• Ubuntu 9.10 and more recent vmware server 2. Will never run after restart of ubuntu.

  Hello

  I installed VMware server on my box of ubuntu 9.10 (32 bit, P - IV 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM). The problem is that he never runs after a reboot, even if the demons are actually being run. If I run the file vmware - config.pl, it does not work because it tells me the vmci, vmmon and vmnet modules are not standard. I then remove these modules, re-run vmware - config.pl and then it works until the next reboot of the computer.

  Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

  Hello

  OK maybe that you have upgraded the kernel version recently?

  If you use the standard kernels provided with Ubuntu 9.10, always use this one:

  2.6.31 - 15-Generic

  Make the installation of vmware server with the kernel version above following the directions I told before. Then, you ALWAYS start ubuntu 9.10 with this kernel version and never use another more recent.

  At the moment (as I know), it is the only way to run a vmware server 2 on ubuntu 9.10.

• Conversion of computer virtual vmware ESX4I and windows product activation server.

  Hello

  I tried to use vmware vmkfstools and convert import vmware server VM to ESX4i, none of them will cause Windows VMs to product activation trigger with no grace period windows so I can't use VMs on ESXi. How you can work around this problem.  I guess that I searched a lot on this subject, but no clear answer found to date.

  Thanks in advance

  MS may have made changes in their software to detect the cloned software and changes to the underlying host.

• Import the virtual machine of VMWare Server 2.0

  I want to hang in VMWare Server 2.0 to ESXi 3.5, how to import my VMWare VM for ESXi?

  I installed ESXi 3.5 on my test lab server and all I see is an option to import a device and not a VM.

  This feature is still available?

  Thank you

  Yes, this feature is available, but it will take VMware Converter - this will allow you to go to your VM VMware Server ESX/ESXi.

• 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

• Problem to see my 2 processor on Windows Server 2008 x 64 with VMWare Server 2

  Hello

  My server is an HP Proliant G6 G380 with 2 processors Intel Xeon X 5550 2.66 Ghz (Quad Core)

  Operating system is Windows Server 2008 standard x 64 SP2 and I use VMware-server - 2.0.1 - 156745

  On the Bios, I enabled HyperThreading, virtualization technology...

  On "Windows Task Manager - Performance" I see 16 CPU (2 processors * 4 cores * hyperhtreading).

  On the VMWare Server 2 documentation, they said this support for VMWare Server 2:

  Standard x 86 or x 86-64-compatible server with up to 16 processors.

  Hosts with processors of 32-bit IA - 32 and IA-32 with 64-bit extensions processors are

  supported.

  When I run VMWare Infrastructure Web Access, basically on my VMWare Server, I see only 1 CPU X 5550 8 hearts.

  Do you have any idea why?

  Thank you.

  HGFS is the Guest Host File System.

  It is more commonly used in my computer when you use the "Shared folders" feature, by presenting a host record to the guest under the/mnt/hgfs folder OS.

  Kinda like a mapped drive, but between vm and host.  However, the server doesn't support HGFS can be a module for it.

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vmserver2.PDF

  -Page 75:

  A kernel module for the management of folders, called hgfs.sys Windows and vmhgfs under Linux and Solaris. VMware Server does not support shared folders. The module is included for compatibility of products.

• Copy the files/etc/passwd and/etc/Group from your ESX Server to the machine that you want to use as map server

  I'm trying to set up an NFS share on my windows server so that I can do vMotion.  I have 2 ESX servers that will access the storage location so that I can vMotion the content on an ESX Server to the other ESX Server.  I came across many discussion forums who say I need to "copy the files/etc/passwd and/etc/Group for your ESX Server to the machine that you want to use as map server"... How can I copy these files onto my ESX Server?

  I am VERY VERY new to VMware and will need step by step instructions on how to do it.

  Thanks in advance!

  Concerning

• VCenter Server first to 5.5.0U3b update and later update of VMware ESXi ESX / will I have problems?

  Hello

  have trouble when I first updated my signature single vCenter Server and later update my vSphere hosts?

  A vCenter Server Version 5.5.0U3b should be able to manage vSphere Host Version 5.5.0 GA, right?

  Kind regards

  Roland

  The vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b can manage VMware ESXi ESX release GA to 5.5 5.5 update 3 b, take a look: VMware product interoperability Matrices

  BUT, according to the interoperability matrices and vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 release notes, VMware strongly recommends you upgrade your hosts to 5.5 update 3 b, see:

  What's new

  • Update Support for the SSLv3 Protocol is disabled by default
    Note: In your vSphere environment, you must update vCenter Server vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b before the update to 5.5 ESXi ESXi update 3 b. vCenter Server will not be able to manage 3B ESXi 5.5 update, if you update ESXi before update vCenter Server to version 5.5 update 3 b. For more information about the sequence in which vSphere environments must be updated, see KB 2057795.

  • VMware strongly recommends you update ESXi hosts to ESXi 5.5 update 3 b management of vCenter Server 5.5 updated 3B.

  VMware does not recommend the reactivation of SSLv3 because of the vulnerability of POODLE. If all you must enable SSLv3, you must activate the SSLv3 Protocol for all components. For more information, see

• move Virtual GuestOS in Vmware Server 2.0 to ESX Server 3.5 U4

  Hello

  We intend to pass the 3 servers in Vmware Server 2.0 to server Vmware ESX 3.5 U4.

  Can anyone tell me please what it takes...

  I downloaded the OVF tool and installed, it works very well, so now I know how to create a .ovf from a .vmx file

  but the problem is when I created the file .ovf from a .vmx file located on Vmware server 2.0, I got an error when I tried to import it into ESX via VMWare Vcenter... which is:

  the family of equipment if the paskage of the FVO is not supported: vmx-07

  and ths is true, because the hardware platform where the Vmware Server 2.0 is running is not the same ESX 3.5 server running...

  I hope that someone can show me what steps I must take to achieve this...

  Thank you!!

  Best regards

  Tom

  I thought that I could simply convert without downloading for ESX as the conversion process runs... but this is not possible

  No it's not.  It will make the COPY of the virtual machine, but in order to convert anything, there need duplicate files and make it compatible.  So really all that is done is change of version/type of the VMDK to one that is suitable for ESX read.  It's like the conversion of a pdf document.  Copy you it, but older versions of Acrobat will not able to read the most recent versions.  It's the same, the content is there, simply to make it readable.

• HP EVA Business copy and VMware

  Hello

  did anyone of you using HP EVA Business copy (snapshots SAN) with VMware?

  What happens if you create a snapshot of a VMFS LUNS? Present you this snapshot to the ESX' are? Do you need tuning to get this working? I think San resignaturing and allowing snapshots of SAN...

  Or is it better to only instant RDM LUN? Which will work? Introduce an instant LUN to a virtual machine?

  Best practices on this usage?

  TIA.

  Hello

  did anyone of you using HP EVA Business copy (snapshots SAN) with VMware?

  Yes, people use it.

  What happens if you create a snapshot of a VMFS LUNS?

  You make a consistent copy of the crash of all the data on this LUN. Check if VMware SRM will work with Business Copy to make the best copies.

  Present you this snapshot to the ESX' are?

  Yes.

  > Do you need tuning to get this working? I think San resignaturing and allowing snapshots of SAN...

  Yes, you need to authorize instant SAN, etc.

  Or is it better to only instant RDM LUN? Which will work? Introduce an instant LUN to a virtual machine?

  6 of these half dozen of those. Yes, you can provide a snapshot of the RDM to a virtual machine.

  Best practices on this usage?

  Treat Business Copy in the same way you use any mirror of SAN LUN/snapshot.

• VMware Server 2 - installation and questions backup

  I have an application that will use a backend SQL Express and IIS. I want to place this in a virtual machine running Windows 2008 Server on a Server 2008. We will not have many users using this app, so I think that the free server product would be nice. I worked with VMware Workstation for a few years but I did not too much with the server. I guess I can build the right VM in server, just let it run from there, correct?  All the elements 'need to know '?  Also, what is the best way to back up the applications data. I am not too concerned about the guest operating system, only data backup applications. Any help would be great... Thank you

  You can install Vmware server on the host computer and you can then create Win2008 VM.

  Yes you can have the virtual machine running in Vmkware server.

  For bcking the application data. You can do multiple ways.

  You can connecta USB drive to the physical machine and the virtual machine and copy the application data.

  You can map the drive to the virtual computer as a network drive on the physical host and copy it to CD / engraver of DVD or USB drive or another drive partition.

  Please allow point if it helps.

• Migración of Vmware server 1.0 y 2.0 by ESX 4.0

  Hola, tengo varios servidores con Vmware server 1.0 2.0 y y estoy valorando el pasarlos an ESX 4.0, is that he read Dan mucho mas performance than estas versiones. I have several dudas Development Qué os agradeceria me ayudarais a program of resolution:

  No me importa pay for ESX 4.0 model, but what differences the ESXi gratuita con Hay con respecto the capabilities?

  ¿mediante pueden traspasar las maquinas copiandolas, como he hecho alguna vez office between 2 Vm server 2.0 ESX 4.0 al (o ESXi)?

  También voy a montar nuevos, usually instalo servidores 3 maquinas office, 1 con linux y otras 2 con Win2003-2008 by Terminal Server's Active Directory cada una, what're mejor, montar discos duros rapidos (sas) o poner 2 processors fisicos?

  Gracias.

  Hola,

  El hecho usar el esxi free dificulta a poco (o mucho depende para only) Administration del día a Día del entorno esxi.

  Las and/or mas una obvias tiene el free esxi are that for example any faffa you will have provide una para esxi backup respond. Have usar things scripts of the VMWare para programar una comunidad como forma automated los backups, without is las soportan jumbo frames, the VI API are en modo lectura (eso limited you one that no other realize mediante don't scripts Quarto tasks you en entorno virtual), etc...

  UNA license apetecible a nivel caracteristicas y precio (ahora durante a periodo esta limitado a UN 50% descuento!) the es Essentials. Esta license allows disponer hasta 3 servidores esxi 2 Sockets (CPU) fisicos cada uno a vCenter through centralizados.

  Te paso UN link para veas as caracteristicas las get licenses of VMWare pago.

  Para el proceso virtualizacion you recomendaria usases el vmware converter 4.01 as in the majority of cases facilitated the Migración.

  Respecto has the las CPU pregunta y discos, cuando to virtualiza para reaching a good level of page are important disponer o the processor cores. In principio few mas mejor.

  Pero igual o mas important las CPU are UN acceso a rapido disco (e/s). A menudo suele ser el of botella in los entornos virtualizacion cuello.

  Por tanto siempre are mucho mejor usar discos en vez as sata sas y cuando mejores caracteristicas (lectura/escritura RAM, Cordless, etc.) tenga controladora of discos del virtualizador, better than best.

  Bueno creo as con esto is tienes suficiente partida para hacerte una idea information
