[OmniOS-discuss] Omni and vmware tools (ESXi 5.1)

[Günther Alka]

update:

There is a first success report at
http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community...l#post19939891 
<http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/f101/zfs-stammtisch-570052-110.html#post19939891>

It seems that patch 
http://www.vmware.com/patchmgr/findP...29&version=121 
<http://www.vmware.com/patchmgr/findPatch.portal?product=ESXi+%28Embedded+and+Installable%29&version=121> 
with a newer vmware tools version is needed to install vmware tools on 
OmniOS

If someone gets it working too, a confirmation and step by step howto
- patch ESXi (free) locally
- create a virtual floppy (needed with current Omni - needed with 
current stable ??) http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/VMwareNotes
- How to mount installer cd in ESXi and install tools

would be very helpful (Maybee at the Omni wiki?)

I will check this asap too (a lot of other work the next days) to build 
an All-In-One system based on Omni instead of OI
