I don't know if this is the area to post. I am in a mental pickle. We are replacing our HP ML350 with a new machine. We use Server 2003 in a domain. We are planning on buying new and upgrading. The IT specialist sent me this comment.
What the specialist wants to do is to “I want to create a virtual machine (Windows Server 2008 R2) which would run Oracle and Microsoft SQL. I would create another virtual machine (Windows Server 2008 R2) that would be running Remote Desktop Services. VMware will be installed on the new physical server. “
What I don’t understand is the tech fellow installing on this new computer VMware as the operating system – and then later he creates virtual machines? In those virtual machines he then installs server 2008? I thought one installed first server 2008 as Host ; then install VMware, and then create virtual machines with server 2008 installed as guest? Thanks for helping me understand what this upgrade to server 2008 and virtual machines entails.
