Recent versions of the Linux kernal haev switched from using udev devfs, this causes problems for versions of vmware pre the Workstations V5 generation. The solution:
- rm /etc/vmware/not_configured if it exists.
- Copy the following code into /etc/init.d/vmware after line 815.
for a in `seq 0 9`; do mknod /dev/vmnet$a c 119 $a > /dev/null 2>&1 done mknod /dev/vmmon c 10 165 > /dev/null 2>&1 - Now run /etc/init.d/vmware start and the program should work again.
No update in the past few weeks because I’ve been doing exams, and so haven’t been doing any work towards my dissertation. But since my first time back after the exams was at the start of the month, it’s time for a review.
- Project Scope – received and expanded to include what will be included and what wont be included in this project
- Timeline – all tasks have been entered into the timeline and time periods put against them
- Investigate testing & testing environments – research done, just needs writting up.
- Other company testing environments – questionnaire done, sending out soon.
- Meeting with testers – questionnaire completed and replies analysed. Goood discussions about how things will work.
- Review of virtual machine products – still continuing
So as you can see I have done quite a bit, but I’ve also got quite a bit to crack on with.
