    Hello

    Upgrade VMware Tools from 11.0 to 11.1 in Xubuntu 14.04 fails - see the error message below.

    My Xubuntu 14.04 is up-to-date. I've recently performed 'apt - get dist-upgrade'.

    I can continue with the installation, but then shared folders does not work.

    I don't know what the problem... Everything has worked fine up to 11.0 and I never had problems with VMware Tools upgrade. Help, please.

    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 again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make

    and your kernel sources are installed on your computer.

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

    [Press the Enter key to continue]

    As Barney42 pointed out, this question comes with the new kernel 3.13.0 - 46. And indeed helped me to find a workaround:

    Tools can be patched manually. In vmhgfs.tar, inode.c d_alias should be replaced by d_u.d_alias put it back to the tar and then recompile tools.

    Here is a script that does this (tested on ubuntu 32 bit 14.04, vmware workstation on a windows host 11.1):

    #!/bin/sh -x
    cd /usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source
    tar xf vmhgfs.tar
    grep -q d_u.d_alias vmhgfs-only/inode.c && echo "already patched" && exit 0
    sed -i -e s/d_alias/d_u.d_alias/ vmhgfs-only/inode.c
    cp -p vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs.tar.orig
    tar cf vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs-only
    vmware-config-tools.pl -d -m

    NOTE: This makes incompatible tools with older versions of the kernel, i.e. 3.13.0 - 45.

    (Original post at askubuntu)

    However, @VMware-team, please do run again out of the box, or submit a patch for the Linux kernel. You are a large business, should be no problem.

  • upgrade VMware tools

    I answered the request of upgrading vmware tools on both servers in 5 days.

    main of the application server 1 does not start, missing is not dll. Seller working on it.

    backup server 2 application starts not due missing dll failed.

    Y at - it some problem discussed not related to upgrading vmware tools?

    We see it in our environment during the upgrade of 3.5 to 4.0.  The solution that we use is to copy the file msvcp71.dll c:\windows\system32 or c.\windows\syswow64 if it is a x 64 comments. After the upgrade of the tools and reboot, you can copy the file if it is deleted.  Search the forums for the name of the dll and you can find a few messages about this.

  • Upgrade VMware Tools in the form of scheduled tasks

    Hi all

    I need to upgrade my VM to the latest version of VMware Tools (9.0.10 since 5.1.0 Update 2).

    As some of the virtual machine are used in a production environment, reset must be done during the night on weekends.

    I wanted to create a scheduled task for the automatic update of the VMware Tools, but unfortunately, this task is not available.

    I wonder if there is a way to create tasks scheduled using the Scheduler of vSphere.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    Best regards, Werner

    Hi Werner,.

    PFB the process to install VMtool without restarting the machines.

    1. click on any virtual machine that needs the tools updated

    2. right click on the vm and hover over the comments and select Install/Upgrade VMware tools

    3. click on automatic tools upgrade and Advanced Options enter the command of follow-up

  • Upgrade VMware Tools in ESXi

    Hello

    I can't find how to upgrade vmware ESXi 4.0 to latest tools, or is it automatically upgrade itself to the latest version? I mean not for the guest OS but for ESXi. So when I install VMware Tools on a new guest OS I get the latest VMware tools.

    Thank you

    / Martin

    Hello

    You need to update your ESXi host, usually new updated comes with its own updated VMware tools. Use the Manager to update to patch/update your ESXi hosts. Once the host is update/upgrade VMware tools in the virtual machines will also have the opportunity to upgrade to the latest version.

    Hope this information is helpful

  • Upgrade VMware Tools post 5 upgrade

    I have updated vCenter to 5 and have my first ESXi host also running 5. Most of the time, it was a pretty easy upgrade. Now, I have two other guests are still running 4.1 and all our virtual machines are run on these hosts. By doc upgrade, then next step is to upgrade VMware tools for each virtual computer. Almost all of our machines virtual under Windows 2 k 8 and 2 k 3.

    The problem I have is in vSphere Client 5, when I try to upgrade the tools, it throws an error that the tools are already up to date. I don't know what is the current version, but I show version 8.3.2 build 257589 installed. If I try to vMotion one of these virtual machines to the ESXi 5 host, he erred in declaring the virtual material is incorrect.


    The specific error is "the version of VMware Tools is already up to date" installed in the virtual machine

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Josh

    The error has nothing to do with VMware tools. It is more a problem with the types of CPU of the ESXi host and cluster settings. What type/model of CPU you have in your hosts and have you enabled EVC on the cluster?

  • Certificate error, upgrade VMware Tools

    I get this error when you try to install or upgrade VMware Tools in VMware Player.

    Does anyone have a solution for this?

  • Snapshoting a virtual machine (Windows or Linux) before a upgrade VMware Tools as a precaution

    Our company has standardized on the use of VMware snapshoting than a level 1 to save uninstall mechanism possible to issues related to the updates / patches.  It works very well for Windows updates on our Windows guests, as well as the updates I YOU on our Linux guests.

    My question is if anyone thinks that there is a risk associated with the use of this process to guard against a possible problem that might occur after an upgrade VMware Tools.

    The process would be: Patch ESX host, migrate a guest to host newly patched, instant, prompt, install VMware Tools update, restart, test and certify, delete the snapshot.

    Since you're snapshoting a system that has an older version of VMware Tools, it's a bad idea to rely on this snapshot in a recovery scenario?  Use the VMware Tools as part of the process of snapshoting a guest?

    Thank you all for any advice you may have!

    Matt Heldstab

    Yes, you can snapshot before the upgrade tools and come back if something don't jive.  To take it even further, you can snapshot before the hardware upgrade of the v7 and return to v4 if it does not work.

    Seems like a lot of works well, but it does not offer a good backup method.

  • upgrade vmware tools with orchestrator

    I still have many armies ESXi 3.5 although I updated my environment to ESX 4 3/4.  The task of rehabilitation for the vmware tools upgrade does not work for virtual machines running on esx 3.5.  Can orchestrator automate the task of upgrading vmware tools on a host ESX 3.5 and reboot the virtual machine.  Does anyone have an example to help out me with?  I know probably possible, but I have just install Orchestrator and did nothing with it yet.  I was thinking that this may be a task well start with.

    vCO server comes with a plug-in of VC4.0 with which you can configure some hosts/VC only 4.0 and later versions. In order to run workflows on ESX 3.5 hosts, you need to install the plug-in, VI3.5 there in vCO/extras/plugins server. The file has the extension VMOAPP, you can change to .jar then check out the plugin VI3.5 .dar file. After installing correctly, you can then drill library of built-in workflow, for the category of the VMware Tools, which you can find the upgrade tools workflow. It would automate the up-gradation of the tools, as long as the toolsAutoUpdateSupported is set to true in the virtual machine. In addition, this API works successfully if the tools are not updated. For ESX 3.5 hosts, you must run the workflow in the VMS VIM3 management category.

    Hope it will be useful.

  • Create a workflow to upgrade VMWare tools

    We have an alert to tell clients VMWare tools is out of date, can someone create a workflow that would allow them to begin the upgrade.

    ActionPack for VMware vCenter does not provide the necessary steps to create this workflow from including 5.5.8 release with vFoglight 6.5.1.

    We CAN fix this in future versions. Stay tuned.

  • 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.

  • How upgrade VMware tools Web Client 5.5

    Hi all

    I was wondering how upgrade you VMware tools on a virtual machine in the web client 5.5 without using tools to upgrade to the next option reboot inside the virtual machine.  When you go into the VM options is grayed out just

    WebClient55vmtools.png

    Let me know,

    Thank you

    • The Web Client vSphere incorrectly invites you to update the VMware Tools, even in the last version.
    • A yellow banner will appear in the summary tab for the virtual machine with the message:

      VMware Tools is obsolete on this virtual machine.

    • The Web Client vSphere may or may not give you the option to update the VMware Tools.
    • When you try to update the virtual machine of VMware Tools reports the installed version is earlier than the version currently running.
    • In the view hosts and Clusters of the army of ESXi, related objects , the affected virtual machine tab shows the version of VMware Tools is common.
    • Tab summary of the view models and virtual computers for the affected virtual machine, VMware Tools version is listed as current.

    Cause

    When VMware Tools is installed in a virtual machine and the virtual machine is then migrated to a host older ESXi, vSphere Web Client correctly detects that the version of VMware Tools installed is equal to or greater than the version provided by the ESXi host where the virtual machine resides. However, the yellow banner is designed to match the version of VMware Tools exact provided by the host against the virtual machine.

    Resolution

    This question is only cosmetic.

    If the State of VMware Tools is listed as a current, you can ignore this message

  • Upgrade VMware Tools on Linux based virtual appliances

    I just updated a cluster of 5.1 to 5.5, some of the VMS are virtual appliances based on Linux (most of them on CentOS) which are fairly locked down (no easy access console) critical how's this for upgrade these types of virtual machines to the latest version of VMware Tools? I'm a little OCD and it bothers me that some of the VMS are VMware Tools reports that are "Stale" :-)

    Thank you.

    I know what you mean about the annoying notification bit... However, most of the providers WILL group and test vmtools as well as the Virtual Appliance that they release.

    The answer isn't vmtools upgrade, it has upgraded the Virtual Appliances.

    for example

    Installation of NetScaler virtual appliance on VMware ESX - Citrix eDocs

    You have a list of virtual appliances and you run versions?

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

    Some setting in context.

    ArcSight make an OVF vmware assessment based on Centos 6.2. I am able to install VMware tools on the ESXi 5.1 platform supported but NOT on VMware Workstation version 8.0.6 build 1035888 which is apparently not supported but works fine on my laptop.


    The big problem here is that the time on the host computer is massively adrift without VMware tools and make more from the point of the eval worthless SIEM.


    I'm sure it's a problem of script, but is not certain. When configuring VMware tools that occurs the following


    START INSTALLATION TEXT

    [root@logger bin]./vmware-config-tools.pl # ]

    Initializing...

    Ensuring services for VMware Tools are arrested.

    [EXPERIMENTAL] The synchronization of VMware filesystem (vmsync) driver is a new feature which

    creates backups of virtual machines. Please refer to the VMware Knowledge Base

    For more details on this ability. You want to enable this feature?

    [None]

    Before you can compile modules, you must have the following installed...

    do

    CCG

    headers of the kernel running kernel

    Looking for a CCG...

    The path "" is not a valid path to the GCC binary.

    You want to change it? [Yes]

    What is the location of the program CCG on your machine? CCG

    The path "/ usr/bin/gcc" is not a valid path to the GCC binary.

    You want to change it? [Yes]

    TEXT OF INSTALLATION END

    I played with the script Perl, but similar problems continue with the location of the kernel headers having precisely defined the variable PATH CCG.

    Thank you in advance. Kevin

    I solved this problem by upgrading VM Workstation v10 v8.

    All installed now.

    As a newbie here, is there a way I can move this post a status resolved?
