2# This config is an example usage of ktest.pl with a vmware guest
3#
4# VMware Setup:
5# -------------
6# - Edit the Virtual Machine ("Edit virtual machine settings")
7# - Add a Serial Port
8#   - You almost certainly want it set "Connect at power on"
9#   - Select "Use socket (named pipe)"
10#   - Select a name that you'll recognize, like 'ktestserialpipe'
11#   - From: Server
12#   - To: A Virtual Machine
13#   - Save
14# - Make sure you note the name, it will be in the base directory of the
15#   virtual machine (where the "disks" are stored.  The default
16#   is /var/lib/vmware/<virtual machine name>/<the name you entered above>
17#
18# - Make note of the path to the VM
19# </End VMware setup>
20#
21# The guest is called 'Guest' and this would be something that
22# could be run on the host to test a virtual machine target.

26# Name of the serial pipe you set in the VMware settings
27VMWARE_SERIAL_NAME = <the name you entered above>
28
29# Define a variable of the name of the VM
30# Noting this needs to be the name of the kmx file, and usually, the
31# name of the directory that it's in.  If the directory and name
32# differ change the VMWARE_VM_DIR accordingly.
33# Please ommit the .kmx extension
34VMWARE_VM_NAME = <virtual machine name>

36# VM dir name.  This is usually the same as the virtual machine's name,
37# but not always the case.  Change if they differ

40# Base directory that the Virtual machine is contained in
41# /var/lib/vmware is the default on Linux

45# and output it's contents to stdout will work
46CONSOLE = /usr/bin/ncat -U ${VMWARE_VM_BASE_DIR}/${VMWARE_SERIAL_NAME}
47
48# Define what version of Workstation you are using
49# This is used by vmrun to use the appropriate appripriate pieces to
50# test this.  In all likelihood you want 'ws' or 'player'
51# Valid options:
52# 	ws - Workstation (Windows or Linux host)
53# 	fusion - Fusion (Mac host)
54# 	player - Using VMware Player (Windows or Linux host)
55# Note: vmrun has to run directly on the host machine
56VMWARE_HOST_TYPE = ws
57
58# VMware provides `vmrun` to allow you to do certain things to the virtual machine
59# This should hard reset the VM and force a boot

121# Instead of using the default POWER_CYCLE option defined in
