Solaris 10 x86 Tools Install Failure

[EugenRodekuhr]

Hello All,

We have an issue with an incompatibility of the network drivers and solaris 10 as the OS of our VMs. We have opened a case alreADY:

We need to use a different version of the tools to solve it.

The version which created the trouble is - Build 8068406 10.2.5 from 29/03/2018.

The version which can be instleed is - Build 6082533 from 27/07/2017 10.1.10.

The two newer versions are

- Build 9925305 from 12/09/2018 10.3.2 and

- Build 10430147 from 01/11/2018 10.3.5

These two Builds creating this error:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 223628 Sep 4 12:05 vmware-install.pl

[root@ivsv706 vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl

Unable to change the access rights of the file GLOB(0x8214504).

I need some advice on how to proceed, to use the much older tools seems not to be the right way.

Regards

Eugen

This could be the solution for the issue:

Außerdem habe ich dies gefunden:

„I'm not sure if you ever got a response but this is how to fix it in version 10.3.5 of VMware tools. Edit vmware-install.pl and go to line 7132. Change this:

    safe_chmod(0600, $fh);

To this:

    safe_chmod(0600, $logfile);

The chmod function isn't expecting (and doesn't understand) a filehandle.
