  I get "editing HGFS actions: FAILED ' when that I start my comment nodes. I use Server 2 (final) CentOS4.7 as the host and the guest operating system.

  My VMware Server has several data stores, I used these data storage when adding virtual disks (SCSI hard drives) to my virtual nodes. Now my/dev/sd * looks like this:

  Thank you

  HGFS is the Guest Host File System.

  It is more commonly used in my computer when you use the "Shared folders" feature, by presenting a host record to the guest under the/mnt/hgfs folder OS.

  Kinda like a mapped drive, but between vm and host.  However, the server doesn't support HGFS can be a module for it.

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vmserver2.PDF

  -Page 75:

  A kernel module for the management of folders, called hgfs.sys Windows and vmhgfs under Linux and Solaris. VMware Server does not support shared folders. The module is included for compatibility of products.

• 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

• VMware server 2.0 and Windows server 2003 sp1 Ent

  I got windows server 2003 SP1 on vmware 2.0, I upgraded the OS to SP2 now operating system shows no network adapter

  where as the hardware vmware 7 shows the network connection... of suggestions which could have caused this... ?

  as if now I drove back the SP2... However, I would like to upgrade to sp2

  Hello

  Just to confirm, you run server 2.0 or 2.0.1? According to the guest operating system comatibility link

  Microsoft	Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2	32	Guest operating system	Server 2.0\
  Microsoft	Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 x 64 Enterprise edition	64	Guest operating system	Server 2.0\

  are supported assumes that, if this seems a little strange behavior. Once you upgrade the client, the tools work properly? When you say vm HW version 7 shows the hardware, what do you mean?

  Thank you

• 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.

• 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.

• Oracle on Linux and Windows Client question database server: NetMgr Windows and Linux NetMgr

  People,

  Hello. I have installed Oracle Database 11 g 2 server in the Oracle Linux 5 Starter PT853 Instance of database virtual machine. Then I installed Oracle Database 11 g 2 client for 32-bit Windows XP 64 - bit Windows virtual machine. Now I face the problem of connection of the VMs 2 as below:

  
  In Manager Net Linux Server Machine:

  Service name: PT853
  Connection type: default database
  "TCP/IP Protocol".
  Host name: localhost
  Port name: 1521

  Listener: LISTENER
  Protocol: TCP/IP
  Host: localhost
  Port: 1521

  
  I test the Service PT853 with "SYSADM" username and password "SYSADM". The connection is successful.
  In the Windows XP Client computer, the information in the Net Manager is the same, but the connection is not successful. Its details are as below:

  
  NET Service Name: PT853
  Protocol: TCP/IP
  The database Machine host name: localhost
  Port number: 1521
  Name of the Basic Service: PT853
  Connection type: default database

  
  I have test the Service using "SYSADM" UserID and password to 'SYSADM' which are the same with Linux, but this error: TNS: listener does not currently of service requested in connect descriptor.

  
  I followed this tutorial http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_devices_serial_2vms.html to configure 2 virtual machines in Windows 7 host machine.

  In Windows XP Oracle database Client Installer directory, the "tnsnames.ora" file has an entry that matches the name Service in Net Manager. Directory of database server installation Oracle Linux, the file 'tnsnames.ora' has no entry because I installed the server of Oracle database with the instance of database startup PT853.

  
  I tried to test 2 virtual machines in the way as below:

  In Linux, [user@localhost ~] $ping WindowsXP_HostName
  Release: Unknown host WindowsXP_HostName

  
  At the Windows XP command prompt:
  C:\ping localhost.localdomain
  Its release: ping localhost 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data...
  Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes = 32 time = 2ms TTL = 128

  
  He meets a few times and then disconnected by itself. It seems that Windows XP is ping itself and not Linux server. The host name of the Linux server is 'localhost' as well. It is a kind of confusion for me.

  
  From the information above, we can see that 2 VMs cannot connect between them. Net Manager in Windows XP Oracle Client unable to connect its Service PT853 with the Oracle Linux database server.

  My question is:

  Can any folk tell me how to connect Oracle Client in Windows XP with the Oracle Linux database server?

  
  Very grateful in advance.

  People,

  Hello. Thanks much for the reply. I am very grateful for your help.

  In Manager Net Linux Server Machine:

  I test the Service PT853 with "SYSADM" username and password "SYSADM". The connection is successful.

  In the Windows XP Client computer, the information in the Net Manager is the same as below:

  The host of the database Machine name: 192.168.196.102

  Connection type: default database

  I test the Service using the "SYSADM" username and password "SYSADM" which are the same with Linux and the connection is successful as well.

  IP 192.168.196.102 is Linux. This means that oracle database Client in Windows XP may log into Oracle Database Server under Linux. Don't you think I'm not mistaken? If so, I'm very happy and very grateful to you.

  "Do you think I'm not mistaken?

  By definition, if you can establish a connection, then you are correct.

• VMware Server and T-Mobile Huwaei BroadBand Stick

  Hi all

  I came across this post in discussions of woskstation and its exactly the same question that I see:

  http://communities.VMware.com/message/1509413

  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

  the installation of fixing VMserver USB part is not trivial - see

  who wrote for my computer, but it applies as well to VMserver.

  Have you tried to re - install?

• 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.

• Import the VCB backups in VMWare Server 2.0 Automatic

  Hello

  I had two questions, on which I was wondering...

  The real thing, I was wondering all is if someone made a script, fixing up the release of VCB, so it is bootable from a standard VMWare Server 2?

  (I think / hope someone has already made as part of an AIP or something...)

  The problem is that VCB adds the path of SCSI in the VMDK-filenames, but it does not add it to the VMX file.

  If these are mapped to the other the VMX or by renaming the files the VCB is bootable in Server VMW 2.

  (but 'less restoreable' of VCB on the other hand...)

  This would help me a lot, couse then I could put my VCB backups to an external drive and give the drive to our suppliers

  then they test things in the production environment. This could easily be written, but I don't want to invent wheels all my life,

  so if others have this I appreciate real...

  The second thing I was wondering about is if it is the right part of the forum for these questions, or if they should go under something else...

  Colombia-British

  Since the change of name is always following the same convention, I do not think that it is necessary to read the VMX file.

  This script deletes the prefix «scsi...» "of all the VMDK files.

  $VCBfolder = 
  $vm =                                          # Subfolder in directory $VCBfolder
  
  $vmPath = $VCBfolder + "\" + $vm
  $oldDir = (pwd).Path
  cd $vmPath
  $files = @(Get-Item -Path "*" -Filter "*.vmdk")
  foreach($file in $files){
    $dummy = $file.Name -match "^scsi\d*-\d*-\d*-(.*\.vmdk)"
    Rename-Item $file.Name $matches[1]
  }
  cd $oldDir

• VMWare does support installation of server connection or security on Server Core components?

  I think that title pretty much sums it.  We seek to harden our security servers view so I wanted to know if VMware supports the installation of this component on Windows Server 2008 R2 Core (or heart of 2012). I did some research autour and I'm stumbled upon a page of 2012 that said he was not taken in charge (it wasn't an official page of VMware). Some time has passed and I hope that it is now supported.  If this is not the case, if someone could point me to documentation that helps curing an installation of the Security server that would help too.  We lack Horizon view 5.2

  Thank you!

  It is not supported at this time... but there are some guides available which show that this is possible.  Only Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit Standard/Enterprise is supported.

• Installation of VMWare Server 2 breaks network connections

  I just install VMWare Server 2 on a Dell 1950 with Windows 2008 Enterprise Server.  He must have done something to the network settings because I can not remote on the server more.  Anyone know what happened?  I have Microsoft Virtual Server software installed on the same server.  Which would cause a conflict?

  Any advice would be great.

  Thank you
  Greg

  I had MS Virtual Server installed VMware Server 2, but it was on a Windows 2003 host.

  Server installation adds two virtual networks.  (VMnet1 and VMnet8.)  Try disabling the and see if you can remote into.  Otherwise, if you uninstall the server, are you able to distance in the host again?  (These are the solutions, just in troubleshooting).

• VMware Server on Windows 2008 R2 Server Core installation

  Hi guys!

  I installed the latest version of Vmware server on our new Windows 2008 R2 Server core installation, but I have a problem with it. When I create a virtual computer and try to start the Web UI:

  General system error occurred: unable to connect to the virtual machine

  Do you know something about the nature of this message? The Server service not had access to the possuble vitrual machine? But how can it create if it doesn't have access? I have not found the log files created in the folder of the virtual machine.

  Thank you for your help.

  Kind regards

  I think that Server Core is an unsupported operating system. Please take a look at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf (page 25)
