Can I install the vmware tools on a HP Proliant 380 G5 with VMware ESXi 3.5 Installable U3 with HP management components?

Hello, I have install ESXi 3.5 U3 on a Hp Proliant 380.

I have created a virtual machine to Windows 2003, and when I want to install VMWARE TOOLS from Vmware Infrastructure Client, it does not install on the virtual machine vmware tools. Nor has received all messages from a Client Infrastructure and neither of the virtual machine.

Why could this happen?

Thanks in advance

NO.

The installation of vmware tools lies in an iso file, which is located on your host ESX itself and is mounted on the virtual machine when you click "install vmware tools".

Weather or not your host has a cdrom drive is not serious, you can always add a virtual cdrom drive to your guests and use iso files, or the cdrom drive on the PC that you are using the VI client from.

If you vm doesn't have a virtual cdrom drive, it can't mount the vmware tools iso, and you cannot install the vmware tools.

    Sofar,

    After 12 1 / 2 + hours yesterday, I finally found a solution to install VMWare Tools on Linux myself, and finally got everything working under Ubuntu 8.10 guest OS. Maybe / I hope that this tutorial below will help you.

    For more detailed instructions (step by step) how to get VMWare on Ubuntu 8.10 Guest OS tools, you can consult the following links:

    I created a small tutorial here:

    http://communities.VMware.com/message/1129103#1129103

    A post of Mufasa in this link helped as well:

    http://communities.VMware.com/message/887802#887802

    This link was very helpful as well:

    http://laurentbois.com/2008/04/26/install-Ubuntu-804-using-VMware-Fusion-on-Mac-OS-x/

    The single link that has helped him further was found here on the Ubuntu forums:

    http://UbuntuForums.org/showthread.php?t=987631

    Keep in mind that if you run an x 86 (32-bit) version of Ubuntu 8.10, then the files that you need to download and use are different than the instructions on the Ubuntu forums. So look over the instructions on the Ubuntu forums (if you use a 64 bit version of the guest operating system Ubuntu 8.10), but if you install VMWare Tools on a 32-bit version of the guest operating system Ubuntu and then followed the first link at the top of this post or the link here below:

    http://communities.VMware.com/message/1129103#1129103

    This should be enough to help you (step by step) get the VMWare Tools installed and running on the operating system Ubuntu 8.10 guest (32-bit or 64-bit).

    Mark

    P.S. to the extent where, I hope that you find that the links provided above helps as a solution. Please post back with your results and please allow the "right answer" points to the right solution accordingly. Thank you! (I hope that I could actually get my FIRST 'right answer' all points of a poster, yippie!) Or at least partial marks for a response "useful". Ignore anything. If the links above and the tutorial I created above help resolve your issue/problem, then close the question as answered and assign points. Even the 'useful' and 'good answer' points are good. Thank you!

  • can I install the cutting tool in windows xp

    If Yes, where can I find the download?

    If Yes, where can I find the download?

    I use the free version of Super screenshot with my Windows XP, SP3 and I love it.  A downside I found is that it only works on my primary monitor.  If I want to capture something of my second monitor, I firstly drag the window to capture, and then do.  If has a multitude of options, but I only use the rectangle tool to capture part of the screen.  The other drawback is that it inserts www. zealsoft. com (without the spaces) in the upper-left corner of the capture.  Since I use it for a partial screenshot, I just start my rectangle a little higher that what I need so I can trim at the waist without inside advertising.

    What I like is that she not talk or put my screenshots on the internet. I don't know anything about the two Bruce Hagen listed, but I know a called Jing, which is designed to put every screenshot on the net.  That's fine if that's what the user wants, but I prefer to keep my pictures for me.

  • Can I install the upgrade to win 8 as a dual boot with Windows 7?

    I bought and downloaded but not installed upgrading Windows 8 Pro, I'm currently under Win 7 64. The upgrade wizard Win gave the choice to install now, install by creating media or install at a later time from your desktop.  I chose the latter, and the Windows Installer shortcut is now on the desktop. I have learned since that a dual-boot Win 8 cannot happen if installed by Windows.

    This upgrade version allows you to dual boot? (I have a few apps that apparently do not run in Win 8)

    It can dualboot (as long as you create the DVD drive with the installation files. But to install the Windows 8 Pro upgrade, the score should have a previous version of qualification of Windows (XP, Vista or Windows 7). The version recommended if you want to dualboot is the full OEM version:

    Buy a full version of Windows 8

    If you want to build your own PC and install Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro or an additional operating system running in a virtual machine or a separate partition (including a Mac), you can buy Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro System Builder (OEM versions). If available in your country or region, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro System Builder products can be purchased at participating stores, you will need to ask a the sales representative for more information. This version does not support the customer.

    There is no full retail version of Windows 8. If you need a full version, you will need to purchase the Pro OEM Windows 8 of new eggs. To do this, install an own custom.

    > Was bought new with no software on it.

    Hmm generally the laptop must be delivered with the software installed together.
    Vista, drivers, tools and utilities must be already installed.

    In addition, you will receive the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    This CD contains the image of Toshiba with OS, drivers and tools.

    However, the driver WLan if works. !!!

    I think you used it just a bad driver WLan.

  • Best practices in VMWare ESXi 3.5 installation and deployment of VMDK u3?

    Hi all

    I'm about to implement virtualization on my business technology

    I've got these resources to be used by VMWare ESXi 3.5

    Dell PowerEDGE 2950 III

    • 32 GB DDR - II 667 MHz

    • internal 4 x 500 GB SATA 7200 RPM HDD (RAID 5) - I know that it's slow to host the VMDK

    • Internal USB slot on the motherboard (but not USB flashdisk?)

    Dell PowerVault MD3000

    • 10 x 300 GB SAS 15 k RPM

    • 2 x Dual port Gigabit Ethernet NIC (x 4 in total)

    • iSCSI - 2 x Gigabit Ethernet for the switch (mute not to VLAN)

    I wonder where I should install the VMWare ESXi? for the VMDK, I believe that the deployment in the SAN is the right place.

    and any suggestion for the use of the SATA HARD drive internal?

    any comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    You mean Deployment.jpg diagram?

    In this case, there is an error.

    You need a network 2, not 4.

    Each controller and each NIC (on ESX) must have an IP in a net and another IP in the second NET.

    ESX guests 4 targets, 2 in a net, 2 in the other.

  • I can't install the SP3 from Microsoft Update Center

    I can't install the SP3 from Microsoft Update Center.So I contacted Microsoft Support and ran diagnostic scan tool and sent the results. They send e-mail attachment reset_subinacle. It's done. FAILED. I tried 3 times and 2 days later... still cannot copy beethov9.wma. file. So now what should I do to get this SP3 on my son's computer? My son has enough disk space for SP3 and I made sure and prepared for this installation. Does anyone know what I need to do? Help!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    jneen420

    Yes, I'm familiar with your recent discussions on this particular computer as well as the fact that he gave to your son as a used computer. Be so familiar with the history of this computer, I feel confident in saying he was already infected when he gave your son.

    I fear that the only way to get this computer secure and fully patched to Windows Update will be formatting the hard drive - and then do a clean install of Windows.

    Since you don't have the disks that originally came with the computer (and assuming that the original owner would have given them to you when gave you the computer if there were), we must assume (or at least to cross our fingers and hope) that there is a hidden restore partition that could be used to return the computer to the condition it was before first it left the factory. I can assure you that can support Dell & will help you, if not directly through the Dell Community forum:http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514.aspx

    Follow the instructions below:

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

    HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307

    Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care ofeverything on the next page before otherwise connect the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

    NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool appropriate prior to installing the updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

    If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility. Expect to pay about $150 USD (or more) for this service.
