@pt,

You are running vmware-cmd as root or via sudo, correct?

I’d tail /var/log/vmware/vmware-serverd.log when you try to start and see what messages appear.

I also experienced VMControl erro -8, however with the vmware-cmd start. (This is vmware server 1.05 )

I just wonder if know what could cause this, and if there is anything in the log that I can look for?

Thanks
