I don't have a vmware-server box in front of me, but have a look in /var/log/vmware (or /var/log/messages) for any sign of what is going on. You can also run "vmware-cmd ThisBox.vmx start" from a terminal and see if that spits out anything useful.
You can also look inside the vmx file if it points to something invalid when you migrated. (BTW I assume when you said "clients" your really meant "guests") Regards, Martin Martin Visser Technology Consultant Consulting & Integration Technology Solutions Group - HP Services 410 Concord Road Rhodes NSW 2138 Australia Mobile: +61-411-254-513 Fax: +61-2-9022-1800 E-mail: martin.visserAThp.com This email (including any attachments) is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary or privileged.
