VMtools on Nested ESXi?

November 28, 2014Chan Leave a comment

Just came across this really cool link through the VMware flings page that lets you download the VIBs required to run the VMware vmtools inside a nested ESXi guest. Have already installed it on all my nested ESXi VM’s in the lab and works like a dream

https://labs.vmware.com/flings/vmware-tools-for-nested-esxi

Enjoy….!!
