No migrated network IP / Removal VMware Tools
Hello guys! good night!
I'm trying to convert about 100 VMWARE VMs to my Hyper-V 2012 R2 environment. I'm using the new MVMC 2.0.
After converting the VM, I realize that the network IP address was absent. The NIC was using the DHCP config. (The source VMWARE VM was configured with Static IP).
Other point is that the VMWARE tools wasn't removed.
In addition, during the migration process, the source VMWARE VM was power on and the MVMC did the snapshot and turned it off.
None of this itens has occured after the VM migration complete process. Even the VLAN ID in the VM settings on the Hyper-V was blank. No error message was returned. The whole migration process has completed successfully (green check mark).
On the link http://blogs.technet.com/b/privatecloud/archive/2014/04/08/migration-automation-toolkit-for-mvmc-2-0.aspx
states that with this tool is possible to:
MVMC removes VMware tools;
MVMC migrates network IPs;
But none of this itens has occured after the VM migration complete process. Even the VLAN ID in the VM settings on the Hyper-V was blank.
Besides this issues, the whole migration process has completed successfully (green check mark).
I would like to confirm that steps should I take to do a troubleshooting (for example, where can I find the verbose logs, etc).
Best regards,
Leandro

I have the same problem on ESXI 5.5 for over a month now, tried the patches, tried the LTS kernel which others say results in an immediate result without patches, nothing seems to work and nobody seems to be able to offer a solution.
Did you make any progress ??

Networking on Ubuntu VM stopped functioning after latest VMWare tools upgrade
when configuring the latest VMWare tools, I receive the following error:
"The vmxnet driver is no longer supported on kernels 3.3 and greater. Please upgrade to a newer virtual NIC. (e.g., vmxnet3 or e1000e)"
I have followed instructions on a few different posts to try to fix this, and none have worked.
I have tried running the vmware tools configuration script with --clobber-kernel-modules=vmxnet - that didn't help.
I tried changing ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet" to "vmxnet3" in the .vmx file - that didn't help either.
Running Ubuntu 14.04 on VMWare Player 6.0.6 build-2700073 on Windows 7. The VM image in question is Ubuntu 14.04 on Linux kernel 1.13.0-43.
This is for bridged mode (which I need) - running in NAT mode works fine.

2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.

Any idea what I should be doing?I have the same problem on ESXI 5.5 for over a month now, tried the patches, tried the LTS kernel which others say results in an immediate result without patches, nothing seems to work and nobody seems to be able to offer a solution.
Did you make any progress ??

The filesystem driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder
feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of this feature.
If you wish to have the shared folders feature, you can install the driver by
running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make
and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine.
These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd" from the

To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and

1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.

I tried to use these instructions to solve the problem:
http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1281
compiling - VMWare player and Ubuntu 15.04: net driver does not compile anymore, how to fix? - Ask Ubuntu
However, I don't have the /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source with vmnet.tar file.
I just have /usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source with the following files:
legacy vmblock.tar vmhgfs.tar vmsync.tar vmxnet.tar pvscsi.tar vmci.tar vmmemctl.tar vmxnet3.tar vsock.tar
How I resolve this problem?
Thank You!Now It's working for me! :-) Thanks kikitora for the correct answer and Rahul Jha for this tutorial:
Please ensure that latest Workstation 11 is installed.
Make sure open-vm-tools is not installed.
sudo apt-get remove open-vm-tools
1. Make sure the updates are done:
sudo apt-get update
2. Make sure git is installed
sudo apt-get install git
3. Run the command to get the tools from repository.
sudo git clone https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches.git
4. cd to vmware-tools-folder
cd vmware-tools-patches
5. Run the patch
sudo ./download-tools.sh
6. Run the following patch
sudo ./untar-and-patch.sh
7. Run the complie.sh file

VMWare Tools Fails to Install - Guest OS Windows 8.1 - vSphere 6.0
Hi,
I am having issues installing VMWare tools on a Windows 8.1 guest. I recently upgraded from ESXi 5.5 to 6 and used the automated upgrade. I logged on to one of my Windows 8.1 VMs and noticed that a glibc error was popping up related to VM Tools so I uninstalled and attempted a reinstall. VMWare tools now does not install.. I believe this is the relevant section of the logs before it rolls back:

Can anyone shed some light on this? I think it has something to do with cscript.exe, when I attempt to run it from a command prompt I get an error that the program or feature cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit version of windows. cscript located in syswow64 works, is there any way I can force it to use that?

Hello,
I created a fork of VMware Tools for Windows 3.x 16-bit operating systems. Currently these tools include:
time synchronization between ESXi host and VM
CPU idle support
FAT12 and FAT16 shrink support
experimental 100 mbit/s network card support
famous Intel 8086 turbo button emulation
emulation of 5.25“ floppy drives and their sound for a better user-experience
For the future 10 Gbit/s and InfiniBand support is planned.
Check-out the source code on GitHub: stdevel/vmtools-w16 · GitHub
Best regards!I know you must use 16-bit DLLs if LabVIEW is installed on Win 3.x. The LabVIEW CD for versions 4 and 5 contains NT/95/3.1 versions. Can't you just install the Win 95 version? If you're using an older version, maybe its time to upgrade.

saa_1973.You shouldn't need the kernel sources, just point vmware tools to the right location :

Replace with usr/src/linux-2.6.22-ck/include/

How To: Upgrade the VMware Tools in vCMA
I am by no means a linux expert but this method worked for me. I now have the latest version of VMware Tools from vSphere running in vCMA.
0. Snapshot the vCMA machine so you can undo if there are any problems!
1. Firstly download the latest linux.iso from your esx box to your desktop. Use WinSCP or other similar tool to download this from /vmimages/tools-isoimages
2. Extract the tar.gz file using an archive manager such as 7zip. The vSphere version is called VMwareTools-4.0.0-164009.tar.gz so this is what I will refer to from here on.
3. Upload VMwareTools-4.0.0-164009.tar.gz to the vCMA servers /tmp directory using WinSCP or downloading it from a webserver using wget http://server/VMwareTools-4.0.0-164009.tar.gz
4. On the vCMA server console install the The World-Wide Web library for Perl. yum install perl-libwww-perl
5. Extract the contents of the VMwareTools-4.0.0-164009.tar.gz file in the /tmp directory. tar zxf /tmp/VMwareTools-4.0.0-164009.tar.gz
6. Uninstall the previous version of VMware Tools using the uninstaller from the latest version. The uninstall script wasn't left from the initial install. /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl
7. Install the latest version accepting the defaults. /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl
8. Reboot the vCMA server. shutdown -r now
9. If everything works correctly remove the snapshot.
That should be all there is to it.
Good luck!You could also replace steps 1 - 3 with the following alternates:
1. Shutdown the VCMA guest and add a "client" CD ROM to the VCMA appliance and power-on;
2a. Create a directory for mount point, "mkdir /mnt/cdrom"
2b. Select "VM->Guest->Install/Upgrade VMware Tools" from the console menu;
2c. Mount the VMware Tools CD, "mount -t iso9660 /dev/hda /mnt/cdrom"
3. Copy the VMwareTools to the /tmp directory, "cp /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-4*.gz /tmp"
Then proceed from your steps. Next Tools update you will only need to do steps 2b, 2c, 3, 5 and 7-9.

[SOLVED/FOLLOW-UP] VMware Tools w/o desktop enviroment - any benefits?
Are there any known or perceived benefits in having VMware Tools installed in a CLI-only environment?
I recently installed Archlinux as guest OS (using VMware Workstation 6.5) and I was wondering about benefits of installing VMware Tools if I'll be running it in CLI-only mode. Some googling suggests that the network drivers installed as part of Tools improve network performance but that's everything I could dig up.
Cheers.
Last edited by msh (2009-01-17 22:58:51)From the Workstation 6.x manual pg's 113-115 :
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/ws6_manual.pdf
- Passes messages from the host operating system to the guest operating system.
- Executes commands in the operating system to cleanly shut down or restart a Linux, FreeBSD, or Solaris system when you
select power operations in Workstation.
- Sends a heartbeat to a VMware Server, if you use the virtual machine with VMware Server.
- Synchronizes the time in the guest operating system with the time in the host operating system.
- Runs scripts that help automate guest operating system operations. The scripts run when the virtual machine's power state
changes
A set of VMware device drivers. These drivers include:
- The vmxnet networking driver for some guest operating systems.
- BusLogic SCSI driver for some guest operating systems.
- VMware mouse driver.
- A kernel module for handling shared folders, called hgfs.sys on Windows and vmhgfs on Linux and Solaris.
VMware user process. The program file is called VMwareUser.exe on Windows guests and vmware-user on Linux and
Solaris guests.
This service performs the following tasks within the guest operating system:
- Enables you to copy and paste text between the guest and host operating systems, and copy and paste files between
the host operating systems and Windows, Linux, and Solaris guest operating systems.
- Enables you to drag and drop files between the host operating systems and Windows, Linux, and Solaris guest
operating systems.
- On Linux and Solaris guests, grabs and releases the mouse cursor when the SVGA driver is not installed. -
How to install vmware tools in cucm on Vmware Player
I'm running CUCM 8.0.1 and Unity Connection 8.0.1 on VMWare Player. I need to install the VMWare Tools. I'm using the COP file from the CCO (ciscocm.vmtoolsUpgrade4.1-8.3.2-257589-v14.cop.sgn). However, it's not loading. I Clicked Install VMWare Tools from Player so the CDRom is mounted and has the COP file in it, but I can't seem to get the path. The connection is use physical device /dev/cdrom and I have a burned COP file in the dvd drive. I keep getting "The directory could not be located."
I have NTP enabled and "the NTP Service is accessible"
I tried the Remote File System but keep getting the error: "An unknown error occurred while accessing the upgrade file." I tried different files, e.g. locale file, but get the same error. Is there something else I need to do on the VM? The Host machine is Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit.
Is there a document on this? VMWare Player is ver 6.0. The VMs were built in VMWare server 2.0 a while back.Thanks for the link. It is for vSphere and I'm using Player so Step 2 is a little different. I choose Virtual Machine>Upgrade VMWare Tools. The settings are set to "use ISO file" and the path is to the linux.iso file.
When I run the 'utils vmtools upgrade' command, it says: "Executed command unsuccessfully, no valid command entered"
Any other procedures to try? -

How do I remove the Tools Pane Permanently in Adobe Reader DC?
I have just installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC version 2015 Release and it has a very annoying
bug/feature that I don't like.
I have to keep removing the Tools Pane using using SHIFT+F4 every time.
Is there a way to make this pane dissapear permanently by making this setting stick?
This hasn't been a problem in previous versions of Adobe Reader.
Please tell me how to remove this annoying pane or issue an update to make this setting stick when opening PDFs.
Thanks in advance.Hey Huh,
to disable the right pane, you can follow the answer from tmmcentyre https://forums.adobe.com/message/7472578#7472578 or the answer from HHugo https://forums.adobe.com/message/7544218#7544218
The problem with both workarounds is, if you click on "Home" or "Tools" on the toolbar, you can't go back to "Document."
With tmmcentyres workaround you lose some more features too.
To fix this follow HHugos workaround, but keep the last line form the file too.
So edit the "Viewer.aapp" file located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroApp\ENU\".
Here remove line 2 till 8:
<Layouts>
<Layout name="Default">
<RHP>
<Component name="AppShortcutListView" type="Custom"/>
</RHP>
</Layout>
</Layouts>
So the content of the file is only:
<Application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/acrobat/app/2014" title="Viewer" id="Viewer" majorVersion="1" requiresDoc="true" minorVersion="0">
</Application>
Now the right pane should be closed if you open a .pdf file. You can switch between "Home", "Tools" and "Document" without issues and the remaining features should work as intended also. -
