一直以来都是在用ESXi和Vsphere以及在windows桌面使用的Workstation对于VMware-server没什么研究,前几天由于原来在用Vsphere服务器Q6600的CPU被征用了,结果换成了E2180,没办法就该装VMware-server了。Windows下怎么安装软件就不用说了,主要介绍一下Linux下安装VMware-server。
阳光是CentOS5.3的系统。安装好了除SSH和network服务外其他都禁止,RehHat 和Fedora的安装方式和CentOS一样,其他系统 如Ubuntu安装方式可能有些许不同,另外阳光是用自己的应用环境来安装的。大家可以在vmware官方网站下载到vmware-server的最新版。
使用rpm命令安装VMwrea-server
安装需要root帐号,
开始安装
rpm -ivh VMware-server-2.0.1-156745.i386.rpm

完成后在浏览器里面用http://IP:8222或者https://IP:8333
其实就算用http://IP:8222也会转到https://IP:8333的
到此Linux下的VMware-server安装就算完成了

Do not enough moneyeed.
@dreaft-online
免费的东西还是可以用用的
What do you m
没怎么用过SERVER一直用Workstation的
Workstation也有Linux版的,Linux下面就是省点资源不是
虚拟机还不错
