为什么要装 VMware Tools？ 因为它可以改善 Virtual Machine 的运行性能，而且可以让 Host OS 和 Guest OS 互通有无，这样我们就不用伤脑筋，要架设什么服务器，来沟通两个 OS，现在就让我们开始吧！ 最小化安装的centos少一些安装vmware tools的必要工具，先安装这些工具再安装vmware tools能省不少力气。 CentOS更新源设置及系统更新 不更新内核和版本号的设置方法 一：安装VMware Tools的之前必装的工具套件方法如下： Centos安装VMware Tools： [root@piaoyun-vm vmware-tools-distrib]# su root 切换为 root 安装必要的工具套件： [root@piaoyun-vm vmware-tools-distrib]# yum -y install perl gcc gcc-c++ automake make kernel kernel-headers kernel-devel [root@centos-vm vmware-tools-distrib]# yum install kernel-devel $(uname -r) [root@centos-vm vmware-tools-distrib]# uname -r 然后更新kernel [root@piaoyun-vm vmware-tools-distrib]# yum -y update kernel 检查一下 [root@piaoyun-vm vmware-tools-distrib]# rpm -qa | grep kernel Perl是必选的，否则无法安装VMWare Tools，system managerment tools，network tools必选的，否则无法上网，其他的看着选吧。 一定要重新启动，因为新安装的 kernel 要 reboot 后才生效；稍后执行 vmware-install.pl 会根据目前使用 kernel 版本去找某些档案，若不 reboot，新安装的 kernel-headers kernel-devel 若版本较新，会出现档案找不到的情况 [root@centos-vm vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl 如果安装过程中提示找不到kernel header，可以手动输入一个路径，centos在 /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.el6.i686/include，比如： Searching for a valid kernel header path... The path "" is not valid. Would you like to change it? [yes] yes What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.el6.i686/include The path "/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.el6.i686/include" appears to be a valid path to the kernel headers of the running kernel. Would you like to change it? [no] kernel-devel要安装对应版本的才行，如果添加了remi或epel源不指定版本默认安装最新版本，如果和当前版本不一致导致vmware tools安装失败，可以使用uname -r 查看当前版本，最后不得不说yum这东西真他X的方便。 二：VMware Tools的安装方法如下： VMware Tools所在位置：VMware 安装路径 \VMware\VMware Workstation\linux.iso [root@piaoyun-vm ~]# mount /cdrom # 有时可能加载不了，这时就要先将系统关闭，再手动指定 ISO 映像! # 有的时候，可能是media 就应该 cd /media 进行操作！ [root@piaoyun-vm ~]# cd /cdrom [root@piaoyun-vm ~]# ls -a [root@piaoyun-vm ~]# cp VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz /tmp [root@piaoyun-vm ~]# cd /tmp [root@piaoyun-vm ~]# tar zxpf VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz [root@piaoyun-vm ~]# cd vmware-tools-distrib [root@piaoyun-vm vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl Creating a new installer database using the tar3 format. Installing the content of the package. # 安装过程的画面，全部使用默认值，一直按 Enter 就对了 In which directory do you want to install the binary files? [/usr/bin] What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)? [/etc/rc.d] What is the directory that contains the init scripts? [/etc/rc.d/init.d] In which directory do you want to install the daemon files? [/usr/sbin] In which directory do you want to install the library files? [/usr/lib/vmware-tools] The path "/usr/lib/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This program is goingto create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want? [yes] In which directory do you want to install the documentation files? [/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools] The path "/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This program isgoing to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want? [yes] The installation of VMware Tools 5.5.1 build-19175 for Linux completed successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl". Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want this program to invoke the command for you now?
