ESXi 平台内 Linux 虚拟机安装 VMware Tools ，VMT 可以使得虚拟机和宿主机更好的交互，为一些操作提供更便利的方式和体验。
前言
未安装 VMT 的时候，可以看到有安装建议。
安装
在 Linux 中安装 VMT 时，若系统已经安装 GUI 环境，可以直接在文件管理器中进行界面化安装。
本文演示若没有安装图形界面，应如何安装 VMT。点击提示中的「Action」按钮，然后选择 「Install VMware Tools」。
即可将安装光盘挂载至 Linux 系统，本文以 Debian 10 buster 为例进行演示。
为了操作方便，切换至 root 用户。
sudo su - root挂载安装盘
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
mount: /mnt: WARNING: device write-protected, mounted read-only.然后检查下目录结构
# ls /mnt
manifest.txt VMwareTools-10.3.22-15902021.tar.gz vmware-tools-upgrader-64
run_upgrader.sh vmware-tools-upgrader-32解压安装包
将安装文件解压至临时文件夹
tar -C /tmp/ -xf /mnt/VMwareTools-10.3.22-15902021.tar.gz解压后取消光盘挂载
umount /mnt安装工具包
进入工具包文件夹，检查目录结构
# ls -l /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
