Vmware Player Vmrun
Virsh is my favorite cmdline for KVM management. You may wonder if there is sth similar for VMware or want to run VMware without GUI. Here is goes - vmrun. I have Xubuntu 14.04 and I have installed VMware Player from the official website. VM Player runs fine, no problem. But I can't find utility vmrun, it's not found. VMware Player does not support VM snapshot operations. So you cannot take a snapshot of VMware Player VMs using vmrun. But if your VM was created using VMware.
I have been using VMware workstation for some time but recently switched to VMware player 3.0, (largely due to irritating instllation problems for Workstation 6.5.3 under Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64). With Workstation, I use the vmrun command to shut down all my virtual machines. Despite downloading the latest version of Vmware-vix (1.8.1), vmrun suspend generates this error message: Unable to connect to host Error: Service type VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_WORKSTATION My reading of the documentation seemed to suggest that vmrun shoudl work with Player as well as Workstation.
Please could someone help me understand what' I'm missing here? Bronstein Mathematics Handbook Pdf more.
