VMware on OpenSuSE 11

What is a Virtual Machine server

A Virtual Machine (VM) is software running on a server with limited resources allocated to the software. The software can be running a dedicated application or an entire operating system. The Virtual Machine is designed to be shared over the network in order to gain optimal use. The biggest benefit in running a Virtual Machine is he ability to run mutably servers on one box; thus, saving the company money.

Needed application

The applications I will use are VMware

The operating system is OpenSuSe 11

 

 

Getting the Virtual Machine or VMware

Make an account at VMware and download the server--it is free.

Download your virtual server from http://www.vmware.com/download/

Pre configuer on OpenSuSe 11

Run the updates. I just like to have an up to date system before starting. If you have update the kernel and have not rebooted please do so. Run the following command in order to install all the needed application to install the Virtual Machine server.

yast --install gcc ; yast --install make ; yast --install kerel-source

Installing the Virtual Machine application on Linux

rpm -i VMware-server-2.0.1-156745.i386.rpm

Configurating the Virtual Machine

To configuration Vmware you need to type

/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl

When installing I use all the defaults.

If you are running Iptables you will need to open the ports

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8333 -j ACCEPT

 

Connecting to the VM server console.

You should be able to see your site now at Https:// Server Name :8333
