VMware 2.0 (Server branch)
VMware allows you to run 'virtual machines' inside a Linux host. It is not an emulator. It provides a virtual computer within the host which can boot whichever OS you decide to put on the filesystem image that is used as a harddrive. It will run DOS 6.22, Win 3.1, Win9x, WinNT/2000/XP/2003, Linux, Novell, and more. The only main requirement is a 400 MHz or better machine, along with lots of RAM (128M minimum, 256M recommended). License: Free To Use But Restricted Changes:
This major release introduces VI Web Access, VMware remote console, USB 2.0 device support, increased RAM support (8GB instead of 3.6GB per virtual machine), improved 64-bit guest support, native 64-bit host support on Linux, quiesced backups of virtual machines, a VMCI Sockets interface, and hot add and remove for SCSI hard disks.

NAME

       pmdavmware - VMware performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

       pmdavmware is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from a (possibly remote) VMware virtualisation host.

       This implementation uses the VMare Perl API (refer to the online docs at http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit).  VIPerl is
       a prerequisite for this PMDA, it needs to be installed and configured before attempting to use this agent.  It is highly recommended that
       you test your VIPerl installation using the demo programs that are shipped with VIPerl, before attempting to use this PMDA.

INSTALLATION

       In order to access performance data using the VIPerl API, it is necessary to be able to login to the metrics source.  Hence, a valid VMware
       server name, user name and pass word are needed by the PMDA.  These can be passed in on the command line (via the pmcd.conf file) or via a
       vmware.conf file in the PMDA directory.

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/vmware
	       # [ edit vmware.conf ]

       This file should contain three lines, such as:

	       $server = 'vm.server.net';
	       $username = 'XXXX';
	       $password  = 'YYYY';

       Once this is setup, you can access the names and values for the vmware performance metrics by doing the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/vmware
	       # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/vmware
	       # ./Remove

       pmdavmware is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly.  The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
       installed or removed.

FILES

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/vmware/vmware.conf
	   configuration file for the pmdavmware agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/vmware/Install
	   installation script for the pmdavmware agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/vmware/Remove
	   undo installation script for the pmdavmware agent

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/vmware.log
	   default log file for error messages from pmdavmware
