VMware Server 2.0 and VMworkstation 6.5

Is there anyway that these two products can run in parallel. Currently, I installed 6.5 Workstation but I would also use VMServer 2.0?

Could I install Win2k3/Win2k8 as a virtual machine using the workstation, then VMServer inside the virtual machine?

I want to know what are the options or if it is possible?

I'm running Vista 64 bit on a Quad Core PC with 8 GB of RAM, I suppose I could install another OS and I have a dual boot system and run Workstation on the operating system Vista and VMserver on Win2k3/Win2k8

Anyone can add anything to this, thanks

Yes, I would stick with WS 6.5 in order to avoid all the complexities of dual boot. It should be simpler all round.

  • VMware Server 2 - installation and questions backup

    I have an application that will use a backend SQL Express and IIS. I want to place this in a virtual machine running Windows 2008 Server on a Server 2008. We will not have many users using this app, so I think that the free server product would be nice. I worked with VMware Workstation for a few years but I did not too much with the server. I guess I can build the right VM in server, just let it run from there, correct?  All the elements 'need to know '?  Also, what is the best way to back up the applications data. I am not too concerned about the guest operating system, only data backup applications. Any help would be great... Thank you

    You can install Vmware server on the host computer and you can then create Win2008 VM.

    Yes you can have the virtual machine running in Vmkware server.

    For bcking the application data. You can do multiple ways.

    You can connecta USB drive to the physical machine and the virtual machine and copy the application data.

    You can map the drive to the virtual computer as a network drive on the physical host and copy it to CD / engraver of DVD or USB drive or another drive partition.

    Please allow point if it helps.

    Thank you

  • VMware server in Vista and 64-bit hosts

    Hello...

    I have a DELL Latitude E6400 laptop with Intel P8600 processor.

    I installed VMware Server 2 on Vista Business 32-bit Edition.  It works but I cannot create virtual machines in 64-bit.

    Can someone explain to me why?

    THX.

    To run 64-bit clients, you must make sure that you have intel VT turned on in your bios.  Go into your BIOS and see if this option is enabled.  Without it, you cannot install a 64-bit client.  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=1901

  • Impossible to use VMWare Server and Virtual PC at the same time?

    I have a Win 7 box I use VirtualPC (unfortunately, VPN to the employer only supports the 32-bit Win XP).

    If I try to start any virtual machines using VMWare Server, power on and then immediately off.  Tried several different VMs.

    However, if I disable VirtualPC, they all work normally.

    Then... there at - it a known issue with the help of Virtual PC and VMWare Server at the same time?

    BTW, I didn't see this problem when you use Virtual PC and VMWare Player at the same time.

    VirtualPC leaves the CPU of the exploitation of VMX root, which is a restricted mode.  VMware Server is problems to switch between legacy mode and long (this switch is prohibited when the CPU is in VMX root operation).  The current versions of the workstation and the player are able to circumvent this restriction.

  • You can install VMWare Server 2 on a Windows 2003 R2 64-bit operating system?

    Hello

    I'm trying to install VMWare Server 2.0 on a Windows 2003 64 - Bit operating system.  I install VMWare Server 2.0 and it looks fine, but when I go to install the OS (Windows 2003 32-bit R2) it takes forever.  It also seems very slow in all of my connections to the network.

    I'm doing something wrong.  Someone at - it suggestions?

    I have appreicate help!  Thank you!

    pilots are not really a lot to do with it, due to its operation.  Just make sure that all engines of unloading are disabled, that's about it.  We have a bunch of 2K 3 x 64 hosts with 32-bit guests and it is no problem.

  • 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.

    Best regards

    The problem is that I can't turn off the VMware USB Service on my host machine, because there is no. Anyone of you experts can tell me how to disable this in VMware Server please?

    Or do you want to know what part of VMware Server may be in conflict with my stick to wide band and advise me on how I can have as much mobile broadband and vmware server running on the same host machine.

    Thanks in advance

  • Ubuntu 9.10 and more recent vmware server 2. Will never run after restart of ubuntu.

    Hello

    I installed VMware server on my box of ubuntu 9.10 (32 bit, P - IV 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM). The problem is that he never runs after a reboot, even if the demons are actually being run. If I run the file vmware - config.pl, it does not work because it tells me the vmci, vmmon and vmnet modules are not standard. I then remove these modules, re-run vmware - config.pl and then it works until the next reboot of the computer.

    Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

    Hello

    OK maybe that you have upgraded the kernel version recently?

    If you use the standard kernels provided with Ubuntu 9.10, always use this one:

    2.6.31 - 15-Generic

    Make the installation of vmware server with the kernel version above following the directions I told before. Then, you ALWAYS start ubuntu 9.10 with this kernel version and never use another more recent.

    At the moment (as I know), it is the only way to run a vmware server 2 on ubuntu 9.10.

    A saludo/best regards,.

  • No web console with the version of VMware Server is a core 2.0.1 and 2.6.31 - 10-generic in Karmic AMD64

    Hello

    I've successfully used vmware - server.2.0.1_x64 - modules - 2.6.30.4 - fix.patch to build modules on my laptop running Ubuntu Karmic Koala. VMware Server version is VMware server 2.0.1 - 2.0.1 - 156745.x86_64.tar.gz, and I'm running it with kernel 2.6.31 - 10-generic. The question I have is that while the web console seems to be running on port 8333, I can't get an answer from him. Has anyone else encountered this problem? See you soon.

    OK, I got it to work. Try this in a terminal and let me know if it works for you too:

  • VMWARE Server 2 and Red Hat 5.4 Interface Web ES crashes

    I have been using VMWare Server 2.0.1 fine several months until I've restarted my server in a new kernel.

    Although all modules start OK in the window of the terminal web interface seems to hang after have been up for a few seconds only - sometimes barely enough to open a session.

    Any ideas?

    My hardware is Dell R900 - 4 image intel CPU with 128 GB of ram

    My OS is Red Hat Linux ES version 2.6.18 kernel - 128.2.1.el5

    Thank you

    I came across the same issue last week. This is the background I and fix that made me backup for now.

    It seems that vmware provides their own libraries for some of what they need and that there may be a bad interaction between that and RHEL 5.4 libraries updated.

    The FIX:

    yum downgrade glibc glibc-common

    Delete it / come back about 22 packages/dependencies. Then I restarted and re - represented vmware-config and functions of each thing. Note You must change your configuration of yum update so that it is not pushing the new glibc glibc-common until this problem gets solved official.

  • Allocation of memory and VMware Server 2

    Hello world

    I have a box of material with 12 GB of physical memory on this OS W2K 2003 32 bits (4 GB limit). My question is: if I install VMware Server 2 in this scenario, I'll be able to allocate remaining 8 GB of physical mem for my virtual machines. What performance in this scenrio? I'd like to run two virtual machines (2003 data backup server and backup exchange server) 4 GB each.

    Thank you much for the help.

    NO.

    Since your host is limited to 4 GB, you cannot allocate more than that.

    You should better install a 64 bit OS host if you want to use all of the memory, if your hardware supports.

  • Script in VMWare Server to stop, save and reboot the virtual machine
