[BlueOnyx:24099] Re: VMware Tools on BlueOnyx

Hello,

 

you can do am 

yum install open-vm-tools

It do the same and is included in the automated updates.

 

Yes vmware tools are very useful to have more control from esxi/vcenter like
shutdown (not only power down)/reboot and so on.

 

Best regards,

Dirk

Betreff: [BlueOnyx:24091] VMware Tools on BlueOnyx

 

Hi BX experts,

 

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.

 

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?

 

 

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.

 

 

Thanks guys.

 

 

Chuck
