• 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.

• Installation of the VMware tools on PCLinuxOS comments

  Hi all

  I started to play with VMware player (version 6.0.3). I made a new virtual machine and install PCLinuxOS on it. I now want to install VMware tools on this comment, so I click on the drive-> manage-> install VMware tools. However, nothing seems to happen, and I've waited more than an hour. When I click on the drive-> manage according to me, it is said (download VMware tools). The host and the VM guest have access to internet. Could be blocking download, or in any way I can solve the problem? Thank you very much for your help - J

  You are running on Windows or Linux, VMware Player host? If you are running on the WIndows host, download the file: http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/player/6.0.3/1895310/windows/packages/tools-linux-9.6.2.exe.tar

  Extract the. EXE file and run it. EXE file on host it will silently install the ISO Images of VMware Tools in the working directory of VMware Player.

  After that, try to reinstall the VMware Tools on VM, simply go to the menu player-> manage-> install VMware Tools.

• Path to the Vmware Tools on ESXi5

  What is the path of the Vmware Tools on ESXi5?

  The "/ shop" it's actually a FAT partition ~ 285MB created during installation. It is not a data store, and is not accessible using the browser of data store.

  See for example http://www.running-system.com/esxi-5-0-host-partition-layout/

• Rule gold for the resettlement of the VMWare Tools?

  "The VMware Tools package includes a display driver that has been optimized for the guest operating system running in a virtual machine."

  KB http://bit.ly/bdXGhX

  Is this compatible with the other components of tools? This makes me think that the only factors that affect installation tools are the guest operating system and the host operating system, but that doesn't seem fair to me.

  I wonder what situations dictate that the tools be reinstalled on an existing virtual machine?  For example:

  VM moves a version of workstation player, ESXi, to another (5 WS WS 6, ESX ESX 3.5 3.0). Some requiring the use of the converter except with worms backward compatibility.

  VM moves product i.e. ESXi on workstation, the desktop player. I think that this is supported only through the help of converter, but sometimes operates independently.

  VM moves from machine A to machine B / Server A, Server B both using the same product. (Share/copy a virtual machine)

  Move VM includes change of machine and version.

  Put VM at level in a newer version of the workstation.

  etc...

  In my experience sometimes changes invites for a relocation/development tools while other times there are no complaints of the virtual machine. If the performance takes a hit seems to be hit or miss, and it reduces the field to tools is difficult because of the variety of hardware and software factors. The only advice that I seem to be able to find is "install VMWare Tools".

  Hello

  Sorry did not read the article linked, but...

  Is this compatible with the other components of tools? This makes me think that the only factors that affect installation tools are the guest operating system and the host operating system, but that doesn't seem fair to me.

  No, it's not, the VMware product and version used also play an important role.

  Rule of thumb here is that you want to keep the version of VMware Tools in sync. While their is certainly backwards compatibility, there is no guarantee that it will work well if not a match.

  VM moves a version of workstation player, ESXi, to another (5 WS WS 6, ESX ESX 3.5 3.0). Some requiring the use of the converter except with worms backward compatibility.

  If you move between the major releases of the product you want to reinstall VMware Toools

  VM moves product i.e. ESXi on workstation, the desktop player. I think that this is supported only through the help of converter, but sometimes operates independently.

  If you keep the main synchronized versions then it usually works very well. So you can move a machine virtual merger 3.0.x to workstation 7.0.x for Server 2.0.x (even to vSphere ESX) without reinstalling VMware Tools. With vSphere, this depends somewhat on the guest like e.g. vSphere can't stand aero, so you would have no problem to a VM Win7 native of vSphere Workstation, but a native Win7 VM from Workstation to vSphere his video card driver needs changed.

  VM moves from machine A to machine B / Server A, Server B both using the same product. (Share/copy a virtual machine)

  Normally, no relocation is necessary if the VMware product is at the same level of review.

  Move VM includes change of machine and version.

  See previous answer

  Put VM at level in a newer version of the workstation.

  It depends on... most of the time a newer version of the product VMware also upgraded to a newer version of VMware Tools, but it is not completely 1 on 1.

  > The only advice that I seem to be able to find is "install VMWare Tools".

  That's good advice, but it is not always necessary.

  Hope this helps,

• 7 - fusion '3D Acceleration requires an update of the VMware tools in the Virtual Machine'

  Hello

  I installed the free Fusion 7 trial this week on my iMac and subsequently installed Windows 8.

  The resolution of the screen under Windows is very low compared to the Mac OS.

  In addition, I have the warning message in the Windows display settings:

  '3D acceleration requires an update of the VMware tools in the Virtual Machine'

  I also note that the display driver in Windows is the display driver database with Microsoft.

  A few weeks ago I installed version 6 of Fusion and it worked very well.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  John.

  Take a look at the installation and the use of the VMware tools and more spicifically to manually install or upgrade VMware Tools in a Windows Virtual Machine.

  If by chance, VMware Fusion is not properly mounting image VMware Tools windows.iso file then you have to do it manually.  It is located in "/ Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/isoimages/windows.iso" and will have to be copied, not moved, in a location that is accessible out of the bundle of VMware Fusion.app as the office.  If you need to do this, you can right click on the bundle of VMware Fusion.app see the content of the selection box and access its location to copy.  To assign the windows.iso on the CD/DVD image, take a look at: Connect and Set Up a CD/DVD Drive

• How to launch and use the VMware tools

  After installing 2008r2 as a virtual machine and install VMware Tools, I am unable to open the tools and use them.  I did two days of searching, and I can't find an answer to my problem.    Downstairs is an action I took, but I would appreciate any help from the community.

  Purpose:

  Laboratory at home training and certification.

  Hardware environment: (based on "Chris Wahl" home Build Lab)

  SuperMicro Motherboard MBD-X10SLH-F-O

  Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 3.30 GHz processor with 32 GB of ram

  Software environment:

  64-bit version of Windows 7 Professional, host operating system

  VMware Workstation 10 with all updates installed with administrator privileges

  VM #2: vSphere 5.1 install

  VM #1: The Windows 2008R2 VM I have a problem with VMware tools.

  I've deleted and rebuilt the two VM three times now, thinking it was my environment somehow.  ESXi 5.1 works although I have not built anything there yet.  I am able to access this part of the laboratory fine of vSphere Client.

  VMware Tools:

  Within the Services of VM 2008 I can see VMware Tools started service, the icon in the system tray notification area and see the files on the C: drive of the virtual computer, but there is no way to open it.

  I followed several links to create a virtual laboratory, but should not be this hard to run a program.  It's my first time that you try to use VMware tools, but I'm following the steps in the lab below install procedures.

  In the middle of the page of "Blog Editor" part 4 "build the ultimate vSphere Lab is where it installs the VMware tool and lowest after restarting Windows Update service I'm stuck to the next step."

  "Open VMware Tools, go to the Shrink ."  Click on the button of the prepare to shrink . »

  ?  How to "open the VMware Tools?

  Now on the path I have searched for and deleted and reinstalled the tools, but always without success.

  Here is a link where I found the following measures to be taken, but it doesn't work either.  The "NOTE" at the bottom, it's something I noticed and made sure was right when I installed the last time tools.

  I even found a link to where you can download the tools separately from the ISO files, and yet, it does not work.  A LITTLE HELP PLEASE!

  http://www.vdsyn.com/Windows-2008-R2-virtual-machine-VMware-tools-shows-not-running-current-after-vmotionsnapshot-operations-randomly/

  So next step that we did was
  1 uninstalled VMware Tools in the virtual machine
  2 restarted the VM
  3. manually deleted/renamed the C:\Program VMware Tools
  4. manually deleted/renamed C:\Programdata\VMware\VMware tools
  5 Rebooted
  6. install the VMware tools
  7 Rebooted

  The issue is not reproducible after the same

  
  NOTE: Make sure that the virtual computer CD player points to the correct image.  I found it always go back to the windows 7 iso image on my C: drive from physical machines to where the image 2008r2 was on drive E:

  No need to reinstall again. You're not missing something. VMware has changed the VMware Tools tray and removed options that were available in previous versions. Take a look at for example experience front of VMware: The VMware Tools GUI is gone - now what? with some information about this change and the replacement of the command line.

• The VMWare Tools on Windows 2003 Svr Setup error

  Hello

  I'm using VMWare Workstation 9.0.1 build-894247 under Win 7 x 64 and and try to install VMWare tools on a WIndows 2003 Svr Standard guest but keep getting the error "Error 1335 the cabinet file 'Toolbox.cab' required for this installation is damaged and cannot be used...". "The installation of Win 2003 SP2 and all updates from MS, I got this error several times.

  A screenshot is attached.

  Any suggestions?

  I have no problem with installation/update of the VMWare tools for other Windows guests that I recently installed.

  Thank you

  John Davis

  Verify that the checksum MD5 or SHA1 of the file windows.iso in the working directory of VMware Workstation is as indicated below.

  For version windows.iso of VMware Tools file 9.2.2.894247:

  MD5 = 8d9a47fddf3988bb1fcb62bb21d3fa8f
  SHA1 = 6a55b0d276a3442589d6a4892fa8759e8ca42712
  

  These values have been generated, based on the extracted windows.iso file of Tools-windows - 9.2.2.exe.tar should be the same one included in the WS 9.0.1 installed.  Note: The checksum SHA256 for the file windows-tools - 9.2.2.exe.tar has been verified against its value published prior to extraction.

• Update the VMWare tools on all machines virtual Windows

  Is it possible to use the PowerCLI update the VMWare tools on all virtual Windows machines to the latest version. I know I can do this individuall but I wanted to see if there a way to use something similar to a for each loop through a virtual machine at a time. I'm new to the power of vmware and the vix api cli and it's the first task I am trying automate (automating installation of all guests including linux would be perfect if I could loop through all clients using the same command). I am a new detailed explanations would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Loren

  It's pretty simple in his PowerCLI, you combine just 2 cmdlets with a pipeline.

  Get - VM | Update-Tools

  You can make the choice of the guests a little more complex.

  For example:

  Get-VM-name Srv * | Update-Tools

  will update only the tools on customers whose name starts with SRV.

  See the cmdlet Get - VM for more details.

  You can also set it update tools should immediately reboot if necessary.

  What you can do with the NoReboot parameter on the cmdlet Update-Tools .

  Get-VM-name Srv * | Update-tools - NoReboot

• Update the VMware Tools without installing gcc

  Hello everyone,

  I have a couple of boxes Debian and Ubuntu (& gt; 100) in various race DMZ. When I am updating the linux kernel, I have to update the VMware tools as well. My problem is that these boxes are not allowed to have an Internet connection and an installed gcc.

  Does anyone has an idea how Handel who? Is it not possible to have a central host where the new version of VMware tools are compiled and one can distribute them to other boxes?

  Thanks in advance!

• Update only the vmware tools?

  Hi all

  
  Recently we received BSOD on server 2012. Microsoft is continuing its investigation, but it seems likely vmxnet3 drivers are involved. Therefore, we would like to update.

  However, given that we are now very busy on a project, we would like to avoid completely updated vcenter and ESX (if possible). So my question is, can we day purely VMXNET3 driver to the latest version on our virtual machine? Or maybe only the VMWare tools? Or is there a possibility for stability/performance issues if you do not keep everything on the same version?

  
  Thanks in advance!

  This isn't a problem, running new versions of VMware Tools on the former ESXi hosts is supported only by the product VMware interoperability matrices:

  

  

• The VMware Tools ISO image does not exist or is not accessible

  I have a few virtual machines with a yellow exclamation mark on the vmware tools icon indicating that they can be updated. When I try and update vmware tools manually, I get the error: "VMware ISO image tools exist or is inaccessible. See the error of the stack for more details on the cause of this problem". Below in the window of the error stack, I see messages, 'called 'VirtualMachine.MountToolsInstaller' or object < servername > ESXi '192.168.3.39' failed. Cannot install VMware Tools. An error occurred trying to access the image file ' / usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/windows.iso ' to install VMware Tools: 0 (input/output error). If your product comes with the module of VMware tools, VMware ESX to reinstall, then try again to install the VMware Tools package in the virtual machine. »

  I got messages stating I must check vmtools directory symbolic links and I think that those who are present. I also tried to manually navigate to the image file, but it seems that there is a problem any with the file system. See the images below:

  

  ESXi installed on a USB key. The directory of the iso images is corrupt? Can anyone help me on how can I fix? Should I just replace the USB key, or is there another way?

  See the input / output error on the screen usually indicates a faulty drive (or in this case device USB). I wouldn't waste a lot of time and replace the USB key.
