This page is about to install ESXi on bare metal and later install SME9.1 as one vm.
Install SME9.1 as a Centos6.
Later you must install vmware-tools following this:
rpm --import https://packages.vmware.com/tools/keys/VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-RSA-KEY.pub
db yum_repositories set vmware-tools repository \
Name 'VMWare Tools' \
BaseURL 'https://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/6.0u2/rhel6/$basearch' \
EnableGroups no \
GPGCheck yes \
GPGKey https://packages.vmware.com/tools/keys/VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-DSA-KEY.pub \
Visible no \
status disabled
At this point signal-event yum-update dont work, think signal-event yum-modify can be more good but I do signal-event post-upgrade & reboot. So
signal-event post-upgrade ; signal-event reboot
yum --enablerepo=vmware-tools install vmware-tools-esx-kmods vmware-tools-esx-nox
At this point, vmware-tools will autostart
Verify the service is online after the reboot:
/etc/vmware-tools/init/vmware-tools-services status
Should show something like
#vmtoolsd is running
