Title: Endian EFW 3.0 and VMware Tools install Post by: Fossy777 on Tuesday 18 March 2014, 08:00:49 am Hi there,
since the 3.0 is final since a few weeks I was wondering about anybody already can tell the community how to install the VMware Tools on it. I already tried the last post about how to install them on 2.5.1 but this doesnīt work on 3.0. Thanks in advance, Jochen Title: Re: Endian EFW 3.0 and VMware Tools install Post by: mr_tyl3r_durd3n on Saturday 22 March 2014, 10:33:40 pm Me too , why endian community source are not fully aviable?
kernel-headers are missing also for 2.5.2 Title: Re: Endian EFW 3.0 and VMware Tools install Post by: wboerhoop on Tuesday 25 March 2014, 01:35:24 am VMTools Install
ESXserver: VM (tab drop-down menu) Guest Install/Upgrade VMtools login on console Endian firewall: ** Substitute VM to the name of the VMWare archive. Type: - cd - mkdir /mnt/cdrom - mkdir vmtools - cd vmtools - mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom - cp /mnt/cdrom/VM[TAB] . (space fullstop means to copy to my current location which is /vmtools) - umount /dev/cdrom - tar -zxf VM[TAB] - ll - cd vmw[TAB] - ll - ./vm[TAB] **Change to no for GCC and Kernal Options All other Will be Having vmware-tools start on boot: I hacked up some init scripts to have vmware tools start reliably on boot time. Probably not the best way, but it works. Edit the /etc/rc.d/rc.ipac and add a reference to a vmware startup script. Change : echo "Setting up ip accounting" /etc/rc.d/helper/writeipac.pl /usr/sbin/fetchipac -S exit 0 to: echo "Setting up ip accounting" /etc/rc.d/helper/writeipac.pl /usr/sbin/fetchipac -S /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.vmware exit 0 Save and exit the file. Next, create the vmware startup script, reboot: echo /etc/init.d/vmware-tools start > /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.vmware chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.vmware reboot Log back into SSH after the reboot, wait for a good 2 - 3 minutes for all the startup scripts to complete, and verify vmware-tools was installed properly: root@efw-1351283599:~ # ps -ef |grep vm root 5120 2 0 12:20 ? 00:00:00 [vmmemctl] root 5270 1 0 12:20 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/vmtoolsd root 5526 5517 0 12:24 pts/0 00:00:00 grep vm Goodluck ;D Title: Re: Endian EFW 3.0 and VMware Tools install Post by: Fossy777 on Wednesday 26 March 2014, 02:15:19 am Doesnīt work here:
Quote Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes] Initializing... Stopping VMware Tools services in the virtual machine: Guest operating system daemon: [ OK ] Virtual Printing daemon: [ OK ] Unmounting HGFS shares: [ OK ] Guest filesystem driver: [ OK ] Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed... make gcc kernel headers of the running kernel Searching for GCC... The path "" is not valid path to the gcc binary. Would you like to change it? [yes] ...? Didnīt you also have to compile it? Any help appreciated.

**Change to no for GCC and Kernal Options All other Will be Default answer for all installation options isa yes (enter), only with GCE and Kernel option say No Title: Re: Endian EFW 3.0 and VMware Tools install Post by: Fossy777 on Wednesday 26 March 2014, 08:56:41 pm I donīt know what kind of VMware tools you have but I always had to compile it to get it work on any other linux systems. Anyway I tried all you wrote and as I expected it does not work here. I guess compiling it is a must.

fix only whit this to get working correctly guest reboot end shutdown ln -s /etc/init.d/dhcpcd /etc/init.d/network And create /sbin/ifup ifdown nano -w /sbin/ifup /sbin/ifconfig $1 up chmod 744 /sbin/ifup nano -w /sbin/ifdown /sbin/ifconfig $1 down chmod 744 /sbin/ifdown Title: Re: Endian EFW 3.0 and VMware Tools install Post by: Fossy777 on Thursday 27 March 2014, 12:39:40 am Strange. I did all that and for me it is *not* working:
root@firewall:/etc/init.d # ./vmware-tools status vmware-guestd is not running Maybe it is dependent of the VMware version one is running? I use 4.1 Is there a way to cleanly de-install all and try the complete procedure again without having to install the whole firewall again? Title: Re: Endian EFW 3.0 and VMware Tools install Post by: TheEricHarris on Friday 23 May 2014, 03:00:00 am Thanks, followed instructions and vmtools start up just find on my ESXi 5.1 box.
