vmware-tools Cookbook
Chef cookbook for installing vmware tools. Currently supports installation from source (default) or from VMWare's yum repo
Github: https://github.com/andrewfraley/chef-vmware-tools
Requirements
If you're going to install from source, you'll need the minimum requirements to build vmware tools. On a RHEL or CentOS system, you'll need: make gcc kernel-devel kernel-headers glibc-headers perl
This has only been tested on RHEL6, but should probably work on Debian/Ubuntu if building from source. On Ubuntu you'll need build-essential.
Attributes
Source Install (default)
-
node['vmware-tools']['url']- URL to download the source tarball. No default. -
node['vmware-tools']['version']- Version of VMWare tools you're installing, e.g. "9.4.0". Used to prevent installing over automatically upgraded versions. -
node['vmware-tools']['upgrade_only']- When set to true (default), only install the specified version if it's newer than the installed version -
node['vmware-tools']['src_path']- Path to store the vmware-tools source. Default: /usr/local/src
RPM Install
-
node['vmware-tools']['graphical-tools']- Set if you're running X -
node['vmware-tools']['esx_version']- Should correspond to directories seen here: http://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/index.html -
node['vmware-tools']['repo_base_url']- ESX versions seen here: http://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/ -
node['vmware-tools']['gpg_key_url']- URL for the repo's gpg key. Default is set to VMWare's. Leave default unless you're using you're own yum repo
