Up until lass week we were using ESX 3.0 and to install VMtools on a Netware VM all we did was follow the instructions below. Now that we've updated to ESX 3.5, step 4 doesn't work any more. Is there a missing step?
1. Power on the virtual machine.
2. Select VM > Install VMware Tools.
The remaining steps take place inside the virtual machine.
3. Load the CD-ROM driver so the CD-ROM device mounts the ISO image as a volume. Do one of the following.
In the system console for a NetWare 6.5 virtual machine, type
LOAD CDDVD
In the system console for a NetWare 6.0 or NetWare 5.1 virtual machine, type
LOAD CD9660.NSS
4. When the driver finishes loading, you can begin installing VMware Tools. In the system console, type
vmwtools:\setup.ncf
When the installation finishes, the message VMware Tools for NetWare are now running appears in the Logger Screen (NetWare 6.5 and NetWare 6.0 guests) or the Console Screen (NetWare 5.1 guests).
5. Restart the guest operating system. In the system console, type
restart server
