Quick question of how would one go about upgrading vmtools into Update Manager? I have updated Update Manager and vCenter is the latest patch version available.
When I go to Update Manager tab, I then select Import Patches and select the VMTools.zip file from My.VMWare.com, but when it is importing it states:
Failed to import data.
Cannot upload file, because it is an invalid package.
I thought uploading the zip to vCenter is the way to make sure vmtools stays the latest version. The environment being managed is a closed network so there is no way to have internet connectivity.
Thank you.
Hi,
You can read this one for change your VMware Tools. http://www.purplescreen.eu/?p=774
Thanks,
Would help if that was in English. Selecting the link though for KB2129825 might do the trick. Will have to be done during off hours as a reboot is required for all hosts. Will inform if the solution works.
