CentOS 6.5 minimal installation and configuration VMware tools

CentOS 6.5 minimal installation and configuration VMware tools

Install CentOS 6.5 on VMWare. Some problems may occur when the system installs vmware-tools. The following solutions are provided;

1. log on to the system and switch to the root account.

2. Configure the network

By default, the minimal version does not start the network, so you must configure it yourself.

The configuration process is simple, editing the configuration file vi/etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0

Two changes are required.

NM_CONTROLLED = "no" # modifying to no does not rely on NetworkManager Control

ONBOOT = "yes" # modify to yes to set startup.

NetworkManager is the default network management tool provided by the full version. It is set because it is not installed with minimal.

NM_CONTROLLED = "no"

3. The installation script of vmware-tools must use perl, but CentOS6 does not contain perl. Therefore, to install perl on your own, you can download the source code or yum. The simplest method is to use yum.

[Root @ bkjia ~] # Yum install perl

4. Obtain the vmware-tools Package

Click the vmware interface to load the vmware-tools image.

[Root @ bkjia/] # cd/

[Root @ bkjia/] # mkdir/media/mnt // create a directory

[Root @ bkjia/] # mount/dev/cdrom/media/mnt // mount directory

Mount: block device/dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

[Root @ bkjia/] # cd media/mnt // enter the mounted directory

[Root @ bkjia mnt] # ls

Manifest.txt VMwareTools-9.6.1-1378637.tar.gz vmware-tools-upgrader-64

Run_upgrader.sh vmware-tools-upgrader-32

[Root @ bkjia mnt] # cp VMwareTools-9.6.1-1378637.tar.gz/root

[Root @ bkjia mnt] # umount/dev/cdrom # disable the device

[Root @ bkjia mnt] # cd/root

[Root @ bkjia mnt] # tar zxvf VMwareTools-9.6.1-1378637.tar.gz # decompress the file

5. Install vmware-tools

[Root @ bkjia mnt] # cd vmware-tools-distrib # enter the file directory

[Root @ bkjia mnt] #./vmware-install.pl # Installation

6. An error occurs at the end of the installation.

Initctl: Job failed to start

Unable to start services for VMware Tools

Start Services manually

/Etc/vmware-tools/services. sh start

See is the vmware-tools-thinprint.conf error, Anyway do not need to print the virtual machine, delete the corresponding configuration

Rm/etc/init/vmware-tools-thinprint.conf

7. Restart the service and start the service.

Blocking file system: [FAILED]

After investigation, you need to install fuse-libs

Yum install fuse-libs

8. Restart the service.

/Etc/vmware-tools/services. sh restart

P.S. when starting the service, Mounting HGFS shares: [FAILED] may be reported. This problem may be caused by the fact that the shared folder function is not enabled in the virtual machine settings, so no error will be reported when the service is restarted.
