VMware Linux using Virtual optical drive installation VMware Tools detailed __linux

I use the Linux system is fedora, just learning Linux, a lot of things will not, last night because you need to copy or pull files between the host System window 7 and the virtual system fedora, you need to install VMware Tools on the virtual machine system fedora, The detailed installation process is documented as follows:

Make sure that the virtual machine is powered on and that the virtual operating system is running correctly before installing.

1. On the VMware Workstation menu on the host system, select Vm->install VMware Tools. If earlier versions of VMware Tools have been installed, the VM menu displays update VMware Tools, If the current version of VMware Tools has been installed, reinstall VMware Tools is displayed under the menu.
2. Log on to the system as Administrator (root) on the virtual operating system.
3. If your Linux configuration does not mount CD-ROMs automatically, mount the virtual CD-ROM image of VMware Tools.

A. If necessary, create a directory/mnt/cdrom directory:

Mkdir/mnt/cdrom

B. Mount CD-ROM drive

Some Linux systems are configured with different driver names and organization directories, and if your CD-ROM drive is not/dev/cdrom or your mount point is not/mnt/cdrom, modify the corresponding command according to your configuration environment.

Mount/dev/cdrom/mnt/cdrom

4. Change of working directory (e.g./tmp)

Cd/tmp

5. If there is a previous installation file, delete the previous Vmware-tools-distrib directory.

The location of the directory is related to the location where you previously placed the installation files, and usually he is placed in/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib.

6. Unpack and install the program

Tar zxpf/mnt/cdrom/vmwaretools-8.4.4-301548.tar.gz

The value <x.x.x> is the product version, the number and <yyyy> is the product package release number.

7. If necessary, Umount CD-ROM mirroring.

If the Linux system configuration is to mount the CD-ROM automatically, there is no need to umount CD-ROM mirroring.

Umount/dev/cdrom

8. Run VMware Tools installation files.

CD Vmware-tools-distrib

./vmware-install.pl

Prompt to install Wizard information on the command line, press ENTER to accept the default value. The configuration file is automatically run when the installation is complete vmware-config-tools.pl

9. If you are updating VMware Tools, you will need to restart the virtual operating system or manually reload the PVSCSI, vmxnet, and Vmxnet3 Linux kernel modules. If the kernel module is reloaded, then the network of the virtual machine is interrupted.

10. Restart the network by running the following command:

 /etc/init.d/network Stop rmmod pcnet32 rmmod vmxnet modprobe start

  11. Log out of the administrator account, that is, root. Exit 12.   (optional) access to the system graphics environment 13.   Run the VMware User process in the terminal (terminal), enter the following command: Vmware-user the following is my own installation process and command (not in explanation): [Lxiron@fedoraos ~]$ su Root password:  [Root@fedoraos lxiron]# mkdir/mnt/cdrom [Root@fedoraos lxiron]# CD/[Root@fedoraos/]# pwd/[Root@Fedor AOS/]# ls bin   Dev  home  lost+found  mnt  proc  sbin     SRV  tmp  va R Boot  etc  lib   media       opt  root  selinux  sys  usr [Root@fedora OS/]# CD mnt [Root@fedoraos mnt]# cd CDROM [Root@fedoraos cdrom]# CD/[Root@fedoraos/]# Mount/dev/cdrom/mnt/cdrom MoU Nt:block Device/dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [Root@fedoraos/]# cd/tmp [Root@FedoraOS tmp]# tar ZXPF /mnt/cdrom/vmwaretools-8.4.4-301548.tar.gz [Root@fedoraos tmp]# umount/dev/cdrom [Root@FedoraOS tmp]# CD Vmware-tools-distrib [Root@fedoraos vmware-tools-distrib]#./vmware-install.pl Creating a new VMware tools instalThe LER database using the TAR4 format.
