We have SteelCentral AppInternals 10.x Analysis Server and we want to install vmware tools on the machine. How can we accomplish this?
Solution
Starting SteelCentral AppInternals 10.12 we have an in built command to install vmware tools.
NOTE: !! Prior to 10.12 version there is no option to do this. Even with 10.12 this might not work all the time because of dependencies (Check the bug attached to the article below). The below commands will reboot the Analysis Server !!
Steps to install vmware tools
Log into Analysis server using SSH session
Execute the following commands
>enable
>configure terminal
>show vmware-tools
The command should show not installed as screenshot above
>install-vmtools
Mention the ESXi version you are on.
Once you confirm the install using 'Y', the install will start and might take upto 10 minutes for the install to finish
The system will be rebooted at the end of the install
Once the system is back online use the below command to check the version of vmware tools installed
>show vmware-tools
