Comment on Vmware ESX 3i for free! by Jason

Perhaps there is a misunderstanding on targeted use

To quote VMWare’s doco again:

After you complete initial setup of your host machine, you can install the software
needed to manage ESX Server 3i. For your first evaluation experience, you will install
the VI Client to manage a single host.

So, at the least, it would seem that the hypervisor won’t expire, and you’re not REALLY forced to use VirtualCenter — if you want to run/manage a single host.

For a single, physical server, this seems like something nice, without any 60 day threats and whatnot…

Weird… I’ve just been trawling the net for evidence of what you say and I can’t find any…

Although Vmware have released 3i for free, it’s only good for 60 days after which your management has to be done by a Virtual Center!

They’re evil geniuses, I tell you!!!

You could at least credit the original author that you’ve plagiarised.

And you really should use vmkfstool instead of cp.

Yeah. It should have been server1. I will edit it out.

Interesting to see how this can be accomplished. I always thought it should be possible, contrary to VMWare’s statements.

Regarding step 5, where did the monkeys come from? Don’t you mean server1 instead?

Comment on Dynagen doesn’t save VLAN database after reset by Ratboy

My preferred option would be up the flash drive in the definition, so “disk0 = 256? gives you
a lot of space for files.

The next thing I would try is “erase” the flash memory. If that doesn’t work, there is a reference
on the Cisco website that for 2600 and 3600 routers that a filesystem has to be squeezed
once before use (I assume before copying files to it).

Mine has always worked, so I don’t know if this also applies to Dynagen, but:

The CCO article imples that one needs to:
1. erase flash
2. squeeze
3. copy files
4. delete a file
5. squeeze
