The symbolic link output from ls above shows that the CD/DVD drive is actually named /dev/sr0 with symbolic links pointing there from both /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrw. Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Mar 10 02:44 /dev/cdrw -> sr0 Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Mar 10 02:44 /dev/cdrom -> sr0 The name probably starts with the letters cd, so let’s look for it in /dev: # ls -l /dev/cd* Let’s find out the name of our CD device in the CentOS VM. The first instruction in your saved screen capture said: Mount the virtual CD drive in the guest. Confirm that the Device Status is Connected and Use ISO image: is selected and the selected ISO image file has a basename of linux.iso.Ĥ.1 Verify that the ISO file is connected Index Verify that VMware has connected the linux.iso file to your CD/DVD: Open the VM | Settings | Hardware tab for your CentOS VM and select the CD/DVD device. It is not the same as the CentOS ISO file you downloaded to install CentOS.)
VMware will automatically find and connect a VMware Tools linux.iso file to your virtual CD/DVD device.
If, instead, there is a box at the bottom of your screen talking about the Tools, close it. If there is a Question box, click Install. Take a screen capture of what it says (or write it down) so you can follow the directions. Sometimes there is no Question box and some information appears in a small box on the bottom of your VMware window.
VMware will sometimes (not always) put up a Question box saying Click Install to connect the VMware Tools Installer CD to the virtual machine. In your host machine running VMware application select menu item VM | Install VMware Tools. We will use VMware to connect the VMware Tools ISO file to our virtual CD/DVD device: 4 Connect the VMware Tools linux.iso Index
