I had installed the vmware server ( VMware-server-2.0.1-156745.i386 ) on my CentOS 5 box how ever i am not able to to find the command vmware-server-console . Do i need to install that RPM separately .
The console app is a Firefox plugin, but I extract the app and run it separately and find that solution (hack?) much better.
From memory, here is how you do that: 1. Get a copy of vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi (mine was in /usr/lib/vmware/webAccess/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/webapps/ui/plugin/vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi) 2. Rename the file to vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi.zip 3. Unzip the file
Now run vmware-vmrc or pass some info like capitalized below: vmware-vmrc -h HOST:PORT -u USER -p PASSWORD
:D
Awesome!!! Just tried it and it works wonderfully. Now I don't need to boot into that XP partition anymore... Thank you!
