Procedure

IMPORTANT NOTE: This procedure is only for IPBrick version 5.5 or later versions!

1 - Activate the VMWare installation via VSphere

"Guest -> Install/Upgrade VMware tools"
(this will create a virtual cd with vmware-tools)
mount /dev/cdrom1 /cdrom (note: it can be cdrom1,2,3...)
cp /cdrom/VMwareTools-8.3.7-341836.tar.gz /root

2 - Prepare and decompress the content for installation.

NOTE: As an example we use the VMwareTools-8.3.7 version, but this procedure applies to other versions as well.

cd /root 
tar xvzf VMwareTools-8.3.7-341836.tar.gz

3 - Execute the installation script

cd vmware-tools-distrib/
./vmware-install.pl
