However, now the drivers for the network/SCSI adapter are part of the Linux kernel. Originally, VMware Tools provided the best drivers for network and storage, combined with the functionality for other features such as time synchronization. The official Tools are not available separately for Arch Linux. In 2007, VMware released large partitions of the VMware Tools under the LGPL as Open-VM-Tools. Some modules, such as the legacy vmhgfs shared folder module, will require additional work to manually compile and systemd enable in order to function properly.
#ARCH LINUX VMWARE IMAGE DRIVER#
This is a KMS enabled DRM driver for the VMware SVGA2 virtual hardware. It enables high-speed communication between host and guest in a virtual environment via the VMCI virtual device. vmw_vmci - The Virtual Machine Communication Interface.vmw_pvscsi - For VMware's Paravirtual SCSI (PVSCSI) HBA.Deallocated Virtual Machine memory can be reused in the host without terminating the guest. It can also be deflated to allow the guest to use more physical memory. It acts like a "balloon" that can be inflated to reclaim physical pages by reserving them in the guest and invalidating them in the monitor, freeing up the underlying machine pages so they can be allocated to other guests. vmw_balloon - The physical memory management driver.vmw_balloon vmw_pvscsi vsock vmw_vsock_vmci_transport.

If any of them is not auto-detected (check by running lsmod | grep modulename ) and if it is required, the module can be added to mkinitcpio's MODULES array. Note: Arch's Udev auto-detects and enables some of these modules.
