• Can appeal to all colleagues VCPs, and vExperts there, you give me advice on how to start evangelizing VMware technology? How to create a free blog site? Is it possible to create free blog sites, as a start to qualify for a title of vExpert?

  Or contributes to the VMware community site enough as a criterion to become a vExpert? I just want to start evangelizing and sharing my virtualization/cloud computing knowledge and professional daily experiences as early as possible for some systems engineers of entry-level out there like me. Thank you very much. I hope that vExperts, or VCDXs out there can help me out on this important survey. Thank you guys so much!

  Thread has been moved to the virtual fair.

  About to start a blog there are many free solutions (see for example the Wordpress site).

  But it is not a magical set of tasks to become a vExpert... is not a certification where you will need to pass an exam.

  Have you seen the previous form of vExpert? There is a lot of point where you describe what you do.

  Blog site, twitter, VMware community, books, VMUG,... are simply a set of them.

  I can only suggest to just start, use Twitter and Google + (there is a good circle of John Troyer).

  Need help in the community, write some post, and so on...

• Searching for the VMware solution

  Hello, all:

  I am a new Member to the vmware community.  I'm managing a highly strategic project in a federal U.S. Agency where we use a VMware solution, but I don't know what's good for me.  I would be very happy if someone help me please identify the right solution.  Here are my requirements of project in brief:

  1. we have two separate, independent and parallel networks (or not) each connection of each twin on a remote site, emergency time where keep us copies of all of our applications and data in real time.  We will call these endpoints CL points (classified local), CR (classified remotely), UCL and RENS. Classified and unclassified networks do not communicate with each other at all - no exchange of data and no common share, etc.

  2. now, we want to adopt a virtual machine solution whereby we would start with a hosting server of VMware (preferably by Dell) and a SAN/NAS storage system - for each of the two networks. This means 4 these same solutions - a set of twin beds (local site) and a remote site for each network.

  3. at the beginning, we will deploy only 2-3 applications on their own virtual machines.  Any given application can work on classified or unclassified networks, or both, depending on its nature.

  The conditions above in mind and after my research so far, I realized that this is what I need (and I'd appreciate your corrections and comments):

  1. a server Dell PowerEdge R610 (with controller RAID 10, 32 GB memory and 500 GB hard drive) at each point (so a total of 4 of these servers). Each server would host a VMware hypervisor.  Is this the right Dell Server?  Or I need a powerful server less or more?

  2. a VMware vSphere hypervisor Essentials running on each of the 4 servers above.   Do I need one copy for every 4 points of end or 1 copy of each network endpoints or not?  Don't forget not classified and unclassified network do not communicate with each other at all.  VSphere Essentials offers the ability to replicate data from a virtual (on-site) computer to another virtual machine (on a remote site)?  It also provides a way to backup data on tape attached to a SAN/NAS?

  3. the Essentials of VMware vSphere page mentions "consolidation of servers in 10-12" and "1 year of subscription.  What do these things mean?  Does this mean I can create up to 10-12 servers VM by VMware vSphere Essentials license?  Or 10-12 servers VM on a server host physical?  And what is "1 year subscription?

  4. a facility of SAN/NAS for storage of data/app to each of the 4 end points and this configuration would have SAN disks that we can always change our needs.  We have not set specific requirements for the installation of SAN, so I don't know the best SAN solution for my project.  Any suggestions on a good SAN configuration would be highly appreciated.

  5. as I said before, all the apps/data should be copied in real time from the local site to remote site.  SAN would take care of this replication, or vSphere Essentials provides this feature (see #2 above)?

  So I will be looking forward to your feedbak.  Thank you.

• The passage to vSphere VMWare Server 2.0?  How?

  Hello-

  I hope someone can point me in the right direction here.

  I'm under VMWare Server 2.0 on a box of 2300 Windows R2.  After having proven virtualization to management, I bought vSphere. Now I see that I need help to determine the best place to start with this migration project.  I have several questions, I hope someone can help with.

  #1.  VMWare Server 2.0 is the box now have is that I want to use with VSphere.  The problem I have is that I have four virtual servers running on this box.  Y at - it a conversion utility to move in and outside this area of VMware Server 2.0 in vSphere environment?   Is it possible to move to something like a Dell EqualLogix (which I have) and box of your choice in the vSphere environment? Should I worry about what it is?  If Yes, what?

  #2.  I have four physical servers that I will be the conversion to vSphere?  Is there a tool to help with this?

  Tips, links to documentation and of course any help is greatly appreciated!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Welcome to the VMware community forums!

  Basically the answer boils down to the use of VMware vCenter Converter

  But if you want to reuse the same box for vSphere/ESX you have a little problem with that chickens and eggs for the existing virtual machine

  You can however copy the VM out there to external storage and import them manually in vSphere later.

  To do this, you may need to use the vmkfstools command line tool to import the disks in the correct format.

  Hope this helps,

• PXE cannot start an image of VMWare workstation 7: driver missing

  I have a client with this problem. I found a thread at the Microsoft web site:

  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en/w7itprohardware/thread/5c74d385-98f9-47c8-962f-b0cfc47abadf

  The possible solution would be to add the following line to the .vmx file say VMware to emulate an Intel card.

  ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".

  http://communities.VMware.com/thread/69483

  But in the file of the client, it can not find this configuration at all. The next line is: ethernet0.vnet = "VMnet1.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much!

  Leon

  LeonHanChina,

  Welcome to the VMware Community Forums!

  > ethernet0.vnet = "VMnet1.

  It is the network to which the virtual machine is attached, not the device.  I remember, VMnet1 = host only network... which I think would be fair if you want to perform a PXE boot anywhere, but the host.

  You can still add the line to dictate the network card.  If the line is not present, it will assume a specific adapter based on the chosen operating system type.

  Kind regards

• Conversion of RHEL WS 4.8 to run on vmware wks

  I seem to be confused by the terminology 'Local Conversion' of the converter. I somehow was expecting was a tool to convert an area physical running to a vmware appliance.  I expected to essentially generate a kind of image that would have been written to a USB drive. Instead, the destination of the converter types are all types of vmware infrastructure products.

  Then as now, I understand it, the easiest thing for me to do is run ESXi and converter for P2V?

  Thank you.

  rhfritz,

  Welcome to the VMware Community Forums.

  That you have discovered, one for a physical to virtual conversion Linux... you must use ESX (i) as a destination.  If it were a physical windows, you can go directly to the workstation.

  > Now, I understand it, the easiest thing for me to do is run ESXi and converter for P2V?

  Yes, it's just.

  You seem to be getting a failure when creating the virtual machine.  Converter 3 and 4 work the same way, that they submit the request for vCenter/ESX to create the virtual machine, as required.  I have seen where an initial conversion has failed once before or another conversion was at the same time, and we had to restart the running converter (Server source and converter) before the lock system was released on the data store.

• Conversion of VMware ESXi server - even material?

  The best practical Suggestions needed to convert virtual machines on VMware Server ESXi using the same material.

  We were real happy with VMware Server 1.0 x, but want to take advantage of the features in ESXi 3.5 and get rid of Windows as the OS boot.  VMware Converter would work well if I had a standby server (which I did not.)

  I have a Dell Latitude D830 w/4 GB of RAM, 160 GB drive HARD internal 500 GB USB external disk HARD Windows XP SP2 w/VMware Workstation 6 available as a new Mac laptop similar hardware config Fusion running.

  I think I could use one of the laptops to run ESXi as a virtual guest, VMware Workstation or Fusion, then convert machine virtual de VMware server here.  Once those who are converted can I fdisk VMware server box, install ESXi and simply move the virtual guests converted from the laptop to the ESXi box.

  Am I anywhere near or are there any other suggestions to achieve this?

  TIA

  Gary

  garyrm,

  Welcome to the VMware Community Forums!

  I think I could use a laptop to run ESXi as guest virtual VMware Workstation or Fusion, and then convert the virtual de VMware server machine it

  ESXi shouldn't be not installed as a guest operating system.  One, he is not taken in charge and two, it is CATASTROPHIC in BAD PERFORMANCE.

  If you:

  1. turn off the virtual machines in vmware server 1.0

  2 copy and paste somewhere (usb/network drive on your laptop)

  3. install ESXi

  4. use the converter to the image of stand alone.

  that should work just fine.

• Problem installing vmware workstation on vista

  Hello

  I searched for a solution to my problem since a few days, but nothing helped. I downloaded the version track Workstation 6.5.1 - 126130, but simply to install. I'm using vista ultimate x 64 and when I click on the exe, the control of such user account appears, I click on continue and then nothing. I went through a few docs on desktop and read I could install via a command prompt, I made this way using admin privaliges and get a fraction of a second flash on the screen for the installer, and then it turns off. Ive tried to launch the exe through compatabily xp mode and run as administrator. Ive tried the vmware reg cleaner just in case, but still nothing seems to work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  See you soon

  Rob

  rob77,

  Welcome to the VMware Community Forums!

  I have a similar setup at home (Vista Ultimate x 64 + WS 6.5.1), and the only thing I did to install it was a "Run As Administrator" by right-clicking the Setup file.  That and having disabled UAC.

  Do you have any other VMware product installed on this system?  You can also run MSConfig to disable anything that isn't a microsoft program.  Here are the steps to msconfig in XP... it should be pretty similar to Vista (although there are a number of changes)

  To do:

  Click Start--> enter "msconfig" (without the quotes)

  Click on the ' services ' section.

  Check the box for "hide all Microsoft services".

  Select 'Disable all', then check again the VMware services

  Select the tab "start".

  Select 'Disable all' then check again VMware startup items

  Restart and test if the installation works.

  Kind regards

• Free BSD for VMWare Virutal Machine image

  Hello everyone

  This is my first post in any VMWare community forum and I would advice to take advantage of ready-made virtual machines available on the FreeBSD site:

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/VM-IMAGES/10.2-RELEASE/amd64/Latest/

  This page from the same site indicates the hard image for VMWare, but my last copy of VMWare Workstation 12 player accept files .vmx or .vmc - not hard:

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/VM-IMAGES/README.txt

  Is this mean that hard images can be loaded into other paid products VMWare?

  I look forward to receiving tips.

  Thanks in advance

  Ah, you use the drive, I just read the part of the workstation

  OK, so, here we have to work around the problem. Create a virtual machine, the select part to store the disk in a single file and not split disc.

  When you create, delete the newly created hard.

  Copy the VMDK you downloaded from the website of bsd in the VM folder and rename the hard on behalf of the deleted vmdk.
