[OmniOS-discuss] VMware tools for Omni

[Jeff Berkembrock]

Hello,

Has anyone had any success installing VMware tools on Omni r151020?

I'm trying to do so from a ESXi 6.5 host and an Omni r151020 guest that
runs within. This omni instance was loaded from the omniti ISO install media
<http://omnios.omniti.com/media/OmniOS_Text_r151020.iso>

root at omnitool:/root# uname -a
SunOS omnitool 5.11 omnios-r151020-b5b8c75 i86pc i386 i86pc

This link <https://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/VMwareNotes> refers to a VMware
KB
<https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1023956>
article that explains how to perform the install. Unfortunately when I get
to step 4 (mounting the virtual DVD install media) I see the error below.

I'm seeing the same error with a Solaris 11.3 host.

It seems like VMware removed their installers for Solaris & related OS.


Call "VirtualMachine.MountToolsInstaller" for object "omni" on ESXi
"10.1.10.11" failed.
vix error code = 21001
Unable to install VMware Tools. An error occurred while trying to access
image file "/usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/solaris.iso" needed to install VMware
Tools: 2 (No such file or directory). Please refer the product
documentation or KB article 2129825 for details about how to get VMware
Tools package for this guest operating system.
