如何给Red Hat Linux安装Vmware Tools

Answer 1

第1步:在虚拟软件中选择“安装/重新安装VMware Tools(T)”：
第2步:安装VMwareTools功能增加包（请用root用户登陆系统）：
创建/media/cdrom目录:
[root@linuxprobe ~]# mkdir -p /media/cdrom

将光驱设备挂载到该目录上：
[root@linuxprobe ~]# mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

进入到该挂载目录：
[root@linuxprobe ~]# cd /media/cdrom

将功能增强包复制到/home目录中：
[root@linuxprobe cdrom]# cp VMwareTools-9.9.0-2304977.tar.gz /home

进入到/home目录中：
[root@linuxprobe cdrom]# cd /home

解压功能增强包：
root@linuxprobe home]# tar xzvf VMwareTools-9.9.0-2304977.tar.gz
vmware-tools-distrib/
vmware-tools-distrib/FILES
vmware-tools-distrib/doc/
vmware-tools-distrib/doc/open_source_licenses.txt
vmware-tools-distrib/doc/INSTALL
vmware-tools-distrib/doc/README
vmware-tools-distrib/installer/
vmware-tools-distrib/installer/services.sh
vmware-tools-distrib/installer/guestproxy-ssl.conf
vmware-tools-distrib/installer/thinprint.sh
vmware-tools-distrib/installer/upstart-job.conf
………………此处省略解压过程细节………………

进入解压文件夹中：
[root@linuxprobe home]# cd vmware-tools-distrib/

运行安装脚本并加上参数-d，代表默认安装：
[root@linuxprobe vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl -d
The installer has detected an existing installation of open-vm-tools on this
system and will not attempt to remove and replace these user-space
applications. It is recommended to use the open-vm-tools packages provided by
the operating system. If you do not want to use the existing installation of
open-vm-tools and attempt to install VMware Tools, you must uninstall the
open-vm-tools packages and re-run this installer.
The installer will next check if there are any missing kernel drivers. Type yes
if you want to do this, otherwise type no [yes]
………………省略部分安装过程………………
当您看到这个字样后，重启后即可正常使用VmwareTools啦。
Creating a new initrd boot image for the kernel.
Starting Virtual Printing daemon: done
Starting vmware-tools (via systemctl): [ OK ]
The configuration of VMware Tools 9.9.0 build-2304977 for Linux for this
running kernel completed successfully.
Enjoy,

第3步：重新启动系统后生效：
[root@linuxprobe ~]# reboot
