Uninstalling VMware Tools
When the upgrade process of VMware Tools is incomplete, you can uninstall and then reinstall VMware Tools.
- 开启虚拟机。
- Log in to the guest operating system.
In a vSphere and open-vm-tools deployment, if you decide to use packages specific to Linux operating systems to manage VMware Tools, and if you already used vSphere to install VMware Tools, you must uninstall the existing VMware Tools. For more information about Linux OSPs for VMware Tools, see 适用于 Linux 客户机操作系统的操作系统特定软件包.
VMware Tools is available only for very old Linux releases. The open source project open-vm-tools provides Linux support, and Linux vendors and Linux communities use it to deliver open-vm-tools for Linux releases. To install, upgrade, and uninstall the open-vm-tools on the system, use the software management tools provided by the Linux operating system.
