  Hola, tengo varios servidores con Vmware server 1.0 2.0 y y estoy valorando el pasarlos an ESX 4.0, is that he read Dan mucho mas performance than estas versiones. I have several dudas Development Qué os agradeceria me ayudarais a program of resolution:

  No me importa pay for ESX 4.0 model, but what differences the ESXi gratuita con Hay con respecto the capabilities?

  ¿mediante pueden traspasar las maquinas copiandolas, como he hecho alguna vez office between 2 Vm server 2.0 ESX 4.0 al (o ESXi)?

  También voy a montar nuevos, usually instalo servidores 3 maquinas office, 1 con linux y otras 2 con Win2003-2008 by Terminal Server's Active Directory cada una, what're mejor, montar discos duros rapidos (sas) o poner 2 processors fisicos?

  Gracias.

  Hola,

  El hecho usar el esxi free dificulta a poco (o mucho depende para only) Administration del día a Día del entorno esxi.

  Las and/or mas una obvias tiene el free esxi are that for example any faffa you will have provide una para esxi backup respond. Have usar things scripts of the VMWare para programar una comunidad como forma automated los backups, without is las soportan jumbo frames, the VI API are en modo lectura (eso limited you one that no other realize mediante don't scripts Quarto tasks you en entorno virtual), etc...

  UNA license apetecible a nivel caracteristicas y precio (ahora durante a periodo esta limitado a UN 50% descuento!) the es Essentials. Esta license allows disponer hasta 3 servidores esxi 2 Sockets (CPU) fisicos cada uno a vCenter through centralizados.

  Te paso UN link para veas as caracteristicas las get licenses of VMWare pago.

  Para el proceso virtualizacion you recomendaria usases el vmware converter 4.01 as in the majority of cases facilitated the Migración.

  Respecto has the las CPU pregunta y discos, cuando to virtualiza para reaching a good level of page are important disponer o the processor cores. In principio few mas mejor.

  Pero igual o mas important las CPU are UN acceso a rapido disco (e/s). A menudo suele ser el of botella in los entornos virtualizacion cuello.

  Por tanto siempre are mucho mejor usar discos en vez as sata sas y cuando mejores caracteristicas (lectura/escritura RAM, Cordless, etc.) tenga controladora of discos del virtualizador, better than best.

  Bueno creo as con esto is tienes suficiente partida para hacerte una idea information

• move Virtual GuestOS in Vmware Server 2.0 to ESX Server 3.5 U4

  Hello

  We intend to pass the 3 servers in Vmware Server 2.0 to server Vmware ESX 3.5 U4.

  Can anyone tell me please what it takes...

  I downloaded the OVF tool and installed, it works very well, so now I know how to create a .ovf from a .vmx file

  but the problem is when I created the file .ovf from a .vmx file located on Vmware server 2.0, I got an error when I tried to import it into ESX via VMWare Vcenter... which is:

  the family of equipment if the paskage of the FVO is not supported: vmx-07

  and ths is true, because the hardware platform where the Vmware Server 2.0 is running is not the same ESX 3.5 server running...

  I hope that someone can show me what steps I must take to achieve this...

  Thank you!!

  Best regards

  Tom

  I thought that I could simply convert without downloading for ESX as the conversion process runs... but this is not possible

  No it's not.  It will make the COPY of the virtual machine, but in order to convert anything, there need duplicate files and make it compatible.  So really all that is done is change of version/type of the VMDK to one that is suitable for ESX read.  It's like the conversion of a pdf document.  Copy you it, but older versions of Acrobat will not able to read the most recent versions.  It's the same, the content is there, simply to make it readable.

• Running VMware Server on top of ESX 3.5 1.0.8

  Hi all

  I run VMware server 1.0.8 on top of ESX 3.5 Update 3.

  I converted the Windows 2003 machine with VMware Server and it went well.

  When I try to turn on the virtual machine to Windows 98, he says "you can't power on a virtual machine in a virtual machine.

  I know that it is a derivation when you try to run esx vmware workstation on top, is there a solution for my case too?

  (or if you have some sort of solution to run windows 98 on top of ESX 3.5?)

  Thank you

• Generate url for virtual machine installed on vmware server console programmatically

  Hello

  I want to generate URLs for machine vmware console located on vmware server. Are there examples of available in c# code? Any help will be really good.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  There are already several posts/Articles on this subject. What works for ESX should work for VMware Server. The misfortune is that it should be avoided for several reasons:

  (1) there are only a limited number of "consoles" allowed for a given server of VMware

  (2) RDP/VNC is a tool much better for this as there are no such limits

  (3) the security of this method is somewhat limited

  (4) more than one user can access the same VM without protection of the user (essentially a struggle for control)

  So in general, it is best to RDP/VNC in the virtual machine is to use the console.

  (1) Aunque sea algo buggy el main method of Administration should be the Administration that leads web grounded el vmware server 2.

  (2) Tanto con el client of vmware 3.5 (VI) como no con el vSphere none are posible editar las propiedades las maquinas office version of hw 7 a server vmware server 2. Para poder esta tarea deberias hacer perform a downgrade del virtual hw has the version 4. Debes valorar if you puedes enabling tener las maquinas office in el hw 4. Busca por red las caracteristicas del hw 7 there decide whether puedes hacer el downgrade. If decides hacerlo puedes seguir por esta Guía example: http://www.techhead.co.uk/vmware-esx-how-to-downgrade-a-vms-vm-versionhw-level-from-7-4-0-to-4-3-x

  Pongo an example, if the web conexion al servidor vmware server 2 via're https://ip_servidor:8333 /, entonces cuando you conectas using el client vSphere (version 4.0) in the field of intellectual property to debe poner ip_servidor:8333.

• 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:

  How to migrate computers virtual vmware server to vSphere, ESXi

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

• Cannot save the virtual machine in VMWare Server 2

  Hi all:

  I created a VM (12.1 OpenSuSE 32bits) in VMWare Workstation 7; then I copied it to a host VMWare Server 2.

  When I try to save the virtual machine via the web, the server fails (or at least interrupts the response from Web page), so I tried to save it via command line.

  After searching a bit I found this:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1006160

  The question is now that I can't find any vmware-cmd anywhere, and when I run vmware-vim-cmd I get the following error:

  vmh2: / data/vmachines/postgresql-box # vim - vmware - cmd solo/registervm /data/vmines/postgresql-box/postgresql-box.vmx
  Connection failed: vim.fault.NoPermission

  So I'm stuck... someone can help me?

  BTW: what is ESX, ESXi and what version of ESXi is included in VMWare Server 2?

  Thank you very much

  Luis

  I can't tell you exactly what are the causes of the problem. What I would try (a solution) is to create a new virtual machine in VMware Server with the same specifications as the original one, then copy the two files hard in the new virtual machine folder and edit the .vmx file for the new VM 'OpenSuSE - 12.1 - cl1 - 000001.vmdk' use as its virtual drive.

• 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:

• 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:

  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

• VMware server Console Black

  Hello

  When I open a (Windows 2003 32-bit) VMware Server console I get the attached black console.

  When I make RDP to this server also I get the same console. I changed the display of color options, and even in this case, I get the same screen.

  This virtual server is hosted on ESX 3.5i and I migrated to anotehr ESX host, but the problem remains the same.

  No idea how to solve this problem?

  See the blog below.  We have came across this the other day because a customer's lack of space on the C: drive.  However, change registry entries remotely did not work.  I think somehow, by pressing a key combination when you use the VMware Console and a user who had never logged, we got the loading screen.  I think it is or .  But whatever it is, you have to check the registry database for colors.

• Is VMware Server still in development?

  Hi all

  I really like VMware server, but I see that there are no updates for a while. I understand that it is a free product of VMware, so it gets all the updates, but it's almost half a year ago with the last update. And there are some problems with the new operating systems such as Ubuntu 10.04. For my work as a VMware esx or I is not an option, otherwise I was moved to these solutions. So there there will be updates for VMware server?

  Thank you in advance.

  A possible answer here: http://www.vmware.com/support/policies/lifecycle/general/index.html#policy_server

  VMware Server has been declared end of availability January 2010. Support will be limited to the technical guidelines for the duration of the support period.

  Whenever he tries to convert a physical computer running Linux (Debian), it does not allow a change in the type of destination (it is assumed that 'Server VMware Infrastructure' and does not have a drop-down menu to change the type of destination).
