====SME Server 10 as Guest====
Installation of vmware tools on SME 10 is a bit different. For example, no special repository is now needed. But we do have configure some files. Start by downloading the open-vm-tools package:
yum install open-vm-tools
Set a config key for SME to recognise the service:
config set vmtoolsd service status enabled access private
We will need to create a directory and then a file in it:
mkdir -p /usr/lib/systemd/system/vmtoolsd.service.d
nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/vmtoolsd.service.d/50koozali.conf
Contents of 50koozali.conf should be:
[Unit]
After=network.target network.service wan.service
[Install]
WantedBy=sme-server.target
Reconfigure and reboot:
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
That should do it! Check that the service is running alright:
systemctl status vmtoolsd
Also check that the hypervisor (ESXi/VMWare workstation or other) detects the vmware tools as running.
