Security - We will get there

I have one virtual host which I need to use VMware Server for some business reason so I downloaded the latest version and get it installed pretty easily as what I did before for quite a lot of VMware Server installations. It used to be quite stable but for some reason this version keeps crashing one of my vmware instances. The vmware logs did not give me any useful hint so I can not figure out how to fix the crashing yet. All I can do is to restart the virtual instance at this moment. Then I noticed there could be some bug in this new version of VMware Server because I can not even restart the virtual instances from time to time. Here is a small tip for restarting the virtual instances if you get into trouble.

1. service vmware-mgmt stop
2. netstat -napt | grep 902 , then find the pid of the process pid1
3. kill -9 pid1
4. netstat -napt | grep 8307, find the pid of the process pid2
5. netstat -napt | grep 8308, find the pid of the process pid3 if it exist
6. kill -9 pid2 pid3
7. vmware-authdlauncher
8. service vmware-mgmt start , let it start up for one or two minutes
9. vmware-vim-cmd vmsvc/power.getstate virtualinstanceid, check the state of your virtual instance
10. vmware-vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on virtualinstanceid , start your virutal instance

Please let me know if it doesn't work for you and how you fix it if possbile. Good luck.
