| + | |
| + | 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 |
