<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_reference/">here</a>.
</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</a>.
<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)
</pre>
<h2><a name="xmlconfig">Example domain XML config</a></h2>
<pre>
&lt;domain type='vmware'&gt;
&lt;name&gt;vmware&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;uuid&gt;bea92244-8885-4562-828b-3b086731c5b1&lt;/uuid&gt;
&lt;os&gt;
&lt;type&gt;hvm&lt;/type&gt;
&lt;/os&gt;
&lt;memory&gt;524288&lt;/memory&gt;
&lt;vcpu&gt;1&lt;/vcpu&gt;
&lt;features&gt;
&lt;pae/&gt;
&lt;acpi/&gt;
&lt;/features&gt;
&lt;devices&gt;
&lt;disk type='file' device='disk'&gt;
&lt;source file='/home/user/tmp/disk.vmdk'/&gt;
&lt;target bus='ide' dev='hda'/&gt;
&lt;/disk&gt;
&lt;interface type='bridge'&gt;
&lt;target dev='/dev/vmnet1'/&gt;
&lt;source bridge=''/&gt;
&lt;mac address='00:16:3e:5d:c7:9e'/&gt;
&lt;/interface&gt;
