1 In the VMWare graphical interface, set the CentOS CD-ROM drive to C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation\linux.iso, and set it according to your VM installation directory;
2 Then, start CentOS;
3 After booting, mount the CD-ROM
mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom This command is to mount the CentOS CDROM in the /mnt/cdrom directory, and you can access the contents inside;
Possible problems:
/mnt/cdrommount: mount point /mnt/cdrom does not exist -- the /mnt/cdrom directory does not exist and needs to be created first.
[root@CentOS6 /]# cd /mnt
[root@CentOS6 /]# mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom --Create /mnt/cdrom directory
[root@CentOS6 /]# mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom --mount CentOS CDROM mount mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only --mount successfully.
4 Use the files in the CD-ROM drive to install
[root@CentOS6 /]# cd /mnt/cdrom
[root@CentOS6 /]# ls -a
[root@CentOS6 /]# cp VMwareTools-8.6.1-19175.tar.gz /tmp
[root@CentOS6 /]# cd /tmp
[root@CentOS6 /]# tar zxpf VMwareTools-8.6.1-19175.tar.gz
[root@CentOS6 /]# cd vmware-tools-distrib
[root@CentOS6 vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl
Creating a new installer database using the tar3 format.
Installing the content of the package.
# The screen of the installation process, all use the default values, just keep pressing Enter.
until it appears:
To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/network stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
depmod -a
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/network start
Enjoy,
--the VMware team
If the above appears, the basic installation is complete!
5 shutdown -r now restart
6 After restarting the computer and logging in again, we will find that when we want to leave the Guest OS, we no longer need to press "Ctrl + Alt",
Now let's share the Host OS folder for the Guest OS, [VM]→[Settings]
Note: "You do not have VMware Tools installed" was originally displayed in the lower left corner. Now that we have installed VMware Tools, it will no longer be displayed;
新增要分享的数据夹：〔Options〕→〔Shared Folders〕→〔Add〕〔下一步〕点选〔Browse〕，选取要分享的数据夹，这里是以 D盘为例，上面的「Name」您可以随意输入，这里是以 test 为例「Enable this share」启用这个分享
顺利的话，我们只要到「/mnt/hgfs」数据夹，就可以看到刚刚分享的数据夹了
