Open Source based VMware and storage alias server

I explored Open Source of SUN storage products and found using COMSTAR with VMware to be really interesting. This is the first of its kind when it comes to Open Source storage products.

I created a blog about this entry, if you are interested.

Kind regards

Good article Mike. However, the current provision of your blog, it is really hard to read, I prefer always black font and light background... I created a short article that relates to yours!

  • vCenter Server Open Source

    I would really like to try/explore the Linux vCenter which 'so-called' exists.  However, in the downloads section, you can find the source code.  There is no documentation (that I can find), I can't find an installer of any kind.  I don't see even a virtual appliance for it.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    It is not an open source version of vCenter Server.

    What you see are the Open source (like tomcat) used in vCenter Server part.

    But are not enough to make a vCenter to work (without ads) on Linux.

    There is a project to make a port for Linux (note that this does not mean that he will be a free software or open source full). But I'm under the non-delivery report for the next products so I can't say much more.

  • Open Source Code

    My client just asked if I use the open source coding.  Most of my sites are basic HTML sites developed in Dreamweaver.

    I'm not sure 100% means that what open source coding.  I looked around the internet but can't seem to understand what it is and if a site based in DW is considered "open source code".

    Any help is appreciated.

    I see two possible situations here. One possibility is that your client is just as much in the dark on open source as you, and it is just using a word in fashion to make sure that he is dealing with someone who is "with him. On the other hand, it could be that he is not sure whether to trust you.

    If this is the first case, you can simply say that the code you use does not come from a closed source, owner. You work to common standards, open.

    If it's the latter case, it wants to ensure that commitment, it will not in the end upward with code that no other developer will understand or easily customize if he decides on the part of company with you.

    What puts you in a position of weakness is your own lack of understanding of open source - and, certainly, it is not a concept that is easy to describe in a few words. If you had a better understanding of open source (test http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source), you could ask with confidence for more details on what your customer is interested. It is quite possible he was trying to find out if you're heavily into Drupal, jQuery or one other project open source. Projects open source have a large development community. So, if things do not work, the customer knows that he will probably find someone else for the position. If you write custom code, switch to another developer is more complicated.

  • VMware and VMware assessment Open Source downloads

    As I begin my quest of VCP, I noted that vSphere 4.1 is available as a 60-day evaluation copy.  I also noticed that most of VMWare products are available as an Open Source download.  What is the difference between the two?  Open source includes source code that needs to be compiled?  Open source includes all the features that downloads of evaluation?  After the expiration of my assessment of 60 days can re - install a new copy of the assessment?

    Also, I intend to use a machine virtual Workstation 7.1 on a single machine (2 E5450 image Intel processors, 32 GB memory, SATA 3 x 300 GB disks and dual gigabit NIC).  Workstation 7.1 is only a 30-day trial, how do I overcome this problem so I can continue studying the limit of 30 days?  Is there free workstation downloads that can run all the vSphere components?  What virtual machine, it can perform all the tricks of vSphere?

    I know it's quite a few questions, but I am planning for most eventualities.  Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated!

    I would like to buy a copy of the workstation. With enough resources, it seems that you have, you can nest several ESXi facilities such as virtual hosts and run the 32-bit clients within those. If you run vCenter and a shared storage VM directly as long as virtual machines in my computer, it is possible to create a nice mini data center on a single machine. It is possible to test most of the features of vSphere, including things like vMotion. The ability to run ESXi nested is directly supported by WS 7. I don't think it's possible in 5 WS.

  • VMware Workstation 8.0.2 and 4.0.2 Open Source player

    I was looking around the area of download for vmware player and I see that there are downloads for Mware Workstation 8.0.2 and 4.0.2 Open Source player. This means that we can build preinstalled vmware and use it for free?

    Thank you.

    No, but you can use different components in the available packages which are Open Source however the necessary basic elements for virtualization are not Open Source or a part of the Open Source packages available.  Suggest you read VMware Workstation 8.0.2 and player 4.0.2 Open Source License for more details.

  • Newb: How to install the utility customer infrastructure on the server? Which product? Open source Versions?

    I installed ESXi 3.5 with success to an old IBM eServer in my lab.  I used VMware-VMvisor-InstallerCD - 3.5.0_Update_4 - 153875.i386.iso.

    I was also able correctly to install "The VMware Infrastructure Client" on another system and use it to create a virtual of Windows 2008 machine.

    1. I would like to have the same capacity on the server that I now remote, but I don't know which product should be added and how you actually add it produces.

    2. in addition, I don't know if I even installed the 'good' version of the server. I hope that I have installed a version that I can continue to be used for an unlimited number of times. If I didn't, then I would like to know what version of VMware for my server, I should install so I can continue to learn and test with falling on "your evaluation has expired."  It took a while to get this set up and I don't want to keep doing this over and over again.

    3. is there any place on the VMware site which has represented product relationships? Who has drawn different platforms?

    I do not know if I use the 'correct' and don't know where to go to fix this. I think it's something that VMware do as simply as possible for beginners like me.

    Thank you very much

    vSphere is really a marketing term used in references to the VMware virtualization platform the datacenter version - it refers to the suite of vMware products has just published including ESX 4.0, ESXi 4.0 and vCenter 4.0 and other parts.  The previous version had a similar title Virtual Infrastructure 3 or VI-3 referring to the software suite consisting of ESX 3.x, ESXi 3.x, Virtual Center 2.x and other parts. VI - 3 and vSphere have their respective customers - the vSphere client can be used to manage vSphere components while the client VI-3, Virtual Infrastructure Client (VI Client) can only mange VI-3 components. Now with this base I will try to answer your questions

    • If you are using your server ESXi 3.5 vSphere client is part of an environment of vCenter vSphere - because as part of the upgrade [to vCenter 4.0 can handle a server ESXi 3.5 -

    • It is not a tool open source I know to be taken in charge or not supported.

    • The platform of the last and largest is the line of products - ESX, ESXi 4 and vCenter 4 vSphere 4

    • The best free platform is ESXi 4 - this is the State of the art virtualization platform - it is available for free, but you'll still have to record it with VMware to get a valid license.  VMware has also a hosted virtualization platform that turns over operation called VMware Server - but ESXi has a higher level of performance-

    Hope this clears up things

  • Certificate expired on a server that has only the client VMware and VMware workstation

    Our scanners detected security certificate expired vmware on a server. The only products currently running on this server are VMware workstation and the vSphere client. I looked in all the installed certificates and their lack of vmware. When I open a web browser and go to the IP address of servers using port 443 I get a message of invalid certificate and look a certificate it shows expired recently, and was published by VMware. Where can I find this certificate and what is used to indicated the products installed on this system?

    The certificate was for workstation server configurations (connection sharing VMs/Remote). Just disabled the sharing feature because it is not used.

    Find the certificate in the program data-file VMware. Could not find information on renewal, only how to replace it.

  • Download of understanding 'Download VMware vSphere Data Protection 6.0 - Open Source'

    Can someone explain to my what download "VMware vSphere Data Protection 6.0 - Open Source" actually offers?

    His text is 'Open Source Code for VMware vSphere Data Protection 6.0' and the OpenSource_VDP_6.0.0.zip ZIP file contains files like commons-validator - 1.4.0 - sources.jar (Apache Commons Validator).

    Thanks for me, illuminating Tom

    I guess that it may just be a reference of what free software was used for the construction of POS, but what is the practical use for this download all custmers?

    VMware, as virtually every software development company, incorporates certain open existing in their own proprietary source code. More open source licenses like the popular GNU General Public License (GPL) legally require you must publish the source code modified with your distribution of binary software (often under the same license).

    There is not really much of a practical use for end users, but it may be useful for other developers and software 3rd party development.

    The package open source includes the sources of the driver you mentioned and code to a number of tools and utilities that ESXi uses.  It does not include the code of source vmkernel.  This is a closed source product.
