Editor to share with you what to do when installing vmtools in centos 7 or above, I believe most people don't know much about it, so share this article for your reference. I hope you will gain a lot after reading this article. Let's learn about it together.

Vsphere monitors and manages virtual machines in real time through VMTOOLS. Open-vm-tools tools will be included in versions above centos7. We need to uninstall this component and install the vmtools tools that come with vsphere.

Specific problem phenomena:

How to uninstall your own open-vm-tools

# rpm-e open-vm-tools-- nodeps

Then load the system ISO

Install the vmtools that comes with vsphere

Searching for a valid kernel header path... The path "" is not a valid path to the 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64 kernel headers. Would you like to change it? [yes]

Reason: the header file for kernel was not found.

Resolution bill: there is a required kernel source file in the / usr/src directory, if not, use the command yum-y install kernel-devel

Solution:

Stop the installation of vmtools installation using ctrl+z

Then yum upgrades kernel-devel

Or in Enter the path to the kernel header files for the 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64 kernel? In this step, enter the directory of the kernel header file, mine is / usr/src/kernels/3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64/include.

At this point, if your version of vmtools is older, it will still prompt not a valid path. This is because the path of the 3.x kernel version.h has changed and vmtools cannot find it.

Use the command sudo ln-s / generated/uapi/linux/version.h / include/linux/version.h

Mine is sudo ln-s / usr/src/kernels/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h / usr/src/kernels/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/include/linux/version.h

Then run vmtools setup again. The problem no longer occurs.

Meaning of the question:

It can solve the problem that the vm custom script cannot be written to IP when the virtual machine is generated in batch.
