• VMware Server VM stopping when administrators log VMware Server version 1.0

  Hello

  In our environment, we have 3 servers VMware with 3-4 virtual machines running on each server in VMware (Version 1.0.5).

  When disconnect us from VMware Server some of the virtual machine are stop down and in one case stop the VM. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

  Servers running VMware Server on has a good specification & there are enough resources on each of the servers.

  I'd appreciate any help.

  Thanks in advance, P

  Hello.  Go to the Options tab in the settings of the virtual machine, and then select start/stop on the left side. In the right part, change the account of Virtual Machine in "Local System account". This will keep the VMS running when you disconnect.

  Good luck!

• No web console with the version of VMware Server is a core 2.0.1 and 2.6.31 - 10-generic in Karmic AMD64

  Hello

  I've successfully used vmware - server.2.0.1_x64 - modules - 2.6.30.4 - fix.patch to build modules on my laptop running Ubuntu Karmic Koala. VMware Server version is VMware server 2.0.1 - 2.0.1 - 156745.x86_64.tar.gz, and I'm running it with kernel 2.6.31 - 10-generic. The question I have is that while the web console seems to be running on port 8333, I can't get an answer from him. Has anyone else encountered this problem? See you soon.

  OK, I got it to work. Try this in a terminal and let me know if it works for you too:

  See you soon,.

• VMWARE Server Maschinen auf der gleichen HW ESXi installieren unter

  Hallo zusammen,

  ICH möchte 3 virtual Maschinen, die auf VMWARE Server (Version 1) laufen, auf der gleichen HW, aber auf einem ESXi Server betreiben.

  The Server (FS RX200 Fijitsu) ist in der Kompatibilitatsliste von VMWARE included, should diesbezuglich ja supported werden und.

  Wie ist in diesem Fall die beste do?  Eine direct conversion (VMWARE Server - & gt; ESXi) kann ich ja nicht paper,.

  da der ESXi Server ja noch nicht so.

  VG,

• You can convert a virtual server on a single machine in VMware Server on another computer using ESXi?

  Here is my scenario:

  Machine 1

  Server5 - host VMware Server 1.0.6 version

  Is within Server5 Server6 running on VMware Server & Server7

  Machine 2

  Created an ESXi Server

  I want to one Server11 newly created on the ESXi machine be Server7.

  All machines are running MS Server 2003 R2 SP2

  I tried using the conversion tool and get an error message "actively denied connection to the target computer.  I tried all the possible scenarios regarding the installation of conversion on each machine tool.  I made sure that telnet runs on both machines.  I found little or no information on this error message on the VMware site.  Is there a better way to convert this virtual machine that use the conversion tool?  It sounds simple enough, but I'm obviously missing something.  Thanks in advance.

  Stand-alone installation of converter on the host that is running Server 1.0.6.  http://www.VMware.com/download/converter/

  Turning off 6 Server and Server 7.

  In the first step of the Converter Wizard, select the option for an engine off the coast of the virtual machine.  This should allow you to select the VMX file using a button 'Browse '.

• 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 OR ESX? infrastructure consolidation

  Hello

  We must take a decision on a simple question. To consolidate our 2 servers on VMWARE SERVER 2 or move to ESX.

  Currently, we have 1 esx (performing a large) and 1 SERVER VMWARE 1.06 (no operation never met nor). We have more skills on VMWARE SERVER and we vmwares heavily downloading clients (vms development).

  On VMWARE SERVER, it is crystal clear, but on ESX (especially with LINUX VM) is tricky. Under Windows, we use the converter but with linux, we don't have many options.

  I think the underlying question is: product IS VMWARE SERVER is going to disappear?

  Any notice will be really appreciatte!

  Kind regards

  I think that you have very well answered your question on what platform you use. You seem to be a lot more comfortable with VMware Server - and it's a great product - so why not stick with it? You might consider ESXi (free version)... assuming that your hardware will support it, but I think you might find the complexity of dealing with ever-present VMFS file system - and it sounds like it is your biggest problem with ESX.

  I think the underlying question is: product IS VMWARE SERVER is going to disappear?

  Not any time soon. VMware Server fills a different niche than not ESX/ESXi. VMware Server 2.0 is already available and I do not see VMware keeps the product - it is an introduction to virtualization soft and is a path to the company, ESX product range.

• Migration of VMWare ESXi4 to VMWare Server 2

  I used VMWare ESXi4 for months, but it seems that my old server can not handle more.

  So, I would migrate to the earlier version of VMWare, which is VMWare Server 2

  There are many jobs that I created with ESXi.

  I wonder if it can use with VMWare Server2, or I have to do some kind of cloning or the conversion similar to esxi server migration?

  I'm sorry for my weak in English typo.

  Thank you

• Risk of newer version of VMware Server comments

  Hi all

  I have a situation where I need to migrate a virtual in VMware Server 1.0.7 for 1.0.2 machine (by copy paste files and folders)

  Is there a risk involved as causing an incompatibility or corruption?

  Thank you.

  1.0.2 is old enough. I would try to avoid this situation. Better update the other server 1.0.9 (more real).

  It depends on the operating system host and guest. You should read the release notes for each version and try to decide on them.

• Failed to start service "VMware VirtualCenter Server" version 5.5 on windows 2008 r2

  Hello

  If I want to start the VMware VirtualCenter server on my windows 2008 r2 service I get the following error in the windows event logs:

  The description for event ID 1000 from source VMware VirtualCenter Server can not be found. Either the component that triggers this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

  
  

  The following information has been saved with the event:

  
  

  Could not initialize the VMware VirtualCenter. Closing...

  
  

  My vcenter Server version is 5.5.0.42389

  
  

  the "VMware vCenter Inventory Service" is running, the other «VMware vCenter...» "service are not running.

  
  

  If I want to fix the vCenter via programs and features, I only get the warning, my system is not in a domain.

  
  

  There are all the other newspapers that I can get the question?
  Maybe any help?

  
  

  I can't say since when vCenter does not work, perhaps because any Windows Update has been installed, but then I have to find anything through google I guess...

• To hardware Version 7 computers virtual in VMWare Server 2.0.2 ESXi 5

  Hello world

  Taking his retirement from 2 host vmware server computers.  They run Server 2008 64 with VMWare server 2.0.2.  Each host has 3 VMs Windows, 6 in total, all configured with Hardware Version 7

  The plan is to set up a new host running ESXi 5.  Install, configure and ready for deployment.  After you have configured the data stores, I want to spend my VMs the 2 old servers a new box of ESXi 5.

  I'll copy all virtual machines from the old servers to individual folders on my Windows 7 Desktop and use the vSphere client to load the virtual machines on new data stores.

  I read that ESXi 5 can read Version 7 VMs.  Does this mean I can use the virtual machine as is, or still need to convert the hard?  I would like to convert them before their download?  I'm a little gray in this area...

  Can you get it someone more experienced please let me know the step by step... or a link to a good "how to" I would really appreciate it.

  Thank you

  There is nothing for you. VMware Converter takes care of this. It will not only increase the size of the disc, but also the size of the partition.

• Migration of VMware Server 2-> ESXi

  I agree that it is probably a FAQ - if it is, a big boost for the right page would be very helpful and appreciated. My google-fu is weak today.

  (At this time), I have a server to use for virtualization. He is currently running Win2k3 x 64 and VMware Server 2.0.

  After checking the assorted HCLs, I came to the realization that this thing will probably be ESXi which, as far as I know, will that make life easier and provide more resources to my VM customers. But before you start, I need clarification on a single piece: my clients VMware Server 2 must be migrated in some way?

  I can quite easily copy their directories on a Windows file server before the upgrade.

  After the upgrade, if:

  1. I can copy them on the ESXi Server? "Speak" windows network? Or do I I intend using a USB stick or something similar

  2. How to migrate or convert the VMware Server 2 offline customers to ESXi 3?

  Are there some best practices guides that would help?

  Kind regards

  Chris

  Yes. But with a limitation - ESX (i) does not support IDE HDDS in VM.

• 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:
