Thanks a lot, will do, that way I will have an specific server for all VM needs in the future without having to take down any system to reconfigure.

(sorry for top-posting; the Gmail mobile client can only reply by top-posting) Well, if you want to run that appliance on the file sever, you still have to install a hypervisor on the file server (e.g., VMware or Xen or Linux KVM). I'd recommend setting aside another server box and install a baremetal hypervisor on it (e.g., VMware ESXi or Citrix XenServer).
