Re: To learn vmware from the beginning

My hopes are to in the future have a machine here at home that is powerful enough to run a variety of different VMs so I can make that my virtual lab to learn new technologies. Thank you for the links folks.

To learn vmware from the beginning

This is a very robust website, and product for that matter. I have *some* experience with vmware but I want to know, if I was starting from day 1 with vmware, where should I start? What resource do I begin with, and build on from there? There are many directions to go with from what I see on this website I may want a certification in the future, but for now I want to set a solid foundation to grow from and build into real world solutions.

Thank you for the direction.

I have been learning more and more about this product as a solution to help me with a virtual network to help with studies.

I have a question about setting up a machine just for VMWARE. What is it I need to look for or how do I research what I would need in order to run 4-6 virtual servers on a machine? I'm not looking to have users pound it, just something I could run 2-4 windows servers and maybe a client win7/8 machine on to test school labs, that sort of thing. Is there a calculation used, or a chart on the VMWARE site that could show what I need?

Tell me, when you say "advanced network configurations you'll need to learn how to manually edit the .vmx configuration file" what exactly does this entail? I've been reading the last few days and am building my knowledge base.

VMPlayer OK to Learn Server OS?

ITGL72 — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 15:52:29 GMT

I'm a student, looking for a way to run multiple OS and test. Right now I am learning windows servers, and would like to run the evaluation version of windows 2008 server to do some testing and gain experience. Will the VMPlayer suffice? Or, will I need a different VMWare. I am new here, so I will be reading and learning through out the day. Appreciate the direction.
