• How to change VMware Server 2 in VMware Workstation?

  People,

  Hello. I installed VMware Server 2.0.2 in Windows 7 host. Then, I created a virtual machine and install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system. I installed some application programs in the Windows Server 2003 operating system, and has done a lot of work into them. Everything works successfully for some time.

  Because VMware Server 2 does not support Windows 7 as host operating system. Strange thing can happen anytime. While I work in Guest OS Win2K3, the connection is suddenly lost. VMware Server 2 home page can not be displayed anymore. The virtual machine and the Win2K3 comments is no longer accessible.

  I have to install VMware Workstation that supports Windows 7 as host operating system and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system. So, I have 2 questions:

  First of all, if I uninstall VMware Server 2 on Windows 7, does it affect the virtual machine that supports the Windows Server 2003 OS?  Everything, including the OS Winn2K3 and its application programs, will be lost?

  Second, if I install VMware Workstation in Windows 7, can the Guest OS Windows Server 2003 be transferred from VMware Server 2 VMware Workstation?

  People can help answer these 2 questions?

  If uninstall VMware Server 2 on Windows 7 and its Guest OS Win2K3 will be lost, I'll lose a lot of time and work!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can uninstall vmware server without any problems and you will not lose your vm.

  Anyway just for more security you can make a backup of the virtual machine before you uninstall vmware server 2. Just backup files of the virtual machine. Then you can uninstall the server and install workstation

  After the workstation installation, you would be able to run the virtual machine in workstation, simply add the virtual machine to the workstation inventory, pointing to the .vmx files for the virtual machine.

  In any case if you can not run the virtual machine, you can use vmware converter to perform the conversion between server and workstation. It is a good tool and it does not hurt to learn how to use it

  Hope this helps you.

  Best wishes / Saludos.

  What if you try https://: 8333 or https://vmserver1:8333 (without option)

  Try to use the FULL domain name to connect.

• How to start vmware after NFS mounts

  OK, so now I have solved the mystery of editing.  I'm looking for the gurus of linux on how to change the sequence of boot for mounts NFS are made prior to the VMware service.

  I use Centos 5.3 on the host.

  Phil

  Hello

  You must configure vmware to start after nfs and network.

  A simple example makes it easier to understand:

  LS /etc/rc3.d/S*network

  /etc/rc3.d/S10network

  LS /etc/rc3.d/S*nfs

  /etc/rc3.d/S11nfs

  LS /etc/rc3.d/S*vmware

  /etc/rc3.d/S05vmware

  In this case, it may be like this:

  RM /etc/rc3.d/S05vmware

  ln-s /etc/init.d/vmware /etc/rc3.d/S20vmware

  Today, vmware always will begin after the nfs mounts.

  A saludo/best regards,.

• Install VMWare Tools running under VMWare Server 2 Server

  I have converted a physical server using VMWare converter 4.

  When I start VMWare server 2 using the vmdk file converted - I need to install VMWare tools on this server.

  How do I do that?

  If you return to vCenter Converter, which you can do it from another machine that installed him as long as he has access to hard and you .vmx files product, there is an option to "configure the Machine' rather than 'Convert the Machine' and this should allow installation of the tools in the image. If the converted image actually starts on the server 2.0 then there is an option in the web interface (https://yourserver:8333) to install VMware Tools when the prompt is selected in the left pane.

  Your kernel is NOT linux-image - 2.6.26 but (of output) 2.6.30 - bpo.1 - 686

  See this page for a fix possible (the problem is common also for workstation):

• OK I installed VMWare Server 2, how can I connect?

  I downloaded and installed VMWare Server 2

  I have an icon called VMWare Server Home Page

  This IE opens on port 8333 seeking a VMware Infrastructure Web Access user name and password

  Where can I find these identifiers?  Technical support wasn't much help, advising me to register the product online.  When I do this it tells me that it is already registered.

  So, how can I start using VMWare Server?

  I must be being stupid sorry!

  Hello

  If you use windows (I think that you have administrator rights), add the password for your account. Enter your windows login and password to connect to the user Web interface.

• How to upgrade to vmware server

  I want to upgrade my vmware server 2 to the newer version I downloaded the current vmware server and start the installation.  The installation process asks me if I want to repair or remove.  I thought I'd have a got a msg asking if I wanted to upgrade.  Am I missing something?

  Go ahead and uninstall/remove.  Then install the new version.  Be sure that all your virtual machines are closed (non-suspended) before uninstalling.

  BTW, what version you are currently running?  (What build?)  Are you sure that you are actually updating the version/version number?

• The passage to vSphere VMWare Server 2.0?  How?

  Hello-

  I hope someone can point me in the right direction here.

  I'm under VMWare Server 2.0 on a box of 2300 Windows R2.  After having proven virtualization to management, I bought vSphere. Now I see that I need help to determine the best place to start with this migration project.  I have several questions, I hope someone can help with.

  #1.  VMWare Server 2.0 is the box now have is that I want to use with VSphere.  The problem I have is that I have four virtual servers running on this box.  Y at - it a conversion utility to move in and outside this area of VMware Server 2.0 in vSphere environment?   Is it possible to move to something like a Dell EqualLogix (which I have) and box of your choice in the vSphere environment? Should I worry about what it is?  If Yes, what?

  #2.  I have four physical servers that I will be the conversion to vSphere?  Is there a tool to help with this?

  Tips, links to documentation and of course any help is greatly appreciated!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Welcome to the VMware community forums!

  Basically the answer boils down to the use of VMware vCenter Converter

  But if you want to reuse the same box for vSphere/ESX you have a little problem with that chickens and eggs for the existing virtual machine

  You can however copy the VM out there to external storage and import them manually in vSphere later.

  To do this, you may need to use the vmkfstools command line tool to import the disks in the correct format.

  Hope this helps,
