. Although I don't think that's what your problem is, he'll probably be the problem Next you will do.

  2. I don't know exactly where the configuration file is on your box of Debian for VMware Server, but you should consider adding the following options in the configuration file (on windows, it's the vmware 'config.ini'):

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

  MemTrimRate = 0

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

  mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

  If you do some research, you can read about what these options (the largest is the memory page sharing - it should only be left on if you have a bunch of similar virtual machines running on the same box, that you don't have.) I honestly know why this is on by default, he kills the CPU when virtual machines are running different operating systems). These are the options that I now use standard in VMware Server deployments, with huge performance increases after you have added the. Just give a try.

  Edit: Also make sure that you have installed in your virtual machines VMware tools.

• How to assign the IP address of the virtual machine on VMware Server 2.0.

  Hey guys,.

  I've been busy, actually not really busy, spent my whole day with this problem... I could just find the same solution I am looking for all the documents...

  I have a VMware Server 2.0 installed on CentOS 5.2, and I have 5 dedicated IP address or static with this server...

  Now, I created a VM with CentOS 4.7 for testing purposes, but I don't know how assing one of the IP address for this virtual machine.

  I want to just that my VM to be accessible from external internet connections...

  I have;

  64.XX.XX.218

  64.XX.XX.219

  64.XX.XX.220

  64.XX.XX.221

  64.XX.XX.222

  assigned IP address. First of all it is belong to the main server dedicated, I would attribute the 220 IP to my VM, but how? It's worth it to me...

  Any help will be much appreciated...

  Best regards

  Okay, that means, is not in your server room.

  Your computer has several available ethernet network interfaces: eth0, eth0: 0,

  eth0: 1, eth0:2, eth0:3. Which do you want to bridge vmnet0?

  Your server has only one physical ethernet interface. But there are multiple ip addresses configured on it. If you want to know, how it works and how it is configured, you can read this page.

  You need to reconfigure your network VMware Server 2 to fill the other or several networks. VMware Server documentation is explained on p. 222 and following. In fact, for linux, it is page 229 and includes 'ifconfig' to know what special device (eth0: 0...) what IP address, then run ' vmware - config.pl ' is used to assign the new configuration. But please read the documentation for more details.
