4. Install VMware Tools

 

When REDHAT7.3 is installed on a virtual machine, you are always reminded to install VMwareTools in the status bar because the virtual machine is the default

 

Using the built-in virtual graphics card, you can start the VM correctly only after the VMware Tools is correctly installed.

 

REDHAT7.3 operating system, and correctly set the video card and display resolution parameters.

 

Note: perform this operation after installing LINUX.

 

A. Restart the VM and click Setting -- VMware Tools Install (to Install the VMware tool)

 

Click Install in the pop-up menu to Install the VMware tool.

 

B. Click the Devices menu and you will find that the menu item of the optical drive is changed from IDE: 0 to IDE: 0> F :\

 

Program Files \ VMware \ VmwareWorkstation \ Programs \ Linux. ISO,

 

This means that VMware uses the linux iso image file as the VM's CD.

 

C. In fact, the VMware Tools software package has not been installed, and further settings are required.

 

Enter the text logon interface, enter the administrator username (ROOT) and password to enter ROOT @ LOCALHOSTROOT

 

Directory.

 

D. Enter the following command after the command line (note case sensitivity and space, and press enter after each command line)

 

Mount-t iso9660/dev/cdrom/mnt (load the CDROM device and the CDROM is read-only .)

 

Cp/mnt/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz/tmp (copy the package to the TMP directory of LINUX)

 

Umount/dev/cdrom (homes CDROM)

 

Cd/tmp (enter the TMP directory)

 

Tar zxf vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz (unzip this package)

 

Cd vmware-linux-tools (go to the decompressed directory)

 

./Install. pl (run the installation command and the system starts to install vmware tools)

 

E. Press ENTER twice on the screen. After the system installs vmware tools, run the following command:

 

Enter the STARTX command in the line, start REDHAT7.3, and enter the graphic interface.

 

 

5. Set the display resolution

 

The resolution of the Virtual Machine display is higher than that of the local machine.

 

The window size is inconsistent. it is inconvenient to switch between the local machine and the virtual machine.

 

Therefore, you need to reset the resolution of the Virtual Machine display.

 

A. Type cd/etc/x11 in the command line (X is capital ). Enter the directory where the configuration file is located and enter

 

Mc command.

 

B. Go to the MC Editor, move the cursor to the XF86Config-4.vm file with the up and down arrows, and press F4.

 

The configuration information is displayed in a text window.

 

D. The displayed configuration information can be found after the title of the Screen Section.

 

E. Find the resolution of the monitor and complete the resolutions used by the Modes higher than the ms windows in the local machine.

 

To delete a file, you must delete the file from high resolution to low resolution to avoid vulnerabilities.

 

F. Save the modified information, return to the X11 directory, and enter startx to enter the graphic interface. The operating system in the Virtual Machine

 

The resolution is changed.

Use host-only in VMWARE to enable Redhat linux-guest to access the Internet and start the samba service.

 

The following describes how to install vmware and vmware-tools.

 

1. In windows, select the NIC connected to the Internet, and select "properties"> "advanced"> "Internet Connection Sharing"> "allow other network users to pass .. -> Choose VMnet1 for the home network connection.-> OK.

2. Configure static IP addresses in linux

Click Little Red Hat-> System Settings-> Network to Open Network Configuration

Double-click the following Profile to open the dialog box and fill in the static IP Address

Address: 192.168.0.21 (the last digit can be written randomly except 1)

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.0.1

Click OK.

Select DNS and enter Primary DNS: 192.168.0.1

Select hosts to view your host name and IP address. You need to modify the following

Save

3. Edit host address

Create a terminal and write vi/etc/hosts to open the hosts file

Change the ip Address in front of the host to the ip Address. (Usually in the first line)

4. Restart the network service

Service network restart

5. You should be able to access the Internet.

6. Configure samba

Vi/etc/samba/smb. conf open the configuration file

Find hosts allow or Add hosts allow = 192.168.0 to the file (do not forget the last point)

Add a shared folder at the end of the file. The following is an example. (The file shows how to add shared folders)

[Root]

Comment = all for windows

Path =/root

Guest OK = yes

Writeable = yes

[Data]

Comment = data

Path =/data

Guest OK = yes

Writeable = yes

Save and exit

7. Restart the samba Service

Service smb restart

8. In windows, you can access the shared folder set above.

Start> RUN> enter \ 192.168.0.21

Access your shared folder

9. You can use a remote tool, such as putty.exe, to log on to linux using ip address 192.168.0.21 in windows.

In this way, you can use command lines in windows to work in linux, instead of switching to vmware.

10. If the preceding settings are correct, use the following command in linux.

Ifconfig: Check whether eth0 has an ip Address: 192.168.0.21.

If not

Ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.21

Service smb restart

Service network restart
