Snow Leopard Vmdk And Darwinsnow Iso File
So I've got our old VMWare image from the old server. The image was sized for the old 36Gb SCSI drives and now resides on 160GB drives, and I need to resize.
VMware Workstation 9, MAC OSX Snow Leopard disk or iso, VMware OSX. Click Next and pick installer disc image and attach the iso file as shown below. Custom Package (VMWare image.vmdk, darwin_snow.iso, Vmware sound card drivers). How to Install Snow Leopard [VMWare], 9.4 out of 10 based on 5 ratings.
The D and E drives were dynamic disks that I could resize pretty easily by just expanding the disk through VMWare player and then Computer Management in the VM, but the C: is a Primary Partition and won't let me expand it. Is there a way to expand the virtual Primary partition to use the other 12GB of the VHD or do I have to drop the cash for one of the Partition Magic for Server varieties out there? I hate to spend that much money for something I'm only going to use once as next year we're going to be completely re-vamping our entire network and going from the 2k3 Enterprise VM to a 2k8R2 setup, this year is just a holdover. I wouldn't care so much about it, but the C drive was only set to 8GB and the last time we tried to do the Windows updates, we actually ran out of room on the drive (seriously, 0K free) and can't upddate things like the SQL server and such because of it.
Of course we need to update the SQL server so we can adapt and convert it to a newer version for the server re-vamp next year. Anyways, any ideas guys?
Here's a screenshot of the issue: As you can see, we've only got 742 MB on C which isn't enough to run the Windows updates, much less anything else. Any suggestions guys? EDIT: The converter worked like a champ! Now I have some more general VMWare questions, and I didn't want to start a new thread. Expanding non-boot basic disks is easy. Here's the trick I've used in the past to expand boot basic disks.
Although I've only done this using SANs, it should work for you. Shut down the VM using the c: drive. Take a snapshot of the drive in case something goes wrong.

Let another server with the same OS see that drive. Expand the drive using diskpart if it's 2003 or disk management if it is 2008 or later. Take the drive away from that server. Boot the VM back up. You should now have a larger C: drive.
OK, more questions for y'all VMWare guru's. From my Mac Arcana post: Hey guys, I have a VM for VMWare Player running Snow Leopard that I used to run on my old machine. That machine was a C2D, 4GB RAM, etc, etc.
I tried running that same VM on my new machine and it crashed. From the searching I've done, it seems that the OS-X VM doesn't like my new AMD Phenom2 CPU. Doing some searching around, I've found all sorts of people have the same problem, and about 2 dozen workarounds, and all of the workarounds seem to have problems. The most common one is using a Darwin-Snow-Legacy.ISO for it to boot from, but it seems that there's something missing. Has anyone set up something like this? I have the opportunity to borrow the Intel OS-X Lion or Snow Leopard disks for a few days and just create one from scratch, but as far as I know I can't just create a new VM, point it to the Lion disk, and away I go because of the CPU/chipset/GPU combo I have.
Is there a walk-through somewhere that actually works? What do the.ISO images actually do? Which one will I actually need? Other questions: 1: What is a VMWare appliance? I see there are some *nux OS appliances which appear to be pre-compiled installs of the full OS and it's apps.
Is that correct? What are the other appliances and what is an Appliance used for? Not specific appliances, but in a general 'appliances are tools that have been built in as images' or 'appliances are add-on packs that go in through VMW Player' or something.
2: When I move a VM from machine to machine I always get the 'Is this copied or moved?' Question when I fire it up. Aren't the VM's universal? 3: The VMWare Server has been EOL'd at 2.0.2, which sucks. Is there a free replacement that does the same thing or do I really need to purchase a vSphere setup? Where does ESXi come into all this?
I don't see it on their page, but we need something that will work in more modern versions of *nux for a small non-profit I work with. 4: The VMWare converter worked well for adjusting the HDD size, but I haven't had the chance to really dig into it. Can and how well does it do converting VMWare to Hyper-V?
