  • Virtual MACHINE created on VMWare Workstation for Windows - move to VMWare Workstation for Linux?

    I have a bunch of VMs that I built using VMWare Workstation for Windows running on a Win2003 Server 7.1.3. The virtual machine is running Windows XP sp3. Can I move these Ubuntu VM to run under VMWare for Linux, if I buy a license for the current version or any version?

    Thank you

    Yes, but with some reservations.  Of course, Windows and Linux use different ways to represent the paths and devices so a few changes to the virtual machine may be necessary.  All that is hard coded in the configuration file .vmx depicting the paths of type Windows and device names must be changed by the GUI settings or manually edit the .vmx config file.  In addition any virtual machine containing snapshots where the parentFileNameHint in the DescriptorFile of disc, so drowned in a monolithicSparse or the first measure not binary snapshot virtual hard drive, which uses a QPF (fully qualified path name), it will have to be changed.  If you are unsure how to do this then I suggest a delete all snapshots before moving on to another system.

    A Windows VM that fall under the WPA will in all likelihood have to be reactivated if the host CPU are not in the same class.

    If you copy a Windows VM for the delivery of a copy on the source system, that you must have and or get the appropriate number of licenses and or product keys for the copy number you keep.

  • Windows 2008 Server NFS - permission denied when accessing the NFS data store

    Hello

    I'm trying to configure a Windows 2008 Server to store virtual machines on an NFS share.

    When I add the data store to my host, I have no Brown Read-only and the data store is added successfully.

    When I browse the data store, as soon as I try to delete a file or create a folder, I have an error message: "cannot delete" or "cannot complete the file was created.

    It seems to be a problem of rights NFS, but impossible to find what the problem is.

    In the/var/log/vmkernel, I see:

    Mar 23 17:43:07 vmw-esx1 vmkernel: 1:02:37:20.635 cpu4:4109) NFSLock: 2677: can't get the lock on the file new document texte.txt 0x4100070384d0 on circe (10.254.0.19): Permission denied

    Don't you have a howto use NFS with Windows 2008 to help me?  I found one for Windows 2003, but think are too different.

    Or another idea?

    See document attached with the NFS share parameters.

    Philippe

    You must configure the user name mapping in Services for UNIX/NFS and map the root user.  Detailed instructions here: http://www.sohoadvisers.com/tutorials/vmware-esxi/connect-esxi-to-windows-nfs.  I was able to implement some hosts to use my Windows NFS export, but it was a bit unreliable.  This is a configuration not supported with VMware...

  • vCenter 4 hosted on Windows 2008 Server

    I wonder to explore the possibility to pass the system vCenter 4, which is a virtual machine within the environment clustered ESX of hosted on a Windows 2003 server to a Windows 2008 Server.  I suppose that this subject is not new, but can't find any information about it.  Is there a timeline available or the information on it?  R & D/QA prepares a migration plan or guideline to allow this to happen?  If so, it will take a simple migration/upgrade to level or vCenter will need to be reinstalled from scratch?

    This isn't just normal? Just today I upgraded to VC4.0 to be able to deploy my new servers based on findings on this forum. And no matter if I change the Machintype Vista x 64 or elsewhere Vista32 (what is wrong of course). Any other gopt experience with this?

    There should be no need to upgrade to vCenter4 just to be able to customize a W2K8 Guest.  We vCenter 2.5 and have no problem.

  • Installation of vCenter Server on Windows 2008 Server R2

    Hi all

    I have the bits for vCenter 2.5 5 update and I try to install on a new Windows 2008 Server R2.  When I select the server option he returned that ports 80 and 443 are to use (which they are) and then advises to use the custom option.  I select custom and it indicates that the server cannot be installed and the client is available to install.  I'm missing something here, and vCenter Server will not install on R2?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

  • vCenter on Windows 2008 Server Core?

    I have searched all over the Internet (especially the VMware site), but couldn't find a yes/no answer to this question:

    Is vCenter installation on a Windows 2008 Server Core?

    And if not, why it wouldn't work?

    Thanks for your comments - I have faith that by the wealth of experience available on this forum, I will finally have my answer...

    as of today, Windows 2008 is not a host to vCenter operating system.
