There are some problems while install FreeBSD 9 vmware tools on VMware ESXi 5 update 1, after searching a few hours, I got the solution. You will make the new binary from source, thus no more COMPACT 6 in kernel configuration. 在VMware ESXi 5 update 1安裝vmware tools有不少問題,經過幾個小時的奮戰,終於找到答案。 首先要強調,不需要在Kernel設COMPACT 6,但是需要裝compact6x的package。以下用藍色標明需要key的指令: Install compact6x package # cd /usr/ports/misc/compat6x # make install clean Mount the cdrom image from vCenter/vSphere Client to guest vm. # mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/cd0 /mnt 若你已經試著裝過,cd0 可能會變成acd0,就改成 # mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0 /mnt Extract the source code. # cd /root && tar xzf /mnt/vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz # cd vmware-tools-distriblib/modules/source # tar xf vmblock.tar && tar xf vmmemctl.tar && tar xf vmxnet.tar && tar xf vmxnet3.tar Compile the vmblock module. # cd vmblock-only # make && make install & cd .. Compile the vmmemctl module...
