Linux ( CentOS ) にvmwaretoolsのインストールを実施します。これはESXi上からゲストOSのパワーオンやパワーオフなどの実施、またGUIのパフォーマンス改善などを実施するものであり、インストールしなくとも実サービスに影響がでるものではありません。また、vSphere HAを構成した際にハートビートに使用されたり、その他、悪影響がでるものではありませんのでゲストOSには全てインストールしておきましょう。
■VMwareToolsのインストール
他のサイトなどではGnomeなどのGUI上でインストールする例はありましたので、ここではCUI上でインストール例をとりあげます。
ESXi上のコンソール画面上から「仮想マシン」メニューの「ゲスト」-「VMware Toolsのインストール/アップグレード」を選択します。
以下の画面が表示されますのでOKボタンをクリックします。
mountコマンドでVMwareToolsを取り出します。
# mount /dev/cdrom /media mount: ブロックデバイス /dev/sr0 は書き込み禁止です、読込み専用でマウントします # cp /media/VMwareTools-9.4.0-1280544.tar.gz ~ |
これを解凍して以下のようにインストールを行います。インストール途中でいろいろと質問されますが、そのままEnterでOKです。
