Download Vmware Tools Tar.gz File

Setting up a CentOS 7 VM using VMWare Workstation 12.1.0, I got a compilation error for VMWare Tools 10.0.0 I researched this problem and discovered that VMWare released VMWare Tools 10.1.0 to fix this problem. So I downloaded VMWare Tools 10.1.0 (from MyVmware) and got VMware-Tools-10.1.0-core-4449150.tar.gz in my download directory. This is not what I expected - the word "core" is in the downloaded file name - I had expected just a complete 10.1.0 tar.gz. When I tar -xvf VMware-Tools-10.1.0-core-4449150.tar.gz I do NOT get a vmware-tools-distrib directory. Please advise. I do not see how I can use VMware-Tools-10.1.0-core-4449150.tar.gz

Also, the 10.0.10 version you mentioned may not solve the compilation error problem I encountered. My research (via Google) suggests that VMWare corrected the compilation error problem in release 10.1.0 - but as you know, I'm having trouble locating the tar.gz for the complete 10.1.0 version.

Essentially, all vmware instillation guides and docs rely on the VMwareTools-x.x.x-yyyy.tar.gz file which is supposed to exist on the CDRom when you mount it from within the guest OS. However when I mount the CDRom this file does not exist. There are windows exe and .bat files but no linux installers or tools on the CD.

instead and was asked 30 or so questions which I answered all by following the default as I have no clue as to what any of those are doing and there is no explanation to that, neither in console nor in the KB from vmware. And with that I finally succeeded.

Make sure that you are logged in to the guest OS. Mount the virtual cd drive in the guest, launch a terminal, and use tar to uncompress the installer. Then, execute vmware-install.pl to install VMware tools.

I get "vmtoolsd is running" - this sounds good to me? Ok, but in the vCenter when I look at the VM summary it says "VMware tools is not installed on this virtual machine" and also, when I look in the summary details it says "VMware Tools: Running, version 9344 (Not Installed)

2-After doing all that it will reboot and it will ask you to type ./amp-amp install but if you hit that it will tell you to please install the VMWare tools before continue... so before doing that do this:

Verify the VMware tools version after upgrading, you can use the vmware-toolbox-cmd -v command. The version should show as 10.3.25.1451 (build-20206839). You can also check the version in the vSphere client, where it should show as 10360 (Current).

Problem:

Running vmware-install.pl you get the following:

./vmware-install.pl

The following VMware kernel modules have been found on your system that were

not installed by the VMware Installer. Please remove them then run this

installer again.

Solution

This suggests other modules are already installed. In my case Open Source modules. In my case I opened YAST Software Management from the terminal and did a search for vmware which revealed that one of the following modules were already installed:[INDENT]

vmware-guest-kmp-pae

vmware-guest-kmp-desktop

vmware-guest-kmp-default

Trying to remove one forced installation of another. To preven this, tag the unselected modules as Taboo and delete the already installed module. This will prevent YAST from trying to install one of the unwanted opensource modules.

The un-install should fix the original problem[/INDENT]

on esxi 5.5 vmware tools are provided in .tar.gz package,

mount tools cdrom , extract the tarball (tar xf vmtools.tar.gz) then run vmware-install.pl script (IMPORTANT you will need gcc & kernel-sources before installing tools)

I guess VMware needs to fix their repository then. An alternative you

have is to download the RPMs from there manually and put them in a

directory in your network, then set that up as its own repository.

Another alternative is to just install the tools from there manually as

required by their documentation.

Hi,

I decided to try out Arch Linux in VMware Player before installing it on my system. The installation so far has gone well but I can't succeed in installing the VMware tools services. During installation I get several errors and warnings. These are the errors:

Yeah. We try to discourage that; the point of a package management system is to manage those files in the file system that are outside of the areas that belong to users. I would strongly suggest that you install the wmware tools using the AUR.

Starting from Nexthink V6, the Appliance is distributed with the open-vm-tools package already pre-installed. Therefore, no action is required on your part. When you deploy the Appliance in a VMware environment, it directly benefits from the features provided by the package. In addition, the package is automatically updated via the Appliance updates whenever a new version is available.

If for some reason you need to install the commercial version of VMware Tools, uninstall the open-vm-tools package first and then proceed as follows. Note however that VMware recommends the use of open-vm-tools on those platforms where the package is available, so do not install the commercial version of VMware Tools unless you really know what you are doing.

In September we announced that VMware Tools 10.0.0 Released and that VMware is now shipping VMware tools outside of the vSphere releases. Since then, we have received a lot of feedback from the community, customers, and internal folks alike. I would like to let everyone know that we have listened and we continue on our path to make VMware Tools lifecycle (and ESXi lifecycle for that matter) easier and less painful than how it may appear today.

Know that if you are not just updating the tools within each ESXi Host, there are several steps you will need to take (these are also discussed in the FAQ as well as below in the AutoDeploy/Host Profiles section):

The xxxx-no-tools image is exactly that; an ESXi image without the VMware Tools folders. This drops the size of the installation in half down to roughly 150 Megabytes. There are definitely many PROS to doing it this way: Faster boot times, less network saturation, single location for VMware Tools (easier to manage Tools binaries), etc. However, just using xxxx-no-tools image with Auto Deploy is not enough, you must also configure your Host Profiles to point to the Shared Product Locker.

You install VMware Tools in a Windows VM by choose that option on the guest menu. If you really do need a Tools ISO for whatever reason, you can download a ZIP or tar.gz archive that includes one here:

So, far I have not been able to figure out how to make this iso, The support stuff I have found is vague about it, and says it is tools stuff on the ESXi server, but not how or what goes into creating it.

I am posting this here because I struggled with this and ultimately found the solution elegantly saved in another website which is no longer up (wayback machine: ://www.utterlyforked.com/vmware-fusion-5-and-cent-6-4/)

The installation of VMware Tools 10.0.0 build-3000743 for Linux completed

successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any

time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".

Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by

invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want

this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]

VMware automatic kernel modules enables automatic building and installation of

VMware kernel modules at boot that are not already present. This feature can

be enabled/disabled by re-running vmware-config-tools.pl.

Two: some security conscious organisations do not allow the gcc Compiler and/or the Linux Kernel sources to be installed on the VM guests. Both the gcc Compiler and the Linux Kernel sources are mandatory for the successful installation of VMware Tools using the tar.gz file.

Clicking on this link will give you the following list of files.Do a right-click Save-As and save these files to a location of your choice. I settled for a folder called vmwaretools on my Desktop. Also create a folder within vmwaretools called repodata, and also download the files from _64/repodata into your vmwaretools/repodata directory. Once these two tasks have been complete you will see the following directory contents of vmwaretools.And the contents of vmwaretools/repodata.Now you will need to download the VMware Packaging Public Keys. Create a directory called keys within vmwaretools/ Point your web browser to and download all of the files into your vmwaretools/keys directory. The contents of the keys directory should look like this

1. While logged into the server via the console (directions above), perform the following steps to install VMware tools. Please know the below directions are specific to RHEL 5.x and CentOS 5.x only. If your virtual machine is different, the steps below may not match exactly.

Installing VMware tools is one of the key parts to any virtual machine (VM) OS build process. VMware tools is a group of utilities that help enhance the overall performance of the VMs guest OS and improves management of the VM. If you were to operate without VMware tools installed the guest OS performance could potentially lacks some important functionality. I have put together some recommended steps showing how to install the VMware tools on Centos.

open-vm-tools is a set of an open source services and modules for VMware from third parties and contains utilities that enhances virtualisation, administration, management and functions of the VM in VMware environments. 2351a5e196
