• 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 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

  Jeremy

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

• hgfs in vmware server

  Sorry for the newb question, but made vmware server support hgfs for sharing with the guest operating system?

  Can someone give me a definitive answer? I am running vmware server 1... but I might switch to 2.

  No, hgfs (VMware Shared Folders) are not supported in VMware Server 1.x or 2.x. The module is included only for compatibility issues.

• installation of VMware server 2 on Windows XP disabled multiuser mode

  I just installed VMware server 2 on my Windows XP machine and it seems to have disabled the multi user mode.  When I rebooted, the home screen is no longer present and I can't turn it back on.  Is this known behavior or something I can turn off?  It is even supported under XP?

  The product is not technically supported under XP or Vista is a server product but a lot of people seem it work very well.

  What about Fast User Switching (FUS), refer to this article - allow quick user on the Windows host change

• Installation of VMware workstation in a machine with vmware server 2.0 is already installed?

  is it possible to install the latest version of vmware workstation (I guess that's 6.5) in a machine where vmware server 2.0 is already installed? where possible there at - it something I should know before installing vmware workstation (eg. problems known, network suspends etc.)? in particual I am a little concerned network mangement (eg. both vmware server and vmware workstation in fact add virtaul adapters: is a possible trouble caouse?). The host of the virtual machine is vista ultimate x 64 with 8gig of ram and a quad core cpu.

  I did a little research, and from what I understand, this was not possible with vmware server 1.0 x.. as the situation has changed with vmware server 2.0?

  (in case you are wondering why I sholud be willing to do):

  I worked with vm ware Server 2.0 for about a year, but now I miss some of the features that are only present in vmware workstation: multiple snapshot and clone VM vm ware server... However is much more flexible when you don't have physical access to your VM host... so I was wondering if it is possible to get the best of both worlds : I would like to use vm ware workstation allows you to configure virtual machines and manage snapshots and vmware server to remotely manage virtual machines, I've created with workstation. Is it not possible?

  Thanks in advance for your attention

• Installation of VMware server redundent

  We run a server VMware (VMware ESX Server version 3.5.0 Update 2).  I have about 8 virtual machines running on the server.  We backup each virtual machine in the virtual machine, not outside of it.  I want to buy an additional VMware Server which will provide redundancy.  The second server VMware will also store some VMS, but there will be enough space on the two servers if you die, I can restore to another.  Someone please lead me in the right direction?  I.E. - is there a component of VMware that I need to follow both servers support between them?  Outside the redundant material, purchase another license complete for VMWare ESX Server?

  Hello

  Need you depends on the level of redundancy, you need.  Here are some examples... If you have X ESX hosts you will need X licenses regardless of the method of redundancy.

  Using VMware HA failover mode, this requires a shared either NFS over TCP (NAS), iSCSI, or SAN storage. Some of the features of type available non - NAS NAS are HP LeftHand Networks VSA and Xtravirt XVS. The latter two run from your ESX and VMS host and maintain redundancy between the nodes.

  Redundancy via SAN/NAS replication is also available and VMware SRM fits in do SAN/NAS to SAN/NAS replication.

  Redundancy through replication using elements such as Veeam Backup and Vizioncore vReplicator, which are tools of software replication to replicate virtual machines from one node to another.

  Redundancy via the backup and restore. This method VMs from one host backups and restores to another host. It is very similar to the replication but heavier.

  How redundancy you want depends a bit much you are willing to spend, but if you have 1 node and you want to replicate to another node, you need at least 2 licenses of VMware ESX to get there.

  Best regards

• Replacement for VMware Server 1.0

  Hello community

  I'm running a few hosts CentOS with VMware Server 1.x 5.x various hosts as CentOS virtual computers, the legacy Netware servers and some Windows machines.

  Now I need to put in place the new hosts with CentOS 6.x to enjoy some of the things fantasy that comes with this new major release (especially things like the handling of SSD and BTRFS).

  However, VMware Server 1.x only installs on CentOS 6 and so this combination is not an option.

  VMware Server 2.x (even if it would not work what I do not know) is a no-go, I don't like the web directors at all and would really like to have an administration like the VMware Console tool, which used to be the administrative tool for server 1.x.

  I would not mind spending the money for it, so there is no need to be free (business environment), but thousands of dollars of course aren't in the budget for it.

  However, many VMware products seem to be a mess for me (sorry...) and even worse, they all seem to be a bit inflated.

  What I choose today, VMware Server 1.x was exactly the thing I need, without all the bells and whistles, subsequent proceeds provided with, but if possible with a platform independent (Linux + Win) administration tool?

  Is there any "weight light server grade product of virtualization" VMware plus, which brings the necessary basic features and runs on modern linux guests?

  I have already evaluated VirtualBox and KVM and got both work, however, I have used VMware now for more than a decade at least I want to ask the community for recommendations before moving on to a completely different virtualization platform.

  Thank you to for your advice!

  Then take another look at work station - there now the abilitry to function as server hosting VMs - or you can go to the bare metal hypervisor and run ESXi that will install directly on hardware, eliminating the need for CentOS - there is a free version available that as well.

• 5.0 VMware Server 2012 P2V fails with BSOD

  Someone at - it successful Windows Server 2012 with VMware 5.0 installation? I have not tried since an ISO, but when I tried a P2V server restarts periodically and says then there is a problem and that I should look for more information on the 'system thread unhandled exception (winhv.sys)' error as it collects more information!

  Thank you

  Construction 623860 is ESXi 5.0 Update 1, so it's ok. You can find an overview of the large version/construction at http://vsphere-land.com/vinfo/release-build-info

  Roles that are installed in the system Windows 2012 (Hyper-V,...)?

  BTW. the converted virtual computer runs on a virtual IDE drive. During the conversion of a physical system, you must always set the type of appropriate ("LSI Logic SAS controller" in this case) in the Converter Wizard.

• VMware server 1.0.3 on OpenSuSE: plugin Vmware is not available

  Hello
  I am currently evaluating hyperic as a surveillance system for our 250 + growing virtual machines.
  I have download 3.0, installed the agent on one of the servers but did not get any info on virtual machines. I came here and it seems that there are some problems and a bug filed by someone else. so I downloaded sigar - 3.0.4 and updated the directory of the KDP. I'm still not anything on my virtual machines and all I get is VMware controls library not available.this is an extract from the log on the server:
  at java.lang.Thread.run (unknown Source)
  Caused by: org.hyperic.hq.measurement.monitor.LiveMeasurementException: error Plugin: control VMware library is not available
  at org.hyperic.hq.measurement.agent.client.AgentMonitor.getLiveValues(AgentMonitor.java:224)
  something to try?

  OK, libvmcontrol-helper that is missing is the problem.  I don't know exactly what it is, but vmcontrol64.so expects it to be there.  I can reproduce the problem with the command chmod - x libvmcontrol-helper.  How did you install VMware Server?  I have always used the. tar.gz installer from vmware.com, when unzipped the file is located here:
  VMware-server-distrib/lib/bin/libvmcontrol-helper

  You may just be able to copy this file without making a complete reinstallation to work things out.

• VMware Server 2 migration

  Hello group, we set off on virtualization, we used until present time server 2, checking on these pages, I've read about free vSphere.

  I downloaded ISO and the customer. When you start to use it, it says I have 60 day trial.

  Can please briefly explain you what is free and what is not?

  Thanks in advance.

  FM

  The basic vSphere 4/5 hypervisor is free, who has at least as many features as VMware Server 2.

  However, you must still apply for a license (which is free) to get rid of the warning of 60 days.  Follow these steps:

• Installing the server on VMware server ESXi

  Hello

  Im trying to install esxi iso file in a VMware Server (in my laptop with 4 GB and windows 7 prof). I have created a virtual machine and tried to proceed with the installation. Initial measures follows and ends with Esc - repair-installation of the screen. In this screen im not control keystrokes at the keyboard and mouse n and cannot go any further. I found in the net that this method will work for purposes of practice. Can someone help me. ?

  Hello Pjo

  For your question, I understand what you are trying to install ESXi on your laptop to test / learning object. I also suppose that you try ESXi 4. ESXi 4 requires 64-bit processor. Your laptop should also support virtualization. To make sure that your laptop supports virtualization, go to configuration and find what is called VT and then activate it if it is not yet enabled.

  Once you have completed step abvoe, download & install the latest version of VMWare Workstation. Then create a new virtual machine, assign them to less than 2 GB of RAM, and then try again to install ESXi 4.

  I believe that this will help you to start with. If you have any other questions feel free to write back to me. And if you think that this answer is correct, please mark correct. If in case it is not correct, but has been useful so mark has useful

  Thank you very much
