how to install VMWare Player on RHEL6?
I am new to Red Hat Linux. I built my machine this past Xmas and chose RHEL6 as the OS.
Now, I want to install VMWare Player so I can install Windows 7 as a VM. I have successfully downloaded VMWare Player, but don't know the commands to go from the download folder to installation. The file is a tar file. Q. What are the commands to install? Where do I want to install it? Thanks! |
RHEL 6 has KVM built in , there is no need to buy vmware
well you do have a paid for license ? right? have you read the documentation on red hat web site ? https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/ https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/...erprise_Linux/ or do a search of the knowledge base https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/search |
KVM
John VV,
Thank you for pointing that out! I will use KVM. Q. Another question: If I allocate memory and CPUs to the virtual machine I create, does that mean that I am effectively taking away memory and CPUs from the base machine? Is this only when the virtual machine is opened and running, correct? If I do not open the virtual machine, then the base machine should have 100% capacity of the memory and CPUs, correct? Or is this an allocation that will forever take away my resources? |
