VMware Server

Hello,
I've recently purchased a dedicated server with Arch Linux installed... I've compiled vmware-server and vmware-server-modules from AUR, made a bridge network via eth0... Question is, how do I configure the guest OSes (also Arch Linux)?
If I supply one of the three IPs I've been assigned (only one is assigned to eth0 currently, the other two have no virtual interfaces) and set the gateway and DNS IPs to the eth0 IP address, I can't ping any domains nor get external access.
What do I need to do to configure the Arch Linux guests to work?

I can ping the host from the guest, and vice versa
ifconfig from the guest:

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?

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.

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:

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:

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

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.

With 117d, vmmon compiles and installs successfully but VMs

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,
My email can be found here:

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
The error happened when compiling the modules

Here's the errors I get after running vmware-config.pl
The correct version of one or more libraries needed to run VMware Server may be
missing. This is the output of ldd /usr/bin/vmware:

This program cannot tell for sure, but you may need to upgrade libc5 to glibc
before you can run VMware Server.

Screen resolution for OEL 5 on VMware Server 1.0.3

Hi
I have installed Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 in a VMware Server 1.0.3 virtual machine.
The problem is that I can only run the virtual machine in 800x600 or 640x480.
Anyone who has tried this and made it work?
I have VMWare Tools installed and I have run the vmware-tools-config, or what its called.
When choosing 1024x768 as the screen resolution. Linux is unable to start the Xserver. Sorry, but I don't have the error message when writing this.
The Virtual Machine i setup as a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 server.
Regards
Nick

Hi
This is how the system works right now.
I also tried to add manually the 1024x768 resolution with the Mode option. but this didn't work.
Thx in advance.

Solaris 10 Installed with VMware Server 1.0.3 free version

Hello
I am a beginner in S 10 and planned to start learning it installing S 10 on a VMware server 1.0.3 (free) on my machine where I have win xp pro pre-installed. I downloaded S 10 SW as ISO for CD and installed the same. My problem is the entire file system on S 10 seems read-only and I do not have access to create/change any new/existing file.
Can u help?

How to Expand the Screen of Windows Server 2003 on VMware Server 2 ?

Folks,
Hello. Because Windows 7 is not compatible to be installed PeopleSoft PIA, I have to install VMware Server 2 and then install Windows Server 2003, that is compatible with PIA, on the virtual machine.
But when I open Windows Server 2003 on the virtual machine, the screen of Win2K3 is very small, and its size is about 1/4 of the screen of my computer screen. This is not comfortable to work for a long time.
Does any folks know how to expand the screen of Windows Server 2003 on VMware Server 2 virtual machine so that its size covers the entire screen of my computer ?
Thanks in advance !
Lucy

Did you already installed the VMWare tools onto your VMWare guest OS ? Generally, it helps a lot to be able to redefine a larger screen definition.
