How To Run VMware Server On Windows Home Server 2011

V1A

Introduction

In the last 10 years our technology has moved towards “Greener” ways of reducing how many physical machines that run our different services and applications, Virtualization has become one of the number 1 ways of accomplishing that goal. Imagine having 40 to 50 “Virtual Servers or workstations” running on just one Physical Server which tremendously reduces the power consumption and output of running those 40 to 50 services and applications on separate physical machines. Now granted, you will not be able to run that many Virtual appliances on a Windows Home Server 2011 Platform; however you will still be able to get a few running within your Home Server Environment.

We will be installing a free Virtual appliance called VMware Server onto our Windows Home Server 2011. Even through Microsoft has there own Virtual Server application called Hyper-V, VMware is by far the forerunner of leading Virtual Technology today. Having started in 1998 with their Hypervisor and GSX platforms they have gone on to be the number 1 choice by most Government and Private Industries. VMware Server is VMware’s free Virtual Platform that was released initially back in July of 2006 with Version 1.0 as a way of having the consumers (preferably the Enterprise consumers) try it on a smaller scale so they would hopefully of course buy the even more robust platform. As of June 30, 2011 VMware no longer supports the VMware Server application and the last version released was in October of 2009 with Version 2.0.2. so the only support you maybe able to find will maybe be in the VMware support forums. That being said this is still a very useful application that runs a variety of different Operating systems with virtually all of the Windows Operating Systems up to and including Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Home Server 2011. This can also support Linux, Solaris (Unix), and even unofficially the MAC OS 10.

Disclaimer
The How to information is intended as a guide or helping resource to those who are doing a VMware Server 2 Installation. There is no 100% guarantee that this will install correctly the 1st time installing the VMware Server Virtual appliance. I assume no responsibility for any consequences of the install and the user will assume the full risk of any adverse effects of a bad installation. It is recommended backing up your Windows Home Server 2011 before beginning the installation.

Guest Operating Systems Legality

It is the responsibility of the user to obtain the the legal licenses and genuine copies of any operating system that is used for the Virtual Machine on the Virtual Server. Yes, even if the OS is not being installed on a physical machine the same legal rights do apply.

Prerequisites Needed

– Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor or Remote Desktop

– PC/Server that has a minimum of a Pentium Dual Core or AMD equivalent processor with at least 4GB of system memory

– VMware Server 2 Install Executable (This can be obtained at http://downloads.vmw…CpiZCVqdGJkZWRq , The Software is free however you will need to Register to Download it). Insure it is the Windows Installer and not the Linux install package.

– Insure Your Windows Home Server has a static IP

Installation Instructions

1) Double Click the executable and wait approximately 1 to 2 minutes for it to unpackage.

V2

2) When you see the VMware Server Welcome startup screen click “Next”

V3

3) Accept the License agreement and click “Next”

We’re thrilled to have the privilege and opportunity to launch it worldwide with Samsung first.”

ExpressCache intelligent SSD caching technology is licensed to OEMs to provide PC users with significant reduction in boot times and lightning fast launches of application and frequently accessed data files.

“With the Series 7 GAMER we have delivered a notebook PC offering the ultimate performance and incredible gaming features,” said Kyuho Uhm, Senior Vice President of the IT Solutions Business at Samsung Electronics. “The market for specialized gaming products is extremely discerning, so it is a challenge to provide a gaming notebook PC that can compete with desktop PCs. Despite all the challenges, we have created a product of the highest standard that appeals directly to gamers’ true passions, which can be met at the turn of a dial to deliver optimum performance for a wide variety of different activities.”
