VMware Server memory

Hello

Can VMware Server 2.0 overallocate physical RAM of RAM? or I can just assign the same amount of physical RAM to VMS?

If she can overallocate physical RAM memory, how can we overuse?

Thanks in advance,

I found that you need significantly more RAM on the host as necessary by adding the allocation of RAM to each guest.  On a host Windows 2003 with 8 GB of RAM, I started having performance issues important in the attempt to allocate more about 6.4 GB of RAM in total for the guests.  I recommend having at least 2 GB of additional RAM on the host computer.

  • 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.

  • Fedora to access VMware server 2 web

    Hello

    I had problems with the interface web vmware server 2. When I first install vmware server 2 on a clean system, it works fine. However, after a reboot, the web interface is more accessible to the general public.

    When I do

    "netstat - anp |" grep vm ' I see port 902 listening however ports 8222 and 8333.

    SELInux is disabled, I also turned to IPtables and ip6tables as well as fedora firewall.

    I tried rerun vmware - config.pl, however this does not resolve the issue. I also tried to restart the management interface and that does not work either.

    When I restart the vmware service, everything seems fine:

    I use a 64-bit version of vmware.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I had same problem - Fedora 14 64 bit & vmware 2.0.2... and nothing on google :-/

    Because I have not found a solution for this problem, so I wrote this post (my first btw :-))

    After you install vmware (and patch before), everything works well before the first server to restart. After reboot - web access (port 8222 & 8333) has not worked.

    For me, it has worked:

    (1) check if vmware - spend is running (when vmware service is started):

    # ps to the | grep vmware - pass

    --------------------------

    root of 1752 0.0 0.6 50760 225708?        SSL 14:36 0:01 / usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-hostd - a d u - /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml

    (2) If vmware - spend does not, try to run vmware - pass manually (without the-d (demon) parameter):

    # / usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-hostd - a u /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml

    --------------------------

    (there was no mistake as.. libvmomi.so.1.0: no such file or directory)

    (3) copy (or link) libraries starting from/usr/lib/vmware/vmacore/and/usr/lib/vmware/lib/to /lib64/

    # cp /usr/lib/vmware/vmacore/libvmomi.so.1.0 /lib64/

    # cp /usr/lib/vmware/vmacore/libvmacore.so.1.0 /lib64/

    # cp /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libexpat.so.0/libexpat.so.0 /lib64/

    (4) just try to restart the vmware service or server; I had to run vmware - config.pl new - vmware crashed.

    If this isn't the case, vmware - always come running after you restart, try to rerun manually and wait minute (if it is started).

    I already had virtual machine in vmware, so I got another problem...

    VMware-get started, but just for a minute. After a minute, he wrote something as... out of memory. I tried to rename my vm and vmware has worked well (WebAccess Inc.) ...

    So... Here is the solution to another problem...

    5) simply to stop the vmware service

    judgment of vmware for the service #.

    6) Rename the library libxml2 vmware based

    # mv /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libxml2.so.2 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/BAD-libxml2.so.2

    VMware will skip this library and use a for/lib64 /...

    (7) restart the server and try out it

    Hello

    first of all, check the host with a tool like memtest memory. Maybe the RAM is not ok.

    After that, perhaps your problem is this one: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1326842#1326842

  • Vmci using api with vmware server

    Hello world

    I use vmware server 2.0.2 and I would like to share memory between the host and the virtual system. So, I found an API called VMCI which is available in the 2.0 Server (and Workstation 6.5).

    But I have not found the two sample applications provided (usr/share/doc/vmware/vmware-vmci/samples/or C:\Program Tools\VMCI\SampleApplications\README from VMware).

    Can you tell me where I can get these please the sample?

    Thank you. ARM

    link: http://pubs.VMware.com/VMCI-SDK/

    I'm not I'm sorry, but that doesn't mean there is not No. You can get more hits if you post in the developer communities. Host communications direct comments any is generally deprecated for security reasons, it is probably why there are not many, if any, API in this area.

  • How to refine the configuration of Vmware server on windows host

    Hello

    can someone explain how to refine the Vmware host windows server edition?

    Hello

    First, you decide what you want to use the VMWARE server.

    If you want to use vmware server for only to keep the plane comments at end of test system administartion, during the installation of VMware server you will need to customize your installation.

    In the Customize installation disable the Modules Perl script which are used for development purposes, after installing the server, go to services & disable services unwanted, assume that you use no DHCP & NAT, then disable these services. In doing so, it will save the memory & performance increase of you host mechine.

    When you create your mechine comments try to reduce unwanted devices, how to remove the floppy drive if you don't want to use in the mechine comments. like this, try to reduce the additional devices you use rarely, if you're runnin server edition comments mechines, then try to reduce you is display resolution, which will give a good performance.

    Kind regards

  • 64-bit applications do not convert to VMware Server Console of ESX3i

    Hello

    Because of performance problems, we try to convert a machine Console VMware Server 1.0.4 for VMware ESX Server 3i, using VMware converter standalone client 4.0.1 vcentre but it is a failure with the answer "the destination can't stand not 64-bit clients.

    We believe that ESX3i supports 64-bit machines - there is an option to create one, if we were to start from scratch.

    We also tried to import directly via the "Import a virtual appliance" option on the 3i server itself, but he expects a file ovf rather than an egg file, and so we get an exception "system out of memory.

    Can anyone recommend the best method of conversion of a 64-bit computer?

  • What to do after downloading VMware Server

    Hi everyone, new guy here.

    I downloaded 580 MB vmware-server and even installed.  It appeared to install correctly and place a vmserver on the desktop icon.  However, I thought I could just click and vm would lead me through the installation of an operating system.  Not the case.  He went to a web page where he asked me a username and password.

    Should not be whatever it as a valid user name or a password.  Earlier, I had received an email from Vmware services customer, said whaich my emails has been (and it said my correct e-mail address) and my password was (and he gave me my password).  Howevere, when I clicked on the icon of VMWare (after installation), it led me to a web page (after accepting a bad certifique) who would not accept the name or the password.

    Bob

    There are little interest by giving the guest 4 GB unless she needs. My largest VM XP that is running Outlook, IE, and other productivity applications, is only defined for use 768 MB he sits very comfortably in. He was originally to 512 MB, but it is weaker and the page a bit. You want enough memory allocated so that the guest does not work out/page/swap but not as long as he's not getting used while VMware may not be the memory for it unless it is actually needed (on Linux at least).

    It refers to the same registry key that you mentioned above. You mention that you are changing the key; If it helped?

    This may be caused by your antivirus and it may be interesting to try this copy even in Mode safe and then further identify the issue with a clean boot:
