The communication service is used in addition to the standard communication

between the guest and the host. The rest of the software provided by VMware

Tools is designed to work independently of this feature.

If you wish to have the VMCI feature, you can install the driver by running

vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make and the

kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine. These

packages are available on your distribution’s installation CD.

The VM communication interface socket family is used in conjunction with the VM

communication interface to provide a new communication path among guests and

host. The rest of this software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work

independently of this feature. If you wish to have the VSOCK feature you can

install the driver by running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure

that gcc, binutils, make and the kernel sources for your running kernel are

installed on your machine. These packages are available on your distribution’s

installation CD.
