esxi中的虚拟机安装vmware tools

概述

说实在的这个很简单，我就是记录下，对于windows我就不说了，linux下无论有没有图形界面你都得去使用命令去安装这个东西因此我就介绍一下

操做

首先选中咱们的虚拟机，选择操做->客户机操做系统->安装vmware tools

以后ssh进入咱们的虚拟机

建立一个挂载点，其实就是建立一个目录

mkdir /cdrom

以后挂载vmware tools的光盘到这个目录

sudo mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom/

这个时候会报一个提示只读的一句话，不用管它，把里面的文件复制出来

mkdir vmware-tools && cp -Rf /cdrom/* vmware-tools

复制完成以后进入里面解压里面那个压缩包

tar -zxvf VMwareTools-10.2.1-8267844.tar.gz

以后执行安装脚本

./vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl

安装过程差很少就是下面这个样子

[root@bboysoul-centos vmware-tools]# ./vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl 
open-vm-tools packages are available from the OS vendor and VMware recommends
