How to Install VMware Tools

How to Install VMware Tools ?

Option 1 (Recommended by VMware) – VMware support of open-vm-tools

open-vm-tools is an open source implementation of VMware Tools from third parties and contains utilities that enhances virtualization management, administration and functions of the virtual machine in VMware environments. The ultimate goal is to enable the operating system vendors and/or communities and virtual appliance vendors to bundle VMware Tools into their product releases.

# yum install open-vm-tools

Option 2 :

1. Install prerequisites :

# yum install perl gcc make kernel-headers kernel-devel -y

2. Attach the vmware tools sofware from vSphere client.

3. Mount the vmware tools package into /mnt :

# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt

mount: /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

4. Copy vmware tool packagae into /tmp :

# cd /mnt

# ls

manifest.txt     VMwareTools-9.4.0-1280544.tar.gz  vmware-tools-upgrader-64

run_upgrader.sh  vmware-tools-upgrader-32

# cp -p VMwareTools-9.4.0-1280544.tar.gz /tmp

5. Go to /tmp directory and extract the vmware tools package :

# cd /tmp

# tar xzvf VMwareTools-9.4.0-1280544.tar.gz

6. Go to extracted folder, vmware-tools-distrib :

# cd vmware-tools-distrib

# ls

bin  doc  etc  FILES  INSTALL  installer  lib  vmware-install.pl

7. Run vmware-install.pl to start installation :

# ./vmware-install.pl

Example:

# ./vmware-install.pl

[yes]

In which directory do you want to install the documentation files?

[/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools]

The path "/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This program

The installation of VMware Tools 9.4.0 build-1280544 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]

Initializing...

Making sure services for VMware Tools are stopped.

Stopping vmware-tools (via systemctl):                     [  OK  ]

The module vmci has already been installed on this system by another installer

or package and will not be modified by this installer.

The module vsock has already been installed on this system by another installer

or package and will not be modified by this installer.

The module vmxnet3 has already been installed on this system by another

installer or package and will not be modified by this installer.

The module pvscsi has already been installed on this system by another

installer or package and will not be modified by this installer.

The module vmmemctl has already been installed on this system by another

installer or package and will not be modified by this installer.

The VMware Host-Guest Filesystem allows for shared folders between the host OS

and the guest OS in a Fusion or Workstation virtual environment.  Do you wish

to enable this feature? [no]

The vmxnet driver is no longer supported on kernels 3.3 and greater. Please

upgrade to a newer virtual NIC. (e.g., vmxnet3 or e1000e)

The vmblock enables dragging or copying files between host and guest in a

Fusion or Workstation virtual environment.  Do you wish to enable this feature?

[no]

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.

Creating a new initrd boot image for the kernel.

Starting vmware-tools (via systemctl):                     [  OK  ]

The configuration of VMware Tools 9.4.0 build-1280544 for Linux for this

running kernel completed successfully.

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take

effect.

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd" from the

command line.

To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and

file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:

1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user

2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,

3. Restart your X session.

Enjoy,
