VMware Server new build available for beta testers

VMware just released a new build (22088) of upcoming Server product (formerly GSX Server).

While it seems there are no features here what issues have been fixed:

  • Virtual SMP virtual machines suspend automatically after 24 hours.
    In beta release build 20925, VMware Server automatically suspends a virtual machine configured to use Virtual SMP after 24 hours of continuous operation. To correct this issue, upgrade to VMware Server beta build 22088.
  • Virtual machine might fail to power on when debugging is enabled.
    In beta release build 20925, your virtual machine might fail to power on, and VMware Server displays the error message: “Operation failed to change the VM to the expected power state.” To correct this issue, upgrade to VMware Server beta build 22088.
  • Unable to create new virtual machine over SSL connection.
    In beta release build 20925, attempts to create a new virtual machine over an SSL connection might fail. By default, the VMware Server Console connects to the VMware Server host using SSL. To correct this issue, upgrade to VMware Server beta build 22088.
  • “Socket issue” reported when attempting to create virtual machine.
    In beta release build 20925, VMware Server sometimes fails to create a new virtual machine and displays the error message: “An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.” To correct this issue, upgrade to VMware Server beta build 22088.

The final release of this product is expected for Q2 2006.
