在 Linux 上安装和配置 VMware Server 2 的 4 个简单步骤

VMware Server 在现有主机操作系统（Linux 或 Windows）之上运行，如下所示。这是开始使用 VMware 的快速方法。

1.下载VMware服务器2

转到VMware 服务器下载页面。VMware Server 2 是免费的。但是，您应该在 VMware 网站上注册以获取许可证密钥。

在下载页面上，可以使用以下下载选项。就我而言，我下载了二进制 .rpm 格式。

• 适用于 Windows 操作系统的 VMware Server 2 – 二进制 .exe 格式
• 适用于 Linux 操作系统的 VMware Server 2 – 二进制 .gz 格式
• 适用于 Linux 操作系统的 VMware Server 2 – 二进制 .rpm 格式

2.安装VMware Server 2

如下所示安装 VMware Server 2.0.2 rpm。

# rpm -ivh VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.rpm

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
1:VMware-server          ########################################### [100%]

The installation of VMware Server 2.0.2 for Linux completed successfully.
You can decide to remove this software from your system at any time by
invoking the following command: "rpm -e VMware-server".

Before running VMware Server for the first time, you need to
configure it for your running kernel by invoking the
following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl".

Enjoy,

3. 使用 vmware-config.pl 配置 VMware Server 2

执行 vmware-config.pl，如下所示。确保输入您从 vmware 网站获得的相应序列号。

接受一切的默认值。vmware-config.pl 的部分输出如下所示。

# /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl

4. 转到 VMware Infrastructure Webaccess

作为 vmware-config.pl 的一部分，它启动所有必需的 VMware 服务并添加到启动脚本中。要验证所有 VMware 脚本是否在启动期间正确启动，请重新启动服务器。

转至 https://{host-os-ip}:8333/ui 以访问 VMware Infrastructure Web 访问控制台。这将提示输入登录名和密码，如下所示。登录名是根。密码是主机操作系统根密码。
