[ihsanbeydogan40]

Dear All,

I upgraded  my vcsa server from 6U2 to 6U3b.VCSA is virtual machine on ESXI.I have a problem about upgrade  vmtools.I don't succed it.VMtools status is Running(out-of-date).

vmtools version is  10.1.0.57774 (build-4449150) now .I want to upgrade  10.1.10 version.

VCSA release is below

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)

VERSION = 11

PATCHLEVEL = 3

When I want to upgrade by console I am  getting error below.

When I try upgrade interactive tools but I can't see .iso file.

I tried this resolve for vix error code = 21009 but not solved.

In ESXI/ESX using the Web and vSphere Client

1. Login to vCenter Server/Virtual Center using vSphere Client/Web Client.
2. Right-click on virtual machine and click to shutdown or Power off the virtual machine.
3. Right-click on virtual machine and click edit settings.
4. Click the Options tab and select General under Advanced.
5. Click Configuration Parameters and a new window opens.
6. Click Add Row and type isolation.tools.guestInitiatedUpgrade.disable and FALSE under Value
7. Click OK twice to close all the windows.

  Finally I tried to  reinstall vmtools.

I used the following commands

zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:VMware/SLE_11_SP3/Virtualization:VMware.repo

zypper refresh

zypper install open-vm-tools

It need "libdnet.so.1()(64bit)" for vmtools 10.1.10 I  tried install rpm packet  but this rpm packet need different rpm packet.RPM packets request    is as a chain.This problem is still continue.

Have a any ideas about this problem solution?
