Hello,


I googled many hours to find out that some people did the following

configuration:


* OpenBSD as Host (last version if possible)

* VMWare server installed (VMWare server 1.0.4 -> 1.0.6 if possible)

	- Linux Virtual Server

	- Windows Virtuel Server


But I didn't find any recent document on this. Did somebody do the

configuration or know, where I can find some documentation to implement this

solution ?


Thanks for your feedback

Regards

I think to OP was asking how to run VMs on VMWare Server running

OpenBSD.  The linked article describes running OpenBSD as a VM, not

hosting VMs...

Too fast on the send key.  Also meant to add that I don't think it

works.  But qemu in ports does.

Yeah, you're right, he explained me her problem...

I tell him, that can use the linux emulation, to use vmware server if

exist for linux.

Yeah, you're going to have to stick with qemu; VMware is Windows/Linux/Mac

only. I vaguely seem to recall some chatter about getting xen working with

an OpenBSD dom0, but I don't think that was ever completed. But if someone

has heard differently, then please enlighten us!
