• Ubuntu LTS 14.04 will not install VMWare Tools ability to shared folders

  Get the following error when trying to install VMWare Tools within a host running Ubuntu LTS 14.04.  I tried to open a ticket in the VMWare system and got an error (lose faith in Vmware here as an ESXi + client Fusion...)
  

  
  

  
  

  Looks like Vmware must update VMware tools for Ubuntu 14.04 kernel headers?

  The filesystem (vmhgfs module) driver is used only for the shared folder

  feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work

  regardless of this function.

  If you want the shared folders feature, you can install the driver of

  running vmware-config - tools.pl once after being assured that gcc, binutils, make

  and your kernel sources are installed on your computer.

  These packages are available on the installation of your distribution CD.

  Seems to work fine with the tools in the recent update to VMware Fusion 6.0.3:

  http://www.VMware.com/go/downloadfusion

  Certainly the tools should be updated in order to support a view recent guests of Ubuntu Unity (disabled, sofar, also with 6.0.3 + 14.04): maybe in Fusion 6.1, who knows...

• Catch 22 tries to install VMware Tools

  I created a Windows 7 VM from a physical PC. I 'play' on a Player 10 Windows via VMware Workstation 12 host, connect to the guest and then click on the "Install tools" button in the player. I see this error message:

  "The virtual machine must have a virtual CD/DVD device to install VMware Tools."

  OK, so I turned off the guest who also ends the player, rerun the player, select the virtual machine and click on "Edit virtual machine settings". On the Hardware tab, I click on the Add button, select "reader of CD/DVD", click Next, select the "use ISO image" radio button (because I guess that's what the error message means by "virtual CD/DVD"), and then click Next, and then I get invited to an ISO image. And that's the Catch 22 - the error message indicates that the player has just need a virtual device, not an ISO, but when I try to add a virtual device, the player wants an ISO.

  How to break this vicious circle and install VMware Tools?

  I thought about it myself the answer to a question on the superuser. Here are the steps:

  1. Stop the virtual machine
  2. Run the drive and select the virtual machine
  3. Click on "Edit virtual machine settings".
  4. Click on "Add..." "in the Hardware tab
  5. Select "CD/DVD Drive", and then click Next
  6. Select the "use ISO image" radio button and click Next
  7. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware drive and double-click windows.iso
  8. Uncheck the box "Connect to light" (probably any) and click on finish
  9. Click OK
  10. Click on "Play virtual machine."
  11. Log on to the virtual computer
  12. Click installation tools
  13. Follow the instructions in the installer

• How to install vmware tools in a virtual machine running in the drive on an Ubuntu host?

  I have a host of Ubuntu (Ubuntu LTS 14.04.2)

  I have a virtual of Fedora (4.0.4 - 301.fc22.x86_64) and I would like to install vmware tools in the virtual machine.

  When I select the player VirtualMachine-> reinstall VMware Tools...

  I get a prompt in a box on the screen.  It is said:

  The following software are available for download:

  VMware Tools for Linux version 9.9.3

  What do you do?

  X Cancel |  Download and install

  Of course I choose to download and install (kind of silly question - why I want to cancel?)

  So instead of download the tools I want to install, it says:

  Your permission is required to install an update to VMware.

  Please enter the root password to move forward.

  Password: __________

  not serious.  Now, he's looking for what root password?  The virtual machine or the host?

  I have try the virtual machine and it works-not "incorrect password... try again."

  ... well Ubuntu is not a root user.  So, I try the password for the user with root privileges

  "incorrect password... try again."

  Then, he does not.

  Not very satisfying.

  The instructions that I found in my research right you will say to take the step to obtain the Tools package then (well, nothing of the rest of it is important if the tools are not available to me).

  Suggestions?  Advice?

  The required password is for the host.

  A workaround of functions is "sudo su -" of ubuntu host, then start vmplayer from the root prompt.  You must browse the virtual machine since the user doesn't have a history of openness yet... but then there is no prompt asking for a password when you try to download the tools.

• 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!

• VMware Workstation 11 crashes after installing VMware tools

  As the title suggests, VMware Workstation 11 crashes after installing VMware Tools with a guest Windows 7 x 64. I am running VMware on a host Windows 7 x 64. It happens every time I try to install the guest operating system. Attached to this post are all the newspapers that I could find that I thought would help solve the problem.

  As you may already know, VMware has just released a major update for 11 workstation (including VMware tools updated). Workstation now works almost perfectly. I don't have accidents since then. This means that I have was right in my post above. This is indeed nothing more than a BETA version of VMware buggy, lazy, masked as a "final". Wow, it looks like that a respectable company like this would not resort to such unethical practices. I mean that you would expect this kind of crap of a company like Electronic Arts, but VMware? Come on guys, you're better than this!

• The Installation of VMWare tools failed. In any case to force the update/install VMWare tools?

  I used to use VMware Workstation 10 and recently upgraded to VMware workstation 11.  However, whenever I try to install a newer version of VMware tools, it will fail with message saying something like "VMware Tools can be installed in the Virtual Machine.

  Yes, I am trying to install VMware Tools within the guest operating system, but I get this notification for all my virtual machines, I'm running.

  I'm under 6 Virtual Machines simultaneously and they run on Windows 7 32 bit OS and configured with 4 GB of RAM, 1CPU, 100GB HD + 5 GB second HD for the swap file, NO printer, no sound card.

  For each virtual machine, I changed about 50 + key of Windows registry and detect the values to hide from all the programs that they are running on the virtual machine.

  I assume due to records, I changed, it confuses VM installer who it is not running on a Virtual Machine.  Then I tried to change all these registers changed to send it back to the original value, yet I is always the same message.

  I must be missing either some registry values or values that I restored is false. But I don't know which is the case.

  I can simply delete all my Virtual Machines and start again with the new virtual machine, but I don't want to repeat this process whenever a newer version of the VM tools out. and installation of windows and search and replace registry values for each virtual computer is full of works.

  So, here is my question.  Anyone know how to force the update / install VM tools in my virtual machine?

  P.S. I added under scripts in the file .vmx for each of the virtual machines.  I don't think it would cause the problem but just in case I include it.

  SVGA.vramsize = 268435456

  monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "" true ".

  insulation. Tools.getptrlocation.Disable = 'true '.

  insulation. Tools.setptrlocation.Disable = 'true '.

  insulation. Tools.setVersion.Disable = 'true '.

  insulation. Tools.GetVersion.Disable = 'true '.

  monitor_control.disable_directexec = 'true '.

  SMBIOS.reflecthost = 'true '.

  memtrimrate = '0 '.

  mainmem.usenamedfile = "false".

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "false".

  prefvmx.userecommendedlockedmemsize = 'true '.

  Tent Installer to get the version information of the hypervisor of underling to see if it is a VM or not.  This is done by contacting by back door.

  Setting monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "true"prevents communication."

• Impossible to install VMware tools in Win 2012 R2 guest

  Hi all

  just upgraded merger 7.0.1 for 7.1.0 because I thought that he could solve this problem:

  After you have configured the client Win 2012 R2, I try to install vmware tools, choosing the option in the VM menu. But I always get the message "not available for this customer to vmware tools" (hope translation is exactly the same of my installation of German fusion...).

  Only the seams Win 2012 R2 to be affected. Linux, OS X, Win XP/7 works fine.

  Any idea?

  Thank you, david

  I met the same problem.   You need to do a manual installation of the vmware tools (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=1003417).

• What happens in terms of performance, if I didn't install VMware tools on linux with NIC defined as VXNET3

  Hi Experts,

  I would like to understand the following:

  Currently, I have a server with 10 G interfaces (u1, ESXi 5.5) and I installed SUSE linux as a virtual machine with adapter NIC VXNET3, but I don't want to install VMware tools. According to the article, VMtools are needed for VXNET3

  VMware KB: Choose one network adapter for your virtual machine

  So my question is: what happens to the performance of the network on this machine? (Saw that it basically works but not sure of the performance).

  Another question: in which case we have a virtual machine, but we do not want to install VMtools on it, which is recommended for this virtual machine NIC adapter?

  Thank you

  ekhmahg

  so my question is, what is the performance impact of not installing the VMtools when using VXNIC?

  None. Even if you have installed VMware tools, your BONES would still use the supplied kernel vmxnet3 module unless force you the installation of the VMware Tools (-clobber-kernel-modules = vmxnet3).

  Overwrite the supplied OS module is not recommended and besides if you're updating your kernel on a regular basis, you'll probably a newer version or at least the version module even as provided by the VMware tools (unless you keep bleeding edge with your updates of ESXi).

  the second question: If we do not want to install VMtools at all, what is the best recommended NIC adapter?

  vmxnet3. As you do not need to install the VMware Tools since the kernel module is provided by every modern Linux already.

• Is there a Script to install VMware tools on any event of power off?

  Hi all

  Currently, we have an infrastructure VM 1000 + reversed between 2 data centers and are moving from 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi.

  We want to make sure on the new architecture of 5.5 is that any virtual computer that VMware tools installed - it installs on any event powercycle.

  Y at - it a script of mass that we could run for linux servers and windows can this factor?

  At the moment we have 700 VMs have the tools installed and up-to-date

  100 or more, who have installed and are not updated

  200 + remaining machines do not have the tools installed, and we want to automate to install the tools on any event of power cycle.

  For the 100 who are not up-to-date

  We followed the following tasks and confirmed that it works

  VSphere Documentation Centre

  If a virtual machine with obsolete tools will automatically update on a power cycle

  But the 200 who need complete installation tools stop - we need help to get a script to work / if there is one that can do this

  We can use the following to update the tools to the power cycle

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  $vm= Get-VM-Name"virtualmachine"

  $spec= New-ObjectVMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

  $spec.changeVersion = $vm.ExtensionData.Config.ChangeVersion

  $spec.tools = New-ObjectVMware.Vim.ToolsConfigInfo

  $spec.tools.toolsUpgradePolicy = "upgradeAtPowerCycle"

  $_this = Get-View-Id$vm.Id

  $_this.ReconfigVM_Task($spec)

  But we want something that can install the tools if not installed on the Cycle of power rather than update / update...

  Hope that makes sense and that theres a script that we can use to do this.

  Thank you all

  The 1st real time installation of the VMware Tools is AFAIK not possible with a PowerCLI cmdlet.

  You will need to use a method of SW distribution, that you will use to install any SW on your workstations.

  In your case, you will need to support Win and Linux machines virtual, so you will need to provide at least 2 procedures to perform the actual installation.

  Some additional info can be found in  Re: how to use PowerCLI install VMware Tools?

• MRS. install vmware tools when retrieving test?

  Hello

  SRM does nothing about the VMware tools. He doesn't manipulate (install\uninstall\update\modify) not the tools somehow.

• How to install VMWARE tools in ESXi VirtualHost?

  Friends,

  New in the vmware community... Just-VCP5-VTC review first attempt scored 184 little weak feeling... is in any case I have server with 16 GB of memory and processors R710 Dual Core Quad and 4 TB of storage with raid 0 which gives me two 2 TB built in Lun with raid 5 OS mirrored disks. Have installed ESXi server and created 4 VMS 1 VC, 1 ms and 2 linux machine I will use as ESXi servers for clustering; HA; DRS etc.

  I am struggling to install the vmware tools on virtual hosts esxi; can't seem to get the media using the mount command? I installed vmware tools on other virtual machines to linux without problem...

  VMware Tools are not available or supported on ESXi virtual hosts.

  BTW. I'm a bit confused about the "... and have 4 TB of storage with raid 0 which gives me two 2 TB built in Lun with raid 5 OS mirrored disks...» ». Assuming that you have 4 disks, not do you have configured them in 3 RAID5 disks with a backup?

• How to install VMware tools correctly on Linux Mint 15 cinnamon on Fusion 5.0.3

  Hello

  First of all, I understand that Linux Mint is not supported (side: anyone know if this will change?), so I appreciate any help.  My main problem is with the folders shared

  Dead ends

  So far, I've run into some dead ends:

  1. I watched install VMware Tools in Linux Mint 15 cinnamon (Olivia) - YouTube - but this facility has been the "'VMware Workstation 9.0.2 ' and the author admits"I don't know if it works or not with the fusion." "

  2 I downloaded a a copy of the latest vmwaretools for linux of deposit of CDS - /www/stage/session-32/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/5.0.3/1040386/packages only to find it was exactly the same as the package vmwaretools this merger gives me at least VMwareTools - 9.2.2 - 893383
  

  Some success

  I had some mild success by running the following commands before installing - it seems to stop error messages:

  apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install build-essential
  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
  sudo apt-get install xinetd
  

  But my MAJOR PROBLEM IS...

  When I try to activate the shared folders while the guest is running, I see a message:

  

  Or if I turn on shared folders when the guest does NOT work, I don't get an error message - but I don't see either record hgfs under/MNT

  Other research

  I read can't see the shared folders in Linux guest (Windows host) and Re: sharing files on drive betw host and the guest does not work on Ubuntu 13.04 and even tried to run the script vmtoolspatch of WoodyZ of this post - with the following result:

  To install VMware Tools type the following

  But after the installation of the VMware shared folders tools has not always worked.

  My plea

  Someone has successfully shared folder with Linux Mint 15 cinnamon (32 bit - no codecs) invited 5.0.3 fusion and if so could you share the steps that you used?

  My system Details

  I tried this using VMware Fusion 5.0.3 in both a

  MacMini running Lion Server (OS X 10.7.5) 2 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB of DDR3 memory and a

  MacBook Pro running 2.8 GHz Intel Core Duo 8 GB DDR3 (OS X 10.8.4) Mountain Lion

  I have only this tried using Linux Mint 15 cinnamon (32 bit - no codecs)

  Well, starting with the basic installation created by using the linuxmint-15-cinnamon-dvd-nocodecs-32bit.iso image under VMware Fusion 5.0.3 I did the following.

  sudo apt - get install linux-headers-$(uname-r)

  sudo ln-s/usr/src/linux-headers-$ (uname-r)/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname-r)/include/linux/version.h

  Excerpt from vmtoolspatch.zip in my Home Directory.

  Excerpt from the VMware Tools VMwareTools - 9.2.2 - 893683.tar.gz to: / tmp

  Open a Terminal, by default, the base directory, then:

  wkz@linuxmint15x86nc ~ $. / vmtoolspatch

  patch the file driver.c

  patching file inode.c

  To install VMware Tools, type the following command

  commands, pressing ENTER after each:

  CD/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib

  sudo./VMware-install.pl

  wkz@linuxmint15x86nc ~ $ cd/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib

  wkz@linuxmint15x86nc/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib $ sudo./vmware-install.pl

  Once VMware Tools have been installed, I rebooted and had access to the VMware shared folders.

  So it works with the basic install however I do not run apt - get update then apt - get upgrade or use one kernel other then the default.  So once the changes then the scrip may not work and I don't have time to test each variable and am just trying to give some automated solution just to make it easier to patch based on what is said in the Notes section in the script.  Really don't want to maintain it and others can build on this and or do something similar.

  Make sure that the stamp of Date/time on the file vmtoolspatch is Jul 15 00:04:00 2013 as who has worked with this test.
