VMWare Server “Failed to lock the file” error

7th January 2008, 02:50 pm

One of my VMWare Servers in Pekanbaru returned this error…
Its running VMWare Server 1.0.3 on Debian Etch… and must of been shut down improperly…

Resolving requires me to delete 2 *.WRITELOCK files within the same directory as the *.vmdk file…

$ ls
564d77ac-9f7e-2227-ad4a-45fc12749f5f.vmem
564d77ac-9f7e-2227-ad4a-45fc12749f5f.vmem.WRITELOCK
nvram
vmware-0.log
vmware-1.log
vmware-2.log
vmware.log
Windows XP Professional-f001.vmdk
Windows XP Professional-f002.vmdk
Windows XP Professional-f003.vmdk
Windows XP Professional-f004.vmdk
Windows XP Professional-f005.vmdk
Windows XP Professional-f006.vmdk
Windows XP Professional-f007.vmdk
Windows XP Professional-f008.vmdk
Windows XP Professional.vmdk
Windows XP Professional.vmdk.WRITELOCK
Windows XP Professional.vmsd
Windows XP Professional.vmx

after that starting the virtual machine from the VMWare MUI seems to do the trick…

Virtual Infrastructure

13th May 2007, 09:07 am

Akhirnya kesampaian juga upgrade server, sekarang “ungu.bigwisu.com” sudah retired… digantikan oleh sebuah Virtual Machine “merah.bigwisu.com”…

Server ini jalan diatas Virtual Infrastructure… sebuah mesin AMD Athlon 64Bit dengan RAM 2GB HDD 2x 80GB… secara resource mesin ini sangatlah berlebih…

Jadi jika anda butuh sebuah dedicated server, mungkin anda bisa mencoba sebuah Virtual Machine yang jalan di server saya… tentunya dengan harga yang menarik… :D
