[one-users] Trying to run opennebula using VMWare on Windows

[Manish Sapariya]

Hi Tino,
When I created another instance of the VM,
it started working all right. I am not sure
why the first one did not work.

Its great to see VMs running on Windows VMWare
Server.

Thanks for all the help, really appreciate it.
Regards,
Manish
