VMWare Server-64bit in Arch64

There is a 64-bit version of VMWare2 available from vmware's site. Has anyone used this to install vmware server on Arch64?

Well, I got the tarbal for VMWare2.0 from their website. I followed the guide for installing VMWare in 32-bit Arch with the exception of running the any-to-any patch. I'm running a default kernel and everything worked as is.
EDIT: Changed website link to point directly at download page. Click on Download Now under VMWare Server 2.0 and it will take you to a page where you can register for your free serial and then get the download.

Vmware server on Arch64

Was wondering if it is possible to install vmware server on an arch64 install. The vmware install the wiki mentions to create a 32 bit environment, but after looking at the vmware server release notes, it indicates it has 64bit support. I tried to install vmware server using the normal wiki install http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_VMware and I get the following errors. It seems to install perfectly untill I try to enter the license key. Anyway, here's the error I get when trying to start vmware.

Any ideas? I'm a newbie so be gentle.

Here's someinfo I pulled off the vmware manual on their website. Although I could be wrong, this looks like vmware supports 64 bit linux host systems.
Linux Host Operating System Requirements
Supported distributions and kernels are listed in this section. VMware Server might not
run on systems that do not meet these requirements. Platforms that are not listed are
not supported.
64‐bit host computers can run the following operating systems for 64‐bit extended
systems:

Virtualization on Arch64 (qemu, vmware server, etc.)

Does anyone have any of these things working with Arch64? I've been trying to get them all working all day long and nothing goes. If you have something working what did you do to get it running?
thanks
karsten

edit2--i figured it out by using some of the script in the other vmware wiki article that this one links to about changing some references in the .c files to work with the .19 kernel. now it works
edit-- i that that part to work by not being in the chroot, but the second one now fails (vmnet):

Running VMware Server 2 services as a non-root user

Hello,
I have switched from VirtualBox to VMware Server 2 on my Arch64 server and the transition has been relatively painless. I am at the point now where I want to run VMware's services as a non-root user account (I have a service account called "svc-vmadmin" that I'd like to use). I'm generally not comfortable running services as root, but at the same time I'm conscious of the time and effort required vs. overall benefits.
I've done the usual Google searches and even checked the VMware Server 2 user guide and the VMware community, but I can't find specific details on how to achieve this.
Is this even plausible in a Linux environment? I used to run VMware Server 1 under the SYSTEM account on Windows Server, so I'm hopinga similar thing can be done on Arch.
I would greatly appreciate any information or personal experience that fellow Archers can share.
Thanks,
Thom

System services are handled by launchd.
If you look in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ you'll see a plist file for each service including org.isc.named.plist, the plist for named.
If you edit this file you'll see it's an XML document that describes the service and how the OS should handle it, including the part:
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/sbin/named</string>
<string>-f</string>
</array>
Just append another entry in the array that says <string>-u nobody</string> (or whatever username you want to run as.

VMWare-server in 64 bit

Sorry I don't speak German
I set up Arch to play with it and I've been impressed, it's a pretty nice distro. I set up everything that I had working in Debian Sid (even though for Picasa I had to set up a 32 bit chroot environment) however I can't install VMware-server, in comparison it's pretty trivial to set it up in Sid...
Anyway, I've tried to set it up in 32 bit chroot and that didn't work, the install seems successful but it doesn't start. I assume it's not possible to run it in chroot, I'm not sure what are chroot limitation, maybe one cannot install kernel modules?
In 64 bit I had a problem to get all the 32-bit libraries, can anyone who has it install assure me it's not a lost case so I will dedicate more time with it? Do you have some advice?
Thanks!
PS. Oh and what's the deal with 32 bit libraries overwriting 64 bit ones... I had bunch a problems with that, apt-get would have never allowed that...

I've made a mistake, this PKGBUILD is not prepared for Arch64. Maintainer seems not to be using Arch64. Probably he cannot test this package on x86_64 architecture and PKGBUILD needs some more changes to run under x86 arch. It is still possible, but you would have to get some 32bit libraries.
I have found similar topic in ArchWiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _on_Arch64
I was using vmware-workstation package from AUR, you may be interested in it. You would have to install lib32-libxtst package from pacman before using it (maybe installing this package makes vmware-server to run under x86_64 architecture...).

VMware Server Web Access Console interface Q

Hi,
Running VMware Server 2.0.2 with VMware Remote Console Plug-in (vmware-vmrc-win32-x86.exe). How do get the VMware machine to appear in the cosole area instread of a seperate pop-up window. Also if I open multiple windows how to get them to appear under as tabs in the console window instead of seperate windows.
New at this so details would be appreciated so I can do it. By the way is there 64bit versions of the Console exe? what about VMware server 2.0.2?
Thanks

I managed to install Windows 7 in Vmware Server yesterday. And it worked fine, except that my whole system became very unresponive together with the Windows 7 installation. But it did work. I rebooted my computer today and started up the vmware deamon, and no luck in connecting to the server. I only get an 'Unable to connect' error in Firefox. To fix this, I will have to remove /etc/vmware and install vmware-server over again.
So at the moment, Virtualbox is winning hands down. It don't slow down my hole system, and Windows feels as fast as it was running not in a VM. And it works. The only issue is very slow IO.
Vmware Workstation 6 was alot faster than the Server version. Maybe I shuld try it instead. Just have to find a PGKBUILD for it.

Error when starting a converted VM (from vmware server edition)

Hi, i am trying to start a converted VM from VMWARE SERVER. I think i have followed steps to import an VMWARE machine (using resources >> virtual machines images) and it does not return errors when converting VM but then, when trying to start it, it returns

You can check on the console and ensure the console says that Hardware Virtualization is enabled. If not, check in your BIOS that the processor hardware virtualization is enabled. If you don't have an option, your PC may not have the Intel VT-x or AMD-v extensions required to support hardware virtualization.
You can check to see if your processor supports this extension by using:
Intel processor:
# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmxAMD processor:
# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep svmIf you see a result, it means the processor has that support. You still need to ensure that it is enabled in the BIOS.

Start Guest OS Automatically through VMware Server 2 Web Console

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to get the guest OS to automatically start/stop when VMware starts/stops? The user's manual says to click on Edit Virtual Machine Startup/Shutdown Settings, but that link is not there for me under the Commands tab. I also upgraded this from Hardware v4 to v7. I'm not sure if that makes a difference. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated, because when my VMware server restarts, I cannot get it to automatically start the virtual machines.
Reference from the User's Manual:
Enabling System-Wide Startup and Shutdown Settings
You can enable virtual machines to be started and shut down automatically and configure how and when virtual machines are started and shut down.
To enable system-wide startup and shutdown settings
1 Select the host in the Inventory panel.
2 In the Commands section of the host Summary tab, click Edit Virtual Machine Startup/Shutdown Settings.
This is within the VMware Server 2 user's guide under Managing Your VMware Server -> Configuring Virtual Machine Startup and Shutdown Settings

Hi Paul,
I see now what you mean. You have to select the host for the entire system, not the guest OS. That's what confused me.
Didn't previous versions have a link on there to define how the startup of the specific guest OS functioned?

Install Netweaver 7.1, service pack 3 on Windows 2008 Server 64bit

Hi All,
Good Morning. I am working as Oracle APPS DBA. I had a requirement for installing Netweaver 7.1, service pack 3 on Windows 2008 Server 64bit machine.
I need this Application server for Vertex O-Series which is working with SQL Server as the database.
Can any of you guys help me in providing the document or steps in order to install this application server?
1. Pre-Requisties steps
2. Installation
3. Post steps
I apperciat your help in this.
Thanks,
Srinivas.

Hello.
We are at the same point too.
Anybody here install the Vertex O series 6 running on the Java Stack? if so, what NW release and what component?
We are currently running an older version on SAP NW640 JAVA with no issue, and I am making the assumption the new Vertex would be running on the same SAP java AS for 7*... maybe not?
The install documents from Vertex say the requirement for SAP is:
"SAP NetWeaver 7.1 with Service Pack 3 or higher" and I see that there is only 7.1 for PI and Mobile.
(Maybe they mean SAP NW 7 SP3?)
We did ask Vertex, the company, about running this on the java app and they wrote:
"Netweaver 7.1 is currently supported for deployment of O Series 6.0. Versions 7.0 and 7.3 of Netweaver are not supported.
O Series 6.0 is supported for use with Java 1.5 and Java 1.6. "
Thanks for your help. And I will post here again if I find my answer.

[solved] vmware-server aur build fails

I'm trying to install vmware-server from aur. Downloaded the .tar.gz file from vmware, placed it in the build directory, and let it go. Build fails with the following:

Does anyone know of a solution? virtualbox works great, but doesn't support TI's MSP430UIF FET, which is why I'm trying out vmware.

Trying again... I haven't been able to find a solution. Is there something else I should be doing to install vmware-server and vmware-server-modules?

My previous vmware server 2 installation was patched for kernel 2.6.30 according to the information here:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/1286903
Before attempting to run vmware-config.pl I reinstalled with vmware-install.pl.
Thanks.

For reference I post here the solution to the mouse flickering, in case anyone has the same problem:

Just follow step 6 to solve the problem.

Thank you very much, that works just fine.
I have not noticed any strange VM behavior on my Windows XP installation. But I only use it to test websites with IE and it does not run in full screen mode.
Now I only need to find out why Opera is running at 101% CPU load since the update and I will be all set
Thanks again.
