1.安装vmtools for linux:
启动VM中的linux,选择vmware workstation程序菜单中VM > install VMware tools...
执行过程中会出现如下的问题:
(以下的命令要用超级用户的权限执行,即以root的身份执行)
执行:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom (vmtools的安装文件放在vmware虚拟的cdrom中,首先要mount上这个光驱才能找到安装文件)
cd /mnt/cdrom
tar -zxvf VMwareTools-5.0.0-12124.i386.tar.gz -C /tmp (把安装文件解压到/tmp)
cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl (执行vwware的安装脚本,这个脚本是用perl编写的)
在这里,安装程序会询问安装文件存放位置和设置分辨率等一系列问题,在大多数情况下,安装默认配置vmware tools就可以正常工作,因此,这里对每一个问题按回车键选择默认配置
安装完以后,vmware会添加一个vmhgfs的模块到内核中,可以使用lsmod查看。
The guest operating system has locked the CD-ROM door and is probably using the CD-ROM, which can prevent the guest from recognizing media changes. If possible, eject the CD-ROM from inside the guest before disconnecting.
Disconnect anyway (and override the lock)?
提示说客户机系统已经锁定CD-ROM并且可能正在使用它。如果可能请弹出CD-ROM。现在我们要做的就是点击YES,然后发现到虚拟机中看CD-ROM中是空的,所以我们重启一下虚拟机然后进到虚拟机里的CD-ROM中可以发现VMwareTools-x.x.x.xxxx.tar.gz,我们把这个文件拷贝到别的地方,当然也可以不拷贝。
执行:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom (vmtools的安装文件放在vmware虚拟的cdrom中,首先要mount上这个光驱才能找到安装文件)
cd /mnt/cdrom
tar -zxvf VMwareTools-5.0.0-12124.i386.tar.gz -C /tmp (把安装文件解压到/tmp)
cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl (执行vwware的安装脚本,这个脚本是用perl编写的)

The installation of VMware Tools 8.1.3 build-203739 for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".
Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want
this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]

The configuration of VMware Tools 8.1.3 build-203739 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 X server session.
To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.
To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/networking stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/networking start

安装完成之后就可以在/mnt/hgfs/Share下看到了。其中这里的Share文件夹是在虚拟机的菜单项VM->Settings->Options标签页中的ShareFolders指定的。
