• installation of VMware server 2 on Windows XP disabled multiuser mode

  I just installed VMware server 2 on my Windows XP machine and it seems to have disabled the multi user mode.  When I rebooted, the home screen is no longer present and I can't turn it back on.  Is this known behavior or something I can turn off?  It is even supported under XP?

  The product is not technically supported under XP or Vista is a server product but a lot of people seem it work very well.

  What about Fast User Switching (FUS), refer to this article - allow quick user on the Windows host change

  Hello

  certainly the Windows 7 operating system is not supported by vmware server 2. So many questions can happens.

  I recommend you use other vmware products that support Windows 7 as for example 7.01 Workstation or player 3.01. You can also take a look at the (free) esxi 4.0 U1.

  In addition, vmware will drop any kind of support for vmware server 2 in 06/2011.

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• Installation of VMWare Server 2 breaks network connections

  I just install VMWare Server 2 on a Dell 1950 with Windows 2008 Enterprise Server.  He must have done something to the network settings because I can not remote on the server more.  Anyone know what happened?  I have Microsoft Virtual Server software installed on the same server.  Which would cause a conflict?

  Any advice would be great.

  Thank you
  Greg

  I had MS Virtual Server installed VMware Server 2, but it was on a Windows 2003 host.

  Server installation adds two virtual networks.  (VMnet1 and VMnet8.)  Try disabling the and see if you can remote into.  Otherwise, if you uninstall the server, are you able to distance in the host again?  (These are the solutions, just in troubleshooting).

• Installation of VMware server redundent

  We run a server VMware (VMware ESX Server version 3.5.0 Update 2).  I have about 8 virtual machines running on the server.  We backup each virtual machine in the virtual machine, not outside of it.  I want to buy an additional VMware Server which will provide redundancy.  The second server VMware will also store some VMS, but there will be enough space on the two servers if you die, I can restore to another.  Someone please lead me in the right direction?  I.E. - is there a component of VMware that I need to follow both servers support between them?  Outside the redundant material, purchase another license complete for VMWare ESX Server?

  Hello

  Need you depends on the level of redundancy, you need.  Here are some examples... If you have X ESX hosts you will need X licenses regardless of the method of redundancy.

  Using VMware HA failover mode, this requires a shared either NFS over TCP (NAS), iSCSI, or SAN storage. Some of the features of type available non - NAS NAS are HP LeftHand Networks VSA and Xtravirt XVS. The latter two run from your ESX and VMS host and maintain redundancy between the nodes.

  Redundancy via SAN/NAS replication is also available and VMware SRM fits in do SAN/NAS to SAN/NAS replication.

  Redundancy through replication using elements such as Veeam Backup and Vizioncore vReplicator, which are tools of software replication to replicate virtual machines from one node to another.

  Redundancy via the backup and restore. This method VMs from one host backups and restores to another host. It is very similar to the replication but heavier.

  How redundancy you want depends a bit much you are willing to spend, but if you have 1 node and you want to replicate to another node, you need at least 2 licenses of VMware ESX to get there.

• VMware server in Vista and 64-bit hosts

  Hello...

  I have a DELL Latitude E6400 laptop with Intel P8600 processor.

  I installed VMware Server 2 on Vista Business 32-bit Edition.  It works but I cannot create virtual machines in 64-bit.

  Can someone explain to me why?

  THX.

  To run 64-bit clients, you must make sure that you have intel VT turned on in your bios.  Go into your BIOS and see if this option is enabled.  Without it, you cannot install a 64-bit client.  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=1901

• 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

• 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.

• VMWare Server Auto walk stop VM

  The documentation states that you must activate this option when installing VMServer 2. I installed 3 times now looking for AN option in addition to the locations on the disk and can't find anything. In the management console, there are options for start/stop with the host, however, virtual machines any "off" to start. The documentation says "Note to allow the virtual machine to be started and stopped on a Windows host, you must also select Allow virtual machines to start and stop automatically with the system during the installation of VMware Server.»

  Can someone tell me the buttons to activate this option?

  Thank you

  Bill

  If you select a computer and then click "Move up", it should become "activated" when it hits the sections 'Specified order' or 'Any order' and you can then change the settings to set the start or stop (as long as you have administrator privileges). Please see the attached screenshots.

  A witch hunt to start during the startup of the host if you have virtual machines on a data store that is not available at startup, for example sometimes if it's on an external or drive network rather than local.

• 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.
