Vmware tools on Linux without X
Hi,
I want to pass attributes to my Linux VM from the vmx file. I read a way this could be achieved is using vmware tools. I have an entry in my vmx file guestinfo.hypervisor.role = "abc"
I was trying to read this from the VM using the vmtoolsd info-get command.
However I keep getting no value found.
I then checked the VM summary on ESXi and saw that esxi reports that vmtools is not running.
My VM does not run X.
Is there a way to pass attributes to a VM given my configuration?
I am running RHEL 6.2 & ESXi 5.0
Thanks
