I've just updated VCSA to 5.1.0.10000 Build 1065184. I had to uninstall VMware Tools first 'cause update failed with
"VMware Tools cannot install because it appears that another installation of
VMware Tools is already present. Please remove the previous installation and
then attempt to install this copy of VMware Tools again."
error in /opt/vmware/var/log/vami/updatecli.log (I had similar problem with previous update).
After update I can see in this log:
"22/05/2013 14:43:48 [INFO] Running /opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_reconfigure_tools
VMware tools is not installed on this VM.
22/05/2013 14:43:48 [INFO] Update status: Done VMware tools reconfiguration"
Should I install VMware Tools via vSphere Web Client again? I supposed VMware Tools to be installed by VCSA update. I can see packages anyway:
vm-vcenter:~ # rpm -qa|grep -i vmware-tools
