Introduction and installation of vmtools
1. What is VMware?
VMware is a virtual machine software that virtualizes a new host on your existing operating system. On the one hand, this virtual host is built on your operating system. At the same time, it also has its own independent CPU, hard disk, memory and various hardware. Of course, these are all virtualized. the cpu Of the VM is implemented through the i386 protection mode, A virtual hard disk is actually a file on the local machine. Of course, the memory is drawn from the physical disk, and other network devices are also implemented in some way.
VMware offers us the opportunity to run two independent operating systems at the same time on one machine. One is the original operating system and the other is running on a virtual machine. The former is called the local machine, the latter is the virtual host.
