Linux虚拟机VMware Workstation中安装VMware Tools
更新虚拟机中的显卡驱动, 使虚拟机中的XWindows可以运行在SVGA模式下。在客户操作系统中安装VMware Tools非常重要。如果不安装VMware Tools，虚拟机中的图形环境被限制为VGA模式图形(640x480，16色)。使用VMware Tools，SVGA 驱动程序被安装，VMware Workstation 支持最高 32 位显示和高显示分辨率，显著提升总体的图形性能。
在主机和客户机之间时间同步。注意: 只有当你在客户操作系统中设置时钟为一个比在主机中设置的时间更早的时间时，才可以在客户和主机操作系统之间同步时间。
支持同一个分区的真实启动和从虚拟机中启动, 自动修改相应的设置文件。
自动捕获和释放鼠标光标。未安装VMware Tools的时候只能用Ctrl+Alt来释放鼠标，安装VMware Tools后可以实现虚拟机和主机图形用户界面之间平滑移动鼠标光标。
在主机和客户机之间或者从一台虚拟机到另一台虚拟机进行复制和粘贴操作。
改善网络性能，使虚拟机网卡从百兆变成千兆网卡。
安装VMware tools的方法：
虚拟机开机自动连接镜像
第一步：点击VM---->Install VMware Tools
第二步：弹出来文件夹
第三步：查看tar包的属性，即它所在的目录
第四步：进入源码包所在的目录，从镜像中复制到/tmp文件夹中
[root@linux6-2 ~]# df -h |grep -i vmware
/dev/sr0 58M 58M 0 100% /media/VMware Tools
[root@linux6-2 ~]# cd /media/VMware\ Tools/
[root@linux6-2 VMware Tools]# ls
manifest.txt VMwareTools-8.8.2-590212.tar.gz
[root@linux6-2 VMware Tools]# cp VMwareTools-8.8.2-590212.tar.gz /tmp
第五步：解压包，解压后生成vmware-tools-distrib目录
[root@linux6-2 VMware Tools]# cd /tmp/
[root@linux6-2 tmp]# chmod +x VMwareTools-8.8.2-590212.tar.gz
[root@linux6-2 tmp]# tar zxf VMwareTools-8.8.2-590212.tar.gz
[root@linux6-2 tmp]# ls |grep -i vmware
VMwareTools-8.8.2-590212.tar.gz
vmware-tools-distrib
[root@linux6-2 vmware-tools-distrib]# ls
bin doc etc FILES INSTALL installer lib vmware-install.pl
第六步：用vmware-install.pl安装，基本上都是默认选择，一直回车即可

Creating a new initrd boot image for the kernel.
vmware-tools start/running
The configuration of VMware Tools 8.8.2 build-590212 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.
You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.
You can now run VMware Tools by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd" from the
command line or by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" from the command line
during an X server session.
To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.
