Note: If you update the kernel, you’ll have to reinstall VMware Tools using these same steps.Īlternatively, VMWare Tools can be installed by running apt-get install open-vm-tools in the bash shell. Upon the next reboot, VMware Tools will be installed.
After the installation is complete, reboot the Auvik collector: sudo reboot. Note: If you don't want to accept defaults, remove the -d flag from the previous command. Change to the VMware Tools distribution folder: cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/. Be sure to substitute the version number you found via ls Extract the contents of the VMware Tools bundle: tar -xzvf /media/cdrom/VMwareTools-x.x. -C /tmp/. It will depend on which platform and version of VMware you're using: ls /media/cdrom Determine the version of the VMware Tools bundle you’re installing. From the command line, mount the disk image: sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom. As a follower of this blog, you’ll likely recognize this as a legacy. PowerCLI 5.1 and earlier was also a PSSnapin rather than a module making portability much more difficult. Because of this restriction, the public only had limited access to this tool. Click in the console window, open the bash shell, enter 6 and then Y. The original download location for VMware PowerCLI was behind a PowerCLI 5.1 page link. Once the Auvik collector console appears, pass the VMware Tools image to the collector. From your vSphere ESX client: Inventory > Virtual Machine > Guest > Install/Upgrade VMware Tools. Now that the Auvik collector has a CD/DVD drive, you’re ready to install VMware Tools using the collector’s command line interface. Select IDE (0:1) as the virtual drive node. Selecting Pass Through (recommended) as the connection. Select CD/DVD Drive as the device type. To add new hardware to the Auvik collector, click on the collector from your virtual platform. From your vSphere ESX client: Right-click and select Edit Settings. Adding a CD / DVD drive to the collector. (If you’re using vSphere for managing your ESX or ESXi virtual machines, please skip to the section for vSphere below.) Once that’s done, you’re ready to add the CD/DVD drive you’ll needed to complete the VMware Tools installation. To begin, power down the Auvik collector. VMware Tools may be installed and the VM compatibility version updated but for additional safety it is advisable to create a snapshot before upgrading so that a roll back is possible. As well a summary of virtual disks of the VMware VMS is only available when VMware Tools is installed. VMware Tools collects additional guest information and certain parameters are prioritised when installed, such as the guest NIC. This direct access to hardware allows it to perform better, run faster and be more scalable than other types of hypervisors. VMware ESXi runs on top and accesses the hardware directly without the need to install an operating system. You must perform a custom installation and include that component.NOTE: Desktop virtualization platforms such as VMware Fusion or VMware Workstation are fine for quick use, but aren’t recommended or supported for enterprise implementations. The AppDefense component is not installed by default. You must perform a custom installation and include that component. The vShield component is not installed by default. If you use vSphere and plan to install the Guest Introspection Thin Agent driver, see the system requirements listed in the vShield Quick Start Guide. For operating systems later than these, you must log in as an administrator. Any user can install VMware Tools in a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME guest operating system. Log in as an administrator unless you are using an older Windows operating system.Use the virtual machine settings editor to set the CD/DVD drive to autodetect a physical drive.
This ISO file looks like a physical CD to your guest operating system. The autodetect setting enables the virtual machine's first virtual CD/DVD drive to detect and connect to the VMware Tools ISO file for a VMware Tools installation.
For Workstation Player, Fusion, and Workstation Pro virtual machines, if you connected the virtual machine’s virtual CD/DVD drive to an ISO image file when you installed the operating system, change the setting so that the virtual CD/DVD drive is configured to autodetect a physical drive. In the vSphere Client inventory, select the virtual machine and click the Summary tab. For vSphere virtual machines, determine whether you have the latest version of VMware Tools. Verify that the guest operating system is running.
