• Can how fast I get a virtual network adapter on a computer server VMware vmware tools installed w/o?

  Hello

  I use a custom Linux VM on a Linux VMware Server host. That my Linux VM is on measurement, I don't want to install VMware tools on my virtual machine. My question is without VMware tools installed on my virtual machine, is it possible for my virtual machine to connect at gigabit speeds. My server host has a gigabit network connection.

  Thank you

  without vmware-tools, make sure you that you use the E1000 nic in the comments and not the obsolete AMD

  Check with the vmx file and make sure that you have

  ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".

• Update VMware tools - shows "does not work".

  I'm having a problem where vmware tools say that they are not running.

  VM = Server 2008 R2 core - console open after clicking on upgrade vmtools/interactive

  past to the drive (d :) to cdrom and ran the setup64.exe

  all is well and restarted

  and now under vmware tools just says he does not

  I can ping the server and it seems that the tools are running as I can the mouse in the console window without having to leave the cursor etc..

  However it is said that they are not running and the vmware tools service does not, either. The error of the service gives when I try and start it is:

  "Error 2: the system cannot find the file specified. '.

  All other services seem to work fine on the server.

  Any ideas?

• VMware Tools error, can not download and install the tools: "internal error of the client CD (3033). Contact your system or VMware Support Administrator"

  Hello

  I installed Windows Pro 8.1 x 64 RTM with Rollup GA A on PC, after that I installed VMware Player 6.0.1 and when I tried to download and install VMware Tools, I got the following error message: "internal error of the client CD (3033).» Contact your administrator system or VMware Support. »

  How can I install these tools? Please, fix the problem with the Server CD, I need to install VMware Tools.

  I tried to download on the deposit of CDS - / www/internship/session-32/cds/vmw-desktop/player but there is no record for the VMware Player 6.0.1 version, while the Tools-windows - 9.6.0.exe.tar is a strange form, how can I install these tools in VMware Player?

  Thank you.

  Workaround solution:

  1. download the trial of VMware Workstation 10

  2. install

  3. navigate to the Program files VMware Workstation 10

  4. find windows.iso, copy to USB or transfer it to some hosting

  5. go the machine to hosts, copy on it windows.iso

  6. inside of the guest computer mount windows.iso as drive

  7 install tools

  8 restart the guest computer

  That's all

  P.S. I am very disappointed, that such large and respected company, like VMware, after almost a month, since the question has been raised cannot pay 10 minutes and fixes a bug with CD-server and allow their users to download & install VMware Tools without any problems, even if we are talking about free product such as VMware Player!

• 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.

• Stop virtual machines with or without VMware tools installed

  So after a power failure major where I work has taken place where the batteries of the UPS only ran about 10 minutes and the emergency generator didn't kick in, I was put in charge of writing a script that starts to stop the virtual machines and servers in a given cluster. Now that I am relatively new to the environment here, so I don't know if all the virtual machines have the tools are installed. I want to cover all bases and the virtual machines that do not have the tools installed. My script done now is it initiates closing the comments on all the virtual machines and check every 10 seconds to 120 seconds for virtual machines go offline if after 120 seconds, there are even virtual machines online, it issues a shutdown command on all servers that have not stopped. Now, he'll catch all the virtual machines, but I don't want the machine have to wait 2 minutes before totality if it can be avoided (remember that this script will be executed when the data center goes to the power of the UPS for every watt account to keep critical systems online). the script throws an error when it cannot stop because no tool is installed, so I thought I could use a try/catch block to catch the error and send just a detroit of turning control of these VMs off. I tried to do, but without success.

  Is it possible that I can either catch the error, or a stop all virtual machines that do not have the tools installed?

  Attached is my code, maybe you can spot what can I do to stop the virtual machines without tools within the do / while loop when errors occur first.

  Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core
  $server = $args [0]
  $cluster = $args [1]
  SE connect-VIServer-Server $server
  $counter = 0
  {}
  If (Get-Cluster-name $cluster | get - vm | where {$_.powerstate - eq 'receiving'}) {}
  If ($counter - eq 0) {}
  Get-Cluster-name $cluster | get - vm | where {$_.powerstate - eq "receptor"} | stop-VMGuest-confirm: $false
  }
  Write-Host "VMs are on waiting" (120-$counter)"seconds"
  $counter = $counter + 10
  Sleep 10
  }
  }
  While ($counter - 110)-or ((Get-VMHost |)) Get - VM | where {$_.powerstate - eq "receptor"}) .count)-No 0
  If ($counter = 120) {}
  Write-Host "certain virtual machines did not not stop properly, tension now.
  Get-Cluster-name $cluster | get - vm | where {$_.powerstate - eq "receptor"} | Stop-VM-confirm: $false
  }
  Write-Host "Putting servers into maintenance mode."
  Get-cluster-name $cluster | Get-vmhost | where {$_.state - eq 'connected'} | Game-VMHost-State "Maintenance".
  Sleep 10
  Write-Host "stop servers."
  Get-cluster-name $cluster | Get-vmhost | where {$_.state - eq 'Maintenance'} | Stop-VMHost-confirm: $false
  Disconnect-VIServer-confirm: $false

  Try something like this

  $vm = Get-VM
  $vm | where {$_.Guest.State -eq "Running"} | Shutdown-VMGuest -Confirm:$false $vm | where {$_.Guest.State -eq "NotRunning"} | Stop-VM -Confirm:$false
  

  Virtual machines running VMware tools will get a judgment of comments, while the virtual machines that do not have the VMware tools running, will get a poweroff.

• the alarm when VMWare Tools installed?

  Hi friends,

  I want to set up an alarm to be triggered when the client install VMWare tools. Is it possible to do? I saw not all defined event to do this.

  Thanks in advance.

  I don't think there is an event defined for the installation of the tools you mentioned, when you right-click on a VM under tension and make an installation of tools he calls - MountToolsInstaller that doesn't return any value back to listen to you. Most likely, it generates a task in which you can find probably the system and the trigger of broad, but nothing in real time at default of the vSphere API.

• VMware tools install question

  Hi all

  I recently installed vmware player 3.0.0.Build - 203739 and I now have a prompt of Win XP pro on my Win XP pro host.

  I initially had problems to get vmware tools to download whenever I was invited to download, the player said to me that he could not see the server (even if I was verifiable online).

  Today, when I walked into the virtual machine, I was prompted to download the tools and this time the download seems to start (at least, there is no error and the progress bar indicates the download worked).

  Current state, it's inside my VM menu, it says now "Cancel vmware tools installation"without doubt, implying that the installation is still progressing.  However, this message has been there for about six hours now.

  Can someone tell me if this installation is still ongoing, waiting or what?  I have to do something about that installation is complete?

  Thanks for your help!

  I met the same problem, but the tools got only downloaded and nothing more.

  In the status bar of the prompt, you see the logo of VMWare, but with a yellow triangle indicating that an upgrade of VMWare tools is available.

  If you see in the menu VM the words 'Cancel' and then do a "install VMWare tools". The changes are great that it works now. You just download VMWare Tools, but they must be installed by yourself.

• Is it possible to publish a model that doesn't have VMware tools installed on it?

  2.5 what I remember installing the vmware tools was not mandatory in the 3.0 if vmware tools is not installed, you cannot publish the model. is there a way to get around this?

  No problem. «Please change the status of this thread to "answer the Question".»

• 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".

• Get VMware Tools information and online media

  Hi, can someone please tell me vcops tell us the VMware tools information - as you have following the virtual computer with the old version of VMware tools.

  How, I get information about the media connected to the virtual environment?

  I know, we can do this with powershell. But I would like to know if we can do it with vcops.

  Thank you

• VMware Tools for ESXi not in running and not installed

  (nested) Tools of ESXi does not.

  I installed an ESXi 5.5 nested on a physical and installed 5.5 ESXi host tools on the virtual ESXi5.5.

  However both the client c# as the Web Client report not (not running, not installed) tools.

  When I type 'list of software esxcli vib', I see the esx-tools-for-esxi in the list.

  I have attached the vmware.log for the nested ESXi, I use nesting for several years only and had no problems.

  Thanks in advance

  You are hiding the fact that you run in a virtual machine, if the tools do not start.  Shut down the virtual computer, remove this line from your configuration file and restart:

• VMware Tools for Mac will not install bug.

  Hello I have a clean install of Mac OS x 10.9 I raise in a virtual machine but when I bring the VMware Tools installed, get an error:

  Cannot install VMware Tools on this disk.  VMware Tools requires Mac OS X 10.5 or higher.

  Screenshot attached.

  I've tried versions both 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 darwin.iso for VMware Fusion. but the same error.   I wonder what VMware is actually audit to determine the versions of operating system.   I have in the past summer success install the same software on the same computer, but I have tried to reinstall from scratch (more than once) and tried many changes of setting on both hosts and guests with no joy.   Anyone know how to fix?   

  Thank you.

  who was happy to install VMware tools...

  I'll tell you one last time...  When clean install OS X 10.9 Mavericks under VMware Fusion 6.0.2 VMware Tools are not automatically installed!

  In addition, it turns out that the "internal" or "removable" made no difference that I was able to move the vmdk from SATA, SCSI (appears inside the system) but that made no difference either but has been tested

  I have mentioned that the drive internal vs external because VMware Fusion before 6.0.2 has not created a good installer for OS X 10.9 Mavericks nor was it settled the case, and the fact that it was not properly installed may have been a contributing factor to the VMware Tools install problem not necessarily imply that the disk shows as external!

  I wonder if there is another way to install VMware Tools manually?  I can see the directory structure exposed within the darwin.iso but don't know if I can cp

  This straight out of the iso, but not being is not a Mac OSX expert... don't know if I can run alternate and no package installer idea what files are changed by install VMware Tools.

  Still confident enough, I can work around the issue of the installer.

  I just tested this on a clean build and with the help of pacifists opened the VMware Tools.pkg (Install VMware Tools.app/Contents/Resources/VMware Tools.pkg) in the bundle 'Install VMware Tools.app' on darwin.iso (VMware Tools for OS X) and "Selected files.pkg content" then clicked on install and check 'use administrator privileges '.  He basically just moved the files in places and then after that I restarted the computer virtual VMware Tools seem to work.  I tested VMware shared folders, copy & paste, drag & drop, and change the resolution of the screen... all seem to work fine, however it was simply intended as a test and not a recommended method to install VMware Tools and I don't know if it is essentially a complete installation.  I don't have the time now to analyze the two occurrences, one made appropriately and the other using pacifists to see if there is in fact no difference.

  I was also going to take the vmdk to another platform and see if any difference (doubt it will be)

  Any platform with not brand hardware Apple is a direct violation of the SLA products and may not be discussed in these forums!
