Hello folks,
Might I say, I love VMware server 2.0, because vmware tools that fit into CentOS 5 make my day. On the other hand, the tools don't seem to work as well with CentOS 4 anymore...
Here's my predicament: I have a CentOS 5 host with several virtual machines running slimmed down versions of CentOS 4. Tools install just fine on my CentOS 5 guests, but when I install and configure tools on the CentOS 4 guests, it gives me a message about having to run the following:
/etc/init.d/networking stop
rmmod vmxnet
rmmod pcnet32
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/networking start
Which works. The networking works after I do this, and stays up. But, as soon as I reboot, there's NO net until I run those steps again. One of the reasons I enjoy VMware server 2.0 is the slick options I have for starting my VMs in order, and this defeats the purpose. Any tips?
