<h1>VMware Workstation / Player / Fusion hypervisors driver</h1>
<p>
The libvirt VMware driver should be able to manage any Workstation,
Player, Fusion version supported by the VMware VIX API. See the
compatibility list
<a href="https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/vix110_reference/">here</a>.
</p>
<p>
This driver uses the "vmrun" utility which is distributed with the VMware VIX API.
You can download the VIX API
from <a href="https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/">here</a>.

vmwarefusion:///session (local access to VMware Fusion per-user instance)
