VMWare on New SME 8 Server
Bud:
vpurger thanks for your input
well i still seem to be having problems with installing vmware 1
it worked great for me on SME 7.5
do you guys recommend VirtualBox as an alternative or another product(s) ?
any help greatly appreciated
Stefano:
Bud..
you should tell us more..
I mean.. if you need SME and windows and/or other virtual machines, I would change point of view: I would install something like vmware esxi5 or proxmox on the bare metal and the virtualize SME, windows, ecc..
I never used virtualbox on SME, I'm currently using it only on my laptop (ubuntu 10.04) and it simply works.

Hi Bud
I have a SME8 32 bit with Vmware 1.0.10 installed; as far as I can remeber I had to install kernel-headers & kernel-devel too to have Vmware correctly compiled.
Not sure this can be related to Your problem.
Take care of this http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1009966 after configuration.
Bye
Nicola
Bud:
vpurger, nicolatiana thank you very much for your assistance
Stefano thanks for your input, Proxmox - very interesting will have a look at that.
Just to inform you i have installed VMWare Version 2 and all seems fine.
thanks again team, much appreciated

I am running SME8 with the latest Proxmox and i am not having any issues.
I do miss having SME8 on metal with two drives in Raid 1 mode.
It is just going to force me to do a better job of backing up, but it will provide a great test situation for multiple oses on one piece of equipment. But all production on main like duties is on metal raid 1.
From what i have read lately from many different internet sources. If you are going to be serious about running virtual machines on a Centos os. Then Centos 6 is the version for that compared to Centos 5, which SME8 is based on. What i understand is that there have been substantial advancements and if you want to make use of a SSD. Trim is suppose to be supported, but there are newer Intel SSD drives that are doing a better job to garbage collection, if you give the drive a small amount of idle time.
