> Update Pano Manager VM’s VMware Tools
> The Pano Manager VM ships with a version of VMware Tools installed. Ensure that you keep VMware Tools up to date on the Pano Manager VM, especially for major versions: in other words, don’t use Vmware Tools from ESX 2.5 on a 3.5 server.
> To update Pano Manager VM’s VMware Tools:
> Perform the following series of steps on the Pano Manager VM.
> Before You Begin: Check Status of VMware Tools

> 1. | Ensure that the Pano Manager VM has a DVD/CDROM device: power off the Pano Manager VM, right‑click on the Pano Manager VM, click Edit Settings, then use the Add Hardware wizard.

> For detailed instructions about how to add hardware devices, go to the Adding Hardware section of the VMware VI3 Basic System Administration Guide.

> 2. | Using the Virtual Infrastructure Client, connect to VirtualCenter or the ESX host to access the Pano Manager VM.

> 3. | Right-click on the Pano Manager VM and choose Install VMware tools.

> 4. | Log on to the Pano Manager VM as root.

> 5. | From the Pano Manager console Main Menu, select option 4 - Drop to bash shell (Power Users).

> 6. | As root, mount the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image and change to a working directory (for example, /tmp), as follows.

> # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom # cd /tmp

> 7. | Uncompress the installer and unmount the CD-ROM image, where xxxx is the build/revision number of the Workstation release.

> Note: If you don’t know the version of VMware Tools, press the Tab key after you type VMwareTools-; the version automatically appends to the command string.

> # tar -zxf /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-5.0.0-<xxxx>.tar.gz # umount /dev/cdrom

> 8. | Run the VMware Tools tar installer for the appropriate version of ESX, answering the on-screen configuration questions. Press Enter to accept the default value.

> • | For ESX 3.5 execute:

> # cd vmware-tools-distrib # ./vmware-install.pl

> • | For ESX 3.0.x execute:

> # cd vmware-tools-distrib # ./vmware-config-tools.pl

> 9. | Log off the root account.

> # exit

> Next Step(s): Upgrade Pano DAS
