一般虚拟机的常见场景是在WINDOWS下安装Linux虚拟机,但是有一些情况需要倒过来,比如在Linux下安装VMware虚拟机来反过来安装WINDOWS.
一.RHEL版本的VMWare的安装
可以从官网下载安装程序,VMWare Server是免费的,你可以从看到相关说明
http://info.vmware.com/content/GLP_VMwareServer
我使用提 VMware-server-1.0.10-203137.i386.rpm这个安装包.
在命令行下执行如下命令安装
rpm -ivh VMware-server-1.0.10-203137.i386.rpm

成功后,直接执行vmware,第一次运行提醒需要运行vmware-config.pl 进行配置.
[root@hxy tools]# vmware
vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command:
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.
配置过程,主要都采用缺省值
[root@hxy tools]# /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl

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]

二.配置安装虚拟机
完成配置后在图形界面,菜单里会多了一项VMWare Server Console启动,运行开始虚拟机,首先要创建一个虚拟机,按图形的提示进行配置就好，很简单。
三.关于缺省的bridge网卡的修改
在虚拟机运行后,用ifconfig 查看会看到
vmnet0 ,vmnet1 这个网络节点.这就几个虚拟网卡描述
缺省网桥是绑定的第一个以太网卡了,但是很多时候需要将其重新切换到无线网卡,或者其它网卡,比如USB网卡的网卡. 但是很奇怪,LINUX版的VMWare没有提供Windows版中的虚拟网络切换.
经过检索实验发现,可以通过修改配置文件.VMWare的配置文件是在
/etc/vmware/locations
在这个文件里有很多句
answer VNET_0_INTERFACE eth0
remove_answer VNET_0_INTERFACE
answer VNET_0_INTERFACE eth0
remove_file /dev/vmnet0
将eth0全部置换成你需要绑定的网卡名字,如wlan0,usb0等.(注意这个文章里有很多重复,要全部修改!)
修改完毕后,重启VMWare
/etc/init.d/vmware restart
或
service vmware restart
