三、安装 VMware Server Management Interface on Linux

    安装好此软件包后，可以通过浏覽器（以加密SSL方式）控制机器（可以进行重启，关机等操作，默认使用8333端口）。安装程序会提问一些问题，并同时给出缺省的答案。

    1. 切换到超级用户权限

    $ su -
    Password:
    [root@localhost root]# cd vmware-server-distrib

    2. 开始安装

    #wget http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmserver/VMware-mui-1.0.2-39867.tar.gz
    #tar VMware-mui-1.0.2-39867.tar.gz ；cd /tmp/vmware-mui-distrib
    #./vmware-install.pl

    3. 阅读接受终端用户许可协议

    Do you accept? (yes/no) yes #接受许可协议

    4. 选择二进制文件安装路径

    # In which directory do you want to install the binary files?
    [/usr/bin]
    What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)?
    [/etc/rc.d] #选择初始化目录安装路径
    What is the directory that contains the init scripts?
    [/etc/rc.d/init.d] #选择初始化脚本文件安装路径
    In which directory do you want to install the VMware Management Interface files?
    [/usr/lib/vmware-mui]
    The path “/usr/lib/vmware-mui” does not exist currently. This program is going tocreate it, including needed parentdirectories. Is this what you want? [yes]
    In which directory would you like to install the documentation files?
    [/usr/lib/vmware-mui/doc] #选择文档文件安装路径
    The path “/usr/lib/vmware-mui/doc” does not exist currently. This program is going
    to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want? [yes]

    5．设置vmware-config-mui.pl配置文件

    Before running VMware Management Interface for the first time, you need to
    configure it by invoking the following command:
    “/usr/bin/vmware-config-mui.pl”. Do you want this program to invoke the command
    for you now? [yes]

    6. 设置最大闲置时间单位分种

    Set the number of minutes before an http session times out. (This is the length
    of time before someone connecting to VMware Management Interface will be logged
    out) [60]

    7.安装成功

    如果系统设定成功会出现图12 界面。

    到此为止我们已经成功配置了Linux 下的Vmware Server和VMware Server Management，后边笔者将介绍Linux 下使用它们建立、管理各种虚拟机，敬请关注。
