Is VMware Server still in development?

Hi all

I really like VMware server, but I see that there are no updates for a while. I understand that it is a free product of VMware, so it gets all the updates, but it's almost half a year ago with the last update. And there are some problems with the new operating systems such as Ubuntu 10.04. For my work as a VMware esx or I is not an option, otherwise I was moved to these solutions. So there there will be updates for VMware server?

Thank you in advance.

A possible answer here: http://www.vmware.com/support/policies/lifecycle/general/index.html#policy_server

VMware Server has been declared end of availability January 2010. Support will be limited to the technical guidelines for the duration of the support period.

  • Software and Vmware Server 2.0.2


    Hello

    In our project, we still have a legacy VMware Server 2.0.2 and I would like to know how it is affected (if any) by software. Y at - there a patch available? or any workaround that I have to ask?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello

    VMware server 2 is end of live for 2011...

    So, no official patch vmware will be available.

    Maybe if you search the web, you'll find something.

    You should take in mind for migrating from vmware server to another vmware product.

    In any case, if your vmware server is not directly connected to the INTERNET, the risk should not be so high.

  • 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.

  • VMware server 1.0.3 on OpenSuSE: plugin Vmware is not available

    Hello
    I am currently evaluating hyperic as a surveillance system for our 250 + growing virtual machines.
    I have download 3.0, installed the agent on one of the servers but did not get any info on virtual machines. I came here and it seems that there are some problems and a bug filed by someone else. so I downloaded sigar - 3.0.4 and updated the directory of the KDP. I'm still not anything on my virtual machines and all I get is VMware controls library not available.this is an extract from the log on the server:
    at java.lang.Thread.run (unknown Source)
    Caused by: org.hyperic.hq.measurement.monitor.LiveMeasurementException: error Plugin: control VMware library is not available
    at org.hyperic.hq.measurement.agent.client.AgentMonitor.getLiveValues(AgentMonitor.java:224)
    something to try?

    OK, libvmcontrol-helper that is missing is the problem.  I don't know exactly what it is, but vmcontrol64.so expects it to be there.  I can reproduce the problem with the command chmod - x libvmcontrol-helper.  How did you install VMware Server?  I have always used the. tar.gz installer from vmware.com, when unzipped the file is located here:
    VMware-server-distrib/lib/bin/libvmcontrol-helper

    You may just be able to copy this file without making a complete reinstallation to work things out.

  • VMware Server 2 migration

    Hello group, we set off on virtualization, we used until present time server 2, checking on these pages, I've read about free vSphere.

    I downloaded ISO and the customer. When you start to use it, it says I have 60 day trial.

    Can please briefly explain you what is free and what is not?

    Thanks in advance.

    FM

    The basic vSphere 4/5 hypervisor is free, who has at least as many features as VMware Server 2.

    However, you must still apply for a license (which is free) to get rid of the warning of 60 days.  Follow these steps:

  • Vmware server Web Access 2 does not work

    Dear vmware community:

    First of all thank you for taking the time to read this.

    I have a problem that looks like this isn't the first time that this happens, Yes, I was still unable to find an adequate solution.

    We have vmware server 2 is installed on a Debian 5 machine. Until yesterday, it was working fine.

    Today, when I tried to access to via web browser as usual, the page not load (the browser would say 'done, but the name of the page says "Loading").

    We have one of the virtual machines that are configured to start automatically, and it does not work as expected. The other I can't handle because I can't have the vmrun run perhaps (related?). So far, the only things that doesn't seem to work is web access only.

    There is one thing to note: after a restart of the computer, or restart the vmware mgmt, the service called "VMware Virtual Infrastructure Web Access" would show anything (while other services say "done" at the end of each line).

    I saw other people with similar problems here, and generally the solution was to reinstall the vmware server all on this machine. I would avoid this of course.

    Did someone already experienced this? Where I can look for more information on the VMware VI Web Access service won't start not (I do not know where are stored the logs of this service, maybe that can help).

    Please let me know if I should add any information, such as newspapers, etc.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    I would recommend you check carefully this post and this post another may also help.

    Have you checked the vmrun documentation? Take a look at the file that I downloaded on this post.

    I would like to know if one of my tips work for you (or not)

    Hola, tengo varios servidores con Vmware server 1.0 2.0 y y estoy valorando el pasarlos an ESX 4.0, is that he read Dan mucho mas performance than estas versiones. I have several dudas Development Qué os agradeceria me ayudarais a program of resolution:

    No me importa pay for ESX 4.0 model, but what differences the ESXi gratuita con Hay con respecto the capabilities?

    ¿mediante pueden traspasar las maquinas copiandolas, como he hecho alguna vez office between 2 Vm server 2.0 ESX 4.0 al (o ESXi)?

    También voy a montar nuevos, usually instalo servidores 3 maquinas office, 1 con linux y otras 2 con Win2003-2008 by Terminal Server's Active Directory cada una, what're mejor, montar discos duros rapidos (sas) o poner 2 processors fisicos?

    Gracias.

    Hola,

    El hecho usar el esxi free dificulta a poco (o mucho depende para only) Administration del día a Día del entorno esxi.

    Las and/or mas una obvias tiene el free esxi are that for example any faffa you will have provide una para esxi backup respond. Have usar things scripts of the VMWare para programar una comunidad como forma automated los backups, without is las soportan jumbo frames, the VI API are en modo lectura (eso limited you one that no other realize mediante don't scripts Quarto tasks you en entorno virtual), etc...

    Te paso UN link para veas as caracteristicas las get licenses of VMWare pago.

    Para el proceso virtualizacion you recomendaria usases el vmware converter 4.01 as in the majority of cases facilitated the Migración.

    Respecto has the las CPU pregunta y discos, cuando to virtualiza para reaching a good level of page are important disponer o the processor cores. In principio few mas mejor.

    Pero igual o mas important las CPU are UN acceso a rapido disco (e/s). A menudo suele ser el of botella in los entornos virtualizacion cuello.

    Por tanto siempre are mucho mejor usar discos en vez as sata sas y cuando mejores caracteristicas (lectura/escritura RAM, Cordless, etc.) tenga controladora of discos del virtualizador, better than best.

  • Could not load the interface Web VMware Server 2

    Hello

    It seems that there have been a number of users has a problem similar to mine. Unfortunately so far it seems not be an easy fix. A few weeks ago, I downloaded VMware Server 2.0.2 and installed on my Ubuntu 8.04 Server. Surprisingly, it worked very well and I set up a virtual machine via the web interface. It took 3 weeks later I started having problems. Or, when I tried to access the web interface through the browser page just came not upward or it came I have connected, but then was then put on the door.

    Initially, I have done the following but doesn't seem to help.

    -Reboot the system

    -Restart all vmware services

    -Delete all cookies and cache.

    Then I thought that this question had to do with the process of webaccess. It seems that the process was not because for a very short period of time, the connection appeared and I was able to connect. But after a short period of time, it displays an error and then the connection was unreachable again.

    I checked the port 8308 below:

    netstat - LNP | grep: 8308

    TCP 0 0 0.0.0.0:8308 0.0.0.0: * LISTEN 5754/webAccess

    Here is the response from audit ipv6:

    netstat - LNP | grep tcp6

    ping6-c1 localhost

    Unknown host

    I disabled it by changing of ipv6 on off in the etc/modprobe.d/aliases.

    My hosts file resembles the following:

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    127.0.1.1 web web.cinci.rr.com

    The following lines are desirable for the hosts with IPv6 support

    : 1 localhost ip6 ip6-loopback

    FE00::0 ip6-localnet

    FF00::0 ip6-mcastprefix

    FF02::1 ip6-allnodes

    FF02::2 ip6-allrouters

    FF02::3 ip6-allhosts

    I have attached the file proxy.log. I saw a few exceptions so don't know if this has to do with the problem.

    Also, I've included the hostd.log (it's in a zip archive because there are a few files of newspapers spend). I have

    Finally, I checked all the active internet connections and sockets. The results are below:

    Finally, just to try to "start over". I removed VMware Server system and reinstalled. Since the virtual machine is in a separate Directory I thought I had nothing to lose. Removal and resettlement seem to succeed. After a reboot and an attempt to access the interface web it STILL didn't work. I'm really at a loss right now. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

  • VMware Server 2.0 CIFS data store bug?

    I posted this problem a few weeks ago, but I still can't solve, then I write it again with new information on the problem. I think it could be a bug in VMware Serever but I am not certain about it.

    I use VMware server 2.0.2 (b203138) with a Windows 7 Ultimate x 86 as vmware server host and configuration of the NAS data store. The data store hosts all virtual machines, including the ones configuration files, and it's a shared folder located in a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x 86 SP2. The network mode working group, not in mode active directory.

    Symptoms of the problem:

    • If you stop or restart the host server, when it is once again the CFS data store is unusable and VMS are inaccessible, even if all of them were arrested at the time of the restart.

    • The option to update the data store does not solve anything.

    • If the NAS data store is deleted and recreated from scratch, the machines are still not accessible. It is also necessary to remove and re-add the VMs.

    • If you only reboot the VMware services then you lose not the NAS data store or virtual machines.

    • If you only reboot the NAS then also you don't waste either the data store, or virtual machines, although they were in operation when you rebooted the NAS; the same happens if you stop communication network between the host server and the NAS.

    • A delay in starting services VMware does not solve anything.

    • I tried the start VMware services in manual mode, to be sure that there is full access to the NAS before starting the service, but VMware is still losing the NAS data store and virtual machines, this isn't a problem with permissions to access the network or network connectivity.

    Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    This applies to all the BONES that I know. VMWare server 2.x just keeps the security attributes for authenticated access to CIFS shares underlying network based data stores you set.

    I see some information that it's actually worked in server 1.x version, but I can only confirm.

    I don't know if it is a bug or by design since this behavior has persisted through several versions 2.x, it can be design to users of reader for commercial versions.

    Good luck

  • Vmware server 2.0 problem bridge host Ubuntu Windows xp reviews

    Hello

    I have a problem of bridge on my ubuntu with Vmware server 2.0.

    The guest is using windows xp with the flexible adapter.

    The network of the client works ok, but when I try to access a Web server in the comments, it cannot connect.

    Every incoming request is denied.

    Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

    First install the VMware tools inside the prompt and change "vlance' to 'vmxnet. Otherwise, you have only 10 Mbit/s.

    Make sure you use truly fulfilled andf not NAT. When you use NAT the guest can go outside, but it is not accessible from outside (if you had posted "ifconfig" and "ipconfig" I could tell you directly).

    Looks like there is still a firewall somewhere between the two. What oyu protection virzus use? Some of them, like TrendMicro, have their own firewall.

    The host cannot ping the prompt?

  • Vmci using api with vmware server

    Hello world

    I use vmware server 2.0.2 and I would like to share memory between the host and the virtual system. So, I found an API called VMCI which is available in the 2.0 Server (and Workstation 6.5).

    But I have not found the two sample applications provided (usr/share/doc/vmware/vmware-vmci/samples/or C:\Program Tools\VMCI\SampleApplications\README from VMware).

    Can you tell me where I can get these please the sample?

    Thank you. ARM

    I'm not I'm sorry, but that doesn't mean there is not No. You can get more hits if you post in the developer communities. Host communications direct comments any is generally deprecated for security reasons, it is probably why there are not many, if any, API in this area.

  • 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.
