Use vmwarevm to migrate existing servers and networks (6)

3-2 upload the pre-migration server hard disk to the server console

Start the NetWare server by referring to the "upload from the 2-3 ghost Console (upload the pre-migration server to the ghost server)" section, upload the entire hard disk on the NetWare server to the ghost console and save the file name Netware. gho, 11.

Figure 11 transfer completed
After the upload is complete, continue the following task.
3-3 create a Netware 3.2 VM in VMware gsx Server 4.1
Create a virtual machine named NetWare 4 in the Virtual Machine of VMware gsx Server 3.2. Note the following when creating a VM:
① Use custom to create a custom image.
② Select "Novell Netware" and "NetWare 4" in "select a guest operating system ".
③ Specify the startup account in "startup/shutdown options.
④ Allocate 64 MB of memory to the VM.
⑤ Use "bridge network ".
⑥ Create an "ide" interface hard disk and select "allocate all disk space now" when creating the hard disk, as shown in Figure 12.

Figure 12 allocate space now
3-4 send the NetWare image to the VM from the server console
In the VM created in the previous section, use the image file "Disk 1 and Disk 2 of the VM" as the soft drive to start the VM, refer to the "2-4 ghost console distribution-distribute the pre-migration server image to the Virtual Machine)" section, the name "Netware. the gho image file is distributed to the VM created in the previous section.
During the distribution process, select the default value during hard disk partition selection and creation, as shown in Figure 13.

Figure 13 partition a disk
After the distribution is complete, remove the "VM Disk 2" from the VM configuration and continue the following tasks.
[Note] for NetWare virtual machines, select "vlance" when selecting the attributes of the Virtual Machine Nic ". For Windows NT and Windows 2000 virtual machines, you must select "vlance" when using "Virtual Machine 1 and 2" to start them ", after distributing Windows NT (or other Windows systems), we can change the NIC attribute to "vmxnet" before entering these virtual machines ", in this way, you can implement a gigabit Nic In a Windows Virtual Machine to increase the speed.

In VMware's dos and Netware virtual machines, if the physical host has only one CPU (and does not support hyper-threading), the virtual machine will occupy nearly 100% of the host's CPU. If there are two CPUs (or hyper-threading supported) on the physical host, the host occupies nearly 50% of the CPU. We need to install VMware Tools in the NetWare Virtual Machine to solve this problem.
