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
