VMwareをダウンロードし、ライセンスキーを取得する

VMwareのホームページから こちら にアクセスし、ライセンスキーをメールで送ってもらいます。ライセンスキーはメールに添付されています。 メール本文にも内容が書いてありますので、添付メールが読めないメーラーを使っている人も大丈夫です。

VMware本体はRPM versionをダウンロードします。 ライセンスキーは、30日間のお試し版です。機能制限はありませんが、30日経つと、ゲストOSが起動できなくなります。

Workstation版、Express版、アカデミック版などの製品ラインナップがあります。価格については こちらに書いてあります。

VMwareをインストールする

インストールに入ります。インストール途中スクリプトを実行しなくてはいけないのですが、 その時モジュールのコンパイルという作業が必要になるかも知れません。
VMware標準で持っているモジュールが、現在Linuxで動いているカーネルに合っていれば、モジュールのコンパイルは行われません。 たいていの場合、コンパイルが必要になると思います。カーネルのヘッダーファイルがインストールされているか確認しましょう。
$ rpm -q kernel-headers
ダウンロードしたディレクトリに移動し、インストールします。
# rpm -ivh VMware-2.0.1-570.i386.rpm
インストールしたら、perlスクリプトを実行します。ロケールを"c"にしてから実行します。 これは、カーネルの再構築などをしたらそのたびにやり直さなければいけないようです。
私の場合は、以下のようになりました。
# LANGUAGE=c  vmware-config.pl
Making sure VMware's services are stopped.

Stopping VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor                                 [  OK  ]

END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR VMWARE SOFTWARE Notice to User:

This  End User License Agreement (EULA) is a CONTRACT between you
(either an individual  or  a  single  entity)  and  VMware,  Inc.
(VMware),  which  covers  your use of the VMware software product
that accompanies this EULA and related software components, which
may  include associated media, printed materials, and "online" or
electronic documentation. All such software and materials are re-
ferred  to  herein  as the "Software Product." A software license
and a license key or serial number ("Software Product  License"),
issued  to  a  designated  user  only by VMware or its authorized
agents, is required for each user of the Software Product. If you
do  not  agree  to the terms of this EULA, then do not install or
use the Software Product or the Software Product License. By  ex-
plicitly accepting this EULA, however, or by installing, copying,
downloading, accessing, or otherwise using the  Software  Product
and/or Software Product License, you are acknowledging and agree-
ing to be bound by the following terms:

1. WARNING -- (for  Evaluation  Licenses  only).   This  Software
Product  can  be used in conjunction with a free evaluation Soft-
ware Product License. If you are using such an  evaluation  Soft-
ware  Product  License,  you may use the Software Product only to
evaluate its suitability for purchase. Evaluation Software  Prod-
uct  Licenses  have an expiration date. VMWARE BEARS NO LIABILITY
FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM USE (OR ATTEMPTED  USE  AFTER  THE
EXPIRATION DATE) OF THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT, AND HAS NO DUTY TO PRO-
VIDE ANY SUPPORT.

2. GRANT OF NON-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE.

.    Software Product License.   The  Software  Product  License,
which is issued to a designated user, enables such designated us-
er to use the Software Product on a single computer system.  Each
user  on a multi-user computer system who uses the Software Prod-
uct requires an additional Software Product License.  You may not
modify  or  create  derivative copies of the Software Product Li-
cense.

.    Grant of License.  Subject  to  a  validly  issued  Software
Product  License,  VMware  grants  to you the non-exclusive, non-
transferable right for you to use the Software Product on a  sin-
gle  computer  running  a  validly licensed copy of the operating
system for which the Software Product was designed.  You may  not
modify  or create derivative copies of the Software Product.  All
rights not expressly granted to you are retained by VMware.

.    Shared Computing Laboratory Use.  For shared  use  computing
laboratory environments within academic institutions, profession-
al certification and  training  centers,  and  quality  assurance
groups,  the  license grant above shall be modified to permit use
of the Software Product on a single computer system  without  the
limitation  that such use be limited to the designated user; pro-
vided that any such user agree to and abide by the terms of  this
EULA;  provided  further that you must acquire and dedicate a li-
cense for each separate computer system  on  which  the  Software
Product is installed.  Under this shared computing laboratory use
license, a computing laboratory at an academic institution having
ten  computers  loaded with the Software Product on which no more
than five users would concurrently access and  use  the  Software
Product,  for example, would require ten Software Product Licens-
es.  Unless the computing laboratory is operated  and  maintained
by and within an academic institution, professional certification
and training center, or quality  assurance  group,  this  limited
shared use license does not apply.  No other shared or concurrent
use of the Software Product  is  permitted.  You  may  not  rent,
lease, sublicense, or lend the Software Product.

.    Backup Copy: Software Product.  You may make copies of Soft-
ware Product as  reasonably  necessary  for  the  use  authorized
above,  including  as needed for backup and/or archival purposes.
No other copies may be made.  Each copy must reproduce all  copy-
right  and other proprietary rights notices on or in the Software
Product.  .    Backup Copy: Software Product  License.   You  may
install each Software Product License on a single computer system
and make copies of the Software Product License as necessary only
for  backup  and/or  archival  purposes.   No other copies may be
made.  Each copy must reproduce all copyright and  other  propri-
etary rights notices on or in the Software Product License.

3.  LICENSES  REQUIRED FOR GUEST OPERATING SYSTEMS.  The Software
Product allows additional  operating  systems  ("Guest  Operating
Systems")  to run on a computer system. You must have a valid li-
censed copy of each Guest Operating System for such use.  In  the
event that the Software Product includes a valid licensed copy of
a Guest Operating System for pre-installation in  a  virtual  ma-
chine, the use of such Guest Operating System shall be defined by
the EULA for that Guest Operating System.  By explicitly  accept-
ing this EULA, or by installing, copying, downloading, accessing,
or otherwise using the Software Product and/or  Software  Product
License,  you  are  acknowledging and agreeing to be bound by the
terms of EULA for the pre-installed Guest Operating System, which
terms accompany the Guest Operating System.

This system appears to have a CIFS/SMB server (Samba) configured for normal use.
If this server is intended to run, you need to make sure that it will not 
conflict with the Samba server setup on the private network (the one that we use
to share the host filesystem). Please check your /etc/smb.conf file so that:

. The "interfaces" line does not contain "192.168.49.1/255.255.255.0"
. There is a "socket address" line that contains only your real host IP address

以上が終ったら、一般ユーザーに戻り、VMWAREを実行しましょう。
$ vmware &
実行すると、以下のダイアログが出ます。



[OK]を押し、次のウィザードをキャンセルし、VMWAREを終了します。
ホームディレクトリに.vmwareディレクトリができますので、メールで送られてきたライセンスキーをコピーします。
$ cp license-_184799_00 .vmware
次にもう一度VMwareを起動するのですが、ウィザードを実行する時のみ以下のように実行します。
$ LANGUAGE=c  vmware &
上記のようにいったん英語環境にしないと、ウィザードを正常に実行できません

●Run the Configuration Wizard を選択し、[Next]を押します。
●バーチャルマシンにインストールしたいOSを選択し[NEXT]を押します。VMwareのパフォーマンスが良くなるそうです。
●バーチャルマシンのディレクトリを設定します。ホームディレクトリの下で良いでしょう。
●どのディスクにインストールするか設定します。[New virtual disk]を選び、ファイルとしてバーチャルマシンを設定します
●ディスクのサイズを設定します。1000MBにしました。
●CD-ROM、FDドライブの設定をします。両方とも[enabled]にしました。自分のマシンの存在しない場合は[disabled]を選択します。
●ネットワーク設定は、[Bridged and host-only networking]を設定しました。
●最後に[DONE]を押し、ウィザードを終了します。

power onボタンを押すと、バーチャルマシンが起動します。



以後、VMWAREを起動するときは、vmware と入力します。LANGUAGE=Cは必要ありません。2回目以降に起動すると次の ダイアログが立ち上がります。



初回起動時に作成したコンフィグファイルを指定し、[OK]ボタンを押し、Power onするとバーチャルマシンが立ち上がります。

■まとめ
  1. ライセンスを登録する
  2. VMwareをインターネットからダウンロードする
  3. VMwareをインストールする
  4. perlスクリプトを実行する
  5. VMwareを起動する すぐ終了する
  6. 再びVMwareを起動する
  7. ウィザードを実行する
  8. power onする

ゲストOSをインストールする

さあ、いよいよOSをインストールします。私はWindows98をインストールしました。
起動ディスクを使ってブートしてもよいし、CDROMからブートしてもよいです。いつものようにインストールしましょう。 ただし、SCSI接続のCDROMからのインストールに関してはわかりません。出来ると思いますが...

Windows98をインストールして起動する時のみ、注意しなくてはならないことが1つあります。 WindowsNT、Windows2000をインストールする時には問題ありません。

バーチャルマシンのCドライブのルートにconfig.sysというファイルがあるのですが、このファイルのEMM386.EXE のある行をコメントアウトしなくてはいけません。

config.sys
device=C:\WINDOWS\himem.sys
REM device=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
RAM
devicehigh=C:\WINDOWS\biling.sys
devicehigh=C:\WINDOWS\jfont.sys /p=C:\WINDOWS
devicehigh=C:\WINDOWS\jdisp.sys
devicehigh=C:\WINDOWS\jkeyb.sys /106 C:\WINDOWS\jkeybrd.sys
devicehigh=C:\WINDOWS\kkcfunc.sys
devicehigh=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ansi.sys

赤い行の先頭にREMをつけることによりコメントアウトする必要があります

config.sysのこの行をコメントアウトしてもいいのですが、私はDOSモードは使わないので、config.sysファイルそのものを config.orgとリネームしました。
  1. 数回の再起動を含み、インストールが終ったら、起動中に[F8]キーを押し、メニューを出します。
  2. 6. Safe mode command prompt onlyを選択し、コマンドプロンプトを出します。
  3. rename config.sys config.orgなどとリネームするか、edit config.sysなどとして、コメントアウトします。 コメントアウトするには、REMを付けます。
  4. 再起動します。
以上でゲストOSまでのインストールは終りです。

VMware tools をインストールする

toolsをインストールするのは簡単です。
  1. Windows98を起動します。
  2. VMwareのメニューから、[Settings]-[VMware Tools Install]を選択します。
  3. エクスプローラでAドライブを開くと VMware tools.exeがありますので、ダブルクリックしてインストールします。 toolsをインストールすることにより、SVGA、XGAなど高解像度の画面を表示することができ、ディスプレイの 描画速度が大幅に向上します。

使用した感想



解像度800×600ドットで表示しています。

○描画速度
少し遅いですが、十分に使えます。toolsを入れないとVGAでしか表示できませんでした。いまは、16ビットカラーです。

○ネットワーク
ネットワークも問題なく使えています。Linux BoxをゲートウェイとしてIPマスカレードによるインターネットアクセスもできています。

○SCSI接続のスキャナが使えません
私は、フラットベット、フィルムの2つのスキャナを持っていますが、これは残念。 フラットベットはLinuxで動作するので問題ありませんが、フィルムスキャナはLinuxで使おうとすると、 色深度がないので性能をフルに発揮させられません。今のところWindowsを使うしかありません。
