• 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.

• Windows and Linux running on vSphere Hypervisor

  I want to run VMware directly on my hardware (bare metal) and run Ubuntu and Vista as virtual machines without going to dual boot; or run Ubuntu as a host and run Vista as a client of the virtual machine.  I read a few users manual for the hypervisor and got confused however.  Looks like you must have 3 physical servers and 6 GB of RAM?  Now, I'm not sure that this product is for me.  I liked it because it was free.  I'm looking at the right software?

  just in case you're not clear on this point, which I think is maybe not

  If you install esxi, you will need another pc to access the virtual machines on esxi.

  the only thing you can do on the esxi console is management and configuration of the host.

  You can't on the console of the virtual machines.

  so you would haveto have 2 pcs.

  1 esxi under vista and ubuntu

  2nd pc to connect to vista and ubuntu on the network machines.

• Problem with the video for "VMware vSphere Hypervisor - install and configure.

  Hello

  In this page: https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/evalcenter?lp=default & p = free-esxi5

  When you click on the "Installation and configuration" tab, we have access to videos for vSphere Hypervisor.

  But at the moment, none of the video can be shown.  I tried this in my computer at home as well as my company computer and none works.

  Someone who works for VMware please check this problem.

  Thank you

  OK, I just found what was "wrong".  These videos are "optimized" for Internet Explorer!   Yes, I tried on Firefox and Chrome on XP Pro and Win7, nothing worked.  Then after reading your message, I thought ' what happens if I try that? "  ... and indeed, the videos are displayed inside, I.e. I got suddenly a bad feeling, like I was back at the beginning of the 21st century!

  Come on!  Who would still do 'optimized' only website to know today?   I'm sure they will not be displayed on my Tablet either.

  I found these videos on YouTube:

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Xss_2Qx51fU

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=ZHUjDWpHJvU

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=_MofPJsG9gQ

  I think they are the same videos (but the quality is really bad... 360 p.: geez!).  Could someone confirm that they are indeed the same as those in vmware.com?  THX

  PS: Oh, on the section "Help", I found it at help | United States but I've seen no paragraph telling me how to report a problem on the website.

• Convert the physical Linux machine with VMware Converter Standalone 4.0.1 on VMware Workstation

  Hello

  I work in a virtualization project, now I test and I want to test the new version of the converter, because I need to convert some Linux machines and I know that with this version is not difficult.

  I do not have the ready virtual infrastructure so I test on a workstation environment. I would like to know if someone has converted a physical Linux machine to virtual and if the destination has VMware workstation 6.5. I know that this is not supported, but this does not mean that you couldn't do.

  When I have to specify the type of destination, I got the error that you could see on the photo.

  Please let me know if you have tested this before and you know how to solve this problem.

  Thanks in advance!

  See you soon

  Malulas,

  Welcome to the Community Forums.

  To do a physical to virtual conversion, you MUST GO to ESX.  It is a requirement under the guidance of the user manual.

  If the virtual machine was already in ESX, you might be able to export to a workstation image while the ESX VM is powered off.

  Sorry for the bad news.

  Kind regards

• Linux hosts: how to use Eclipse gdb cross debugger for application in time real c / c ++.

  Hello
  I have a Linux (CentOS 7) on which I have installed Eclipse and:
  Compilers C & C++ GNU for Linux ARMv7 (Linux host) 2014

  I am able to build and run the sample application on my target (sbRIO-9651) "hello world" described in:

  I'm not able to do, it's to my request for debugging.  I can't find the equivalent of "arm-nilrt-linux-gnueabi - gdb.exe' on my Linux host.

  Anyone know how to configure the debugger for this configuration?

  I tried to start debugging with the default options and this is the message I get in the 'console' (I have replace the IP address x.x.x.x)

  Hello

  OK, I did some download and testing yesterday and today and I found a tool chain that strives to do remote debugging a c application / c++ on a sbRIO-9651 with CentOS 7 host operating system.

  You must download this Linaro Toolchain for Cortex-A

  Once on the page go in the section "Linaro Toolchain for Cortex-A" and download the second link linux "linaro-toolchain-binary (big-endian).  The binary gdb is here, so you must point towards him in the Eclipse debug configuration.

  You may need to install the library added to your operating system.

• HOW TO GET THE LOGIC OF A LINUX HOST DISKS, TO CREATE RULE

  I need to create a rule to monitor some logic to a linux host, not all discs.

  Thank you!!!

  You can use a scope query something like this:

  LogicalDisk where name = '/ etc '.

  or

  LogicalDisk name in {' / ', '/ etc', "foglight"}

  or

  LogicalDisk where name match '. * tc.*'

  or

  LogicalDisk where name like '% tc % '.

  You can extend this to only certain hosts with something like this:

  LogicalDisk where name = '/ etc' and monitoredHost.name = 'abcdef1234.domain.com. '

• moving from windows to linux host host

  Does anyone have any experience with workstation pro 12 comments mobile from windows to a linux host computer host?

  If Yes, can it be done?

  Thanks for your time.

  Hello

  Yes, this is no problem at all.

  Your VMS even will run on a Linux machine as they did under a windows host.

  The only problem is that if you link to a resource that explicitly is windows-only.

  For example. A share under a numbered car won't work, or not a cdrom on D:\

  Your VM will indicate on startup. BTW, when he asked 'have you move or copy' then choose 'move' otherwise your virtual hardware will get new hardware ID and for windows which means triggering activation.

• Cannot convert physical server Linux

  Hello

  I'm trying to convert a Machine physics Linux with vCenter Converter Standalone 5.5.3 but it always fails at the beginning (VmCreationFault.summary).

  Everything is ok with respect to communications between the physical machine and the converter, with regard to the vCenter.

  Do you know what to do to get this conversion?
  

  
  

  HM, looking again at the partition incriminated, it's actually a swap partition. It should be pretty harmless to call disable, delete the partition, re-create it again with the right size and call swapon. However, although there is a change in the disk partition information, a backup is a good idea...

• Install vmware tools on the linux host offline

  Hello world

  I run a Fedora 10 VM using vmware player 3.1.2 on a crowd of Ubuntu 10.04. I'm trying to install vmware tools, but my host doesn't have access to the internet.  I've seen a few posts on how to install vmware tools offline on a windows host (http://communities.vmware.com/thread/245195), but the advice given may not be valid for linux hosts.  I downloaded vmware-tools-linux - 8.4.4 - 301548.x86_64.component.tar of http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/ but this tar file contains a .component file (not an .iso that post said).  My question is what I should do with the .component file to install vmware tools?

  Thanks in advance,

  -Jordaan

  Hi Jordaan,

  Welcome to the forums.

  Try the following:

• Access to the network bridge works do not (Linux host & comments)

  I am running VMware Player 3.0.1 on Fedora Core 10. (I know this is not one of the host of the OS supported; could this be the problem?)

  I built a virtual machine with a virtual adapter connected by a bridge and am under Fedora Core 10 also in the virtual machine. The virtual machine does not have any network access.

  I followed all the advice of troubleshooting to the Knowledge Base article 1008367 (at http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1008367 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 77717080 & stateId = 0% 200% 2077715760) does not.

  On the Linux host, vmnet-bridge is running.

  / dev/vmnet0, / dev/vmnet1 and/dev/vmnet8 all exist.

  However, the Configuration GUI network (under GNOME) lists vmnet1 material devices, vmnet8, eth0 (it's my actual physical network interface), and the so-called pan0.

  On the virtual machine, I think I have configured the network correctly.

  ping an address on my LAN IP said "the network is inaccessible." (The same ping succeeds on the host).

  Clues to understand why the network access doesn't work?

  Ok

  Start by checking that the Fedora 10 vNIC is connected on the audit: VM configuration-> network adapter Bridge-> Connect at power on (must be verified).

  So when the guest of Fedora 10 begins the vNIC should be upward.

  If the eth0 is not upward, you should be able to install and configure then. You can search on the net how to set up the network on a host of Fedora 10. I recommend that you use just the console text to do so.

  Don't forget to configure fedora network depending on the configuration of your LAN (static or dhcp).

  Let me know if it works or not

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• Frames extended on linux hosts

  We frames configuration throughout all our network settings and have it work.  The interesting thing and my question of why:

  On linux hosts (all that I tested) and same vmxnet3 if the MTU is set to 1500, s 9000 host ping works fine.

  Is this normal?  There is no need of ifconfig eth? mtu 9000 on the hosts as in the physical world?

  Packets are probably be fragmented.

  Try a "ping s 9000 - M x.x.x.x" to not address the no fragment bit.  Also, try the ping command with a packet size of 10000, if those who work very well, the packets are fragmented.

  I hope this helps!

• Install Linux host - need to install some 1st time help

  I am trying to install "Server 2.0.1" on a Linux host (Kubuntu 9.04 'Wild'). I have reviewed the user guide and install the docs, but need jump start information so I can go.

  1. after installation of VMware server, install the Windows XP operating system together?

  (a) install the Windows XP operating system using a virtual machine console

  -OR-

  boot from the Windows CD and do a bunch fresh duel b) install along side Linux?

  -OR-

  (c) is it better to have Linux and Windows OS is installed before installing VMware Server?

  I probably have more questions, but I will stop here until I get some advice on how to proceed.

  Thank you!

  You can do everything above - normally, I would say to do a clean hd and partition it if you have what you need for the two operating systems - or use a tool such as Partition Magic to calve until you already have (if you do not want to go back to a clean slate).

  The benefits are that each OS can see the equipment (and use) it's own - so multimedia will be better - but you have to devote resources in advance.

  You can have Linux and XP installed with the server at a time, running the opposing OS... which is a bit random!

• How to change the virtual IP addresses in 6.5.1 on the Linux host?

  I am running Workstation 6.5.1 on a 64-bit Linux host (Fedora 10).

  The application of "Virtual Network Editor" is distinguished by its equivalent in Windows.  It is quite reduced in functionality.

  What I need is a way to change the virtual IP addresses.  In the editor, I can only change the overall range of subnet (network address and the sous-masque).  It works very well.  However, I can not change the individual IP addresses in there.

  In particular, I need to change:

  .1 = the host itself

  .2 = services internal VMware (server proxy DNS, router, gateway, NAT, DHCP etc.)

  How can I assign these on Linux?  Pour.2, I saw the "nat.conf" file in the directory/etc/vmware, under the number of the device (in my case vmnet8) vmnet.   Pour.1, I've seen this in a number of places, the DHCP server, and others.  Where does get this information from VMware?  What I don't want is to have to change this IP address in many places, because it will become easy to get out of sync.

  If I just use "ifconfig" to change the IP address, it is an approach of brute force that works, but of course it will not survive a reboot.

  Traditional networks of the host Linux tools are unaware of the vmnet addresses.  Somewhere, they are configured with VMware, not the distribution of the host.  So, I wonder where it is.

  Thank you!

  Josh

  Josh,

  Here is what I do on my VMWare Wks 6.5.2:

  Files to edit:

  1 /etc/vmware/vmnetx/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf

  Change the following:

  (a) range

  (b) option domain-name-servers {10.10.10.254}

  (c) {10.10.10.254} option routers

  2 /etc/vmware/vmnetx/nat/nat.conf

  Change the following:

  (a) {10.10.10.254} ip - address of the NAT gateway.

  3 /etc/init.d/vmware script

  (a) check a function called vmwarestartvmnet()

  (b) after the/vmware-networks - the beginning of the line, add:

  ifconfig vmnetx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx {ip host address we want to}-> vmnet1 ifconfig 10.10.10.253

  This works perfectly for me. The only thing is that, once you change these files, make sure that you get a copy of them. Otherwise after any update or configuration change who will be overwritten.

  I hope that VMWare will come with a better way to do that instead of hacking these files manually.

  HTH,

  -Daniel.
