VMware Workstation for Linux without X

  • X11Forwardingを用いることで、Xが入っていないホストでも動作可能
  • インストーラをX11forward経由で起動する場合、root権限が必要となる関係からroot login via sshが必要となる
  • CygwinのX Serverでも十分実用に耐える
  • 以下のようなエラーが出て、ゲストを起動できないことがある 
    Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.
    • lsmod | grep vm で何も出ない場合は、sudo service vmware start

3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64

  • vmware を再起動 -> 自動でモジュールがビルドされる

input underscore to Guest OS

  • 元々、次のような注意がゲスト起動のたびに表示される

  • アンダースコア以外の入力は正常
    • 半角全角等も問題ない
    • '_' (Shift+\) は '|' になる

.vmware/config

  • mitty@hades:~$ cat > .vmware/config 
    xkeymap.language = jp106
xkeymap.keycode.211 = 0x073
  • mitty@hades:~$ sudo service vmware restart

kernel update

  • ホストのカーネルがバージョンアップしバージョンナンバーが変わるとカーネルモジュールのリビルドが必要
  • vmwareコマンドでGUIを起動しようとすると、自動でリビルドが走る
    • rootで実行しないといけない場合がある模様

kernel.sched_compat_yield

  • マルチコア(マルチCPU)構成のゲストを起動しようとすると、以下の質問をされる

    The host's Linux kernel yield() functionality is disabled. Multiprocessor virtual machines exhibit degraded performance without yield(). Choose 'OK' to enable the sysctl 'kernel.sched_compat_yield' or 'Cancel' to continue without yield().

    • ここでOKとすると、一時的に /proc/sys/kernel/sched_compat_yield = 1 となるが、再起動するとこの設定は揮発する
    • /etc/sysctl.d/30-vmware-player 
      kernel.sched_compat_yield=1
    • ファイル名に.confが付かないと読み込まれないので、ファイル名を変更する
    • $ sudo mv /etc/sysctl.d/30-vmware-player /etc/sysctl.d/30-vmware-player.conf

Promiscuous Mode

  • デフォルトではPromiscuous Modeは仮想NICに対して使用出来ない
  • ​vmware:287 Using Virtual Ethernet Adapters in Promiscuous Mode on a Linux Host

    VMware software does not allow the virtual Ethernet adapter to go into promiscuous mode unless the user running the VMware software has permission to make that setting. This follows the standard Linux practice that only root can put a network interface into promiscuous mode.

    One way to do this is to create a new group, add the appropriate users to the group, and give that group read/write access to the appropriate device. These changes need to be made on the host operating system as root (su). For example: 

    chgrp newgroup /dev/vmnet0
chmod g+rw /dev/vmnet0

    If you want all users to be able to set the virtual network adapter (/dev/vmnet0 in our example) to promiscuous mode, you can simply run the following command on the host operating system as root: 

    chmod a+rw /dev/vmnet0
    • Hostを再起動すると元に戻るので注意(udevの設定をする必要があると書かれているが未検証)
