Tool: Unofficial VMware Tools for Sun Solaris 10

Posted by Alessandro Perilli | Tuesday, March 14, 2006 | 1 Comments

Juergen Winkelmann (probably hearing me praying since months...) released an unofficial VMware Tools set for Workstation 5.5.1 and ESX Server 2.5.1. The package has following features:

enter and leave console window without CTRL-ALT
copy and paste to and from console window
connect and disconnect removable devices through the "Devices" tab of vmware-toolbox
guest resizing through "Autofit Guest" and "Fit Guest Now" (only for Solaris 10 Update 1 (1/06) running on VMware WS 5.5.1)
delivery of heartbeats and configuration information to the host system through vmware-guestd

Missing features are:

shared folders (vmhgfs)
high speed network adapter (vmxnet)
memory management (vmmemctl)

Download them here. If you are going to try this package you could find interesting my guide on How to install Sun Solaris 10 inside VMware Workstation 5.5.

What about screen resolution above 256 colors.
Currently using Sun X server in order to get 1024x768 256 colors.

Is there any way I can get better resolution?

Thanks
Shaun.

VMWare 5.5.3
