  • 1.  Upload vmtools images iso to shared storage

    Posted Aug 26, 2023 10:32 AM

    Hi Expert,

    I just installed ESXi with no-tools image by autodeploy, and realize that there is no VMware tools provided by ESXi.

    is it possible if I just uploading the image tools into default vmtools folder (/productLocker) ??? is there any impact to esxi services/other?

    will it recognize by the Guest VM if i want to install vm tools automatically?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Have you deployed a vSphere server in the environment yet?  Once its up you can us LCM.
