Install VMWare Tools does not not under Red Hat RHEL 5.2?
With the help of VMware Workstation 6.5.2.156735, I installed RHEL 5.2 without going through the "Easy install" option
He said that the VMWare Tools are installed when I tried to re - install, but my mouse is always captured and my screen resolution options are always locked at 800 x 600. What Miss me? I have to be logged in as root to install? He asked for the root password when I double-clicked the RPM and it seems that happy Installer.
Thank you in advance for any advice or suggestions,

You have only installed the files. Now you must configure tools. Run the configuration script tools. See the Setup Guide to guest for details operating system.

VMware Tools does not update...
Hello! I got this message when I tried to update my VMware Tools: "there was a problem updating a software component. Try again later and if the problem persists, contact your system administrator or the VMware Support. "What can I do to fix this?
To add to what Andrew said... Download and unzip the Tools-windows - 9.2.2.exe.tar on the host and then run the file tools-windows - 9.2.2.exe on the host. He then silently retrieves and installs files windows.iso and windows.iso.sig to VMware players Working Directory. Then just try to install VMware Tools normally by selecting install VMware Tools in the Virtual Machine menu. If this does not work then you will need to manually assign the ISO Image to VMware Tools (windows.iso) on CD/DVD to the virtual computer and then install from in the guest operating system by running setup.exe from the CD/DVD drive.

Hi team,
I cloned (copied the entire record of this virtual machine via scp copy) a virtual of Vcenter Vcenter 5.0 4.1 machine. But after turning on the machine (in Vcenter 5.0), is to show VMware tools are running up-to-date. Can someone please explain to me how I can install VMware tools for this virtual machine.
Thanks in advance,
Sisi.
No,
If you use standard options, vm will automatically update the tools and do a restart.
If you do not wan´t to automatically restart the virtual machine, you may use the interactive update and open a console on the virtual machine.
The CD of tools will be automatically mounted to your virtual machine and you could install the tool manual.

need a script to find vmware tools does not not on virtual machines
I need a script to find the virtual machines running without vmware tools?
Hello, nareshunik-
You can add an extra point to the filter to include only the virtual machines that are on, as:
## get names of powered-on VMs that either do not have Tools installed, or on which Tools are not currently runningGet-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name, Guest.ToolsStatus -Filter @{"Guest.ToolsStatus" = "toolsNotInstalled|toolsNotRunning"; "Runtime.PowerState" = "PoweredOn"} | Select Name, @{n="ToolsStatus"; e={$_.Guest.ToolsStatus}}
How does do for you?

VMware tools does not run after installation
Hi all
After installing the VMware tools, my mouse still does not go smoothly as before installing, I rechecked service runs, I don't need to hold ctr + alt to move comments to the host, or vice versa, I did uninstall and reinstall.

VI customer reports VMware Tools 'does not work '.
Hello people,
It becomes very annoying. He started to arrive since I upgrade ESX server with U2, U3 and Vcenter Server of U3 U4.
The problem is: from time to time, VI client, the State of the VMware Tools on different virtual machines (distributed on both ESX hosts) indicates "does not work". Can I open a session on the VMS, restart the VMware Tools service, then VI Client displays "ok". I wonder what causes this problem and ready to solve this problem.
I apprecaite your help.
Thank you.

Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you must
Configure it to your kernel running on the
following command: "/ usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl".
Config tools... He'll try to compile tools for your kernel, make sure you have the kernel and GCC installed headers. If the compilation fails, there should be a build any - any for the "vmware tools" somewhere on this site...

Looking at your mistakes, you seem to have an earlier version of the tools which are not uninstaled or tools are coming from another source when the installation program checks the files are already claimed. I first uninstall everything that claims these files and possibly clean/regen your db packace if necessary. Then, reinstall the tools and see if you still get errors with no alert clobber.

VMware tools are not installed
I have vmware player v6 on a windows machine
I installed windows 7 as a virtual machine on a windows computer, but I can't get vmware tools to install - because the installation process does not start.
In the vmware window, I click on manage/player/install VMware tools and nothing happens, never. I get no start installation upward. So I tried also to start/run/D:\setup and I get "Please insert a disc into the dvd drive. It's so useless, nothing I will get the installer to start and after trawling google ages each page says the same thing, which is what I tried already and who never works. WTF |. I have to do to get the vmware tools installer to run?
Edit: I also tried to download and tools-windows - 9.6.1.exe running and who has done sweet FA as well.
If you are using VMware Player 6.0,1 on a Windows host and you want to install VMware Tools in Windows 7, then do what follows is workaround to which question you encounter that does not automatically download the VMware Tools.
Tools-windows - 9.6.1.exe.tar on the host, not the comments, download and unzip it. Then run the file tools-windows - 9.6.1.exe. This (silently) installs VMware Tools for Windows (windows.iso) in the working directory of VMware Player. You should then be able to install VMware Tools normally on the Menu, but if it doesn't work then fix the windows.iso of CD/DVD virtual machine and run the installation from the Windows virtual machine.

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...

How to get address Virtual Machine MAC on which vmware tools is not installed
Hello
I'm putting the MAC address of a virtual machine in a string. At first, I was using this script:
strMACAddress = objVM.guest.net [0] .macAddress;
But as indicated in the title, the vmware tools are not installed on the virtual machine. I found a similar position in vSphere Web Services SDK:
http://communities.VMware.com/thread/254204
In this post, it is specified to use the script VcVirtualEthernetCard() object. I'm new to Orchestrator and I do not understand how to make a "myVcVirtualEthernetCard" link to my virtual computer object 'objVM '.
Example:
IN: objVM (VcVirtualMachine)
OUT: macAddress
var myVcVirtualEthernetCard = new VcVirtualEthernetCard();
macAddress var = myVcVirtualEthernetCard.macAddress;
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards
Fred
Hello!
You can browse the table config.hardware.device of the virtual machine:
IN: vm (Vc:VirtualMachine)
DEPARTURES: Macaddresses (Array/string)
//initialize macAddresses array (to make a push() possible later) macAddresses = new Array(); var deviceArray = vm.config.hardware.device; if (!deviceArray) throw "Error getting hardware config array of VM"; System.debug("deviceArray: " + deviceArray); //loop through array, find NICs and retrieve there MACs for (var i in deviceArray) { var currentDevice = deviceArray.pop(); if (currentDevice) { System.debug("currentDevice: " + currentDevice); if (currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualE1000 || currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualPCNet32 || currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet || currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet2 || currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet) { System.debug("found network card on " + currentDevice); macAddresses.push(currentDevice.macAddress) ; } } }
Please let me know if it works for you, or if you need more information :-)
Kind regards

VMware dear users,.
I'm quite new to vmware players.
My host system is OpenSuse 11.3 and I want to run Windows 7 (64) as a guest operating system. The windows installation went without any problems, but I am unable to have a display full screen of my guest operating system. I read somewhere on the web that it could be due to the fact that I have not installed VMWARE tools. When you click on "install VMWARE tools" I get the followign error.
Component not found on the update server. Contact VMware Support or your system administrator.
I use VMWARE player 3.1.3 build-324285.
Has anyone experienced the same issue?
Thank you all for your help.

How to get the MAC address of the virtual machine on which vmware tool is not installed
Hello
In our project, we communicate to vCenter/ESX and details of virtual machines using the VI - Java 4.0.0 SDK APIs
I use PropertyCollector for details.
But in the following cases
1. a virtual machine is poweredOff.
2 VMware tool is not installed on the virtual machine.
I am not able to get the mac using the PropertyColector address.
To get the macaddress property I use after crossing spec:
rootFolder (folder)-> childEntity (data center)-> hostFolder (Folder)-> childEntity (ComputerResource)
-> host (Hostsystem)-> vm-> guest (GuestInfo)-> net (GuestNicInfo)-> macaddress (in Virtualmachine)
I know the vSphere client uses the VI SDK to perform all operations, and I am able to see the macAddress of VirtualMachine in cases using vSphere client.
Is any body please help me get the macaddress of VM in the two cases.
Thank you
Deepak
Take a look at the dashboard feature of the virtual machine and specifically "VirtualEthernetCard": http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.device.VirtualEthernetCard.html
When you assign a new vNIC to each virtual machine, a unique MAC address generated is given by default. If you still want to map the actual interface of the guestOS, then you would take a look at guestInfo as you may have noticed IF you have the VMware Tools. Although the default is whence the MAC address
