4、tar.gz包安装vmware
解压缩, 完成后产生vmware-server-distrib文件夹
[root@xml-ora1 software]# tar -zxvf VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.x86_64.tar.gz
进入解压目录，运行vmware-install.pl
[root@xml-ora1software]# cdvmware-server-distrib
[root@xml-ora1software]#./vmware-install.pl
5、配置VMware
[root@xml-ora1 ~]# /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
Making sure services forVMware Server are stopped.

6、Vmware管理
6.1 vmware启动停止
启动、停止vmware服务
[root@xml-ora1~]#service vmware start
[root@xml-ora1~]#service vmware stop
6.2 web控制台访问
Web-access的访问URL：
https://ip:8333/ui/
这里推荐使用https，VMware认为http也能够访问，但是笔者就没有成功过。
在使用Firefox访问的时候，需注意到关于证书的问题，点击”Oryo can add exception”，获取证书，打开链接后，看到web访问的登录页面：
7、vmware卸载
VMwareVIX API安装完成，/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-vix.pl进行卸载，你可以先使用 /usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-vix.pl 卸载 VIX API，然后使用rpm卸载VMware Server
rpm包卸载：
[root@xml-ora1~]#/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-vix.pl
[root@xml-ora1~]#rpm -e VMware-server*
