RedHat Enterprise Linux Server 5.2安装VMware Server 1.0.7

在RedHat Enterprise Linux Server 5.2上安装VMware Server 1.0.7

 

1、安装前的检查工作

  A.全部GCC包都要安装

  B.libXtst-devel和libXrender-devel，这2个包要安装

  C.xinetd这个包要安装(并且这个服务要设为开机自动运行)

  注：执行yum install 相关rpm包名即可，如果yum无法安装，请参考本博的另一篇yum配置的文章。

2、下载安装包并安装

  下载后执行:rpm -ivh VMware-server-1.0.3-44356.i386.rpm，开始安装

3、配置(仅对重要参数进行说明)

  执行vmware-config.pl开始进行配置，基本上是一路回车，个别重要选项需要注意一下，以下为配置过程中的全部输出，加红色需要重点关注：

Output (make sure you setup
VMWARE as per your requirments, following is just a sample output):

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your
running kernel.  Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] 

Using compiler “/usr/bin/gcc”. Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.6.el5/build/include]

The module loads perfectly in the running kernel.

Do you want networking for your virtual machines? (yes/no/help) [yes] --为虚拟机提供网络服务，必选yes

Configuring a bridged network for vmnet0.

Your computer has multiple ethernet network interfaces available: eth0, eth1.
Which one do you want to bridge to vmnet0? [eth0] eth1 --根据你自身的网络状况选择相应的网卡，我是桥接到公网的网卡上了

The following bridged networks have been defined:

. vmnet0 is bridged to eth1

Do you wish to configure another bridged network? (yes/no) [no] 

Do you want to be able to use NAT networking in your virtual machines? (yes/no)
[yes] yes --我的虚拟机需要使用NAT，所以我选择了yes，你可以根据自身情况决定
Do you want to be able to use host-only networking in your virtual machines?
[yes]  --我的虚拟机需要使用HOST，所以我选择了yes，你可以根据自身情况决定

The default port : 902 is not free. We have selected a suitable alternative
port for VMware Server use. You may override this value now.
Remember to use this port when connecting to this server.
Please specify a port for remote console connections to use [904]  --注意此处端口，如果不是默认的902，将来在VMware Console中要指定此端口才能访问，形式为IP:此端口
WARNING: VMware Server has been configured to run on a port different from the
default port. Remember to use this port when connecting to this server.
