Upgrade VMWare Tools inside R80.10 gateway

[Lukas_Nagy]

Hello,

I am trying to find a way to update VMWare Tools inside R80.10 because I need version 8.6.0+ to use some of 5.0 ESXi API ( executing process, etc ). With default installation on VMWare ESXi 6.5 I have just VMWare Tools for 8.4.

Is it possible to upgrade the tools?

Thank you.

Hi,

Yes, please officially provide the highest VMware HW version and tools supported by Check Point. 

Can´t find this myself in any Best Practice guides or sk

The vm-tools package provided as part of the default Gaia install are the versions that can be used currently.

It's quite likely that newer versions of vm-tools require a newer Linux kernel.

I assume once we offer R80.20 (or later) with a newer Linux kernel, we will also update vm-tools as well.
