Step 5: Extract out the com.vmware.fusion.tools.darwin.zip to get the darwin.iso from under payload. Step 6: Mount the newly created MacOSXSetup.iso with the VMware Workstation VM. Step 7: Start the VM and launch the Mac OS X Setup from the ISO we created. 1) Select the Disk Utility so we can format the drive before installing the OS.

After publishing my recent article on automating the silent installation of VMware Tools for Linux guestOSes, I received a similar question regarding Mac OS X guests and whether the existing script would also apply. The answer is no since Mac OS X packages differ from the Linux installres, but it is possible to automate the installation of VMware Tools for Mac OS X guests.

Today we will Install Vmware Tools in OS X El Capitan that we had installed previously in a Virtual machine in Windows 10How to Install Mac OS in Windows usi. Download VMware vSphere. Run fewer servers and reduce capital and operating costs using VMware vSphere to build a cloud computing infrastructure. Nov 05, 2019 If you want to install VMware Tools on macOS, you also have to mount the ISO image (darwin.iso) to the VM and run the installer; don’t forget to unblock VMware Tools in security settings of the operating system if you use the latest versions of Mac OS X.

After quickly looking into this, I realized there are actually several options that are available to customers and it would depend on how you would like to install VMware Tools and what platform you are running your Mac OS X guests on. I will share a couple of options which also includes existing solutions that have already been developed. At the end of the day, the choice will ultimately be up to the administrator on how he/she would like to proceed.

Option 1 - If you are a vSphere/ESXi customer running Mac OS X, you will probably want to mount the VMware Tools installer and then initiate an installation within the Guest. You can actually perform the entire operation within a single context by leveraging our vSphere API to issue the VMware Tools installer and then using the Guest Operations API to perform the installation.

Option 2 - Similar to the above option, if you do not wish to use the vSphere API, you can simply copy the darwin.iso (VMware Tools) image onto your Mac OS X guests and then perform the automated install. This would be the most simplistic option and would apply to running Mac OS X guests on either vSphere/ESXi or Fusion.

Option 3 - You can also download VMware Tools using VMware's online repository (thanks to Rich Trouton for sharing this tidbit) and then performing the installation which is very similar to Option 2. The only downside is if you are running Mac OS X on vSphere/ESXi, the status of VMware Tools will show 'unsupported' as the version will differ from version distributed with vSphere/ESXi. In fact, Rich Trouton has an existing solution that he has published here which you can read more about.

If you are already familiar with using the vSphere API and are using vSphere/ESXi, I personally would go with Option 1 just because you can stay within a single context from an automation standpoint and not have to jump between different interfaces. If you not comfortable, want a quick solution or running just Fusion, then Option 2 and 3 would be ideal. Below is an example Gist demonstrating a simple shell script which implements Option 2 and Option 3 with a slight twist from what Rich has done which does not require Git.

Here's an example of running the script using Option 2:


I am sure there are probably other methods out there, but the great news is that it is indeed possible to automate VMware Tools for Mac OS X guests 🙂

About This File

Tools

Ive created an El Capitan VM initially without icloud or keychain. I ran the vmware tools package from the darwin iso but got a message about unable to source sound or something. I had my bigger screen. Next, after a reboot, I was able to run app store and successfully download a fre.

This is the current version of VMware Tools for OS X / macOS from the VMware CDS repository for Fusion 11.0.3

Please note: In the latest VMwareGfx.kext from Fusion 8.5.5 onwards VMware have discontinued the 2D-Acceleration code, and graphics performance is better now, thanks to Zenith432 for the update. Technosat ts 500 update.

To check for the latest version visit http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/. The various VMware Tools downloads are located under the packages folder for each version.

Before You Begin

VMware Tools ISO images are frozen for some end of life guest operating systems. Some ISO images are not included with ESXi in the tools-light VIB. For more details, see the VMware Tools Documentation page. All VMware Tools ISO images are available for download from http://my.vmware.com.

VMware Tools for Windows: 32-bit and 64-bit installer executable (.exe) files are available for download. These files are provided for easier access and installation of VMware Tools in Windows guest operating systems.

When a newer version of vmtoolspkg VIB is installed, VMware Tools status might not change. This limitation is observed in vSphere 5.5.x and update releases. To work around, power off and power on the VM or reboot the host.

Important note about upgrading to ESXi 5.5 Update 3b or later

Resolved Issues

  • VMware Tools 10.2.0 does not recognize UFS filesystem partitions

    VMware Tools 10.2.0 has dropped UFS from the list of known file system type. As a result, the default filesystem of Solaris and FreeBSD is not recognized. VMware Tools Services in the GuestInfo for the virtual machine do not report these filesystems. You might not be able to monitor the disk usage of UFS filesystems with vRealize Operations or vCenter Managed Object Browser.

    This issue is resolved in this release.

  • Ports are exhausted on a guest VM after using VMware Tools 10.2.0

    Guest VM ports are exhausted after using VMware Tools 10.2.0. This results in network connection failure.

    This issue is resolved in this release.

  • VMware Tools 10.2.0 WDDM driver is not compatible with View 6.x or earlier.

    Connecting to a virtual machine with View Client might disconnect and fail with a black screen. This issue is observed after installing VMware Tools 10.2.0 WDDM driver on View 6.x and earlier.

    This issue is resolved in this release.

  • Information about non-existing device mounted to a file system was not reported

    Few Linux guest operating systems might have a non-existing device mounted to a filesystem. For example, dev/root/. VMware Tools does not report this information.

    This issue is resolved in this release.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 guest VM ports are exhausted after upgrading to VMware Tools 10.2.0.

    VMware Common Agent Framework (CAF) ManagementAgentHost service process blocks guest networking after running for some time. Attempt to connect remotely fails due to exhausted guest VM ports.

    This issue is resolved in this release.

  • vnetflt.sys causes active directory problems resulting in an authentication failure.

    Attempts to log in fail due to problems in the active directory. Network Introspection driver vnetflt.sys, which uses deprecated TDI framework causes this failure. The driver is installed during the installation of VMware Tools.

    vnetflt.sys driver is replaced with the new WFP-based vnetWFP driver for Windows 7 and later.

    This issue is resolved in this release.

  • VMware Tools will not auto upgrade on power cycle of VM.
    If the guest VMware Tools version is older than the host version of VMware Tools, vmware.log file displays a message similar to the following:

    2016-12-19T12:48:41.353Z vmx I120: ToolsUpdateManifestInfoWorkerThreadDone: Compared tools manifest from host and from the guest. Status = 3.
    Status 3 indicates that the guest VMware Tools is the current version. Guest VMware Tools manifest.txt is corrupted.

    • This issue is resolved in this release.

Darwin Vmware Tools

Known Issues

  • Shared folder shows empty on Ubuntu17.04 with open-vm-tools.
    On rebooting Ubuntu 17.04 with open-vm-tools installed, the shared folders /mnt directory is empty. This issue is observed even after installing Ubuntu 17.04 using easy install, enabling shared folders in VM settings and selecting Always Enabled.

    Workaround:

    1. Disable Shared Folders in the interface
    2. Enable Shared Folders after the VM is powered on with VMware Tools running.
