情景：在vcenter虚拟化平台中看不到机器的ip，想知道ip得进入命令窗口通过命令获得，非常麻烦，然后可以通过安装vmware-tools可以解决，但直接点击安装又不行，就只能手动安装了，以下是我在安装过程中遇到的问题和优质的解决方案，本人是用第二种方法解决的

注：对于较新的 Linux 发行版，系统会提示用户选择集成的 open-vm-tools。

1、安装VMware Tools

2、挂载

3、命令安装

##挂载cdrom到/mnt目录
[root@localhost /]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
mount: /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[root@localhost /]# 

##切换至/mnt目录
[root@localhost /]# cd /mnt/
[root@localhost mnt]# 

##复制VMware Tools安装包至/tmp目录
[root@localhost mnt]# cp VMwareTools-10.3.23-17030940.tar.gz  /tmp/
[root@localhost mnt]# 
[root@localhost mnt]# 

##切换至/tmp目录
[root@localhost mnt]# cd /tmp/

##解压安装包
[root@localhost tmp]# tar zxf VMwareTools-10.3.23-17030940.tar.gz 
[root@localhost tmp]# 

##切换入解压后的目录
