we have redhat version - 6 ( VM machine ) that run under VM vsphere client 5.5.0
we want to install the VM ware tools on the linux machine
from this site ( vmware site )
we see many RPM that belong to vmware tools
how to know which RPM need to download? , in order to perform from scratch vmware tools installation
https://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/5.0u2/rhel6/x86_64/index.html
vmware-tools-core-XX.el6.x86_64 -> need dependency by example ( vmware-tools-foundation >= 0:X.X.X vmware-tools-libraries-nox = 0:X.X.XX vmware-tools-guestlib = 0:X.X.XX )
I would choose all vmware-tools-* package in this directory and better choose the last repository vmware for vmware_esx55 and install it (the dependancy will be find by yum with a yum localinstall if rpm or by yum install vmware-tools-* if you have add the new depot).
Best regards
