Title: SME 7 + VMWare server
Post by: eiceic on July 24, 2006, 06:57:29 AM

I followed this HowTo document on SME 7 final and everything appeared to install OK

http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/How-To%20install%20VMware%20free%20server%20on%20a%20SME%207.0%20Host

In Step 7), it says  "Client packages can be downloaded from the same place as the server.", but I don't see any reference to a Client package on this page...( http://www.vmware.com/products/server/ )  Do I need a client package if I already have VMWare Workstation?"

Pardon my ignorance, but I've never used a VMware server before, just VMware workstation and I'm looking for a tip on how to connect to the virtual server and set up new virtual PCs.

Thanks,

Chris  Buechler

I think the link you are looking for is this:

http://register.vmware.com/content/download.html

Here you will find the console (VMware Server Windows client package) so you can access your virtual server and set up new virtual pc's.

I just wrote a reply about the differences between Workstation and Server and how the Console and MUI relate to it. Plus a little story of how I crashed my SME twice while running 4 VMs (CPU utilization was redlining - still had memory to spare).

However, clicking Submit took me back to a login screen and all was gone.

Anyway, VMware have some good docs and forums for this stuff.
