README for open-vm-tools

INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
This port contains VMware Tools. You should install it if you are running CRUX
|
|
as a virtual machine under the VMware hypervisor.
|
|
This has only been tested on single core 32-bit virtual machines.
|
|
The VMware filesystem (vmhgfs) has not been tested.
|
|
Feedback is appreciated.

|
POST-INSTALL
|
|
|
|
1. Run the post-install script.
|
|
2. Add vmtools to the list of services to start at boot time.

FAQ
|
|
|
|
Q: What is the difference between this and the official commercial VMware Tools
|
|
distribution?
|
|
|
|
A: This code comes from the GPL release of VMware's tools, so in theory
|
|
it should work just as the commercial version.
|
|
That said, since this port is intended to be used on a server environment,
|
|
all the desktop utilities have been removed (eg: no GUI applications).
|
|
|
|
Q: Where is the driver for the VMware network adapter and disk controller?
|
|
|
|
A: Some device drivers are already included in the Linux kernel and disabled
|
|
in this port.
|
|
Please enable these kernel options:
|
|
* CONFIG_VMWARE_BALLOON
|
|
* CONFIG_VMWARE_PVSCSI
|
|
* CONFIG_VMXNET3
|
|
If your boot filesystem is connected to a paravirtual SCSI interface make
|
|
sure CONFIG_VMWARE_PVSCSI is set as builtin instead of module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Q: Why do I have to shutdown/reboot twice my VM from VMware before it reacts?
|
|
|
|
A: Did you run the post-install script?
