 Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:36 am Post subject: [SOLVED] vmware server not working after upgrade |
 |
|
Hi,
Today I have upgraded vmware-server from version "2.0.2.203138-r1" to "2.0.2.203138-r4" and vmware-modules from version "1.0.0.24-r3" to "208.2", but now I am not able to access the web interface or the started VMs.
After the update by portage, I have executed vmware-config.pl and do one or 2 manual changes as recommanded by the tool. And as said above, I can't connect to the web interface, so I cannot connect directly to the guestOS to check its IP address and to be sure that it was started properly.
Using vmrun, I can start the vm, it seems, but I am not able to access the guestOS through ssh. ssh replies "no route to host".
Does anyone have an idea where could be located the problem?

Do you get any error messages when starting vmware-server?
Anything else that got updated at the same time?
Edit: to correct innacurate information

Use

to configure your installation of VMware Server 2.
In order to run VMware Server 2, you have to
be in the 'vmware' group.
VMWare Server also has issues when running on a JFS filesystem. For more

When starting the vmware service, no error is shown on the terminal. But in the log file /var/log/vmware/hostd.log, I can see various errors below are excerpts from the log files with the various errors encountered.

Something that could be of importance, it is an x86 gentoo box running on a Pentium E with 2 cores. The guestOS is a fedora 14.
Is it really necessary to re-run vmware-config.pl after every update of vmware server?

I finally found the problem, it seems to be linked to the fact that I have not specified the license key after running vmware-config.pl after the upgrade. To fix the issue, I first downgrade vmware-server and vmware-modules, run vmware-config.pl and provide the license key and ensure everything was working correctly, then upgrade again to the last version of each package and make sure that I enter the license key.
Everything now is working as expected.
