VMware Server 2 roles

In my configuration of VMware Server 2, I would like to create a role that helps users where all they can do is create, start, and stop the virtual machine. Nothing more. Can what privileges I give to make sure that they can do it without problems?

Thank you

Try the following - works for me:

Data store-> Browse Datastore + file management
Virtual machine-> inventory-> create
Virtual machine-> Interaction-> all the
Virtual machine-> Configuration-> add existing disk + add new disk + add or remove devices
Resources-> Machine virtual Assign to the Resource Pool

If you get errors, take at look at the hostd.log file as it should show you the details of the exception which is quite easy to find what a privilege you need to grant.

  • Why the administrator is the only one who can connect to VMware server 2.0.1 GUI?

    I am facing this problem and have been unable to find a solution for this.

    I need to segment users who manages our servers VMware 2.0.1 in ProductionAdmins, DemoServerAdmins, DevAdmins etc etc. VMware server runs on Windows Server 2003 member of a domain (for example, the AD authentication).

    My main problem is that only users who are allowed to log on by using the graphical interface are those who are members of the local Administrators group - and by substituting so completely the VMware Server permission settings. I get a "you do not have the permissions to connect to the server" for all users, except the members of the group mentioned.

    In the VMware Server documentation, I can read that users and groups are managed by the host OS (AD), but is obviously not "the complete truth. I tried to add a user (domain or local user also) to the local 'users', '__vmware__', 'Power Users', etc., etc. no change

    What prevents the user to log on to the server. I even tried to add the user to "Remote desktop users" - which works very well (with the exception of the connection to the console that requires membership of the admin).

    I don't understand. What's wrong???

    Have you used the Administration-> manage roles (WebUI)?

    You set up the authorization for VMS (WebUI)?

    I work in the field and I can set up permission for domain members (not only Local Administrators or domain administrators).

  • need help to set the access rights of a vmware server 2.0.1 on vmware image

    Hello!

    I have a vmware (running ubuntu server 9.04) image that was created with a vmware server installation varsion 1.0.9. now I decided to upgrade to the host, which means that the host totally changed: new equipment, new OS, new vmware-server-version: 2.0.1

    My problem atm is, I may not know, what would be the appropriate access rights (chown/chmod) for this vmware image. during the installation of vmware server 2.0.1 I was asked to specify some 'administrative user' where I took the an im working with Linux itself (lets call it "user").

    so, when I copied the old vmware image in the data store (/ var/lib/vmware/VirtualMachines for me), chown-ed the folder including all files init by A, setting chmod to something like 600, the console vmware (web surface) told me that there were several problems with the image and couln can't be started etc. etc. etc...

    I played with several rights to the image and the only thing that seemed to help was setting the folder and all files included in 'root' with the command chmod chown '777'... not what I would call 'secured '.

    so: how to set the access rights for the virtual machines? I want that they have only minimal rights as possible and especially nothing like root: 777...

    My static VM files, as in those who are not dynamically created when the virtual machine starts, are the property of root, root of group with permissions of 711. Root is the user that I have chosen as the admin user when you run vmware - config.pl. My users do not have direct access to this server, so I'm not too worried about the permissions. You can give different rights for different users to different virtual machines, creating roles and their allocation to users/groups. On that, the details are in Chapter 10 of the user guide - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf.

  • VMware Server 2 VM does not start due to problems of Hyper-V

    I ran Hyper-V and wanted to move to VMware. I downloaded VMware Server 2 to test because it's free (until we start with real solutions VMware).

    So I installed VMware parallel with Hyper-V (remove role, install vmware, install the role), converted all virtual machines Hyper-V with VMware Converter and removed Hyper-V (remove all virtual machines, remove the Hyper-V server, stop services, remove role, restart).

    Now I run VMware Server, start a virtual machine and get this error:

    "VMware Server and Hyper-V are not compatible. You must remove the role Hyper-V on your system before running VMware Server. »

  • configuration network on VMWare server 2

    Hello

    I installed Vmware server 2 on my server (WIN2k3 with nic 2s because my server have a role of routing). A NIC is set up for INTERNET and other NIC is set to INTRNET.

    the configuration of my INTRANET is on class C IP:192.168.99.XX, SM: 255.255.255.0. I create a virtual Instalation with UBUNTU 8.10 Server... I installed UBUNTU with no problem and without error, but without internet access because I don't know what ip and network configurations I should do on virtual NIC (Vmnet1 and Vmnet8) and which configurations should I do ifconfig on UBUNTU (IP, SM, gateway, DNS)

    can someone help me?

    Thank you.

    Depends on...

    I'll explain what these networks and you can find what you need:

    1 bridged (VMnet0)

    If the virtual NIC (vNIC) is fulfilled, the guest takes part like any other host on the network. It needs its own IP address corresponding to the IP network to which it is filled.

    2 host-only (VMnet1)

    It is a network isolated between the host and the guests. No outside communication.

    3 NAT (VMnet8)

    When you use this type the host acts as a proxy routing with address masquerading. This means that all packets send by the client appears to come from the host to the outside world. You can hide your comments like that.

    What physical adapters is used to fill can be configured. The default value is one automatically chosen NIC jumpered to VMnet0. You can create a custom network (say VMnet2) and he a teddy bear additional bridge.

    Networks VMnet1 and VMnet8 can be served by the DHCP of VMware Server, so if you use this type of vNIC and you configure the IP address in the guest to use DHCP, you're fine.

    Don't forget to use a firewall at least on the vNIC which can face outside if you use bridged or NAT to connect to the Internet!

  • Key free license for vmware server 1.0.3

    Hi all

    I read in a forum that vmware server 1.0.3 is a free software. You just have to register on the vmware site to get the free license key. This free software was interrupted by vmware? I couldn't find the software in the download page. Now, when I try to get a free license I am not able to understand how I can get that. I am part of the site, but where in the site can I get a free license? Can anyone please shed any light in this regard?

    Thank you

    Welcome to the community,

    VMware Server has been abandoned for years. If you are looking for free products, take a look at VMware Player, or the free ESXi Hypervisor.

  • VMware Server Version 2.0.2 - migrate VM to ESXi 5.5?

    Hey guys

    I use an old Dell T410 with VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) server running on top of serving 2008R1.

    I'm looking to install a new server and you want to run ESXi 5.5.

    Is it possible to convert VM VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) to ESXi 5.5?

    Otherwise I'm running Shadowprotect. If I can't convert, is it possible to do a HIR to ESXi 5.5 from an image of a VM from VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) Shadowprotect?

    Finally, I was looking for to run ESXi 5.5 Essentials (not more) on the new physical host and then use the old host as a temporary backup with ESXi 5.5 too. I have to buy 2 x 5.5 ESXi licenses to run it on both machines?

    If you want more specifications about the network made me know.

    Kind regards

    Aaron

    Hello

    You must convert the virtual server computers to be able to run on ESXi 5.5.

    Take a look at this, it is perhaps useful:

    On the essential, it allows to manage 3 servers (servers esxi) with up to 2 processors of each:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I can't install vmware server on the same windows server 2008 with Hyper-V?

    I have a server as the active service of Hyper-V, but I want to virtualize a VMware ESXi, andnot with Hyper-V now like to install VMware Server.

    My doubt is: can install two virtualizadores on the same server?

    It is a virtualization server that I have in my environment.

    Thank you

    Diego Paiva.

    I don't know of anyway to run ESXi in hyper - you can do the reverse to install ESXi and then run Hyper-V as a virtual machine.

    As for your second question - if you ask you can install ESXi on top of Hyper-v - you can, but it will overwrite the Hyper-v Forum
