VMWare installation on CentOS 5.0 / Fedora Core6
vmmod might not build on the above OS. Both 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 exits with errors when running vmware-config.pl. Fortunately, an easy fix is available on FedoraForum:Install the VMware Server rpm by a "rpm -ivh VMWa....."
Download the "vmware-any-any-update107.tar.gz" from http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/
Unpack the update and apply it by running rumme.pl
Vmware ocfs2 with vmdk files
Drop to a shell and create a vmdk file. To get a shell from ESXi, hit "Alt-F1" on the console and then enter "unsupported".vmware-vdiskmanager -c -s 8Gb -a
On each of the guest, create a new SCSI controller and select "Virtual" type. This allows the file being opened by multiple guests. Then Create a new drive and reference the formatted vmdk file. Choose "Independent" and "persistent". Then proceed to ocfs2 creation.
