ESX on VMWare Workstation

Busy installing ESX on VMWare Workstation using the CLI.

First problem was that ESX could not see the Workstation NIC, I modified the VMX file to contain the follwoing lines (UNDERLINED).

floppy0.autodetect = “TRUE”
ethernet0.present = “TRUE”
ethernet0.wakeOnPcktRcv = “FALSE”

and

tools.upgrade.policy = “useGlobal”
ethernet0.virtualDev = “e1000″
monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = “TRUE”
monitor_control.vt32 = “TRUE”
floppy0.fileName = “A:”

This seems to have sorted the problem out.
