Vmware or virtuozzo?

[matrix4583]

Which one is good for VPS?

[jbiloh]

I really prefer ESXi personally.

[adamnp]

define "good" , what are your needs, what are your expectations? A better determination could be made if you provide a bit more information, so pros and cons could be weighed properly.

ESXi is good as long as the hardware can support it. I would go for XEN, its a good hypervisor and can do a lot of amazing things, a little bit better than ESXi can unless you get the paid package from VMWare.

I have vmware window server and i need to make a web server on virtual machine 1 with same physical ip address on the machine. Is that possible? or do i need to get another ip address?

[bullfrog3459]

you have vmware server running on windows? if so yea it will take a load of work to get that IP to pass through traffic, but im sure it could be done. Not worth the time just getting another IP and giving the VM.

[lpgservers]

Release the IP from the server and then assign it to the VM.

[matrix4583]

Releasing the ip as in removing the ip from physical server to vps? if so then i will lose all my game server ip on physical server.

For both systems to share the same IP you would need to go into the virtual network editor and setup a virtual interface with NAT (and DHCP if you'd like). This will allow your VM to have an IP of 192.168.x.x. You then need to setup your port forwarding in that same area. This setup works similar to how most home networks operate.

 

As bullfrog said, it would be 10 times easier to just get another IP on the host, bridge the connection, and give that IP to your VM.

 

VMWare is perfectly fine for running a VM on a host OS. If you want something more bare metal you could look into XenServer or VMWare ESXi

Thanks Cid! =]

Well my test VM has 192.168.X.X , but it can't get out(wan) i believe that ip is class b address and i need class a(if i remmeber).

im looking to start doing VPS end of the year, im going to be using http://www.solusvm.com/ looks the best so far, you need to install centos and openVZ the XEN, but that all needs to run on a master server, then the remote servers can have virtuals. best thing about solusvm that its supported by WHMCS which is great for auto creation and general customer up keep.

SolusVM is junk in my opinion. I prefer ESXi or XEN over it all day every day. However, I really like BareMetal as well.

"You do not have permissions to login to the server", vmware window server. I tryed to add a test account with full control under admin option in vmware but i am not able to log in!!! i search google and it stated that i need to add permission to the user. But i don't know which folder or file i need to add it to in root loging of the server? sigh.

Probably becuase you choose not to bridge it or even have it as nat. If you choose just internal network then yes it wont work. You don't need a class a out to the wan. Classes have really nothing to do with how this will affect anything. Its determined on your setup for the VM Server.

2.x window server. and nat. the test vm able to get on the internet but it is 192 ip. which is a lan ip not wan.

You would use the IP you use for the host server. For every port that you want directed to your VM (80, 3306, 21, 22) you have to forward that in the virtual network management to you VM's internal IP address.

 

Send me an email if you need some help.
