Why? VMWare's rpm repo is well maintained until EL6. Am 11.11.2014 um 14:22 schrieb Nux!: I would use the open-vm-tools from EPEL in EL6 as well. VG Rainer ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] open-vm-tools on CentOS 6
Why not? I already have EPEL on 99% of my systems, don't have to bother with Vmware's repo. Open-vm-tools is good enough to be included in Base in EL7, it's good enough for me on EL6.

Re: [CentOS] open-vm-tools on CentOS 6
It was brought to my attention that the EPEL package is maintained by Vmware as well, so there you go.. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=545136 -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!

Re: [CentOS] open-vm-tools on CentOS 6
I know that open-vm-tools is maintained by vmware. I meant the Vmware repo is alway matching latest vSphere release. But: - doesn't contain newer pv drivers - isn't on par with vSphere releases For example: 9.4.6 Dyno Hongjun Fu h...@vmware.com Release matching the vSphere 5.5p02 release. 9.4.0 Dmitry Torokhov d...@vmware.com Release matching the vSphere 5.5 release. There is no 9.4.6 rpm for C7 but we are running vSphere 5.5p02 VG Rainer Am 11.11.2014 um 16:17 schrieb Reindl Harald: the ones from EPEL too guess who maintains the packages Wed Jul 16 2014 Ravindra Kumar ravindraku...@vmware.com - 9.4.6-1 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=15954 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=545136 Am 11.11.2014 um 15:22 schrieb Rainer Traut: Why?

[CentOS] open-vm-tools on CentOS 6
Hello all, As far as which VMWare tools to use - the ones from VM Ware or the open-vm-tools available through the EPEL - is there any consensus on what is better? I know that for CentOS 7 you are told to use open-vm-tools but what is the situation with CentOS 6? Thanks.

I know that for CentOS 7 you are told to use open-vm-tools but what is the situation with CentOS 6? open-vm-tools worked fine even with Fedora 9 in 2008 that was long before RHEL6 existed at all Reindl, Thanks, that is good to know. However, aside from proving that there is some history to the open-vm-tools this really doesn't reflect on the compatibility of the current version.
