Comment on VMWare Server 2.0 is a step back by Scott

Man, was I glad to see this thread. Downloaded 2.0 and thought I’d be getting an improvement over 1.0. NOT EVEN CLOSE. After 2hrs of being unable to simply open the same virtual machine I’ve happily been using for almost 2 years… I’VE GIVEN UP. If the simple things can’t be done easily, it defeats the whole purpose. Version 1.x was simple… point to the VM, Open/Run… you’re up and running… this is a TOTAL KLUDGE. Lousy interface, worse documentation, unnecessarily complex terminology. I strongly feel this is how they expect to be paid… (read extortion) by an off-putting product that forces you into paid support. BEWARE. DON’T UPGRADE. SKIP IT. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. STAY WITH WHAT WORKS UNTIL VMWARE GET THEIR HEAD OUT OF THEIR (…) Virtual Box looks great but I couldn’t get it to open a few year old deki wiki virtual machine but would have loved to switch.

This benchmark is long past, but performing the same benchmark with VMWare Server 2.0 using RAW would be interesting to see. If it were closer to the hardware result, it may prove more capable of providing service for heavy disk IO workloads.

Thanks again for the results.

Dan Parsons:
Actually, I was speaking from my experience, which was with ESX 2.x. So, I *should* have said “VMWare themselves use a modified Redhat 7 as the Virtual Machine Manager for their enterprise ESX [2.x] product.” Just as you *should* have stated “FYI, Red Hat 7 is *not* used as the “virtual machine manager” for ESX [3.x]”
