=======================================================
VMware Workstation / Player / Fusion hypervisors driver
=======================================================
The libvirt VMware driver should be able to manage any Workstation, Player,
Fusion version supported by the VMware VIX API. See the compatibility list
`here <https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/vix110_reference/>`__.
This driver uses the "vmrun" utility which is distributed with the VMware VIX
API. You can download the VIX API from
`here <https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/>`__.
Project Links
-------------
- The `VMware Workstation and Player <https://www.vmware.com/>`__ hypervisors
- The `VMware Fusion <https://www.vmware.com/fusion>`__ hypervisor
Connections to VMware driver
----------------------------
The libvirt VMware driver provides per-user drivers (the "session" instance).
Three uris are available:
- "vmwareplayer" for VMware Player
- "vmwarews" for VMware Workstation
- "vmwarefusion" for VMware Fusion
Some example connection URIs for the driver are:
::
vmwareplayer:///session (local access to VMware Player per-user instance)
vmwarews:///session (local access to VMware Workstation per-user instance)
vmwarefusion:///session (local access to VMware Fusion 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)
Example domain XML config
