I have a windows VMWare box (host is win2003 OS) it has a few guest 2003 servers running. the host OS does not have IIS installed its IP is 10.0.0.5 one of the guest 2003 servers (IP 10.0.0.6) has IIS.I issued temp SSL from the IIS console with the setting for all unassigned and get a trusted root SSL installed on it. Now when I got to the server by IP address, I get a warning that it is not matching the domain, however I see the right trusted SSL installed. however, if I go to the server with the FQDN, I see a warning message that it does not match the name and the certificate is showing that it was issued by the temp SSL from IP 10.0.0.5 which is the ip of the host OS not the guest.
I deleted the certificate and set the website on IIS to have 10.0.0.6 as the IP of the website and created the SSL and got the trusted certificate reissued from the new CSR but it is still showing cerificate issued from the 10.0.0.5 and I cannot clear it.
it is driving me crazy. I went through the MMC for the installed certificate on the guest OS and did not see it there..... have you seen this before.
what is driving me nut is how it picked up the IP of the host OS and not the guest and why it is not clearing out when I clear the SSL completely from teh website setting, it still listens on port 443
Does anyone here use VMware server on a dedicated server to run Windows or other OS? And in terms of IP address how would this work? Do you need to set the VM as being NATed, or does it have it's own external IP? In terms of performance on a typical 100$-200$/mo dedicated server, how good is it? All these factors depend on a lot of things and I realize that, though. (what apps run, etc)
And do server providers even allow to install something like this? I've never leased a dedicated server before but I'm thinking of getting a linux one, but also running a windows VM for a RunUO server, and unfortunately that only runs in windows. I want a linux server as I prefer LAMP for hosting, and I'd try to get a few clients on the server just so I can pay it off monthly. Also Linux servers are generally cheaper monthly and I like the idea of using SSH tunnels rather then straight RDP, which gives me chills just thinking of, from a security perspective.
Not to start a flamewar, but I was curious about real world scenarios, and peoples experience with and recommendations for either.
I have been asked to plan out a smallish virtualization environment (10-12 Dell hosts, iSCSI Equalogic backend), and when reviewing the cost of going with VMWare over Citrix, I can't seem to justify the costs. I figure since Amazon runs on Xen, it must be pretty decent, but am I missing something?
we have problem with increase HDD for VPS in vmware
when i increase HDD show this error:
"Reconfigure Virtual Machine" failed to complete OK If these problems persist, please contact your system administrator. DetailsOperation failed because file already exists.
Does anyone think this is feasable? For instance, we all see web servers hosted in the "cloud", as well as pay per user exchange and other mail servers.
Now, what if I wanted to host all my servers (web, email, file, domain controller, and several application servers) at a data center using Vmware.
I did some research and found out that the cost of creating a private cloud (VMWARE licensing alone) would be prohibitive. Is there a way to rent/lease a "private cloud"? Or perhaps I would not even mind if we shared space with others on the server(s) on a "public cloud".
Any ideas on if VPS (or other types of) hosters that could provide this service?
I'm not sure how many people here use VMWare, but I'll give this question a shot... I'm looking for a solution similar to Winrar that can view the contents of the .vmdk file. Either to extract any files, or just view the contents without having the have the virtual machine online. I checked Google as well as VMWare's forums/website with no avail.
All these are free but which is best. What are the pros and cons? Have been using Virtuozzo and I love it but thinking about offering cheaper solutions with GPL software.
Which VmWare product allows me officially to use it for VPS hosting business (ESXi does not allow that)? Do you have a link to document where they specifically authorize use of their software to make and sell VPS? Are there any legal limitations? What about vSphere standard?
What about Xen, what are limitations of free version? Which payed version is best for VPS hosting, are there any legal limitations?
I have a VPS vmware 1.x and install Plesk 7.5.4 on it. But this server always fail MySQL and cannot connect sql.
Unable to connect to database: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10055) 0: C:Program FilesSWsoftPleskadminauto_prependauth.php3:187 psaerror(string "Unable to connect to database: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10055)")
But at Plesk Control Panel, MySQL is running.Then i must restart server. Day to day, i must restart VPS if i want to continue running my website. This VPS has contain 6 website
I have a need for a server outside of our network to run vmware 3i. A multi core server with 1 80 gig hd and some where around 2gigs of ram would be just want we need for our intended use.
anyone care to throw some prices my way?
Oh and i have the vmware 3i license and media which i can upload to you and get the entire process started.
My server runs windows 2003 St SP2 . and it has 2 physical network cards My data center provided me with 5 IPs .
I have setup VMware server V 1.0.3
I installed Centos under the virtual machine using NAT and DHCP , The guest runs with now problem but it uses local ip which means it is only accessible from the server desktop itself.
I want to make this guest use one of my 5 IPs, I understand that I have to use bridged network not NATing . but the problem is that I'm not able to configure the VMware to use bridged . and when I try ( bridged + static IP for the guest ) the virtual machine cannot download files nor I can access it from outside
any VPS resellers that are using VMWare ESXi as their platform for their hosting plans?
Also, if anyone is familiar with VMWare, I am curious as to what you think of these hardware specifications and how many Linux based CentOS VMs I can comfortably run on this hardware:
Processor:AMD Opteron Quad-Core 1352 Barcelona 2.1GHz Motherboard:Tyan S2925G2NR AM2 nVidia nForce 3400 ATX n3400B Memory/RAM:Kingston 1GB 240Pin DDR2800 ECC Unbuffered RAID Card:Adaptec AAR-2610SA 6Port SATA 64MB RAM Hard Drive 1:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive 2:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive 3:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive 4:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA
There would be two RAID1's in a RAID10 configuration for the storage.
i want to buy a powerful vps to run vmware workstation on it..i want to run about 2 or 3 operating systems on it...but i want each operating system to have specific unique ip ...if i ordered additional ips from host will it work? or i have to buy expensive VPNs? and what is the best powerful medium priced windows vps?
I have winXP pro as my OS and am running Fedora Core 7 as a guest operating system on vmware. I am trying to ssh from my winXP to FC7. Any thoughts on what I could check to see why I am getting connection refused? I have already turned off the firewall and selinux. Any other ideas?
Also, if possible i would like to see apache2 on my main machine. I would like to be able to turn on and off the viewing of what I am working on.
i'm trying to run ubuntu as a guest os on windows 2003 via vmware, although i can't get networking to work.
-Bridged Connection -1 Physical Nic -Static Ips
This is what i've done so far.
1. Installed Vmware, added ubuntu virtual machine and configured network settings in vmware to bridged.
2. In Ubuntu went to, System - Administration - Networking and configured ETH1 with the following: -Static Ip address -External Network IP -Subnet mask -External Gateway address
3. Disabled Vmware dhcp service.
Am i forgetting something?
Do i need to be setting the network info to use internal info from the bridged network?
I've been investigating and testing Xen for a few months in order to add Xen VPS to the hosting services I have available. With the recent news re: VMware Server, and my experience with VMware, I've started to look, and easily prefer, using this product over Xen. Has anyone else started to look at it as a possible alternative for hosting purposes?
