VMware Tools ESXI server v.6 Easy installing steps,
There is no official deb installer available,
ESXI Server v. 6 VMware Tools on Debian Linux.
Instead you need to install it manually.
Here is some idea how could you do it and it works.... :)
- In vSphere Client, use the command Guest – Install/Upgrade VMware Tools (it “inserts” the VMware Tools ISO in the CD drive of the guest)
- Open console/SSH to the guest as root (or use sudo as needed)
- mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
- tar xzf /mnt/VMwareTools*
- umount /mnt
- apt-get update
- apt-get install gcc make linux-headers-$(uname -r)
- cd vmware-tools-distrib
- ./vmware-install.pl4096
- cd
- rm -rf vmware-tools-distrib
- reboot
