在CentOS_Linux版虚拟机中安装VMTools工具

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 本地的OS 和 CentOS 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！

 

图一

 

看到图一中，图标1这里，表示没有安装“VMware Tools” ,要在“VM”选项中点击“Install VMware Tools”进行安装！！！如图标2！！！

 

图二，

在图二中，点击“Install”进行安装VMware Tools!!!

 

图三，

在图三中有二个种安装方式，简单的就在图三中，直接点击：“应用”就想WIN中安装软件，下一步下一步就可以了。。。这里就不做介绍了。。。

 

我们这一次主要是用“VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz ”来安装VMTools工具！

 

[root@localhost ~]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt        #加载CDROM设备

 

//这时如果进入 /mnt 目录下，你将会发现多了一个文件： VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz 。这就是WMWARE TOOLS的LINUX软件包，

mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/cdrom already mounted or /mnt busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdc is already mounted on /mnt
[root@localhost ~]# cp /mnt/VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz /tmp    //将该软件包拷贝到CentOS的tmp目录下
[root@localhost ~]# cd /tmp      #进入tmp目录        
[root@localhost tmp]# tar zxf VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz     //压缩该软件包，默认解压到vmware-linux-distrib目录下（与文件名同名）。

[root@localhost tmp]# ls    //查看一下tmp目录下的文件和文件夹
gconfd-root                                 scim-panel-socket:0-root
keyring-7JZqvI                              scim-socket-frontend-root
keyring-ReIvNv                              ssh-YBJsXe2479

orbit-root                                  virtual-root.SjEmT1
scim-bridge-0.3.0.lockfile-0@localhost:0.0  VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz
scim-bridge-0.3.0.socket-0@localhost:0.0    vmware-tools-distrib
scim-helper-manager-socket-root
[root@localhost tmp]# cd vmware-tools-distrib      //进入vmware-tools-distrib  文件夹

[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]# ls    //查看文件夹中的文件，找到对应的安装文件 *.pl（这里是vmware-install.pl）
bin  doc  etc  FILES  INSTALL  installer  lib  vmware-install.pl

[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl       //开始安装

The installation of VMware Tools 6.0.2 build-59824 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? [yes] yes

Enjoy,

CentOS重启。。。就可以看到图一中图标1中变成下图所显示。。。说明VMTools安装成功了。。。

图四

 

一种奇怪的现象发生了： 重新启动CentOS之后，当我们要离开 CentOS 的时候，不再需要按 Ctrl + Alt 了!

现在我们来共享 WINXP_OS 的文件夹给 CentOS 使用

图五

如图五，进入VM的“编辑虚拟机设置”

 

 

这就是共享完毕的画面，然后我们就到 CentOS 内看看可不可以读取到刚刚共享的目录

 

在「/mnt/hgfs」文件夹，看到了刚刚共享的文件夹“text” ...到这里，此实验就成功完成了。。。
