Can the simulator files, extracted from the compressed download file be copied up to a datastore on an ESXi HA, and a simulator machine built?
Because when I try to do this, the copy to the datastore completes, but the 126 or so small .vmdk files just dissapear once the copy is complete. Ive tried 5 times, same results.
Then I downloaded VMWare Player, and tried running the simulator from my workstation. Though my workstation fits all requirements (64 bit etc), it chokes when I try to play the simulator.
I'd like to run the simulator on the VMWare HA cluster, as its own VM. But the files I copy up to the datastore just seem to disappear.
Any ideas? How do YOU run the simulator? Where do you run it?
