Configuring VMware
Tools Components
VMware Tools
provides drivers and services that enhance the performance of virtual machines
and make several vSphere features easy to use. When VMware Tools is installed,
you can configure many of these utilities and change their characteristics.
You can use one of the
following methods to configure VMware Tools.
- The command-line configuration utility in the guest operating system. You can modify VMware Tools settings, shrink virtual disks, and connect and disconnect virtual devices.
- Custom scripts.
- Menu commands and dialog boxes.
- By editing the configuration filetools.conf
For information about installing
and configuring VMware Tools in other VMware products, see the documentation
for your product. For information about VMware Tools in hosts that are
provisioned with vSphere Auto Deploy, see VMware Knowledge Base article
