1 VMWare Tools Installation in IPBrick 5.3 iportalmais September 4, 2012

2 1 Procedure IMPORTANT NOTE: This procedure is ONLY for IPBrick 5.3! 0 - Copy the linux-headers file to the IPBrick. You may download it at our eshop: id=455&language=en 1 - Backup the initrd cd /boot cp -a initrd.img smp-64gb initrd.img smp-64gb.pre-insta 2 - Install the linux-headers It can be installed via web interface or as a normal update. cd ~operator (admiting that the file is in ~operator) dpkg -i linux-headers smp-64gb_ smp-64gb custom_i3 3 - Activate the VMware installation via VSphere "Guest -> Install/Upgrade VMware tools" (this will create a virtual cd with vmwaremount /dev/cdrom1 /cdrom (note: it can be cdrom1,2,3...) cp /cdrom/vmwaretools tar.gz /root 4 - Prepare and decompress the content for installation cd /root tar xvzf VMwareTools tar.gz 5 - Execute the installation script cd vmware-tools-distrib/./vmware-install.pl NOTE: During installation the only thing required is the location of the kernel header : /usr/src/linux-headers smp-64gb/include Searching for a valid kernel header path... The path "" is not a valid path to the smp-64gb kernel headers. Would you like to change it? [yes] Enter the path to the kernel header files for the smp-64gb kernel? /usr/src/linux-headers smp-64gb/include

3 2 Complete VMwareTools Log net:~/vmware-tools-distrib#./vmware-install.pl Creating a new VMware Tools installer database using the tar4 format. Installing VMware Tools. In which directory do you want to install the binary files? [/usr/bin] What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)? [/etc] What is the directory that contains the init scripts? [/etc/init.d] In which directory do you want to install the daemon files? [/usr/sbin] In which directory do you want to install the library files? [/usr/lib/vmware-tools] The path "/usr/lib/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This program is going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want? [yes] In which directory do you want to install the documentation files? [/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools] The path "/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This program is going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want? [yes] The installation of VMware Tools build for Linux completed successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl". Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes] Initializing... Making sure services for VMware Tools are stopped.

Please refer to the VMware Knowledge Base for more details on this capability. Do you wish to enable this feature? [no] Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed... make gcc kernel headers of the running kernel Searching for GCC... Detected GCC binary at "/usr/bin/gcc".

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take effect. You can now run VMware Tools by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd" from the command line or by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" from the command line during an X server session. To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following: 1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user 2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and, 3. Restart your X session. To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
