Upgrade VMware Server

Upgrading from VMware Server 1.0 to VMware Server 2.0
   
   Run the VMware Server 2.0 installer for your host to upgrade to VMware Server 2.0 from VMware Server 1.0. The installer automatically uninstalls the previous version of the software.

• VI Web Access and VMware Remote Console replace the VMware Management Interface and VMware Server Console.
• VMware Server 2.0 does not support physical (raw) disks.
• VMware Server 2.0 uses datastores to manage virtual machine locations. A datastore is a storage location for VMware Server virtual machine files. The storage location can be the local file system, a CIFS store(Windows only) or an NFS-mounted file system(Linux only).
• VMware Server 2.0 creates hardware version 7 virtual machines by default, If you want to use all features of VMware Server 2.0, it's recommended that you upgrade virtual machines to hardware version 7.
• VMware Server 2.0 uses a different permissions model from VMware Server 1.0. After you install VMware Server 2.0, log in as an administrator user to create and manage permissions for non-administrator users.
• VMware Server 2.0 automatically names both default and custom virtual networks.
