    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am newbie about vSphere.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;One of my clients has a problem with VMware Tools.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After some works (it seems kernel update), VMware Tools doesn't start automatically.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;All of VM which use Windows OS are okay.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But All of VM which use Red hat Linux OS have same problem. (Redhat Linux 6.X and 7.X)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have already found KB and tried to solve the problem by using KB&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;( &lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;amp;externalId=2050592" title="https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;amp;externalId=2050592"&gt;VMware Tools fail to start after a Linux guest operating system kernel upgrade (2050592) | VMware KB&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp; )&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;( &lt;A href="https://access.redhat.com/solutions/69122" title="https://access.redhat.com/solutions/69122"&gt;VMware Tools does not start after updating the kernel - Red Hat Customer Portal&lt;/A&gt; )&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But I couldn't find 'vmware-config-tools.pl'&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. What Should I do in this case ?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. Why is 'VMware tools install menu' grayed out ?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3. Although I didn't install VMware Tools, Are VMware tools installed automatically in Linux OS?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="where.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/75627i441EAC68F69A83F2/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="where.png" alt="where.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="gray.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/75629i4C482DC45D917851/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="gray.png" alt="gray.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
