我创建了一个小“如何做”的一些系统工程师在他们的测试环境中安装/升级VMware工具。下面是翻译（公共）版本：
- VM Summary: VMware Tools – Running (unsupported)
选择虚拟机>客户机>安装VMware工具。基础架构客户端里面的虚拟机中安装VMware Tools的ISO
- Create a directory, type in: mkdir /mnt/cdrom next you need to mount the CD-Rom drive, type in:
mount /dec/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
- The VMware Tools ISO is mounted and must be extracted, type:
cp/mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools [BUILD NUMBER ^] /tmp/
- Navigate to the tmp folder: cd /tmp/
- Type:
cd vmware-tools-distrib/
- To install the VMware Tools module type:
./vmware-install.pl
- The installation detected an older version of VMware Tools, to uninstall this version, type: yes
- The installation will start, during the installation you need to answer some questions. If you press [enter] the installation will continue with default settings.
- Type: yes
- VMware Host-Guest Filesystem is most of the time disabled or not isntalled, also in this installation choose: No
Type in: No
- The installation is finished , the VMware Tools ISO will be ejected automatically
- In the vSphere inventory the VMware Tools is Running and correct installed
