			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>VMware hat die <a href="http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/challenge/">Virtual Appliance Challenge</a> abgeschlossen, ein Wettbewerb bei dem die Community virtuelle Maschinen konfigurieren und an VMware schicken konnte:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>First Prize. 		<a href="http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/challenge/winners.html#first">HowNetWorks</a></strong>, a  		high-level network analyzer. <em>(Mikko Hiltunen, team leader.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Second Prize. 		<a href="http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/challenge/winners.html#second">Trellis NAS Bridge</a></strong>, 		network attached storage (NAS) virtualization for multiple  		CIFS/SMB and Unix/SSH servers. <em>(Andrew Macdonell, team leader)</em></p>
<p><strong>Third Prize. 		<a href="http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/challenge/winners.html#third">Sieve Firewall</a></strong>, 		transparent bridging iptables firewall configured through a 		Windows-based .net GUI. <em>(Michael Jett, team leader)</em></p>
<p><strong>Collegiate Category Prize. 		<a href="http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/challenge/winners.html#collegiate">Open Network Registrar</a></strong>, 		a drop-in administration tool for BIND and DHCP. <em>(Zachary Colgan)</em></p>

</blockquote>
<p>Jedenfalls kann man jetzt schon eine ganze Menge dieser Images bei VMware unter <a href="http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/index.html">Virtual Appliances</a> herunterladen. Interessant im Hinblick auf den Test neuer Software (Nagios, etc), da auch Unternehmen Trialversionen anbieten wie Astaro.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The first steps are performed on the host, within Workstation menus:</p>
<p>1. <strong>Power on</strong> the virtual machine.</p>
<p>2. After the guest operating system has started, <strong>prepare</strong> your virtual machine to install VMware Tools.<br />
<span id="more-337"></span><br />
<code>Choose VM > Install VMware Tools. </code></p>
<p>The remaining steps take place inside the virtual machine.</p>
<p>3. As root (su -), <strong>mount the VMware Tools</strong> virtual CD-ROM image, change to a working directory (for example, <code>/tmp</code>), uncompress the installer, then unmount the CD-ROM image.</p>
<blockquote><p>Note: Some Linux distributions automatically mount CD-ROMs. If your distribution uses automounting, do not use the mount and umount commands below. You still must untar the VMware Tools installer to /tmp. </p></blockquote>
<p>Some Linux distributions use different device names or organize the <code>/dev</code> directory differently. If your CD-ROM drive is not <code>/dev/cdrom</code> or if the mount point for a CD-ROM is not <code>/mnt/cdrom</code>, you must modify the following commands to reflect the conventions used by your distribution.</p>
<p><code>mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom<br />
cd /tmp </code></p>
<blockquote><p>Note: If you have a previous installation, delete the previous vmware-distrib directory before installing. The default location of this directory is <code>/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib</code>. </p></blockquote>
<p>4. <strong>Untar</strong> the VMware Tools tar file:</p>
<p><code>tar zxpf /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-5.0.0-<xxxx>.tar.gz<br />
umount /dev/cdrom </xxxx></code></p>
<p>Where <xxxx> is the build/revision number of the VMware Workstation release.</p>
<blockquote><p>Note: If you attempt to install a tar installation over an rpm installation &#8211; or the reverse &#8211; the installer detects the previous installation and must convert the installer database format before continuing. </p></blockquote>
<p>5. <strong>Run the</strong> VMware Tools <strong>tar installer</strong>:</p>
<p><code>cd vmware-tools-distrib<br />
./vmware-install.pl </code></p>
<p>Respond to the configuration questions on the screen. Press Enter to accept the default value.</p>
<p>6. <strong>Log off</strong> of the root account. exit</p>
<p>7. <strong>Start X</strong> and your graphical environment.</p>
<p>8. In an X terminal, <strong>launch the VMware Tools</strong> background application.</p>
<blockquote><p>Note: You may run VMware Tools as root or as a normal user. To shrink virtual disks, you must run VMware Tools as root (su -). </p></blockquote>

<p>Das gro&#223;e Online-Magazin <a href="http://eweek.com">eWEEK</a> hat eine Liste der Top-Produkte von 2005 <a href="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1901684,00.asp">ver&#246;ffentlicht</a>. Neben <a href="http://www.dittes.info/blog/2005/12/27/wordpress-20-final-released/">WordPress</a>, Solaris 10 und einigen anderen Produkten wurde eben auch <a href="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1822996,00.asp">VMware&#8217;s Workstation</a> ausgezeichnet:<span id="more-316"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>VMware&#8217;s <!-- start ziffarticle //--><a href="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1822996,00.asp">VMware Workstation 5.0</a><!-- end ziffarticle //--> &#8211; which enables multiple virtual machines to run on one piece of hardware—packed on features and performance enhancements that earned it Analyst&#8217;s Choice honors in June.</p>
<p>VMware Workstation 5.0 boosts IT organizations&#8217; infrastructure flexibility; increases productivity; and lowers IT costs for tasks such as technical support, training and software development. This update also includes significant improvements in memory management, allowing users to run multiple VMs without noticeable performance degradation.<br />

<p><a href="http://vmware.com">VMware</a> hat nun endlich die finale Version des VMware Players <a href="http://www.vmware.com/news/releases/player.html">ver&#246;ffentlicht</a>. Dieses Tool kann vorgefertigte Images &#246;ffnen und stellt damit einen kompletten virtuellen Server bereit.</p>
<blockquote><p>VMware Player can be used by anyone to run virtual machines on a Windows or Linux PC. VMware Player makes it quick and easy to take advantage of the security, flexibility, and portability of virtual machines.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.vmware.com/download/player/">Herunterladen</a> kann man sich den Player <a href="http://www.vmware.com/download/player/">hier</a>. Des weiteren hat VMware in Zusammenarbeit mit Novell, IBM, Oracle, MySQL, Spike und anderen Firmen <a href="http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/vm/">vorgefertigte Images</a> erstellt, die man sich ebenfalls <a href="http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/vm/">kostenlos herunterladen</a> und mit dem <em>VMware Player</em> &#246;ffnen kann. [<a href="http://www.dittes.info/blog/2005/11/02/vmware-player-images/#comment-14">Review</a>]</p>
<blockquote><p>VMTN&#8217;s collection of pre-built virtual machines from industry-leading ISV and open source partners simplifies software packaging, distribution, and deployment. Instead of spending time installing and configuring applications, developers and QA teams can now focus their efforts on development and testing.</p>
<p>To download any pre-built virtual machines below, you will need to register and download from each partner&#8217;s site. Then to run these virtual machines with the application software pre-installed and configured, simply download and install the free VMware Player. You may also use VMware Workstation, GSX Server or ESX Server.</p></blockquote>
<p>Somit ergibt sich die M&#246;glichkeit, v&#246;llig kostenfrei die Vor- und Nachteile eines virtualisierten Systems zu erkunden und sich von der Leistungsf&#228;higkeit von VMware zu &#252;berzeugen.

<a href="http://www.golem.de/0511/41846.html">Golem hats auch bemerkt</a>.</em></p>
<blockquote><p>Noch hat VMware die Version 5.5 seines Workstation-Produktes zwar nicht angek&#252;ndigt, auf der Website des Unternehmens steht diese Version aber schon jetzt zum Download bereit. Sie wartet mit voller 64-Bit-Unterst&#252;tzung f&#252;r Host- und Gast-Betriebssysteme auf, wobei in den virtuellen Maschinen nun auch mehrere Prozessoren zur Verf&#252;gung stehen, sofern diese im Rechner stecken.</p></blockquote>

<p>Even if they didnt tell anybody about it, <a href="http://vmware.com">VMware</a> placed the final version of VMware Workstation for <a href="http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/">download</a>.</p>
<p>Maybe they will tell the world that they have finished v5.5 on Tuesday, 29th since the version number tells us, the release was made on nov., 29th.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/">VMware Workstation</a> (ab v4.0) und der <a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/gsx/">GSX Server</a> (ab v2.5.1) haben ein kleines Problem mit dem Stromsparmodus der <a href="http://www.intel.com/products/centrino/">Centrino Mobile Technology</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.intel.com/products/i/laptop/centlogo.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>Das Problem wurde folgenderma&#223;en beschrieben:</p>
<blockquote><p>I have a Windows host with power management features that vary the processor speed. When the host processor speed increases, the guest clock runs too fast. Can I correct this?</p></blockquote>
<p>Ich hab mal ein Screenshot gemacht:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dittes/63896995/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/34/63896995_5d882a49de.jpg" width="450" height="160" alt="power_management" /></a></p>
<p>Zur L&#246;sung des Problems schl&#228;gt VMware eine Editierung des <em>config.ini</em> vor.</p>
<blockquote><p>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini</p>
<p>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware GSX Server\config.ini</p></blockquote>
<p>In der  deutschen Version von Windows lauten die Pfade nat&#252;rlich</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\&#8230;.</p></blockquote>
<p>So, nun muss man einige Zeilen in dieser <em>config.ini </em>  anf&#252;gen:</p>
<blockquote><pre>host.cpukHz = 1590000
host.noTSC = "TRUE"
ptsc.noTSC = "TRUE"</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>Der erste Eintrag legt die maximale CPU Taktfrequenz fest: z.B. <em>1700000</em> f&#252;r einen Centrino mit 1,7 Ghz. Die n&#228;chsten Zeilen sorgen daf&#252;r, dass die Uhrzeit trotz verlangsamtem <em>Time Stamp Counter (TSC)</em> den richtigen Wert beh&#228;lt.</p>
<p>VMware h&#228;lt auch noch ein <a href="http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf">PDF-Dokument</a> zum Thema <em>Timekeping in VMware Virtual Machines</em> <a href="http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf">bereit</a>.</p>

<p><a href="http://vmware.com">VMware</a> hat eine neue Version der <a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/">VMware Workstation</a> als <em>v5.5 Release Candidate 2</em> zum testen f&#252;r Lizenznehmer der Version 5 <a href="http://www.vmware.com/programs/1/wkst5beta.do">bereitgestellt</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.vmware.com/img/home_promo_ws_beta.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>Da ich diese Woche an einem Problem der Einbindung eines analogen Modems eines Gastsystems unter VMware 4.5.2 gearbeitet habe und mir die Liste der neuen Features von v5.5 Hoffnung auf Erfolg gemacht hat, habe ich die Betaversion von VMware auf dem <a href="http://acer.de/acereuro/page4.do?dau22.oid=7935&#038;UserCtxParam=0&#038;GroupCtxParam=0&#038;dctx1=9&#038;CountryISOCtxParam=DE&#038;LanguageISOCtxParam=de&#038;crc=3902453765">Acer Aspire 1690</a> installiert.</p>
<blockquote><p>    *  Support for 64-bit guest operating systems<br />
    * Experimental support for 2-way Virtual SMP<br />
    * New support for select host and guest operating systems and hardware &#8211; 32 and 64 bit<br />
    * Ability to open and convert Microsoft VMs or Symantec LiveState Recovery images<br />
    * Toolbar customization capabilities<br />
    * New wireless networking capabilities for Linux hosts<br />
    * Improved autodetect makes it easier to configure devices for virtual machines<br />
    * Enhancements to the command line interface
</p></blockquote>
<p>Von dem Funktionsumfang hat die neue Version schon ordentlich zugenommen, was man in den <a href="http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/releasenotes_ws55.html">Releasenotes</a> nachlesen kann. Allerdings ist die Version noch relativ buggy, sodass nach einem kleinen Test die VMware Workstation keine Gastsysteme mehr laden wollte. Eine empfohlene Reparatur der Installation brachte nichts, auch eine komplette Neuinstallation verlief immer im Sand.<br />
Warten wir also lieber auf die Final. <img src='http://dittes.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Nach dieser Entt&#228;uschung habe ich wieder auf Version 5.0 &#8220;downgegraded&#8221;, die sich problemlos installieren und wieder in Betrieb setzen lie&#223;. <a href="http://www.vmware.com/pdf/ws55_manual.pdf">Hier noch</a> das offizielle <a href="http://www.vmware.com/pdf/ws55_manual.pdf">Handbuch</a> zu v5.5 und abschlie&#223;end die Erkl&#228;rung VMwares zu der Betaversion:</p>
<blockquote><p>We are proud to announce the availability of VMware Workstation 5.5 Release Candidate 2, the latest version of VMware&#8217;s desktop application for software developers/testers and IT professionals. We have taken an exceptional product and improved it with new features and capabilities that increase individual productivity and flexibility, and let users work with new types of software. Now we want to know what you think of it! As a beta tester, you can provide us with real-world testing and product feedback that will ensure the final release provides the functionality and quality that you expect from VMware Workstation.</p></blockquote>
