After update ESX host, I must upgrade vm's vm-tools. The process like this:
[root@VM vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl
A previous installation of VMware Tools has been detected.
The previous installation was made by the tar installer (version 4).
Keeping the tar4 installer database format.
You have a version of VMware Tools installed. Continuing this install will
first uninstall the currently installed version. Do you wish to continue?
(yes/no) [yes]
Error: Unable to execute "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl.
Uninstall failed. Please correct the failure and re run the install.
Execution aborted.
I had find a KB try to fix this problem, please check this KB
"Installing and Upgrading VMware tools on vCenter Mobile Appliance (2001191)"
when I run the step 7. ./vmware-uninstall-tools.pl
I find the problem :
[root@VM-CentOS-MRTG bin]# ./vmware-uninstall-tools.pl
Uninstalling the tar installation of VMware Tools.
Stopping services for vmware-tools

Unable to find the answer CAFVARDIR in the installer database
(/etc/vmware-tools/locations). You may want to re-install VMware Tools.
