How the news works of linux vmware-tools associated with the support of actions HGFS?

Just to clarify, if it is possible to get from VMware Tools for Linux Guest users qualified/developer/maintainer.

If memory serves me right, from 12 Workstation, VMware Tools for modified Linux related with the way it handles stocks HGFS.

Installation of VMware tools on many Linux guests, I always see the same behavior.

In some installations it build hgfs module, in others it seems fair to connect on vmhgfs-fuse executable. No module hgfs not charged in this case of the kernel then HGFS works as expected.

Exactly how it works under the hood, how to install VMware Tools/config, can determine whether it is necessary to build the module or just run vmhgfs-fuse?

Well, strange person, not even VMware guys come on this subject. IMHO is a really interesting thing, I almost always use shared folders between guests and hosts, it's so easy and simple WHEN IT WORKS.

The fact that no-one comes on this thread, show what I think always: products like workstation are profoundly less used, average people IMHO use 30/40 per cent of the potential software.

Then, with a few hours and a few Linux guests many kind in hand machines (work with tools in both modes, hgfs.ko or fuse), investigated and found how it works by myself.

This is what I found.

Recent versions of VMware Tools for Linux now seems to check the fuse package installed on guest system installed and when they found him, they try to use vmhgfs-fuse (formerly an Open-vm-tools executable) to mount hgfs actions without the need of the hgfs.ko module and so without needing to compile the module often broken kernel. For example, hgfs.ko thin build up to kernel branch 4.4 and it is broken again on 4.5.

The script vmware-config - tools.pl also seems power - also when it detects the fuse package - properly configure autostart for hgfs share.

That's all, and it's very useful for me. Hope it will be for others.

  • How to enable shared folders on VMWare Tools under ESX4

    On a windows server is running on a host ESX 4, VMWare Tools reports that the shared folders are currently disabled on the host.

    How enable and use it?

    Hello

    (VMware Shared Folders) vmhgfs driver will not work with ESX or ESXi, it is only for the workstation, Fusion, a player of nd. I would put in a virtual firewall that denies all access and dev environment, until you're ready to share data.

    You can then open a port on the firewall and have a system to capture these data via the port. The alternative is to use something like a Keyspan USB hub IP and write data on a USB key, and then physically move to the side of the "production" of the House.

    In general I find instead of much easier virtual firewall... VMsafe even won't work here.

    Good bye

    What is the difference between VMware Tools and Open Virtual Machine Tools?

    Copy and paste this question into Google!

    By chance, you have your repository in order to always download the latest version?

    I use only VMware tools and always uninstall first Open Virtual Machine Tools and also use - clobber-kernel-modules = if necessary when installing the VMware Tools on the distributions that have Open Virtual Machine Tools installed.

  • VMware Tools * STILL * does not support Windows 95

    I'm tired of this.  I reported this problem for several versions of VMware.  Guys actually you check operating systems, you say that you support?

    Good, our guys installer described workaround for me:

    1. download and install the Microsoft Windows Installer Redistributable for Win9x: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=cebbacd8-c094-4255-b702-de3bb768148f

    2. Mount the ISO image (winPre2k.iso in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation) tools. (Or just choose "VM > install VMware Tools" in the menu, which will automatically mount the image).

    3. If autorun is enabled, it will trigger setup.exe, which will break.  Ignore this.  Right click on the CD drive, select 'Open' and then double-click on the file "VMware Tools.msi".

  • How will I know if a host is associated with a vCenter Server

    Once my 5.0 ESXi host is managed by / code with a vCenter server, there are some commands that you can perform only through the vCenter.

    In particular, all-hard drive size, whole-controller SCSI and Set-VMReservations.

    In case my vCenter is down, I would leave my script (PowerCLI 5.5r1) with a mistake that these operations cannot be executed until start of vCenter or the host that contains the virtual machine is no longer active with vCenter.  I think it's safe to let the user decide how he wants to move forward in this case and not build it in my script.

    Is there a cmdlet to ask the host if it is associated with a vCenter Server?  When you use VI Client to connect to the host, you can see the link in the lower right part of the Summary tab that says "separate host to vCenter Server...". ».

    The get-VMHost cmdlet seems like it should have this info, but I was not able to find.

    Thanks for your suggestions

    Maureen

    Please take a look to determine vCenter management host to see if that helps.

  • ThinApp IE 8 working on a VMware view image with IE 10 or 11 is installed in native mode

    I am creating a thinapp for IE8 so our users can get back to IE8 if they fall into compatibility problems when we switch to IE 10 or 11 of the EI. So I installed Thinapp 5.0 on a XP computer and followed the following KB. http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1026674

    The thinapp I created works very well on my current image with IE 8 natively installed but when I update Native IE 8 to 10 or 11 I get the following error

    The instruction at 0x5e036ac3 referenced memory at 0x5e036ac3. The memory could not be written

    If anyone has found a solution, or if you have virtualized IE8 with the current version of thinapp please put your instructions. Thank you

  • How to lock monitor Adobe (emission of mercury associated with)

    I have installation AE to my current computer to a TV (Adobe Monitor 1). I want to do is keep a model specific to the TV while I change one of its comps in a separate window on my computer screen comp. With mercury pass, the image transmitted on television is still tied to my selected calendar.

    Normally when I work with two comps, I lock among the viewers of the model so that the AE pass the image when I pass a calendar to change the demo. I would like to be able to lock the model transmitted on television, so that I can change the demo on my primary monitor and see the direct differences on the computer on the TV.

    Is it possible and if yes, how can I do?

    This is possible in after effects CC 2015. You can "lock" a specific composition for external video preview by clicking the switch Viewer in the lower left corner of the Composition Panel. This switch also blocks the audio output of this composition.

    The switch Viewer is new in after effects CC 2015. After effects CC 2014 and earlier versions, the switch always found this view (also in the lower left corner of the Composition Panel) will act as the "lock" for the external video preview, in addition to its standard to choose what view of composition to use when you start a snapshot. In after effects CC 2015, now you can separately control these behaviors.

  • UCS Plugin - How will I know if a blade is associated with related?

    I use the Plugin UCS to associate a Service profile with a blade. When I do, the function call returns immediately. But I want to wait that the blade be associated before proceeding. How to figure out when the blade is made combining? The UcsmBlade.status parameter is not good, it returns without return Null.

    A detailed example of a use case is described on the blog of vCO:

    http://blogs.VMware.com/Orchestrator/2011/04/sample-scenario-for-the-Cisco-UCS-Manager-plug-in.html

    Step 3, 4 and 5 of this use case are:

    3 assign the Service profile to a blade

    4. wait for the association must be true (the blade is going to be started)

    5 do something else after that depending on the result (for example, send a notification to someone)

    This should provide you with the information required to complete your use case.

  • How will I know what program/Application is associated with a given file extension?

    General question: How can I determine what Application is using a certain file extension? Some are well known, such as .doc for MS Word, MS Excel .xls, PDF for Adobe Acrobat. But is there a master list somewhere which is viewable by the general public?
    This question came from what I was gettnig low disk space on my hard drive and do some research, and found a group of 5 files with extension. ECW, for a total of almost 50 MB. After trying for a few hours to find on the Web, what type of program may have created these files, I let fall, back up the files on a CD and has deleted and restarted. So far, no bad consequences, but still a little scary.
    I think that all software manufacturers should have to register their extensions with MicroSoft, correct? To repeat: is there a list published, or how to find this information in the future?

    Alphabetical list of filehttp://filext.com/alphalist.php?extstart=%5ED extensions

    Scroll to the end, click on the alphabet to find the extension and program to open with.
