*SOLVED* Running vmware on the main server with openvz [message #4389]

I have installed openvz on a server, and now i want to run vmware in the main system. Is it possible to do this?

i am not intending to run vmware INSIDE a vps, but rather on the main system itself, but vmware just exited when i ran /usr/local/bin/vmware. The installation was reported as a great success though. The vmware compiled all the requisite modules, and told me that the they loaded into the kernel perfectly.l

thanks.

Sorry for the hasty post. The issue was with lack of X server for teh Vmware workstation. I ran an strace and saw the error. But anyway, the question sort of stands though. is there any limitation in running a vmware with the openvz kernel?

Just curious whether the vmware kernel modules will conflict the openvz ones. Actually it shouldn't be an issue since they are totally different virtualization methods, but i was just wondering.

thanks.

there is no any conflicts between openvz host system and vmware.
you can run vmware in VE0 (openvz host/main system) as well as run openvz inside VMware.
