Introduction to VMware:VMware is a Virtual PC software that can create a new hardware environment on an existing operating system, equivalent to simulating a new PC to actually run two separate operating systems on a single machine at the same time. Key Features of VMware:
- You can use more than two operating systems on the same PC without partitioning or rebooting.
- The native system can communicate with the virtual machine system network
- can set and modify the hardware environment of the virtual machine operating system at any time
To install a VMware virtual machine:recommended VMware configuration:CPU: Recommended frequency is above 1GHz. Memory: Recommended above 1GB. hard disk: Recommended partition free space above 8GB. 1. Unzip the downloaded VMware installation package and double-click to run the. exe file
2. Select Custom Installation
3, it is best not to install on the C drive, select other drive letter
4. Do not check for this update
5, do not tick, is some of the help provided by VMware and so on.
6. Next Step
7, waiting for progress to run out
8, enter the product password, Baidu a bit, a plethora.
9, the installation is complete.
To Create a virtual machine:1. Open the VMware virtual machine and click New Virtual Machine
2, the default selection "standard"
3. Select "I'll install the operating system later"
4, choose the Linux system, the version of the use of CentOS
5. Set the name of the virtual machine and select the Linux CD location
6. Default Selection
7. Complete
8. Here, the VMware virtual machine was created successfully.
to set the hardware configuration for a virtual machine:Here is some configuration information for the new virtual machine, similar to the hardware configuration of our normal computer.
Configure the memory of our virtual machines
Configure the number of processors and their number of cores, in combination with actual conditions.
Configure the network adapter
One: Bridging:can communicate with the same LAN segment. I don't know much about this concept, and I understand it in order to expand the range of communication in the network. For example, the user can now only access a range of networks, if connected through a bridge, A and b two ranges, then the user can access the two ranges of the network. Equivalent to a bridge.
Two: Nat and Host-onlyNAT: Choose VMNET8 Virtual network card to communicate with your real machine, your virtual machine can be connected to the Internet
Host-only: Choose VMnet1 Virtual network card to communicate with your real machine, your virtual machine is not allowed to surf the internet
you can only communicate with your real machine, not with your local LAN segment.Snapshot:A disk "snapshot" is a copy of a virtual machine disk file (VMDK) at a point in time. System crashes or system exceptions, you can maintain disk file system and system storage by using revert to snapshot. Snapshots are the Savior when upgrading applications and servers and patching them. VMware snapshots are a featured feature in VMware Workstation.
Create a snapshot
To manage virtual snapshots:
(1) VMware Virtual machine installation and creation of virtual machines
