CentOS 7 VMware-Tools Mount Shared Folder

# yum -y install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-devel

1. Add the vmhgfs Driver
If you use the file sharing feature by using Shared Folders in VMware Workstation and Fusion, install the vmhgfs driver in the virtual machine. This driver is not included inbox in the operating system. Installing the additional vmhgfs driver does not disturb the other inbox VMware drivers or Open VMware Tools. To install this driver:
    1. Install Open VMware Tools.
    2. Install the traditional TAR Format VMware Tools that is bundled with VMware Workstation or Fusion products.

# yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"

# wget https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/8.1.1/3771013/packages/com.vmware.fusion.tools.linux.zip.tar
# tzr xfv com.vmware.fusion.tools.linux.zip.tar
# unzip com.vmware.fusion.tools.linux.zip
# mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
# mount -t iso9660 -o loop payload/linux.iso /mnt/cdrom
# tar zxfv /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-10.0.6-3595377.tar.gz 
# cd vmware-tools-distrib/
# mkdir -p /mnt/hgfs

# ./vmware-install.pl 
The installer has detected an existing installation of open-vm-tools on this 
system and will not attempt to remove and replace these user-space 
applications. It is recommended to use the open-vm-tools packages provided by 
the operating system. If you do not want to use the existing installation of 
open-vm-tools and attempt to install VMware Tools, you must uninstall the 
open-vm-tools packages and re-run this installer.
The packages that need to be removed are:
open-vm-tools
The installer will next check if there are any missing kernel drivers. Type yes
if you want to do this, otherwise type no [yes] yes

upgrade to a newer virtual NIC. (e.g., vmxnet3 or e1000e)

VMware automatic kernel modules enables automatic building and installation of
VMware kernel modules at boot that are not already present. This feature can
be enabled/disabled by re-running vmware-config-tools.pl.
