Hi all,
this is my first post in this forum.
After migrating vom VMware Workstation to VMware Server i am unable to either import
existing VM's nor can i create new ones.
Trying to import an existing machine, the console reports "Unable to add virtual machine "/lhome/rebehn/vmware/machines/Dragonfly-1.4/Dragonfly-1.4.vmx" to the inventory: Invalid virtual machine".
OS: Ubuntu Dapper, Kernel 2.6.17.8 SMP
VMware-server-1.0.1-29996
