• RedHat Enterprise 5 VMware Tools

  Think this is the right forum...

  Question:

  Have installed Redhat Enterprise 5 and vmware tools.  Since this is a server x-Window has not been installed, so it is impossible to start vmware-toolbox.

  I want to assure that this guest is logged with the host.  How can I access vmware-toolbox w/o X Windows being installed?

  / Cheers

  You can not.

  But if you talk about time synchronization, check the invited .vmx file. "If there is a line"tool.syncTime ="TRUE" ' then time synchronization is enabled.

• Need for security upgrade VMware Tools?

  Hello, Im using a VMware environment that runs a good handful of Linux VM.  We're running 5.1 VMware update 3 on all hosts.

  Im not a Linux guy and im going to have to start learning more about Linux, but I've noticed to allocate to the virtual machine is here who have Linux, either do not have VMware tools installed, or are obsolete.  Its mix of Red Hat Enterprise 6, SUSE Linux 11, CentOS 4/5/6/7 and Ubuntu.

  My first concern is security, from a point of view security should I get these Linux VM up to date with the latest VMware tools, or else get installed on it?

  A feature point of view im says that the virtual machine is working well.

  Thank you

  Hi Defrogger,

  I have a small number of Linux virtual machines in my environment and I have VMware tools installed, its always good to keep up to date.

  They also provide the required drivers for the VM Client interact with the reliable ESXi host. This interface allows also ESXi host be able to check on the health of the client VM during its operation.

• VMware Tools update fails

  When I run a virtual machine, I get a popup telling me that a new version of VMware Tools (version 8.8.2) is available.  If I click to download, update the product for awhile then stops with an error box saying that there was a problem updating the component.

  As far as I can tell, I have VMware Tools installed 8.8.2.  How can I remove this popup?

  Running VMware on Linux CentOS 5.8 8.0.3.

  With the machine off, go in the Edition-> Preferences-> updates and and uncheck the two boxes «»  That should do it.

• PowerShell remoting to install VMWare tools

  Greetings

  It is true that it is probably focused more on PowerShell and less on VMware VMware tools is the target

  I'm trying to write a script to install VMware tools remotely on the virtual machines that do not have VMware tools installed.

  So far I have the below...

  Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Cis.Core

  Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Core

  Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.HA

  Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Sdk

  Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Storage

  Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Vds

  Se connect-VIServer vCenterserver.domain

  
  

  $username = "domain\username"

  $SecurePassword = Read-Host -Quick ' Enter * FIELD * password " -AsSecureString

  $Credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential '

  -ArgumentList $UserName $SecurePassword

  
  

     $VM = "Test01"

     Get-vm $VM | Dismount-Tools

     Get-vm $VM | Mount-Tools

  $RMsession = New-PSSession -ComputerName $VM -Credential $Credentials

  Invoke-Command -Session $RMSession -ScriptBlock { }$CDRom = Get-WmiObject -class Win32_CDROMDrive | select Drive | ForEach {$_. {{ Drive}}

  { Invoke-Command -Session $RMSession -ScriptBlock { }$Subpath = '\setup.exe s-v - SB ADDLOCAL = all THE REBOOT = R'}

  { Invoke-Command -Session $RMSession -ScriptBlock { }$ExecuteEXE = Join-Path -Path $CDRom -ChildPath $Subpath}

  { Invoke-Command -Session $RMSession -ScriptBlock { }start-process $executeEXE}

  output

  Remove-PSSession *

  Disconnect VIServer * -confirm:$False

  
  

  I confirmed that $executeEXE = indeed Z:\setup.exe s - v - SB ADDLOCAL = ALL REBOOT = R

  When I run the script in the ISE, I get:

  Start-Process: this command cannot be executed due to the error: the system cannot find the specified file.

  Online: 1 character: 14

  + start-process < < < < $executeEXE

  + CategoryInfo: InvalidOperation: (:)) [Start-Process], InvalidOperationException)

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: InvalidOperationException, Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand

  It is true that I am very inexperienced with PowerShell remoting.

  It seems that when I run the script it seems in fact be invoking the command on the remote computer, but rather on the local computer. VMware tools are piling up and the path in $executeEXE is 100% correct and the PSSession is also open, no doubt, but not magic?

  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

  Greetings LucD

  Looks like I may have found the problem.

  Looking for a way run the background process, so that I can do a get-process, while he was running to show he was running, I discovered that start-process allows you to specify the - ArgumentList parameter. (windows - start a detached in PowerShell background process - Stack Overflow) (2 responses)

  So, it looks like this:

  Invoke-Command - Session $RMSession - ScriptBlock {"$CDRom = Get - WmiObject - class Win32_CDROMDrive | select drive"}

  | ForEach {$_.} Disk}; $Subpath = '\setup.exe '; $ExecuteEXE is $CDRom join-Path-Path - ChildPath $Subpath;. start-process $executeEXE - ArgumentList's - v - SB ADDLOCAL = ALL REBOOT = R'}

  To my surprise translates:

  [Test01]: C:\ PS > Get-Process of installation *.

  Manages the NPM PM (K) k VM (M) CPU Id ProcessName

  -------  ------    -----      ----- -----   ------     -- -----------

  And VMware tools installed.

  Thank you very much for your time and trouble. Always very appreciated!

• In any case be easily listed / alert guests not vmware tools running?

  I have an environment engineer who maintain their own environment in general. However I have noticed most of the guests don't have vmware tools installed. I'd like to see or be alerted at least guests who do not. There must be a better way then clicking on each host summary page to see if its installed or not. I also know that you can make vCenter show you on the list of views page if its installed or not.

  However, I am sure that there is another way to get the hosts easily without tools installed, which I can share with the engineers...

  You have a few options.

  (1) install and use the script vCheck

  (2) or to run this command powercli-

  Get - vm | % {get-view $_.ID} | Select Name, @{Name = "hostName"; {Expression = {$_.guest.hostName}}, @{Name = "ToolsStatus"; {Expression = {$_.guest.toolsstatus}}, @{Name = "ToolsVersion"; {Expression = {$_.config.tools.toolsVersion}} | name of tri-objet

• Impact of VMware tools on dvSwitch

  I am currenlty working on the conversion of an environment of a bunch of standard switches to a dvSwitch.

  I have tested dvSwitch and I'm ready to start the migration of virtual machines.  I noticed that there are several virtual machines that do not have VMware tools installed.  I'm assuming that migration Assistant virtual machines using VMware tools when the network switch.

  Do I have to install/upgrade VMware tools on all machines before migrating the dvSwich most?  Is it possible to not do this?

  It is a 24 x 7 environment that has only 4 hours of window of maintenance once a month, if the weather is very very difficult to find.  I know that install vmware tools requires a restart, because he was such a 5.0.x environment.

  Thanks for the tips.

  The condition of the VMware tools will not affect the migration to a VDS. The migration feature changes basically just group for the vNIC port assignment. It may be a slight loss of network connectivity when you migrate, worth perhaps as much as a single network ping, but it's normal.

  Looks like you already know this, but once you get your environment set in place with the version of VMware 5.1 tools it will take not more it recharges when you upgrade tools.

• Update VMware Tools on specific servers

  Hello

  I developed the following script, using various sources, I found on the internet, which I run from the virtual Center Server to update VMware tools on a number of servers:

  ' $insParm = "/ s v" /qn REBOOT = ReallySuppress "'
  
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Configure the variables
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Host name of the server #VM
  $VMServer = "06W8F5VC01".
  #User account to connect to the virtual infrastructure:
  $username = "root".
  
  #Directory path to the list of targets of VM.
  $updList = get-Content "C:\users\jmilano-adm\desktop\serverlist.txt".
  
  Write-Host "Serverlist: ' $updList
  write-host
  
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Connect to the VM Server
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # $server = to connect-VIServer-Server $VMServer - User $username
  $server = to connect-VIServer-Server $VMServer
  #Search for specific VM in the production cluster:
  #$folder = get-file-name "Financial Hosts' #Target financial Hosts file in the VM Infrastructure Client console
  $cluster = get-Cluster-name 'MEL_Cluster_01 '.
  
  Write-Host "cluster Var: ' $cluster
  
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Main()
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  foreach ($uVM to $updList)
  
  {
  $vm = get-VM-name $uVM - location $cluster
  
  #$VM.name
  write-host "
  write-host "host to upgrade:" $VM.name
  
  #$uVM.UpgradeTools_Task ($insParm)
  UPDATE-TOOLS - VM $VM. Name - RunAsync - NoReboot
  
  write-host "
  write-host "host has been improved.
  
  #Wait 30 seconds before you start another task update
  Start-sleep - s 30
  }

  I tested the script and it works very well, but what I want to do is change it so that it performs the following:

  * Check this box when the line read from the ServerList.txt file is empty. If Yes, read the next line.

  * Check the virtual server to verify that the VMware Tools is indeed obsolete. If so, update.

  * Check if the server has no VMware tools. If it is not the case, install the latest version.

  To create a log file on the server on which the script is run.

  * Check if the installation was successful in fact. Add this information to the log file.

  Pls know me what changes I need to run the script to reflect the foregoing. Thank you

  Thinking about your questions. Here it is:

  
  #* Checks the virtual server to verify that the VMware Tools is indeed out of date. If so, update it. 
  
   foreach($vmItem in $vm) {
    if($vmItem.extensiondata.guest.toolsStatus -ne "toolsOK"){
     #Possibilities:
     # - toolsOk
     # - toolsOld
     # - toolsNotRunning
     # - toolsNotInstalled
  
     write-host "Vmware Tools is Not ok, upgrading...";
     UPDATE-TOOLS -VM $vmItem.Name -RunAsync -NoReboot
  
    }else{
     write-host "Vmware Tools Ok, no need to upgrade";
    }
  
   }
  #* Check if the server does not have VMware Tools. If it does not, install the latest version.
   I think the earlier script will work fine to this condition. Please tell, if not.
  
  #* Create a log file on the server which the script is being run.
   You can use the Measure-object cmdlet to see how long it took to run the script.
  
  #* Verifies if the installation actually succeeded. Add this information to the log file.
   After the Measuring, you can query again the Vmware Tools Status or create a looping to try more times till Vmware tools is readed as OK
  

• Application VM that requires no VMware Tools?

  Hey all -

  I'm looking for a way to query VC find some info on my virtual machine. Some of these virtual machines do not have VMware Tools of loading (virtual appliances and whatnot), so guestinfo.pl is not always going to be a good way to find info on them.

  Basically what I want to know is the name of the customer, guest OS (guestFullName), guestState, hostname, IP addresses, addresses MAC and networks that the guest is on. Is it possible to get this info from the host or VirtualCenter rather than having to get it through the virtual machine tools?

  If anyone can point me to a script that does this, or maybe some quick and dirty (and easy to understand - my perl is not terrible) sample code, that would be great.

  These scripts are provided as samples, they are in no way limited to only these two scripts. The main differences between the script guestinfo.pl and vminfo.pl is that one is able to get more details on the guestOS relying on the fact that VMware Tools is installed, you can then get a lot of information that I mentioned earlier on the IP address for each individual interface, the host name of the system, disk information, etc. The script of the latter will provide level virtual machine information that will always be available. One can easily write a script that collects all the details you mentioned earlier and more.

  Regarding your comment on the interrogation of a virtual machine, I'm not sure I follow your statement. All this information is part of a VirtualMachine object, according to what interests you, you will retrieve specific properties/attributes. The configurations of virtual machine (for example, the name of the virtual machine), the number of CPUS, etc. and info level comments are two properties of a VirtualMachine. Connect to a server vCenter Server and extract all virtual machines and then retrieve the properties that you're interested, so you'll need to query each VM.

  I have attached a quick example script that collects some of the basic information about a virtual machine, if she happens to have VMware Tools installed, it will also collect this information, otherwise it will just collect the basic properties. It is written using the vSphere SDK for Perl, which is the same SDK that is used in guestinfo.pl and vminfo.pl, I also added a few comments that should hopefully help you to understand and I would recommend that you take a look at the documentation for more details.

  Here is an example of output, you just nee to specify either vCenter Server or you may connect directly to a host ESX (i):

• VMware tools install fails - Centos 6.2 on VMware Workstation 8

  I already did the "vim - cmd vmsvc/tools.cancelinstall < idnum >" command, but still cannot vmotion.

  Had this problem several times. Only way I got it to work was to turn off the virtual machine and power it back on.
