We have a vCenter Server 5.0.0 managing an ESX 4.1.0 host running a VM with Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.4 installed.
Choosing "Install/Upgrade VMware Tools" from the VM's menu initiates the task, but that's the last evidence I see. Choosing "Check & upgrade Tools during power cycling", then stop/starting the VM also doesn't seem to do the trick.
Is there a log somewhere on the VM or vCenter or Server that will tell me what's happening?
Maybe I have to download the package from packages.vmware.com and yum install it on the VM. The Red Hat package? And what version do I need to match: the vCenter's, the Server's, or the OEL's?
Or do I need to compile from source, and where would the source be?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. I'm without a clue at this point. Thanks....Lyle
