how to monitor each VM's traffic?
by Rudi Ahlers 08 Aug '08

08 Aug '08

Hi all Can someone please tell me how to monitor each VM's traffic on a CentOS 5.2 server, running either Xen or OpenVZ? I need to bill my users for the traffic they use, and would like to have a traffic usage graph for each Xen / OpenVZ Virtual Machine on the server. Thanx :) -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

VMs won't power on
by Richard Fairfield 08 Aug '08

08 Aug '08

Hello - I have installed the VMware-server-1.0.5-80187.i386.rpm package on a CentOS 5.1 system. I then ran the vmware-config.pl program. I chose mostly default answer, except that I did not choose the NAT option; I saw no errors. I used the VMware Server Console to create a Red Hat Linux VM. I also copied an externally created VM into the '/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/' directory. I cannot power-on either of these VMs. The VM's console is blank for several minutes, after which the following message appears in a pop-up window: Unable to change virtual machine power state: The "/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx" process did not start properly Try running "/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/Red Hat Linux/Red Hat Linux.vmx" from the command-line on the server.. I tried running it from the command line, as the message suggests. That just hangs forever. I don't see anything other than the above error message in the /var/log/vmlog/vmware-serverd.log file. I've tried rebooting, and uninstalling and reinstalling the VMware Server software. I even tried installing from tar file, instead of the RPM. Nothing changes. I'm completely stuck. Can anyone help me with this? Richard Fairfield | Applications Engineer Isilon Systems P +1-206-315-7500 F +1-206-315-7501 www.isilon.com D +1-206-777-7911 M +1-206-372-2776

Hi, how many gusets can I run with Centos 5.2? RH EL 5 is limeted to 4 guests while the advanced server is unlimeted. We like to migrate a couple of small physical servers and some test/development-systems to virtual systems. Thanks for any hints.
