Install VMware on LINUX & Windows Server 2000 as Virtual

Machine
Posted By Neha Mittal On May 26, 2008 @ 5:18 pm In windows ad | 4 Comments

This post covers installation of VMware on Linux machine and then install virtual windows
2000 Server. Later (in coming posts) we’ll configure Microsoft Active Directory on this
windows server and finally Integrate/Synchronise Microsoft Active Directory (AD) with
Oracle Internet Directory (OID)

Here are simple steps to install VMware on Linuxas host machine. Download VMware for
Linux from here [1] http://www.vmware.com/download/ws

Download it into /tmp directory & unpack it using following command:

tar -zxvf VMware-X.X.X-XXX.tar.gz

( -z for gzip file , x - extract, v - verbose )

After unzipping, you can see directory vmware-distrib. Now move this directory
to /use/local/src for installation.

mv vmware-distrib /usr/local/src
Locate the installer in this by changing directories:
cd /usr/local/src/vmware-distrib
ls

run the script “vmware-install.pl” :

./vmware-install.pl

It will then ask series of questions, I just pressed on default value for everything .[2]

After it is installed, change directories to where you had it install the binary files, by
default, /usr/bin/vmware.

cd /usr/bin/vmware

& to start it up give the vmware command.

./vmware

This will start VMware on linux, it will ask for various things like license, place the license
file which you have downloaded & start the configuration wizard to install new VM.

Choose the operating system you are going to install, in my case Windows Server
2000. After that it will ask for the name for VM , I named it ‘windows server 2000‘.

I allocated 65 Gb as Disk space, depends on your usage just make sure you have that
much space available on your hard disk.

Next, place in your CDROM for your Virtual OS and click “Power On” Just go through the
steps to install the OS.

Once you have it installed in, it will boot up.
