vmware - virtual machine issue/question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey guys.

Might be a little off topic, but I'm not sure exactly how to proceed on this.

I'm evaluating/investigating vmware, and how you create a "virtual
machine" using the command line for fedora/centos.

Basically, I want to be able to create a test virtual machine and then
be able to run the VM on another system using the virtual player.

I'm looking for pointers/articles/instructions that detail what I need
(in terms of tools/apps) and the steps needed to accomplish this.

I've seen a few articles/sites that discuss creating virtual machines,
but they all involve using the GUI.

There are different tools/apps provided to create a Virtual Machine,
but I'm not sure which to use.

Basically, I want to do a test, to ultimately have a Virtual
Machine/Image that can be run on a separate server using the vmplayer
app

I've seen docs that discuss using the GUI to create the VM, but
haven't found any (yet) that discuss how to accomplish this using the
command line approach.

So::

If I have a system with two drives

DriveA, DriveB

DriveA has my regular OS,

>From DriveA, I install an OS onto DriveB, along with any additional files I need

DriveB is then the system that I want to use as the basis of the new
Virtual Machine/image

So I need to figure out how to create the VM from the cmdline.
 (here is where I'm looking to get a feel for the actual cmds/processes to run)

And once I create the VM, I'll deal with the issue of running the VM
from the vmplayer/client side.

Hope this clears things up a bit.

Pointers/Comments would be helpful.

Thanks
