I have 2 vmwares running. I got the second one running by creating another
vmmon with a different name but same number of characters:
a21p% ls -l /compat/linux/dev/vmmo*
crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 200, 1 Jun 11 11:00 /compat/linux/dev/vmmo2
crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 200, 0 May 9 14:32 /compat/linux/dev/vmmon
a21p%
Then I ran this Perl script to patch the "vmmo2" in places of "vmmon":
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
open(VMWARE,"/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware") || die;
open(DUP,">/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware.dup") || die;
while(<VMWARE>){
s,/dev/vmmon,/dev/vmmo2,;
print DUP;
}
close VMWARE;
close DUP;
system("chmod 4555 /usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware.dup");
Then I modified the vmware script to fire up:
/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware.dup
Now I have 2 vmwares running with networking etc. I define non-conflicting
devices and use netgraph to tie the various networks together.
