HowTo: VMware Server 2 on ReadyNAS 4.2.11
Hi, based on the guides from jdw99 and chirpa (viewtopic.php?p=155733#p155733 and viewtopic.php?f=35&t=26468) I completed a step-by-step guide to get VMware Server up and running on my NAS. This Ho...
I don't have an NVX to test this on but basically it's an x86 architecture which would mean that it should work in principle. You'd have to remember not to compile for x64 though and also I wouldn't expect any kind of performance to write home about.
The NVX has a 1.1Ghz single core chip which is significantly slower. Also there's only 1GB of memory and I'm not sure how far that can be upgraded. My PRO on the other hand has been upgraded to a 2.4Ghz, 4MB Cache Core2Duo E6600 as well as 4GB of RAM and it is still taking quite a performance hit when running VMs.
So I'd say it works as a kind of "playground" but I wouldn't recommend it for any form of real workload.
