VMware Workstation下Centos安装VMware Tools的解决方法



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

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]

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? [yes]
