Update Pano Manager VM’s VMware ToolsThe 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.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.

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