Installing vmware-tools-esx-nox, what else?

Hi all,

I have several dozens of VMs running on ESXi 5.5 and ESX 5.0 (OVH hosting).

Most of them are CentOS6, but with the CentOSPlus repository active and its kernel installed.

I would like to install the vmware tools with yum, through The VMware repositories.

I installed "vmware-tools-esx-nox" on all the VMs, but the "kmod" package is strict on the kernel version.

The CentOSPlus repository kernel makes the "kmod" packages not instalable.

What do I loose if I only install the userland tools and not the kernel land ones?
