CHAPTER 5 Moving and Sharing Virtual Machines

173

Sharing Virtual Machines

with Other Users

If you intend to have other users access your virtual machines, you should consider

the following points:

• On Windows hosts, the virtual machine files should be in a location on a system

that is accessible to those users. When you configure the virtual machine in the

New Virtual Machine Wizard, you can specify a location for the virtual machine

elsewhere on your system or on the network.

• On Linux hosts, permissions for the virtual machine files — especially the

configuration file (.vmx) and virtual disks (.vmdk) — should be set for other

users according to how you want them to use the virtual machine. For instance,

if you want users to run a virtual machine but not be able to modify its

configuration, do not make the configuration file writable.

• If your virtual machine was created under GSX Server 3 or another VMware

product (such as Workstation 4 or later) and uses independent disks in

nonpersistent mode, consider changing the location of the redo-log file, since

by default it is placed in your TEMP directory, to which other users may not have

access. To change the location of the redo-log file, take the following steps.

a. With the virtual machine powered off, open the virtual machine settings

editor. Choose VM > Settings.

b. Click the Options tab.

c. Click Browse and select a directory that is shared with other users.

d. Click OK to save the change and close the virtual machine settings editor.

Note: GSX Server 2 virtual machines with disks in nonpersistent mode perform

better when the redo-log files for those disks are located in the system’s TEMP

directory.

• The virtual machine must be located in a directory with permissions set so that it

is accessible to all users of the virtual machine.

• The virtual machine must not be private. For more information, see Only You

Can See a Virtual Machines You Create on page 107.
