VmwareServer2安装笔记

 

注册vmware帐号

• 如果你想要安装Vmware Server 1.0,直接下载安装就行了。不过2.0安装的时候需要license，所以需要注册一下，当然都是免费的。
• 访问 https://www.vmware.com/freedownload/login.php?product=server20 系统会提示你注册，按他的要求注册好，登录进去，你会看到一个下载页面，上面列出了两个licensing，后面用得到。

    * Licensing
# 不好意思我隐掉10位
VMware Server 2 for Windows 	AA00W-xxxxx-V274J-xxxxx
VMware Server 2 for Linux 	A050E-xxxxx-U4Q3P-xxxxx

下载软件包

• 接下来在同一页面下面的下载列表里找到需要的安装包，我是安装在CentOS5_x64下的，所以选用下面这个

VMware Server 2 for Linux Operating Systems 64-bit version.
Version 2.0.1 | 156745 - 03/31/09	
434 MB RPM image md5sum: 697a792c70d50e98a347c06b323bd20b(¹)

• 软件包不小，会花一些时间下载。

rpm安装

rpm -ivh VMware-server-2.0.1-156745.x86_64.rpm
# 装好以后提示执行/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl配置

执行/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl进行初始配置

/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
[root@YCent5[0]~13:16:40]# /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl

管理Vmware Server

• 创建新的虚拟机
• 编辑当前的虚拟机

一个很不爽的事情

• 为了装64位的虚拟机，专门找了一台64位的主机，结果主机上成功安装上了CentOS5.3_x86_64，然后装了相应版本的Vmware Server，不过当我试图尝试安装一台同样64位的虚拟机时，安装界面报错（虚拟机中），“Your CPU does not support long mode. Use a 32bit distribution”，这个结果让我非常不爽。上网查了一下，说是修改BIOS里的Inter Virtualization Technology设置为ENABLE就可以了。如果没有这种VT选项，可能芯片就不支持VT，那就够呛了。http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1901 这个地方可以看到比较详细的介绍，特别对于intel的芯片，直接访问http://compare.intel.com/PCC/intro.aspx查看是否支持也可以。我的CPU经过达人RX检查，说是不支持VT，我也就死心了。

一次冒险的操作

• 这里给大家讲一个我自己的错误故事，我曾经希望在我的Server上装VMware Server做vm服务器，同时还想尝试一下OpenVZ，这是另一种虚拟方式，不是单单软件实现的，和Xen类似，都要安装专用的Linux内核来工作。于是我安装好了OpenVZ内核，重启grub选用Openvz的启动，结果启动时发现一篇红色的Fail，这些fail来自VMware自动启动。显然，一个明显的冲突信号给了我。我重新进入原有的CentOS内核，VMware启动还是失败，不过这次没有那么多的错误了，错误提示我执行/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl进行配置，我执行的时候发现下面这个提示

Thank you.

This program previously created the file /dev/vmnet0, and was about to remove it.  Somebody else apparently did it already.

You have already setup networking.
Would you like to skip networking setup and keep your old settings as they are?
(yes/no) [yes]

• 不用说，肯定是OpenVZ干的好事。还好修复过程比较顺利，一路回车过去就好了。看来还是想当然了，以为两种层面上的实现不会有冲突，结果冲突得厉害。顺便说一下最终的解决方案，其实很傻，就是用vm，然后在一台虚拟机上再装ovz内核做虚拟化。
• 结合前面一个问题的讨论，我就不得不面临一种妥协，要么放弃64位的OpenVZ Server计划，因为我不能弄出来一个这样的虚拟机，要么完全改变目前架构，真机上用OpenVZ，里面再跑VMware。最终因为网络分配的关系（这个不是技术问题，是实际情况问题），我采用了简单的前者。
