• 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).

• x 64 x 64 host, VMWare server 2.0.2 reviews

  I am puzzled, and despite hours of frustration, I'll try to keep this brief.  I'm looking to confirm a bug, or to find a workaround/solution to my situation. All constructive comments are appreciated.

  I have two scenarios, a job, a step:

  1. Windows 7 Ent x 64 (Intel E6850). Running VMWare Workstation 7. I installed a Guest OS from Windows Server 2008 STD x 64 and it works fine.

  I now need to move this comment to another server.

  2 so I have Server 2008 standard R2 x 64. (Intel E3200) Running VMWare Server 2.0.2. I tried to install the same OS (2 k 8 R2 x 64), as a guest, but I get the error I've seen several times:

  "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware change might be the cause...

  File: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe

  Status: 0xc000035a

  Info: attempt to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not compatible with the 64-bit mode. »

  The difference of the single percievable between #1 and #2 is the different CPU (two VT support) and the HOST operating system.

  Any ideas how I can get this installed?

  -David

  VT - x is activated on the host #2?  See troubleshooting problems of Intel VT - x.

• SLED 11 host - VMware Server 1 upgrade to VMware Server 2, former VM work now "(invalid).

  The other day, I upgraded my work, the latest installation of VMware Server 1 to the latest VMware Server 2 for linux 64. Everything went perfectly with the installation, except for the little matter that now my Windows Vista, Windows XP SP 3 and my VM Windows 2000 are listed as "not valid" in the inventory. They have never worked.

  What is the best way to start troubleshooting this?

  Sorry we couldn't get you go - I'm sure we could give enough time.

  If you have installed from the rpm package you should just be able to uninstall via an RPM EI and then will delete the virtual machines and their associated files.

• Problem with instalation VMware server 2 on Debian Lenny (linux-image - 2.6.30 - 1-686. bpo)

  Hello

  I have problem with instalation VMware server 2 on Debian Lenny (linux-image - 2.6.30 - 1-686. bpo). The problem appears in the last step of the instalation during construction of the vmmon module I installed VMware server 2 on Debian Lenny (linux-image - 2.6.26) according to http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-vmware-server-2-on-debian-lenny and Vmware has worked well.

  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.

  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.

  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?

• VMware vSphere: Troubleshooting [5.5] workshop preliminary training

  Hello

  I was wondering if I would be admitted to the training and possibly be eligible for the exam of the VCP5 - VTC (VCP550).

  I had no prior training of VMWare VSphere sanctioned or certification. Just funded by the learning company, self-training videos available of VSphere CIM and tinkering on my labs. But I have a couple of years of experience in the treatment of VSphere. I just thought it would be best to go directly to the VSphere rather than training with VSphere CIM workshop.

  On the learning portal, the prerequisites are:

  

  So basically, my plan is to:

  1) attend the VMware Vsphere troubleshooting training workshop

  (2) the exam for VCP 550

  (3) obtain VCP - certified DV

  Is this possible in my situation? Thanks in advance for your contributions.

  Am I safe to assume that the workshop, the program will not be validated if the participant has the skills required to register? Is it on a basis "enter at your own risk '?

  Yes, you are right, and don't forget mark answers as useful and correct :-)

  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.

• 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.
