Resolution
To install VMware Tools in a Solaris guest operating system:
- In the vSphere Client, ensure that your Solaris virtual machine is powered on.
- If you are running a GUI interface on the Solaris virtual machine, open a command shell.
Note: Log in as a root user, or use the sudo command to complete each of these steps.
- In the vSphere Client, click VM in the virtual machine menu.
- Click Guest > Install/Upgrade VMware Tools and click OK.
- In the Solaris virtual machine, copy the vmware-solaris-tools.tar.gz file from /cdrom/vmwaretools to a temporary directory (/tmp/).
Notes:- The /cdrom folder may need to be created before proceeding.
- If the CD-ROM device is not mounted, run these commands and then attempt to copy the file:
cd /var/svc/profile
sudo svcadm enable -r volfs
- Decompress the file using the gunzip command. For example:
# gunzip vmware-solaris-tools.tar.gz
- Extract the contents of the tar file using this command:
# tar xvf vmware-solaris-tools.tar
- Change directory using this command:
# cd vmware-tools-distrib
- To install the VMware Tools, run this command from the directory that you changed in step 7:
# ./vmware-install.pl
- Press Enter to accept all of the default values.
- Reboot the virtual machine for the changes to take effect.
- Check if VMware tools service is running using this command:
# /etc/init.d/vmware-tools status
You see output similar to:
vmtoolsd is running
- Add vmware-toolbox to the list of startup commands of your desktop.
If you are using Java Desktop System, Release 3:
- Go to Launch > Preferences > Desktop Preferences > Sessions.
- Click Startup Programs tab and add these entries:
/usr/bin/vmware-user
/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox
