VMware Server

Nov 3, 2006

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.

VMWare Server Networking

Oct 19, 2007

Recently, I installed VMWare Server 1.0.4 on my dedicated server.

When I tried to install my private IP on my VMWare, I had no clue how to do that. I used NAT networking to share my main OS with my private VPS, but when I try to run a service that needs the port XXXX to be open, it wouldent let me use it.

For an example, my main OS IP is 82.00.000.000. My VPS is sharing the same IP address with the main OS. I tried to run an Apache service on my VPS, but when I try to access it by the IP 82.00.000.000 it gives me a connection reset page.

This also happens on other services like FTP and stuff.

My VPS is running Windows XP Professional SP2 with a legal retail license and my main OS on the server is CentOS 4.5

VMWare Server 2.0 Help - Bridging

May 11, 2009

I am just trying the water with VMware as a virtual platform to give some friends some freedom in hosting and cut down on the cpanel cost with vps

I installed vmware on my centos5 distribution, and used the default values vmnet0 is bridged to eth0.

I have multiple ips to the host server eth0 to eth0:7 i think, how do i create a bridge or assign an ip only for that one vps to use.

create another bridge for eth0:7? then manually enter the ip info in the guest and bam?

How To Add An IP In VMWare Server 2? Add On The VPS Directly Or First On The Host?

May 2, 2009

I have configured and install VMWare Server on my server and currently trying to install Plesk. I have gotten the network working so I can download.

I want to give the VMWare Virtual Machine it's own IP so I can connect via PuTTY instead of the console, which e.g. does not let me paste url's (plesk download url is long).

I am planning to host a few websites on the Plesk Virtual Machine. I have added the IP my network provider given me using 'setup' in CentOS and it's listed in /sbin/ifconfig, but does not work yet.

Do I first need to add the ip to the host server self? Or can a VPS directly use an ip?

(PS: Do I use too many hard breaks in my texts?)

Does VT Improve The Performance Of VMWare Server

May 4, 2009

The newer Pentium 4 3.0 GHz processors had so called 'VT'-support. That's something every regular processor has nowadays.

I currently run a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz server without VT. Will there be a drastic performance boost if I use a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz with VT?

What is VT anyways? I only know that Xen requires it if you wish to host a Windows Virtual Machine on a Xen Linux Server.

VMWare Server 1.0.4 - Windows XP Networking

Oct 20, 2007

I installed VMWare Server 1.0.4 on my dedicated server, and set-up a new Windows XP Professional VM.

I have 3 more IP's that are not used.

When installing the VM, I used NAT networking to share my main OS network with my private VPS, but basically no one can access the VM from the outside world. I can surf the net while being on NAT status in the VM, but if I try to run any service like Apache, no one can enter to the service besides the localhost.

My VPS is running Windows XP Professional SP2 with a legal retail license and my main OS on the server is CentOS 4.5 (detailed hardware is mentioned below)

Do you have any idea how can I configure my network so anyone can enter the VPS?

And please, if you can explain me step by step because I'm a real newbie hehe

Kind Regards,

VMware Server Under Windows Server 2003

May 12, 2007

I yesterday installed VMware Server under Windows Server 2003 x64, Enterprise Edition, and have this morning noticed the message 'Service unavailable' when browsing to a website hosted on the server under IIS. I have briefly looked into the problem and found the DefaultAppPool stopped, but after restarting it, it resets back to the stopped state when I once again browse to a hosted website.

Does anyone have any experience of this problem and a workaround?

VMware Server On A Win 2003 Dedicated Machine

Mar 20, 2007

Our company website runs on a Win 2003 server with ASP.

Now we also want to run some new PHP applications (e.g. MediaWiki). I think of running them in a (Linux) virtual machine on the Win 2003 server, to keep everything separated.

Does anybody else use VMware to split his dedicated server in several parts? It sounds like a good idea to me, but can not find much information about it. Or are there better alternatives?

XenServer Or VMWare

Aug 18, 2009

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?

Hosting A LAN Using VMWAre

Oct 5, 2009

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?

How Many People Use VMWare?

Mar 27, 2009

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.
