VmwareTools for linux的安装

[注意] 以下操作在root帐号下完成。

一、VMwareTools-版本号.rpm的图形模式的安装：
1.在Windows的vmware的窗口菜单中选vm（虚拟机）->install vmware tools（安装Vmware Tools）

2.挂载光驱目录mount /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)
3.打开/mnt/cdrom目录
4.找到VMwareTools-版本号.rpm包，双击选运行就好了
5.安装完成后在windows的vmware的窗口菜单中选vm（虚拟机）->Setting（设置）->Options（选项）
->Shared Folders（共享文件夹）->添加你要共享的Windows目录
6.重新启动，再进入RedHat就会在/mnt目录下自动生成/mnt/hgfs目录了
7.如果没有则在终端中输入
/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl

按照提示去操作就可以了.我的操作结果如下:

[root@localhost root]# /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl

The configuration of VMware Tools 6.0.0 build-44426 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 use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/network stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/network start

To make use of the virtual printer, you will need to restart the CUPS service

If you wish to configure any experimental features, please run the following
command: "vmware-config-tools.pl --experimental".

Enjoy,

 

8.这时再看看是不是已经出来了

二、VMwareTools-版本号.tar.gz包的文本模式的安装：
1.右键点击桌面，打开一个終端。
2.在終端里：
su
#/sbin/telinit 3
3.图形界面消失，敲回车几下，在文本方式下登录。
4.在Windows的vmware的窗口菜单中选vm（虚拟机）->install vmware tools（安装Vmware Tools）
5.在虚拟机中：
su
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /tmp
ls
tar zxf VMwareTools-版本号.tar.gz
/etc/init.d/network stop
rmmod vmxnet
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl（一路按回车，有yes的话输入yes）
6.回答并设置屏幕分辨率，除了分辨率需要选择外，直接回车就行了。
7.开启刚才关闭的网络服务
/etc/init.d/network start
8.返回到默认的图形界面（运行级别5），关闭RedHat
/sbin/telinit 5
9.在windows的vmware的窗口菜单中选vm（虚拟机）->Setting（设置）->Options（选项）
->Shared Folders（共享文件夹）->添加你要共享的Windows目录
10.重启RedHat看看吧
/mnt/hgfs/你共享的文件夹名
