Install VMware tools on Proxmox 2.2

[mabu]

Hi,

is the Install VMware Tols How-To also valid for Proxmox2.2 which are running on ESX Server 3i V3.5.0?

Thanks
Manfred

Any feedback about installing VMware tools?

My question would be about installing VmWare tools on Proxmox 2.2 running on VmWare Server 2.0. The how-to in this case is not valid, because the kernel is different in the latest version of Proxmox and self compiling the tools would mean a complete installation of gcc, libraries and others.

Someone can help me?

You need to take a look on your Proxmox Kernel.

uname -r

The certified appliances uses the 2.6.22. The ISO 2.2 includes the 2.6.24. Some users reported that 2.6.18 works better on some VMware hosts (means you can run Proxmox 2.2 also with Kernel 2.6.18).

Depending on your Kernel, you can install the corresponding vmware tools.

For 2.6.24:

wget http://www.proxmox.com/cms_proxmox/cms/upload/misc/proxmox-vmware-tools_2.6.24-1_all.deb

and:

dpkg -i proxmox-vmware-tools_2.6.24-1_all.deb
