Version
Description
Open VM Tools (open-vm-tools) is the open source implementation of VMware Tools for Linux guest operating systems. The open-vm-tools suite is bundled with some Linux operating systems and is installed as a part of the OS, eliminating the need to separately install the suite on guest operating systems. All leading Linux vendors support the open-vm-tools suite on vSphere, Workstation, and Fusion, and bundle open-vm-tools with their product releases. For information about OS compatibility check for the open-vm-tools suite, see the VMware Compatibility Guide at http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility.
