<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:
</p>
<ul>
<li>"vmwareplayer" for VMware Player</li>
<li>"vmwarews" for VMware Workstation</li>
</ul>
<p>
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>
