VMwareServerがカーネルバージョンアップ後にエラーで起動しない件
VMwareServerはカーネルをバージョンアップするとVMwareがエラーで起動できなるなる。というか起動していた状態でも動きが変になる。手元の環境ではインスタンスは動いているが外部からネットワークアクセスできなくなった。
環境は以下。
- VMwareServer2.0
- ホストOS、ゲストOSともにCentOS5.2
VMware起動時のエラーメッセージ
$vmwareを実行すると以下のメッセージが返ってくる
VMwareServer is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the
following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.
また#/sbin/service vmware startすると以下のメッセージ
Stopping VMware autostart virtual machines:
Virtual machines [失敗]
Stopping VMware management services:
VMware Virtual Infrastructure Web Access
VMware Server Host Agent [失敗]
Stopping VMware services:
VMware Authentication Daemon [ OK ]
VM communication interface socket family: [ OK ]
Virtual machine communication interface [ OK ]
Virtual machine monitor [ OK ]
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 [ OK ]
Host network detection [ OK ]
Virtual ethernet [ OK ]
解決方法：VMwareを使うには/usr/bin/vmware-config.plしなおす。
vmware-config.plはインストール時の初期設定で使ったウィザード。これを再度実行すれば直る。ちなみにほとんどの項目は既存設定を読んでくれるがDo you want to enter a serial number now?の所でnoにしたら直らなかったのでちゃんとシリアルを再入力する必要があるかもしれない。
