¿Cuanta memoria I need VMWare Server + 14 VM XP?

• VMware Server memory

  Hello

  Can VMware Server 2.0 overallocate physical RAM of RAM? or I can just assign the same amount of physical RAM to VMS?

  If she can overallocate physical RAM memory, how can we overuse?

  Thanks in advance,

  I found that you need significantly more RAM on the host as necessary by adding the allocation of RAM to each guest.  On a host Windows 2003 with 8 GB of RAM, I started having performance issues important in the attempt to allocate more about 6.4 GB of RAM in total for the guests.  I recommend having at least 2 GB of additional RAM on the host computer.

• Allocation of memory and VMware Server 2

  Hello world

  I have a box of material with 12 GB of physical memory on this OS W2K 2003 32 bits (4 GB limit). My question is: if I install VMware Server 2 in this scenario, I'll be able to allocate remaining 8 GB of physical mem for my virtual machines. What performance in this scenrio? I'd like to run two virtual machines (2003 data backup server and backup exchange server) 4 GB each.

  Thank you much for the help.

  NO.

  Since your host is limited to 4 GB, you cannot allocate more than that.

  You should better install a 64 bit OS host if you want to use all of the memory, if your hardware supports.

• need help to set the access rights of a vmware server 2.0.1 on vmware image

  Hello!

  I have a vmware (running ubuntu server 9.04) image that was created with a vmware server installation varsion 1.0.9. now I decided to upgrade to the host, which means that the host totally changed: new equipment, new OS, new vmware-server-version: 2.0.1

  My problem atm is, I may not know, what would be the appropriate access rights (chown/chmod) for this vmware image. during the installation of vmware server 2.0.1 I was asked to specify some 'administrative user' where I took the an im working with Linux itself (lets call it "user").

  so, when I copied the old vmware image in the data store (/ var/lib/vmware/VirtualMachines for me), chown-ed the folder including all files init by A, setting chmod to something like 600, the console vmware (web surface) told me that there were several problems with the image and couln can't be started etc. etc. etc...

  I played with several rights to the image and the only thing that seemed to help was setting the folder and all files included in 'root' with the command chmod chown '777'... not what I would call 'secured '.

  so: how to set the access rights for the virtual machines? I want that they have only minimal rights as possible and especially nothing like root: 777...

  My static VM files, as in those who are not dynamically created when the virtual machine starts, are the property of root, root of group with permissions of 711. Root is the user that I have chosen as the admin user when you run vmware - config.pl. My users do not have direct access to this server, so I'm not too worried about the permissions. You can give different rights for different users to different virtual machines, creating roles and their allocation to users/groups. On that, the details are in Chapter 10 of the user guide - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf.

• I need help with this error on VMware Server 2

  Hello world!  I'm new to using this site, but not to a large part by using VMware, VMware Server software. I have worked with it for 1.0.5 version. I have a Dell 2950 PowerEdge Server with Red Hat 5.2 and VMware Server 2. I installed 3 virtual machines and I made a backup of any of it. I copied this entire virtual machine to another computer (Dell Optiplex 755) with the same Red Hat 5.2 and VMware Server 2 and I added the virtual machine properly in the inventory of machines with VMWare Server 2 recognized the very fast machine. But when I press Play to start the virtual machine I got the error that appears on the image and I don't know what can be the problem.

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you very much!

  William Anderson

  It looks like may have copied the files when the virtual machine is not correctly - stop search *.lck files/folders in the destination folder and delete them. Also, make sure that the account running the VMware process has permissions to write to the files/folders.

• VMware Server VM - network adapter disconnected - help needed please

  Hello world!

  I already install VMware Server running two virtual machines in test environments. Virtual computers running Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 2). VMware server itself is sitting on Windows Server 2003, which I have remote access.

  The plan is to let the virtual machines running continuously and access them directly on a Remote Desktop Protocol. It was working fine until we had an incident with Windows Server 2003.

  The incident was that we decided to upgrade to Service Pack 2 on the server. When we restarted the server, we found that the IP Configs were changed. NIC 1 didn't have any parameters calibrated but NIC 2 made. We removed NIC 1 and then reconfigured to run 2 NIC NIC 1.

  The server now works fine and we can remotely access, but the virtual machines have lost their configurations. When I run it says that the network adapter is disconnected. I kept them and adding new hardware, selected network adapter and connect at startup. But whenever I run a virtual machine, it says that the network adapter is disconnected.

  Anyone know how to fix this? any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

• How to refine the configuration of Vmware server on windows host

  Hello

  can someone explain how to refine the Vmware host windows server edition?

  Hello

  First, you decide what you want to use the VMWARE server.

  If you want to use vmware server for only to keep the plane comments at end of test system administartion, during the installation of VMware server you will need to customize your installation.

  In the Customize installation disable the Modules Perl script which are used for development purposes, after installing the server, go to services & disable services unwanted, assume that you use no DHCP & NAT, then disable these services. In doing so, it will save the memory & performance increase of you host mechine.

  When you create your mechine comments try to reduce unwanted devices, how to remove the floppy drive if you don't want to use in the mechine comments. like this, try to reduce the additional devices you use rarely, if you're runnin server edition comments mechines, then try to reduce you is display resolution, which will give a good performance.

  Kind regards

• 64-bit applications do not convert to VMware Server Console of ESX3i

  Hello

  Because of performance problems, we try to convert a machine Console VMware Server 1.0.4 for VMware ESX Server 3i, using VMware converter standalone client 4.0.1 vcentre but it is a failure with the answer "the destination can't stand not 64-bit clients.

  We believe that ESX3i supports 64-bit machines - there is an option to create one, if we were to start from scratch.

  We also tried to import directly via the "Import a virtual appliance" option on the 3i server itself, but he expects a file ovf rather than an egg file, and so we get an exception "system out of memory.

  Can anyone recommend the best method of conversion of a 64-bit computer?

  Thank you

• What to do after downloading VMware Server

  Hi everyone, new guy here.

  I downloaded 580 MB vmware-server and even installed.  It appeared to install correctly and place a vmserver on the desktop icon.  However, I thought I could just click and vm would lead me through the installation of an operating system.  Not the case.  He went to a web page where he asked me a username and password.

  Should not be whatever it as a valid user name or a password.  Earlier, I had received an email from Vmware services customer, said whaich my emails has been (and it said my correct e-mail address) and my password was (and he gave me my password).  Howevere, when I clicked on the icon of VMWare (after installation), it led me to a web page (after accepting a bad certifique) who would not accept the name or the password.

  Yes, cost-effectiveness issues:

  What should I do after installing VMware_server tihe?

  How (and why) can I connect the web page?

  Thanks for the help in advance.

  Bob

  There are little interest by giving the guest 4 GB unless she needs. My largest VM XP that is running Outlook, IE, and other productivity applications, is only defined for use 768 MB he sits very comfortably in. He was originally to 512 MB, but it is weaker and the page a bit. You want enough memory allocated so that the guest does not work out/page/swap but not as long as he's not getting used while VMware may not be the memory for it unless it is actually needed (on Linux at least).

• 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.

• Do I really need a server license 5.0 vcenter for my vsphere Enterprise 5.0

  Hi all, im new to the Forum vmware and encryption currently in terms of licensing for our small internal data center facility.

  My physical features are for licensing

  Guests: 2

  Number of CPUS: 4

  by CPU core: 6

  For each host RAM: 32 GB will later expand to 64 GB

  and a device to IBM SAN

  If I purchase 4 licenses of the company and need to use the FT features and HA I really need the server vcenter license for that?

  What will miss if I do not buy the license of vcenter server?

  Buy licenses without any SnS that it's expensive, and we want to keep to a bare licensing.

  I thank in advance

  It will be possible to lower the cost even more far by going to an ENT AK but with vsphere Foundation? instead of the standard... or is it a fixed regime that cannot be changed.

  The Kits are sold as announced. These are especially price of starter kits that can be purchased once per site.

  What other discounts can I ask my distributor to provide other than VPP.

  Can't help you on this. I'm not even sure if you can get the volume for only 4 licenses processor licensing more vCenter Server.

  If above our list price no idea what sort of profit my distribution partner for vmware will do about that?

  How are they able to cite much less than these rates mentioned above!

  I don't think you will get an answer to these questions. Not sure what your company product, but I'm sure that you don't tell your clients how much profit you make on your products.

• 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.

• 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

• Fedora to access VMware server 2 web

  Hello

  I had problems with the interface web vmware server 2. When I first install vmware server 2 on a clean system, it works fine. However, after a reboot, the web interface is more accessible to the general public.

  When I do

  "netstat - anp |" grep vm ' I see port 902 listening however ports 8222 and 8333.

  SELInux is disabled, I also turned to IPtables and ip6tables as well as fedora firewall.

  I tried rerun vmware - config.pl, however this does not resolve the issue. I also tried to restart the management interface and that does not work either.

  When I restart the vmware service, everything seems fine:

  Hello

  I had same problem - Fedora 14 64 bit & vmware 2.0.2... and nothing on google :-/

  Because I have not found a solution for this problem, so I wrote this post (my first btw :-))

  After you install vmware (and patch before), everything works well before the first server to restart. After reboot - web access (port 8222 & 8333) has not worked.

  For me, it has worked:

  (1) check if vmware - spend is running (when vmware service is started):

  # ps to the | grep vmware - pass

  --------------------------

  root of 1752 0.0 0.6 50760 225708?        SSL 14:36 0:01 / usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-hostd - a d u - /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml

  (2) If vmware - spend does not, try to run vmware - pass manually (without the-d (demon) parameter):

  # / usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-hostd - a u /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml

  --------------------------

  (there was no mistake as.. libvmomi.so.1.0: no such file or directory)

  (3) copy (or link) libraries starting from/usr/lib/vmware/vmacore/and/usr/lib/vmware/lib/to /lib64/

  # cp /usr/lib/vmware/vmacore/libvmomi.so.1.0 /lib64/
  

  # cp /usr/lib/vmware/vmacore/libvmacore.so.1.0 /lib64/
  

  # cp /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libexpat.so.0/libexpat.so.0 /lib64/

  (4) just try to restart the vmware service or server; I had to run vmware - config.pl new - vmware crashed.

  If this isn't the case, vmware - always come running after you restart, try to rerun manually and wait minute (if it is started).

  I already had virtual machine in vmware, so I got another problem...

  VMware-get started, but just for a minute. After a minute, he wrote something as... out of memory. I tried to rename my vm and vmware has worked well (WebAccess Inc.) ...

  So... Here is the solution to another problem...

  5) simply to stop the vmware service

  judgment of vmware for the service #.

  6) Rename the library libxml2 vmware based

  # mv /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libxml2.so.2 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/BAD-libxml2.so.2

  VMware will skip this library and use a for/lib64 /...

  (7) restart the server and try out it
