VMware Tools install on Nagios xi OVF

Post by mlattanzio »

I was looking at our new Nagios xi server that i just installed from the OVF and noticed that there is no vmware tools installed. How do you install vmware tools on the Nagios xi server vm that is running in my vmware esxi environment?

Since you're running our OVF, you can just do this:

Code: Select all

yum install open-vm-tools -y
Then reboot.

Officially, you can follow this guide but it will likely tell you to use the above command instead:
