How to import a vmdk file - Wed, 02 Jul 2008
Hi VMWare lovers,
I hav a harddrive which I have turned into a VMDK file using ghost 14.
There is no way for me to get the PC hardware, only the harddrive is
available, so no good putting it into hardware and expecting it to
boot. I have esx 3.5, Vitrual Centre Server and VMWare server, but
can't for the life of me work out how to get a vmdk file as a virtual
How can I specify a VM to use only 1 of 2 network adapters available on the host - Sun, 29 Jun 2008
I'm running a Win XP Virtual Machine image on a Win XP host machine.
The XP host has two physical network adapters (USB and PCI) connected
to two different networks.
The USB network adapter is connected to a wireless network.
The PCI network adapter is connected directly to a different wired
network.
Virtual machine "Who am I?" - Fri, 27 Jun 2008
How can a virtual machine (software on the guest machine) determine
what its vmware guest name is? That is, if I have a machine named
"master" and I clone it to "slave", can the two virtual machines
determine their names? I've looked at vmware tools and and the vix
API, and have poked around in /proc, /sys, and the the filesystem.

Resizing new extent in ESX later than it has been added to VMFS-3 data volume - Wed, 25 Jun 2008
HI,
I'm beginner in virtualization and VMWARE.
I have a problem.
I added new extent in ESX Server 3.5, by Virtual Infraestructure
Client. The new extent was formatted with VMFS-3. The problem is that
I have increased the capacity of the vmhba later.
Then, ESX views the new capacity, but ESX doesn't view the new free

Re: How to import a vmdk file - Wed, 02 Jul 2008
assuming when converted it's converted into an esx compatible
format(i.e. no ide disks etc..)
copy the vmdk to /vmimages (or another ext3 filesystem) then
vmkfstools -i converted.vmdk
/vmfs/volumes/vmfsvolume/newes xcompatible.vmdk
this will convert it to the proper mvfs3 filesystem format.. then

Re: How can I specify a VM to use only 1 of 2 network adapters available on the host - Tue, 01 Jul 2008
It's obviously not ESX, but could be either VMware Virtual Server/
Workstation...
btw, for network connections you use dhcp or manually configured
settings?
Re: VMware Workstation inside a virtual machine - Mon, 30 Jun 2008
If you want to test two instances of ESX each with its own set of VMs I'm
afraid you need two servers to run them on. You can't nest virtualisation
technologies.

Which variant of VMware are you using? It can't be ESX as you say the
host machine runs XP.

Re: Compatible VMs (VMwareServer 2 beta -> VMwareServer 1.x) - Fri, 27 Jun 2008
When you create a VM in Server 2 you're given the choice of using a
format compatible with previous versions or the latest format that Server
1 can't cope with.
So it's entirely down to how the VM was created.
