vmkfstools gone ???

Hi,

i´m currently running 3.5 latest version and want to use vmkfstools to import an Astaro Firewall.

By typing vmkfstools it says: # vmkfstools

bash: vmkfstools: command not found

Where is that great tool gone ?

Regards

Alex

Alex -

When you "su' run it as "su -". The "-" will put /usr/sbin in your $PATH.

In unix when you su - it sets the correct environment (basically runs .bash_profile), if you just su is used it just switches the user and keep the original user's environment/variables in place.
