Top vmware-server frequently asked interview questions
Can anyone point me to some documentation about how I can use an Iso to create a Vmware environment.
For instance, there's this guy who made his own version of Ubuntu, with loads of extra programs added. Before I try this, I'm gonna test it using vmware server. But I'm kinda confused as to how to do this with only the ISO file.

I need to virtualise Ubuntu 24/7 on my Mac. Is there a lite virtualisation piece of software that allows me to run it discretely? I do not want an interface... I will manage via SSH... I have been using VirtualBox but it always insists on having a window open... can I run a guest
OS as a service?? VMWare server looks suitable but it's not available for the Mac... :-(

I want to deploy 10-15 VMWare hosts to cloudstack. This is my first time working with any type of cloud. I was doing research on installation and architecture, I was stuck on a point that for using VMWare hosts i have to install VCenter server, but i can't do that as it's paid. So, please guide me that is there a way of deploying these VMWare hosts on cloudstack without buying any licensed software.

When I Alt+Tab to my VM from my host the VM does not get keyboard input until I click inside it. This is causing me an issue as it looks like the VM has control of the input (as the cursor is flashing away). If while in this state, VMWare server has the focus rather then the application inside it, if you do ctrl+Z (normally for undo) it suspends the VM.
This is driving me barmey. I have looked through all the options and preferences in VMWare Server and can't find anyway to disable this.
Anyone know how to disable this?

I want to be able to create a VMWare image, by specifying the components that should go into it, preferably in a script, and then get VMWare, or some third process, to build the machine from the specs.
So I want to be able to say eg.
OS - Windows 2003, Apps - Visual Studio etc, and then it builds the machine automatically from the description.
I know that you can create a template from an existing machine, and use that, this is going one step higher, and building the template from a set of specifications.
Any ideas?

I can't figure out what is the difference between these two programs.
Specifically, I'm interested in running a virtual server in the background, as a daemon (Linux host OS)

I want to be able to log into VIServers using PowerShell and have it ask for the credentials the first time the script runs, then save those credentials in the password.txt file and have the VIServer just use that password.txt file stored locally on the user's computer if the user runs the script again. The pain point is that the credential prompt keeps popping up again and again while the user wants to run the script several times.
I am able to use the following code from another answer posted here on Stackoverflow (Link: http://www.adminarsenal.com/admin-arsenal-blog/secure-password-with-powershell-encrypting-credentials-part-1)
and it works:
Read-Host "Enter Password" -AsSecureString | ConvertFrom-SecureString |
Out-File "G:\dev\Password.txt"
$pass = Get-Content "G:\dev\Password.txt" | ConvertTo-SecureString
$User = "MyUserName"
$File = "G:\dev\Password.txt"
$MyCredential = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential
-ArgumentList $User, (Get-Content $File | ConvertTo-SecureString)
I found the following from a vmware blog (Link: http://blogs.vmware.com/PowerCLI/2011/11/have-you-seen-powerclis-credential-store-feature.html)
And here is the code from vmware blog(with some explanation):
To use the credential store, I do the following:
New-VICredentialStoreItem -Host 192.168.10.10 -User "Andrey" -Password "my favorite password"
Now I can type just:
Connect-VIServer 192.168.10.10
When I don’t specify user and/or password, Connect-VIServer checks the credential store, finds my newly stored credential and uses it.
By default the credential store file is stored under the user profile directory. It is encrypted. If I got you interested, check “help *VICredentialStoreItem” for details.

PowerCLI Architect
=============AND NOW MY MODIFIED VERSION OF THE VIServer code==========
$Hostname = 192.168.10.10
New-VICredentialStoreItem -Host $Hostname -User $User -Password $pass
Am I on the right track?
What should I do to type the credentials only 1 time and then just have the script call that $creds variable instead of having to type in the credentials every time?

I am using Spring tool Suit.
I have a maven multi-module project. Totally 4 modules are there. 2 are JARs and 2 are web modules. Its in SVN.
I imported the project from svn as maven project.I did maven install. Then I am trying to add the project to vmware.
I right click on server --> Add or Remove
I am getting error like "There are no resources that can be added or removed from server".
Then I tried converting my project to Dynamic Web module from Project->Properties-> Project Properties.
Then I am able to add the project. And it's showing in the server window. But when I start the server server just starts and project is not added.
I tried creating new work-space and did all. But still I am getting like this.
Has anyone got like this before? How can i solve this issue?
