• Problem with VMWare Tools and the virtual drive

  Hello

  I installed the test version of "Workstation" and installed a windows 7 x 86 non-virtual DVD drive mapped, which is mounted on D:\.

  Subsequently, I installed all Windowsupdates and after that I tried to install the VMWare Tools.

  But every time I get the message that I should look on the 'virtual' drive on D:\.

  But there is no virtual drive, it is my DVD of the hostsystem.

  Is there a way to mount a virtual drive with tools or install them in another way?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You can directly install the VMware tool configuration by copying the setting in the machine and manually install the same.

  Try VMware on another machine tool in which you will get the installation... Copies on disk and then move it to your new VM and do a manual configuration.

• Problem with the mouse and the network after the upgrade VMware Tools and hardware to virtual machine

  Hello world...

  I just upgrade my ESX 3.5 servers to vSphere 4.1. All this work is very well with the upgrade right now.

  After that, I tried to mise a niveau of VMware Tools and hardware of VM for my virtual machine and the problems started.

  I tried with two different VM (the two Windows 2003) and the problem appears for the two VM.

  I don't want to test another VM of the different operating system now, I'm afraid to go too far with update of Pentecost the problem I have now.

  I tried two VM to be sure that the problem is not only on a virtual machine.

  First of all, the mouse.

  My mouse has jerky movement. The button works, but sometimes I have to click several times to select what I want.

  I tried to uninstall the mouse in Device Manager and reinstall, but not really Pentecost improvement which (buttons works better, but... not so sure).

  Second problem.

  After you restart the server after VMmware tools and hardware virtual machine, the network link not working anymore.

  When I go to my network card configuration, IP settings are reset in DHCP mode.

  If I go again all my IP settings, Windows says:

  The IP address is hidden from the network and Dial-up connections

  folder because it is not physically in the computer or is a riser

  It does not work. If the same address is assigned to both adapters and

  they become active, only one of them will use this address. This may result

  in the incorrect system configuration. You want to enter a different IP address

  address of this adapter in the list of IP addresses for this card in the list

  Advanced IP address in the dialog box

  If I answer Yes to this, I have to enter a new IP address, and of course, this is not what I want to do.

  If I don't answer, the network working again.

  I think it is a strange message but the work of the vSphere maybe network now.

  Anyone have any idea why my work network and mouse as this upgrade after.

  All other VM that is not upgraded so far works great.

  Thanks in advance...

  (1) make sure that your hardware acceleration is safe enough. I got the upgrade down my hardware acceleration several times already.

  (2) sounds like the new drivers for your NIC cards took over and VMware is basically a new card NETWORK for you. Follow these steps to disable it:

  (a) open a command prompt

  (b) type (without quotes): 'set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1' and press ENTER.

  (c) type (without the quotes): "start devmgmt.msc"

• 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

  Je would like to know What packages are needed for a correct installation et configuration of these Tools.

  Also, I have would like to know If there is a Ubuntu repository where to download and install the latest version of these Tools.

  Thank you

  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.

• Upgrade VMware tools and hardware on vSphere

  Hello

  After a few questions, I seem to be a host to complete my move to vSphere, and I'm looking at the next steps - VMWare tools and update virtual machine hardware.

  Now, it seems reasonable to me to upgrade to VMWare tools, but the material I'm undecided.

  As I see it, VMware tools requires a reboot, I won't be able to do in working time, but that's just a reboot (sure of 60 odd servers, but still it is probably worth the time spent), but the material of vmware seems not critical for me? VMS seem to be running ok (Mix of Linux, Windows 2003 and Windows 2008) and I wonder if I'll get all the benefits of the upgrade of these? Is there something that puts me in danger if I let the computer virtual hardware version 4?

  It is mainly a question I have organize downtime, and the upgrade seems not smooth at all (completely detach existing NIC? Loss of MAC address I linked to the servers of licenses etc.) so if there is no benefit at this point, I'll be ok to keep the version 4?

  All advice appreciated, if I missed anything big I'd appreciate knowing what!

  Thank you!

  Hello.

  You will miss out on some of the new features Virtual material, but if you're not having performance issues it is in somewhat of a moot point.  The biggest potential problem is leaving all these VMs v4 and runs the risk of another (or one that follows) version of vSphere perhaps not material no longer v4 support.  Hardware upgrades are inevitable, so it's really just a matter of do it now or do it later.  If you are comfortable delaying the inevitable, so there is no reason to upgrade to v7 now.

  Good luck!

• A few questions about VMware tools and U2 of ESXi 4.0 and 4.1

  In my workplace, there is a cluster of vSphere 4 six nodes containing 5 servers ESXi 4.0 U2 (4.0.0, 261974) and a server ESXi 4.1 (4.1.0, 260247).  Aparently, it was built that way in the environment concept then deployed into production and now I head for VMware deployment.  This environment is up in producgtion now for over 8 months with this configuration, but starting to be more widely used.  Ideally, I know, we should have all the nodes on the same patch level, but here's the question.

  Models used to get the operating system to the virtual machines in this environment were built on the apparently new 4.1 server using this version of VMware tools (Version 8.3.2 build-257859).  All so most of the running virtual machines, use this version of VMware tools.  Using this new version of VMware tools on a virtual machine running on a server ESXi 4.0 U2 ESXi would cause issues?  ESXi 4.0 U2 servers push version 4.0.0 build 261974 of the VMware tools, identical to the ESXi version.  The status of the VMware tools when the new 4.1 version is running on a host of U2 4.0 still shows as OK and we have operated this way for more than 8 months.

  Another problem is that we have still a few other virtual machines with the 4.0 build U2 VMware tools so when these virtual machines will eventually be VMotioned to an ESXi 4.1 host, VMware tools show as outdated.

  Until we can get of planned downtime to upgrade the servers, it should be like that for several weeks if possible.  We have HL7 interfaces on many of these virtual machines that are not too good with VMotion and being in an organization of health care, sometimes difficult to get downtime.  It is perhaps more possible to downgrade the only host to 4.0 U2 until we can plan time to upgrade all hosts.  I would keep the node in the cluster, even if for the moment, assuming that to release 4.1 with other guests at 4.0 U2 should not cause problems, since we can use the resources of that node in this cluster.

  Until then, ensuring that all the virtual machines in the cluster use the ESXi version 4.1 of the VMware tools (Version 8.3.2 build-257859) would be acceptable?  I just wanted to check that this version should be fully backwards compatible with the previous version of ESXi 4.0 U2, and as I mentioned before, its run like that and have noticed yet all the problems and the status of the VMware Tools also records OK when this new version works on ESXi 4.0 U2 host computer.  I just wanted some feedback from those of the community.

  Thank you

  Exactly, do you VMotion, virtual host 4.1 machine and if necessary would upgrade the VMware tools. To install VMware tools, it is necessary to restart the virtual machine.

  And another option that I say is the first upgraded version of all hosts ESXi4.0 U2 to 4.1, after that, you do an upgrade in the tools of all virtual machines vmware.

  Perfect.

  You´re are welcome!

• How update the vmware tools on the guest or virtualcenter

  Hello

  We run a store where we support some linux boxes.  We had some problems with time drift and other things and on our vmware guy suggested put us the version of VMWare tools on the guest or virtual Center.  The only problem is that I can't find a procedure for this.

  To clarify, I'm not how to install VMWare tools on virtual machines.  We know how to do and we know to recompile after we patch the kernel.  But our guys VMWare suggests that in the end we're just recompile the same old version of VMWare tools to make it work with the new kernel.

  In fact, we suspect the version we have is very old, that we have not successfully updated because we were running on 2.5 and are now running on 4.0 Update 1 (wait for the 4.1 support nexus is added).

  Thank you

  Dan

  Welcome to the forums!

  So I assume you mean updating the source VMware Tools, which is then used to update VMware tools in guests?

  The guy from VMware is true, recompile the tools is necessary after a kernel update has been done. It is not up-to-date version. However, you must do that to make them work again.

  The latest VMware tools comes with the latest product or updates/patches for this product. Information shows that the tools are not updated after you apply this hotfix or an update.

  They also can be downloaded here (for ESX 4.x) : http://www.vmware.com/patch/s3portal.portal?_nfpb=true&_windowLabel=SearchPatch&SearchPatch_actionOverride=%2Fportlets%2Fpatchupdate%2FdisplayAllBundlePatches&_pageLabel=s3portal_pages_downloadPatch_page

• VMware tools changes the Windows disk time-out value

  Does anyone know if the VMware tools installation modifies the windows disk timeout value registry key

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/disc/TimeoutValue should be set to 3 c (60 seconds)

  as it appears my VM have this, but my medical examinations only and is by default 10 dry?

  Yes the VMware Tools changes the value to 60 seconds. Apparently, it was introduced in 3.0.2. I have it has not noticed only a few months before.
