Greetings,
I've read a lot about issues to do with DNS records when upgrading Windows guests to hardware 7 but what about Linux?
I'd like to know if anyone has come across issue with hardware 7 and Red Hat EL 5.x
Can you use Update Manager to upgrade RHEL VMWare Tools and hardware.
Thanks in advance
Tony
We have updated the VM hardware and vmware tools on many RHEL 5 x64 and CentOS 5.x x86 & x64 VMs recently. Everything was ok. A sequence was the following:
1. Update vmware tools by script & tar.gz
2. Power off vm
3. Upgrade vm hardware
4. Power on

I had to upgrade VMware Tools manually, but everything went fine, even without reboot.
Of course VM hardware upgrade requires reboot.
