• 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.

• Converter do P2V for VMware Server 1.0 x?

  Hello, when trying to convert a physical Machine in VMware Server 1.0.x (correct 1.0.x, not 2.x, what's next) - is - it possible with "VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0.1?

  Whenever he tries to convert a physical computer running Linux (Debian), it does not allow a change in the type of destination (it is assumed that 'Server VMware Infrastructure' and does not have a drop-down menu to change the type of destination).

  Should an older version be used?  It is available for download?

  Any guidance would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance

• support for VMware workstation 7

  Hello

  I looked on the website and to the best of my understanding VmWare Workstation 7 EOL.

  http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/support/product-lifecycle-matrix.PDF

  Hereby, I understand that there will be no more support for VmWare and forums are essentially the only resource that I can rely on.

  Can anyone confirm that this is correct?

  Thank you.

  This seems to be in line with the policy of support for this product:

  «VMware will offer 2 years in favour of the general availability of a new major version in the support and subscription.»

• 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.

• Capture the statistical support for VMware Cluster

  Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my question.  In the near future I will have a cluster vmware small I need to generate reports of use of resources on.  I saw a tool called queryperf which seems to provide for all my needs and then some, but I'm not sure how get or use this tool.

  I normally just jump on an esx host and try the command to see if I have it but I'm traveling at the moment and do not have access to one.

  To wrap this up, I'm very keen to learn the following:

  How no one acquires queryperf?

  Where the tool lauched from?  (by this I mean: guest operating system, command-line esx host, ect)

  How to run on a cluster vm instead of a single server/client integer.

  Thank you for reading my post and I thank you for your help.

  I'm not aware of a tool called queryPerf, but there is a VI API method called queryPerf() that allows you to query the performance data of your vCenter/ESX (i) /VM (s) http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.PerformanceManager.html#queryStats

  A great place to start to look for some samples or past issues/scripts/utilities that could be used to question the different associated performance stats is the VI API forums: http://communities.vmware.com/community/developer/managementapi?start=0

  There are also a few utilities preset that you can watch, onethat may be of interest is the viperformance.pl which is part of the VI Perl Toolkit Utilities http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl15/doc/perl_toolkit_utilities_idx.html

  Also, here is a collection of news and recent documentation concerning the performance collection/analysis using VI SDK/API: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9840

  Recently, VMware has started a new podcast for developers called the Coffee Talk where various topics concerning VI SDK/API/scripting/etc will be covered and the first two were related to the new vSphere SDK but she also had a lot of good practices on the collection of performance data that relate to the current VI 3.5 and coming vSphere 4.0 that you might find useful : http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9912

  You will be able to use the queryPerf() call in various set of programming languages (Perl, c#, .NET, PowerShell, etc) who can communicate with the VI SDK via the SOAP API. Depending on the platform and what type of data you want to collect, this should help you get started.

• Red Hat GFS is supported for VMware?

  I was not able to find a definitive answer about this, then take the community to see if I'm right:

  Red Hat and VMware does support Red Hat Linux computers virtual running GFS? We have a set a production level Wordpress blog servers running RHEL 5 64-bit using physical storage shared RDM (100 GB) and when these virtual machines are under heavy load the GFS volume freaks out and drop-outs. We need to power cycle the VMs (pull on the plug) and start them upward for GFS rerun.

  I was not able to find that our facility is even supported even though it works technically. Anyone know? No official word from Red Hat or VMware on it?

  Thank you.

  The only grouping support supported by VMware is MSCS.

• Consolidation of support for Windows Server 2008

  In the statement of support for vSphere for Server 2008 clustering, he mentions that the two nodes of 2008 should not belong to a cluster HA/DRS.  We currently have our cluster designed to accommodate all guests (HA/DRS active) in the data center.  Excluding the HA/DRS features for VMs individual cluster node, will support us?

  TIA

  -Rick

  The documentation is that if you have virtual machines in a cluster HA/DRS then you don't are not supported.  You will need to disable these functions on the entire cluster for real assistance.  That said, I have this configuration and have been able to call VMware to support without problem.  This does not mean that you will have the same experience, but my guess is that they would support you if necessary.

  You can also see fault-tolerant VMware (FT), but you must understand the differences between MSCS and FT.  If you're upgrading clustering an application such as Exchange, I wouldn't use FT and would use rather MSCS.  Everything depends on what you're trying to accomplish and what fits best. Also remember that FT does not provide protection at the hardware level, so a lack of application level would be replicated on two virtual machines.

• 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

  Sasmas

  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.

• Why distribution linux Suse for Vmware virtual appliances

  Hi people!

  I was wondering the reason of vmware using Suse Linux distribution for all of their virtual devices?

  Thank you very much for your comments!

  Best regards!

  VMware and Novell have an alliance, so I suspect that is the reason behind this.
