VMware Workstation / Player / Fusion hypervisors driver
|
||
|
|
=======================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The libvirt VMware driver should be able to manage any Workstation, Player,
|
||
|
|
Fusion version supported by the VMware VIX API. See the compatibility list
|
||
|
|
`here <https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/vix110_reference/>`__.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This driver uses the "vmrun" utility which is distributed with the VMware VIX
|
||
|
|
API. You can download the VIX API from
|
||
|
|
`here <https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/>`__.

Connections to VMware driver
|
||
|
|
----------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The libvirt VMware driver provides per-user drivers (the "session" instance).
|
||
|
|
Three uris are available:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- "vmwareplayer" for VMware Player
|
||
|
|
- "vmwarews" for VMware Workstation
|
||
|
|
- "vmwarefusion" for VMware Fusion
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some example connection URIs for the driver are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vmwareplayer:///session (local access to VMware Player per-user instance)
|
||
|
|
vmwarews:///session (local access to VMware Workstation per-user instance)
|
||
|
|
vmwarefusion:///session (local access to VMware Fusion per-user instance)
|
||
|
|
vmwarews+tcp://user@example.com/session (remote access to VMware Workstation, SASl/Kerberos)
|
||
|
|
vmwarews+ssh://user@example.com/session (remote access to VMware Workstation, SSH tunnelled)
|
||
|
|
|
