<description><![CDATA[Este post faz referência sobre virtualização computacional, modelo de abstração de recursos computac]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Este post faz referência sobre virtualização computacional, modelo de abstração de recursos computacionais, afim de prover redução de recursos necessários para consolidar diferentes arquiteturas, sob um único hardware básico (ou avançado, indo do gosto do freguês).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pretendo cobrir a parte sobre virtualização de sistemas operacionais (virtualização de plataformas), portanto, não falarei detalhadamentesobre as outras abordagens de virtualização. Apesar de ser um assunto relativamente novo, é um assunto, ao mesmo tempo, relativamente muito velho. Entendo por virtualização a grande invenção da <span style="text-decoration:underline;">memória virtual </span>(que abstrai um segundo dispositivo de armazenamento, como memória principal, e estende sobre esse o espaço de endereçamento de instruções), as <span style="text-decoration:underline;">interfaces virtuais de rede </span>(onde, por exemplo, dependendo das capacidades do dispositivo, pode-se criar diversas interfaces de rede virtuais, com diversos pontos de acesso em IP, por exemplo, sob um único dispositivo físico), as <span style="text-decoration:underline;">interfaces virtuais de armazenamento</span> (que podem ser, desde abstrações via rede, até um storage inteiro virtual), <span style="text-decoration:underline;">VPNs</span> (que nada mais são que redes inteiras virtuais),<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> virtualização de desktops</span> (como terminais burros, ou por exemplo, serviços de terminais remotos), <span style="text-decoration:underline;">virtualização e clustering de sistemas de gestão de bancos de dados</span>, e por aí vai!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> Falando sobre Hypervisor</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Para entrar no tema que eu quero sobre virtualização, não dá pra começar sem falar de uma entidade chamada de <em>Hypervisor</em>. Este é o sujeito responsável por prover uma interface lógica entre o que vai prover um ambiente de virtualização (chamado comumente de <em>hospedeiro</em>) e o que vai ser virtualizado (chamado comumente de <em>convidado</em>). Técnicamente, é uma porção de código que é executado pelo software hospedeiro, e age como um controlador de hardware e monitor do sistema operacional do software convidado. Geralmente, nesses moldes, o sistema operacional convidado, executa sob um nível abaixo do nível do <em>Hypervisor</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A primeira figura exibe quais as camadas definidas na arquitetura de virtualização a qual estou me referindo.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-57" title="figure1" src="http://brunosimioni.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/figure1.gif" alt="figure1" width="383" height="153" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Figura 1 &#8211; Arquitetura básica da virtualização provida pelo Hypervisor.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Há dois principais modos de execução do Hypervisor. O modo nativo (portanto, <em>para virtualization</em>), e o modo abrigado (portanto, <em>full virtualization</em>).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O primeiro modo de execução, chamado abrigado (com a palavrinha mágica &#8211; <em>hosted</em>), faz com que toda a plataforma de hardware disponível ao convidado seja totalmente virtualizada. Portanto, são implementados e aplicados gatilhos e tratadores nas chamadas de sistema e instruções de máquina (instruções nativas &#8211; sistema operacional convidado não sofre nenhuma modificação) enviadas pelo sistema operacional convidado, e convertidas para as instruções de máquina e chamadas de sistema do sistema operacional hospedeiro, portanto, executadas nativamente. O resultado de tais ações é novamente convertido para o formato de retorno do sistema operacional convertido, e tudo caminha nas mil maravilhas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A figura 2 mostra um modelo esquemático de aplicação do modelo 1 do Hypervisor.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-58" title="figure2" src="http://brunosimioni.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/figure2.gif" alt="figure2" width="327" height="242" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Figura 2 &#8211; Arquitetura básica do modelo hospedado.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Definem-se como vantagens dessa abordagem, o fato sistema operacional convidado não precisa ser modificado; para este, é uma máquina física como qualquer outra. Não há custos adicionais, nem modificação no software original, reservando as características originais do sistema operacional convidado. A grande desvantagem dessa abordagem é o desempenho comprometido (em relação ao desempenho original, o que não significa que fique lento &#8211; leia-se sem condições mínimas de emprego em um ambiente corporativo de produção). A queda do desempenho dá-se pela interpretação de todas as instruções disparadas pelo hardware virtual disponível para a máquina convidada. Além disso, claro, ainda há o escalonamento de processos do sistema operacional, através de um núcleo premptivo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O segundo modo de execução, chamado nativo (com a palavrinha mágica &#8211; <em>bare-metal</em>), cria um meio termo nas coisas. Através de um núcleo de chamadas de sistema (vulgo <em>Kernel</em>, no mundo *nix) modificado, torna o sistema operacional convidado, alguém que sabe que está sendo virtualizado, mas que consegue, através desse núcleo modificado, alcançar nativamente o hardware disponível na arquitetura do sistema hospedeiro. Mágico, não?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Este novo núcleo, é então parte do <em>Hypervisor</em> (que agora é parte do sistema operacional convidado, e parte do sistema operacional hospedeiro), fazendo com que seja mais simples chegar ao hardware, e fazer algumas traduções das chamadas mais críticas do sistema.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Como vantagens da técnica, está principalmente o desempenho, tornando as coisas mais fáceis, fazendo com que não haja tradução de instruções, nem emulação de hardware. Por exemplo, se você comprou sua nova Intel® PRO/1000 GT <em>Desktop</em> <em>Adapter</em>, ele vai ser Intel no sistema hospedeiro, e Intel no sistema convidado. Na primeira abordagem, ela seria Intel no sistema hoespedeiro, e <em>Network Virtual Driver</em>, no sistema convidado. A principal desvantagem é a modificação do núcleo do sistema convidado, aumentando a probabilidade do número de falhas (por sair da árvore principal de desenvolvimento do software, e ter dedos de terceiros), incompatibilidade de padrões, aumento de custo de manutenção, e blá blá blá.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A figura 3 define um modelo esquemático de como aconteceria a implantação do segundo caso.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59" title="figure3" src="http://brunosimioni.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/figure3.gif" alt="figure3" width="334" height="257" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Figura 3 &#8211; Implantação do modelo nativo do Hypervisor.</em></p>
<p>Em relação ao modelo de virtualização de plataformas, com a presença de um <em>Hypervisor</em>, o assunto termina por aqui. Não há muito mais novidades na área.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Continuando com o assunto de virtualização, é válido dizer que o hardware x86 é particularmente difícil de virtualizar. Com essa motivação, tanto a Intel, quanto a AMD, criaram tecnologias de virtualização diretamente embutidas no processador. A Intel a chamou de Intel-VT (VanderPool), e a AMD, AMD-V (Pacifica). Tais extensões são responsáveis por adicionar capacidades que são difíceis ou ineficientes de virtualizar via software, facilitando o trabalho do pessoal que desenvolve na área.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Falando sobre implementações</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Há diversos softwares comerciais e livres que implementam este modelo de monitor de máquinas virtuais, e com a idéia geral de virutalização de plataformas, dá pra nomear algumas categorias, de forma simplificada, e alguns softwares virtualizadores, que a implementam.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">No<strong> primeiro modelo</strong>,<strong> nativo</strong>, encaixam-se nomes como VMware ESX Server, IBM System z Hypervisor, Microsoft Hyper-V, Xen, Citrix XenServer, Oracle VM Server, Parallels Server, Sun&#8217;s Logical Domains Hypervisor, e finalmente, o Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), disponível nas distribuições empresariais de Linux. Todos esses softwares permitem a virtualização do sistema operacional hospedeiro, bem como o sistema operacional convidado, exigindo a modificação de seu núcleo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Já no <strong>segundo modelo</strong>,<strong> hospedado</strong>, encaixam-se nomes como VMware Server, VMware Workstation, VMware Fusion, o projeto livre QEMU, Microsoft Virtual PC e Microsoft Virtual Server, Sun&#8217;s VirtualBox, Parallels Workstation e Parallels Desktop. Estes software virtualizam qualquer sistema opercional comum, sem a necessidade de sua modificação.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Virtualização e instâncias de sistemas operacionais</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Especificamente, o Sun Solaris e o BSD, implementam um outro modelo de virtualização de sistema operacional.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O Sun Solaris (a partir de 2005) implementa Zones, definido como um abstração virtual do sistema operaciona, onde aplicações executam. Tais aplicações são protegidas e separadas umas das outras. Através de uma única instância principal do sistema operacional, pode-se gerencial diversas Zones (como instâncias do mesmo sistema).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O uso do gerenciamento de recursos da arquitetura em questão, faz com que uma Zone seja chamada de Container, criando o conceito de Solaris Containers. A maioria das pessoas utilizam  os dois termos, sem fazer distinção entre eles.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Existem dois tipos de Zones. As Zones nativas, criam instâncias do mesmo sistema operacional (Solaris), enquanto as Branded Zones, disponibilizam uma insfra estrutura virtual de hardware, para que seja possível criar instâncias de outros sistemas operacionais, como o Linux, por exemplo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Da mesma maneira, existem os Jails (que vieram antes dos Containers, em 1990, criados a partir do FreeBSD). Jail implementa o mesmo sentido de abstração do sistema operacional, criando instâncias desse, fazendo com que haja muito mais flexibilidade do uso do sistema operacional, em um ambiente de produção.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Acredito que o uso de instâncias de sistema operacional, tenha tido como principal motivação, a flexibilidade de modelos de segurança que o *nix não conseguia prover, mas isso é um outro assunto.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Para terminar o post, volto a dizer que virtualização pode ser vista de diversas formas, e existem diversos modelos e ferramentas para implementar. Vão desde abstrações de hardware de entrada e saída, até abstrações do sistema operacional. O que vale realmente realmente,  é estudar e medir as necessidades e as disponibilidades, para que seja feita a escolha certa.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O modelo de cloud computing se encaixa em virtualizações. É um tema recente, poderoso, mas com a escolha errada, pode se tornar extremamente perigoso.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Até a próxima!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em><strong>N.B.</strong> Questa guida è per VMware Server versione 2.0.1 &#8211; 156745 su Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit</em></p>
<p>Prima di tutto scarichiamo VMware da <a href="http://www.vmware.com/go/getserver">qui</a> (occorre registrazione gratuita). In dettaglio dobbiamo scaricare i seguenti pacchetti:</p>
<p><strong>1) VMware Server 2 for Linux Operating Systems 64-bit version (TAR image)</strong></p>
<p><strong>2) 64-bit VIX API 1.6 for Linux (TAR image)</strong></p>
<p>Salviamoli nella nostra home utente.</p>
<p>Installiamo i pacchetti necessari:</p>
<blockquote><p><code>sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` &#38;&#38; sudo apt-get install make &#38;&#38; sudo apt-get install gcc</code></p></blockquote>
<p>E&#8217; necessaria una patch che possiamo scaricare da <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=94477&#38;d=1227872015">qui</a> (richiede registrazione gratuita) salvandola sempre nella home utente.</p>
<p>Scompattiamo l&#8217;archivio TAR di WMware:</p>
<blockquote><p>
<code>tar zxvf VMware-server-2.0.1-156745.x86_64.tar.gz</code></p></blockquote>
<p>Spostiamoci nella cartella scompattata:</p>
<blockquote><p><code>cd vmware-server-distrib</code></p></blockquote>
<p>Applichiamo la patch:</p>
<blockquote><p><code>sudo patch ./bin/vmware-config.pl ~/vmware-config.pl.patch.txt</code></p></blockquote>
<p>Infine installiamo VMware Server:</p>
<blockquote><p><code>sudo ./vmware-install.pl</code></p></blockquote>
<p>Rispondiamo &#8220;si&#8221; a tutte le domande, se avete esigenze diverse potete personalizzare il percorso delle macchine virtuali e i tipi di connessione (Bridget, Nat, Host-only), in generale lasciare tutto di default va benissimo.</p>
<p>Quando richiesto, inserire il codice che appare in cima alla pagina di download di VMware.</p>
<p><strong>NON dimenticate di aggiungere il vostro utente Linux</strong> come amministratore per VMware, quando viene richiesto dal setup.</p>
<p>Fatto. Per accedere all&#8217;interfaccia web di VMware:</p>
<blockquote><p><code>http://localhost:8222/</code></p></blockquote>
<p>Connessione cifrata (se appare il messaggio di certificato non sicuro ignoratelo e aggiungete pure l&#8217;eccezione in Firefox):</p>
<blockquote><p><code>https://localhost:8333/</code></p></blockquote>
<p>Buona virtualizzazione <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>wenn man einen esx server in eine andere netzwerkumgebung migrieren möchte ist es notwendig die entsprechenden netzwerkeinstellungen für ssh zu verändern. als erstes bearbeitet man die datei /etc/sysconfig/network mit einem texteditor wie nano (nano /etc/sysconfig/network) die datei hat folgenden inhalt:</p>
<blockquote><p>NETWORKING=yes<br />
HOSTNAME=esx-4<br />
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1<br />
GATEWAYDEV=vswif0<br />
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no<br />
NETWORKING_IPV6=no</p></blockquote>
<p>an dieser stelle muss man das gateway des jeweiligen netzwerks anpassen.</p>
<p>als nächstes wechselt man in das verzeichnis /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts und sucht dort den adapter über den den ssh angesprochen wird, in meinem fall ifcfg-vswif0. wir öffnen wieder die datei und bekommen folgendes zu sehen:</p>
<blockquote><p>DEVICE=vswif0<br />
HOTPLUG=yes<br />
MACADDR=00:50:56:45:7b:f2<br />
ONBOOT=yes<br />
PORTGROUP=&#8221;Service Console&#8221;<br />
BOOTPROTO=static<br />
BROADCAST=192.168.2.255<br />
DHCPV6C=no<br />
IPADDR=192.168.2.2<br />
IPV6INIT=no<br />
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no<br />
NETMASK=255.255.255.0</p></blockquote>
<p>hier können wir dann die subnetzmaske, die ip sowie den broadcast angeben.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So you&#8217;ve forgotten your VMware Linux or Windows guest password?  Here&#8217;s how to reset it.  These instructions focus on resetting the password through the Virtual Infrastructure Client, but there&#8217;s no reason you couldn&#8217;t do it using VMware Workstation or VMware Server.  </p>
<div>1. Grab a <a href="http://www.piotrbania.com/all/kon-boot">Kon-Boot .iso</a> image.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. In the Virtual Infrastructure client, configure the problematic guest&#8217;s Virtual CDROM for the Kon-boot ISO image.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3. Boot the problem guest server.  At the VMware BIOS screen, press the <em>ESC</em> key to bring up the boot menu.  Select to boot from CD-ROM.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4. When the Kon-Boot splash screen appears, press <em>Enter</em> to boot Windows.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>5. At the Windows login screen, enter administrator as the user name, with any password you&#8217;d like.  Note:  This password is not persistent!  You must set the administrator password manually!

<div>If you are trying to reset the password in Linux, the steps are the same, but instead of logging into Windows and resetting the adminstrator password, login to Linux and reset the root password.</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This is a relatively simple process that enhances the performance of the virtual machine’s guest operating system and improves the remote management of the virtual machine image. The mouse, keyboard and display functionality are significantly are more responsive and efficient.</p>
<p>To install use the VMware Infrastructure Web Access. Select the &#8216;<em>Install VMware Tools</em>&#8216; option in the status panel.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-134" title="Install VMware tools" src="http://itbod.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/screenshot082.jpg" alt="Install VMware tools" width="500" height="300" /></p>
<p>The VMware tools file is mounted on the virtual machine.</p>
<p>Go to the virtual machine and the VMware tools installation begins automatically. Click &#8216;Install&#8217; when prompted.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-135" title="Install VMware tools" src="http://itbod.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/screenshot084.jpg" alt="Install VMware tools" width="500" height="169" /></p>
<p>Click &#8216;Next&#8217; at the &#8216;Welcome&#8217; screen</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-136" title="Welcome screen" src="http://itbod.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/screenshot085.jpg" alt="Welcome screen" width="500" height="412" /></p>
<p>Depending on your requirements generally selecting the <em>Typical</em> option should be adequate but as I will be using this image on different VMware platforms I have chosen the<em> Complete</em> option.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-137" title="Setup type" src="http://itbod.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/screenshot086.jpg" alt="Setup type" width="500" height="373" /></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>We each calculate on Moore’s jurisprudence to micturate our lives easier every clip we raise to the succeeding procreation of technology systems, but we sometimes bury that there’s a Hebrew of solid occupation that goes into rising the execution of our element and software.</p>
<p>I’m book Troyer from <a href="http://www.tek-tools.com/wordpress/">VMware’s</a> VMTN Blog. For AMD’s Virtualization Ecosystem Month, I thought I’d speak about the past show investigating we’ve seen with the 45nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor (codenamed “Shanghai”) and how VMware realistic structure terminate release your applications to digest orotund benefit of your late hardware.</p>
<p>First of all, these processors are fast. Here is several noise on VMmark from our VROOM! Blog:</p>
<p>VMmark is a reference supposed to assess the show of <a href="http://www.tek-tools.com/wordpress/">virtualization</a> environments in a labor to accept customers to consider platforms. It is also reusable in studying the essence of architectural features. VMmark consists of cardinal workloads (Web, File, Database, Java, communicating and histrion servers). manifold sets of workloads (tiles) can be additional to hit the standard fill to pair the inexplicit instrumentality resources. For much message on VMmark debate here.</p>
<p>Now move a face at the VMmark Results page: a display slam of the trio actual teetotum scoring entries is shown on the right. The Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor helper 8384 is powering every of those top-scoring entries.</p>
<p>One of the reasons these Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors are so accelerating is that they take AMD’s fast <a href="http://www.tek-tools.com/wordpress/">Virtualization Indexing</a> (RVI) technology, which gives instrumentality reinforcement for MMU virtualization. We wrote a architect material display how VMware ESX takes benefit of RVI, including a 29% increment in action with Citrix XenApp; and in a past cogitate on our VROOM! blog, we showed RVI boosting.</p>

<description><![CDATA[I am fairly new to the virtualisation area of computing and have been playing with VMware Workstatio]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I am fairly new to the virtualisation area of computing and have been playing with VMware Workstation on and off for just over 3 years now. Virtualisation is an easy way to try out a new operating system, or to set up a network of computers for research and development purposes without the expense of buying additional hardware.</p>
<p>There are different vendors that supply virtualisation software for use in different operating systems or dedicated OS’s for the task like ESXi server by VMware.</p>
<p>I am going to talk about VMware Server 2 today and my experiences with it.</p>
<p>VMware Server 2 is available for Windows and Linux, I have a copy for both but I decided to install it in Linux (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS). My reasons for this were Linux is not as resource hungry as Windows is, and I find it has better system resource management which is needed to ensure the virtual machine runs well.</p>
<p>A side step to this post just to prove how well Ubuntu Linux works in terms of resource management I am going to install this on a P4 2.8ghz computer with only 1gb of ram and a 8mb graphics card. Ideally I should set up a Windows install as well on the same computer and do some performance metrics for an accurate analysis of resources but I just do not have the time at present, but may do so in the future. NOTE This will not make a suitable hardware environment when you want to start running multiple VM’s of different operating systems doing resource hungry tasks at the same time it will be ok to run 2 – 3 OS’s for demonstration and basic use.</p>
<p>The first thing I did was obtain my copy of VMware Server 2 from the VMware website <a href="http://www.vmware.com/">http://www.vmware.com</a> as we are installing this in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS 32bit we will need to get the tar.gz version for the 32bit environment. If you are using a 64bit operating system make sure you download the right version.</p>
<p>I had to download some headers for Ubuntu so VMware can compile successfully during the install process. To do this open a console and type in “<em>sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential xinetd</em>” followed by your user password.</p>
<p>Next I navigated to the location where the copy of VMware is, I put mine in /ktemp which was a folder I set up earlier.</p>
<p>Once in the location of the file I did a “ls” command just to make sure the file is there it should be named “<em>VMware-server-(version_number)</em>” where version_number is the version at the time of obtaining your copy. E.g. VMware-server-2.0.1-156745.x86_32.tar.gz</p>
<p>Next the file will need unpacking so I issued the command “<em>sudo tar zxvf VMware-server-(version_number).tar.gz</em>&#8221; this will unpack the file into some folders.</p>
<p>I change directory to the distribution folder by typing “<em>cd vmware-server-distrib</em>”</p>
<p>Then I execute the installation command “<em>sudo ./vmware-install.pl</em>”</p>
<p>This started the installation process, and prompted questions on how you want to install and configure VMware Server 2. I just accepted the default values that appear in the square brackets []. To accept the default values just press enter all the way through the install process.</p>
<p>During the install process I was prompted for my serial number which I typed in. You have to type this in capital letters with the hyphens in the right place e.g. XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</p>
<p>Ubuntu does not have a root password as such so I had to create this. I did this by issuing the command “<em>sudo passwd root</em>” and then entered in the password I wanted for root.</p>
<p>I closed any open consoles or windows, and opened up my browser. (VMware Server unlike VMware Workstation has a web interface for its control) I went to the address and port http://127.0.0.1:8222 which loaded fine and asked if I wanted to allow this content which I did so I added the exception. (Note, if your system is on a network you will be able to access the VMware Server from any computer on the network through any web browser by typing in the address of the computer it is installed/hosted on, for example if the VMware Servers IP address was 192.168.0.1 you could just type in <a href="http://192.168.0.1:8222/">http://192.168.0.1:8222</a> from a different computer.)</p>
<p>After allowing access to the address from the browser and adding any exceptions, I was presented with a log in screen. The root login that I enabled earlier is the one I need to log in with, it will not allow access with any other account unless you configure/specify that account during the install process.</p>
<p>Once logged in I was presented with the control / administration panel. From here you can begin adding new virtual machines onto the server.</p>
<p>In this control panel you can add in additional data stores (hard drives, USB hard drives etc), Create virtual machines, and various other tasks. The interface is quite self explanatory. A nice feature I like is the summary page for the server stating how much of the resources are being used but it is not a live feed you will need to refresh the page to get up to date information.</p>
<p>I installed one Windows XP Pro operating system and did the windows updates to it, and one Ubuntu server 8.10 running mySQL, and Apache, as virtual machines. Both had 8 GB of hard drive space, for Windows I gave 200mb of ram, and Ubuntu server I gave 128mb of ram. Both of these virtual machines had no problems running at the same time.</p>
<p>I used bridged networking so an IP address is picked from the DHCP server on the internal network causing no communication problems between the VM’s and the host operating system or other computers on the internal network, which was proven by all being able to ping each other and all operating systems virtual or physical on the network being able to see my virtual Ubuntu server displaying the Apache “It Works” homepage when navigating to the IP address of the Ubuntu server.</p>
<p>Other networking options are available such as local and NAT and you can change to these at any time from the control panel.</p>
<p>Overall the installation went smoothly without any problems on the way, and I can happily administer my VMware Server from anywhere on my network.</p>
<p>Any questions regarding this please get in touch with me, my contact details are available on the contacts page.</p>
<p>What have your experiences been like with VMware Server 2?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;ve been using for a while the <a target="_blank" href="http://vmware.com/products/server/">VMWare Server 2.x</a> for Linux and I&#8217;m quite happy with it. Unfortunately, this free product doesn&#8217;t offer some useful functionalities like cloning a virtual machine. It&#8217;s a pity because it&#8217;s time consuming to create all the virtual machines from scratch. </p>
<p>Fortunately, <a target="_blank" href="http://communities.vmware.com/message/1132686">cloning a virtual machine is easy process</a> but doing it manually it&#8217;s not free of error-proning. So, I created a small and simple bash script to handle this process automatically, smoothly and clean. The script, called <b>vmclone</b> (oh, I&#8217;m so original!!), is available at <a target="_blank" href="http://github.com/arturmartins/vmclone/blob/9b0c58469f487b4eaca20599f28f3a6a1612ee4d/vmclone">my github account</a> for the public to use it. </p>
<p>Let me warn you: it&#8217;s a very simple bash script that suits my needs and may not suit yours. Feel free to modify it and to send me some feedback or suggestions in order to improve it.</p>
<p>Have fun! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>After resurrecting an old VMware installation (I started with the first freely available version of VMware.. version 1) and upgrading successfully (see this <a href="http://draptik.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/ubuntu-9-04-with-vmware-server-2-0-1-156745/">post</a>), I was not able to update Vmware Tools within my guest OS (Windows XP SP3). I tried the automatic update option as well as the interactive update option. Both resulted in Visual Studio&#8217;s JIT (Just-In-Time) Debugger complaining and aborting the upgrade (on the guest OS).</p>
<p><strong>Solution</strong>: Within the guest OS (WindowsXP in my case), uninstall VMware Tools and restart the guest OS. After restarting the guest OS the VMware UI &#8220;VMware Tools&#8221;-section will have changed from &#8220;Upgrade VMware Tools&#8221; to &#8220;Install VMware Tools&#8221;. Clicking the latter installed a fresh version of VMware tools without any problems.</p>
<p>This worked with VMware-server-2.0.1-156745 in combination with host OS Ubuntu 9.04 and guest OS Windows XP SP3.</p>

</div>
</div>
<p>I just updated my Hardy Kubuntu system to Jaunty 9.04 &#8211; everything went pretty smooth, except for getting my VMWare server installation to work again.   For <a href="http://cookingandcoding.wordpress.com/2009/02/05/virtualbox-vs-vmware-server-on-linux/">various reasons</a>, I use VMWare server 1.0 (mostly because I need to boot a windows partition which is not supported under VMWare server 2, plus the web interface sucks).  So, I was able to do the system update fine, and the first time I tried to start VMWare, it figured out there was a new kernel version and asked to recompile all the modules.  The configuration process went fine, but when I wen to start vmware, I would get the following error:</p>
<pre style="border:1px dashed #999999;overflow:auto;font-family:Andale Mono,Lucida Console,Monaco,fixed,monospace;color:#000000;background-color:#eeeeee;font-size:12px;line-height:14px;width:95%;padding:5px;"><code>/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_thread_gettime
</code></pre>
<p>Really annoying!  So, after some googling, came across a few Ubuntu forum threads where peopel were running into the same error, except they were running 8.10 64 bit systems.  Figured their fix was worth a shot, and lo-and-behold, it worked.  Here&#8217;s the process I followed:</p>
<p><strong>Step 1: Download the latest 1.09 version<br />
</strong>You can find it <a href="http://www.vmware.com/download/server/">here</a>.  Download and run the install script.  However, when it asks you to run the configuration, select &#8216;no&#8217;.  The installer will then quit.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2: Download and install kernel patch<br />
</strong>You can find the patch <a href="http://www.insecure.ws/2008/10/20/vmware-specific-specific-55x-and-kernel-2627">here</a>.  Now, un-tar and run the installer script &#8216;runme.pl&#8217; as sudo.  Now, when the patch asks you to run the configuration for VMWare server, select &#8216;yes&#8217; and continue.  The configuration script should compile and install all the modules (though I ran into quite a few warnings).  Now, if you tried to run VMWare, you&#8217;d still get the &#8216;g_thread_gettime&#8217; error, so, you need to start VMWare in a special way.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3: Start VMWare<br />
</strong>Now, to finally get everything running, you&#8217;ll need to run this command:</p>
<pre style="border:1px dashed #999999;overflow:auto;font-family:Andale Mono,Lucida Console,Monaco,fixed,monospace;color:#000000;background-color:#eeeeee;font-size:12px;line-height:14px;width:95%;padding:5px;"><code>VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK="force" vmware
</code></pre>
<p>This will tell VMWare to use the correct version of the GIO lib and thus will get you running with no problems.</p>
<p><strong>Update: Step 4<br />
</strong>The final step, which I discovered after a few days, is to reset the defaul keyboard mapping for VMWare.  You&#8217;ll need to do this if you notice your arrow or function keys are not responding correctly.  To fix this, simply enter the following command into the terminal:</p>
<pre style="border:1px dashed #999999;overflow:auto;font-family:Andale Mono,Lucida Console,Monaco,fixed,monospace;color:#000000;background-color:#eeeeee;font-size:12px;line-height:14px;padding:5px;"><code>echo xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true &#62; ~/.vmware/config</code></pre>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Últimamente llegan visitas, preguntando por la instalación de VMware Server  en mandriva, por un post que <a href="http://insanecrew.wordpress.com/2008/11/01/vmware-server-107-en-mandriva-2009/">publiqué hace meses</a>, intentando instalar  VMware Server en el portátil a pocos días de la liberación de MDV 2009. <strong><em>Ese post está desactualizado y no está completo</em></strong>,  en la actualización del servidor casero con MDV 2008 a MDV 2009 desde cero, seguí el tutorial de <a href="http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-vmware-server-2-on-a-mandriva-2009.0-desktop">falko en howtoforge</a> que me funcionó perfectamente.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La licencia de ese tutorial no está muy clara, por lo que vamos a hacer una traducción-inspiración-libre habiendo citado las fuentes.</p>
<ul>
<li>Primero  es necesario saber el kernel que estamos usando para instalar las dependencias<br />
<code>[root@corsario ~]# uname -r<br />
2.6.29-desktop586-0.rc6.1.1mnb</code></li>
<li>Instalación de las dependencias: desde la linea de comandos o desde el <a href="http://www.thepenguincult.com/images/blog_images/mcc_1.jpg">centro de control de Mandriva </a><code><br />
[root@corsario ~]#  urpmi kernel-source kernel-desktop586-devel xinetd perl-devel gcc gcc-c++<br />
</code> Es MUY importante que los paquetes kernel-source y kernel-desktop586-devel coincidan con el kernel que tenemos instalado.</li>
<li>Nos bajamos el producto desde la <a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/server/">Web de VMware</a> , sí, tendremos que registrarnos pero no es para tanto, descargamos VMware Server 2 para Linux ( OJO descarga el tar no el rpm)</li>
<li>Como root descomprimimos el paquete y ejecutamos el instalador<br />
tar xvfz VMware-server-*.tar.gz<br />
cd vmware-server-distrib<br />
./vmware-install.pl</li>
<li>El instalador hace algunas preguntas, ( ninguna demasiado incomoda), para saber más es el momento de acercarnos a blogdrake y al <a href="http://blogdrake.net/node/5628">manual de Sinner </a>que las explica &#8220;ferpectamente&#8221;</li>
<li>Una vez terminado podemos acceder vía http http://tuip:8222 o https  http://tuip:8333 a nuestro flamante vmware server y empezar a jugetear con él.</li>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>因為測試需要, 這幾天一直重複的安裝 ESX / VMware Server for linux, 原因是廠商送來一個 SCSI 的裝置, 相容性不太好, 底端的 OS 有些認不出來這片網卡, 所以嘗試了好幾種不同的 OS 最後才用 Ubuntu 8.1.0 Server + Vmware server 2.0 for linux 作為測試平台.</p>
<p>安裝時可以請<a href="http://blog.ntut.idv.tw/2008/07/los-ubuntu-server-8041-install-vmware.html">參考這一篇文章</a>, 我就利用 4wei 兄的安裝法來製作,</p>
<p>首先安裝好 Ubuntu 8.1.0 Server, 記得 SSH OpenServer 選項要打勾, 方便未來用 Putty 連線登入; 由於系統不允許使用 root 登入, 所以必須要使用安裝時所建立的使用者登入, 然後切換 root 的權限來更新 (sudo command)</p>
<p>$ sudo apt-get update<br />
	(default 安裝起來沒有更新清單, 所以先下載回來)<br />
$ sudo aptitude install build-essential xinetd<br />
$ sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/aliases</p>
<p>#alias net-pf-10 ipv6<br />
alias net-pf-10 off</p>
<p>$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential<br />
$sudo reboot</p>
<p>重新開機後把 Vmware server 2.0 upload 到 Server 上, 連線進入主機上傳程式的路徑, 執行</p>
<p>$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl</p>
<p>參數大多數使用 default 就可以, 唯一的是 VMWare server 2.0 需要序號, 這個序號可以在 www.vmware.com 免費取得, 其實 Download 程式時就會要求註冊, 所以就依照該網站的指示註冊一個帳號.</p>
<p>完成後就可以利用 Browser 輸入 http://yourip:8222 登入建置VM (會指向到 https//yourip:8333, 如果完全依照 Default 值)</p>
