4. Mount the CD-ROM to the specified directory

Usually, the device directory/dev/CDROM is mounted to the/MNT/CDROM directory.
if the CDROM directory does not exist in the/MNT directory, it is created

Check for CDROM

[root@centos7 /]# ll /mnt/cdrom/
Total 56849
-r-xr-xr-x. 1 xxxx xxxx     1976 3月  25 2020 manifest.txt
-r-xr-xr-x. 1 xxxx xxxx     4943 3月  25 2020 run_upgrader.sh
-r--r--r--. 1 xxxx xxxx     56414224 3月  25 2020 VMwareTools-10.3.22-15902021.tar.gz
-r-xr-xr-x. 1 xxxx xxxx     872044 3月  25 2020 vmware-tools-upgrader-32
-r-xr-xr-x. 1 xxxx xxxx     918184 3月  25 2020 vmware-tools-upgrader-64

Create if/MNT/CDROM does not exist

[root@centos7 /]# mkdir /mnt/cdrom

Mount directory

[root@centos7 /]# mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: /dev/sr0 Write-protected, will mount as read-only
mount: /dev/sr0 is mounted or /mnt/cdrom is busy
       /dev/sr0 has been mounted on /run/media/xxxx/VMware Tools
       /dev/sr0 is already mounted on /mnt/cdrom

Copy the installation package to the user’s home directory

[root@centos7 /]# cp /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-10.3.22-15902021.tar.gz /

Unmount

[root@centos7 /]# umount /dev/cdrom

Unzip the installation package

[root@centos7 /]# tar -zxvf VMwareTools-10.3.22-15902021.tar.gz

Installing VMware Tools

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take 
effect.

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
3. Restart your X session.
