Topic: VMWARE workstation on SME 6.0.1 - Part 3 - VMware install

[organetic]

Download and install the following file:

VMware-workstation-4.5.1-7568.i386.rpm

them, just configure it using the following command:

# vmware-config.pl

When it say that "None of VMware Workstation's pre-buit modules..." just hit Enter.
Do the same when it asks for the location of the "C headers that match your running kernel"

wait for a while, them configure the network as follows:

When it asks if you want networking for your virtual machines type "yes" and hit "enter"

If it says that "Your computer has multiple ethernet ... etc..." type "eth0" and hit "Enter"

Then, just say type "no" when it asks if you want to configure another bridged network.

Do the same when it asks if you want to enable NAT, host-only networking and accessing the host's filesystem.

This is it. The virtual machine that you'll create in VMware will now be connected to the local network of the SME server machine, just like any "common" machine in the network.

Now just start X-Windows, open a terminal console and type vmware

Create the virtual machine (don't forget that you need a serial number for VMware, please don't ask me for this) and use it just as a normal computer.

Now, add this virtual machine to your SME domain or workgroup. The network between machines will work great.

At least just until you reboot...

I need your help fixing this. In my case, the virtual machine is a XP added to the domain created in SME.

Best regards,

Hi,

This is what i'm looking for! Great, i can't wait to test this.

Only thing is, the download link for SME 6.0.1 doesn't work.  

I want to setup a SUS (or WUS) server in VMWare on the SME box.

Vmware GSX server can be installed with the Dev tools and XFree86-libs. No need to install X.

GSX server can start/stop v-machines on reboot.

I've tried to install workstation 4.5 on linux mandrake 10 but when I tried to run vmware-config.pl I got:
----------------------------------------------------
[root@localhost bin]# vmware-config.pl
Making sure VMware Workstation's services are stopped.

Stopping VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor [ OK ]

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

thank you for any help !
