Linux虚拟系统安装VMware Tools总结

一、VMware Tools安装手记(For Linux Guest OS)

为什么要装 VMware Tools？

因为它可以改善 Virtual Machine 的运行性能，而且可以让 Host OS 和 Guest OS
互通有无，这样我们就不用伤脑筋，要架设什么服务器，来沟通两个 OS，现在就让我们开始吧！

VMware Tools所在位置：VMware 安装路径 /VMware/VMware
Workstation/linux.iso

[root@rd01 ~]# mount /cdrom

# 有时可能加载不了，这时就要先将系统关闭，再手动指定 ISO 映像，看下图

[root@rd01 ~]# cd /cdrom

[root@rd01 ~]# ls -a

[root@rd01 ~]# cp VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz
/tmp

[root@rd01 ~]# cd /tmp

[root@rd01 ~]# tar zxpf
VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz

[root@rd01 ~]# cd vmware-tools-distrib

[root@rd01 vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl

The configuration of VMware Tools 5.5.1 build-19175 for Linux for
this running

kernel completed successfully.

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes
take

effect.

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:

"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an XFree86 session.

To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following
commands:

/etc/init.d/network stop

rmmod pcnet32

rmmod vmxnet

depmod -a

modprobe vmxnet

/etc/init.d/network start

# 修改完成之后，重新启动计算机，让 VMware Tools 生效



# 重新启动计算机之后，我们就会发觉到，当我们要离开 Guest OS 的时候，不再需要按 Ctrl + Alt 了，

# 现在我们来共享 Host OS 的文件夹给 Guest 使用，〔VM〕→〔设置 Ctrl + D〕

# 注：左下角原本都会显示「You do not have VMware Tools installed」，现在我们装了 VMware
Tools，就不再显示了













# 这就是共享完毕的画面，然后我们就需要到 Guest OS 内，看看可不可以读取到刚刚共享的目录

# 顺利的话，我们只要到「/mnt/hgfs」文件夹，就可以看到刚刚共享的文件夹了
