If this is a production server operation VMWare will *only* support you
running their list of supported FreeBSD versions and their official VMWare
Tools. This means you'll often be left behind several releases with the
most recent available being completely abandoned by the FreeBSD project.
Hi,
I am running an ESXi 5.1 VMware server, with one FreeBSD (8.3) guest.
I am trying to figure how to install the VMware tools:
- the linux one are working, but I woul prefere a more native FreeBSD
- should I install /usr/ports/emulators/vmware-guest6d ? It fails with
not finding vmware-gues

I'd have to look at this some more. I got much further in the porting
when I hit another snag with the vmblock driver (the inline assembly
needs to be __asm__ instead of asm or something needs to process it
that way for it to work, I also hacked around a vfsops issue which I'm
not 100% sure

I use the vmware tools for freebsd from the free vmware server product for my

interested in adding "official" freebsd support to esx.

Hi,
Is there any future development work being undertaken in order to port
vmware-tools to FreeBSD.
As our organisation using VMWare ESX Server and a lot of our servers are
being virtualised to save hardware costs, this would let our FreeBSD servers
follow as well.
It does work find under
