    VMware Workstation/Player hypervisors driver

    +

    + The libvirt VMware Workstation driver should be able to manage any Workstation and + Player version supported by the VMware VIX API. See the compatibility list + here. +

    +

    + This driver uses the "vmrun" utility which is distributed with the VMware VIX API. + You can download the VIX API from here. + +

    Connections to VMware driver

    + +

    + The libvirt VMware driver provides per-user drivers (the "session" instance). + Two uris are available: +

    + 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)
+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)
+
    + +
