VMWare Tools installation on VMWare Fusion OEL 6.5 VM.
VMWare Tools helps you copy and paste between Host and Guest.
It also makes Host shares available to Guest.
As root.
Make sure kernel stuff is available.
This is required for host shares to work.
yum -y install kernel-uek-headers-`uname -r` yum -y install kernel-uek-devel-`uname -r`
VMWare Tools CD probably automounted in /media
cd /media ls VMware Tools
Copy VMWare Tools
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom cp /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-9.6.2-1688356.tar.gz . gunzip VMwareTools-9.6.2-1688356.tar.gz tar xvf VMwareTools-9.6.2-1688356.tar
Run install script (Perl)
cd vmware-tools-distrib/ perl vmware-install.pl
Make Host share available in VMWare Fusion -> Settings -> Shares.
Restart Guest
shutdown -r now

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.
You can now run VMware Tools by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd" from the
command line.
To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.
Enjoy,
