+ <h1>VMware Workstation/Player hypervisors driver</h1>
+ <p>
+ The libvirt VMware Workstation driver should be able to manage any Workstation
and
+ Player version supported by the VMware VIX API. See the compatibility list
+ <a
href="http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/vix110_referen...;.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This driver uses the "vmrun" utility which is distributed with the VMware
VIX API.
+ You can download the VIX API from <a
href="http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/">here...;.
+
+ <h2>Connections to VMware driver</h2>
+
+ <p>
+ The libvirt VMware driver provides per-user drivers (the "session"
instance).
+ Two uris are available:
+ <ul>
+ <li>"vmwareplayer" for VMware Player</li>
+ <li>"vmwarews" for VMware Workstation</li>
+ </ul>
+ Some example connection URIs for the driver are:
+ </p>
+
+<pre>
+vmwareplayer:///session (local access to VMware Player per-user
instance)
+vmwarews:///session (local access to VMware Workstation per-user
instance)
+vmwarews+tcp://user@example.com/session (remote access to VMware Workstation,
SASl/Kerberos)
+vmwarews+ssh://user@example.com/session (remote access to VMware Workstation, SSH
tunnelled)
