VMware server 2.0真的只能拿來測試用。
轉為 ESX 的步驟如下:
- 用光碟安裝VMware ESX 4.1
- 啟用SSH service (Tech Support Mode),參考 http://vaemon.com/article/910.html
- login as root
- vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config, 設定 PermitRootLogin yes
- service sshd restart
- 用 FileZilla SFTP (FTP over SSH) 或 Linux scp command 將 .vmdk 傳到 ESX 的 datastore 目錄,預設在 /vmfs/volumes/datastore1
- 用 ESX command vmkfstools 將 VMware server 2.0 的 .vmdk 轉為 ESX 格式,參考 http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1028042
- vmkfstools -d thin -i /source_path/source.vmdk /destination_path/destination.vmdk
- 安裝 vSphere Client 或 vCenter 新增 virtual machine 時選擇 Custom,Disk 選擇 "Use an existing virtual disk"
- 事後輸入 license key (vSphere Client),參考 http://communities.vmware.com/message/1308751
- Home -> Inventory -> top level (your ESXi Host)
- Configuration Tab
- Left-hand side - Licensed features
- Edit (in right-top) -> Assign new key to this host -> Enter Key
- Paste your key
- Confirm all the rest
- Your ESXi Server is now fully licensed
