[Linux-cluster] How to extract an rpm for use on another server?

[Ryan Golhar]

If you don't have the rpm, you'll have to do a 'rpm -qf ...' on every 
file on your system to determine which one belong to VMware.  Try this 
perl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

foreach $file (`find / -type f`) {
         $_ = `rpm -qf $file`;
         if ($_ =~ m/VMware/) {
                 print "$file ... $_\n";
         }
}
