Environments that are running the less-common guests, such as FreeBSD, MacOS, or Solaris must download the Tools installers from My VMware and make them accessible to VMs for installation.įor most vSphere environments, the default VMware Tools configuration is adequate and offers a frictionless workflow for consuming new releases. Since the release of VMware Tools 10.1 the following year, only a subset of guest operating systems are covered by the installers packaged with VMware ESXi. This offers the benefit of getting the latest releases without waiting for ESXi patch releases. Customers can log into their My VMware account and download the latest release of VMware Tools, separate from VMware ESXi. In 2015, VMware Tools 10 marked the introduction of an asynchronous release model. This article describes an alternative approach that is suitable for environments requiring enhanced control or optimization over VMware Tools delivery.
Occasionally, updated VMware Tools packages are delivered through ESXi patches and updates by way of a VIB called tools-light, which can be deployed through typical vSphere Update Manager workflows. By default, VMware ESXi includes a subset of Tools installers for supported Windows and Linux guest operating systems.
