I'm pleased to announce that the VMmark public beta is now available for download at: http://www.vmware.com/beta/vmmark/.
Am I able to login as root user to those pre-built SuSE VMs? what is the password for 'root'?
vmmark should be the password
I think the pre-built VMs are pretty cool. Can you pre-build all other three Windows VMs or at least Java and standby servers considering mailsever takes more disk space?
Another question is -
is there a reason why STAF was not pre-installed in those pre-built SuSE VMs? I understand we need to change STAF config file for different system but at least the common task of installation can be done in the pre-built VMs? Correct?
STAX/STAF has a different license (CPL not GPL) that should be accepted by the end-user.
Also STAF/STAF is actively maintained so this also helps ensure that users have the
latest version.
What components of cygwin are really needed for VMmark?
I know it makes it simple to say install everything. But that a) takes a long time to download, b) takes up a lot of extra disk space (up to 2.5GB) on every client server, and c) includes a lot of packages that are obviously not going to be used (like database and xwindows).
