• Convert new Vmware server for VMware vSphere Hypervisor 3.5

  Hello

  Can someone tell me how to convert a more recent VMware Server to make it work with an older VMware vSphere Hypervisor 3.5?

  I just installed this version on an old IBM xseries 346, but I can't turn on the virtual machine. When you check the log it is said that the version is not compatible.

  Can you also tell me how to get rid of the warning of a 60-day trial. This version should be free?

  Thanks in advance

  You must go to the directory of the virtual machine before you can issue the vmkfstools command.

• News of vmware server 2.0

  I finally decided to try the new vmware server 2.0. I have been using the product server 1.x for 2 years now.

  I came across a problem immediately the bat. It is documented probably somewhere, but I don't know where to find the appropriate document.

  When I connect to the web service, he asked me a name of user and password. I don't know what they are supto the value.

  I did a search on the web and found references to the use of my login/password windows, but those who do not work either.

  Any suggestions on where to go from there (except back to 1.x)

  I had to do the above for my brother Vista Enterprise laptop. He had no account administrator and connected with his name which, said, has adminisrtrator privileges.

  Try the above and let me know what is happening with you.

• 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.

• VMWare Server 2.  How to add new series numbers?

  Good afternoon

  I have already installed VMWare Server.  When I try to run a new additional virtual machine or try to run a vmx file, always get the following message:

  "Error: there are not enough licenses installed to perform the operation."

  More data: power StatePowered off the OSOther 2.6 x Linux (32-bit) hardware virtual VersionVersion 4 VM updated DNS available NameNot

  I tried with multiple guest virtual machines, still the same message... then...

  Looks like I have no permit, then I downloaded from this URI: http://register.VMware.com/content/registration.html , 50 licenses.

  Well, I got a list of serial number 50 this way: XXXXX-XXXXXX.

  XXXXX-XXXXXX...

  but... no idea where to put them? !!! I gaze upward in the path, but I can't find any file, I also tried to display the Tomcat logs but nothing, docs wanted...

  That is the question:where should I put this serial numbers?

  Thank you.

  I know that there was a problem with the 2.0.0 server that did not

  You then enter serials in the user interface.  Don't know if this has been fixed

  2.0.1 or not.

  Uninstall, then reinstall, then enter the serial number during installation.

  I'm not supported, but there is little valuable documentation on this unfortunately set command.

  To change the network, such as the addition of interfaces more host-only, simply launch vmware - config.pl even if doing so requires all VMs running to be break-stop unfortunately.

• Risk of newer version of VMware Server comments

  Hi all

  I have a situation where I need to migrate a virtual in VMware Server 1.0.7 for 1.0.2 machine (by copy paste files and folders)

  Is there a risk involved as causing an incompatibility or corruption?

  Thank you.

  1.0.2 is old enough. I would try to avoid this situation. Better update the other server 1.0.9 (more real).

  It depends on the operating system host and guest. You should read the release notes for each version and try to decide on them.

• Graduating from VMware Server to ESXi

  As I said in another forum, I take my virtual business and contemplate the correct path.  After reflection, I feel that vSphere Essentials Plus may be the 'end of the road' for us.  This end of the road is several months, or even years, away.  I want to do is expose the plan of base here and let you guys and girls look over and tell me if I'm off track.

  Currently we have three hosts, one running VMware Server 1.02, another running server 1.06, the last and most recent is running Server 2.01.

  I bought a new server with another machine which is the equivalent in power, but not under the name of storage space.  Currently, it is not used.  So basically, I have four machines capable of being the host machines.  In addition, when I am finished with an Exchange migration, I have yet another machine with enough power to be a host.

  While I have a lot of machines available, I think I'll only be using a total of three machines in the end.  The two most recent machines and the current Exchange computer.  The rest will be moved to other functions or simply disappear (EBAY FTW!).

  My plan is to install ESXi on the two most recent physical machines.  Move more, if not all, of my current virtual machines for them.  If necessary, I'll pull the Exchange machine retreat in the mix for a total of three ESXi hosts.  For a period of time, I will simply use ESXi hosts and the customer vShpere to control.  When I find it is unmanageable, I'll add vSphere Essentials Plus and a SAN to the mix for my goal of end of maximum availability, fault tolerance and manageability.  Obviously the big breakpoint as soon as now the San that this single purchase would consume most of my annual budget.

  In any case, the only thing I like about running VMware Server ESXi vs is that it runs so that I can directly access files of the virtual machine on the host computer for backups, etc..  From what I see, if I install ESXi on these hosts, I won't be able to move, copy, back up virtual machines in a very easy way.  I have read, it can be done with the remote command line Interface, but I'm having a time difficult to determine if it works with ESXi or not.

  So here are my questions:

  (1) anyone see anything wrong with the plan?

  (2) understanding that I simply can't afford a SAN and vSphere Essentials most right now, is there a way I can safely access the virtual machines on ESXi for backups?  This can be automated?

  (3) looking forward, what is the less expensive, more powerful SAN for up to 3 servers?  I think maybe a Dell MD3000 or possibly a PS4000 EMC.

  Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me.

  > 1). Anyone see something wrong with the plan?

  ESXi has limited hardware compatibility list, so first you must make sure that esxi will work on your hardware. HCL is a list of the certified material, so your host doesn't have to be on HCL, but NIC and RAID cards must be.

  > 2). Understanding that I simply can't afford a SAN and vSphere Essentials most right now, is it possible that I can safely access the virtual machines on ESXi for backups? This can be automated?

  Yes, but you always buy the less essential to use VCB.

  > 3). Looking forward, what is the less expensive, more powerful SAN for up to 3 servers? I think maybe a Dell MD3000 or possibly a PS4000 EMC.

• 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.

• Move a VM from VMWare Workstation 7 to VMWare Server 2

  Hi all:

  I had to create a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 7 manually prepare and now I need to move it to VMWare Server 2, which is used to run automated tests. It is our usual working process.

  I would like to know if there is a problem with it, because the process of setting up the machine took several hours, install programs, and to configure, you know.

  Should I edit the .vmx file? I copied the machine using scp, since the destination that VMware Server is installed on a remote computer; I can access which the machine in ssh and web.

  Thanks in advance for your attention and your time and best regards,

  Luis

  If the virtual machine was powered (non-suspended) offshore before moving them to the destination, you should be able to turn on without problems. Both VMware Workstation 7.x and VMware Server 2.x can use hardware virtual version 7 (http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003746), which is probably the most important thing.

  If you don't know, create a snapshot before you turn on the virtual machine to the remote site, in this way that the virtual disks have changed.

  If the copied virtual machine snapshots, you will not be able to come back to them on the new hardware if they were taken while the virtual machine is running.

• 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.

• New Vcenter server and host add

  Hello, we are planning to create a new server Vcenter.  Had a bunch of weird issues with Vcenter.  Vcenter 5.1 on Windows running.  have not decided if we will use the VCenter, or create a new virtual machine from Windows to Vcenter again but I don't think that will count for my question.

  My plan is to turn off HA and DRS on the old server Vcenter, then remove a host from the old server Vcenter, and then add this host on the new Vcenter server.  Then just repeat the process for each host.

  My question is, should I turn off any virtual machine running on the hosts before removing the old server vcenter?

  If I remember correctly you have not, the virtual machine must remain in place and running, no connectivity should be lost and users should not not the difference.  We plan to do this off-peak hours, but there are always a couple of vm that are used 24/7.  It would be therefore rather not have to stop first.

  Thank you

  Hi defrogger

  Yes, it's the right way to migrate a new vCenter ESX Server.

  Disable HA/DRS and then disconnect the ESXi, vCenter server and plug them into the new vCenter.

  By disabling the DRS, you will lose the Resource Pools. So its maybe you assign only manual DRS.

  Another thing that many people forget are the options of the virtual machine on the cluster options. they have been set up again on the new cluster.

  BTW. There is a guide of vmware:

• VMware Server Version 2.0.2 - migrate VM to ESXi 5.5?

  Hey guys

  I use an old Dell T410 with VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) server running on top of serving 2008R1.

  I'm looking to install a new server and you want to run ESXi 5.5.

  Is it possible to convert VM VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) to ESXi 5.5?

  Otherwise I'm running Shadowprotect. If I can't convert, is it possible to do a HIR to ESXi 5.5 from an image of a VM from VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) Shadowprotect?

  Finally, I was looking for to run ESXi 5.5 Essentials (not more) on the new physical host and then use the old host as a temporary backup with ESXi 5.5 too. I have to buy 2 x 5.5 ESXi licenses to run it on both machines?

  If you want more specifications about the network made me know.

  Kind regards

  Aaron

  Hello

  You must convert the virtual server computers to be able to run on ESXi 5.5.

  Take a look at this, it is perhaps useful:
