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下不管有没有图形界面你都得去使用命令去安装这个东西所以我就介绍一下

操作

首先选中我们的虚拟机，选择操作->客户机操作系统->安装vmware tools

之后ssh进入我们的虚拟机

创建一个挂载点，其实就是创建一个目录

mkdir /cdrom

之后挂载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

复制完成之后进入里面解压里面那个压缩包

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

之后执行安装脚本

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

安装过程差不多就是下面这个样子

[root@bboysoul-centos vmware-tools]# ./vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl 
open-vm-tools packages are available from the OS vendor and VMware recommends 
using open-vm-tools packages. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2073803 for more
