We have just published a modified Howto for VMWare SME 7 Guest on a Centos 4.3 host.
We ran into problems with time drift.
It was essential that the time was accurate on this guest machine.

Make tools start on reboot:

Code: [Select]
   * ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc7.d/S19vmware-tools
    * /sbin/e-smith/db configuration set vmware-tools service status enabled
    * /sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
    * /sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot
Regards,
William

IF I give advise.. It's only if it was me....

I've considered on many occasions to try running multiple instances of SME in a vmserver environment.  Do you mind sharing your design/concept for this deployment?

Thanks.
