Vmware server: revert - vmdb failure insufficient permission

quick question to people running vmware-server. I installed it from AUR. It works fine except for Revert (Snapshot works or to be more precise it gives no error).
vmware gui gives me two pop-up windows with the following error messages as soon as I press the "Revert" button:
- vmdb failure
- insufficient permissions
I found following messages in:
/var/log/vmware/vmware-servers.log

could anybody try taking a snapshot and then reverting? Don't do it on a machine you need!

Hi
Don't know if you got this fixed but I just had the same error. A bit of googling found this:
http://www.vmware.com/community/message … eID=375968
which then led to max connection errors which was fixed by this:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=34594
All seems ok now.
Your clues seems to have no sense for me.
First link point to a problem with vmware and pam, second to some problems with syslog-ng.
I don't know how it is relevant to problems with vmware's snapshot.
Anyone has an idea? As I have the same problem as waldek_a

Insufficient permission to access server ActivePortal

I keep seeing this on and off on our servers, but cannot find a reason.
it pops up 3 -4 times and then I don't see it for weeks.
Anybody has any guess for me to hunt it down??
2008-10-01 03:25:39,649 [ServletExec: request: time=1222831539649, uri=/Lighthammer/Illuminator] ERROR ErrorHandler - Insufficient permission to access server ActivePortal
com.lighthammer.Illuminator.logging.LHException: Insufficient permission to access server ActivePortal
Thanks
Andy

Andy,
Well, the error itself simply means that someone tried to run a query against the ActivePortal, but does not belong to a Role that is mapped to this data source.
A before B, C, D, so perhaps this data server is first in your list when you do: "/Lighthammer/Illuminator?Service=SystemInfo&Mode=ServerList"
If someone went into the TemplateEditor and selected this in the list it would run a ModeList query to populate the choices, which would constitue a query, and therefore the no permission error.
If would also happen if you've enabled the Metric\Alert Services section in your menu by mapping Role(s) to this service, then someone clicked on one of the web pages that uses "ActivePortal" behind an iGrid/iBrowser applet.
If you add the 'Everyone' Role to this Data Server the error should go away, but if you are really adventurous, then with the General Log set to 'Informational' you should see user session information in the same section as the fatal error.
Regards,
Jeremy

Oracle 10gR2 RAC - VMware Server - PRIF-10

I have been working desparately to get a 10g RAC configuration setup under VMWare Server. All of the requirements seem to be met using "runcluvfy". but I can get down to running "orainstRoot" and "root" shells but after replying "Ok" to the completion I get a PRIF-10 message indicating a failure to initialized cluster registry. I'm not sure what to do next. I'm using an online guide from the web to get the configuration running. Any guidance would be most appreciated. Thanks.

There are some nice documents explaining the install process on Vmware. You can try Tim Hall's article: http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2RACInstallationOnCentos4UsingVMware.php

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.

Suddenly we are getting the below exception while trying to register plugin using 'xelsysadm'. Also we couldn't able to login to design console.
But we could able to login to OIM admin console using this xelsysadm user.

You should check the groups that Xelsysadm is part of and the permissions. Maybe could exist a conflict between those. Try to test Xelsysadm as part of SYS ADMIN only. If it is already only part of this group, try to check those permissions.
Long time ago, I saw one metalink note that talk about this behavior in 9.1.0.2 not 11G, but it should help as well: '"Security Violation: User: '' has insufficient permission" In OIM Logs [ID 1219144.1]' . It seems to be the same situation.
I hope this helps,

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?

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.

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?

Unable to build the vmmon module.
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:
http://radu.cotescu.com/2009/10/30/how- … mic-koala/
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.

Cannot uninstall VMware Server 1.0. from Windows 7

[pictures attached]
I tried to install VMware Server 1.0.10, but got this message:
Windows requires a digitally signed driver
A recently installed program tried to install an unsigned driver.
This version of Windows requires all drivers to have a valid digital signature.
The driver is unavailable and the program that uses this driver might not work correctly.
Uninstall the program or device that uses this driver and check the
publisher's support website to get a digitally signed driver.
Driver: VMware bridge driver (64-bit)
Service: VMware Bridge Protocol
PROBLEM: cannot uninstall VMware Server
QUESTION: how can I manually uninstall VMware Server from my Windows 7?
Thanks in advance.

If you're being flooded with this (literally every second) in /var/log/messages I would recommend applying patch 5679560 (if you have access to metalink):
Oct 16 11:05:06 vmerin su(pam_unix)[8725]: session closed for user oracle
Oct 16 11:05:06 vmerin su(pam_unix)[8768]: session opened for user oracle by (uid=0)
This will reduce the load significantly.

Bump VMware Server 1.0.7 Latest error --Not enough memory...

History:
Four weeks ago--
Patched and installed VMware Server 1.0.5 on Archlinux with kernel 2.6.25... everything worked well. Bliss!
About 2 weeks ago--
Upgraded kernel to 2.6.26... time suck began.
Current status:
After banging on VMware and vmmon patch and source code for a while,
now have on kernel 2.6.26-arch--
VMware Server 1.0.7 with patch ...117d, modified as follows:
In .../vmmon-only/include/iocontrols.h
line 48 #define VMMON_VERSION (168 << 16 | 0) changed to:
line 48 #define VMMON_VERSION (138 << 16 | 0)
Patch reasoning [limited newb alert]:
Without 117d, vmmon fails to compile with error re: .nopage
With 117d, vmmon compiles and installs successfully but VMs
won't start with error re: expect version 138 got 168
With patch modified, now past the version error, but getting the error:

or adjust the additional memory settings to allow more virtual machine
memory to be swapped    [There's plenty of memory]

After the tests I've done, I don't believe this error really has anything to do with low memory.

And so I post.
What next?
thanx in advance.

It's likely that instead of trying to plot 5 charts with 150000 data-points, you're trying to plot 150000charts with 5 data-points! Try right-clicking on the chart - do you see "Transpose Array" property? If it's checked, UNcheck it (if UNchecked, check it!)

Can't download vmware server 1.0.10 (fail)

I tried today to download vmware server 1.0.10, but the download link location on the download page (https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/details?downloadGroup=SERVER1010&productId=25) points to https://www.vmware.com/go/getserver. This unfortunately does not have links for VMware server 1.0 (any release). Can someone please fix this? I know VMware server 1.0 is outdated, but the fabulous tool liveview depends on it.
Does anyone know of a working download link?

Guys, email me and I'll send you a link,

Vmware Server 1.0.3 and kernel 2.6.22

Maybe this will be of help to anyone...
The modules for vmware server 1.0.3 don't compile under 2.6.22-ARCH kernel from testing, and as far as I know there is no patch to fix that automatically yet. I was able to to compile them successfully using the information from post 11 in this thread: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread. … adID=92709 - the specific file that I had to edit was "/usr/src/linux-2.6.22-ARCH/include/asm-i386/page.h".

To compile vmware workstation 6 for the new kernel check out this link.

[solution] Installing vmware server on x86_64

I have been getting errors when attempting to run vmware-config.pl on vmware-server with kernel 2.6.30
