（注意）VMwareTools導入のゲストOSLinuxで、VNC-SERVERを利用したい場合
CentOS 6でyumを使用してインストールされるデフォルトのvnc-server（tiger-vnc）を利用している場合、vnc-serverが起動しなくなる不具合が発生した。
tightvnc-server 1.3.9でも不具合が生じた。(VNCクライアントに黒い画面が表示され待機状態のまま変わらなかった。)
★対策として、Turbo VNCを代わりに使用した。（参照）VMWare 5 Centos 6 VMWareTools Kill VNC< http://communities.vmware.com/message/1878825 > 2012年8月16日
用いたCentOS 6.2 64bit版は、インストーラーでDesktopタイプを選択したものである。
■VMware Tools DVDイメージをマウントした
vSphere Clientから、対象とする仮想マシンを起動し「仮想マシンコンソール」を開いた。
システムが起動した後、この「仮想マシンコンソール」を使ってVMware Tools DVDイメージをマウントした。
GNOMEにログインしておき、
「仮想マシン（V）」→「ゲスト（G）」→「VMware Toolsのインストール／アップグレード（W）」を開いた。
GNOMEのデスクトップ上に、DVDがマウントされたことを示すアイコンが現れた。
次に示すディレクトリに自動的にマウントされていた。
■マウントされたDVDイメージからtar.gzファイルを取り出し、適当な作業ディレクトリにコピーした

vmware-tools start/running
The configuration of VMware Tools 8.6.0 build-515842 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.
You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.
You can now run VMware Tools by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd" from the
command line or by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" from the command line
during an X server session.
To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.
