Hello all, Do any of you know a way to get vmware tools installed when you do not run a graphical interface (ie runlevel of the box is 3) ? I cant seem to get it going. Should I download the tools and copy them into the vm ?
No, when your virtual machine is running, take the vmware console and choose in the menu VM/Install VMWare tools . It will swap your cd with a iso images containing the vmware-tools rpms. If you're running in init3 (which is normal for a server) just mount your cd from within a bash session and install the corresponding rpm. If you're running a known kernel from vmware, you'll just have to install the rpm and configure with vmware-tools-config.pl (if i remember well ...)
Any help much appreciated as I'm not cutting over to use production VMs until I can fix this.
Cheers,
Bards.
