What's New in Version 1.0
VMware Server 1.0 is a free virtualization product for Microsoft Windows and
Linux servers that enables you to provision new server capacity by partitioning
a physical server into multiple virtual machines.
VMware Server 1.0 includes: Support for 32-bit and 64-bit Operating Systems
* Full support for SUSE Linux 10.1 as host and guest operating systems.
* Full support for 32-bit Ubuntu 6.x as host and guest operating systems.
* Full support for 32-bit Sun Solaris 10.x as guest operating systems.
* Full support for 32-bit and 64-bit FreeBSD 6.0 as guest operating
systems.
* Experimental support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 Update 8 and Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 Update 4.
* Experimental support for 64-bit Ubuntu 6.x as host and guest operating
systems.
* Experimental support for 64-bit Sun Solaris 10.x as guest operating
systems.
* Experimental support for 32-bit and 64-bit FreeBSD 6.0 as guest operating
systems.
* Experimental support for SUSE Linux 10.1 as host and guest operating
systems.
* Support for all guest operating systems supported by WorkStation 5.5.
* Support for all host operating systems supported by VMware Server GSX
3.2.
New Key Features
* Support for taking and reverting to snapshots in the background.
* Experimental support for two-way Virtual Symmetric Multiprocessing
(Virtual SMP). This lets you assign two virtual processors to a virtual machine
on any host machine that has at least two logical processors.
* Support for using and upgrading legacy virtual machines.
* Ability to configure virtual hardware devices, including serial and
parallel ports, DVD/CD-ROM drives, floppy drives, and sound drivers (Linux
only) to be automatically detected.
Other VMware Products Supported by VMware Server
* Support for using the VMware Server Console to connect to and configure
VMware GSX Server 3 hosts as well as to run virtual machines on VMware GSX
Server 3 hosts.
* Support for VirtualCenter version 1.4 to manage virtual machines running
on VMware Server.
* Support for VMware Virtual Machine Importer version 1.5 to import virtual
machines from Microsoft Virtual Server and Virtual PC as well as Symantec
LiveState recovery system images.
* Support for VMware DiskMount Utility to mount a Microsoft Windows host
file system as a separate drive without connecting to the virtual disk from
within a virtual machine.
VMware APIs included with VMware Server
* The Programming API (previously called C API).
* The VmCOM API (Windows hosts only).
* The VmPerl API.
For more detailed information about the features included in VMware Server 1.0,
see the VMware Server Virtual Machine Guide. Review the Known Issues section
for additional information.
Technical Document References
* For information about how to install, configure, and manage VMware
Server, see the VMware Server Administration Guide.
* For information about how to create and manage virtual machines on VMware
Server, see the VMware Server Virtual Machine Guide.
* For information on the VMware Virtual Machine Importer, see the VMware
Virtual Machine Importer User's Manual.
* For information about how to install the supported guest operating
systems, see the Guest Operating System Installation Guide.
Getting Started
Installing on a Computer with a Different VMware Product
VMware Server cannot be installed on the same host as VMware Workstation,
VMware GSX Server, VMware Player, or VMware ACE. You cannot have multiple
versions of VMware Server installed on the same host. Uninstall these VMware
products before you install VMware Server. On a Windows host, use the
Add/Remove Programs control panel. On a Linux host, see your product manual for
the commands needed to uninstall the product.
Creating Virtual Machines
You can create new virtual machines in VMware Server and use VirtualCenter 1.4
to manage them. VMware Server creates virtual machines that are compatible with
VMware Workstation 5.x. You must use the VMware Server Console to create and
configure virtual machines. You cannot create and configure virtual machines
using the VMware Management Interface.
Note: When you create a new virtual machine, the wizard offers options for
64-bit versions of some guest operating systems. To determine whether your host
computer can support a 64-bit guest, see VMware knowledge base article 1901.
Using VMware Virtual Machine Importer
This product lets you import virtual machines from Microsoft Virtual Server and
Virtual PC as well as Symantec LiveState recovery system images. To access the
VMware Virtual Machine Importer from the VMware Server Console, choose either
File > Import or File > Open. You can access the VMware Virtual Machine
File > Importer only from the host machine.
Installing Guest Operating Systems
VMware Server supports guest operating systems supported by VMware Workstation
5.5 as well as other guest operating systems. For a list of supported guest
operating systems and information about how to install them, see the Guest
Operating System Installation Guide. You can also use virtual appliances
downloaded from the VMware Technology Network Virtual Appliances Center.
Installing VMware Tools
It is recommended to install VMware Tools (VM > Install VMware Tools) for
enhanced performance of guest operating systems.
Installing the VMware APIs
VMware Server supports the VMware scripting APIs and the Programming API
(previously called C API). The scripting APIs include the VmCOM API (Windows
hosts only) and the VmPerl API.You can install the APIs on any client machine.
For more information about the VMware APIs, go to
www.vmware.com/support/developer/.
