• 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 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

• Installation of VMware Server 1 on Windows 7 as host

  I use Windows 7 as main OS for some time now and can't get VMware to work, I tried version 2 but no luck either. Version 1 Server Console will appear even, it needs a heart of CPU 100% usage and nothing happens after that, I tried to wait 20 minutes. Admin rights and compatibility mode did not turn, anyway. Y at - it advice or a workaround?

  BTW. I prefer really 1 server, but will use the server 2 If no other option

  Thank you!

  No, using as any other application.

  A tip for you that I take the discovery time is start Server Console always "as Administrator".

  You can't change some settings, include wise other network settings.

  I use a Linux VM to software development, my own Linux server in my book.

• VMware Server 2 on Windows 7 host

  There are seversl messages on installation of VMware server on Windows 7 problems.

  I tried to do, but I'm not able to get the operating system to start.

  I would like to get a definitive answer about agglomerates Windows Server is compatible with a Windows 7 host computer.

  I tried to install a Windows 2000 comments.

  Thank you

  Bill Bos

  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.

• 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.

• Can I run a machine virtual de VMware Fusion, VMware Server 2?

  I looked at a bunch of documentation confusing but couldn't find a clear overview of what VMware Server 2 does in fact.

  I hope that I can take the virtual machines that I've created with VMware Fusion and download them on VMware Server 2 on a server somewhere and run it from there.

  Is this possible?   Is there any clear, simple documentation that indicates how to proceed?

  Thanks for any information you can give me!

  Hello

  If you run the virtual machine in fusion directly in vmware server, these are the steps to follow:

  (1) find out where are the fusion virtual machine files.

  (2) stop & remove merge (do not remove fisically hd!) virtual machine.

  (3) copy files of the virtual machine of fusion to the vmware server host (with the .vmx file and the hard should be enough) in the directory you designate as data store for vm vmware server files in the installation of vmware server.

  (4) use the "adding a virtual machine to inventory" to navigate to the file .vmx of the virtual machine that you copied before

  (5) the machine running and try. (if a question arises, you say that you copied the VM).

  Maybe you should do some additional steps as reconfigure it the virtual machine under vmware virtual network install, but there are minor and easy changes.

  Here is some information about the files that make up a virtual computer: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_learning_files_in_a_vm.html

• 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.

  A saludo/best regards,.

• 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

• SLED 11 host - VMware Server 1 upgrade to VMware Server 2, former VM work now "(invalid).

  The other day, I upgraded my work, the latest installation of VMware Server 1 to the latest VMware Server 2 for linux 64. Everything went perfectly with the installation, except for the little matter that now my Windows Vista, Windows XP SP 3 and my VM Windows 2000 are listed as "not valid" in the inventory. They have never worked.

  What is the best way to start troubleshooting this?

  Sorry we couldn't get you go - I'm sure we could give enough time.

  If you have installed from the rpm package you should just be able to uninstall via an RPM EI and then will delete the virtual machines and their associated files.

• 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.

• Access the interface user Web de VMware Server 2 will crash Firefox 3.5

  Hello

  Trying to access the web interface installation of VMware Server 2 running on Enterprise Linux 5 update 2 64-bit

  using Mozilla Firefox 3.5 on XP causes Firefox to crash.

  Previous Firefox 3.0.11 version was able to connect and log in successfully.

  Everything in FF 3.5 cach has been deleted before trying to access the user interface. In addition, the certificate has also been removed before.

  When you access the UI first with 3.5 ist ask to accept the certificate (identical to 3.0.11)

  This will result in a blank page is displayed.

  Closing FF 3.5 (clear cache included) and re-open it at the interface of the web UI that causes FF crash.

  I m the only one to see this problem with the new Firefox 3.5 access to VMware Server 2 Web UI?

  Kind regards

  Although VMware-server - 2.0.1 - 156745.x86_64 has been out for a while, so I just assumed it was your version.

  Silly me

  Hope that cure your problem.

• Cannot run appliance virtual 64-bit on 64-bit capable of vmware server

  Kind regards

  I have VMware Server 2.0, running on a dell d630 latitue 32 - bit XP Pro on a windows-based

  Intel T7100 with EM64T and VT enabled cpu. According to the processor verification tool

  given here,

  my host is able to run 64-bit virtual

  machines.

  However, when I try to start virtual appliance, he repeats:

  Your CPU does not support long mode.

  Use a 32-bit distribution.

  I received the DVD of installation of the unit and tried to create a new virtual machine based on 64-bit RHEL5 (i.e. which, in my view, that the device is from), I had the same problem. I attach a log file of one of these for your convenience.

  Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

• VMware Server on Windows 2008 R2 Server Core installation

  Hi guys!

  I installed the latest version of Vmware server on our new Windows 2008 R2 Server core installation, but I have a problem with it. When I create a virtual computer and try to start the Web UI:

  General system error occurred: unable to connect to the virtual machine

  Do you know something about the nature of this message? The Server service not had access to the possuble vitrual machine? But how can it create if it doesn't have access? I have not found the log files created in the folder of the virtual machine.

  Thank you for your help.

  Kind regards

  Jeremy

  I think that Server Core is an unsupported operating system. Please take a look at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf (page 25)
