The installation of VMwareServer 2.0.2 for Linux completed successfully.

You can decide to remove thissoftware from your system at any time by

invoking the followingcommand: "rpm -e VMware-server".

Before running VMware Serverfor the first time, you need to

configure it for your runningkernel by invoking the

following command:"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl".

Enjoy,

進入解壓目錄，執行vmware-install.pl

[[email protected]]# cdvmware-server-distrib

[[email protected]]#./vmware-install.pl

5、配置VMware

6、Vmware管理

6.1 vmware啟動停止

啟動、停止vmware服務

[[email protected]~]#service vmware start

[[email protected]~]#service vmware stop

6.2 web控制檯訪問

Web-access的訪問URL：

https://ip:8333/ui/

這裡推薦使用https，VMware認為http也能夠訪問，但是筆者就沒有成功過。

在使用Firefox訪問的時候，需注意到關於證書的問題，點選”Oryo can add exception”，獲取證書，開啟連結後，看到web訪問的登入頁面：

7、vmware解除安裝

VMwareVIX API安裝完成，/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-vix.pl進行解除安裝，你可以先使用 /usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-vix.pl 解除安裝 VIX API，然後使用rpm解除安裝VMware Server

rpm包解除安裝：

[[email protected]~]#/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-vix.pl

[[email protected]~]#rpm -e VMware-server*
