VMWARE ESX Server Trial :(
I have had a trial of VMWARE running in my development network for a few days now.
The other day, teh main os (not the virtuals) crash, and i had to reboot the system (by cutting off the power). It is installed on a CentOS 3 install.
This broke Xwindows, some font configuration error, which i resolved.
however, now when i try to use VMware, i am old that the /tmp directory is full and it cannot run.
however, there are no files in /tmp and it is on the main parttion, so it shouldnt be out of space
any ideas?
thanks

Just curious, why are you running a base OS with ESX Server? ESX is Vmwares first product that does not use a host OS, but interfaces directly with the hardware. It does use a boot strap loader based on RedHat, but that's it. Not depending on a host OS allows ESX to do many things (such as manage resources) that the earlier GSX product could not do.

You are correct about ESX not requiring any host O/S, however it will not work on just any standard PC based hardware. ESX actually requires a few specific things (like the server must have a SCSI controller) and even has a compatibility matrix for Hardware, found here:

Just thought I'd chime in..
Take care,
