VMware server antics: openSUSE 11.2 i.e. new kernels…
Apparently it is hard to keep up with kernel developments. VMware has problems. Latest one does not work with openSUSE 11.2 kernel (and Ubuntu kernels, and other kernels). I guess that’s the difference between supporting enterprise versions (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, SLES, RHEL) and not the newer (not to say leading edge) distributions (Ubuntu > 8.04, Fedora, openSUSE). Oh well… I ran into this again. Found a solution again… http://radu.cotescu.com/2010/01/19/how-to-install-vmware-server-ubuntu-fedora-opensuse/. Thanks, Radu./
Command line antics for VMware Server…
something in my vmware server setup at home is malfunctioning – I cannot
reliably get to the web interface. There used to be a command line interface,
but they totally changed that between VM server 1.0 and 2.0….
… but it is there: so here, for my memory and your enlightenment, what I
succeeded in doing:
sudo vmware-vimsh -r -e “hostsvc/connect localhost 902; hostsvc/login; ”
(you need to do this as root, since it uses an SSL key that is stored in a
root-only directory under /etc/vmware)
You now are at some sort of shell. Documentation is at
http://www.vi-toolkit.com/wiki/index.php/Vimsh
I wanted to create a snapshot of one of my VMs. So:
[/]$ hostsvc/login vilhuber XXXXXXX
[/]$ vmsvc/snapshot.create
Insufficient arguments.
Usage: snapshot.create vmid [snapshotName] [snapshotDescription] [includeMemory]
[quiesced]
Creates a snapshot for the vm.
[/]$ vmsvc/getallvms
[/]$ vmsvc/snapshot.create 256
Create Snapshot:
[/]$ vmsvc/message 256
No message.
[/]$ vmsvc/get.snapshotinfo 256
(vim.vm.SnapshotInfo) {
dynamicType = <unset>,
currentSnapshot = 'vim.vm.Snapshot:256-snapshot-14',
rootSnapshotList = (vim.vm.SnapshotTree) [
(vim.vm.SnapshotTree) {
dynamicType = <unset>,
snapshot = 'vim.vm.Snapshot:256-snapshot-14',
vm = 'vim.VirtualMachine:256',
name = "VMware Server Undopoint",
description = "",
createTime = "2010-01-29T14:07:42.280165-05:00",
state = "poweredOff",
quiesced = false,
backupManifest = <unset>,
replaySupported = false,
}
],
}
Review and conclusion: E72…
Coming soon.
