You only need to register at the vmvare website. After registration, a free serial number will be provided to the VMware Server during the download process.

 

VMware Server is managed through web pages, so Tomcat is installed. During installation, two ports are started: 8222 (corresponding to HTTP) and 8333 (https ).

 

Access through two Protocols during management:

Http: // localhost: 8222/UI

Https: // localhost: 8333/UI

 

After entering the address in IE, you can see the interface, prompting you to enter the user name and password of the operating system.

 

 

 

 

 

VMware Server 2.0 also provides the following new features:

1) new console tool: the console tool of VI web access is a browser program that runs in an independent browser window across platforms. This console tool has some nice features, including redirecting a local medium (such as a CD-ROM) to a sub-virtual machine. The console displays also have some dynamic resolution adjustments, including full screen support. The number shown in the figure below shows the status of sub-virtual machines in the new console.

2) support for USB 2.0 Devices

3) Add a hot Disk: You can add an extra hard drive to a running Virtual Machine.

4) new programming features: The VMCI slot interface and vix api allow direct programming and script execution on VMware Server.

5) increased hardware Capacity: Up to 8 GB of memory can be allocated to virtual machines. Supports enhanced 64-bit processes.

 

 

Note that you must first create a datastore when using VM server to create a virtual machine. This is used to specify the location where the new virtual machine is stored, and only files in this directory can be separated.
