Instalar VMware Tools en Solaris

1 On the host, select VM > Install VMware Tools.


2 On the guest, log in as root.

3 If necessary, mount the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image.

Usually, the Solaris volume manager vold mounts the CD-ROM under /cdrom/vmwaretools. If the CD-ROM is not mounted, restart the volume manager using the following commands:
  /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
  /etc/init.d/volmgt start

4 Change to a working directory (for example, /tmp):
   cd /tmp

5 Extract VMware Tools:
    gunzip -c /cdrom/vmwaretools/vmware-solaris-tools.tar.gz
    tar xf -

6 Run the VMware Tools installer:
    cd vmware-tools-distrib
     ./vmware-install.pl
Respond to the configuration prompts. Press Enter to accept the default value.
