Hi,
It's not realy a problem but a bit anoying.
The "Message from <myhost>: Install the VMware Tools package inside this virtual machine . After the guest operating system starts, select VM > Install VMware Tools… and follow the instructions."
Waht I did
1) On an ESXi 5.1 I installed 4 virtual machines each VM with the same settings (except for Memory and Virtual disk settings)
2) On all 4 machines I installed CentOS 6 with minimal installation.
3) On all 4 machines I called yum update
4) On all 4 machines I did:
rpm --import http://packages.vmware.com/tools/keys/VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-DSA-KEY.pub
rpm --import http://packages.vmware.com/tools/keys/VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-RSA-KEY.pub
cat <<EOT > /etc/yum.repos.d/vmw
are-tools.repo
[vmware-tools]
name=VMware Tools
baseurl=http://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/5.1latest/rhel6/\$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
EOT
yum install vmware-tools-esx-nox
I also tried to install the vmware tools that comes with esxi 5.1 directly but with that tools all 4 machines are getting the same Message.
Is this something I did wrong or is this because of some CentOS6 specifica?
