How to obtain vmware tools for Netware?

I'm in the process of virtualising a number of Netware 5.1 servers - I assumed that the vmware tools (netware.iso, apparently) would be on the ESX install media but I can't find this file anywhere, not can I locate a downloadable instance on this web site (or anywhere else).

Is anyone able to point me in the right download direction for the Netware tools?

Many thanks for all assistance offered Smiley Happy

In ESX 3.5 U4 the VMware tools are in VMware-esx-tools-3.5.0-103908 rpm package.

An ISO are in /vmimages/tools-isoimages/

Do you have this directory?

Hmmm, don't have a folder structure that looks like that on any of the install images I have (all downloaded from this site). I've searched all the images and can't find that file. Is it downloadable seperately anywhere?

DP alert: I found the file buried deep inside a ZIP file via this question: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/205465

Not 100% sure whether it's the correct version.

My apologies for misunderstanding you in the first instance. I was looking on the install media, not in the ESX filesystem itself.

Got it now. Thank you very much for your patient assistance.

Sorry, I've not understood Smiley Wink

I do not know if there is a single iso file.

But you can extract from the RPM.
