<div>Thanks Dirk. Good advice.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>As it turns out - I installed the open-vm-tools just last night. I found it doing another VM installation with a full-up version of CENTOS - and it integrated with the ESXi perfectly. So now my BX virtual machine has the tools, and is working perfectly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>Now, I just need to find some time to start working on buying and installing software on the new server - so I can start transferring domains from the old to the new.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>Thanks again. I've never been at a loss for help in this group!</div>

<b>Betreff:</b> [BlueOnyx:24091] VMware Tools on BlueOnyx<o:p />
<br />>
<o:p> </o:p>
<br />>
<br />> Hi BX experts,<o:p />
<br />>
<br />>
<o:p> </o:p>
<br />>
<br />> I finally got my hands on some new hardware,
with a good deal on a hi-end server. I've loaded it with VMware ESXi and
have my BlueOnyx server up and running on that. But I'm having some
problems getting the VMware Tools to load onto BX.<o:p />
<br />>
<br />>
<o:p> </o:p>
<br />>
<br />> So before I put in a lot of time & effort
- I'm wondering if its worth it? Has anyone successfully loaded the VMware
Tools onto BlueOnyx? And was there any significant benefits from the
tools?<o:p />
<br />>
<br />> <o:p> </o:p>
<br />>
<br />> <o:p>
</o:p>
<br />>
<br />> I've got to wrap up the final networking configurations,
BlueOnyx set up, and buy some software for the server - so I can start migrating
websites off my old box to this one. So lots of work still to do - and I
don't know if spending time on the VMware Tools is worth the
effort.<o:p />

<br />> Thanks guys.<o:p />
