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:
 +
[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.
 +
 +
We now have a contrib to manage this
