[root@localhost ~]#
yum install gcc
2. 新版本RHEL7.1含有open-vm-tools组件,需要先删除该组件。
[root@localhost ~]#
rpm -e open-vm-tools-desktop-9.4.0-6.el7.x86_64
[root@localhost ~]#
rpm -e open-vm-tools
3. 复制VMware Tools 安装包
4. 解压安装包
[root@localhost tmp]#
tar zxvf VMwareTools-9.9.2-2496486.tar.gz
[root@localhost tmp]#
cd vmware-tools-distrib/
5. 开始安装VMware Tools
[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]#
./vmware-install.pl
安装全部采用默认值即可。

The VMware Host-Guest Filesystem allows for shared folders between the host OS and the guest OS in a Fusion or Workstation virtual environment. Do you wish to enable this feature? [yes] Could not create the '/mnt/hgfs' directory. Please make sure it is writeable and/or not currently in use. The filesystem driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work independently of this feature. If you wish to have the shared folders feature, you can install the driver by running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine. These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD. [ Press Enter key to continue ] The vmxnet driver is no longer supported on kernels 3.3 and greater.

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take effect. You can now run VMware Tools by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd" from the command line. 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. Enjoy, --the VMware team
